“Merlin… Merlin is….dead” she stuttered in tears, and Samara’s eyes widened.
“What! What did you…
“He’s gone” Peony cried again, and Samara rushed out of the room with her.
Orion remained standing by the door, looking blank as Sheila appeared.
“What are you gonna do?” She asked.
“No idea, i promised to face the consequences before turning her, and I’m gonna do just that” he replied.
“You’re not the one facing the consequences literally, Samara carries the burden. Merlin is dead and she’s gonna h@të herself for it. Let’s hope she won’t h@të you too in the future, things will change” she said.
“I know, I can handle it, Sheila” he replied, walking out.
*
ICE CAVE*
Samara and Peony came in together, but before they could even get to Merlin’s bed, Echo grabbed Samara by the neck, her eyes radiating bright yellow.
“Echo!” Peony shouted.
“You killed him! You killed Merlin!!! I only just confessed how I truly feel for him! He’s just a poor son of farmers whose parents abandoned! What has he ever done to you!!!” Echo cried.
Samara wasn’t even trying to release herself, instead she’s crying as Echo’s hold on her neck got tighter.
Her anger is trying to come in even when she’s not calling it, but she’s trying her best to fight it cos is it shows up no, Echo won’t survive it.
“Echo stop!” Peony shouted again, but she kept it up.
“How could you!!!” She yelled, and then Orion entered the cave.
A wave of his hand made Echo stagger away from Samara, and Samara fell on the ground, crying as she looked up at Merlin’s unconscious body on the bed.
“Just know that from now on Samara, we will be enemies forever!” Echo spat and ran out in tears.
“Merlin!” Samara cried loudly, and Peony squatted beside her, comforting her.
Samara’s tears began dropping on the ground, slow and steady.
At the seventh drop, the glow appeared in her eyes again, and she let out a huge scream as a bright light from her carried the disciples around away.
Self-anger kicked in massively. The anger and hatred she’s feeling at herself right now worsened the situation, and the walls started breaking in the cave, roof cracked.
“Out! Everyone! Out!” Orion yelled, and the disciples rushed out.
Some of them carried Merlin’s busy, leaving just the two of them inside the cave.
“Mara, you’ll hurt yourself” he said, and she laughed it out, hardening her bones as she began bleeding from the nose.
“Mara!” He yelled, bleeding from the nose too as pains got a hold of him.
“Argghhhhh!!! Mara!!” He screamed, and she closed her eyes as the powers tortured her.
“Arghh!!” She cried out, blood escaping her eyes instead of tears.
Orion started shedding blood too, and despite the pains, she didn’t stop
“AHHHH!!!!!” Another scream came out of her, and she tumbled, landing on a rock which wounded her head.
Orion’s head began bleeding too, and they both started getting weak…
Strange noises, cold air, heavy wind… everything entered the cave at once, and Orion managed to look up despite the hellish pains.
He saw a rock falling from the roof to where Samara is standing, and she’s not even trying to dodge.
He whizzed to her and grabbed her away, folding her arms in front of her as she held her from behind.
They landed on the groud together, and the rock came crashing on the ice bed, shattering ice across the cave.
Samara’s eyes stopped the glow, and she calmed down in his arms, passing out.
Orion hugged her body, spitting out blood.
“I’m gonna fix everything, I promise”
*
SULLIVAN, SAME NIGHT~ROYAL PALACE*
“Welcome back! Your highness!” The guards by the palace gate bowed completely when Agatha and Krishna arrived.
“Whoa, royal blood is sure gold” Raven smiled, and Ruthie faked a smile.
They were led into the inner palace, and the greetings were endless as they kept encountering maids and palace stewards, more guards and eunuchs.
They got to the king’s hall and met King Depp waiting outside with his mistresses surrounding him.
“Welcome home, son” he smiled, and Krishna rolled eyes, hating the sight of his women completely.
“I didn’t come home for you, goodnight” he said and went the other way.
Raven followed him, then many guards and maids.
“He hasn’t changed, still as insolent” King Depp laughed crookedly, pulling his beard stylishly before looking at Ruthie.
A glint appeared in his eyes immediately, and Agatha quickly covered her.
“Father, I’ll retire for the night now. The journey was a bit tedious” she said.
“Sleep tight, princess. We’ll have a talk in the morning” he smiled, and she gave him a hug before leaving with Ruthie.
After two minutes walk, they finally arrived at her chamber, and the maids at the door kept their heads down till they entered.
“How is my room?” She asked, facing Ruthie.
“Why did his Majesty stare at me that way earlier?” Ruthie asked, and Agatha sighed.
“My father loves women, and you’re pretty” she said.
“What!” Ruthie gasped, and Agatha laughed.
