Chapter 58 - The Black Core Guardians

Janet looked at the two men who had a murderous aura surrounding them now. No one would tell that these two were the most cheerful people before the elders arrived. Janet turned to Jordan who blinked his eyes asking her to keep her curiosity low.

The elders assigned the tasks and asked the Demar brothers to take special care of the women in the group. Shortly after, they reached the dark towers, as the name suggested, the tower was eerie and gave an evil feeling.

Alex stood in front of the door of the dark tower, he clearly remembered the way he barged in on that day and those memories gave him shivers. He held Emmy's hands tightly to keep his emotions stable. Watching Alex trembling at the sight of the tower, Emmy could imagine what thoughts were running inside his mind. 

" Alex, don't feel guilty, we will feel to sort it out. "

The group of eight people stood in front of the heavy door of the dark tower. Leon and Houlson were confused because previously when they asked how to enter the dimensional world, none of the elders could find the key to unlock the dark tower.

" Umm, who was tasked to hide the key of the dark tower? The elders were tight-lipped till today, they haven't even given us a clue about it."

Listening to Leon's murmuring, Alex took the flight of stairs and kept his hands over the door. His action bewildered both Demar brothers letting them know that the key was a person, no one could ever think of such a possibility. The brothers were feeling proud of their masters, as this rare idea was one in the world. They would have slapped themselves if they knew the mastermind behind this idea was a poor little woman who was forlorn in her lost love.

The door slowly opened and the group entered the tower. The sight which greeted them was a dark and dusty space surrounded in complete darkness.

" First, we need to lighten up this tower, then only we can find which door leads to the entrance of the dimensional world."

The Demar brothers and Jordan set into action and they lit up the whole tower. Except for Alex, all others were mesmerized by the decorations inside the dark tower. 

" The history of the dark tower starts from the time when the core power was divided into two. The separated power was given the shape and attire of women. If one was an angelic beauty, then the other was incomparably a devilish enchantress, both of them reigned this place. But slowly, the evil power was found to be increasing and thus the enchantress became the queen of the dark world. Then the sorceress together with the great lord overthrew the dark regime. This tower was used to be the nest where the great lord and enchantress usually met. Hence, even after becoming the lord of the whole VilmonArk, the great lord didn't want to make any changes to this tower. "

" He also liked her, otherwise why would he keep this tower after she left the land of VilmonArk."

Although Emmy was not familiar with the Demar brothers, still she directly asked them about their revenge story.

It was Houlson who took initiation to tell the others about the Demar clan and how they were eradicated. Leon kept his silence as he was quite young when these happened.

" I told you about the core power right, our clan ancestors were the black core guardians. After the power separation, our great grandfather was assigned to be the guardian of the enchantress but in order to protect her during the wartime, he sacrificed himself. But later on, after the defeat of the black army, they were condemned to the dimensional world and don't know where it started, but one day a rumour started to circulate among them, that it was the Demar family who betrayed the black army and made the enchantress believe in the great lord. The lovesick enchantress came late to the scenario and could save only our father before the whole family was killed by the riot."

As Houlson finished their story, everyone patiently let him open up his feelings. This time the silent Leon continued, " Even on his deathbed, our father had only requested to avenge his family."

" So this means that, after the rise of the great lord, the enchantress's army was divided into two, half of them staying with her and the rest turning into her enemies."

Answering Janet, Houlson replied, " Yes, we can believe that. The highlight is after the defeat, the enchantress totally sealed her powers till she was again asked by the great lord to give him an heir."

"What an irony??? first betraying her feelings then asking her to help to give him an heir. The great lord surely had guts to do that."

" We don't know much about the relation between the great lord and the sisters. Our elders said all of these can be found out from the Ravenic. That book contains all the information about them."

" So if we find that book named Ravenic, everything becomes easy peasy right!!"

Killing Mike's enthusiasm, Jordan revealed that the book was long lost with their princess three years ago. 

" When the elders tried to manage her, she left the castle two-three times, no one knew where she went. Our miss used to return after a few days but as the days of the engagement neared, she once disappeared for straight two weeks."

" Didn't the elders ask her, where she was disappearing to? She might be seeing some allies outside, right!"

Juliet got super excited thinking of such a case but she forgot that it was Alex who pushed the princess to the infinity well.

" Elders didn't dare, our miss from childhood showcased the temper of our sorceress but after meeting the crown prince of the Salian clan, she started to behave differently. Elders thought it might be due to the feeling of love but later on, they discovered that the power of enchantress was starting to emerge. When he broke the engagement, that day elders were truly terrified and locked her inside the dark towers. "

" And that's why I found her here…. but I thought..."
