Dance of Blood and Magic ENG

Unexpected Guest Elysandra Blackthorn

The big meeting was about to end. Engfa and Charlotte had captured the attention of everyone in the hall and were about to finish their speech. Everyone's eyes were filled with respect and admiration. At that moment, the heavy wooden doors suddenly opened once more. A cold wind and a resounding voice shook the hall:

"The Crown Queen Protector of the Realm of Umbraterra, Elysandra Blackthorn!"

The name spread like a wave through the room. Engfa's eyes widened in surprise, a nervousness cast over her face like a shadow. Charlotte noticed Engfa's sudden change, but she didn't quite understand what had happened. Myx quickly approached Engfa and whispered in a low voice, "Elysandra? An uninvited guest. This is not good, Engfa."

Engfa took a deep breath, turned his eyes to the door. As he focused on the door, everyone's gaze turned to him. Charlotte was still trying to understand the situation, her eyes looking at the door, worried about Engfa's nervousness. The figure that entered immediately caught the attention of the entire hall.

Elysandra Blackthorn, one of Umbraterra's most powerful witches, entered the hall with slow and confident steps. Her dark black, gold-embroidered dress dragged on the floor with every move, her elegant cloak fluttering behind her. Her long, wavy black hair and lush green eyes caught everyone's attention. A seductive smile was on her lips. Elysandra's every step made the air around her thicker, and everyone in the hall couldn't take their eyes off her, as if they were captivated by her.

The wizards stared at Elysandra in silence, as if entranced by her magnificence. Engfa's family, Rowena and Elowen, looked at Elysandra with uneasy glances. They knew her, she was very powerful, and her obsessive love for Engfa had been the subject of discussion many times before. The only race to be feared after the line of Morgana Le Fay, the witches of Umbraterra were the most dangerous beings to emerge from the shadows of this realm.

Charlotte was staring in amazement at the allure of this magnificent woman sweeping the room. Elysandra's gaze on Engfa was starting to make her uneasy. As Elysandra headed straight for Engfa, Charlotte's mind kept wondering who this woman was and why she had caused such a big reaction. But the spark of jealousy inside her flared up even brighter when she saw Elysandra's eyes on Engfa.

Elysandra smiled with a slight bow of her head when she reached Engfa, so close that Charlotte could sense Elysandra's intentions. "Engfa Le Fay, patron queen of the ancient realm," Elysandra said, her voice carrying a seductive yet dangerous twinkle. "I thought you had forgotten me for a while. But I heard that this meeting was important... and I thought it would be meaningful for the unification of the realms if I were to attend as an old friend."

Charlotte's eyes widened even more, she could now understand Elysandra's interest in Engfa more clearly. This woman was clearly obsessed with Engfa. The person Engfa should be with was Charlotte, not her. Elysandra's closeness to Engfa and her seductive attitudes began to create a rapidly growing storm of jealousy inside Charlotte.

Engfa narrowed his eyes at Elysandra. "Elysandra, it's a bit of a surprise you're here. I don't recall sending you an invitation," he said in a calm but cold tone.

Elysandra let out a sarcastic laugh. "Engfa, there's no need to invite me. If you have an important meeting, of course I should be here too. After all... old friends should be there for each other, right?"

When she heard these words, Charlotte's patience was wearing thin. She approached Engfa and gripped her arm tighter. Elysandra's insinuating words made Charlotte even more jealous and triggered her sense of possessiveness towards Engfa. Engfa noticed Charlotte's reaction and tried to calm her down by placing her hands on Charlotte, but Elysandra's gaze fell on Charlotte and she rolled her eyes as if she despised her.
