Dance of Blood and Magic ENG

Not Today

Engfa made the storm he held in his palm even bigger. The purple clouds in the sky were thickening, and lightning was illuminating the night. He shouted angrily and determinedly: "Bring Charlotte here now! Now! Or I will destroy your realm. And I will start from here!" The harshness and power in his voice echoed around, and his aura left everyone breathless.

Moriah, who saw that even the grandmother's spells were ineffective, looked at Engfa in surprise. This shield had caught her off guard as well. It was clear that nothing could stop Engfa. However, the issue was still clear to Moriah; she was determined not to give Charlotte up. But Engfa's threats were not to be taken lightly.

At that moment, Rowena took a deep breath and approached Moriah. Fear and anxiety were evident on her face. "You can't risk this, Moriah," she said in an urgent tone. "Do you really want to take such a risk? At least have Charlotte here. Give her a chance to calm down. Otherwise, we will all pay a heavy price. We could lose our realm."

Moriah paused for a moment at Rowena's words. Her eyes fell on Engfa, standing in the middle of the storm, radiating power uncontrollably. The magic that had gathered around Engfa seemed too powerful to resist. But the stubbornness and pride within her still had not passed. Anger filled her heart as she thought about the possibility of Charlotte being handed over to Engfa.

But Rowena's anxious gaze and her voice, trembling with fear, had shaken him for a moment. He paused a little longer, his teeth clenched in anger. "We must find a solution," he muttered to himself.

Rowena took a step forward before she could stand Moriah's uncertain gaze any longer. Her voice was determined and strong: "Bring Charlotte here! Now!" she shouted. Then, turning to Moriah, she spoke in a calmer but more serious tone. "While she is here, we can calm Engfa. Then we can try our spells again. There is no other way to stop her."

Moriah listened to Rowena's instructions with difficulty. Although she did not like the idea at all, she thought about the predicament they were in and Engfa's uncontrollable state. "This is madness," she thought to herself, but she had no other choice. Even if she did not approve, she had to try Rowena's plan.

He stared at Engfa, then commanded in a harsh voice, "Guards!" he shouted. "Bring Charlotte here immediately."

The guards around him immediately took action when they heard this order. They quickly ran into the castle. Moriah took a deep breath, a tense expression on her face. She waited as if crushed under the weight of what was about to happen.

When Charlotte appeared at the castle gate, the sight that greeted her took her breath away. Her eyes widened, her heart began to beat rapidly. Engfa's aura was like a dark storm surrounding her. The light and wind created by the purple lightning that flashed across the sky were proof of Engfa's anger and power. She was filled with fear and anxiety at what she saw. But even worse was the uncontrollable anger and pain that shone in Engfa's eyes.

Charlotte looked into Engfa's eyes. She knew she had to reach out to him. At that moment, she heard a whisper from Engfa's lips that only she could hear: "Charlotte..."

Charlotte was shaken by this whisper. Without a moment's hesitation, she ran to Engfa and hugged him tightly, in tears. "Don't..." she begged, her voice trembling. "Don't, my love... I'm here, I'm here. Please..."

Engfa slowly began to soften with the security of being in Charlotte's arms. Charlotte's scent, the tremors of her voice, the warmth of her arms around her... These were slowly extinguishing all her anger and rage. Her eyes filled with tears and she closed with that peaceful feeling that calmed the storm that was swelling inside her.

He slowly lowered his hand in the air, and the storm disappeared in an instant. The sky became calm again, and the magical gloom around them dispersed. "I came to get you," Engfa whispered into Charlotte's ear, his voice trembling but firm.

Charlotte leaned her head on Engfa's neck, her breathing deep. "I know," she said, crying. "But please... Please don't let it be like this."

Engfa wrapped her arms tighter around Charlotte. "I can't be without you, Charlotte. I don't have a world without you..." she murmured. The desperation and passion in Engfa's voice tore Charlotte's heart apart.

Seeing Engfa calm down, Moriah and Seraphine took a deep breath. They realized once again how strong this seal between Engfa and Charlotte was. This power earned everyone's fear and respect.

Rowena did not miss this moment and immediately stepped towards Moriah and Seraphine. She spoke calmly but firmly: "We need to get the situation under control. Otherwise, it will have dangerous consequences for all of us."

Deep down, Moriah was still determined. She planned to use hypnosis, but she would not show it. She narrowed her eyes at Rowena, trying to hide her uneasiness. "As agreed," she said. "I brought Charlotte, now it is your turn."

Rowena paused for a moment and then nodded. She slowly moved toward Engfa and Charlotte. Engfa's arms were still around Charlotte and he didn't seem to want to let go. Rowena spoke carefully, in a loving voice: "Give the families some time. It doesn't work this way. You need to start a peace between us, not a war. Please, let's not further erode both families."

Engfa listened to the words carefully, it was obvious that he did not want to let Charlotte go. However, he also realized that his grandmother was right. His eyes shone with determination as he looked at Charlotte in his arms. He slowly turned towards Moriah, anger and determination shining in his eyes.

"If you ever upset my queen again," he said, his voice clear and steady. "If I feel even a single tear fall from her eyes... I will make all of this realm pay the price."

Charlotte looked into Engfa's eyes with a look full of love. Engfa's words were an expression of the peace and happiness that filled her heart. Although fear and anxiety appeared in her for a moment, she decided that it was better to listen to her grandmothers now. She slowly left Engfa's arms, even though her heart did not want this separation.

"Let's listen for now," Charlotte said, looking into Engfa's eyes. "There is a time for this war. For now, we must remain calm."

Engfa fell in love with Charlotte's determined and strong stance all over again. She took a deep breath and grasped Charlotte's hands. "Keep that in mind," she said, looking at Moriah and Seraphine, a final warning in her voice. "If you ever hurt my queen again, remember my words."

After these words, Charlotte approached Engfa, put her hands on Engfa's face, whispered, "I love you," and then gave him a short, loving kiss on the lips.

"I love you too," Engfa said. Charlotte slowly pulled back, her eyes filled with tears but determined. "It's time to say goodbye," she said sadly. Engfa could only nod, the emotions gathering in her throat unable to form words.

They hugged each other one last time, their bodies trembling with the sadness of this short farewell, not wanting to be separated. Then, Charlotte slowly separated from Engfa and locked her gaze on him once more.

"We'll see each other," he whispered. Engfa responded in kind, their gazes locked on each other.

Rowena watched the two of them with respect as they watched this emotional moment, then approached Charlotte and gave her a supportive look. Then she placed her hand on Engfa's shoulder to calm her down. Charlotte took a deep breath and smiled at Engfa one last time before turning back towards the castle.

Myx and Rowena took a deep breath as well, their eyes locked. They stood next to Engfa and watched for a moment. The atmosphere was still tense, but at least for now they had averted disaster. Rowena gently touched Engfa's shoulder, silently supporting him.

"Are you ready?" Myx whispered, looking at Engfa. Engfa turned her gaze away from the castle door where Charlotte had disappeared and took a deep breath. "I am ready," she said in a low voice, keeping a strong expression on her face even though there was a storm brewing inside her.

Rowena moved closer to Engfa. "We trust you," she whispered.

Then, in one motion, all three of them disappeared into the purple smoke that appeared around them. The castle garden fell silent again, leaving only the cold wind and the silent tension of the approaching blood moon.
