Bloody Moon (Halifax Series III)

Chapter 40

Nagmamadaling binuhusan ni Aira ng tubig ang umaapoy na halaman. She tried sucking the plant's essence by transferring it no a rock but it did not go well.

Pagod niyang ninunit ni ang papel kung saan niya inilista ang iba't-ibang mahika na akala niya magagamit niya para sa kondisyon ni Yukill. She tried everything she knew pero wala pa rin siyang sagot.

Akala niya kapag nalaman na niya kung paano ilipat ang presensya ng isang buhay na bagay then maybe she can figure out how to put it back too. And she's hoping that by practicing it on a plant, she could perfect that spell and used it to cure Han and Yukill. Pero parang imposible ata ang naiisip niya. She have been practicing eversince she got her in Robustos pero hindi talaga niya malipat ang presensya ng halaman sa ibang bagay. She she just ended up killing the plant.

Sighing, she bit her lower lip in frustration. She's not even sure if this spell is legal or safe. She have never heard or seen someone do this pero wala na siyang ibang maisip na paraan.

She knew they are not dead. Their groans of pain is the evidence. Pero hindi rin nila maramdaman ang presensya ni Han o ni Yukill. So it just means it's not in there body anymore. It's the only answer she could think of. Pero hindi rin niya alam paano iyong nangyari. Kung pagbabasehan niya ang basic rules of magic, imposible iyong mangyari. If you want to take something, you must give something in return.

But they're using dark magic. Everything is possible if you have dark magic.

Still annoyed and disappointed, lumapit siya sa dalang bag at kumuha ng prutas. It's her last fruit so she savoured it. Kanina pa siyang madaling araw nag-iinsayo ng mahika, pilit na naghahanap ng lunas sa isang spell na wala naman siyang sapat na kaalaman. At ngayon, mataas na ang sikat ng araw, ilang halaman na rin ang namatay sa eksperimento niya pero wala pa ring resulta.

She's so disappointed with herself that she wanted to cry. But instead of doing so, binabasa na lang niya ulit ang bigay na papel ni Hawthorn. Maybe she missed something.

After rereeding the whole thing, kinuha niya ang huling halaman. She need to make this spell count dahil ilang araw na naman ang lilipas bago siya makakapag-insayo ulit. Nauubos na kasi ang mga halaman kakukuha niya. Hindi naman pwedeng puno ang gamitin niya dahil masyadong matanda ang life-essence ng mga kahoy dito.

She wrote her magic circle on the ground using an ordinary stick for what feels like the hundredth time that day.

After perfecting the lines and curves, kinuha niya ang halaman at ilalagay na sana niya ito sa pangalawang magic circle ng makaramdam siya ng parang may nakatitig sa kaniya mula sa likuran.

The hair on her neck stood, lately she have been feeling like someone is either following her or spying on her.

She slowly looked back expecting to see something. Pero puro puno at damo lang ang nakikita niya. She surveyed the surroundings once again until she's safistied na mag-isa lang siya.

Blowing a loud breathe, she turned around to her magic circle but she took a step back dahil sa gulat ng makita si Lumina na nakatayo malapit doon.

The last time she properly got a good look at her was when she was escaping Robustos. It had been months but still she looked breath taking with her blond hair flowing along the wind. Like other werewolves, she's well-built but her muscles were very lean and not bulky unlike Harper. She's tall, she's beautiful and she's glaring at her right now.

"You have the guts to come back?" She sneered and her whole face changed. From this beautiful goddess she looked like a beast ready to kill.

Agad pinalibut ni Aira ang mata niya, searching for anything she could used against her if she ever attack her but at the same time, she's carefully eyeing Lumina in cased she jumped at her.
