"Mother Queen, you understand what you are asking me to do?" The old lady witch who was the original immortal Bennett witch stared at the Mother Queen of Serpents as she asked. There was a faint light flashing inside her eyes which proved she was someone who had attained immortality. There was a ring which she was wearing on her left hand which would glow whenever she would be doing her spells.
Sighing softly, Mother Queen nodded her head slightly and replied.
"Yes, I don't think there is any other choice left with us." When the head witch heard the reply of Mother Queen, she frowned. It was a very risky decision which they were going to take right now. Once the spell around Sylia to block her powers would be terminated, then the latter would have her powers in her hands and she could do anything with it. Nobody would be able to stop her.
There was a long silence between the two of them. Mother Queen looked at the ball in her hands and her eyes turned dark when she recalled the reason they had blocked Sylia's powers. If there would have been another choice left then she would have never ever have chosen to terminate the blocking spell.
All of a sudden the head witch asked,
"Will you be able to give up on the powers?"
Mother queen remained silent for a long time. It was a big gamble she was going to take. For the locating spell to work, there should be powers emerging from two souls. Even if the head witch would try alone, the locating spell would work but it would make her body weak. So weak, that it would require her a cultivation period of at least seven years.
But if Mother Queen shares some of her powers then there won't be any issues with the head witch's health, however, as it is said whenever a strong spell is used, there has to be certain consequences.
Biting her lips, Mother Queen broke the silence as she agreed and answered.
"Yes, I will."
"Alright then let's start."
The head witch extended her hands and clasped them with the Mother Queen's. Closing her eyes the head witch started spelling some spells as the grimoire below their hands opened, flipping through every page until it stopped at one.
When there were no flipping sounds of the pages, both of them opened their eyes. The head witch took a small knife beside her and she made a small cut on the palm of Mother Queen's right hand and made a cut on her hand as well but on the left palm. Joining both the hands, the head witch kept a small pallet or a crucible below their hands while she held it with her right hand.
With loud and high pitch sound she started with her spells once again and interlocked their hands more tightly. As soon as the sound of the voice started to increase, there was a sudden force which was trying to open their interlocked hands. The result of the spell completely depended on their will power to hold and fight with the force. The longer they would be able to, the longer they would share their powers.
Quite a few minutes passed but the blood did not seeped out from their interlocked fingers. The witch knitted her brows and started to spell more difficult spells. This spell was among the most powerful ones and being the most powerful spell it would take a lot of powers from the person who was spelling it.
Since the old witch was one who had completed her cultivation and was the merging witch, the powerful spell did not make her much affected. However, Mother Queen who had never been used to with such a force, her nose started to bleed. The latter turned anxious on looking at the droplet which had fallen on her white skirt leaving a stain.
"Head Witch… this… there is a blood stain. Oh my! My nose is bleeding… Stop it! Make it stop."
Despite the Mother Queen's words, the head witch did not open her eyes nor did she stop with her spells. In fact her spell became more and more powerful. It seems that soon they will be getting their results. With each powerful stroke, the spell showed more vigorous effects on Mother Queen's body.
"Head witch, make it stop!" There were strong winds that were blowing around them and the grip with which their hands were interlocked started to tighten. Mother Queen tried multiple times to break through it, but there was no use. Mother Queen had already became quite weak that there seemed to be no power left in her.
No matter how much the mother queen shouted or yelled, there were no effects on the old witch.
All of a sudden, the strong gust of winds stopped. Mother Queen was breathing heavily and she was almost about to jump at the sudden halting of the winds, afraid what was else coming. But soon her eyes travelled to the interlocked hands from where she could faintly see a drop of blood seeping out!
