Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Chapter 369 - Battle Between Wizards And Neotides (20)

When Adrianna saw the fire burning in front of her, she retracted a little in order to run back, but she noticed that the fire quickly formed a circle around her. She hated it. She wanted to leap out of it but every time she tried to leap out of it, the fire would become intense on that side and she had to withdraw. She tried to jump out of it from different directions but she couldn't. Vikra made sure that she was trapped inside properly. 

Adrianna would look at the moon and howl as if calling it to help her, to douse the fire for her but it was all in vain. It just shone brilliantly in the sky without a care in the world. Perhaps it wasn't even aware of her agony.

Vikra realized that she needed the moon and the fire was restricting her. He smiled and hissed, "Adrianna finally we meet."

Now he had to find a way to quickly trap her in a cage and transport her to his cave. He was now least interested in breaching the wall of the Wizard Kingdom. He looked at his Generals and hissed, "Tell all the neotides to retract immediately. They should reach our territory as soon as possible." Once he would transport her to his cave, he would need a lot of security to contain her. She was an extremely powerful beast who had killed numerous neotides like they were toys. 

Vikra looked at the moon and estimated that not even an hour was left for it to set. Quickly he formed a strategy. He looked at Adrianna and saw her leaping around the fire, growling and wincing at every flame that leapt towards her. She looked pitiable. He had to make her jump towards safety but how to do that.

Meanwhile in the Wizard Kingdom, Isidorus and Mihr were surprised as to how come Vikra had stopped casting spells. They couldn't understand what was going on outside. The wall had become very weak and if Vikra had continued for the next half an hour, it would have broken. They thought that perhaps he had become tired. However, they ruled out that theory because he had an indomitable spirit. They sent a few Mozias on the outside to see what was going on. The Mozias returned with an even strange information. "The neotides are leaving." 

"What?" asked Isidorus with amazement. "What about Vikra?"

"He isn't there. It seems he had left the place long ago," replied one of them. 

Mihr couldn't believe his ears. So he also went outside the wall to check it and found the information to be true. He could see that the neotides were leaving en masse. He went back and confirmed the situation to Isidorus. 

"If that is the case, let us start rebuilding the wall," said Isidorus. "Who know that he may just come back?" 

Isidorus looked at the sky and it was about time for the moon to set and the dawn to break. Adrianna was about to come back. He had to hold the citadel for her. He had to give this news to her. Although he didn't know why did Vikra leave all of a sudden, he felt happy. 

With new energy and vigor all of them started rebuilding the wall.

Vikra was watching Adrianna's movements. He knew what he had to do. 

Adrianna was getting afraid by the minute. She wanted to get out of the circle of fire. She tried to go out of it, but the fire would inhibit her. 

Suddenly Vikra thought of a technique to transport her. 

This time when Adrianna leapt to get out of the fire, the fire in that area wiped out and she directly jumped through a portal and found herself inside a dark cave. 

Vikra followed her through the portal into the cave. 

Adrianna couldn't see properly inside the cave because it was too dark. She turned around in frenzy to find a way out but there was none. Her eyes searched for the moonbeams. They were coming inside that dark cave but she couldn't find the source. She looked around and found that the rays were coming from somewhere very high. So she jumped in the air to reach that place but it was too high and she couldn't. Where was she trapped?

She growled menacingly but her growls echoed. 

Vikra had successfully trapped Adrianna. He could see her in the dark, running around the cave to find an exit but she couldn't see him. 

Now all he had to do was to turn that place for her into eternal full moon night. He held his wand out and with one soft move of his hand, he swished in chanting, "Luna noctem." The cave's wall started shining with moon's rays. 

Adrianna immediately stopped running around and stood at one place. The rays soothed her. She looked at the source of the rays and saw the moon very high up. Feeling calm, she jumped on her hind legs and greeted the moon by a loud howl. 

Vikra started laughing at her. All this while he had been finding a way to trap her. He had his eyes set of this baby ever since she was born. However, at the time the moon goddess had come to save her. How come she didn't come now? He couldn't believe his luck that how in a short period of time he had captured Adrianna. 

For her he would sacrifice hundreds of Reese. 

Adrianna looked at the creature that was flying above her. She hated it for disturbing her peace so she got up to attack it, but the moment she jumped on it, the creature disappeared. Satisfied that she had scared the creature, she sniffed around a little and found a place to sit and sleep. She was tired and soon she slept. 

On the outside, Vikra was celebrating his victory. He had commanded a huge force to only surround the cave. 

Dmitri didn't know where she was. He couldn't find her. All he saw was that the neotides were retreating.
