Chapter 9 - Clones

Jessica flies up to the branch where Ashamoke is. "Okay, I will use a spell that will eradicate the branch so that I won't have to pull you out of it. That way you won't feel pain. And Aeron is going to catch you. Are you ready?" Jessica grabs onto the branch. Ashamoke nods quickly. The branch became golden from where Jessica grabbed it, all the way to the tree bark. Ashamoke fell from the tree and Aeron caught him. She flies down and touches Aeron's shoulder, and it teleports them.

"Babe, we need to go to parties more. This was amazing." Rose said. "I know." Sloan's phone chimed.

'Emua. Head to Dell Sterum.' Zoe texted Sloan. "We have to go guys, code: Emua," Sloan told Hasan and Rose. Sloan and Rose get up and leave the room in a hurry. "Hey, so I have to go." Said Hasan. Vaen smiled. "You can find me in Nympharum." Hasan squints his eyes at him.

"What's your surname?"

"Narma."

Hasan smiles. "See you in Nympharum, rich boy."

"Where is he? Where is Ashamoke?" Zoe asked as she marched into Dell Sterum. He was in a room on a table. Jessica's hand was hovering over Ashamoke's wound and a golden light was coming from her hand. Zoe came into the room worriedly. "Is he okay?" She asked. "Yes. I'm almost done healing him. He should be conscious in a few hours. But we have a bigger problem and the solution to that problem is the knights. Please tell me that they're here." Jessica queried. Rose came in. "We are."

Sylvie looked out of her window, staring at her kingdom. A man then came into her room. "What's is it, Deliandre?" "I've gotten word from the Princess, that they're here. I can evacuate the kingdom into Magicae and have the army on standby right at this moment. If you wish, my Queen." Deliandre imparted. "Yes, please do. Oh, and ready a carriage for four." Sylvie said. "Four, your Highness?" Deliandre inquired. "Yes. You, me, my daughter, and Princess Jessica. I can't leave without my advisor, and I promised King Eris that Jessica would leave with me." Sylvie responded. Deliandre then leaves the room.

Sylvie walks down a dark corridor with no lights. At the end of it, it was a big door. She opened it and walked down another corridor, this time it was the dungeon's corridor. "Saeveryn, you are beyond my reach. I cannot help you for what is to come." Sylvie spoke as Saeveryn was chained to the wall in her cell. "Sister, you are so egocentric. I do not need your help. My help is hours away." Saeveryn smiled. "You are no longer a part of the Astellian monarch." Sylvie gets closer with a face filled with rage. "I should end your life right now. But you are of my blood, and I will not stoop to your level." Sylvie calmed herself. She turned and began to walk away. "I was the one who convinced him to kill Griffin," Saeveryn yelled. Sylvie stopped walking and slowly turned around. "I know, he told me. He and Griffin echo in history and so does that day. Don't give me another reason to kill you."

Ashamoke awakes and quickly sits up. "Dell Sterum… oh, oh, oh, oh!" He said to himself as he remembered what happened. He leaves his bedroom and goes to the meeting room. "I am going to get to that as soon as Ashamoke awakes. We can't do it without him." He heard Jessica say down the corridor. "Well, I'm awake." Ashamoke walked in. He rushes to Zoe's side and kisses her cheek. "Good. Now, we cannot reveal our identities yet so I will cast a cloning spell on all of us and those clones will evacuate with the rest of the kingdom. Our clone will split our magic in half, but we can take a little magic from the clone but not much. Will you guys deal?" Jessica said. They all nod in agreement. "Okay, here we go." She said loudly as her wings appeared. Spheres of yellow light appeared behind each of them. They then form into bodies, clones of all of them. "Go," Jessica told the clones.

Sylvie and Deliandre stand beside each other outside of the carriage. "How is it like in Magicae? Have you ever been there?" Deliandre gushed. "I don't know, I haven't been there in a long time. But just save that wonder for when we see it, together." Sylvie said. Those words put a smile on Deliandre's face. "Mom, we're here." Clone Zoe said as she and Clone Jessica walked towards them. "Let's get going then."

Ashamoke sighed at his friends as they all gathered. "It's time. Let's do this"
