Elliana looked at the woman in front of her that almost looked like Arizona but was so much different at the sa ti.
Her mother told her that they were only three sisters, and Arizona never had a child, then where did this girl co from? Or could it be that she was the child born out of wedlock that no one knew about?
Elliana looked at the dress this girl was wearing. It was the official white witch cloak, sothing similar to that of Arizona, but this was in blue and yellow while what Arizona wears is yellow and red.
She squinted her brows, trying to figure out what was going on.
Elliana pressed her lips into a thin line. She was already short of ti, and as much as she didn’t want to waste her ti on this girl, she wanted to know the truth too.
She looked around, her gaze landing on her father who was tied to the chains and she gulped, her heart skipping a beat. The large prism in front of her father was the only thing keeping them apart.
And just like the last ti, until she breaks the prism, he won’t be able to feel or see anyone on this side.
Will she be able to break this prism? It didn’t look easy. She thought before shaking her head.
No. She can’t waver and question herself at a ti like this when she is almost near her goal.
"Who are you?" Elliana got a hold of her emotions, her eyes drooping.
The girl in front of her smiled and stood from the throne seat she was sitting in while waiting for her to arrive and started stepping toward Elliana.
"Talk from where you are. I am not a fan of people invading my space. It makes want to show them their place," Elliana said, a clear threat in her voice, and the girl stopped in her place, tilting her head.
"You are just like how I have heard about you. Beautiful, Intelligent, and Resilient," the girl said.
Elliana smiled.
"And you are soone I never heard about. If you are here to stop from taking my father away and want to fight, get this over with. I don’t have all the ti in the world for this sh*t realism," Elliana said, keeping her senses alert for a sudden attack and her expression neutral.
The girl in front of her smiled a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"I understand. If I had been in your place, I would’ve had the sa thoughts too. I am glad that you are still safe from Azrael’s clutches," She said, her words catching Elliana’s attention.
Azrael’s clutches? Why would she ntion Azrael? Shouldn’t she have said sothing about Arizona? Wait. Does she an it wasn’t Arizona who was keeping a look at this magical realism but was Azrael?
Elliana’s pupils dilated when the realization dawned upon her.
All the gates she opened so far, using so much of her Magna, Azrael was probably waiting for this too.
And now that this prism was the only thing left between them...
Elliana turned around when she felt the dominating presence behind her.
"You guys are really thoughtful and thorough with all the plotting and execution. Look, how nicely you were able to break all the gates while still being alive. I lost 9 witches in this maze one by one but no one could open the gates for . And now that I think about it, it was a foolish move, no? You were bound to co sooner or later," Azrael stood in front of Elliana.
Elliana’s heart thumped in her chest.
Their calculations were wrong. They probably never had a threat from Arizona. It was always from Azrael. The woman who has surprisingly known their every move.
And it only ant one thing. She was spying on them through so other ans other than a witch following them.
Elliana started thinking about all the tis she interacted with Nathaniel and Azura to plot sothing against the woman to figure out who it could really be that the witch was using.
They had thought about it before too, but it was hard to decipher who it was since they weren’t sure if any witch was following them. But this ti, they ensured everything.
Then how? Who was the one under the spell?
Nathaniel was a hybrid prince, so putting a spell on him would’ve made his powers go haywire because they particularly work on emotions and Azrael was an emotionless witch. So Nathaniel was definitely not the case.
No matter how strong Azrael was, putting a spying spell on her sister Azura was still impossible because their powers correlated, all thanks to their grandmother.
It would be impossible to put any kind of spell on Mr. Marino because only her magic worked on him because of the mark they shared and no other witch can use any kind of magic on him.
They also had Pluto on their team for this task, but if he was spying, they would’ve felt it, especially Nathaniel. Nobody knew about Caesar joining them apart from Pluto and herself because she was planning on using the dragon to -
Elliana froze in her place.
She looked at Azrael who had a soft smile on her face, the smile not reaching her eyes since she was an emotionless evil monster.
Elliana gulped before she shifted her gaze to her right hand, the cut on her hand that had ford because of trying to look for Azrael, and her location through that beach sand had healed completely, but...that black thing around her hand, the thing about controlling her negative emotions...
Nathaniel never told her if it was okay and she was cured.
There was no doubt. The person Azrael was using to spy through all their plots and future attacks was herself Elliana.
Her hands clenched by her side and she looked at her father who was sitting there with his body leaning back on the invisible wall. He looked so helpless and tired that it broke her heart to see him like this.
Her eyes brimd with tears before she took a shaky breath.
If this was the only way to save her father, to send this man back to the family that truly loved him, that yearned for him and craved his presence their entire lifeti, she wasn’t left with any choice anymore.
Her mother deserved to be loved by her husband, her half-brother deserved the love of his father. This man who sacrificed his life to save hers deserved to be loved.
Elliana smiled through her tears.
’Elliana, no. Don’t even think about it. You are in no position to try sothing like this. You are too weak,’ Circe widened their eyes.
Elliana closed her eyes with a sad smile.
"I am in every position to do it," Elliana whispered.
And as soon as she said that, Nathaniel’s pupils dilated when he realized he lost the grip on Elliana’s hand and the bond broke.
"Elliana!" Nathaniel shouted at the top of his lungs, scaring everyone.
"No. No. No. Elliana! Elliana! F*ck!" Nathaniel was about to stand from his place when Azura used her magic to put him in his place.
"No matter what happens, don’t leave your spots until she is back," Azura glared at her stepson.
"What happened?" Sebastian rushed to them, his gaze shifting from Nathaniel to Azura.
"It’s nothing. Elliana is using her bare hands to open a prism. It can be dangerous since she can cut her fingers, but who is supposed to tell that stupid girl," Nathaniel lied straight through his teeth, his gaze eting Azura who has an equally concerned expression.
