Black wings

Chapter 19

I DON'T OWN PICTURE

"What?" Crowd ask in shock while Ivy stare the elder Nylian. "She admit what she had done in this letter." He explain and stare at Ivy. She feel rage roar inside her chest and wind start to raise sand around her. She grit her teeth. "She has escaped?" She growl and her eyes start to chance gold. Nylian swallow. "She has blamed some dark fairy for killing her parents. We had tried to make her drop the revenge without succeed. "So she attacked innocent fairy?" She snap and wind get stronger, she feel how her fairy teeth come forward. "Please calm down Stormborn! I will explain everything about her after that." He plead and glance around worried, warriors has drawn out their weapons.

Ivy growl but know that Nylian's information is important and Elsie didn't want her to murder innocent fairies. She close her eyes and force the magic back. She take couple deep breaths and managed to get herself under control again. After she is sure that she control herself properly again, she open her eyes. "I'm listening." She say coldly. He sigh in relief. "Flora was orphan. Some humans take her in when she was a baby and raise her to teenager. Then war spark. Her father has to go in battle. He never returned. His friend brought the message of his death. He said that they lost because of famous warrior, Red Wolf. He was on other side and lead them to victory. That message broke her mother and she start to fade. After six months she died too. I found her after that and brought her home." He tell her.

Ivy swallow and feel shiver run down her spine. Red Wolf is her old alias. "Why she is so sure her parents was killed by dark fairy?" She ask. "Even us hear rumors about him. He fought over two decades in different wars. No ordinary man could have done it. Then our seer got a vision. She told us and she overheard that Red Wolf is a dark fairy. Someone who will either bring great destruction or be savior of the world." Ivy feel like someone has punched her in gut. "She blame that fairy for her parents death? They might not even killed her father and never even met her mother." She argue. He sigh sadly. "We tried to tell her that. She stubbornly blame them for that. Her heart is consumed by rage and revenge. Only thing I can say that we are truly sorry about your aunt. She didn't deserve that. We will find Flora and make sure that she will be punished." Nylian assure her.

Ivy take a deep breath in again. "If you can send her a message or meet her, tell her that person she is looking for is me, Ivy Stormborn. I was Red Wolf, I am the person she blame. If she want to come after someone she can come after me. If it help you to bring her back, tell her that I was too consumed by rage on that time and she shouldn't follow that path. It is dark and lonely." She tell them and turn around. "You? Wait Stormborn!" She stop and peek over her shoulder to Nylian. "If we tell her that she will probably come after you. You need this." He say and for warriors horror he throw pouch to her. She grab it and frown. 

"It contain antidote to fairydust. I have only one plea in exchange." Ivy frown. "Don't kill her. She is just lost girl who has seen too much pain." "I will do my best but I don't give you any guarantees." She answer and put the pouch in her breast pocket. "Oh, did she mention what group she joined?" Nylian frown and read the letter quickly. "Basilisk, they call themselves Basilisk." She nod as thanks. "One more thing, say to that girl I used that I am sorry. I didn't ever planned to harm her." She say and rush toward barrier.

Ivy run toward barrier and it open before her, she run through the spot and it close behind her. "Basilisk, never heard of it." She murmur to herself and stop to think. She decide to try and find Flora before she get to the humans. She start to run around the area and found her trail after half hour. She start to follow it. "She clearly isn't very experienced to run in forest." She mumble under her breath while following clear trail. She start to hear speaking and footsteps after some time and slow down. She circle around while moving toward noise. She peek between trees and her breath hitch in her throat. There is three black SUVs already and one orange haired girl jump in one of them. There is basilisk symbol on sides of cars.

Ivy force herself to stay in her spot while SUVs start to drive away. She wait as long as she could and jump in air. She burst her wings in view and fly up. She look around and summon water to make her invisible before she fly after them. She tail them for hours. Eventually they start to approach city of Alta in Norway. "Shit." She curse and speed up to get in the city before them. She flop on ground and pull back her wings. She keep her invisibility spell on because her armor would catch lots of attention. She follow the SUVs as well as she could but eventually they disappear. She try to look them around and even fly around the city but didn't find them again. 

"Nonononononono, this can't be happening." Ivy plead desperate and run around city for hours without succeed. "FUCK!" She scream and kick the empty bottle in shore. She flop on sand and stare at the sea. "I am such a idiot." She whisper and first tear slide on her cheek. She wipe it angrily away but soon second one follow, then nothing could stop them. She cry silently in shore. Her past just couldn't leave her alone. She can't run for it, no matter how hard she has tried. Her mistakes has come after her. "What am I going to do?" She whisper and grab her head between hands. "I don't know what I should do?" She whimper.

Then big wave brush her boots. She blink the tears away to see better when second wave wash over them again. She sob and wipe her eyes. She reach her right hand toward next wave. It caress her hand gently, oddly warm. She let out a laugh. "I will try to find my way Elsie, I promise." She whisper when next wave brush her hand and boots last time. She stand up and weak smile form in her lips. "I will find my way." She say more sternly and turn back toward city. First she bought some clothes and chance in them. Then she bought meal for herself, rent a room from hotel and take a proper sleep. In morning she will try to investigate as much as she can before the party.
