I clenched my fists and breathe heavily before I tried to connect to the power again, to be in sync with the vibrations it set off. Moments turned into minutes, minutes into hours, I lose count on times I had landed on my knees heaving and getting up again. I was already down to my lowest energy, coated in sweat as I breathe loudly through my lips. I haven't been that drained out in months, not for any reason instead I had been growing stronger.
My ancestral city, of which makings of my kind thrived. Their magic had been soaked down in those soils they call power city; the Paradlag should be able to activate there faster.
"You need to stop this, she's not strong enough for this" Hunter was growing impatient as he watched me rose to my feet again,
"She is the only being strong enough to reveal the Paradlag" lord Orpheus said, aside of Hunter Cassuis was equally getting agitated although he was silent I could almost read his thoughts
"She is done" Cassuis said breaking down a huge branch on a tree and aiming it at me with all his might, as it came towards me just before he was sent into a flight the branch broke into pieces and rained back at him piercing into his skin. Hunter and Leo dodged out of the way of the sharp wood fragments and all looked to the direction Cassuis flew due to the force generated by the force field.
Using his speed he came around again infuriated by his inability and the situation presenting him as unimaginative. He talked towards Lord Orpheus while he freed himself of the splints of wood in him.
"How do we free her?"
"Until she acquires it" Orpheus voice grew spiteful from their constant plea to have me quit.
"You dare not talk to me in that tone Master Cassuis; I equally know what is at peril" His eyes rose to look at me
"Maybe you need some inspiration" Orpheus stated in his usual calm tone by his vampires speed he reached Hunter who was standing just a few feet away from me. Upon reaching Hunter he placed a hand on his shoulder, inconsiderately and roughly penetrated his chest with his fingers. Hunter just like us unsuspecting the attack coming, he slouched forward for an instant his eyes grew wide at the pain he must have felt before he raised his other hand and tried to blow Orpheus in the face nut he swiftly dodged the blow and went from behind Hunter still with his hand in his chest while he held the wrist that tried to strike him. Cassuis lounged forward but stopped when his master looked towards him his gaze as cold as ice, Leo however jumped forward but Cassuis held him down instead and I still trapped in the force field could only witness the event pain filled and angered. I the choking sound Hunter made while still pulled back by Lord Orpheus he didn't let his gaze fall away from me and his lips were curling up at me but it couldn't hide the pain he was enduring, I started tearing immediately
"Let him go. I will get it for you." I practically begged for him to let Hunter go, I glanced down at the visible Riffles that were just around my shins; they were moving wilder than before. The next second as I look back at them again, I saw the once beating heart resting in his chest was now in Orpheus's fist while his body slowly, agonizingly slowly falls on its knees before he finally fall to his side. His eyes blank, the light in them faded still looking my way.
For a while I couldn't even feel the burden of the protection spell, I stood emotionless, clueless and in denial before I exploded
"No!" I yelled reaching out a hand out of the circle, that instant I felt my skin crack, the sweat once coating every ounce of my body lifted away in sacks like the gravity in the space fell to zero, I also felt weightless. My feet left the ground about an inch or two and the riffled grew a deadly shade of red and golden wrapped it's whole around me, the static flew and every single hair on my stood up. My body shivered to the amount of energy that passed through me brightening every path of blood flow in my system a bright golden color before my necklace still around my neck lifted away from its resting position, floating.
The crystal illuminated, cracked by the force of the field bright crimson light formed out of the cracks and attracted towards me disappearing through my chest bit by bit up to the last bit of it that was exhausted the crystal turned dark and everything broke free. All this happened in a fraction of seconds, all before they realize, the field was down, back on my feet I had never been that fast; but I took note of the first step I took out of the circle; I was different in every way and my feet felt like it would cause a massive earth quake if I stepped any harder.
I charged towards lord Orpheus in a blink of an eye I consumed him whole in rampage and the only thing left was the darken shell of his body before the air blew it away.The magnitude of the power was so high that I wanted more of him to be gone; a hunger spiked inside of me but as soon as my gaze fall on him, the feud inside me and the visible bright riffles calmed to a subtle storm and my mind was back to work again. I just lost another father
I dropped in front of him and tears started to spill out of my eyes, I placed my hand on his cheek and remembered the first time I was introduced to him by Ruby. The day I first hugged him after I learnt he was my father's mate and in Cassuis's mansion the night he put me to sleep; I remembered them all. It didn't just made me hurt but sad and happy; conflicted but I knew one thing, if I could do more to hurt Orpheus soul──I would. I reached my hand onto his shoulders and flipped him on his back, took his heart in my hand before I heard
"Well-done Queen of the Rayleigh" I looked over my shoulder and there I found the owner of such a low pitched voice was a man.
