Axel met with violet right outside her door, it's time for the spells he spoke with so much authority in his voice.
Lead the way to the cave Axel, violet replied.
They both walked the halls down to the secret passage that leads directly inside the cave from the palace.
I believe you have everything needed for this spell as I don't have much time to waste, I want kora back here in no time. The people are becoming too hard to handle and the supernaturals are stealing the humans like a thief stealing animals from the richest farmer in the land. We can't allow this continue otherwise this land won't have any value to you or me in no time.
What do you think should be done about this?
This matter is actually concerning, said violet. But I can't do anything to the barrier, it was built by a goddess, even if I sap all the life from all humans in this realm, I will never wield such power. But, I can create another barrier in form of a curse. Any supernatural that is not my sister or brother that crosses over will be dead in two days. This way, the can't make it out alive and when the die the humans will be free to go.
That is brilliant violet, that way we can protect the humans but still have them when we want. The people lost so much hope in mother earth and with it their morales, this way the might think that the goddess is finally here to deliver them from the hands of evil. Am glad we are working together, let us hope we can trust each other, for the sake of the same benefit we are after.
They finally got to the cave entrance and just like before, Axel bled his hands and let the blood drop on the wall which opens up the entrance of the cave. They both got in and while Axel sat leisurely on the only chair available, violet began to prepare the necessary items for the spell.
It is ready, shall we begin? Violet asked to Axel once done.
Agreement is agreement, axel replied and walked towards her.
They both held out their hands and with a single enchanted knife that had a red ruby on it slith, a sharp pointed tips and round it with a long intestine on the handle, Axel cut himself with no winces of pain but a plain cold face and let the blood drip into a wooden bowl.
Violet did the same, after which she picked up the bowl and stair while reciting a dark spell repeatedly.
"Blood as water, tied in a knot"
"Bind this two souls, never to depart"
The blood mixed and with the spell it began to rise in the air and formed a rope. With the spell being repeated Axel and violet held each others hand and so the rope tied a knot round their hands which after the rope began to burn by an invisible flames into the air in a form of red smoke.
Now that you have my assurance and protection, I hope you deserve it as our work together will bring about the rise of a new dawn. This will be our land in no time, Axel said smiling maniacally.
All the while, the palace guard was observing everything with his mouth and eyes wide open. He heard and saw everything and need not be told that the king had a fair knowledge of how the supernaturals crossed over to the human realm, and the woman?
She sure is a supernatural, a witch he thought to himself.
What have I gotten myself into and where the hell is Sophie, he fell to his knees, weak and powerless, he whimper and his breaths shivers but no tears or scream came out his eyes and mouth.
After the spell, axel introduced violet properly to the hidden cave and gave her permission to use the cave for whatever work of magic was assigned to her by him.
And what do we do with him? Violet asked pointing at the guard who looked lost and insane. Axel scoffed and said, he is one of the vessels, make sure to convince him that what we are about to do is for the good of the people and the kingdom as the magic needs willing hosts. Axel kept talking as he was on his way out of the cave. Mean while, I have a reputation to uphold, and a kingdom to run so, I will leave this in your capable hands.
He walked into the hallway and back to his quarters, now that he has the witch to do what he wants, he is sure that within the next moon, the princess kora will be back and he will get over this stress once and for all. To congratulate himself for a successful step towards a promising future, he has decided to visit one of his favorite rod house and drink to his little accomplishment.
What he didn't know is that with the knot being tied, the dark witch can manipulate and gain access to his memory, he was like an open book to violet and she didn't waste not a second longer to look into his past when he walked out of the cave. The good thing is that the manipulation can be done vise versa if only axel can do the magic.
Axel walked into the rod house in the body of a traveller and ordered the next round of mug to be served to everyone in the house, they all cheered him and drank to him.
As usual, all the whores run to him and began doing their work, the best gets favored and earns extra money.
He was ushered into the best room with many girls, all young and not older than eighteen. With their breasts bare and only a piece of clothing to cover their private part but the cloth didn't do much with their back side.
Axel closed his eyes to live in the moment but he was supprised when he saw the village, the orphanage and Molly standing right next to him just like when they were young.
