“Please, kiss him again,”
I heard Adie’s voice in my head, and before I could take action on her words, Killian’s mouth invaded mine once more and our tongues entangled in a deep embrace, his arms squeezing me so close to his body that I could barely breathe. Killian pulled away reluctantly, resting his forehead on mine. “Please come back to me, safe and unharmed,”
There was something in his words that made my soul tighten. I don’t know what, but I nodded.
“I swear I will,”
I smiled, “Always,”
I assured him gently.
“I will be here with the witches. I know you can handle yourself, but please, at the first sight of danger, Naomi, just call my name and I swear I’ll be there,”
he said with all seriousness that I couldn’t help but smile at him.
“I will,”
I muttered, kissing him one last time before leaving him and joining the trail of the witches to where the ritual will be performed.
I walked in, behind the coven’s witches, taking a careful scan around. Everything had been carefully prepared. My eyes went over the ancient marking that seemed like they were deeply etched on the ground, moving to the phoenix stones positioned around the crystalline water.
I sighed again. I had asked Jaskier about the vessel that Nikolai had chosen for tonight, but he had no idea who it was. It worried me that I didn’t know what that imbecile plans, but, it doesn’t matter.
I jerked from my thoughts, feeling a strong grip around my waist, and then Vladimir’s scent invaded my nostrils.
I turned to him, smiling, and from behind, Nikolai joined us.
“It’s time already,”
he said, and I nodded at his words. My eyes moved from him to Nikolai.
“Are you going to be watching the ritual?”
I asked Vlad through my eyelashes.
“No,”
he replied, and I nodded, hiding my relief. “I am going to be tonight’s vessel.”
The second his words reached my ears, I felt my spine stiffen and my eyes gazed at him expressionlessly before shifting to Nikolai.
“That’s… dangerous, Vlad,”
I said calmly, bringing my eyes back to Vladimir. “I don’t agree with this new change. We should use a different vessel first, just in case things go wrong.”
“Nothing will go wrong tonight,”
Nikolai assured me from behind, as my blue eyes slowly fell on him. I felt an overpowering urge to rip his throat out. But I had to tame my raw emotions, not responding to his comments, and my gaze drifted back to Vladimir. “If this is truly what you want,”
I said, and Vladimir’s lips pressed to mine.
“Don’t worry, darling. I know for a fact that this will be successful.”
I nodded, having nothing more to say on the matter. They had decided on this. My eyes met with Nikolai, “We should begin.”
At my words, the coven witches spread out, taking their positions on each ancient symbol etched on the ground. Vladimir took off his leather garment, exposing his broad arms, and chiseled chest where the symbol of the black dragon was inked on his skin. I followed him to the crystalline waters, and slowly, he settled in. His wet golden hair stuck to his face, and his eyes found mine.
Nikolai moved to his position at the end of the water and slowly moved to mine at the head of the water, right opposite Nikolai.
The instant I stepped on the ancient symbols, the phoenix stones glowed brightly, and I felt its magic mix with the air, charging into the crystalline waters.
I took a deep breath, knowing at this moment, Jaskier and the witches were gathered as well somewhere within the cave, waiting for the time they will join the ritual, changing its course of direction, and instead of making use of the crack and temporary unleashing the dark magic in Vladimir, we will be permanently sealing the crack that has been made by Nikolai in the prison caging this darkness.
I closed my eyes, as Killian’s face flashed through my mind, calming me. It gave me the strength I needed to do this. Just the thought of getting our lives back to normal where no threat or darkness was lurking around was so tempting and the motivation I needed. I pulled my eyes open, and they captured Vladimir’s fathomless stare on me, regarding me so deeply.
“Let’s begin,”
I released my magic, and my eyes glowed a bright blue, causing the ancient symbols and inscriptions on the ground to glow as well. I began channeling every witch in here but concentrated more on Nikolai’s magical energy. I had to weaken him to a point where it’ll be easy for Zena and the witches to pull down the invisible boundary spells holding Oasis. Just then, the ritual had begun, and there was no turning back now.
*****
Kaiser’s point of view
We were all in position. Many prisoners were scattered throughout Oasis, watching and waiting for the signal before we began the attack.
I was in my wolf form, sharing control with Kade, constantly searching the air and sky for the signal which was Zena’s and the witches’ successful entry into Oasis. It was until we saw the signal that the attack had to begin.
My eyes lifted to the raging Blood moon. I was worried. Naomi must have begun the ritual now, and the attack should be happening right now as the witches are busy with the ritual.
I couldn’t help my trembling. And somewhere deep down within my soul, I recognized the fear settling in, not for the attack, but for Naomi.
Urgh!
I groaned internally; this was all Killian’s fault. I knew my sister was very capable, hell, I had seen it countless times, but for an unknown, sickening reason, I felt fear.
Oh, goddess, please take care of her.
I moved around the woods, to clear out my thoughts and expel the fear settling in. The exercise worked a great deal. My eyes went back up, scanning for any signs, but nothing.
“Please, give me something,”
I begged mentally. “Come on, love,”
I muttered internally, and immediately, I felt an enormous wave of magical energy pass through me, sweeping through Oasis. It was external and supreme.
My eyes darted up into the darkness and I noticed blue sparks traveling in the air. The boundary. A smile found my lips. The boundary was collapsing. They were f*****g here.
I couldn’t hide my elation as another wave of powerful magical energy swept through the air and earth, almost pushing me over. It lasted for a quarter second before it stopped, and I felt it. The fresh breeze of freedom. Kade lifted his face in the night, releasing a deep long howl for everyone to hear, informing them it was time to fight like our lives depended on it because, at this point, it actually did.
Naomi’s point of view
The witches’ chants echoed within the walls of the cave, as we carried on with the ritual. I could feel the power of the four phoenix stones mixing with the water. It was time to move on to the next phase of the ritual. Nikolai nodded to one of the witches from his coven, and he stepped forward, bringing the dagger specifically for the ritual to me.
I took it from him, holding its black handle. I started chanting in a foreign language, and the magical symbols on the dagger began to glow. I strode to the crystalline waters that shone with the magic of the phoenix stones.
Vladimir was still in it, his deep golden eyes narrowed on me as I brought the sharp blade to his throat. I hesitated briefly, as his unreadable gaze burned into mine. For the next phase of the ritual, the chosen vessel had to be dead while we perform the resurgent ritual. The vessel’s throat had to be slit with the black dagger, with the blood mixing into the crystalline waters now holding the magic of the phoenix stones.
With a small glint in his eyes, Vladimir’s lips curled into a smirk, as he moved his head into a small nod and I pressed the sharp blade of the dagger deeper into his neck, slitting his throat. His blood jumped right out from his body, rushing out at great speed. Vladimir sank himself into the water which had begun to color red. His golden eyes never left mine until he closed his eyes. The black dagger was no mere dagger, its magic was enough to stop one’s heart for a few minutes, and that would give us enough time to complete the ritual.
I turned my eyes to Nikolai who was watching me from the end of the water. I nodded to him, and the witches began chanting, and so did I. We had barely gotten deep into the ritual when a force of magical energy swept through us. And every one of us felt it. Nikolai’s dark eyes widened, and I was sure he knew what it meant. The boundary had collapsed, and at this moment, Oasis was under attack. And the best part, we were right in the middle of the ritual.
