ENCHANTER: The Quest of the Remaining One (bxb)

CHAPTER 40: Infinity Formula

PRIM'S POV:

It is unnerving to not know the situation of Sergio and Ren's team in the northern tower. The idea of them being imprisoned or busted is making me anxious.

There is something in my guts that is telling me that we are baiting ourselves to a trap. I am brave and confident enough but I can't stop myself for being scared and nervous  at this moment about something I don't know nor expect.

I brushed the thought out of my mind and thinked about our main goal in going here.

'To find the last two necklaces.'

Said my mind.

While running to the direction of the northern tower, a permanent scowl is plastered on my sweaty face. The others are also sweating furiously because of the continuous running we are currently doing.

"A-are you okay?" Fabian asked beside me, eyes at the front. I don't know how to answer that so I just nodded. "Y-you se-em off, is s-something bothering y-you?.." he yet again asked and I shooked my head no.

I don't know if I should tell him that something is bothering me – that something is not right.

Sigh. "Nothi-ng.."

I saw in my peripheral vision that he raised his left brow – not believing me for sure, but uttered none.

"There it i-is.." I stated when I finally saw the pinnacle of the northern tower.

Suddenly, we stopped on our tracks as a great number of westernian soldiers surrounded us.

How can they see us when we are in the influence of my invisibility enchantment?

"I knew it.." Someone spoke above us and when I looked up, a man is levitating in the air. "I never expected that inspite of being the only remaining eastern enchanter, you have the courage to invade this place.." The man continued while slowly landing on the ground. "Oh, look who it is. I believe you are captain Fabian Guevarra of the enchanted crew ship.." He spoke, looking at Fabian with a mischievous smile.

Fabian stared at him, unfazed and said nothing.

So, I believe he cancelled my invisibility enchantment.

"I believe the men whom I ordered to be caged are your allies. How unfortunate of them to experience my wrath.." he stated and my eyes widened. I also heard everyone on our team gasp, except Fabian who is still standing beside me, calm.

I knew something was off!

"Get them!" The man barked and the soldiers who are surrounding us quickly barged their way to us.

"Captain, what should we do?" Carson asked, panicking.

"You can't do anything. This was a trap. Do you really think that we westernians can be deceived? Your plan was busted even from the beginning!" The man barked.

So we were played all along?

"I knew something was up.." Fabian murmured beside me. His once calm and collected face is now scowling.

We can't be imprisoned.

Not if I do something!

"Stilas! " I casted but my eyes widened when it didn't affect the soldiers.

"You do realize that I can read minds, right?" The man said then laughed.

I keep calling him 'man'. I forgot his name.

I looked at Fabian who looked at our team.

"Everyone, prepare your swords..." Fabian said then brought out his sword. Everyone, except me, followed then charged.
