Chapter 142: A Lot More To Do
"Do you know what this is Lydia?" Alexandra asked the maid.
Alexandra held out her hand. A ball of blue flame was burning in her hand. But the flame didn’t affect her or her clothes and hair.
She held the vine that entwined around the archway and the plant caught on fire. The blue flame spread across quickly even though it was a fresh plant, and the archway started to burn blue with the flame.
But miraculously, the plant was not getting burnt. There was no smoke or awful smell. The leaves waved as if they were getting caressed by the breeze. The fire looked cool but felt warm; not hot. And it instilled fear on anyone who set their gaze on it.
The Dark Mage held inside the cage, started to scream unable to bear the intensity of light in front of him. He has never seen her like this.
This flame... how could she handle it?
Lydia looked at the woman in front of her glowing like a torch of silvery flame. She didn’t dare to stand for she knew where she has seen this type of flame.
In the Temples, only the creator—The Dragon King would be holding this flame as depicted in the paintings. It was said that no one could handle this flame since it is a divine flame that purges evil. And everyone has evil in them so no one would be worthy to handle this flame except for the creator.
That’s what she was told.
"This... This is the...the Holy Flame..." Lydia said with her eyes wide. She wondered if she is in the presence of the Dragon King himself.
Alexandra nodded with a chuckle. And then her attention turned to Theodora.
"Riddle me this, Theodora," Alexandra spoke softly and yet it induced fear in the heart of Theodora and terror showed in her face. Her knees went weak and she knelt on the ground. Theodora was in contact with the dark mage for a long time and she has a dark soul. She wouldn’t like the flame of purification.
