Chapter 263: Blood Ritual
—-
In an old fortress several miles away from every kingdom known, Carmela stood hidden in a shadowy chamber, a sinister gleam displaying in her hazel eyes as she came to a daring decision. Getting across the borders of GreenHollow had been challenging for her and her minions, because no matter how they tried, or what tactics she used, they always found her people.
In order to become more powerful than her enemies, and to avoid the wrath of their fire, she must aim to push her magic to new depths, whilst she sat before her table, emanating an aura that described the length of the malevolent deed she was about to partake in.
She had mentally prepared herself for this, and most of all, she had Marius’s unconditional support, so there was no going back once she began.
"You can do this." She emboldened herself.
Before her, the ancient spellbook lay open, its pages filled with dark incantations and maleficent symbols that glowed with an otherworldly light. Concurrently, she had no qualms about the consequences of her actions; the power she sought was worth any price. Once she gains those powers, everyone who ever looked down on her will be forced to bow at her feet and plead for mercy, she will make each and everyone who abandoned her come begging for their pathetic lives.
The mere thought of this was already starting to get Carmela excited, but she knew she needed to be fully focused in order to make this work.
"Where is it?"
Taking a deep breath to regain her bearing, she clutched a goblet filled with noxious concoction, its ingredients drawn from the most forbidden realm, and all these wouldn’t have been possible if Marius never offered a helping hand. He has been more than helpful to her plans concerning world domination, and things were slowly starting to come into place.
