The awakening

Tracy sat immobile on hearing lucian's introduction and Lucian smirked at the sight of fear in her eyes

"Why are you here? Do you plan on killing me or do you want to use me as a weapon to unleash terror on the world? "Tracy questioned in fear.

"My dearest mortal, I have no plans of killing you... For now "Lucian answered and added,"as for the latter that is none of my concern. "

"Then what do you want from me? "Tracy asked standing up. She stared into his red glowing eyes which made her sense and overwhelming feeling of darkness and for the first time she felt him avert her gaze.

"You'll know... Soon enough but for now... Let's get you ready for your Awakening. "Lucian said changing the topic.

"Shit!"Tracy cursed. "It's almost midnight! "She had forgotten because of all the craziness . She was supposed to meet Alicia ."I'm never going to make it to the deepest part of the forest before midnight. "Tracy said in disappointment.

"Not if you have me. "Lucian retorted and in a blink of an eye he was right in front of Tracy. He effortlessly swept her off the ground causing Tracy to yelp and wringe her arms around his neck. "Hold on tight. "He advised and both of them vanished and instantly materialize in front of a dark and creepy tomb . He slowly and carefully dropped Tracy on the ground and they looked around the tomb.

" wow...you can teleport too? "Tracy asked in amazement.

"Teleport? "Lucien questioned raising a brow. "Is that what you mortals has call it now? "Lucian asked and Tracy bit her bottom lip trying really hard not to laugh.

"How about you call me my name... Tracy. "Tracy said with a forced smile but he suddenly stopped in his tracks and helds out a hand to halt Tracy's movement.

"Take three steps to the left," he whispered urgently, his eyes scanning the surroundings with keen alertness.

Confused but trusting his judgment, Tracy obediently complies, stepping to the left with hesitance. As she does so, a glint of metal catches her eye, and before she can process what is happening, a sharp, whistling sound fills the air. An arrow, swift and deadly, pierces the spot where she had been standing just moments before.

Wide-eyed and trembling, the woman turns to the man, a mix of disbelief and gratitude on her face. "How did you know?" she breathes, her voice barely above a whisper.

The man's expression is stoic, his gaze never leaving the trajectory of the arrow. "Years of training," he replies, his voice tight with barely contained tension. "We're not out of danger yet. We need to keep moving. Stay close, and trust me."

Just then a woman emerged from the darkness

"Alicia Leonard." Lucian called out slightly irritated. Tracy turned and her eyes fell on Alicia.

"The Prince of Persia." Alicia called out.

Alicia stood in shock seeing Tracy holding on solution and she tried to cast a spell. She taught Lucian had capture stressing and she wasn't going to let that happen, not under her watch.

"Emorae batose..."Alicia began the spell but Lucian cut her off before she could complete it.

"There'll be no need for that. "Lucian thundered. "You can have her "He said shoving Tracy to Alicia Lexi was some peace of notebook. Which caused Tracy to glare at him. First he had saved her then he shoved her off like a piece of thrash, she thought.

"You can get on with the awakening ritual... While I'm being nice. "He added the last part as a folded his hands and rest is back on a tree with one of his leg on the ground and the other on the tree's bark.

"What do you want? "Alicia asked in a bold tone not intimidated a bit. Tracy could sense her powerful aura.

"How about you get done with the ritual before asking me that? " Lucian remarked with an evil smirk.

"Okay then." Alicia agreed looking at the moon in its full glory. It was finally midnight-alicia began making some witchery drawings on the ground.

In the heart of the forbidden Forest, a hidden clearing set the stage for a mystical event. The elder witch, draped in dark robes embroidered with ancient symbols, stood with the intensity of a thousand burning suns. Her eyes were closed in deep concentration, hands outstretched towards Tracy.

Tracy, her face a mask of uncertainty and hope, knelt on the damp earth as tendrils of mist crept along the ground. Her powers had been dormant for far too long, a fact that had not gone unnoticed by the elder witch who had taken it upon herself to awaken the latent magic within the girl.

As the ritual began, the air crackled with energy, causing the leaves on the surrounding trees to shiver in anticipation.

" As anoixei to kanali tis dynamis sou... As anoixei to kanali tis dynamis sou..." Alicia Leonard chanted.The sky darkened as storm clouds gathered overhead, the rumble of thunder echoing in the distance.

A lone figure, a man cloaked in shadows, watched from the edge of the clearing. His gaze was unyielding, his expression unreadable as he observed the unfolding spectacle before him.

With a sudden burst of light, the elder witch's incantations reached a crescendo. The wind howled in response, whipping through the clearing with a ferocity that matched the power of the spell. Lightning split the sky, illuminating the scene in stark relief.

And then, as quickly as it had begun, the storm abated. Silence fell over the clearing like a heavy blanket, broken only by the ragged breaths of the two witches. The younger girl slowly rose to her feet, a newfound strength shining in her eyes.

Lucian stepped forward from the shadows, his expression softening as he beheld the transformation before him. Tracy's power had been restored, her connection to the magical realms rekindled by the elder witch's ritual.

In that moment, as the last echoes of thunder faded into the distance, a new chapter began for the chosen one.

IN ANOTHER REALM...

In a dimly lit room, Tracy cautiously approaches a mysterious pyramid at its center. The only source of light is a glowing orb perched atop the structure, casting an ethereal glow around the room. As Tracy hesitantly reaches out her fingertips to touch the orb, a sudden surge of energy courses through her body, sending her reeling backwards. She is thrown through the air, her body twisting and turning in a chaotic dance, before crashing onto the ground with a gasp.

"It is done."Alicia Leonard announced with a fulfilling smile ." And so are you ..."Lucian remarked before slitting her throat and licking the blood off the knife.

"NOOO!" Tracy yelled