“Don’t panic, I’ll tell him you’re off limits” she said, and Ruthie smiled, looking around the royal-themed wide room.
Crystals, diamonds, gold and silver…. They made up almost everything in the room, so it’s dazzling, and one could see reflections everywhere.
“I envy you” she said.
“Stop it” Agatha laughed.
“It’s true” Ruthie said, and Agatha pouted.
“Why don’t we shower together before dinner?” She pulled her.
“I’ve only showered with Samara all my life” Ruthie replied.
“Then I’ll be number 2” Agatha smiled again, and Ruthie followed her eventually.
*
KRISHNA’S ROOM*
“I feel like going back tommorow morning, the air here is toxic” Krishna complained when he arrived with Raven.
“We both know if you try that, then you won’t last two months before coming back to recharge, so just stay the two full days and save yourself the stress. By the way you better divide all the treasures inside this room into two, I’m taking half whenever we’re going back. I mean… how can your bedstand be diamond? Isn’t it ridiculous even as a royal?” Raven replied, touching the bedstand.
“This costs billions Krishna, bills!” He said.
“I don’t have the energy to handle you tonight. I’ll bath first” Krishna replied, entering the bathroom.
“I’m more interested in food, where’s dinner!” Raven shouted, and maids pushed in a dinner troll.
“This kingdom might not be bad after all” he smiled.
*
KING’S HALL*
Depp sent all his mistresses away immediately he got back, then he sent for his shaman who appeared in an heartbeat.
She settled in front of him, and he smiled, habitually rubbing his beards.
“You said we needed a witch to create a spell for my immortality” he said, and the shaman smiled.
“I can feel the energy. A witch is in this palace”
“She’s a pretty redhead, but too bad she’d be dying after the spell creation, I’d have loved to keep her as a mistress” Depp replied.
*
NEXT MORNING, DELOS~INSTITUTE*
Merlin got buried in the disciples tomb where lost disciples are being buried. He’s the 50th.
Disciples were crying as he was put to rest, and immediately the grave levelled up, Echo fell beside it and cried louder.
“Merlin!!!’
The vein on her forehead stood out as she let it out sorrowfully.
The chiefs and Master Duran are present behind the disciples, watching the sorrow with empty expressions.
“He was my best male disciple” Chief Water smiled sadly.
“Maybe it was finally his time to leave, fate has it’s way of outsmarting everytime” Master Duran replied.
“Meaning you’re going to let Samara go free again? She killed a student!” Chief Feathers snapped.
“It wasn’t her fault. She wouldn’t have hurt another in her right senses. She’s the only pure Hercules supernatural existing, she’s literally innocent, her powers did it” Master Duran replied, and Chief Feathers smirked.
Echo stood from where she squatted at and came to them with
tears on her face.
“Master, chiefs” she went on her knees.
“Please, mete out the right judgement for Samara, she can’t be allowed to roam the Institute again after killing my only friend” she said.
Master Duran gave her a stony look before walking out.
The chiefs followed, and Echo smirked.
Ceres smiled from the middle of the disciples. Maybe she found a new partner.
*
ORION’S ROOM*
Samara’s eyes opened at once, and she sat up, holding her forehead.
It stings, but she forgot about it immediately she remembered what happened in the ice cave.
She came down from the bed and was about to leave the room when Orion blocked her, and she gulped.
“Merlin…is he really…dead?”
“He got buried this morning” he replied, and she dived her hands into her hair.
“I h@të myself, Rion I h@të myself!!” She yelled, and surprisingly, the powers didn’t misbehave as usual.
She took her hands away from her hair and looked at it, then she rushed to the mirror to check her eyes. It didn’t change color.
“What’s happening? I can control it, it’s not misbehaving” she said, rushing back to him.
Orion looked away, and she moved even closer.
“There’s something you’re not telling me, isn’t it?” She demanded, and he kept quiet.
“Tell me” she breathed.
No answer.
“Tell me Orion!” She yelled, the redness in her eyes flashing like she wants.
“Fine! For you to be able to control the powers, a life must be gone” he replied.
“What!”
“Merlin was meant to die from the start” he said.
“What are you..what are you talking about!”
“If you try to control it yourself then you’d lose your life and that is why a life needs to be gone, he’s collateral damage” he replied emotionlessly, and she slapped him hard across the face.
Her eyes was glossing red, and his own too.
“He was my friend, how dare you refer to him as collateral damage! He was the most harmless disciple in this Institute!”
“But he’s dead now, and it’s no one’s fault! He was fated to die by your hands!” He replied flatly.
“You’re a monster, Master Duran was right… you’re a beast and a devil! You’re worse!” She spat.
“Yes, I’m Lucifer plus 99 other devilish personalities, you knew it from the start. I’ll never change” he said, and she stormed out of the room.
