Chapter 534 - The Council Head (4)

Adrianna walked to the last room along with Dmitri and when she opened the door, her eyes widened. That small room was converted into a luxury room. A small baby crib was in the corner right next to the main bed. Almost everything that they would have needed for their stay was there. "Grandfather is just too sweet. I didn't expect this kind of hospitality. Where did he get it all from?" Adrianna laughed. 

Dmitri circled her shoulders and said, "Now that he isn't here, how about we have another round? I think you were left for wanting more." 

Before Dmitri could say anything, Adrianna took her wand out and disappeared. 

Not everyone's magic would work there, but because her wand had Mun's powers also, it worked there. 

Dmitri narrowed his eyes and muttered under his breath, "Adri, where are you going to go? You will have to come back here and when you come back, I will be waiting for you." 

Meanwhile Adrianna found herself outside the inn on the backside. She shook her head. "Dmitri!" she sputtered. "I am so going to take revenge of this torture!" 

"This is no torture darling. This is love," her mate answered her through their mental connection. "Now that I know you are very much around, tell me where you are." 

Shocked at hearing him, Adrianna immediately shut her mental shields and smacked her head. "This man!" she shouted. It was pretty cold outside and she wasn't wearing her jacket. She shivered and brought her hands to her mouth and exhaled breath over them to warm them. She was sitting on a small flat bench that Ed had carved out of a small boulder. It was on the edge of the plateau on which the inn was built. Just a few feet away the plateau ended into a deep valley. There was a beautiful waterfall, which was now freezing slowly as the winter had started to set in. White snow crusted on the rocks and gathered in the crevices. She noticed a few blue tinged peaks in the distance and decided to go back in the inn when suddenly from the corner of her eye she noticed something red and orange on the wall of the valley in front of her. Adrianna focused on this strange activity. 

Wind whistled on the bare slopes and the red and orange lights increased in intensity lighting up the area that surrounded it encasing it with the reflection of bright colors. Adrianna's eyes became wide with horror as she observed that it was fire crackling in a crevice. It smoldered and licked the sides of the crevice and the slope of the mountain like a hungry kitten. The plumes of black and grey smoke rose relentlessly. The embers glowed and leaped towards the outside, in the valley, as the fire threatened to grow. It was strange to see that kind of fire in Northern Mountain. These slopes were forever covered with snow and unless there was an active volcano, there was no chance that there would be raging flames. However, even the volcano would erupt from the peak and not like this. This was on the side of the slope in a crevice. Was that even a crevice or a small cave? 

This only meant one thing. Adrianna's thoughts plunged for the worse when all at once she heard a muffled explosion. A large ball of fire escaped from the flames and it hit the side of the slope on which the inn was standing resulting in a very faint, almost negligible rumble of the ground. 

"What the hell was that?" Adrianna said aloud. Was someone attacking them? Was someone trying to sabotage the inn? Her thoughts went to her son and Dmitri and hair raised on the back of her neck. 

Another ball of fire was released from those flames and traveling at a rapid speed, it hit the slope on the same place where it had hit earlier. 

"Hell!" Adrianna shouted and took her wand out, ready to stop the next ball of fire. She ran towards the edge of the plateau and stood there with complete attention to the fire on the opposite side. Her mind raced as to who was doing it all. It couldn't be a simple nature phenomenon. She had to go there to the other side and find out. Adrianna summoned her broom. The broom came flying and as soon as Adrianna held her hand out in the air, it came in her grip. She mounted it and flew to the other side of the slope in order to first stop the fire from emitting more balls. As she got nearer, she realized that the crevice wasn't as small as she had anticipated. It was much larger and by the time she was only several meters away, she could see that it was actually a small cave. The fire covered the entire mouth of the cave and crackled intensely. Surely there was someone inside the cave, else how was it possible that two balls of fire were shot from there. 

Instead of going right inside it, Adrianna decided to fly above the mouth. When she reached the desired place, she heard a female voice chanting spells. She thought that she was imagining what she heard but when she concentrated, she heard the same voice again. Only this time the voice was louder and she realized that those were wizard spells. "Fircazzi!" came a loud voice filled with anger and the fire outside increased in intensity by burning higher with an explosion. Adrianna stumbled as the fire leapt higher as if to engulf her. Her breaths became shaky. 

Did someone from the Wizard Kingdom come here to destroy her? Who knew about her plan? Who was after her? In order to escape the leaping flames, Adrianna ascended in the air. She had to quickly come up with a plan to stop this disaster. She knew that only a wizard could perform such spells. They were easy ones but for a normal world they could pose a threat. There was one thing that she was shocked about – when no one could practice their magic, how could this wizard perform this in the Northern Mountains? Things baffled her. 

"Prociattsn!" she cast the spell on the cave's mouth. Large number of snowballs lifted from the snowy slopes and rushed to close the cave's mouth. Within a few seconds the mouth was stashed with snow. The fire was completely doused. The voice coming from inside stopped as if now cautious about what just happened. 

This was the perfect time. Adrianna blasted the snow and entered the cave. She saw a wizard standing there in ragged clothes. The lights were so dull that she couldn't make out who that was. 

"Illuminati!" Adrianna said and a bright light filled the cave. Standing in front of her was a haggard woman whose eyes were sallow. Her clothes were all torn and filthy. Her hair looked as if they were matted and not washed for ages. She smelled of puke and putrid meat. Adrianna's gaze shifted to the small cave around her. It was filled with bones and flesh. She felt like nauseating. 

"Yanga?" Adrianna's body trembled. "What are you doing here?" she demanded in a stern voice. On the inside she wondered how Yanga could perform the magic in the Northern Mountains?
