Chapter 204: The Place That Shouldn’t Have Existed
Annalise let out a deep sigh for the nth time throughout the day as she suddenly looked up and found a grim sky staring back at her. Dark clouds were filling the entire sky with no hint of any sunlight, and while it seemed like it might rain anytime soon, she could tell that there won’t be one coming anytime soon.
Once again she realized that it was nothing other than her powers that were telling her about the exact possibility of the rain but she tried to not think about it too much. Just like mentioned before, she was neither ready nor willing to accept certain realities that had recently bombarded her peaceful and simple life.
People, or anyone who knew her, might consider her a coward for running away from these realities and ignoring them despite the fact that she kept facing them time and again, but their opinion could not make her change her plan.
She might be behaving like a stubborn kid who’s desperate to run from reality but she needed time to cope with everything that was going on in her life recently. And a couple of days was not enough days for her to get any peace or rest.
"When did you find out about this secret place?" She asked the little lion as her gaze moved to look at the magical bubble inside which all the little pixies were captured - another example of just how powerful her magic was.
Recently, she had been unconsciously performing powerful spells that she never actually practiced or learned before. It seemed like as long as she knew what she exactly wanted to do clearly in her mind, her powers performed the exact spell without her even needing to cast one.
After all this, she had no doubts that she had no ordinary magic and her powers also had nothing to do with her... parents, neither the Grand Duke nor the Grand Duchess had more than ten percent of Seelie bloodline when combined while Annalise alone held more than that but she wasn’t clear just how much.
The little snow lion jumped down from the rock and inched closer to her before taking a place on her lap as if the two of them hadn’t been questioning each other’s loyalty and bravery just a couple of moments ago.
"At the very same time I felt the energy surging beneath the castle. But unlike the basement where I slinked inside while one of the dark faes was going to check on the core, I wasn’t able to come anywhere near this place. There was no one who could take the ward down for me to enter." It answered her question truthfully.
Annalise looked around her surrounding as she wondered exactly what sort of magical place they were currently locked into. She tugged on her powers and felt them reacting to her summon immediately. She let her powers inspect through the area around her and found out exactly how far those lands were spread.
