Adonis stared wide-eyed at the glowing golden orb of fire that had materialized out of Bethany. It was very similar to the golden orb that had destroyed Kalta's deadly blow to him.“What is that?” Adonis asked, surprise evident in him.Bethany stared at him and shrugged, showing her confusion. “To be honest, I don’t know what it is, but it was deadly and powerful the first time it happened. I was so scared to be honest that I hated myself. I guess it was my use of magic that had caused you to use yours. This is why I believe this whole thing is my fault.” She explained.Adonis finally understood why she was insisting this was her fault and honestly, he felt some sort of relief getting the news. Finally, he was not the only one with some sort of magic of his own. Maybe he was not so different and weird after all. Even if he kept her away from him, there was no guarantee that Kalta and his men wouldn't come for her and her magic. The best way he could protect her right now was to keep h
Kalta stormed from one corner of his study to the other. Just how could things get this bad in such a short time? Everything had been perfect. He had reigned in peace for more than eighteen years and all of a sudden, a prophecy he had long forgotten about comes up to ruin his life and his reign."Why?" He yelled and angrily busted the glass tumbler in his hand. The shards of glass scattered around the room like little pieces of diamonds.He could not understand how Adonis had been able to avert the disaster he had prepared for him. He could not believe he had failed despite his preparation.“Well, my fight against Adonis was not completely useless after all. I got to fortify myself with the blood of the Elkanel. I am just as strong, if not stronger than Adonis.” he grinned, but his smile quickly disappeared when he remembered how easily the Espino had neutralized his magic."Whoever this Espino is, he or she is no weakling. The way they had masked their power and infiltrated my kingd
Adonis stared long and hard at the sign hung on the door he was standing in front of. It was so weird and unusual and looked nothing like where he had imagined a sorceress would stay. He knew he was not at the wrong location because he had doubled checked the location he had gotten from the web and his map was telling him he was at the right place. However, this place looked nothing like a sorceress' lair. It was so colorful and vibrant that it could be mistaken for a children's toy shop. “Are you sure we are at the right place?” Bethany asked, clutching tightly to his hand. "My map tells me we are at the right place, but my mind tells me otherwise. No witch lives in a place this colorful, and it is a shop too." He explained, his brows furrowed in confusion. She had noticed his reservations and honestly, she understood why. This can not be where a supposedly powerful witch would want to live. This had got to be a joke and she had no doubt it was one of those pranksters on the inte
Adonis instinctively had his hand cover Bethany as soon as he felt his body go weightless. The light was so bright that he feared that if he opened his eyes even for a second more he would not be able to see again.Instinctively, his hands went out ahead of him and searched for Bethany. He wrapped his hands around her as soon as he felt her body. Just then, the weight on his body returned and they both fell to the floor, crashing hard on a soft rug.“Ouch!” Bethany yelled as soon as she hit the floor.“I am so sorry.” Adonis apologized to her and opened his eyes only by a little fragment, checking to know if it was safe for him to open his eyes.Thankfully, the bright white light had gone and they were surrounded by more natural light. His gaze travelled through a window and he knew it was safe.“It is fine. You can open your eyes now.” Adonis said to Bethany when he noticed that she was still coiled in a fetal position on the floor.Bethany did as he suggested though slowly. When she
Kalta stood in front of the large building Tarada had informed him the child had grown up in. The Orphanage looked pretty basic and there was nothing to show that it was a place that had housed a special child like an Espino.“Well, it is obvious the people here did not know the powers of the child they were taking in on that faithful night.” Kalta chuckled to himself as he walked in through the front gate of the orphanage.He was dressed in a grey matching suit and pants and had on a black hat to go with his aesthetics. He did not need anyone to tell him that he looked good and expensive. He could feel it and from the gaze of everyone who was staring at him, he knew he was probably the next best thing after sliced bread.“Good evening sir. It is way past 6p.m which is when the orphanage closes to outsiders. If you do not mind, can you come back tomorrow?” A security guard that was at the gate said to him.Kalta simply stared at the man standing in front of him and knew that he did no
"Are you trying to tell me that all of my life, I have been lied to?” Bethany asked, not wanting to believe everything that the woman had just told her.She loved her parents and her parents loved her too. There was really no way in hell they could hurt her like this. Her parents would not keep the truth about her origin away from her for so long."Sweetheart, I know you are hurt, but you really have to ask your parents some serious questions. I wish I could help clarify everything for you, but there is just so little I can see about you and it is so frustrating. As I had said earlier, there is a force blocking me from clearly seeing into your life." Elaine explained."Can you tell us more about this force? What it is and what it does do? How often have you seen it and can you quell it so you can see better into her life? " Adonis asked.He hated that they were now put in a very uncomfortable situation and yet, they had been put in a very uncompromising situation.Elaine shook her he
"So, what are you going to do now?" Adonis asked as they got to Bethany's house. He was not very comfortable with her still staying in the same house where she had been attacked.He would have asked that she come over and live with him, but he was so certain that Bethany's parents were never going to agree to that.They were still yet to agree that the attack at the home was more magical than physical. In fact, her parents were still insisting that the cops find the burglars who had knocked them unconscious and hurt their daughter. Unfortunately, there was no way they would be able to find them."I really do not know, but I have to find out if what Elaine had said is true. A part of me is certain she is telling the truth, but I love my parents so much and I do not want to believe they would keep as important as this away from me." She said her gaze on the floor.Adonis hated seeing her look so lost and defeated. The need to protect her overwhelmed him and he felt so guilty for everyth
Elaine stared at Kalta, wondering how to tell him that what he was asking for was almost impossible. There was no way there could be a reincarnated Espino. If there was one, she would know from the peculiarities of the stars from the night the Espino was born. She had seen nothing, felt nothing, and thus, it had to be impossible."Are you certain of what you are saying Lord Kalta? If there was a reincarnated Espino, I would have known about this. You are the first person to mention this." She said, not wanting to believe that it was true. All Espinos were dead and there was no way any one of them could reincarnate so easily without the stars signaling it."Are you trying to call me a liar, Elaine?" He asked staring hard at her.Elaine shook her head rapidly, not wanting to annoy him or give him the idea that she was disrespectful. As much as she did not really care about Kalta, she cared so much about her life.Kalta let out a breath to calm himself and took a seat on the sofa. It was
