The Black Mist Enchantress - Chapter 141

The whole event was baffling, no one knew what had happened as the two victims, Alex and Janet were unconscious. Elder Miandrake was shocked to see their body conditions especially Janet, her life was hanging on a thread whereas Alex had some burns on his back but that was not what the elders were worried about.

” Is there any method to save Janet?”

Juliet and Kiara hadn’t stopped crying since they heard the news while Eliza was trying to help in stabilising Janet’s meridians inside.

Elder Miandrake looked at the youngsters and shook his head. He did not know what to say in Janet’s case. Along with the loss of blood, the heavy blow which her body took had made her completely paralysed,so even though he managed to save her life, she could be living dead for the rest of her life.

Elder Lathodore asked everyone to leave the treatment room except for Galstorie, Neshag, Rotrigues and Miandrake. The things they wanted to discuss were not concerned with either Alex or Janet.

” Galstorie, you have seen it better than us, please tell the truth now.”

Galstorie, who was being questioned, just looked at the sky,watching the light of night rolling the starry carpet. The incidents of the past were not like this at all. His master, Byron, could only awaken his power because the sorceress’s seal was obstructed by the layer of enchantress’s power. The violent reaction had made inner demons awake in Byron and that led to all catastrophe.

” Well, in master’s case, enchantress had casted a powerful layer around him to protect himself from unseen dangers but on that unfortunate day, sorceress had striked master with her seal technique resulting in his behaviour change. Well, it was just that his evil powers were awakened and you all know what happened afterwards…”

Silence crept through the room, no one could understand the situation, the energy spread that was felt by the elders at the time of the blast was the same as the past time and exactly due to this reason, they were astonished. If history was repeating , then the only answer would be the return of both sorceress and enchantress.

“But that’s not possible. According to the last words of the great lord, the sorceress was killed and the enchantress went into seclusion.”

Answering Elder Rotrigues, Neshag calmly said, ” The answer is only their powers are surfacing. If the rumours are true then while Sorceress was being killed, she might have leaked her powers to some other source and same in the case of enchantress.”

As Neshag and Galstorie knew the seriousness of this event, they quickly took action to find out the two sources of power which originated the blast while the Esbertrazian elders were given the task of reviving Alex and Janet.

—————————————————————————————————————-(On the day Alex was attacked by Talsha and team)

At the cliff top mansion, rockside area….

Emmy stood there thinking about it for some time. When she decided  to leave the place, finally a feeling of being stared at rose inside Emmy. She further looked into the deep sea and it confirmed her doubt. The calm water had bubbles rising in it and the intensity was increasing like something was emerging out from the water.  Emmy froze at its sight and finally in front of her was the swirling black mist.

The black mist was swirling like a small tornado but Emmy could feel that the dense air was not affecting her at all. While it was sucking all the rock particles into its eye, none of them even touched her. The waves were crashing violently against the rocky cuesta but it was not wetting Emmy, hence she realised what was happening around her.

The black mist actually was shading her from the surroundings, the wind could not flutter even one strand of her hair and not a drop of water could fall on top of her. An invisible power enveloped her and protected her all along when she walked towards the black swirl unscared.

A thousand thoughts were running through Emmy’s mind at that moment, she knew her identity but what happened at the clifftop manor was still a mystery. As she approached the eyewall of the force, the black mist gave off a different vibe, as if it was identifying its owner.

Emmy watched the black mist diffusing itself with the air and slowly the color changed, from dark black, it became gray and then finally pure white. The intense force suddenly emerged from the center of the white mist, shooting straight to Emmy. Before Emmy could analyse the situation, the white force intensified its strength and hit Emmy’s heart.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….”

Emmy shrieked in pain but no one would hear her cries. The force shook her body and her veins bulged as if it would burst at the very next moment. She struggled hard but with each moment the force pressurised her more. Finally, Emmy could not hold herself any more, she knelt down on the rocky surface, bruising her knees and closed her eyes.

Darkness filled her eyes, Emmy somewhat felt helpless against the power which now had started to control her body. Deep down Emmy felt that this power was not going to be dangerous, instead it was healing her body. She decided to surrender herself to it and see what it was going to do with her.

The black shade faded away as soon as Emmy started to relax her body. She didn’t budge nor opened her eyes as the pressure spread to various parts of her body. She could feel the energy flowing inside her and finally the surge force dispensed equally within herself. Although Emmy had her memories back, it was at this moment that she understood who she was… the power behind  her parents and the mystery of the massacre of the clifftop manor became clear as a picture in her mind.

Emmy shivered watching those haunted memories rushing into her brain and suddenly at one point she screamed. With her abrupt change in mood, the black mist subsided completely. Light shone through the dark clouds, the violent waves also calmed down but still there was no reaction from Emmy. She was kneeling down on the rocky cliff with her eyes closed.

Emmy opened her bloodshot eyes and looked at her tightly enclosed right hand. Opening it, she saw a green jade resting in her palms, matching the smooth contour of her white skin. She grasped it tight and then saw Jane covered in blood and Alex fighting with an unknown source. Anger surged inside Emmy and then she waved her hand, letting a powerful force out to help her beloved.

(Author’s Note – Flashback to the story lines – This powerful strike was the black force which protected Alex and Jane from Talsha’s wild attack .)

” You have waited for me in the past years lying low but that is enough, show me what you are safeguarding beneath the ocean bed.”

The powerful aura from Emmy was unstoppable and as if the sea understood what she was referring to, the waves gave in to the power and from it emerged a beautifully decorated black metallic coffin. It had various strange inscriptions on it and was pretty grandly made.

Although Emmy knew what had happened in that fight, the appearance of this coffin startled her. She never expected such a surprise would be hidden underneath the rocky cliff. She walked closer to it but her hands shivered to open the coffin, Emmy’s parents bodies were never found at the spot, so this could be it.

Gathering all her courage, she motioned her hand to unlock the coffin.As the box opened, Emmy could not believe what she saw inside it.

Tears rushed in her eyes but it could not put out the fire of wrath building inside her. From her hands , black mist rushed towards the box and Emmy did not think for another moment, burning the beautiful coffin along with the content which it had been safeguarding for past years, Emmy silently took an oath in her heart.

” The promise I gave you, will be kept till I have my last breath and this secret shall be a secret forever between us.”

Emmy asked the waves to wash away the ashes of the coffin into the depth of the sea and she walked back with unstable emotions to the clifftop manor.

Standing in front of the manor, Emmy felt foreign as well as a homely touch. She knew deep inside who she was but sometimes, time cannot heal some scars of the past. Everything was clear for Emmy now and with a determined mind, Emmy rushed back to the Esbertrazian clan. This time, she won’t be foolish to get hurted by one person and suffer due to the backstabbing of some ungrateful wretches.

Rushing back to the clan, Emmy had already put everything that happened in the manor at the back of her head and now her friends were her top most priority.
