Quest Of Battle

Chapter 40

"What do you mean?"

Kayla asked waiting eagerly for Leinali to answer her only question.

"You take risks and let others be easily drown into you."

"Wait... wait... wait..."She said laughing. "I thought you were about to tell me that I'm tough and tricky but the way you are saying this is really confusing."

"Yes you are and I will need you to do a favour for me."

"Ok."

"Meet me after two weeks and will tell you what to do."

She said and left.

************
It was in the evening.

Everyone in the palace was in bed.
Not the immortals. Oh no.
Not even Zenith nor Ezra nor Leinali,Asia, Vail, Tyson;the other man whom Leila and the other girls met in the grand hall were asleep.

They were all awake investigating about Edgar's whereabouts.

"But you brutally banished Edgar. How will we find him now?"Asia asked Zenith.

"And is not that he's is even in  the second realm too."Tyson asked.

"He will come here and harm Leila."Zenith said."We must create a way not only to find Edgar,but to bring him to us."

Leinali who was pacing up and down suddenly had an idea.
She took an old book with so many pages from the book shelf and glanced through it.

She begun chanting, drawing attention from Zenith and the others.

The words hidden in the blank book started to appear.

"These are the protective spells which can shield any mortal from demonic people or spirits."Leinali said."Once we use this on them,they will be safe.... temporarily."

"And you think they will just allow that to happen?"Asia asked.

"They have to."Ezra cut her off."One way or the other."
He said referring to Kayla especially.

And with that, everyone looked at him.
"What?... Let's just go on with it."

"How about his sister? Won't she be a problem to us."Vail asked.

"She still likes Zenith and she will do anything to get him."Ezra replied teasingly and hit him on the shoulder.

"People can change. Sooner or later."Leinali verified.

*********

Days passed and already it had been two weeks since they came.

Leila's moves became much better whiles Kayla preferred being in the library reading books and creating cool gadgets on her phone.

As for Astha,she at times roamed around with Vail and it seemed things were working out as Kayla had said.

Lucy on the other hand, spent her days admiring the beauty of the palace and going out with Tyson.
On the first day she met him,she was his target.
Even though he wasn't human,he always kept his eye on her.

He always took her out and at times sit by her enjoying the cool breeze.
She smiling with no sort of sorrow nor bad emotions was his goal.

Who knew nature was so loving. As a blessing,she brought them closer.

"Leinali?"Kayla knocked."It's been two weeks now."

"Oh. Yes come in."
