The Journey (2)
*****************************
Zoey’s pov
I had anticipated this, I was happy because this was the fulfillment of a prophecy. Here’s a little tale about the witches
FLASHBACK
“Long before the world began, witches were already in existence; although it was not known as “witches” then, it was a unique name attached to this species.
These species were proficient in two things – immense wisdom and the innate nature of a healer.
It was in rare cases that both of them could be found in the being, evolution began, and the name “witches” was given to these species”.
The history teacher concluded, it sounded like jargon to my ears. I could be considered one who was curious about things, and my curiosity concerning this had not yet reached its peak.
The classroom had different species dwelling in it – werewolves, vampires, witches
Everyone lived in harmony and was curious to know more about the other breed.
Unfortunately, the harmony did not last as a new law was entrenched in the werewolf kingdom which made the witches afraid
The werewolf kingdom looked at the witches in another light – not as their comrades but as their enemies.
This made the witches resolve to weaken but it was awoken by the news of an ancient prophecy that said the werewolves and the witches would become allies once more
BACK TO PRESENT
“Your sister is sick,” I said to him. I was a little bit different from the other witches, I could discern the emotions of any breed by the mere look on his face.
This was one of my strengths that I considered a weakness, centuries back.
I hated being different from everybody because it made me a target for bullying, centuries ago.
Well…. Enough about me, let’s tackle the situation on the ground
I guess I gave you all a little speech about me because of the situation on the ground; I had never seen anyone who had an unreadable expression on his face just as Ethan had.
Different thoughts ran through my mind as I pondered on his status and the breed he belonged to.
Not reacting to the news that had been spoken forth meant that he had heard news that was worse than this.
I placed a bowl in front of me, and there was water in the bowl; I looked into the bowl as I scanned her body system through it.
I raised my head and said to him
“She was poisoned”
Ethan nodded his head, and I fell into deep contemplation; the poison was not an ordinary one, as it had gotten to the root of her system.
I needed to be there physically to properly diagnose how deep the poison was.
I had learned the art of disappearing, I had learned it as a free skill and thought that there would not be any circumstances that would require me to use such a skill.
Life can be a mind-blowing tool at times.
I knew that the young one in front of me had status, wealth, and influence.
I could reveal who he truly was, it wouldn’t take me five seconds, but I was not too bored to be going through his information.
“We won’t pass the same route you came to the hut with; we will be passing through another route,” I said.
I noticed his countenance, and he still had a blank look on his face; I could not be bothered by his expression and went outside the hut to meet the no-name guy.
I placed one of my palms on the no-name guy’s shoulders and one of my palms on Ethan’s shoulder.
I asked Ethan for directions, and he replied; I nodded my head before closing my eyes, and we disappeared from the hut and reappeared at a castle.
I smirked to myself; I knew I had made the right guess; he was a man of status, and from the look of it, his status was very high.
The no-name guy entered the castle and I followed suit. He arrived at a locked room and bowed his head to Ethan.
“I’ll be taking my leave now, my Lord,” He said.
Ethan nodded his head as he left the locked room, leaving both of us there.
“What’s your status in the palace?” I asked him.
“I’m the ruling Alpha of the pack”. He replied
I smiled, I knew that I was in the werewolf den but I never knew that his status could be as high as this.
He opened the room, and I entered the room; the figure on the bed looked so weak.
His gaze was on me, and I chuckled, I did not consider it to be a crime because I knew that it was due to the love and affection he had towards his sister that made him perform such an act.
I said some enchantment and placed his sister’s hand on mine, my countenance changed drastically.
I frowned a little and gave her a reviving potion to drink, she drank the potion as she opened her eyes.
Her eyes looked so weak and I could tell from her expression that she was trying so hard to hide the pain in her eyes.
This was way beyond me, the poison in her body was corroding her system at a faster rate.
I turned towards Ethan and noticed the concerned look on his face.
“The poison in her body is corroding her system at a faster rate; I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do about the situation,” I said
His countenance dropped and I noticed he was a bit gloomy
“There’s a solution”. I muttered
He looked at me with anticipation in his eyes.
“There’s an ancient witch who can cure this disease; she’s locked up in an Omega body,” I said.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
He looked at me with a confused expression.
“You’re affiliated with such an Omega, Her name – Lena”, I concluded.
A relief expression could be seen on his face, I used an enchantment to preserve the body of his sister.
The enchantment is capable of preserving her for a long while.
