Chapter 496 - The Mirror

When Daryn reached the chamber where Bianca was, he saw that she was stepping towards his mother. And his mother—she reminded him of gothic horror. She looked so horrible. Her eyes shone as she looked at Bianca. And he knew that she was lusting for her granddaughter's soul because only her soul would merge with her body. It was a blood call.

He had always wondered as to why she never ever attempted to kill Bianca and today when he saw Bianca going towards her, he knew the reason. She must have known, or had wished that she could get his daughter's soul. For the first time, he felt like peeling the neck of Sedora from her body. The woman was beyond redemption. "Bianca!" he shouted, breaking his mother's trance.

Sedora's head whipped in his direction. She stared at him. "Darynnnn…" she whispered. "You have come finally…" Her eyes shone. "You can't stop this. Let her come to me. Only then I will rule this world. I will make my sons my slaves. This girl belongs to me. She was meant to merge with me. It is me or her…" She looked at Bianca again who was in a trance like state. "Dod? do mene…" she spoke in ancient language and spat blood.

The spirits behind Bianca started shrieking, started protesting. "We trusted you, queen. You can't betray us," they hissed in unison. They crawled around her, they crawled on the walls and up on the ceiling. They tried to distract her. Bianca was merely ten feet away from Sedora, her gaze locked on her.

"Bianca, you have to resist this pull," said Daryn as he walked to her. "You can't be so selfish. Fate of this world and the other world rests upon you. You have to withstand this lure."

Bianca heard her father's call from a distance as if he was trying to say something to her from a deep tunnel.

"Don't listen to anyone Bianca," said Sedora. "You and I are the same…" she hissed. "We were meant to be one!"

"Bianca, she wants to steal your youth and your powers. Please baby, don't hear her."

Sedora looked at Daryn with hatred in her eyes. In order to thwart his attempts at distracting Bianca, she threw a beam of strong blue light at him. He leaps up in the air just in time to avoid it, but the beam hit the spirits on the walls behind him. They shrieked as they burnt. Sedora looked back at Bianca. She lifted her finger and beckoned her again. Bianca had to come to her voluntarily. Only then her body would accept her soul. At the same time Seodra wanted her to be as far away from the spirits as possible, so she backed a little more, towards the mirror. "Dod? do mene…" she hissed. "Once you join me, I am going to make you the queen of Aztec. I will kill Brantley for you and get his dragon to be your slave! I will kill Dawn and get her dragon to serve us. Come on Bianca, I know you want this. Don't resist." She outstretched her arms when Bianca was merely five feet away from her. She nodded her head. "You can do this!" She was dying to merge with Bianca. There was so much lust in her eyes, so much greed that she licked her lips hungrily. Power was thrumming around Bianca. It was so palpable. She imagined what all she could do with it and multiplied by ten times.

Daryn's heart plummeted. "No Bia…" he cried. All his efforts were going for a waste. "You can't do that…"

Bianca's eyes were straight on Sedora. Her lips tugged up in a smile. She stepped closer. "Grandmother?" she said in a soft voice.

Sedora nodded with ecstasy. "Yes, yes Bianca!"

"Did you ever love me?" she asked sweetly like a small toddler.

Sedora nodded vehemently. "Always! You can't imagine how I have waited for this day. I have waited for you to come to me ever since Dawn defeated me. I waited for you even before you were born. We belong to each other Bianca! Can you understand the prophecy? Why was it that only I could rule the Lore? Why was it that only you could kill me?"

Expressions soft like a baby, she shook her head, "No grandmother…"

"Because we both are two sides of a coin. Because one can't live without the other. The amalgamation of your soul and my body was inevitable." She took a step forward. "I always loved you Bianca!"

Bianca's expressions turned dark. "Then why did you kidnap me to kill me?" she asked and swayed her sword towards her with a lightning speed.

"Noooooo! Sedora shrieked with excruciating pain. The sword struck her stomach and burned its trail. She stumbled back looking at the burn that ran across her stomach. Wide eyes, shocked as hell, she looked at Bianca. She had raised her sword again to strike her.

"If you loved me why did you say that you would kill Brantley?" Bianca swayed her sword against her, this time slashing her chest.

"Arrggghhhhh!" Sedora stumbled back further as sharp pain shot through her chest. "You bitch!" She cursed her. "You are a filthy spawn of your mother and father." She turned to run towards the mirror. "I will make sure that you never ever come out of this state. I am going to get you in me one way or the other!"

"Don't leave her!" Daryn shouted. "Don't let her go to the mirror!"

The spirits started crawling towards the mirror in order to stop her. Sedora's hands crackled with magic and she threw beams at the spirits on the wall near the mirror. Not a single spirit would crawl over the mirror and she knew it. The spirits screamed as they got burnt but with every one getting eliminated, ten more came, like a legion.

Bianca ran after her with the sword. If Sedora reached the mirror—

Sedora threw beams one after the other to clear her way and all of a sudden she leapt into the mirror—and she was gone. The mirror gobbled her up.

"Where has she gone?" asked Bianca with fear.

"Most likely to the Land of Gaira," came a voice from behind. They turned sharply to look and found Nusgroth almost shaking, his face was pale like that of a ghost. "We are all doomed now." He sank on the floor on his knees with his head in between his heads. "We are all doomed now. No one can save us."

"Adrianna and Isidorus are there!" said Bianca. "Father, can you create a portal for me to Gaira?" She couldn't believe that Sedora escaped once again. So that was why she was going closer to the mirror? Clever woman!

Daryn shook his head. "Only Ileus, Adrianna and Isidorus can do that."

"Then take me to Ileus Uncle!"

"They are fighting a war against winged demons," said Daryn in

"Father, listen to me. You have to communicate with him mentally and arrange this as of now, otherwise—"

Daryn frowned. "Otherwise—"

"I will jump in this mirror!"

Enraged, Daryn rushed and struck the mirror with his sword. It shattered into a thousand pieces. He held Bianca's hand and said, "Come!"
