Loved By a Vampire King-Chapter 508 - Meeting Enchantress’s Soul --- Part 1
The suggestion didn't get approved by Cedric instantly. He heard lot about this Enchantress who had fight with the vampire king and had deep hatred towards his family. Even Ayra had to join in fight in order to stop her. During the process, she had received this undefined mark on her wrist. His heart didn't feel eased with the suggestion and he blurted seeking for Master Ambert's permission,
" Can I travel with her too?"
He offered voluntarily and couldn't help from getting scared. He just had her entirely and didn't want to loose anymore. Ayra responded first, shaking her head in refusal,
" No, Your Highness! This battle is mine. You have already tolerated enough for me. So let me handle this one, please!"
She gave him a pleading look from aside. She didn't want to drag him in another trouble because of her. Cedric pressed his lips together but couldn't say anything since it was her choice indeed. No matter how much protests he had against her decision, her sweet milky voice convinced him at the end.
He exhaled heavily, agreed after pulling his eyes back on Master Ambert,
" Just make sure that she stays safe around the witch."
He didn't trust Enchantress even though she was dead now. Master Ambert smiled at Cedric, amusement laced from his red eyes. He didn't expect that someday he will see Cedric caring for someone who didn't even care for his own father.
After both parties agreed to perform the ritual of leaving soul, Ayra had followed Master Ambert in distance. Cedric closely trailed them off as they entered into a black circle. He looked down, finding unknown black lines on the ground as if it was being drawn on purpose.
As he kept wandering about the circle, Master Ambert spoke in his cold voice, warning him firmly,
" Don't step into the circle, Your Highness!" 𝙛𝐫𝑒𝐞𝘄ℯ𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝙚𝘭. c𝘰m
Cedric pushed his eyes up, his eyes snapping open curiously,
" What does this line mean, Master Ambert?"
Master Ambert smiled mysteriously, dragging Ayra on the opposite side of his mark. He replied in a short and heavy voice,
" The line between death and soul, Your Highness! I am not sure what might happen to you. So please step aside."
Cedric knitted his brows tightly and looked down again to take a better look. He wasn't still convinced enough to let Ayra entering into this circle but they both needed the answer.
Ayra followed his eyes on ground, a little nervousness gripped her soul since she never performed this ritual before. She didn't even know how does it feel to walk around without body. Master Ambert gestured into the circle,his lips formed into an encouraging smile as he spoke to Ayra,
" I believe, you will find your answer, Princess. If you find Enchantress in the other world, remember to stay patience to get your answer."
Ayra nodded her head with understanding and began to walk into the circle after looking around. Cedric and Master Ambert stayed on the other side of circles, watching her entering closely. After she successfully entered, Master Ambert asked her to lie down. She obliged laying down and closed her eyes after a long exhale. She didn't know what was going to happen in the other world but she wouldn't return without her answer.
By the time, she had opened her eyes, a world lurking in darkness greeted her. Even the open sky that she had seen before had no longer out there. Her vision was only facing the darkeness blankly. At her slightest movement, she tilted her head around, finding no one close there. Cedric and Master Ambert were gone. Ayra sat up to look around deeply. The place was looking nothing like SoulSilver Land and she assumed that her soul had transmigrated to another world where she could find Enchantress's soul. But it was already so lonely out there.
How could she possibly find a soul that belongs to Enchantress?
Questions puzzled her mind as she pushed herself from the ground. Her vampire ability to watch through the darkeness helped her to see that the black marks of ground was still present there. She guessed that she had to come back again to lay down and travel into her real world.
Walking out of the black lines, she followed a path leaded into the forest. Though the place around her circle was engulfed in darkness, she found light after walking further away. Lanterns were placed in each side of path to illuminate the space and showed her the depth of forest. As she began to walk deeper into the forest aimlessly, she noticed few symbols after a while. Clueless about what those meant, she didn't pay attention any longer and paid attention on walking through the forest and find Enchantress as soon as possible.
After a while of walking, Ayra ended up reaching in a circle place where many people were walking around. As soon as her eyes crawled downward to take better look of their momentum, she gasped in surprise. They had no legs to walk and were floating in the air. Her eyes travelled down and she was once again surprised to realize that she was also walking in the air.
Her face drained a little but she quickly recovered as her timing was too short here. After collecting her bizzare thoughts, her eyes searched around in order to find her expected person. She had a solid memory of Enchantress and her feature though long time had passed. She believed that she would be able to recognize her if she paid close attention.
After stalling around for a while, Ayra was feeling lost among all this new faces.She didn't even know whether was it okay to ask someone about Enchantress or not. She heard a woman speaking to another guy walking beside him,
" Did you hear? The witch is again punished. Looks like she has to spend her all life in darkness."
Ayra's face lit up in hope and expectation. She quickly went over to the woman to ask hastily,
" Excuse me, can you tell me which witch are you talking about?"
The guy narrowed his eyes suspiciously, eyeing at her from head to toe,
" Who are you? It doesn't seem like we have seen you before."
