The Black Mist Enchantress - Chapter 124

” Welcome back, Master”

Galstorie was a bit anxious to see Alex’s reaction and soon he was surprised as Alex nodded at him.

” Uncle Gastorie, you might have been my fath… his servant but now there is no more Zucathore clan. So please here, call me by my name.”

Galstorie found it difficult to believe and he saw confirmation in Neshag’s eyes which made him feel ecstatic. He warmly welcomed Alex and Emmy along with Neshag. After Alex and Emmy went to see Miandrake, Galstorie and Neshag sat near the garden area. They had a lot to discuss the past.

” How was my master after that day?”

” Half dead, not physically though! We both know how much he loved Trianna but after they consummate their marriage, the next day, he knew that he had lost her forever. However, the only thing which is keeping him alive is her last words to him.”

Galstorie remembered that day, his master fighting against the army of the sorceress and finally, when he saw that there was no other way to escape, he ultimately showed his true powers. The sleeping tiger had woken up and killed several hundreds of the guards in a few minutes. Just as he was gaining the upper hand, the sorceress had arrived. His master knew that the only person who could win against the sorceress was the enchantress whose location was unknown at the moment.

At that time, he had shouted to Galstorie,

” Take her away and if I don’t come back, make sure she reaches the Esbertrazian clan at any cost.”

“Master, nothing will happen to you. I will stay and fight, you two can go.”

Galstorie still had chills thinking about that day when Neshag and his master were fighting with the sorceress. Neshag had taken control of the fight for some time and at that time, his master had sincerely apologised to his queen, Trianna and confessed his love wholeheartedly.

” I know you hate me so much, for ruining your life, for taking away your happiness. I am sorry and this time I won’t follow you anymore. You have your freedom”

The acidic look which queen gave was deadly, ” Do you think that I can forgive you that easily? The feud inside my heart would want to kill you every day but now God has given me a chance, you must not die here because your death must be by my son…. the son who has your blood but will be known to be my son only.”

The shock written on his master’s face was visible clearly, he never thought … she would actually bear a child from him.

” Then I will wait for our son to take my life.”

Reminiscing about the past both Galstorie and Neshag could only sigh.

” From that day onwards, his face never smiled anymore. The only smile on his face was given when Demetrick came with the news that Lady Trianna had given birth to a baby boy. Sometimes, I think a woman’s heart is really cold, stone sculpture. They take time to open up and once they give their hearts, behave clingy as an octopus.”

” Do you think that if they had more time together my master could actually move her heart?”

” Your master couldn’t, but Alex could. He would have yearned for fatherly love and Triana would have to compromise for his sake. Whatever happened should have never happened. Let us see if Alex will fulfil the promise or not?”

Galstorie also looked up at the sky without saying anymore word.

At the Miandrake’s herbal quarters, all the three elders were present and Emmy saw the infamous Gabriella. She was pretty as a fruitcake and the bangs which hoped on her face made her look cute and innocent. She was wearing a green coloured check dress which camouflaged with the plants sometimes.

As Emmy was observing Gabriella from top to bottom, her eyes fell over Gabriella’s bell region.

” Don’t tell me please…”

The sudden comment from Emmy made everyone in the room surprised. The male members looked where Emmy’s line of sight was, but could not understand a thing.Whereas Gabriella flashed a vibrant smile, her hands stroked her tummy gently and she winked at Emmy.

Alex, who was watching the eye communication between Emmy and Gabriella understood the whole content soon. Suddenly, he was jealous of Rasber and unknowingly he glanced over Emmy’s tummy. He wondered how he would react when Emmy would let him hear the happy news.

Gabriella, who was concocting the medicine, gave Miandrake a nod and he asked Emmy to lie down on the cot. The two elders stood beside her whereas Alex directly held her hands.

” Are you sure?”

” As sure as I am of my love.”

Alex kissed Emmy’s forehead and gazed at the elder Miandrake, who then poured the concocted medicine directly to her mouth. Emmy swallowed the medicine and closed her eyes. She felt the bitter medicine was entering her body and some pricking sensations were arising inside her. After a while, Emmy opened her eyes, she saw no one had changed their positions and were standing at the same positions when she had closed her eyes.

” Is everything okay? I think this medicine is not working at all.”

Emmy sat up on the cot but still, she didn’t leave Alex’s hands.

Alex was looking at Emmy with the utmost care and in his eyes, the love for her was clearly visible in them. But Emmy felt something strange, his eyes were not focused on her face.

” My dear, what happened to you. Look at me?”

Emmy tried to wave her hands in front of his face but still, Alex was looking down to the cot.

Feeling dejected, Emmy withdrew her hands from his grasp and got out of the cot. However, Emmy got the very big shock of her life, then and there. She saw that she was laying down on the cot and Alex was still holding her hands.

” What had happened? Elders.. can anyone hear me ?”

Emmy frantically rushed towards each one of them but it was like the time had frozen. She gulped down her own saliva and took the courage to walk out of the quarters. She was astonished to see everything frozen and she was the only moving thing on a beautiful painting.

” Trying to kill yourself huh!”

Emmy suddenly turned towards the voice which came from behind. There she saw the same woman who she had seen in the chapel that day.

” Who are you? What is this place? How do you know about all my activities? ”

Instead of replying to any of Emmy’s questions, the woman walked over to the quarters where she saw Alex finally. Watching him hold Emmy’s hands tenderly and the pained expression on his face, the woman sneered.

Then she turned to face Emmy, ” So you want to know who am I right?”

Emmy nodded her head frantically and seeing this behaviour, the woman chuckled.

” He loves you very dearly right! Then hear, I am the one who is going to rip his heart and make him bleed tears every day. The one who will be the reason for all the torments he is going to suffer in the future. I am the one and only Anittemme Vilmon, the lost princess of the great dark Esbertrazian clan. ”

Emmy froze. The real Lady Vilmon who was pushed to the infinity well was right standing in front of her. Emmy saw the hatred which flashed in the princess’s eyes when she was watching Alex a while before. Of course, what Alex had done to the princess deserves this wrath but it seems this young lady had much more to say about it.

” Are you real or is it again a piece of memory you want to show me?”

Anittemme walked towards Emmy in a sinister manner. Her aura and attitude were a bit scary for Emmy but the latter was smiling.

” Don’t you want to remember everything, I will help you out but be ready to get separated from him forever.”

As Anitemme raised her hand towards Emmy’s head, Emmy staggered a few steps back. She clearly rejected Lady Vilmon’s help. Watching Emmy backing off, Anitemme smiled.

” Do you think that without my help, you would be able to get back in your body after drinking that much amount of Alvish in total? Take this chance and listen to me for once.”

” No, if the cost of having my memories back is to leave Alex forever, no, I don’t want either your help or my life.”

Watching Emmy being so adamant, Anittemme wanted to mock this love lost girl.

” Alright, you don’t have much time, I won’t force you to separate, but you can decide it yourself after getting your memory back.”

As she finished her words, she again raised her hands to touch Emmy’s head and this time Emmy accepted her help. Suddenly, a powerful beam went straight to Emmy’s brain and the dull pain she had before, was now in a thousand folds. Emmy screamed in pain but couldn’t move even a muscle of her body.

Emmy closed her eyes and all the fragments were flowing and getting pieced together in shape now. Finally, Emmy fainted after screaming a high pitched screech.

“Quickly, wake her up”
