Chapter 217: Sacrifices To Make
During Night time, Madeline was back in the palatial building as promised, and Napoleon was forced to listen to the discovery she had found in the secret library passage. Unfortunately, Osvaldo had important meetings to handle for him, else, he would have handed her to his brother who was of great advantage when it came to this kind of thing.
"The patterns on the wall rhymed with the patterns on my husband’s back. I couldn’t believe it for a minute or two, but after proper inspection, they looked similar." She said, sounding amused and wondering how Late Williams got to know about it.
"Are you done?"
"No." Madeline quickly answered since she had more to say, but when she noticed his furry brows narrow in disdain, she quickly cleared her throat and changed her sentence.
"I mean... yes."
Napoleon finally sat up straight. "How something similar ended up in Cassian’s back has nothing to do with me. It’s something only your Mother can answer if she was here, or better still, ask whoever gave him such a mark. But what I can tell you is this, what you saw are important magical patterns your Mother carved to the walls so she wouldn’t forget them."
Napoleon could still remember how she spent most of her time in that secret passage, carving things to the wall. "If you looked close enough, she carved something else, and it’s a hand pattern that you need to practice in order to unleash the barrier spell. Your Mother carved it in case she forgot, but who knew her old methods would benefit you in the future."
Madeline’s eyes instinctively widened, "you mean, the barrier spell is in that passage?"
"You heard me the first time." He deadpanned at her, "but doing the barrier spell, you need to be aware of something." The way his expression contorted into full seriousness, made Madeline’s heart beat for a second.
"What?" She dared to ask.
"The barrier spell is known to be a cleansing spell, it wipes off the creature including every other thing related to it, Fiends, and even Vampires. They all relate with the creature, Ekiminus."
