The Villainess Wants To Go Home novel Chapter 66

Neil jumped down the giant silver reptile and landed softly on the grass of the floating piece of earth. His eyes scanned the view, a vast flat green land below the floating islands, a giant river flowing below, the only seeming watering hole in the area for the creatures who inhabited in this part of the lands, giant crystals spawned out from the ground in all colours, sizes, and shapes and in front of him was floating island staircase leading up to a temple like cottage made from marble as its walls and gold

"For a witch she's rather fancy" Lykos commented his expression the same monotone face, yet his eyes held the reflection of a disgusted man who despises everything around him.

"She is one of the eldest sisters of the five, with beauty that outshines the goddess of beauty herself." Neil took a swallow of salvia to clear his tight throat.

"Tch, how annoying" Lykos murmured to himself as he jumped down from his red Regius dragon.

"Men lose themselves when they lay their eyes on her, be careful and don't fall for her charms" Neil warned him before walking towards a rickety wooden bridge that connected to the floating island.

Lykos arched an eyebrow as he crossed his hands, staring at Neil in disbelief. "I'm not weak hearted Neil. I don't fall for looks" he grumbled as his brow twitched, and he scowled clearly insulted by the prince of Ventus' words.

"A lot of men had said the same exact words before falling deep into her charms" Neil placed a hand on the pole and tapping his foot on the plank of wood to assure that it was safe to walk on.

Lykos pulled a face as he watched the crown prince of Ventus verifying the bridge for safety with his feet. "What is wrong with riding our dragons up there?"

Lykos didn't like the look of the bridge that didn't look sturdy enough for two grown men to be walking on. 'A luxurious cottage yet she can't afford to buy or make new bridges.'

"Daenerys and Cyrus wouldn't be able to fly up there with the witches magic circling around the islands" Neil explained as he took a step on the plank and waited for anything to happen. He watched as the dust particles fell down and he knew one wrong step and he would be those dust particles.

"I see you used your books to identify your way around"

"Are you coming or are you going to stand there and wait for me?" Neil called out, stepping one each plank carefully.

A long sigh escaped his lips as he trailed his fingers through his blazing red hair. "Why do I bother following you around to situations I don't want to get myself involved in?"

The two princes made their way up to the cottage like temple that resided on the biggest floating piece of earth. It wasn't long when they reached it and stood there, glaring at the place they wished to be miles away from.

The place where the witch who would be their end, lived.

"If I die, I'm going to kill you" Lykos scowled. "I wonder how you're going to do that when your already dead yourself?" he said sarcastically with a straight face already approaching the door. Lykos brows furrowed, his red flaming eyes following behind the silver haired prince that seemed to calm to his liking. With a click of his tongue, Lykos followed behind each step he took was a step closer to death.

Lykos and Neil stood face to face in front of a wooden door that had carvings of dragons and swirls on it with a touch of polish to bring out the door itself. With a cross of his hands Lykos spoke "Well then, what are you waiting for knock" he said with a mocking tone.

"Tch, throwing me in as the sacrifice"

"Stated the one who said he would sacrifice his life to save his brother" Neil shot a threatening side glance to the unfazed Drakon prince, who stood beside him with a poker face.

Neil clenched his jaw shut and stretched his fisted hand for a knock when the door suddenly swung open, and a gust of wind blew at them with a fresh scent of rosemary.

"Oh shit" was what Lykos mumbled when suddenly both were pulled in by an invisible force that dragged them in forcefully into the darkness.

The invisible force disbursed and disappeared leaving the two men toppled on top of each other, groaning in pain in the dark without a single clue of what just happened.

"Your not hurt, are you?" Lykos who laid on Neil's stomach asked, a vein throb appearing in his forehead yet Neil who could not see how angry Lykos was mistook it as a kind a gesture which was rather odd coming from someone hot tempered and arrogant like Lykos.

"No, I'm fine" he answered but was actually trying to breath due to the heavy person that laid on top of him. "Good" he hissed before throwing a fist to Neil's chest making him wince in pain.

"URK!"

Lykos ignored the coughing prince, pulling himself off of Neil and getting up dusting himself off in the dark. As he was about to flame his hand on fire for light when a whooshing sound rattled out, turning on all the candles in the room, bring out the light and revealing the room itself.

The inside of the temple wasn't like he thought it would look like. It didn't look spacious or fancy but old and dusty. There was a bubbling liquid in a black cauldron in the middle of the room, the walls were covered in bird skulls off all sorts, jars filled with things he couldn't identify, a shelf filled with old looking books with wrecked spines and old scrolls. His red eyes laid upon a human skull resting on a table near him making his stomach turn.

Yet the only fancy thing in the room Lykos saw was the stairway leading up.

"Tch, so called extravagant hut" Lykos mumbled, his eyes darting from object to object, feeling an uneasy wind linger to near him. He had a gut feeling that he should leave here and not come back because there was something wrong about this place in many unquestionable answers. Neil had staggered up, resting his palm on his chest still feeling the throbbing of his muscles. "I don't I deserved that" he said gasping some lungful of air.

The red-haired prince had opened his mouth to shoot back a statement at Neil but was caught off guard by the silent footstep and seductive chuckling coming from the stair that led upwards.

The two princes' glanced quickly over to the end of the stairs and watched silently as their faces went a little pale when a woman slowly made her way down, her hand tracing down the banister as she walked.

Her long silver hair trailed behind her, the slim black dress revealed her perfectly slander body and those slander long legs. Her skin glowed from the reflection of the fire while her red glittering eyes reflect the wickedness of her.

"I have been expecting you both" her sweet yet seductive voice echoed the room. "Lykos of Drakon and Neil of Ventus" their names slipped out perfectly from her red plump lips.

Beauty she was but her wicked shameful act disgusted both Lykos and Neil making their lips twist. "Mhhmmhmmhmhmh" she chuckled from behind her long fingers, her nails scraping the wood of the stairs.

"Adrastea, is it?" Neil question to verify he was talking to the real witch then a fake. "Oh, sweet boy, I am the one and only Adrastea" she said with a flirtatious smile while making her way to him. Lykos stepped back not wanting to be near the witch afraid she will do something to him.

Neil glanced over to Lykos whose red flaming eyes were glued to the woman like a hunter waiting to release his arrow at the deer, he felt so betrayed by him that he didn't realise that the witch had wrapped herself onto him startling Neil and grabbing his attention back to her.

Her long nails stroked under his soft silver hair "You have come to consult me about your brothers illness" she breathed down his neck making him shiver. Adrastea's body pressed hard against his, feeling her cold body penetrate through the material of his attire.
