"What is this?" Elliana looked around as she found herself teleported to so weird place.
Everything around her was painted red. And it wasn’t an understatent.
The sky was reddish. The trees, they were all dried and looked lifeless, there were no small plants, and the bushes were full of thorns. Even the moon in the sky was red.
"Where am I?" She asked no one in particular, a weird anxiousness settling in her heart as she felt like she was taken away from the real world.
The scariest part was - she didn’t even know how to go back to the real world.
It was weirdly warm here, the kind of warm that makes your skin itch and want to sweat out the heat. However, there was no sweat on her body, just weird pricklings.
With a confused expression, Elliana wiped the almost-dried tears and walked around for a few minutes, turning to the cliff.
She moved cautiously, unsure of the strength of the rocks.
What was this? She wondered, furrowing her brows when she looked down from the cliff.
Sothing was flowing downwards. It looked like a large stream of water, but the water, why was it black? Or was it red? It was hard to decipher the color from the height.
Apart from dark red, things were visibly blackish or grayish. It looked like a place that those shinigami lived in from that popular book.
Everywhere she looked, it was horrifyingly creepy.
She gulped, her heart picking its pace now.
"Is anyone here?" Elliana whispered to herself, unsure if she should raise her voice.
She was in a place where she didn’t know anything or anyone. Everything around her was weird. What if so kind of monster appears and tries to take advantage of her oblivion and prisons her? Or worse, kill her? Elliana shook her head.
Gurgggrrr.
Elliana heard a weird voice around her, moving out of the way just in ti as the area under her foot started to boil, steam coming out of it.
’Circe, what is going on?’ She finally asked one thing that could tell her what was happening and take her out of there.
anwhile, Nathaniel and the dean who reached the terrace of the building looked around, trying to find the trouble-making girl who was trying a spell that she didn’t even know anything about.
"Where did she go?" The dean asked.
Nathaniel squared his jaws, trying to find just one hint of where she could be.
She hadn’t even learned it properly and she was skilled enough to not leave any traces behind her.
Maybe Arizona was right.
If Elliana learned all those spells that shouldn’t be allowed near her, she might beco the strongest witch alive, surpassing her grandmother and the great-grandmother who established the reigns of the witches in the world.
Then again, even if they don’t bring those spells to Elliana, weren’t her powers enough to perform those spells? And given how they were refining themselves, things were becoming even harder.
If things like this kept happening, it wouldn’t be long until she would end up introducing herself to the forbidden spells and just like the na, those spells were like the forbidden apple that attracts you towards themselves.
And once you get into their clutches and have a taste of them, there would be no going back.
"What are you doing? Do I need to tell you to perform the locator spell on her already?" Nathaniel glared at the dean.
The dean pressed his lips into a thin line.
What was he supposed to say in this case? That he tried the locator spell but it didn’t work? That he, the person who has mastered the locator spells of the second highest order, wasn’t able to locate an 18-year-old girl who has accidentally teleported herself to a realm that no one knows about?
The dean nodded vaguely, not wanting to embarrass himself in front of the prince, before walking to the side, his gaze flickering on the ground as he looked at a red spot in the middle that was barely visible.
"What’s this?" The dean asked and Nathaniel turned to where the dean was pointing. His gaze darkened and his eyes turned that sinisterly blue ocean color which represented his extre emotions.
"For f*cks sake, tell this is not the red trace of the hell opening," Nathaniel groaned, ruffling his hair in sheer anger.
"Red spot of hell?" The dean furrowed his brows, and Nathaniel squared his jaws.
Was this girl really powerful enough to open an opening like this?
"If that’s the case, how will she co out of it? As a white witch, I can’t go there, and as a mixed breed witch, no one’s going to allow you there," Dean said the words that Nathaniel dreaded, and he looked at the dean with a glare that said - ’stop saying the obvious if you want to live’
Dean - "...." What did I do now?
"I don’t rember when I told you I needed you to spell out what kind of problem Elliana has gotten herself into. What I need is a fucking solution. A solution that will help Elliana co out of it because I know that stupid girl only knows how to get into trouble. She doesn’t know how to get out of it," Nathaniel said.
The Dean looked at Nathaniel for a few seconds and nodded with a sigh.
"You and I both know what the solution is, Prince Nathaniel. It would be better if you accept it because there is no other way to co out of the region until you are able to walk out on your own or the demons help you," The dean said the words Nathaniel didn’t want to hear at the mont.
He also knew what the dean was referring to here was true and the only way they could use it. They needed a pure dark witch and a very powerful one at that who would be able to go to the hell regions and bring Elliana out of there, probably reason with the demons too if they get involved.
Elliana was like an energy nebula with all the powers residing inside her, not to ntion those siren powers that had started to show their effects already. If the demons took a liking to her powers, they will do anything in their power to keep her there to suck the energies out of her.
There was a reason he wasn’t teaching her teleportation spells. Because he was afraid of exactly these things. But even after that, she ended up in these problems.
Probably there was a fault in his way of teaching.
Rather than stopping her from learning those things that can pull her into any kind of trouble, he needs to teach her things in a way that she knows how to co out of particular trouble. If he can’t protect her from those spells, he will have to train her to be strong enough to be able to bear the consequences and face them. Nathaniel sighed.
While in the hell regions of the Red Mountains, Elliana sat with her back leaning on a dried tree with her legs close to her chest.
She looked around, feeling lost and scared. She didn’t know what was happening but didn’t need a genius to tell her she had gotten herself into so kind of trouble, and for so reason, no matter how much she tried to call Nathaniel through the magical number, it wasn’t connecting.
As a matter of fact, no matter what number she dialed, nothing was working.
Elliana placed her head on her knees, missing Mr. Marino already. If he had been here, he would have found out just any way to free her from her miseries.
"Mr. Marino, please save ," she whispered, closing her eyes, trying her best to think of good things to calm her raging heart and think of a solution because running around to look for the exit wasn’t helping her.
