Chapter 51 - The Black History Of The Dark Clan

" Enemies of the dark clan???"

The question from Emmy was the same as what others had in their mind. All eyes were on Jordan who stood there with a blank expression.

" The answer to this question, I cannot enclose much. When I was trained with the Esbertrazian dark force, once master reminded me of such an issue. He said once they have found out about the book, no power can destroy the land of VilmonArk. "

" I guess it is time for me to visit my father's place."

Emmy took her next step towards the Esbertrazian clan, which others followed without any doubt. The next day with the consent of the elders, they set their journey to the place which once was hell for Alex.

Arriving at the other side of the mountains which secretly guarded the entrance of the dark clan, Janet, Juliet and Mike had their mouths wide open in awe. The scenery around them was breathtaking, the waterfalls, lush forests, and the sea of red flowers made the place heaven. 

" Is this heaven? Brother, you never told me that the grounds of the Esbertrazian clan was this alluring. I would have begged to become an Esbertrazian for living in such a heavenly place."

Alex stared at his brother who was behaving like a child, still he smiled. The previous time when Alex sneaked in here, his mind didn't have eyes to enjoy these attractions. His mind drifted to that drastic day when he barged in their territory and pushed that girl to the infinity well. He was feeling guilty over his actions now.

Sensing the change in Alex, Emmy took his hands in hers. Her warmth slowly cheered up Alex. Jordan smiled looking at the couple in front of him intertwining their hands and then he looked at his woman who was going to smell a pink flower in the bushes.

" NO…."

Jordan quickly pulled Janet away from those bushes which had pink flowers on it. He sighed in relief and hugged his little woman tight in his embrace. Others turned back to see the terrified expression on his face.

" Look, the scenic beauty of this place may be mesmerizing but there are hidden dangers behind this attractiveness. Those bushes are the first trap for outsiders, these are called Alvish herbs."

" Alvish herbs? I haven't heard about such a dangerous herb. Is it only found in the dark clan?"

Janet's curiosity piked up earnestly to pick up a sample of that particular herb but Jordan gave a big no for her request, killing her curiosity at its peak. He then slowly explained the various traps which were surfaced on the way to the dark clan. Mike patted over Jordan's back as an acknowledgment for safeguarding all of them in the journey.

" So you are saying that all these dangerous things were invented by the elders of the dark clan. No wonder, other clans could not even plant a spy inside yours. Thank god, with us Jordan was there to lead the way, or else I would have seen the real heaven by now. Brother.. but how could you pass all these dangerous traps without any scratches. "

" Power of love, someone blindly loved your brother so much that even the elders of the great dark clan could do nothing to him when he broke their precious miss's heart."

Emmy's comment made Alex flabbergasted but he firmly held on to hands and smiled because he knew she was jealous that someone loved him to such an extent. He had specifically asked Jordan to set their journey on foot because after reaching the dark clan, he knew that the elders would keep Emmy out of his reach always. So he tactfully planned this journey to spend some quality time with Emmy.

Feeling a person's gaze on her, Emmy pinched Alex by his waist and whispered, "I do care about these petty things but I trust our love more than anything in this world. "

" Little lass, you know what is there in my heart now. No amount of power can change my love for you. "

Alex kissed on her cheeks and made his statement clear once again. Slowly approaching the destination, the group made the whole journey much lively.

Finally, they reached the main tower where the elders were waiting for them. The clan members were notified only about the arrival of an important person and when they saw it was the Salian prince, they scoffed. 

A large crowd was watching the group of youngsters arrive at the entrance. They recognized Jordan as he was the best disciple of master Rotrigues who was allowed to roam around different places. The scrutinizing gaze made the young women in the group frown, it was after the warm welcome from the elder Miandrake , did they feel comfortable.

Leaving the crowd in suspense, the elders welcomed the group inside the castle. Emmy held Alex's hands tighter as she was feeling ecstatic to visit the place with her father's presence whereas Alex was thinking about his last visit here.

Before settling down, Emmy straightly bombarded the elders with questions that were bugging her all along. Elder Lathodore was reluctant to answer her queries but still, to face the danger, he also wanted to know the roots. 

"Child, I know you have a lot of questions. But why start with this one ?"

" My parents were murdered by unknown people and no clues were left by them. So I want to start with the black history of your dark clan."

" I don't know where I should start from, alright. I think you have to know from the one lord entity that ruled the whole Ark. We know about these as our great lord had trained us in order to teach our miss about her ancestors. The lord entity was the supreme power, which then got divided into two powers. The pure sorceress and the black enchantress were the prodigies of the lord entity. As the name itself suggests, both of the young women became proficient in their powers, one was the purest form and the other retained the evil dark forces. They considered each other as sisters and competed for the best always."

" The fate of VilmonArk started from such a competition between them."
