Chapter 71 - The Hidden Core Powers

The Evildarian even used his psychic power but it showed nothing in vain. The person who came here should be of powers greater than him or else he could have easily detected her presence within the place. When he was pondering on it, he heard the leader mansion's servant outside the cave. He neatened his dishevelled attire and went to the entrance of the cave.

" What makes you bring here, spit it out soon and quickly vanish from my sight."

His bad mood worsened when he saw people entering his territory but as this servant was from the leader mansion, he could only behave arrogantly. If it was any other common man, he would have killed this person even before the latter could open the mouth.

" Greetings oh great one, the leader sent me to deliver the news from Ark place, the crown prince of the Salian clan is actually marrying the only daughter of the Esbertrazian shadow guard, her name is Emmettina. The leaders are asking your appearance as soon as possible."

Hearing the news, the Evidarian trembled. He could remember the prowess of the shadow guard named Shawn, he was able to fight off the Vilmon leaders easily but lacked the cunning mentality. He was plotted and killed in a neat accident. 

" I will come in half a week time. Meantime, ask the leaders to meet that woman in disguise, she will surely attend the wedding of that Salian boy."

The servant went back after getting a well-detailed scroll reflecting the instructions by the Evildarian to the leaders.

" What is happening here? First those journals and then the return of the girl who was once killed. Impossible, the third leader would never lie to me. I need to return to my masters."

Without wasting any time, the Evildarian opened up a large pathway well hidden inside the cave by moving seven rocks in a strange pattern. The stone wall opened up and after he entered the pathway, the stone walkway completely vanished inside the walls of the cave.

Meantime, Janet and Kiara figured out a lot of things from the scripts stolen from the cave. The supreme power lay hidden at some part of the black world. Houlson could provide a better picture of these hidden core powers because his father had lost his families and whole ancestor because it was these very core power leaders who had ordered to banish the whole Demar family.

Everyone was pondering about how long they might have to stay here, suddenly Eliza ran out of the room. She looked left then turned right, following her all girls rushed to the place where Eliza had runoff.

" Hey Eliza, don't scare us like that, for quite a few seconds , we got really scared. What happened, why did you run away from there ?"

" Emmy, the portal has been opened, I could feel the negative energy, we need to escape from this place as soon as possible."

Kiara looked at her sister and she knew that her little sister had this secret for years, she could feel the negative energy in her vicinity. Emmy looked at Kiara who then nodded her head approving what Eliza had said.

" Alright, Juliet and Janet, hurry and inform the men right away."

After Juliet and Janet rushed inside, Emmy gravely looked at the two sisters. Eliza was silent but her eyes were looking at the southern area of the Vilmon. 

" I know that some things you both have still kept hidden from us, however I feel we have something in common that is our goal, to avenge our parents respectively. But in order to do that, please do not put anyone else in a dangerous situation. You both can come with us but now our priority is to find the way out. "

After listening to Emmy, Eliza and Kiara both were shocked but in their heart, the respect for Emmy soared up greatly. After adjusting her emotions, Eliza and the other women reached the hallway where others were waiting for them.

" Eliza, what is the situation you talked about ? Who are you scared of?"

Leon had a frowning expression when he asked this question. In his mind, thousands of other thoughts were running such as a powerful rogue who wanted to abduct Eliza or her fiance coming to claim her. 

The other Demar brother was also worried but not thinking such silly things, he could read Kiara's face like paper now. He got to know that Eliza was giving a warning of the upcoming powerful source and also his lifetime enemy.

" Leon, I think our time is ripe. The source which is making Eliza scared is none other than the core power leaders. They might be coming back to launch their attack. "

Hearing the word core powers, Leon's blood began to boil and his playful nature disappeared soon. Even Eliza was surprised to see such a change in the Demar brothers but no words escaped her mouth.

"Houlson, this is not the time for revenge. We don't have the strength now, take two steps back to strike farther and fastest."

Alex took control of the situation and successfully comforted the Demar brothers. Then together, all of them started to search the journals for the opening of the portal. But the search was in vain, they could find nothing. As they sat hopelessly inside the inn, a glow was seen from Alex's pocket.

The greenish glow caught the attention of the whole group whereas Alex felt like someone was pulling him to a direction. He decided to follow the force where it was taking him. He thought the glow might lead them to the leader's mansion instead, they stopped near the lakeside where everyone sat down to rest. 

Alex took out the glowing object from this pocket, it was the same pendant which Lamia had usually worn. He looked at the pendant which had stopped glowing when they reached the lakeside, he couldn't help himself rather than sighing about thinking about that missing girl.

Then Alex turned to look at Emmy who was busy observing the surroundings with her other two friends. 

" Alex, don't you think that showing such intimacy to this object could hurt Emmy's feelings. Even if she doesn't say it aloud, no woman would ever want her lover to keep his previous lover's possessions. "

" You are right buddy, but I want to give this back when I meet her. Although she has some kind of relationship with Emmy's family, I am sure that she will bless us. Jordan, I really love Emmy.. I… have no words to explain .. about the feelings which I have for Emmy. When my sister-in-law mentioned Victor having his eyes over my woman, I felt to skin him alive and soon if he tries any of his dirty mind games with her, I would never hesitate to kill that lowly rascal."

Just as both of them completed their conversation, they could hear Janet shouting. Jordan rushed to the spot followed by Alex. What they saw was really spectacular, besides the lake, there were few big rocks assembled like pillars but it can be found out with many clear observations. Inside those pillars, the same infinity well was there, 

Kiara and Eliza were super excited, just before they jumped, Leon took Eliza's hands and held it firmly. Eliza could feel her heartbeats racing which resulted in her face being blushed

" Finally, my sister could meet her husband."

Passing the remark the sisters along with Leon jumped into the infinity well leaving Houlson shattered. Although he had promised his father to consider that friend's daughter as his wife, Houlson had some sparks towards this stranger.

The group reached successfully back to the dark tower. The Esbertrazian elders were much glad that every single one of them returned safely but they were more curious about the two new faces. Still, they warmly welcomed the newcomers. 

After reaching the clan, Houlson went to meet his squad, leaving Leon all along with the sisters. This sudden change in Houlson's behaviour made Kiara a bit upset but she didn't show it on her face.

" Alex, are you youngsters intending to attend the second prince"s wedding, the function is tomorrow and on your behalf, I asked the Salian elders to allot you seats."

" Yes, you all must go but before that tonight we will have a small banquet to celebrate your triumph return."

Getting permission from the elders, the youngsters retired back to their respective rooms with Kiara and Eliza getting separate rooms. 

" Alex, what are you worried about?"

" Emmy, look even if I have her jade in my possession, believe me, I have changed totally, it is only you who is there in my heart now"

" Yes,I know it dear…. by the way, Alex what did you tell just now? repeat it.."

" That you are the only one inside my heart?"

" No, what you said in the previous sentence."

Alex bushed a little while he was answering Emmy, 

"look even if I have her jade in my possession, believe me, I have changed."

Alex hugged her tightly in her embrace but Emmy was thinking about another possibility. If what she thought was true, then how were the women connected?
