"The third group looked like an illusion. And such things are usually created using black magic....,"
"Black magic!" Everyone except Amos exclaimed. Their mouths dropped open and their eyes widened in shock.
"Isn't that stuff we see in movies or stories?" Derrick asked, unable to hide his shock.
"Of course, it did exist, although that was a long time ago. Because those who practised black magic caused chaos in the kingdom they were killed. Their tool and books were gotten rid of...,"
"How do you know all of these things?" Raymond asked, his curious eyes focused on Joanna's face.
"Maybe she is among those who love history books...,"
"Have you all forgotten that she is the King's mate?" Audrey cut in. Her eyes darted from Raymond to Derrick's face.
"As the future Luna, she had to read history books and familiarize herself with things that happened in the past whether or not she liked it," Audrey helped Joanna out.
At the mention that Joanna was the future Queen, Derrick stole a glance at the face of the guy by his side.
He was so relieved to see that he took the revelation lightly.
Of course, they were aware of Joanna's identity when they approached her. In fact, her identity as the future Queen was the reason they chose her in the first place.
And this was before Raymond discovered that Joanna was the girl he met in the past.
He was afraid he might have forgotten this crucial fact after falling in love with Joanna and assumed Amos was his only rival.
"Now we have a slight idea about what that thing might be... but the problem is that even if we are aware of what it is, we don't know how to defeat it. And all who were alive when black magic existed are all dead...,"
"Not necessarily," Joanna interrupted with her right hand on her waist.
"Black magic existed like 2,000-1000 years ago. And those who lived then had already died in the great war so what do you mean by that?" Kyle questioned.
Everyone turned and concentrated their curious eyeballs on her face.
"It's true that almost everyone who existed at the time of black magic are all dead but have you all forgotten that the Great Seer is still alive?" Joanna quizzed.
Her eyes moved from one curious face to the other.
"Do you mean Rachel's Grandma?" Audrey half-yelled. Her eyes sparkled at the mere remembrance of those they had almost forgotten.
"The Great Seer?" Amos narrowed his eyebrows and strolled away from the circle they had formed.
"Yes, she was known as the oldest person alive at that time but ever since she made that prophesy over eighteen years ago no one knows whether she is dead or alive...,"
"Didn't I tell you that we met her when we went to The Golden Core Pack at that time?" Joanna asked.
She scratched the back of her head as she tried to recall whether or not she had told Kayden about her encounter with Rachel's Grandma.
"Do you mean you and Audrey have met with The Infamous Great Seer?" Kyle asked, his jaw dropping open.
"Who are you all talking about...,"
"Even if she is alive you know Hilmert Forest is not a place anyone can leisurely enter...,"
"Since this has to do with your safety I don't mind going through hell...,"
"Who is there?" Amos demanded, his eyes focused on the darkest spot on the street close to a pillar.
All of them diverted their gaze to the spot Amos' eyeballs were glued on.
"If you know what is good for you, will you reveal yourself now?" Amos' authoritative voice echoed in the street.
Not long after he spoke, they saw the silhouette of a person close to the pillar.
Slowly, the person stepped out of the pillar and walked close to them.
"Chris....," Joanna nudged Audrey and brought attention to where Derrick and Raymond stood.
Being interrogated was the last thing she wanted to experience tonight and she is aware that this is what the two friends excelled at.
"Guys, how about we go on patrol one more time before we dispersed? Who knows those who attack us might still be lurking around as they wait for their victims," Kyle suggested.
"How can we just leave when we haven't ascertained his identity?" Raymond demanded fiercely, his murderous glares shot at Christopher.
"What if he turns out to be one of them...,"
"He is the King's right-hand man he left behind to protect Anna," Audrey revealed to put an end to their interrogation.
At least revealing the truth to them now is better than waiting to be questioned by them after they had discovered Chris' identity.
"Isn't it a renowned fact that the King doesn't love or spare his attention to her so...,"
"How about you ask the King that anytime you see him hmm?" Audrey cut in abruptly.
Her hilarious expression while saying said this made Kyle chuckle.
"T-t-that...," Derrick stuttered.
"Since we have decided to patrol. The grouping will be...,"
"You, Chris and Amos while I, Kyle, Raymond and Derrick will be in the same group," Audrey announced.
She winked naughtily at Joanna. She secretly pushed Joanna closer to Amos.
After what Audrey did Joanna lifted her gaze and peered at the face of the man she just bumped into.
She had expected him to say something but instead, he threw his gaze away.
"Audrey, why would you...,"
"Since the group has been created I think we should get to work now," Kyle cut in. He held Audrey's hand and led her away. He didn't allow Derrick to state his displeasure.
"Your...," Chris paused when he saw the way Raymond and Derrick gazed at him.
"Miss Joanna, this way please," He said and pointed his hand in the opposite direction Audrey and Kyle went.
Joanna gave a long stare at the guy who hasn't mentioned a word to her ever since the last attack.
"Miss Joanna," Chris called when Joanna didn't budge from where she stood.
"Let's go," She mumbled and ambled in the direction he pointed at.
Raymond and Derrick peered at their moving backs.
