Ern

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Feb 09, 2026

Where the sun was shining, the Murdgen Palace had a great feast for their prince's first-year birthday, wrapped in the arms of the queen, who was sitting next to her young adopted daughter as they watched the jesters performing at the royal court.

The prince, who just saved Adyna, was there among the guests through possession. He was there as Lord Wedtory, a mage, who was eyeing an old warlock sitting with other magicians at the opposite table. They were gossiping about the disappearance of the enchantress and her army.

The warlock excused himself as he stood up and went to the queen to whisper something. Then he bowed to the queen before leaving the courtyard and entering the palace.

The prince also excused himself and inconspicuously left to follow the warlock. They were also followed by a lady witchess who also left her seat.

Once the prince was out of sight by the corridor, his soul left Wedtory's body and continued to follow the warlock, who briskly walked.

"What am I...?" Confused Wedtory questioned himself, being in the corridor alone. "How did I...?"

When he turned around, he was delighted when the lady witchess was rushing towards him with glaring eyes.

He walked towards her as he said, "Oh, human! I'm a bit confused. Do you ha..." Then he gasped when the witchess's face suddenly appeared close to his chin as she squeezed his heart inside his chest. And the blood was dripping down her arm from her buried fingers.

She removed her hand from his open chest as he fell dead on the floor. Then she left to follow the warlock as she disgustedly shook the blood off her hand that had spattered her dress and the floor.

The warlock entered the cellar with eleven magicians who encircled the hanged Adyna as they were casting an incantation with their eyes stuck to the sorceress's open eyes.

As the warlock joined them in a circle, the prince, as a soul, left the cellar and appeared standing outside the unhidden house of Adyna, which had become part of the physical dimension.

"No..." He uttered.

"No?" The princess said behind him.

He turned around, then she blew a carbonized human powder on his face, a poison that directly killed him down to the ground and awakened him back in the cellar where he first neutralized his spirits to activate his soul.

He quickly stood up and spun around, as his body glimmered with blue electric lights. Then he vanished and appeared in the past as a soul where Adyna and Athan were out alone in the desert. The moment when the circle, with their closed eyes, lit a white light that streamed through the lines and ran across the planet.

Before the light could reach the throne where Queen Esofere was sitting, the prince spotted the witch man, who distantly appeared behind the sorceress. The witch channeled fire in his hands, glaring at them.

The witch was about to cast the fire when the soul of the prince swiftly crossed through him and vanished into smoke, which pulled his soul out of his body. As his body fell dead, his soul was in shock before he instantly disappeared. While the prince's soul reappeared.

The light in the lines also stopped when Adyna turned to where the dead witch was.

As thousands of magicians suddenly appeared kilometers away from Adyna and Athan, surrounding them, Adyna turned to Athan and saw the sword just hurled by an old magician.

"Athan!" She pulled him down to the sand to dodge the sword that swiftly passed over them.

The sorceress's belly suddenly tingled with pain, and she held it and said, "We didn't disappear..."

Athan immediately sat up and put his arm around her back, then asked her, "What is it?"

"Can you still make us teleport from here?"

"No, what's wrong? Is it our baby? I've a..." He tried to make them disappear in a moment of silence. "Yeah, I couldn't make us either."

"She's taking half of our charms."

"How?" Then he looked around and saw the still magicians who were confused by Adyna's no-attack.

"Athan, we have to continue!"  

"No. We can get back. Not for now. We can't outwin them like this."

"No, no!" She cried. "She's already getting stronger and stronger ev... ugh! Please! We're losing chances!"

A sorceress's body explosion among the magicians caught all their attention.

"What was that?" Athan asked.

They were speechless as they watched how every magician dropped dead on the sand.

The prince's soul rushed and appeared next to Adyna and Athan. He then held both their hands to disappear.

Terff just appeared as she finished sucking the souls. She looked into where the couple disappeared.

She walked slowly towards the circle as she couldn't tell what happened.

"You failed..." Queen Esofere uttered behind Terff. "...again."

When Terff turned to the queen, the queen immediately sucked her soul, dropping her dead body on the sand as the stars were shining over the horizon.
