Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Chapter 92 - Isidoros

Howard had taken Ed with him through the vortex to his territory of wizards and witches that was in the north of the forest. It would have taken a day any werewolf to reach there. However, with Howard, Ed reached there within seconds of being sucked in a vortex and then thrown out of it. It was a magic that only the wizards knew. When Ed had been sucked into the vortex for the first time, he had suffered major dizziness. It was because he had to attend his friend Howard's two hundredth birthday celebrations, which was much before Adrianna was born. Ed hated the feeling.

During his first visit to the kingdom of wizards, he was captivated by their world. Secluded in the jungles where no one ever dared to come, it was the most beautiful architecture he had ever seen. Even the humans couldn't create something so beautiful.

There were three levels of houses – third level that was erected on plain earth, second level that was on the hills and first level that floated in the air. All houses in the third level were neatly built and arranged in grids. They housed the witches and wizards that worked on salaries in royal palace like the guards and the servants.

The second level houses were extremely luxurious mansions that were surrounded by huge lawns and waterfalls that flowed from the hills. These housed the business class witches and wizards who often went out to the other worlds. They were very powerful as they also had complete control over all the elixirs that existed in the world.

It was the first level houses, which floated in the air that housed the royals. There were only four palaces in that level. One of them belonged to the Great Wizard, Isidoros, who was the oldest amongst them. He was twelve hundred years old. Other two belonged to the military general and the prime minister. The biggest and the most beautiful palace belonged to their queen who disappeared long back.

There were many who were eying the throne of the queen once she had disappeared but Isidoros had protected it all those years. He had ruled the kingdom with an iron fist. Wise, loyal and very powerful, no one dared to cross paths with Isidoros. He had been waiting for his queen to return. Ever since he had heard of magical occurrences in the human and wolves' territories, he had been regularly sending his people to find out about it but they returned empty handed.

It was only the last time when one of the wizards had seen a tree falling with a lighting jolt from afar near Ed's cottage that Isidoros became interested. He had also come to know about Liam's fight with the neotides and the reason they had attacked him.

Howard lived in the second level. He had been mostly away as he was the dean of the college and wizards' spy in the human world but his family stayed there.

Isidoros had asked Howard to get Ed in their world. Isidoros knew Ed very well because he was the only werewolf who was allowed to get in their kingdom. It was a huge surprise when his informer told him about the magic he saw around Ed's cottage.

Howard had taken Ed to meet Isidoros. When Ed got out of the vortex, he found himself surrounded by five wizards and two witches with their wands pointed towards him. Ed looked at Howard to speak something, as Howard hadn't given him a chance to ask anything but Howard signaled him to stay quiet. Confused, Ed just walked with all of them until they reached huge wooden doors of a hall.

"Anixe Porta," said one of the wizards waving his wand and the large doors opened on their own. As they walked inside the hall, Ed couldn't help noticing the opulence. There were grand chandeliers hanging from the roof and the floor was made of glass. It was as if they were walking in the air. He looked right ahead and saw an old wizard sitting on an oversized chair on a raised platform. Another wizard was standing on the floor near him.

Ed looked at the old wizard and nodded while all other wizards and witches around him bowed to him. All of a sudden Ed found himself forcibly bending forwards. He understood that it was Isidoros who was forcing him using his magic. 

Without wasting time Isidoros commanded, "I heard that there was magic around your cottage Ed. Explain."

Ed became scared. He knew that wizards didn't take it kindly if they saw magic in other worlds especially if they didn't know how that happened. They had killed several people in the past even if they suspected that they practiced magic. It was only Vikra who had eluded them from a long time, but then he was a force to reckon with. 

Ed shook his head and replied innocently, "There was no magic that I know of." He had to shield Adrianna otherwise he was afraid that the next moment they would send wizards to kill her. Poor girl she was about to get married.
