Chapter 68: Favourably Disposed

Urchin saw the greedy and lustful past of the supernatural. When Urchin came around his view and it was full of huge elegant room. He wondered inside the palace and saw Daleth monitoring the knight and the butlers. Urchin approached and inquired about Cyrus. Daleth was surprised to hear that the kid was not looking for his team mates but is more eager to see King Cyrus. Nonetheless Daleth informed the young boy of Cyrus Radney's location. Urchin requested for his presence. Daleth flashed on the archive that Urchin is seeking him.

Cyrus and Zayin continued to manage and monitor the men to help and aid when the archive portrayed a sign of hope for them. Cyrus cannot deny Urchin's reliability and credibility when it comes to unknown and unexpected events. He sometimes wonder if the soul within Urchin is an old age. Zayin noticed the relief in Radney's face. When Cyrus immediately asked them to get back on the palace he know that there will be answers to their question. Cyrus always had that expression when things are about to be wrapped up.

Kiel is getting frustrated they had opened all the door but they can't find the ladies. Kiel is concern about the supernatural detecting his wife's bloodline. He had heared it countless times that their are demons who are obsessed, envious and greedy of the lineage that is not something to be proud of. Hexel noticed Natilina's hairpin on a narrow passage. They trailed the said passage but it was a dead end.

Nevi can feel the stress arising from the three. They are worried of their wife's whereabouts. This is a first for him to saw such blood spilled as if it's normal to take someone's life. Hexel knew better that their stress, worry and frustration is not helping but he understood where it is coming from.

Lehi saw a woman's garment inside the cabinet. A family picture and a diary writen in a an old paper. Lehi gave it to Natalina and she casted a topaz to secure it. The presence suddenly gave them the creep. They can hear the foot step getting closer. They hid within the covered things. Natalina and Jacinth stayed under the organ. Lila and Lehi entered the cabinet. The dark aura caused a nerve-wracking and nail-biting experience. Natalina can feel her jaw tremble as the being stood in front of them. Jacinth covered her mouth and wiped her tears. Lehi and Lila hugged each other when the woman started to raise everything mid air. Natalina and Jacinth were exposed. The woman laughed creepily. She tried to harm them but Lehi and Lila appeared in front of the woman. Lehi begun to pray and declare.

"Our Father who is greater and more powerful than anyone. We believe that the outcome of today's battle will be victory. I hereby asked Your aid to turn this comb into a weapon that will deliver this individual. We glorify and exalt You. Amen."

Lehi's comb became a lengthy pipe with thorns. It got soaked in oil and her coal shoes became a strap with blades. Lehi started cutting and swinging the dark aura and it's vanishing. Natalina also prayed for bow made of pearls and beryl. She also got clothed with armour made of silver and bronze. She aided Lehi to dispose of the aura.

Lila tranported Jacinth inside tha palace and saw Zayin, Daleth, Cyrus and Urchin currently having their discussion. Daleth embraced Jacinth when she stood with Lila alive. Lila informed them about the dairy handed by Natalina and the combat going on. Cyrus instructed Lila to wait for her team mates to arrive. They just called them.

The woman forcefully grab Natalina's nude hair and started biting them. Lehi tried to distract the woman by stricking her on the back but the woman just snapped her hand and Lehi got thrown on the wall, to the cieling and to the floor. Natalina took her arrow and used it to cut the part the woman is biting thankfully her hair got cut passing her shoulder. The woman continued to devoured her hair. Natalina helped Lehi to stood up when the woman snap her hand and started to toy with Lehi mid air. She then threw her to the window and it broke. Lehi was able to hold on the edge of the window. Natalina is running toward her when the woman started sweeping her on the floor as she hummed. Lehi is barely hanging on, the woman chuckled at her unpleasantly and she got herself thrown in the middle of the sea. Natalina screamed Lehi's name when the woman started to bend her body backwards.

Ophir and the boys arrived at the palace and saw Lila and Jacinth. Aleph hugged Jacinth, all his worry had been washed away. Kiel felt the same seeing his wife. Kiel was about to hug Lila. When Cyrus spoke,

"you need to accompany Lila back to the attic and rescue Lehi and Natalina."

Lila opened the portal and they got transported inside the attic. As soon as Lila escorted them she got back at the palace as Cyrus instructed.

When they appeared they saw Natalina on the floor screaming and crying in pain as her body started bending. Her pain is accompanied by an eerie laugh and roar.

The woman with dark aura is enjoying the torment she's inflicting. Ophir surveyed the surrounding and Lehi is not around.

Hexel and Nevi attacked the woman and Natalina's body stretch back to normal. Nevi can see her movements. He countered her every attack. Hexel backed him up with his sword but the woman broke Hexel's sword in half. Nevi and Hexel got plunged into the side. Natalina informed Ophir and Kiel about Lehi getting thrown by the woman on the window. When they checked the window. They saw a vast forest and was unable to pin point where would Lehi be. Ophir and Kiel grunted in frustration. How will they find Lehi in this vast forest?
