"Ira o ri uvo" Sophie mouthed some chants.Garol released her from his grasps immediately. He shook off his wings like he was feeling burns on them."What is that, you muttered something" Alpha Jones questioned eagerly."Your wife is a witch, a very powerful witch" the Mage nodded with a smile.Sophie was also surprised. She said that unwillingly. It felt like there was someone speaking through her mouth and body."I do not even know what that means" she gasped."Whatever it means, I knew it made Garol feel pain and fear" Alpha Jones pointed to Garol who seemed to be backing off "I told you to make a choice" Sophie shook her head."I can't leave this place without the stone and killing you along" Garol breathed heavily. He charged back at Sophie and pushed her hard.Sophie fell down.Alpha Jones quickly bent over to grab her."I think you should keep saying more of those things" he advised her."I don't know what to say" she moaned."Just attack him with a made up mind. It wi happen
David came into the throne room holding a woman's hand. The woman's head was covered with a veil."You won't believe who this is" he stopped in front of Alpha Jones. He was breathing heavily. Alpha Jones stared at the Mage and then Sophie. He later bursted into laughter."What's this supposed to mean?" Alpha Jones asked. "This is the new love of your life?" he joked."Talking about love of someone's life. You are right but she is not mine" David gasped and shook his head. He was visibly tensed."Then take off the veil and let us see who is underneath the veil" Alpha Jones said sarcastically. He must have thought David was trying to be funny.The woman lifted her veil and threw it behind her.It was a middle aged woman in her late thirties. She looked faint and her face was covered in fear.The Mage stood up with his mouth wide opened."Is this a dream?" he moaned."What is this trick all about?" Alpha Jones questioned David. He was also astounded."Who is that?" Sophie whispered to A
Sophie was confused in her mind. Especially about her newly discovered power."And what are they, goddess?" she asked sarcastically."You will feel relieved. All these burden gathering on your mind. You will get rid of them before they fester" she said with a sober face."Thank you, ma'am. You are right. I need friends but you are none of them" she flashed her eyebrows. She walked backward, away from her."Don't make the same mistake I made" Tonia warned."You made a choice not a mistake. I will also make a choice" Sophie rectified."When I first got my powers. I felt like I am above everyone. That's how it started. Then I started making decisions, bad ones. Upping my game, I set goals that are harder than the one I already achieved. Having a friend that I respect back then would have saved a lot of lives" she shook her head remorsefully."Tonia! Get this right. You and I are nothing alike. I was raised in a place where all I was taught was cruelty, but I came out to be kind. You were
"Let's go" Alpha Jones stood up and headed out.Maria followed him with a face full of questions."I have a better idea. Since you can't remember anything about when you are dead and couldn't say anything about how you die. I think this will work fine" Alpha Jones said to her as they diverted to the basement."In the basement? Just tell me you want to lock me up. Don't go cunny about it" she scoffed."Yes. This has a lot to do about being locked up" he stopped in front of Tonia's cell and hit the bar gate.Tonia came forward."Alpha Jones!" Tonia sighed weakly, she turned to Maria. "Why does it feel like I have met you before?" she asked her."Because we have, my baby. You still have the same face like always" she moaned emotionally."And you are?" Tonia asked again. She stared dead in her eyes."I'm your mother" she replied sharply."What's this supposed to be? A final step to rehabilitate me?" Tonia asked Alpha Jones. She clearly didn't believe Maria."I am your mother" Maria repeat
David came into the throne room to meet Alpha Jones. He was looking around to check if they had company."Is there any problem?" Alpha Jones was getting worked up."Nothing, just want to confirm if we are alone" he sighed."We are, brother" Alpha Jones assured him. "What do you want to talk about?" he was eager to know."About dead people coming back to life. Maria" he moaned."Did you notice anything?" Alpha Jones was already clueless on the issue. He didn't know what to think or what to decide."No. But I heard some stories. From some guards. And I think it will be useful to us" David revealed."Some guards. Guards drink, and like kids they love bedtime stories" Alpha Jones chuckled."This is not bedtime stories, Alpha Jones. The guard is a living witness" David murmured."Okay. He can come in. I'm ready to hear his story" Alpha Jones bellowed. He was waiting for the 'storyteller' to come in."He is not here. He only told me the story after I promised not to reveal his identity. But
Alpha Jones ran ahead of the guards into the woods. He thought he saw a figure of someone but he was wrong. There was no one.He turned back and waved at the guards to join him.The three guards hurried to his side."I'm sure they are in here, somewhere. We are going to comb through every nooks and crannies" he was breathing heavily.He wasn't sure what to do about the Mage yet. He couldn't blame him though. He would also react the same way but Maria must be sent back to the dead where she belonged.The guards scattered around, searching the woods.Maria walked towards Alpha Jones with an awkward smile on her face."Maria?" Alpha Jones wanted to confirm."Nemesis!!" Maria laughed. "This is not going to be hard except you make it hard" she sighed weakly."You, Alpha Nolan. A coward move from a coward" Alpha Jones berated him. "If I want to talk to anyone, I go there and face them" he shook his head."I'm a coward, I agree" she nodded to admit. "But cowards live long in case you don't k
Some strange men with partly decayed body started walking towards them from all direction.They were moving slowly.Maria turned around looking at them."I know them. I know them" she panted. "I have seen all the faces before" she breathed heavily."Who are they?" Alpha Jones asked hastily."I used to see them getting killed by Alpha Nolan in my sleep" she let out."That's them" the Mage coughed out. "The ones killed to keep you alive" he deduced.They kept approaching them slowly."Yes, I understand they were killed because of you. So why are they coming at us now?" Tonia was freaking out."I think they want the Mage, he is supposed to be one of them" Maria scoffed. "We have to take him to safety" she declared. She started thinking hard to find a way to discard them.The decayed men hesitated. They shook their head at once and started running towards them."We have no choice, than to fight them" Alpha Jones made a stance in wait for them."Can someone tell me how we are going to kill
"I'm sorry, I couldn't believe you" Tonia held Maria's hand and apologized. "I have become paranoid after I lost my power and I thought you were just another demon sent to get the stone" she gasped."You don't need to be" Maria consoled her. "It happens that I am the demon like you thought" she chuckled."No, you're not. You are my mother" she hugged her and sobbed."My daughter. Seeing you makes me happier than you can ever imagine" she sobbed with her. "Now I have no regrets dying. I have you here" she wiped her tears.Tonia pulled away and looked down like she was ashamed."I am not good as you expected me to be. I have done a lot of horrible things, killed a lot of people. I do not deserve to be alive" she said remorsefully."It's okay. We all make mistakes. And once the deed is done, the best way to amend is to realize your mistakes and turn a new leaf. You are doing well, accepting your flaws" she consoled her and wiped the tears in her eyes.The Mage took some paces away from t
