Chapter 222: _Someone Is Playing Games
The SUV finally dropped Kaelos and me in front of the meeting place of the leaders of Mexico City... which was a glass-spired skyscraper that brimmed with the power of magic protection wards.
This tower also had magic vines curling around the edges, and people walked past it casually while some took pictures in front of it.
Kaelos and I were led inside and then took an elevator that took us to the last floor. When we walked out, we saw a door at the end, and the walls of the hallways were filled with painted murals of powerful-looking men and women.
I recognised them from history books I’ve seen in Althea’s library back in the Luminary Coven.
These were witches with deep roots in ancient Aztec magic. Many were probably dead or retired by now.
Two guards stood in front of the door at the end and I was able to pick up the magic brimming from them.
Witches.
I glanced at Kaelos whose expression was stoic as we stepped forward. The guards made way, opening the door after staring at us for a second too long.
We walked into a dimly lit hall with a high ceiling and stained glass windows. It was mostly empty... apart from a high table up ahead where three people sat.
"Alpha King Kaelos." A woman who sat in the middle cleared her throat and spoke, her expression stoic. "Welcome. I’m High Priestess Luzia Velasquez, coven head of the Black Eye Coven and one of the leaders of Mexico City."
She looked to be in her late sixties and the wrinkles on her face made me feel like she’s probably lived through centuries.
