Chapter 197 - The Warzone Part 1
Comparing to the dangerous things that were going to happen inside Moonshine, the city was in more chaos and dangerous state. Enchantress finally picked up the best opportunity to attack Aaron when things were at pinnacle in his life. He was mentally heartbroken and physically weak. Enchantress did really know that how to attack at anyone's weak spot. All thanks to Zave who had provided her enough informations all the while thus it was more easier for her to excute a perfect plan.
Since her coming up from the water side, she had spent all her times performing witch crafts and made illusional guards to fight from her side. She didn't care whether she could win in this fight or not but the only thing mattered to her was Aaron's leftover soulpowers and his death. She always felt that only after killing Aaron, her avenge over Richards family would be full filled. After all, a witch can forget about her own life but not avenge.
Meanwhile, Aaron,Jasper and the councilmen all had reached over the border of Silver city where an unknown number of ghost souls were haunting over the area. No matter how many troops stepped ahead to destroy them, they vanished away almost instantly.
The sky over the silver city had turned gloomy with darkness as if an aura of evilness had already started spreading in this world. Aaron who was emotionally disturbed had been watching over the ghost souls standings far away from the fight that was occuring a few steps away from them.
He knew that Esme was in danger but if Enchantress found about their unborn child, she would be in more grave danger. Furthermore he believed that Esme had her own capabilities to protect their children. Even if he died here, he could be in peace thinking that his beloved people were safe and sound.
The councilmen wait for his command as they quickly proceeded forward to fight against the ghost souls who appeared nothing but like a shadow.
Who ever thought that this shadows could possess such enormous powers?
Jasper stood by Aaron's side and kept observing over their surrounding cautiously. After stabling his state of mind, Aaron finally opened his mouth,
" Where is Enchantress?"
Jasper shook his head unknowingly and answered while swiping his eyes across the place,
" We have no idea,My Lord. She only has sent her troops but doesn't appear in front of us. It is getting impossible to break off her witch crafts. You know that she has been practicing witch magics since decades. Now you have lost half of your soul powers, I..I really think that you should go back to the castle and look after Lady Esme."
Aaron shook his head denying and answered while glaring hard at those fighting shadows,
" No, I can't leave my own people to die here. Nevertheless Enchantress will come to look for me if I don't go to her personally. I am the reason behind this chaos, Jasper. Let her satisfy her thirst of killing me. You..you just need to make sure after I die that Esme will go back to her world safely, do you understand?"
Jasper gasped softly, his gaze turned pale and for a moment, he was out of his words. Swallowing down, he whispered painfully looking at the man who was ready to sacrifice himself for the sake of his people,
" My..my.. Lord.. At least think about your children. They will need you by their side in the future. How can you think of giving your life so easily? "
Aaron sighed, his gaze still searched for Enchantress as he whispered with a bitter smile,
" But their mother won't need me. Help me looking for Enchantress fast, Jasper. I don't want her to appear in my castle."
Jasper pursued his lips to say something but at the end, he had to sawlloe back his words after looking at his determined expression. Turning around, he started wandering over the corners to look for the witch who might be enjoying their misery hiding at a corner.
_SALAVITA MOUNTAIN_
This discerned mountain was elected as the final warzone for the heirs. Located at the middle of ocean, the mountain had its own magical forces but no one could be seen through it easily. The waves from ocean occasionally bounced against its edge that made the entire mountain looking like a beautiful paranoma.
Except this natural beauties, the mountain today looked oddly terrifying as the clouds over them were particularly black and blue. Under the gloominess of clouds, Ethan and Ester stood side by side and waited for the king to arrive patiently.
Although Ester seemed impatient but his lips never forgot to give the mischievous glint that was circulating inside his mind. Even Ethan also noticed his mischievous grin few times and wondered what was he hiding in his sleeves.
Just when the two were immersed in his thoughts, loud snarlings of animal started coming out from the dark clouds. The wind suddenly turned wild as the waves started brushing against its edge more vigorously.
Ethan and Ester quickly lowered their heads down and bent down a little in order to show him respect. After another round of snarling echoed in the air, a dragon finally landed down in front of them followed by two dragons who trailed him off closely.
The dragon in lead snarled once more before shifting into his human form instantly. His dark eyes shifted between Ester and Ethan who kept hanging their hands down. Oscar's eyes darkened dangerously when it fell on Ester who was feeling bothered to keep his head down.
Why must he bow? He was also a prince!
Ester wandered before gritting his teeth hard secretly. Obviously the renowned dragon king, Arnaldo Oscar Dixon had the capabilities of looking through his infuriated emotions.
Oscar smirked at Ester cunningly and spoke while stepping near them,
" Heads up, Princes."
They nodded before lifting their heads up to see the magnificent man standing opposite of their side. At the very first sight, Ethan had devolped a great admiration towards this king who had the majestic aura of making anyone's bowing down their head in a moment.
Ethan spoke politely,
" Welcome to Salavita, your majesty."
Oscar hummed seeming pleased with his polite manner but it infuriated Ester more. Like a stubborn brat, Ester added with mystery,
" I hope, king Oscar is spending good days in Marriott with her wife without any troubles. I heard from my subordinates that they sense evil presence near Marriott quite often."
As soon as Ester spoke, the air inside them dropped drastically. The two sitting dragons behind Oscar also snarled at Ester threateningly who stumbled back in fear.
