Sophie scurried into the room and sat on the bed. She buried her face in her hands and tried to catch her breath.After some moment, she heaved a long sigh.She needed to find the Mage to start the major purpose why she helped him escape. She must not waste more time after the statement made by Alpha Jones.It seemed Scott's enchantment on him was potent than she thought.But there was a mistake in her plan. It wouldn't be easy to find the Mage. He was not traceable. He gave no clue about where he was headed and she had to find him before the guards.She started storming her brain thinking of possible places where the Mage could be found. He must have gone to a place where he believed Alpha Jones wouldn't think of.First thing, she would need to disguise as someone else before making any contact with him. She dashed over to her wardrobe, to find any clothes that could be useful.She opened the wardrobe and swept the clothes aside to see the innermost part."Oh my..!" she yelled but q
The room was nothing but a mess. Sophie hesitated at the entrance. She had no clue where to face.She thought there would be something like a shelf where all the jars, book of spells and other magical ingredients would be neatly arranged.The Mage's room wasn't like that. It was something else. With everything scattered all over, like the room of someone who left the town in a hurry.She ventured in and kicked through the mess.She finally found the set of jars placed beside each other. They had covers with all the colors present in the world except red, the one she wanted specifically.She folded her arms on her chest and sighed heavily. This is going to be a hard task for her."I should get to work" she stared around the room.She started from where she was standing, checking everything she could lay her hands on.She searched all the corners of the room but there wasn't any jar with a red cover."I think the Mage is suffering from color blindness" she moaned. There were a lot of ja
Sophie walked in and sat down quietly on her seat beside Alpha Jones' throne. She sighed. She was feeling awkward.She put her hand over her dress to feel the vial she hid underneath. "How are you?" she asked awkwardly to reduce her tension."I'm fine" Alpha Jones chuckled and stared at her cluelessly. He had definitely noticed her awkwardness."You are alone here?" she wanted to keep talking to avoid him finding out more."Of course. But my amiable Beta will join me soon" Alpha Jones responded casually.Sophie heaved a long sigh again now with a smiling face. The opportunity was coming and she didn't want to miss it. Missing it would be the beginning of another problem.Scott came in not long after. He smiled broadly as he continued to get near the throne."We have been waiting for you" Alpha Jones happiness was obvious."And here I am, Alpha" Scott opened his arms wide and turned around."And I have good news for you too" Sophie cut in quickly. "About the two boats, the one that is
Sophie opened the wardrobe hastily.The Mage popped out his head as always but Sophie couldn't say anything. She just shook her head."Guess that didn't work?" the Mage moaned sadly."We have just jumped out of the frying pan into fire" Sophie finally sighed."The potion failed to work? I am sure I did everything I have to do. It should work unless he has some countering spells he is using" the Mage whined regretfully. He looked away from Sophie. He was obviously feeling ashamed."It worked" Sophie said and made him surprised. "He is not Scott anymore. He is now Kratos with a Kratos face" she waved her hand cluelessly."So, what is the frying pan and fire you were talking about?" the Mage asked excitedly."His enchantment only became stronger after Jones saw his true scarred face" Sophie shook her head pitifully."That's unbelievable. I thought it was working because he looked like Scott" the Mage let out a long sigh. "It means this is harder than we thought. We need another approach"
Sophie was becoming impatient at the small space in which she fitted herself to hide away from being seen. The darkness of the night was not reliable enough to conceal her identity.It had been long she had been waiting but Class and Rob were yet to show up. She feared they had turned and were making a move against her already."Where is she?" Rob's whispers got into her ears. She came out and met the two of them."What kept you so long?" she questioned angrily."You told us we should keep this a secret" Class stared at Rob for his support."We have to make sure no one knows we are coming to you" Rob supplemented.Sophie was excited to hear that. She felt she could rely on them."That's good. Are you up to the task?" she asked sternly."There was enough wrath in me to cook him already. He doesn't stand a chance against me" Class showed her his sword."Honestly, I hate looking at his face. It is disgusting" Rob made a horrible face. "I'm going to kill him brutally in a way you will li
Sophie turned around slowly. She was now at his mercy."You want to kill me?" Kratos chuckled. "After what you saw? Didn't you see how I killed your men?" he taunted her."I will kill you" Sophie had summoned up her courage. "You do not belong here" she snarled at him."That is the mistake all of you keep making. You want to kill me. I can't die, I am the Wolfing Death. I kill all those who struck me death blows" he proclaimed fearlessly."There's no one that can't die" she asserted. She didn't believe him"Yes, you are right. I can be killed. But there is only one man that can kill me. The one who made me" he let out.Sophie moved back swiftly. She wielded the sword and push it through his mouth until it came out behind his neck.Kratos signaled to her with his hand. He was trying to tell her to pull out the sword. He finally fell down holding the sword with both hands.Sophie heaved a sigh of relief.Kratos grabbed the sword and pulled it out of his mouth."I told you, you can't kil
"What are you doing here so early?" Alpha Jones was surprised to meet Kratos in the throne room already.Coming in early was unusual of him."I have been taking things too slow" Kratos scoffed. He led Alpha Jones to his throne. "I need to get straight to my point of being here" he disclosed.Alpha Jones was confused but he kept calm to hear him out."This Manor has remained undefeated for years. That only happens when you have a secret no one knows about" Kratos said, he looked around the throne room like he was searching for something."Of course, every Manor keeps secrets. Their strengths and weaknesses should remain secret" Alpha Jones chuckled."That is what I want to know" Kratos replied quickly."You want to know our secrets?" Alpha Jones felt skeptical. That wasn't necessary in any way."Yes, I want to know our secrets" he put emphasis on the possessive pronoun."Okay" Alpha Jones didn't want to divulge the secrets to him. He believed what is hidden should remain hidden. But a
Sophie sobbed weakly and leaned against the wardrobe."He can't die?" the Mage asked in amazement."He said he is the Wolfing Death, that is what he called himself" she tried to remember in details."Wolfing Death?" the Mage repeated. He started laughing. "That's very simple" he announced.Sophie was confused. It seemed the Mage didn't know what that meant or he had never experienced it before."Simple?" she shook her head. "We killed him more than ten times and he would just stand up like nothing happened to him. The only reason I'm still alive is because he said I'm his prize whenever he wins this Manor for Alpha Nolan" she explained."That's because you can not kill a Wolfing Death" the Mage chuckled."He said the only one that can kill him is the one who made him, which is Alpha Nolan" she recollected."There is someone else not far from you,in here" the Mage leaned towards her and whispered.Sophie looked around. She stared into the Mage's eyes and asked. "Is that you?" she would
