THE RISE OF ROYAL RED EYES : BLOOD MOON

Ahiga does have a lot of energies and fun around them. I like his spirit very much. We joke like teenagers. I clung to his arm and laughed at the jokes he'd made.

"Alexa, we should talk" Alexander suddenly emerged from the hall and pulled me up.

"Haah" I was surprised he suddenly appeared in front of me.

"What's the matter?" the rest of my laugh is still hanging, while I'm still holding Ahiga arms.

"Come with me" he grabbed my hand, so, I let go of ahiga.

"Hey wait a minute!" I protested for being pulled suddenly.

"Ahiga I'll catch up with you in a minute." Ahiga just nodded, while I was forced to follow Alexander because he pulled me over.

"Alex, don't pull me over. What do you want to talk about? Let go of me, your grip hurts!" I protested, but he didn't care and pulled me along until I found a quiet corner of the mansion.

"What the hell are you! Why did you have to pull me out like that!" I was angry because I felt he didn't heed my request and forced me with his strength. I stroked my aching hand.

"Don't go showing off your intimate with werewolf in public, if my parents see that you're in trouble! They're still here."

"Intimate? You fucking crazy? Ahiga is our friend!" My voice is high-pitched.

"Leaning your body over another man's body while laughing laughter and holding his hands in his hand? Everyone would say it's intimate!" He didn't want to lose.

"It's just in your mind, why are you jealous or afraid I'm making out with Ahiga?"

"You don't understand. You've crossed your limits!" He took my hand tightly.

"Get off me." I tried to rebel, but I could not keep up with his strength. He pulled me to a more protected angle.

"My mom and dad are here, what if they see you making out with another man. You'll ruin clan cooperation! Are you making a scene here? Do you understand your actions? Behave yourself!" His voice was low but oppressive.

"I and Ahiga are just friends, you know that!" I won't accept being scolded. Whoever he is dare to determine how I behave with my friend. What a dictator.

"Friends don't embrace each other like that, just act naturally. It's not that I forbid you, but you have to consider what others see!"

"So, you now have to set my attitude to my friend how? So small your world."

"You're really stubborn! Please proceed as you wish. If someone rebukes, you later, and it's from my mother to your grandfather, and there's a family meeting, don't blame me for not reminding you!" Alexander went right after saying that.

"Setter once! Just one day we're officially introduced you've been organizing my life towards my attitude towards my friend! What do you want, to make me your prisoner?" I continued so violently, I didn't accept being pulled around so lightly, anger was still flaring in my chest.

Alexander stopped, he froze and then turned to me. A flash of anger now flashed in his eyes. His right-hand hit the wall behind me in anger. Made my body get against the wall. I choked, I teased his, but I'm not going to give up, I refuse to be intimidated by his bullying and remain defiant to his eyes.

"Mind your words Alexa, you don't know what a prisoner is. If I were to do it, I would have given you up in a second. I'm just saving you from your own indiscretions. Don't pretend you're the king's daughter who can do anything. If you're the king's daughter here, you should behave yourself."

He was silent for a moment.

"You should look at what I'm saying as advice, not against you!"

Our eyes stared at each other for a moment at distance before I threw my eyes to the side. I hate this alliance. My eyes are hot, but I won't cry and make him feel victorious.

We fell silent long after fighting with each other. I looked the other way and didn't want to see it at all. He seems to be eased up with my place.

"Hear my words, for what you bear are not your own but the fate of your people. If my mother or my father was offended by your behavior, my mother seems friendly, but if she's been offended she'll make trouble. They could have broken this matchmaking plan. You need to think about a series of events. Because it will not be only affect you or your family but the whole clan and even people." His voice change quiet.

Alexander sighed frustratingly.

"Sorry if I pulled you back there, I didn't mean to hurt you." I still would not look at him, bow my head, and not see him. It's not that easy to make peace with him.

"Let's go back, to the main hall. My mother and father were there with your family and Chairman Watapio, so, I immediately grabbed you." Now I look at him.

I walked back into the hall in silence Alexander followed me beside as soon as he came I saw a large desk filled with the Aegis core family and advisers, the leaders of the Ostrander Clan and Werewolf troupe, including Ahiga. They apparently ate together to encourage the legions on duty.

"Let's join in, get regular."

Alexander walked beside me. We joined the crowd, Alexander's mother, who caught me waving. She was having a friendly conversation with my mother. He wasn't lying when he told me his mom and dad, and our whole family were here.

"Dear Alexa, come sit with us. Alex would please get Alexa a chair"

Alexander quickly fetch me a chair, I joined the conversation like there was nothing before. While Alexander joined Evan, Daniel and Ahiga in the other seats.

Finally, the breakfast show went well and smoothly without any incident. Though the whole show stopped talking to AlexanAlexander

***

I still avoid meeting Alexander from since yesterday's incident. I know the warning he gave was true. It would be weird if I showed up with Ahiga in the dining room, and our family saw it. But I haven't been able to speak to him. I don't know, it feels like I'm still lazy to talk to him. If I see it I'll instantly seek other avenues to avoid it.

Better no contact of any kind now. And it is better to avoid his practical attitude that is always firm and cold.

