Chapter 25 - Choose Either Enchantress Or Sorceress?

" Sorry, I am a bit late. Is anything left for me to eat, I'm quite famished?" Alex arrived looking fresh as a daisy.

The atmosphere turned placid with his arrival but Juliet served one glass of milk and a plate of nutritious meals to Alex. He gobbled it up quickly under the murderous stare from master Rotrigues. He grinned as he watched the silent warning shot from Emmy towards the proud master.

Jordan and Mike volunteered to carry the basic cleaning materials to the basement. On their way to the basement, Alex held Emmy back letting others go in front of them.

"Are you sure that you will okay down there? Yesterday you fainted even before entering inside, will it be really fine ?"

"I want to know what is the secret my father hid from me, what dangers are hidden from my eyes? I can't walk back now and to avenge my parents, first I need to know why was the basement heavily sealed by the Esbertrazian seal? When I entered the basement after gaining my consciousness that day, there was no seal placed but now there is a seal. So, let's go and see what's inside. "

Alex was surprised at the level of thinking Emmy showed, even though she forgot about her past, she had good observation over Vilmonark things. At the entrance, the master waited for Emmy and Alex to join them. The old bloodstains over the grid spread rage in his mind. The princess's favorite person... his brother was brutally murdered here. His guileless inaptitude for not being able to protect his brother hurt him hugely.

Janet was studying the emblem on the door panel, whereas Mike and Jordan were trying to figure out how to get rid of the awful smell.

"Master, is it possible for elder Shawn to place the seal while he was dying? For making such a powerful seal, the power transferred to it must also be that great right! "

Master Rotrigues who was drowned in sorrow looked at Emmy who just came to the basement with Alex. He didn't know how to answer Juliet's doubt as he himself was clueless about it.

"I have seen that this seal could only be created by the great master, but after his demise, no one could place the seal unless…."

" Unless the great powerful princess who could escape from the dimensional world and returned here to find her own people brutally murdered or else how could Alex break the seal with just a touch. Isn't it master?"

" Also, I would like to know, you all said that the dark clan princess is the most powerful lord in the history of the dark clan but then why do you believe she could be trapped in the dimensional world?"

Rotrigues fell silent and he hesitated to answer Emmy. Although the great lord warned the elders about such an instance, they were pretty sure that their princess was not matured though to awaken it.

As Emmy's glare deeply penetrated into the master's eyes, he slowly reminisced about the glorious days when the princess was born to the day he saw her last.

" Our princess is born with two powers in her body, one is the power of the pure sorceress and the other … the other is the power of the black enchantress. "

Except for Emmy, all others could not believe what they heard, the term 'black enchantress' was never to be mentioned aloud. She is the cruel erring entity which is the supreme to all the evil force of the dimensional world.

"The barren land called Vilmonark was the burial ground for the creatures of the black world, and their leader was the black enchantress. Our great lord succeeded to overthrow her reign with the help of the pure sorceress. The enchantress and sorceress started to love our lord greatly, so the whole black world succumbed to him making him the great lord of Vilmonark. He was not biased when choosing between the enchantress and the sorceress, but the decision was difficult to take as it might shake the foundation of his power. So he took the vow of celibacy at last which triggered both of the women and they created the dimensional world leaving Vilmonark. But on his deathbed, he called upon both of them and requested to give him an heir. Hence, our princess was born… so should I correct myself to say, our princess was created using the powers of our great lord and the other two powerful women. "

" However, our lord had warned us that the black powers inside our little princess should never be unleashed as it would destroy the whole world. So we trained her accordingly from childhood, her emotions were much controlled and she was turning into an angel like the pure sorceress but then this imbecile messed up her life."

After hearing the origins of the dark clan and their princess from their master, no one had the courage to think about the consequences of the Esbertrazian princess lashing out her hidden powers.

Without wasting any more time, they entered the confined area. Emmy was feeling some familiarity but more precisely it was the unfamiliar feelings surging up. She could not remember what happened that day, not even her parent's faces. Hopelessness started to arise in her mind, eventually turning her eyes to a pool of tears.

Both Juliet and Janet solaced Emmy who was on the verge of a breakdown. The men in the room brought light to the room giving all a clear view of the basement room. Other than blood stains and rusty furniture as well as a few trunks, nothing special was there in the vicinity. Jordan and Mike started with the cleaning whereas their partners helped in moving the chattels inside the room.

Alex opened up a trunk which was covered by a dusty green sheet. In it, he found so many portraits and write-ups. Looking through the various pictures, Alex suddenly got stuck on one portrait.

" Emmy, you were her associate ??? "
