" Why are you standing there like a dummy? Read it if you want, anyways you are inside my memories, so there is nothing which I can keep as a secret from you."
" Can you see me?"
The Enchantress smiled at the girl who was standing shell shocked in front of her. The eyes in which hatred and sorrow were filled, turned gentle as a flower. Emmy calmed down after seeing the sudden change in the enchantress attitude.
" Child, I cannot disclose many things to you even though I want to, but as my sealed power is actually resting inside you so your memory will get triggered by some things which have importance in my life. Now also, the fountain outside has triggered your mind a lot but if you hear someone criticizing me, you are sure to lose control over your mind because that sealed energy will start to invade your conscious mind. "
Emmy still couldn't believe that she was talking to the great..one and only … the most powerful enchantress, the woman who was known to be the epitome of evilness and cruelty turned out to be a gentle and caring person. This gave Emmy the courage to talk freely to the enchantress.
"Lady enchantress, I am sorry to ask as my curiosity is not letting me keep quiet. May I know how I am connected to you so as to have the sealed power inside me ?"
This time, the enchantress stood up and walked towards Emmy. She observed Emmy from head to toe and raised her hands to caress the little girl. Just as her hands touched Emmy's head, the latter felt a soothing effect over her brain and she soon closed her eyes as she felt much relaxed.
" My child, you don't need to know what happened to me but you have to kill that cunning vile woman before she reaches him. I am willingly giving you all powers but you will be able to use them only after you regain your memory. Shawn, she will get revenge for all of us. You have done a pretty good job of raising her."
Emmy could hear the fading voice of the enchantress as she was drifting away to deep sleep.
The moment she opened her eyes, she felt the coldness. As she tried to move her body, she saw Alex was sleeping at her feet and it seemed as if he had fallen asleep while rubbing her feet.
Emmy could not be happier after feeling his love for her. She was also a woman who ached for love, and she always regretted that Alex's first love was someone else. All her friends Juliet, Janet, Leona and even Kiara had been the first love of their corresponding partners. Moreover, If Lamia comes back, she would need to leave Alex forever, this thought irked her heart. Emmy knew in her heart that Alex also loved her much more than she loved him but she couldn't be adamant. However, she was also determined that if Lamia didn't have a reason to tie down Alex, she will fight for love.
Emmy quietly moved her legs and let Alex sleepover a small bolster. She then saw all of her friends were sleeping like logs whereas master Neshag sat near the firepit and slept leaning on the pillar on his side. Around his eyes, the shade of dark circle was much dark in colour as well as there was no sign of master Rotrigues, so she understood that he might have returned to the Esbertrazian clan to tell the other two elders about what happened here and he must have asked master Neshag to look after all of them.
Without alerting anyone, she quietly went to the first floor and scanned the whole floor, she observed that here four rooms were prepared which were similar in shape and size. Even the damaged furniture looked like.
" So the enchantress wanted to make this tower as her base, interesting."
Moving forward she saw a room on the right-side end, she tried to open the door but it was jammed so she left it. But there was something which attracted her to that small room.
"Hmm, I have to open it later alone as I feel a strong affinity towards this room. Wonder whose room it might be?"
Emmy didn't waste any time but moved forward to check the second floor, she had seen it already so wasn't surprised to enter the enchantress room. All the items in her dream were just the same, bed, table and chair. Wait, where was the book then?
Emmy checked all over the room but it wasn't there. " I should have just read the book when she had asked me to do so, wait a minute, wasn't it wrapped up in red silk? So it was the great Ravenics for which they had come here. The book contains the secrets of the supreme power as well as the journals of the great lord."
Emmy pulled her own hair, she was so stupid. The enchantress had clearly given her permission to read it while she stood there gawking at the enchantress.
" What were you thinking at that time Emmy? You little fool.."
Emmy squatted at the floor and was pissed off at herself for missing out on such a beautiful chance. But then the thought dawned on her mind.
" Wait… wait… wait, if after the war, the distressed enchantress punished the sorceress to a dire place and daringly wrote about it inside the book of Ravenics. I have seen it clearly there were no entries after the message enchantress had written about the sorceress and lackeys, then how would the great lord have it to Lady Vilmon. According to the elders, the great lord had the Ravenics from the time he had taken over the Esbertrazian clan."
" No way" Emmy screamed inside her mind. The guess was wild but if it was true then how foolish was the enchantress to believe that man again.
" It only means one thing that they had met again after the war, even before he was on his deathbed."
Emmy rushed down to find all her companions still sleeping, so she calmed down. She went out and got freshened up under the waterfall. While she was taking shower, she saw something shining over the curtain of the waterfall. She wanted to check what it was but suddenly thoughts of Alex invaded her mind. So she returned back to the tower, changed her dress and waited for her friends to wake up.
For changing her dress, she had used the toy room. Hence, while he was waiting inside the room, she thought of looking through the toys which were kept inside the room.
Meanwhile, master Neshag woke up from his sleep. Although he caught sleep in the early morning, he couldn't sleep more as he was mentally disturbed. Neshag stood up and didn't check on his students as he thought no one would have woken up as it was so silent here.
Rubbing his eyes, he stood up and just as he wanted to get freshened up, he heard a slight noise from the other room, so without glancing at the students, he rushed to the source of the sound.
Opening the door, master Neshag felt as if his soul was pulled out and crushed with a large stone. He saw the view of a woman dressed in dark green and black dress sitting inside the room with a powerful aura surrounding her. Hearing the door opening sound, the woman had turned to look at Neshag and then he could not take it anymore.
Before Neshag fainted, he just murmured " Lady Enchantress..".
Emmy was stupefied to see master Neshag opening the door and on the next second, getting faint. She didn't care about her friends's sleep anymore, Emmy directly screamed at a top of her voice.
All the men who had much acute hearing sense than the women understood that it was Emmy who had screamed. They looked over the area where she had slept and then they noticed master Neshag was also missing.
Alex's mind snapped out from the present moment, he remembered the way Neshag had warned him before. He sprinted towards the toy room to find master Neshag lying down on the ground and a gorgeous beauty sitting inside the room.
Alex felt that he had missed quite a few heartbeats after seeing his woman so beautifully carrying the majestic aura around her. It was like just over a night, Emmy had transformed into a superior commander of the great army.
The men who came following Alex opened their mouth wide in aw. No one had seen Emmy looking so dazzling and gorgeously. Mike and Jordan looked at each other, they were reminded of the day when they saw Emmy for the first time when she walked inside the classroom. Such a tremendous change was unbelievable in other's view.
" Sister-in-law, is it really you ?"
Mike was only the one who had the courage to ask the question.
