Penelope Eckhart, a name which screams villainess for a story and is a villainess in the game but what would you do if you find yourself into her shoes?
Fight?
Submit?
Give up?
Or will you decide to screw everyone who had done unjust to you?
Well...
Thankfully Winter didn't questioned me anymore than that and other than us being in a cave everything is fine! Please mind the sarcasm here because nothing was fine and from what I knew, the duke, Derrick and Reynold were all in danger. I hate to be right but this feeling that I got from here was undoubtedly forbidden magic. That was never good.
Winter: Can you explain a bit?
Me: Not really. I don't know much about her.
Winter: I see...
Me: Please, I know that you and your kids are safe but the Eckhart family is in danger.
Winter: Why do you care so much about them?
Me: I don't but that magic she is gonna use is forbidden magic.
He looked at me in a weird way. Of course everyone would look at me like that because who would think that I actually know a bit about magic. Well I do know the magic of my time and not really this one. The magic I use didn't need an incantation or anything like a spell. All it took was thinking about it and knowing about the physics behind it. In my case that meant studying magic circles until I knew them in and out and didn't need to actually say nor draw anything anymore.
Winter: What is forbidden magic.
Me: Sacrificing magic.
Winter: Sacrificing?
Me: Yes. I felt it on her earlier... Did you not feel that dark sticky energy around her?
Winter: No.
Me: Oh....
We continued making our way down further into this cave until we came into a huge room like place in it. Of course me and Winter started to hide looking at what was going on but something was definitelly going to go very very wrong.
Winter: Laila.... no....this is bad....
You don't say Sherlock...
You don't say...
We looked at them a bit more and could see all the family members of the Eckharts there but it didn't look good for them. Every signle one was awake and screaming at Ivonne. The duke was begging her to remember, Reynold was screaming at her to release them and Derrick was just trying to get her to her senses but from what I sensed earlier that aura was definitelly not normal. I can't really describe it but it felt heavier as if there was a layer and a veil on her. I didn't know what exactly it was but it was definitely poison to the human mind.
I was watching everything but Winter was the one who acted immediately and got out to fight them. It seemed as if Laila meant something to him or described something I didn't know about. Anyways I didn't care much and looked at Winter who was fighting them all until Ivonne was actually starting to do something.
Me: Oh no you don't!
Without really thinking, I stood up and started walking towards her. There was one thing I could do and that was play with time around. If I was about to do what I intended to do then I really needed to start chanting.
Me: Duo potentissimi bellatores sunt patientia et tempus.
Some magic cricles started to form around me as a protective barrier was raised as well. This was a benefit about time wizards. No one could hurt us while we were chanting as time tiself was standing still around us while we would do it. It was like a bubble of time where nothing was going forward until every signle last bit of the chanting fell into place.
Me: Sed mihi crede, mi puer, nihil his duobus fortius est: patientia et tempore omnia facient.
Winter was doing some damage but there were just too many people for him to defeat. There was no way he would manage to do it and in fact he was getting enough damage himself so that he was bleeding and had scratches all around him.
Meanwhile the Eckhart family memebers were all looking at me while I was just walking towards Ivonne. There were two ways of getting rid of such an evil veil. One was to kill the person since there was a possibility that the magic was overtaking ones body and the second option was to simply rewind time on the magic around her. This was a delicate matter as I was not allowed to harm her body while doing it or affect her mind. In fact this was something nearly every time wizard would rather avoid doing since it was easy to kill the target but I didn't had a lot of time to think about it. I just knew there had to be something I could do and had to do. This was when my body moved on it's own and then before I could really think about it, I was already starting chanting.
Me: Intellegere nos nonnisi sumendo ultro amittere. Patientia et tempus sunt milites mei, propugnatores
While I finished my small chant, the magic patterns around me started to fall onto place like a good clockwork and by now I was also quite close to the girl as well. This was it. It was about to get over for everything. The question was what would happen to me if I would succeed?OR what would happen if I failed!
