On that fateful night in the city of Benn, a young witch, one of those who had allied with Verona, was practicing her sorcery on a family; a man and his wife. As she was trying to get some useful information from them. Along the line, some of the soldiers of the city which were on patrol that night spotted her out as she carried on her evil assignment."Hey, you!" One of the soldiers shouted."Help us please!" The man and his wife cities out together at once.So the witch turned her head and saw the soldiers as they approached her. So she casted a magic charm that hit a tree and made it fall to hinder them from coming any closer. While she used the opportunity to escape.But her charm was not as successful as she expected it to be. The tree fell on three soldiers, of which one of them was the soldier leading the others. Thus, he ordered the other five soldiers, who were not victims of the spell. "After her!! Don't let her go away!"So they crossed over the fallen tree and when they ca
The following evening, in the field of Greg, a young man walks in, and he passes through the field down to the building of Greg and then he knocks on the front door twice. After waiting for some time he did not get any response, so he called out. "Greg...!" Then he waited another moment for someone to respond but still no one answered him. So he recited, "G-Greg...!" As he walked to another side of the building and still repeated the name of Greg, with the thought that no one heard him call from the front door.Meanwhile, inside the house, Greg and Tyra were busy attending to Elek who had not yet regained his consciousness when they heard the call from outside. So Greg cleaned himself hurriedly to go and see who it was that was screaming his name and also find out his or her reason for calling.He washed his hands and face, then he took off the shirt which he was wearing and changed to a different garment that was free from the smell of the herds which he was giving to Elek. "Be quiet
Then Verona pushed the door of a fairly constructed cabin open and entered the tattered looking tiny space of the cabin. And then she walked closer to the one and only good looking part of the wall. Where she stood still for about half a minute with only her lips moving which only implied that she was making an incantation.Just as her mouth stopped moving, the fine part of the wall changed to a big purple porter and as soon as she crossed over, Godric entered the cabin and he rushed to go through the same porter before it closes but he was already late since the porter had began to close and there was every tendency that if he crosses while the porter was getting close, he would be taken to a location different from the one Verona had gone.So the only thing he had to do was to wait for the porter to close completely and then he too had to make his own incantations so as to reopen the porter. During his incantations, his words were audible unlike that of Verona's. Not only that, it t
Back to the city of Babb, in the secret place where Verona and her recruited mages are hiding. Two mages, a wizard and a witch appear into one of the rooms in the hideout, and as they beheld the face of Verona and Godric, they both bowed and said. "My lady. My lord.""What news do you bring for us from the outer world?" Godric asked them."We still haven't found any city weak enough for us to strike and possess. It seems like as the days go by, the governors, commanders, soldiers and inhabitants of each city become more...." The witch answered."Becomes more what?!" Venora shouted in anger.Then the witch and wizard trembled with fear as the witch stammered. "Nothing my lady.""What were you about to say?" Verona yelled with the same magnitude of anger."Nothing..." The witch repeated as she was shaking due to fear that Verona might cast a spell on her."It had better be nothing as you have said." She said as seemed to calm her anger down.Then Godric said to the wizard, "What do you
After a very long while, the body system of Elek began to absorb the heat and lightning which it had earlier produced and at the end of it's absorption, Elek collapsed with his face to the ground, none of his body part any further motion and he laid like a dead man."Father... He is dead." Tyra cried as she drew nearer to check his pulse. When she had bent down and was about to lay her hands on him.Greg yelled, "Don't...! Tyra don't...!," and she ceased hand then he also drew closer to the point where Elek was lying, and took a close look at him on the floor without making any physical contact."Is he dead?" Tyra asked, looking up to her father's face with so much expectations."I don't think so, he would be fine." Greg bent down also as he lifted him up from the floor while he said to Tyra, "Go get some water and a towel." Then he carried him into the room and laid him on the bed.Not long, Tyra entered the room with a bowl of water and a towel just as her father had instructed her
Now in the place of Greg, the mailman returns with a reply to Elek's message which he had sent out a year ago. And when he got to the environment, it was quiet as usual and Tyra was the only one who was seated on the floor in the field watching the beautiful butterflies that were flying around the field, perching on the colorful flowers of the field.When he had come down from the back of the horse on which he was riding, he looked around the area and found her where she was sitting and smiling, then he whistled, but her attention was so far away that she did not hear him whistling.So the man whistled again and again but still, her focus was on the butterflies and the way they flew around her with some of them resting on her hands.Then the man saw that his whistle was not drawing any attention to himself so he shouted. "Hey, you...!"And this time, his call made Tyra notice the presence of someone in the vicinity, hence she lost focus on the butterflies and looked around to see who
"There are only the ten of us that escaped from the school when it fell, and since then we have not found any other magicians." Craig answered."What about wizard Ned and witch Demi, their bodies were not found in the scene so there is hope that they may still be alive right?" Dewitt asked.But Craig gave an unexpected reply which pulled down the courage of the leaders again. "It has already been a year since the incident and we have tried communicating telepathically with them since but it has all been to no avail. Therefore there is only one meaning to that."But despite what Craig said, Keld was full of doubt and refused to accept his answer. "No, there is no way they are dead.""You have to accept it because it is the truth or else you have another thought on how they might have survived, and we would like to hear of it." Oved looked at Keld."You could not come in contact with them because Verona had somehow blocked all channels to you reaching them." Keld said to Craig and his w
The news of the fall of the last school of magic spread fast throughout the empire and it was known to the inhabitants of Gouna that so many wizards and witches passed on during the fight.As a result of the news, Elek was forced to write to his father and mother again to know if they were among the surviving magicians despite the fact that he had recently received a message from them."Uncle, I would like to send another message to my parents." Elek seeked his permission with the note in hands.Then Greg fixed his eyes on him, "Let me see." He demanded to know what Elek had written this time.Then Elek handed over the written note to his uncle and then stood to know what Greg thought of the note.Greg quickly had a glance through the note which Elek had put down in writing and soon he was done reading it because it was a short one. Then he looked up, back at Elek. "Your parents are definitely going to be alive, they are one of the greatest sorcerers this empire has ever had. Whereas,
