Magical orb

Everyone headed outside with anticipation of getting ready to fight off the enemies. Lina gulped when she saw the number of those pale looking creatures, what did he call it again? Dr…do…drones, Lina remembered

Everyone drew out their swords from their swords' pocket and went into the crowd of those drones fighting them, it seemed like they came more prepared because they were stronger.

Lina was having a hard time fighting those drones, as she killed those creatures more came after her, she was fighting the one in front of her that she forgot the one behind her, suddenly a great force pulled her waist towards him. It was Lyle saving her from being stabbed

"I didn't ask for your help" Lina found herself fighting off his tight grip, Lyle as usual ignored her as he still held onto her while fighting of those drones. Lina didn't need to be told that this demon wouldn't let her go so she helped him to fight the drones.

Lyle swirled with her, fighting with those in front, left side, right side and back at the same time. He was really good. He didn't even seem like he was in a real battle. Lina looked up and saw Levi, Raven, Lucian and three other huge men fighting the drones of. Levi smiled at her and she smiled back.

Lyle noticed Levi and Lina but he chose to ignore, he fought fiercely against the drones "I'm done with this" Peres the immortal thundered and wings majestically grew from his back causing him to fly, though not very high "move away" Peres ordered

"don't!" Lyle screamed already knowing what he planning to do but it was too late.

Peres breathed fire and burned all the drones at once. Lina stood still gazing at Peres, he was more than she imagined, she swallowed deep

"I told you not to do it" Lyle fired, Lina still in his grip, Peres landed gracefully and his majestical wings went inside to where Lina couldn't see

"why did you do it" Lyle asked "you should be grateful that I took care of these things quickly" Peres said nonchalantly and headed inside.

Lina still couldn't register what just happened outside In her little brain. She sat on the sofa in the sitting room as instructed by prince Lyle.

Lyle sat comfortably on the sofa as he brought out a something that looks like an orb from his bag which was handed to him by one of the maids. "A magical orb" Pearl muttered

"Lina this concerns you" Lyle started "the magical orb has the power to allow only witches to view all part of the world in order to locate things and people" Lyle paused and continued

"This orb should be the most important thing to you, without this we can't locate our enemies, take it" he commanded and Lina took it from him, she looked at the heavy looking orb and smiled inwardly.

Lyle and Lina went to Lina's room, "locate the drones" Lyle ordered and Lina placed her hand on the orb, her eyes shone white as soon as she placed her eyes on the orb, her eyes search for pale looking creatures but found none, there was some places she couldn't access which was quite strange, she pulled her hands from the orb and faced Lyle

"I couldn't see the drones" Lina complained "you are a royal witch so you have the power to locate all places on the orb" Lyle couldn't get why she couldn't see the drones

"except…" he paused "except what?" Lina asked curiously "except if the royal queen has a hand in this" Lyle looked at her and she unconsciously took some steps backwards

"What do you mean that queen Esther, my mom has a hand in this?" Lina asked unable to comprehend what he was saying "yes! The royal queen has the greatest power and she could restrict someone from viewing some places in the orb" Lina was shocked

"My mom has nothing to do with this Lyle, she is good and wouldn't want to cause harm" Lina said "you can never underestimate anyone" Lyle replied

"leave my mom out of this, she has nothing to do with this" Lina continued

"If your mom is involved in this then consider her dead because I won't even spare a minute of her life" Lyle said and Lina broke down in tears, Lyle abruptly left her room and she continued crying.

Later in the evening;

Lina composed herself as she went for dinner, she sat and ate in silence. "Where are they located?" Pearl asked, Lina was quiet as she looked at Lyle for help but Lyle didn't spare her a look

"I… I couldn't lo…locate them" Lina stammered "why couldn't you locate them?" Gina asked "I don't kno…" she { Lina } hadn't finished speaking when Lyle interrupted

"There seems to be a greater force not allowing us to locate them" Lyle said still looking at his food "what is the greater force?" Peres asked

"the royal queen of the witches is on their side helping them" Lyle said without even considering Lina who was eating vinegar.

"The royal queen is on their sides?" Pearl asked looking at Lina "I…I" Lina couldn't say anything "we are not yet sure but they are higher chances that she is helping them out" Lyle finally acknowledged Lina "thanks for meal" Lina said and left for her room

Lina paced from one point of her room to another, finally she leaned on the door and her body sank to the floor 'could it be? Her mom supporting the drones?!'

It can't be her mom, never!. She stood up and went to her bed and sat.

Suddenly the door opened, and Lyle entered inside, he sat on the bed beside her

"they are still chances that your mom isn't involved in this" Lyle explained, why would he want to explain to her when he told everyone that her mom was involved

"I know my mom, she would never do this" Lina said looking at Lyle straight in the eyes. Her heart jumped into her mouth when she saw his ocean blue eyes, she gulped and what happened next came so quick

Lyle leaned his head on hers and their nose almost touching, "the devil was once an angel, the good can turn bad" he said and he straightened his head.
