At the Dark Region.
A girl, beautiful enough to create a ruckus, was walking alone straight to the leaders' mansion. Dust and dirt covered herself but she kept on walking, with every step she took, the girl was planning something more dreadful.
Talsha finally reached her destination, although this was once the enchantress's turf, after the battle, the sorceress had successfully made this faction hers. The sorceress had goaded the people of the black world against the enchantress and along with her innocent face as well as cunning mind, she easily controlled them to do whatever she wanted.
Sorceress became so powerful in the Dark region and she established the Dark Palace but after just a few weeks of her reign, the enchantress completely destroyed her power as well as her establishments. In the fire of outrage, the enchantress didn't even consider her sisterhood and in a blink of an eye, she demolished every single power faction of the sorceress. Although all her powers were destroyed, the enchantress kept the sorceress alive and that was the cruelest punishment any person could get, to sit at the top for a day and then fall to the bottom abyss.
Talsha remembered those painful memories of her past and closed her eyes. She wanted to tear the enchantress into a million pieces but she couldn't … unless the true heir of Zucathore clan is with her, she cannot even touch the enchantress or her prodigy now.
"Soon… I will make him mine and then destroy your precious little daughter through his hands..you just wait."
While Talsha was indulging in her own thoughts, she reached in front of the mansion. The guards looked at her with disgust but as they met her eyes, they subconsciously opened the gates and welcomed her inside warmly.
Yes, the power of trance was the speciality of the sorceress, she could easily control anyone and make them do whatever she wants but this won't work against people who have strong determination and mental power.Once, she had used this technique against the great Lord but failed miserably.
Talsha reached the mansion within no time, when the leaders came to the hallway, they were astonished and in the second, all the three leaders kneeled in front of the young lady. Watching this scene, the servants of the mansion were shocked, the mighty leaders who had gold in their knees, never yielded to anyone till now but now they were kneeling , that too in front of the young maiden.
" Welcome doyenne ! We are extremely sorry to let you come find us, but we are confounded with your presence here."
Leader one was sweating profusely and he did not dare to lift his head up because of the guilt. After the havoc created by the enchantress, none of them actually tried to find or help the sorceress and she had to face the aftermath all alone which led to her complete destruction.
None of them knew that the sorceress had her trump card hidden well and after years, she appeared again in front of them to recoup her domain. With one glance, each one of them could recognise their miss even after she had changed her appearance as her fiendishly strong aura.
" Rise"
Talsha felt that her subordinates were actually chickens and a huge change is needed here. Although she wanted to throw these oldies right now, they could be used as bait in her plan. So Talsha did not show her real emotions on her face instead she behaved as if the leaders were forgiven for their past actions.
Scrutinizing the three people, Talsha stood up and walked to them.
" My appearance here is for a reason and I want to know what all things you three have done till now. "
This was the sorceress's style, cut straight to the point and kill mercilessly without thinking twice. The leaders rambled about all the previous happenings and how their spies are working on the enemy side. Also, about the recent war between the Agnartic and Esbertrazian clans.
Till this point, Talsha was only nodding her head but once the war topic came up, on her lips, a curve took shape. The enticing but wicked smile made the leaders stop their mouths running. They knew this topic had attracted their miss's attention.
The leaders quickly mentioned the tiniest details about it and how the Dagardians are going to help the Agnartians against the Esbertrazian clan. A little did they know that, Talsha knew another connection which they could make against the Esbertrazian army commander - Jordan Agnartian.
While the three old frogs were croaking, Talsha already formulated a new plan which made her mission easy.
" You three just need to follow the plan and do not take action without consulting me. I want him alive, is that clear to you? Even a little injury on him then consider you three as dead, for sure!"
Under her threatening gaze, the three elders shivered and even their knees were trembling. They had a feeling that this time the sorceress would go any length to have her love back. Last time there was the enchantress to block her up and now a mere human could do no harm in her plan.
After allocating the leaders their piece of work, Talsha went to choose her own space in the mansion and soon she found that the lakeview room was best for her, it was far on the eastside of the main mansion and a bit secluded.
The new plan formulated requires a lot of luck factors also. If a small thing goes wrong, then it could also lead to her annihilation but if she wins this chance, then no one could ever stop her growth ever.
Talsha closed her eyes, in her mind, his face with the most adorable smile popped up.She always fantasized about him and their life together. Although the sorceress also had an everlasting feelings towards the great lord, Talsha genuinely liked Alex at first, then with Emmy's appearance, she backed off for some time. Afterwards when the sorceress's power completely controlled her, her arrogance to win re-surfaced.
Now she wasn't bothered about the divine love between Alex and Emmy as after her plan was carried out, this couple would never be together. As for the Esbertrazian princess, it will be best if she is lost forever or else Talsha would have to kill her also.
Thinking about all of these things, Talsha slowly drifted to her dreamland whereas the leaders went straight to the Agnartic clan to refine solutions,also inject the venomous idea into the soldiers of the clan.
At first, the commander-in-line, Denzell Dagardian did not approve of it but then leader three mentioned about Jordan who was the so called son-in-law, was the one leading the enemy army. This enticed him to act according to the leaders and they also gave a glorious offer which was the supreme power over the Dagardian clan as well as the commanding power of all the clans.
Finally, after a bit of persuasion , Denzell Dagradian agreed to accept the deal and acted accordingly without thinking twice. What he did not know was that because of his greed for power, it lead to the complete annihilation of the two clans, leaving him no other option to commit suicide in front that only person who always gave away to him.
The plan was commissioned, leaving the whole side with false hopes and ideas. Meanwhile, in the Esbertrazian army camp, things were well planned but Jordan was still contemplating on how to face Denzell Dagardian. He wanted to give him a bit of respect as he was Janet's father but still for his revenge, he might need to fight against the enemy chief commander.
" Still thinking what would you do when you face the commander of the Dagardian family?"
Alex came in holding a cup of freshly brewed black tea. Jordan accepted it and gave a head nod stating that was the exact thing going on now in his mind.
"Well, lets see, he may attack you directly as last time when you went to rescue Rose from his clutches, you gave him a great show of your valour. Although you showcased only a portion of your power, he very well knows various strategies of war. In any case, if such a scenario happens, let me take your chance and attack him instead of you. It can save you from feeling guilty."
Jordan appreciated his friend's good mind but he was determined that in future, he has to take actions for his benevolence, so this time if Denzell attacks him, he will attack back but not fatally.
" Thanks! We will see to it but don't you think that some foul play is going to happen? My mind says they might have changed their strategy for this war."
" What made you think so?"
Jordan smiled and showed Alex a scroll in which a message was scribbled out.
" Beware , the three leaders of the black world have reached and clawed their ideas to the chief commander."
