Demetrick was long gone from the vicinity and Emmy could come back to normal before losing out her consciousness. Alex wanted to hug his woman tightly but stopped himself as the Esbertrazian elders were all present here. Still, he grasped her left hand tightly in his hand and appreciated her effort.
Meanwhile, all the others had seen Emmy showing her inner powers for the first time. Although Leon and Houlson had seen the faint green shade in her eyes the other day, they couldn't believe that she was powerful enough to use the ultimate black swirl power. Even the Esbertrazians elders were dumbstruck and each of them was feeling much happier inside.
Now, they had support to stop the enemy without the empowerment of the whole clan using the Ravenics.
" Child, you did a marvellous work now. Are you feeling tired?"
Alex was ready to lash out if the elders were planning to lock her up but surprisingly, elder Lathodore seemed to be very supportive and was even worried about Emmy. He sighed in relief. Elder Miandrake quickly opened his hand pouch and took a small herb, he squashed its juice out and mixed it with water. Then he made Emmy drink that water, soon she felt refreshed and energetic.
The Salian brothers and master Neshag were relieved to see the paleness fade away from Emmy's face but the Esbertrazians members present there again were flabbergasted.
Elder Rotrigues shuttered with his eyes wide open, " Mian.. drake.. did you just feed her with Alvish herb?"
Hearing the name of the herb, both Emmy and Alex looked at each with concern but both of them had different opinions in their minds. Emmy was thinking that poisons were able to make her body re-energised. This was the same result when that day Arona had made her drink the poisonous drug - Navjuan and now the master made her drink the poisonous herb Alvish. She remembered Jordan explaining about the weird fantasy of the Lady Vilmon in creating such kinds of stuff with the Elder Miandrake.
Alex glared at this Esbertrazian elder, he wanted to strangle this man but seeing the pleasant expression on Emmy's face, he decided to keep quiet. Feeling glared by the couple, Miandrake laughed enthusiastically, since he knew that there were some residual powers of the enchantress inside Emmy, he was sure that any poison would help her stabilise her body well and help in maintaining a healthy body. Still, he wanted to test it but the other two elders might not approve of his idea, that is why he took this god-given chance and made Emmy chug her drink down quickly.
" Relax, the powers need these poisonous things to make the owner of the power powerful. See her face, it is glowing now. That means, my theory is true."
" What if it backfired? How could you carry out your experiment on our child? Miandrake, this is not funny anymore."
Elder Lathodore looked at his two brothers who were going to have a fight, if it was inside either clan, then as usual elder Lathodore wouldn't mind them. However, it was in front of their disciples and even master Neshag was there. So he asked both of them to stop their bickering.
" Relax Rotrigues, he knows what is best, isn't it? Now we have to find a way to make her control these powers. I don't think that what she showed was exactly her full power."
Emmy and Alex knew what was the only possible and the easiest way to control her powers was to recover her memories.
" Hey the girls are waiting, let us go in quickly."
Mike was concerned about his beloved using her powers, so he didn't wait to hear the elders bickering. Now even Leon and Jordan were getting impatient with these elders lagging them in their adventure.
Elder Lathodre could read these youngsters faces clearly and he also admitted that they were dawdling unwantedly. Soon, all of them reached under the waterfalls, where Juliet was radiating positive energy. She had used the positive energy in the water to replenish her power and it worked well. Now her countenance was gleaming and poor Mike could not leave his eyes off her for a second. He was glad that here no one was available to rob her away from him.
Reaching inside the cave-like structure, Emmy felt her heart was beating unusually fast. She wondered why she was feeling so excited to visit here. Naturally, she leaned on Alex's shoulders to calm down her racing heart. But this action directly put Alex on tense mode, he was worried about the Alvish herb effect on her body, so just as she leaned over him, he got concerned rapidly.
" Hey Emmy, are you okay?"
Emmy winked at Alex and seeing that she was perfectly fine, he also calmed down. Anyways, although Emmy was powerful and didn't need his protection, as a man, Alex loved the moments where his woman wanted his support. He patted her back and walked behind the elders.
Upon reaching the place, Emmy along with Alex went to check the shining thing which she saw before while the rest got busy observing the interiors of the space. They were checking whether any secret doors were there in here.
Soon Emmy saw a trinket amidst the rocks, she picked it up and showed it to Alex. He also found it strange because the design was a bit weird. Not only them, but the others also haven't ever seen or heard about such a design or trinket.
"Has anyone managed to find any clue here?"
Jordan asked the others, while elders took the trinket to observe it under the light. Yes, the inside of the cave was a bit dark, so they need to go out for proper light.
" See, this way leads to a stream and I guess it is a dead end so I didn't go inside as it is very cold and dark in there," Mike commented.
" What did you say?" Janet became interested suddenly.
Mike was confused but repeated what he said before, " I felt it was a dead end."
" Not that Mike, what did you say after that."
" So I didn't go inside."
" Uh, Mike.. be serious.. what did you mean by cold and dark?"
Mike thought about the place once again, " Well, the narrow path was really cold and dark, as the stream was flowing outside. I thought it would be rocks ahead, so I didn't go inside much."
" Janet, what happened? why are you getting restless?" Juliet asked with concern.
" Juliet, the second clue, do you remember what it said? "
All of them clearly remembered the second clue - "no sun is powerful to warm the hall". So, the narrow path which Mike referred to as cold and dark can be the place. Jordan excitedly went to call the elders whereas master Neshag quickly began to work on the required torches to light up the pathway.
As soon as elders reached, they gave the trinket back to Emmy and decided to lead the group inside the narrow path whereas the young men would safeguard the women from behind. As they entered the narrow path, it was very slippery and cold.
"It is amusing that even if this place is cold and dark, the amount of air inside is high."
Leon looked at Elina who was getting exhausted easily compared to other women in the group, Kiara also saw her sister was not looking good, so she offered her the water from the brook. Elina felt energetic but her face was still pale. Finally, they reached a corridor with three doors.
" Whoah, what an architecture?"
With the sudden exclamation of amazement from Leon, all others also looked at the place where he was pointing. On the roof, the stones were carved into the shapes of women with wings and men bowing to them. The scene was beautifully sculptured on the rocks and it was quite mesmerizing.
"This is a new style, I have never heard about rock carving or stone sculpting to draw portraits. Do you think what I am thinking, Lathodore ?"
Elder Lathodore and Rotrigues, both of them looked at the Demar brothers simultaneously, but master Neshag interrupted them.
" No, this is not the work of the supreme power either... I haven't seen this style ever when I was there."
Living with them, now Neshag knew about the Demar and Lazarian families. So he knew when the elders looked at the Demar brothers what they were thinking.
" Elder Lathodore, do you remember, on our first meeting, you mentioned about the dimensional world right, do you think other than the worlds we know, there is a possibility of having other worlds right. Another place in the dimension and this place could be a portal between the two worlds. "
" Yes, it is a possible theory. "
Checking the two other doors, the Esbertrazian elders got stupefied. they had a hunch but to make sure, they asked the young men to take the first door and the seniors took the second door.. Asking the ladies to wait at the corridor, the men went for their adventure.
