PATREA.

I gasped for air as my throat continued to bum, but it didn’t feel painful at all. In fact, the warmth in my throat was soothing.

I let my hand trail down my neck as I softly moaned, only to realize that my whole body was burning. My body jolted up, and I sat down. I was floating while the battle continued below me.

It took a while before everything registered as to where I was and what was happening. Earlier, I was riding Angel, Lucy’s winged wolf. While Lucy was communicating with me about different ways I could use my new power, something suddenly hit my back.

I knew Lucy had placed a protective spell around us, but it looked like the one who fired it used a bigger power than Lucy had, so whatever she used was not enough.

Everything happened so fast. Angel’s wings were also hit by fire, and we came crashing down. I tried to put a spell on to protect us from falling, but everything suddenly went dark, and I had no idea what happened next.

But here I am now.

I tilted my head back, and I saw Althea below me, chanting spells, and it made me realize the energy surrounding me came from her.

My heart thudded loudly as worry coursed through my whole body. Although Lucy, Adan, and Blade were around to protect her, she was already losing so much energy because her nose was bleeding profusely.

I had to get moving. I aimed for the fire to subside, but before I could make my next move, Lucius was already in my mind.

‘It’s my fire. Let it burn, so I can protect you from anyone hitting you.” I was about to reject the idea as I didn’t want to steal his energy when I saw him in his new form.

His body had grown twice as big, with little horns or thorns sprouting around his arms. And I knew we were in a battle, but my mind drifted to how on earth I would survive if he f*uc*ked me in that form.

Oh, spirits! I shook my head to let those thoughts leave my head when I heard Lucius chuckling.

‘We can try if you’re that curious. I promise I will be gentle.’ He was teasing me all the while he was busy exploding demons around him. My eyes widened, but I remained quiet. Was this how the mind connection works? This was so awkward. He would be able to hear everything.

‘Yes. I will hear everything.’ He answered. Of course, he could hear me. ‘Unless you learn to control what your mind can connect with me or not.’

‘You need to teach me,’ I told him. ‘Maybe I won’t,’ he replied. ‘Lucius!’ I snapped at him before I summoned spirits to send a stronger protective globe to my granddaughter and to everyone around her before nodding my head at her.

She let go of the protective spell she cast on me and I slowly descended from the air.

Althea dropped to her knees, panting, and from the pale expression on her face, she was about to fall to the ground.

A loud beastly growl erupted in the air as Blade sprung toward where Althea was and caught her body before she collapsed, and everything happened so fast after that.
