Black Magic

Azaila chuckled and then said, "Even if the creature can get out of Elia's body without being discovered, it will definitely not be able to report to the master because will be destroyed by the magi of Mansion."

"You think so?"

"Is there any other possibility?''

Suddenly the pride inside Azaila was threatened.

"No. I agree with you. I'm just worried if there's another possibility."

Theria's remark made Azaila think of the little things she might have missed.

"In that case, I'll be back on guard," said Azaila, who then moved out quickly.

There is a gap to every thing that we think has been perfect and powerful, said inner Theria. I can feel it again, the black power that I haven't felt for a long time. The cycle of life definitely made the black magic able to come back to life. Bibi's ambitions interceded with Elia. That woman, what did she find out exactly? Why did she surrender herself to destruction?

The creature also played a role in Elia's failure to escape from Bibi. The parasite will make her obey like a puppet. Even if her mind and subconscious resist, Bibi's control over the creature is much stronger out there. Elia, who has not yet realized who she is, who is overwhelmed by fear, must often think negatively and make the creature stronger and stronger over her. Maybe this is why Melianor was able to see the black and white faceless creature of Elia, because of the split of perception. The creature manipulated many things from Elia's memory.

Theria then recalled his conversation with Melianor when Elia passed out after the tarot reading. That night, Melianor said, "She had a strong desire to resist, but her body could not be controlled by her. She is the key to fighting Bibi. Theria, I want you to help her fully accept herself, reality, her childhood, and everything that happened to her life. Help her to accept it all and build up a positive mind from within her, only in that way can we get the creature out of her body."

"When did you notice that there were parasites in her body?"

"Ever since I saw her. Her gaze was out of focus. The flush of light on the way into the Sunshine store must have already affected the parasite. She was restless in Elia's body, but could still bear it."

"Then why did you bring her here? It is tantamount to showing the enemy our location," Theria refused decisively.

"Not, if the creature died in Elia's body. The safest way to kill the creature was to put Elia into the Ruang Hampa. By entering there, Elia will compete with herself. Her mind will be more open to see who she really is and the reality she has always had. If she chooses to deal with it, this creature will be further weakened because she is unable to control the mind, subconscious, and also the body of Elia. Elia's will will kill the creature in Elia's body without Elia herself noticing, but if you haven't, you must kill the creature just as when it is trying to get out of Elia's body."

Melianor said all that without blinking. She didn't say there were two parasites in Elia's body.

"If Elia fails to get out of the Ruang Hampa or dies in there, the parasite also dies with her," said Theria, who felt Melianor's idea was beneficial but also at the same time complicating things because Elia came with Max.

"What about Max?"

Theria thought of the worst-case scenario.

"I'm going to deal with it and by then you have to stay away," Melianor said, "But I don't think it's necessary."

"Why can you rest assured?"

"She will not relent will strengthen her," Melianor looked at Elia who was not yet conscious.

Now, Theria saw Elia sleeping in the same room in a state of being cared for by Azaila the Healer. He observed the head of Elia tilted by Azaila.

"She'll be fine. The black blood that came out was the blood of the creature," Azaila told without lifting her face from Elia. "But I still need help..." Azaila looked at the hole in the nape of Elia's nape thoughtfully.

"How far did the parasite ruin it?"

"Food from the Heavenly Fields could soon restore it and the help of Grandma Insun would be even better," the short answer from Azaila the Healer was enough to let Theria know how severe the effects of the parasite were in Elia's body. Azaila became curious when the creature was in Elia's body.

"I've sent a message."

"Oh I can see him, this is the first time he has come out of the Mansion, are you sure he can get there safely?"

"He's a smart little bird."

"It's a pity that little bird. I've been wanting to wander the outside world for a long time," Azaila seemed to be talking about a patient who was about to die but wanted a longer life.

A few moments ago before Theria again observed Azaila who was attaching a potion to the hollow nape of Elia, he went to the Sunshine Shop to send a message to Max. Afterwards he also released a messenger bird. The little bird he named the Cloud Wing.

"Cloud Wings is special, what can it be made of, its privileges make it able to go out only when carrying out missions."

Azaila the Healer smiled.

"I talk to him a lot. He recounted everything he did in the past. Then one day he looked different. He said, I'll be out soon! you must also be prepared! At first I thought he would just tell him another of his experiences, but apparently he was talking about something to come. I was pretty slow to notice. It was his behavior after saying it that resuscitated me. He already sensed that a task was coming to him soon. He became quiet. At that time, I felt that I was facing an ascetic."

Theria understood what Azaila the Healer was talking about. Just now when he encountered Cloud Wings, the little bird was ready.

"So you already know?"

Theria was happy and at the same time sad when he said it to the Cloud Wing. The little bird nodded. Theria then did not make small talk, he conveyed what the Cloud Wing had to do immediately. Before Cloud Wings came out of his room, he turned to Theria and said, "I'll be back with her, soon."

Theria still remembers the cheerfulness of the Cloud Wing when he received the task. "Though the task is not easy, he is very happy," Theria muttered.

Azaila the Healer responded, "That's because he finally felt the function of his existence. He is happier to carry out dangerous missions than to stay in the palace, that's how Cloud Wings is."

Azaila the Healer had just finished gluing the potion and bandaging Elia's neck with a special cloth.

"How long will the recovery take?"

"Since she hasn't had time to manage her Golden Chi then this will take a long time, maybe three weeks or a month. If Grandma Insun comes to help, I think it can be faster," Azaila said while tidying up her equipment. She put it on the bedside table.

"I'll stay in this room to keep an eye on her," Azaila said.

"Thank you and I'll visit her often," Theria said.

"Now, what are you going to do? You don't think it will help her recover from the outside do you?"

Theria's gaze curled. "I thought of the idea," Theria replied.

"If you do you know the risks, you have to consider the extent to which you want to be attached to it," Azaila said, she moved to sit down to the medieval sofa that was in the middle of the room.

The atmosphere has been cold since Azaila said it. The healer burned her signature cigarette. The smell of smoke is like rose incense. From her seat she observed Theria's expression.

If he did, he would have been connected to Elia for a lifetime. He would know what Elia was doing even if he was in the world out there. It's exactly the same as what happened to Melianor and Max. To this day they have an inner bond because of it. Azaila snorted, even though Melianor's heart and mind were entirely centered on Theria. She never revealed it clearly. What a complicated relationship.

"This room from the middle ages has not changed. Those times we are filled with a wide variety of works of art that are closely related to ancient Greek and Roman culture. This room still has its peculiarities," Azaila said to divert her own thoughts.

Theria moved towards Azaila.

"Since you like it, we keep this room."

Azaila smiled.

"Last time I came here was also to take care of her. At that time she fainted and we talked about those parasites in her body, didn't we?"

Theria nodded.

"The two of them finally managed to get out of the Ruang Hampa and undergo a change," Azaila did not speak to Theria. She uttered it as she turned to look at Elia who was lying down.

Theria also added nothing to the words made only to deduce the series of comings of Elia from the beginning until that moment.