I bused myself with my duties and locked myself in the control center room, there was a new place coming in. From aerial observations the region was located on the border between Spain and Portugal named Bandajoz. And this time there was still activity. I saw pictures submitted by drone surveillance squads.

A large building similar to the old fort, surrounded an agricultural area. The characteristics of these buildings are somewhat different, we usually find buildings with remote locations. Yet this time the buildings are mingled in one, village.

"This is a strange location, a village." I spoke with Ahiga sitting with me watching the main monitor.

"But according to our scouts, there's no sign of any dark spells at all. But his activity only increased." Ahiga chimed in my words.

"You're right, this place is crowded."

"But why has it not been detected by dark forces, is it possible now that they have found a way to hide their powers completely?" I thought hard. It needs to be checked right away.

"There's a major Witch, Mae there. Can you have her come to the control room now?" I have to ask the senior witch what might have been. I saw a map of the village on the drone surveillance data. Although it is crowded but the village seems rather isolated from its territory.

Only one main entrance is accessible overland. The other three sides are bounded by mountains and canyons, and the rivers that cross the entrance. The entrance to the village is a bridge in a swift flowing river. Which also became a vast farming site running along the river's side.

"Alexa, what's up?" Witch Mae Osweli, one of the main witches of 33 special capable major witches. He has the ability of mind magic through sound, control of nature and animals.

"We found a strange place out of 40 places we were looking for. A terisostream farming village, it is estimated there are about 3,000 people in it. But here it is completely undetected dark aura. I suspect they found a spell to hide themselves from us." I told the story to Witch Mae.

'I'd have to hold people exposed to that spell to figure it out Alexa. Can't be without touch."

"Is it that" I think if they had the ability to hide themselves like this, it could be a hinder for us to do a search around the world. Sooner or later this must be ensured so that we do not search in vain and spend money on a useless search operation.

"I'll call Evan" Evan turns out to be on a break, surgery overseen by his staff.

"Master Mae, I think we have to make sure of this, otherwise the clans will be in vain deploying their efforts to search operations around the world. We only need to arrest one person right? "

"Yeah, maybe some people, so we can really be sure"

"We're infiltrating with a spell busting, I'll bring some invading witches to protect us"

"Fine, let's do it." Witch Mae approves.

I handed over command of surveillance to Drake senior, and took four of the attacking witches with us.

Soon we arrived at the edge of the village with a vortex opened by the search squad.

With a busting spell we flew and got into the village, and stood on the roof of a big house there. I and witch Mae tried to make sure once again by feeling the aura around us, and we didn't feel any dark aura around us.

The big old fort was located not far from that house, many people were out going into that fort. A man fresh out of the fort, was walking alone on a deserted corner of a sheltered street.

"That guy we can check it out without making a fuss, he was out of the castle building." Witch Mae and his legions of attackers saw the direction I was pointing.

"Fine, let's do it, we pull him into the corner of that building." An invading witch pointed to a sheltered bush besides a wall of an old, seemingly uninhabited house.

We are conferring for security measures. I and witch Mae will knock him unconscious. And four others will stand guard. We moved quickly, our target passed out in an instant being hit by a throw of energy. I quickly caught his body and dragged him into a tall bush.

"I need five minutes for scanning meditation." Witch Mae starts cross-legged picks on a date with a woman we lay on the ground.

"Fine."

We all looked around. While the other four attackers watched the scene from above. Everything seems to be quiet, with no suspicious sounds or movements around us.

A few minutes later, a rune recognized the woman in red. Witch Mae seems to have found something. She draws new runes, on top of old ones. As she touched her forehead with a rune, a loud cry was released by her. It poured out into the surrounding region.

Bad! I looked straight into the area around me. The attackers upstairs have been alerted.

"25 meters to your left, someone will come."

"Witch Mae we have to go!"

"Fine let's go."

We left the woman in protective undergrowth. And fly to where we were before. The person who came looking for it called someone.

Before long a loud chime hung in the distance. The alarm has been sounded.

"They were all influenced by a dark aura. There are powerful spells that hide their power."

"Senior Drake, you heard that?" I'm connected to the command center.

"I heard, get out of there immediately. You have no backup center" Senior Drake warned us.

"We're moving to first team site now." We all head north toward large fields of corn to cross the river and meet up with the first team.

But before we could make our move, the church bells went silent throughout the village and in the towers where a speaker could hear a mantra that was strange in his language. And echoing through the countryside where the first team felt the energy of the spell. Somehow feeling the energy of the spell weakens us.

The spell was shouted at by all the villagers simultaneously. Our strength weakens so Suddenly, we can't even maintain our altitude. Our veil of invisibility faded and revealed our figure.

"It's a charm to moisten the aura. We have to hide." Witch Mae reminded us.

"We hid in that field. Wait for help while looking for the closest point out." We descended and went in between the spreading fields of corn.

"Hold on a second. I'll ask backup for you" across from senior Drake asking us to wait.

We moved in quiet silence to the north, trying not to cause movement among the clumps of corn. The sounds of mantras shouted by the populace was getting closer behind. They know our location, but they're uncertain. Some shots into the mid water made us thump with suspense.

The energy of a thousand spells simultaneously suppressed our aura in such a way that all we could do was trying to avoid it. This time whether we got away without our powers.
