The elemental kings pressed forward, the mountain’s golden light illuminating their path. As they descended from the higher slopes, the dense forest began to thin, revealing a vast clearing in the distance. Their breaths came in visible puffs in the crisp air, the atmosphere around them crackling with anticipation.
“We’re close,” Alexander said, his voice barely more than a whisper. He could feel the power emanating from the clearing ahead, a familiar energy that resonated with the very core of his being. “The mountain wouldn’t guide us here if this wasn’t the place.”
Asher nodded in agreement, his senses sharp. “I can feel her,” he said quietly. “Valeria. She’s here.”
The forest gave way to a grassy expanse, and there, at the heart of the clearing, stood a massive coven. The structure was ancient, built from dark stone that glistened with a mystical sheen, as if the very walls were infused with magic. Vines twisted up its sides, and arcane symbols adorned the surface, glowing faintly in the dim light. The coven was surrounded by a protective barrier, a shimmering dome that pulsed with energy.
“That’s Emilia’s doing,” Kian observed, studying the barrier with a keen eye. “She’s fortified the coven with a protective shield. Breaking through it won’t be easy.”**
Jerone, still struggling with his inner turmoil, clenched his jaw. “We don’t need to break through,” he said. “We just need to find a way in. There has to be a weakness, something we can exploit.”
“Let’s not act hastily,” Alexander cautioned. “If we rush in without a plan, we could trigger traps or alarms. Emilia’s a powerful witch. She wouldn’t leave her coven unprotected.”
The group approached the edge of the barrier cautiously. As they neared, the protective dome shimmered with a vibrant mix of colors—pink, purple, and blue swirling together. It was a visual representation of the mountain’s earlier hues, echoing the harmony and balance of magic.
“It’s almost like the barrier is alive,” Asher noted, reaching out with his senses. He felt the barrier respond, a subtle ripple under his touch. “It’s reactive, attuned to emotions and intentions. If we can align our own energy with the mountain’s approval, it might let us pass.”
Kian nodded. “We need to project our genuine intent—to protect Valeria, to seek answers, not to harm. If the mountain approved of us earlier, then it’s possible this barrier will too.”
Taking a deep breath, each king focused inward, centering their thoughts on Valeria, on their shared history, their bond, and the desire to reach her. They channeled their energy into a combined force, letting it flow toward the barrier. The dome shimmered, reacting to their power.
For a moment, the air around them seemed to vibrate, tension crackling like a storm about to break. Then, as if sensing the kings’ true intentions, the barrier pulsed one last time and began to dissolve, a doorway opening just wide enough for them to pass through.
“It’s working,” Alexander said, a note of triumph in his voice. “We’re being allowed entry.”
Jerone, still wary, kept his guard up. “Just because we’re inside doesn’t mean we’re safe,” he muttered. “Stay alert. Emilia and Valeria could be waiting for us, and we still don’t know where their loyalties lie.”
The kings stepped through the opening, the barrier sealing behind them as they entered the coven’s grounds. The atmosphere was thick with magic, the air humming with the energy of countless spells and enchantments. They could feel eyes watching them from the shadows, the presence of wards and spirits that guarded the sacred space.
The coven itself loomed before them, a towering structure of dark stone that seemed to absorb the light around it. The doors were sealed shut, intricate runes glowing along their surface, but now, with the barrier allowing them entry, the doors creaked open of their own accord.
“Valeria,” Asher whispered, feeling the pull of their bond drawing him closer. “She’s in there. I can feel it.”
They stepped forward, their footsteps echoing in the silent courtyard as they approached the entrance. The shadows seemed to shift, parting like a curtain to reveal the path ahead. The kings knew that whatever awaited them inside, it would change everything. They had come too far to turn back now.
With a final glance at one another, they crossed the threshold into the coven, ready to face whatever lay within and finally uncover the truths that had been hidden from them for so long.