Orion sped to the wall and punched it hard, leaving a deep dent as his fist bridged in.
“I’m a monster, nice name” he smirked.
*
SULLIVAN, 9TH HOUR*
Krishna left the palace for a town tour with the others, and they’re currently in the market square.
“Seriously there are too many pretty girls here” Raven said.
“And why do you keep saying that? I bet you’re tired of Peony” Agatha faced him.
“Never, she’s my life” he replied.
“Wow! So romantic” Krishna said, and Agatha laughed.
They branched by a snacks shop to buy some, and Krishna stepped back.
“Where to?” Raven asked.
“I’ll be right back” he replied, walking away.
Ruthie kept looking back at him.
The buns is still inside the hot oil, so they have to wait till its done.
While waiting, a man dragged a young boy into the shop together with a lot of people.
The boy was pleading for mercy and saying sorry for stepping on the man mistakenly, but the man wasn’t ready to listen.
He carried the pan of oil on fire and poured it all on the boy, then he threw a stick of fire on him.
The boy started burning, and the people around cheered, watching him like an opera.
“They did this to him cos he stepped on someone mistakenly?” Raven said, unable to close his mouth.
“Everyone is a devil here” Agatha faced him, but then she noticed Ruthie is missing.
“Where’s Ruthie?” She asked, and they both started looking around.
Agares is on a staircase in the middle of the town, watching Agatha from there.
He actually followed them here from Delos.
Samira gave her there days to do the capture, so he must get her tommorow unfailingly.
*
SULLIVAN RIVER*
Krishna was smiling as he climbed the rocky part beside the river, and she brought out the whistle Mali gave him.
He blew it loudly, and Mali immediately appeared on the surface, smiling as she swam to him.
“You’re really here” he said.
“Told you I’m in every river” she smiled, bringing out Ruthie’s grimoire.
“I found it” she said, handing it to him.
Krishna took it from her and dropped it on the rock before facing her again
“Come in” she gave him an hand.
He took it slowly, and she pulled him in.
The pull jerked him forward, and their lips accidentally met when he landed in the water.
Her eyes widened, but instead of breaking it, he began kissing her like that, and her tail moved underwater as she reciprocated.
Meanwhile, Ruthie was watching from a safe distance.
She actually trailed him here from town.
She was unaware of when the tears fell out her eyes as she squatted hurtfully.
*
INSTITUTE, PRESTIGE HALL*
It’s the 19th hour when Aragon sneaked to the door.
He peeped in and saw Master Duran meditating in his open room, sitting in a relaxed position.
He finished learning the Eye-Blocking Technique some hours ago, and now is the perfect time to enter the Territory.
He braced himself before going in, and till he got to Master Duran, he didn’t open his eyes.
He sat in front of him, and immediately Master Duran opened his eyes, Aragon snapped his fingers.
He whispered some incantations, and Master Duran’s eyes rolled up.
Aragon stood and snapped his fingers again
Beastly Territory key landed on his palm, and the door appeared in front of him.
He opened up without wasting time at stepped in.
The door disappeared, and Master Duran smirked as his eyes became normal.
“Foolish” he uttered.
*
MOJO FOREST*
Martha got slaughtered already, and her blood is already running round the circle surrounding the tree
Chief Feathers dropped the bloody big knife on the platter and smiled, standing straight.
Chief Water sighed behind her.
“Now is the time, after this I’m going to be the one to punish Samara for everything she did. I’ll change the legend and take over” she said, raising her two hands to the sky.
“On a moonless night”
“Forest Mojo”
“Under this leafless tree…”
“I bring forth the sacrifice of ease”
“Open the door for this immortal”
“Open! Open!! Open!!!”
She read the incantations, and a loud thunder sounded in the sky immediately, accompanied by a scary storm and incessant lightning.
She smiled wider as the storm got madder, and the lightening came again.
Several trees in the forest fell heavily…
A single raindrop fell from the dark sky, dropping directly on her forehead, and another thunder sounded.
The leafless tree split into two, opening like a door.
“It’s done!” She smiled again, and Water quickly held the door for her, but immediately she stepped in, a spirit sped out.
Her eyes widened as she turned around to look at who, but then the storm resumed, trying to take the door from Water.
“Don’t let go of the door Water! Don’t let it go!’ she shouted, but it was too strong.
He kept fighting, then the door started closing, dragging him in too.
“AHHHHHHH!!!!” Chief Water screamed as he got pulled in magically.
“No! No!!!” Chief Feathers screamed and tried to run out, but the door closed before she could get there, trapping the two of them inside…. forever.
The spirit welcomed the breath of the living on her skin and in her lungs, and her white hair blew dangerously with the air as her face came to view.
Kira!
“I’m back” she smiled, vanishing into the night.
TBC.
