Dark Blaze

Chapter 8

Aerline gleed as she holds the book and the bag at last. As they walk to the exit, Aerline aquiver from hunger and tiredness. A shadowy figure appeared in front of them, little particles starts to form into a deep blue girdle. It was the Queen, kindly smiling with an ethereal optimism to them and with a deep blue gaze upon them. The Queen graze her shoulder then heave towards them saying with a calm tone "Why do not crave for staying here in my home, my peerless paramour?". "My Queen, my maiden could not stay here for too long" he bowed then he raised his head back. The Queen's clarion accent voice echoed through the short hall. "Oh really? Why not," she asked once more and then Kristinov nodded while telling her that Aerline honestly did not prefer staying in the tower. Aerline nodded as well telling that she does not want to stay in the dark tower for too long with starvation and uncertainty. The Queen smiled at her then apace towards Aerline. Stroked her darkling hair saying "Be my troth that I will gyre the gloom away" she whispered. Nigh at the Queen, she can smell a foul-smelling corpse and a floriferous that she could not understand the scent - like both of that scents mixed up with one another. The glimpse of the Queen change the color of her iris into crimson and then nodded unhurriedly. A speck of dust she breathes from the Queen which makes her nod or followed her every word.

A cockcrow will arise a few hours for now. Aerline fell unconscious illicit to Kristinov's hand. Kristinov lift his maiden by using his arms and laid her on the floor after lifting her to hit upon a comfortable floor to lay her body above it. Her head is supine above the ceiling as well all of her body and eye doze out from the Queen's spell. Queen Talina adores Kristinov's weakling maiden. Her sturdy blue eyes gaze at Kristinov while he sticks his body to guard Aerline. The Queen strolled towards him. Whispered to his nigh shoulder saying "Pray thee not to make my paramour blue, understand?". Kristinov gazed at his Queen then nodded. Talina kissed his shoulder lenity and slink away with her shadows - not able to see if she really strolled away.

Kristinov went outside to complete his few tasks while lifting his maiden to his steed - knowing guarding her up will be barely lost his time. Kristinov put his maiden on his lap while his left hand held her waist to not to fall. The Nefarious Queen watched them through the tower's window as they dash away. Lucent rays above supernal and clouds like fluffy limn. Traveled to the lea hills and brumous swamps while Aerline was as slumber. Tall trees nigh niveous mountains and little flowers that sprout with floriferous above and below. Too bad Aerline did not see this beautiful view. Kristinov's hand prevails needing to have rest. Aerline was light to him but in the long journey to get there, his hands were starting to feel weary. His new quest was to get the venom from Elíße's blood. The mother of all spiders hiding in the darkling deep caves. Elíße on the darkest night showed up to find prey, letting her spiders bestrew upon each land to uncover prey. Hides as the aurora rise and feed her babies with human flesh. The Mother of Spiders is the creation from Lilith that made her back to the old ages when Talina was not there yet. Talina guided Kristinov to get there using an orb to communicate with him and guide him. Birch trees along the side, the sun was about to sleep and the gloaming sky appears again.

They are here and Aerline is still asleep. Kristinov slightly slips her down to his steed's saddle gently ere getting down. The darkling knight heard a susurration nigh the bushes and tried to check what it is. Talina betokens him to proceed and going there will be a waste of time. In doing so, he followed the Queen's order. As he enters the darkest cave again but there are a lot of glowy webs above and below. He cast magic to his blade to lit to see inside the darkness. Lumber ahead to prevent waking the spiders sleeping in a web-like cocoon-like it was their gate. Mephitic ground with leftover flesh and ichor as he stepped in with the mix of their web.

Suddenly he heard a loud thump afar and he followed that sound holding his glaive. The gut he can fight it because he received a few powers from the Queen to eliminate Elíße but she will arise soon after she is slain. He saw a dark shadowy human figure as he gets closer. His light starts to flicker which is the presence of his newest enemy. "How dare you to come here, beshrew thee!" Elíße yelled.
