I have come this far

Deep purple fumes gusts out of Iode's body, flowing out like endless river, he laid on the ground and groaned in pain. He was convulsing and writhing, he feels like something inside of him is getting sucked out.

"Shit, we're late, the ritual has commenced". Igor said with a grim expression.

"GAH!". Iode groaned loudly as he writhe.

The mountainous terrain he and the dark shadows were battling dispersed and he was returned to the ancient, damp and plant infested room.

"Good work, I stalled him long enough for the ritual to start". Myrtle said and joined the other four members of the dark magicians , chanting the spells together.

The deep fumes the seeps out of Iode's body became a violent surge of energy that shot out towards the sky and filled the entire room with dense power that made all except Myrtle unconscious, nonetheless, Myrtle continued with the ritual.

Iode's eyes have become entirely white, devoid of any eyeball of any sort. His body was lifted off the ground and floated till he almost reached the room's ceiling wall.

While Iode might have been writhing in pain on the outside, looking deep into him, towards the soul itself, Iode and Igor stood in silence.

"What are we going to do, are we just going to stay here till I die". Iode said with tension.

"Technically, since you have been brought here without dieing, you can still live again". Igor replied.

"What do you mean, what are you saying".

"I'm talking about reincarnation ". Igor replied.

"Reincarnation? Tch, I don't care, we have to do something, I don't want to die now, I'm still too young ". Iode yelled at Igor.

"I know, I know, with your body, we can't do anything, you have been rendered listless. However, there's one thing we can do, we can send an SOS signal for someone to trace ". Igor replied.

"A signal, but we can't send one with our magic power since this place is enchanted ". Iode said.

"True, however, it doesn't stop a celestial energy, if we send a signal using that, someone is bound to respond ". Igor said.

"But the person who might pick up the signal might be far away... wait, I just remembered, Anushka, she's the third successor of your sister, she could help me ". Iode said elated.

"Alright, release celestial energy and your _ our magic power into the environment ". Igor said.

Iode did as he said, he closed his eyes to focus and released the celestial energy within him and mix with it mana.

The dense purple energy that filled the room converged to form a ball of deep purple condensation that began to expand little by little as the time goes.

Suddenly, a yellow portal opened, surging lightening at it wake at all directions. Soon, people start to come out of it.

The first person that got out of the portal is a lady with blonde hair, white smooth skin, pristine yellow eyes, narrow sharp eye brows, flashy eye lashes and narrow shaped face. She wore a yellow robe with complicated yet beautiful patterns etched on it.

She looked in horror as she saw Iode writhing in pain and purple energy oozing out of him. Soon, another person came down from the portal, dressed in highly decorative purple gown, with long backward facing hair that reached the nape of the neck.

Archmage Averay frowned as he landed, soon, more people came from the portal, among them include a man with long backward facing jet black hair that reached his shoulders. He wore a red robe. Captain Harold and his squad also came and brigades from the blue tower.

Everyone that came from the portal paled as they saw Iode, but what made them even more stumbled was the one standing and conducting the ritual.

"Damnit, what did that boy do, how are they able to get this place, no one should be able to trace this place... unless, Anushka, she most have found this place using celestial energy, curse". Myrtle monologued.

"Magus Myrtle, what are you doing... You are the perpetrator doing these rituals all these years? Why". Archmage Averay asked with anger.

"Well it no use hiding it any longer ". With malicious smile, Myrtle continued saying

"I'm a member of the dark magicians, our organization have been into hiding in the shadows for millenniums, hiding away from the unforgiving terror of the people of the world.

We were persecuted and killed because of our ideology to make the world a better place by unifying all cultures to be one and have good rapport with the celestials".

"You people have long believed our esteemed organization have been plundered and nothing but a forgotten history.

However, unbeknownst to anyone of you, surviving members like me have thrive in the shadows for millennials cooking up ways to revive our cause. And now I have it, after the end of the Great war, our master, Zenobios Bruggen left clues as to how we can bring that to fruitation".

"I have come this far I can't let anyone destroy my plans". Myrtle said and a large dark expanse filled the room...
