Burning Soul

“Catherine! Here, take this!” Saying so Aeneas threw a mana stone at her infused with space magic.

The Mana stone was actually a rock but looked somewhat like a pebble. Its length was 10cm and 4cm broad. It was light pink in colour and both surfaces of the stone were smooth, having a round shape. Whenever the spells were spoken to get help from the Mana stone, it possessed a slight golden light around itself.

“Use it to teleport out of here along with others! This place ain’t safe and we can’t fight to worry about what’s behind me. He quivered with indignation, every muscle in his body was now tensed. But as he spoke, desire percolated between them.

She stepped forward and quickly grabbed the Mana stone which Aeneas threw towards her and looking at the stone in hand she looked at him and asked in a worried tone, “do you know who they are?” As she asked her knees wobbled a little bit and her heart skittered.

“Yeah!

I have some really intricate history with that bitch there, lemme me handle her.”

There was something else going on in her head and that thought gnawed at her. She kept her deep warm eyes fixed on the Mana stone for a few seconds and just wondered, "What if the Mana stone doesn't work after the spell is over?" or "What will happen if I would not be able to Spell the lines correctly ?" This thought made her chest stuttered with fear and she felt breathless. But after looking at the situation she made herself calm and stood up with a passion for the fight.

Meanwhile, the attack that ember landed upon Archelaus dissipated leaving behind a gist of smoke which was very thick and white in colour, around him as he stood unharmed.

“Oye! It didn’t look like you were aiming for me but you got me good, does that mean I’m involved in this?

Should I be beginning my turn?

I guess I can since I was attacking!”

He had a crooked smile on him as he looked down on Ember who was huffing after spending so much mana in that short time. Luna managed to hide her frail kitten self behind her thick curly hairs.

“Isn’t it beauty Arch!

She’s no ordinary, ah! A greater spirit.

Aeneas, you sure do know how to attract strange people! Mark would have been so happy seeing you like this!”

As she said so, Aeneas launched himself in the air at lightning speed, “Bitch, you dare take his name!

His pulse slammed in his neck, his temple throbbed with rage, his brain exploded with fury, every muscle in his body became tense. There were enormous thoughts that were rising in his head. His face reddened and his eyesight became vicious as he stared at her.

Come forth,

Gluttony!”

To his incantation a rather gloomy looking sword appeared in his hang, the hilt of the sword was shiny golden in colour and had a very sharp long blade attached to it; giving off a but creepy aura.

Using the momentum he charged onto her without giving much thought, Ember took the opportunity to attack Archelaus at all of him from intervening Aeneas.

“You are my target, you dare make my master sick and pull such dirty tricks!

Take this you jerk,

‘Nova Burst’”

With her incantation in place as well, they both looked like shooting stars, one with a dark halo while the other with blazing.

…

“Don't you get it!

We are here to collect, not fight!” She elevated her long eyebrows looking at them and pulled them closer which caused vertical lines to appear between them, with her slender rose colour hands she stroked hairs that trembled over her face and remained standing on the place where she was with hands folded about her waist. As they both were about to hit their targets, Archelaus jumped in front of Ersa and stopped both of them, but just a touch of his palm!

Both almost froze mid-air, their immense power and momentum were seized just like that!

“They are way out of our league” Catherine was dumbstruck with the scene that was unfolding before her.

‘I should just take them away! We can still make it out!’ she held the stone tight and went picking up Theo taking him to Nuae’s cell. There she used the stone to teleport out of danger.

Things had gotten ugly!

She was taken farther than where she was but could clearly hear the fight!

Or so she thought, she looked around and found the surrounding just as chaotic. Everyone was running. Although she was taken to the palace gates, she could see a lot of chaos.

“what…!” she couldn’t process it all, Sylph had finally come out of the spiritual realm and the first thing she did was hugging Catherine.

“Sylph!” she burst into tears after being reunited, her cheeks turned pink, a flush crept up over her face, happiness flowed through her, the warmth of hug filled her chest, her heartfelt light, her spirits soared and she felt fully alive, “what the hell happened!”

“Some unexpected guests are here, young one!” It was Dimitri who was standing behind her.
