The Black Mist Enchantress - Chapter 99

” Special blood is simply the blood of Lady Vilmon, as per the books we found in the black world, special blood is the blood of the supreme heir of their clan.”

Hearing Jordan’s knowledge about the special blood all lost the hope again. They wanted to find Lady Vilmon but where? How? They had no idea as there was not even a clue from the black world about Lady Vilmon. Alex didn’t know where could have the infinity well taken Lady Vilmon.

Just as the group were standing at the entrance, a small kid came to meet Alex with a few roasted nuts packed nicely inside a small basket.

He stood in front of Alex and tried to catch his breath back as he had run from the celebration place till here. Emmy asked Jordan to fetch water for the kid and he happily drank the water which Jordan had brought for him.

” Prince, my godfather had painstakingly prepared this gift for your coronation day but due to fever, he couldn’t attend the ceremony. However, I couldn’t see him sad so I thought of giving it to you, please accept our small gift.”

Alex knelt down and received the small basket and politely said, ” I am not the crown prince anymore nor the king. My brother, Mike is the next king, okay.”

The kid stood silently and others thought that the kid was thinking that his gift was wasted because he had an expression of disappointment on the face. But what came next from his mouth dazzled everyone.

” Prince or king, positions are just a decoration. You are a good human being, that only matters. Anyway, not having a family is not a big deal, just love those who are loving you back. See you have a lot of friends, enjoy your life with them instead of thinking of your lost ones.”

Watching the positive attitude of such a small aged kid, Alex cheered up. Also, Mike’s playfulness also returned. Age doesn’t matter, experience does – this proverb was true to the point in this case.

” Kiddo, you are smart and keep up this positiveness in your future also. Now I will arrange my physician to check your father’s sickness, okay!”

The kid smiled at Alex and prepared to leave, but after walking a few steps, he turned back, ” I also don’t have parents, my godfather got me from the dumpster. So, I don’t even know my identity yet I am happy. Prince, you are fortunate enough to know your real identity, believe in yourself and move forward.”

The kid ran away leaving a smile hanging in everyone’s faces.

” You are fortunate enough to know your real identity” Emmy repeated what the kid had just said.

” What did you say, Emmy?” Alex asked.

” Alex, your real identity, you are the only biological heir of the supreme lord. As Jordan said, the special blood is the blood of the supreme heir of the clan. So your blood is special.”

Alex and Mike were astonished by the fact which Emmy termed up, he quickly called Jordan and asked him to let the Demar brothers come to the Envoy Salian college after three days.

The friends packed up and bid farewell to the Salian elders. To Alex’s surprise, his best comrade, uncle Neshag also followed under the pretext of being the Combat master at the college. Emmy knew the reason well but she didn’t interfere in his business.

Coming back to the campus, the group of friends rushed to the old graveyard which had barely a few old debris of tombstones left. The land was not fit to be even irrigated and the soil was unusually dry. No one would believe that land would so be dried up although it had a lake so close to it.

Seeing the sun-baked soil, Juliet used her powers to bring some moisture to the surface but how much she tried, the land was still dry. Still, Juliet was adamant and kept on trying to wet the land. Finally, the land was still dry but Juliet was looking pale after exhausting a good amount of energy on it.

” Child, this land will never be wet.”

Juliet and the gang turned around to see their new combat master, Master Neshag.

(A/N – Yes, he is the head butler of the crown prince residency but now as there is no crown prince, he needed another job, LOL…)

All of them bowed and showed respect even though he was their uncle Neshag, Alex smiled as he was happy that this man took a job where he can practice his skills well.

” Why won’t this land be wet?”

” This piece of land is known as the land of death, this is the same place where the sorceress and enchantress had the biggest fight. It was said that the fight was fierce and took place continuously for three straight days… on the third day evening, the enchantress was going to achieve her victory and finish off the evil sorceress once in forever but then he came… ”

” The great lord?”

Jordan curiously asked to which master Neshag smiled, ” The great lord huh, good! Yes, Maaran was a great person but in the fit of vengeance towards the supreme power, he too became blind.”

” Then what happened?”

This time Juliet was the excited one, she forgot about her failed attempts and enthusiastically chimed in the conversation.

” Enchantress was head over heels for that guy, how could she ever take a sword against him? When she was facing the betrayal pain, the sorceress and Maaran attacked her together. As on the front, it was Maaran fighting, the enchantress did not dare to attack, she defended all the attacks but never raised her powers in front of him. Thus, that day, the enchantress and her army lost the war.”

” Further, the sorceress asked Maaran to banish the defeated army and to kill the enchantress but he only banished the army. Enchantress didn’t return ever again to this world till he called her back.”

Emmy listened to the story which master Neshag had told, for some reason she had a strange feeling inside. Something was not right if the great lord waited for his only woman, then when Alex’s mother came to him, he could have simply accepted her. However, he married her off to another guy who was completely out of the whole scenario. With days of Alex’s mother dying, the great lord also surprisingly fell sick and the disease turned to be fatal.

Alex felt a chill suddenly and he looked around. Apart from Emmy, all others also felt an unusual cold feeling all of a sudden. Master Neshag then asked everyone to get inside the rooms and also he walked back to the buildings. Just as everyone left, in the barren land where Juliet had poured water, a breeze began to blow lifting the black ashes which were resting in the soil, round and round it swirled, finally becoming the black swirl.

If Alex and Juliet had seen this swirl, they would have recognised it as the same black swirl from the secret pathway chamber which tried to attack them. The black swirl turned to a particular direction and stayed there for some time. After a while, it slowly advanced towards the direction and when it reached its destination, the whole mist disappeared.

Inside the room, Emmy was in deep thinking while Alex was still trying to decode the manuscripts from the black world. He also tried to draw the picture which the old man was drawing on the walls, the same in which Alex and Emmy were standing in front of a triangular building.

” Emmy, have you seen any triangular buildings in your dreams or visions?”

Hearing Alex, Emmy jerked up from her train of thoughts, She heard his question which he repeated patiently for her sake, but she too didn’t know.

” Why do you ask?”

Alex slowly explained his vision about the painting the old man was painting on the wall inside the sea cave they entered. He was sure that he wasn’t imagining stuff as he could open the wall as the old man had shown.

” I believe you but we want proof for all that.”

” Emmy, the strange triangular tower had a strange symbol on its top as well as under the paintings it was written – Beyond the time. I think we are fated to be together for the seven births.”

After Emmy heard Alex flirting with her in broad daylight, she turned scarlet red. Alex knew that she was shy but still loved to tease her like this.

” Complete your work, I am going to sleep.”

Just as Emmy came near the window to close it, she saw something lurking over the graveyard. Emmy quickly called Alex to see what she saw.

” What is it my dear sweety Em….”

” Shush …look at that, are you able to see it.”

Emmy pointed to the place where she saw the shadow lurking, Alex wanted to rush towards the graveyard but then changed his mind after seeing the shadow clearly.

” My dear brother wants good beatings from this great brother.”
