Beyond The Realms

Chapter 52

Waves of darkness roll out of her body like greedy tentacles. I try to get away but they are so rapid and quick one of them wraps around my ankle and pulls me up in air upside down . Several of them swiftly wrapping around me holding me in place.

Ayelet's chortles delighted
" I can hear you struggle half breed. You will make a great sacrifice to the dark masseah , dajjal .
The more you struggle the sweeter the blood in your veins and marrow in your bones will taste "

Gritting my teeth against the disgusting feel of these tentacles around me I try to cut them off but my sword passes right through them unable to cause any harm , I use winds to blow them all away but it too fails to cause any harm to these thick wisps of darkness that are rapidly coiling around my body and trapping me in a cocoon of darkness as a strange numbness comes over my body wherever the darkness is touching.

They are up to my nose now leeching away the warmth turning my blood frigid in my veins and cold seeping into my bones dangling from the air .I forcefully open my palms fighting off the wave of numbness that threatens to take over my consciousness and summon the power that I had been gifted by my grandmother .

The fire comes to me in a surge as if all this time it had been eagerly waiting for my call. The twin flames that start at my palms and spread all over my body burns away the darkness wrapping around me.

Only seconds again Ayelet who had been mocking and delighting in my struggle against the darkness pales as I somersault and land on my feet before her.

She screams in frustration sensing me burning away the waves of her darkness that she sends my way each more intense than before but they are no match for my fire as I extinguish them in less than a fraction of seconds .

" What is it ?" She screams fury and terror twisting her beautiful face as my fire gets closer " Stop it ! Stop it " She shreiks her voice cracking " You can't kill me it's against your nature! "

" You speak of the Djinns" I say standing before her my fire burning readily and deadly in my palms
" As you yourself have said so many times I'm a half breed I'm not bound to their rules " My fire leaps towards her. The woman who ruthlessly murders to obtain power , slaughters innocents to satisfy her greed , woman who would have readily unleashed evil upon the realms , who had used my sister as a pawn in her dirty game" I make my own rules "

There is not a single shred of mercy for her in my heart as her cries fill the air as my fire burns away her flesh.

The darkness in the sky fades away with the last of Ayelet's screams and welcoming the bright sun above . Brilliant light filling the vision wide and far as if someone have remove a thick blanket from the sky .

The miasma dissipates and I see Salaäm pinned against the tree. The tips of his feet barely brushing the ground as he struggles in Prince Ruslan's grip . The prince is covered in blood , most of it dry and the swelling in his eye has reduced compared to before, now, their is only vengeance and fury itched over every inch of his handsome face.

" Cousin " Salaäm struggles to speak against the furious hold on his throat " Forgive me cousin...I...was tricked by her "

I let out a snort of absolute disgust. He has no honor I have seen him enjoying the horrors he had unleashed on fellow djinns , heard him gloating to the Prince in the forest about how he had killed his beloved Raaniya . Amy before her death had showed me all the unspeakably brutal and terrifying ways in which he had abused her. I know he had enjoyed every bit of those sordid acts he had committed.

" Don't take me for a fool" Prince Ruslan growls slamming his disgusting excuse of a cousin against the tree making entire tree shudder " I would have my revenge with you right now if I hadn't known someone who you owe far greater than you do me" he snarls tossing Salaäm to my feet.

Without any hesitation I raise my sword " For my sister , Amy "

Neither I nor the Prince turn back to look at the corpse as we move away from the bloody grounds. Cheers of victory roar in our ears as we walk side by side towards my fort .
