Amani knew the drink had a sleeping agent in it but she had magic that could nullify such things she focused her attention on the cup and did as she had learned through a human teacher she was introduced to in the spirit realm by her wolf teacher whom she believed must be her spirit guide or an ancestor of hers as that was what her original tribe the Chitomi clan believed in. Emma Thompson was her teacher's name she lived on the other side of the world far far away and where she lived they had a different magic than that of the Shamanic magic's she had been used to Emma used a magic she called elemental she had taught her how to weave these magics of water and air to weave together like weaving a basket of grass and wheat around her body starting from deep within the earth beneath her feet all the way to the very tip of her head and if she used her inner eyes those that could see magics of the world she could see the invisible to the named eyes that lived within the elemental world like little water sprites who had giggles that sounded like rain falling on tin roofs these spirits were in smaller forms for convenience sake and were unashamedly naked in appearance. She focused on asking for help from 1 air spirit and 1 of water when both of them showed up looking curious she showed them the cup of water and said “ please help me cleanse this water so I may drink without being drugged, I will need you to do this for me every day around this time with it” the water sprite looked at her cup and hissed “bah-ad wa-ter” she nodded “yes very bad water” this one had a thick accent, the air one looked at her then said “what you give?” she smiled she was not a master of the elements and she would never try to force anyone to do her bidding she sent out a trickle of energy to both the sylph and the nymph and they swirled around happily “de-eel” said one while the other said “done” Air and Water were the best elements for purification and healing though she had heard that there were many healers who were masters of Earth . The water had been purified and she drank it down because if she didn't she would be beaten again . Air elemental spirits could be a bit lofty so she would have to remind it to come back tomorrow , now she had to pretend she was sleeping using a small spell she controlled her breathing and went into a trance like dream state so if someone were to enter her mind it would appear like she was dreaming she heard the door open and shut so gently she knew it was not Otaktay that had entered the room she had a feeling she had felt this aura earlier and assumed it was the “magician” Nuka he touched her wrist as if checking her pulse and she was glad she had thought to put herself in a trance so her heart rate would stay even and calm as though she was dreaming peacefully. She felt his hand roam her body and cringed internally if he did anymore she would fake waking up. She felt his barrier go up “so beautiful , just like Keisha Moon was. I must make you mine , let me look into that mind of yours and plant the seeds of love in them “ he was talking to himself as he moved strands of hair off her face.
Nuka closed his eyes and inhaled the sweet smell of Amani's skin placing his forehead against her own he whispered a spell gently “let me in inside her dreams and let her dream a dream with me” as he spoke he gently brushed his fingers against her cheek . Inside her mind was so pure and innocent he felt dirty standing there in the sunshine he could see her up ahead she was frolicking around with her hair flowing in the wind with a daisy in her hair Daisies were Keisha's favorite flower and that was when he saw her , saw her as she was the day she married his twin brother in all her splendid beauty . “Mommy come lets bring daddy a picnic lunch!” Keisha laughed and picked up a picnic basket that was sitting at her feet “ Amani my love slow down daddy will come and meet us here my love” and that was when he started to walk over towards them he still hungered after her even though he knew it was a dream . Amani noticed Nuka's presence in her mind instantly and had decided to play a cruel trick on him by having her dream-scape have her mother in it and her mother would reject him But all of a sudden she felt that he was taking over her dream and the next thing she knew the scene had changed and he was defiling her mother in her dream “Hey mister what are you doing to my mommy!” she made her little girl scream at him and that was when he came to his sense and changed the scenery again she was back to her valley and was older than she had made herself if anything she would say her dream self reflected who she was in the present and he came up to her and hugged her to him “darling thank you for agreeing to marry me and bring my children into this world “ he said kissing her cheek she was shocked this man was no better than Otaktay in some ways he was worse he was in love with her mother and wanted to use her as a substitute for her. She looked up at him and looked him in the eyes and said “ why do you love me so much ? And did I ever tell you that you remind me of my father?” the hand that reached for her cheek stilled and then he said “your father was my twin brother, so it's only natural I look like him , as long as you love me I will always take care of you remember this I am the one who saved you from that wild beast Otaktay and that is how our love story started the fact you are my niece doesn't matter to me and shouldn't matter to you either and once we are married and you give birth to our children you will love me so much nothing in this world will matter more to you. You need to pretend to like him then love him but remember that it is my face you will see when you look at him” she felt sick and knew she soon would not be able to hold it in he was dirtying her mind . There was a distant sound of the door opening and heavy footsteps on the stone floors she knew those steps Otaktay had entered the room she breathed an inward sigh of relief when she felt him leave her mind. While still in her dream land she called on the tiniest of breezes to purify the air in her mind. Nuka undoes his link to her dream coming out satisfied “it is done it should start very slowly , in the mean time you must lessen the beatings to help the spell along” he knew Otaktay was there he was on time as he had threatened he would be. Otaktay grunted and walked to the door “ Come back in a week your payment is in your bank account as we speak now get out my castle” he said bluntly without a word Nuka left while Otaktay approached the bed he frowned as he looked at her nothing looked different about her at all had the magician actually done anything to her at all?” with a sigh he ran a hand through his hair “time will tell I guess, and if he's lied to me I will kill him” he said with venom in his voice before leaving the room and going downstairs he had a pack meeting to find out what his wolves had learned about any possible pursuers.
Myra sat in her home looking into a bowl of water she was in the middle of a meeting with her elemental mage circle discussing how they could help the young elemental wielding young witch that was being brutally abused by that evil werewolf Otaktay , they usually stayed out of the business of non humans as long as they followed the path of light. There were many werewolves out there that they never had any issues with if anything they usually helped werewolves by capturing and killing followers of the dark arts who were their own human people and even on occasion took care of dark sourced Magi of all types they dealt with anything of the occult and had even put an end to a few stray dangerous rouge werewolves . There were some things that were out of their hands that they could not help with such as being transformed into a werewolf which was a real possibility for the young girl she had noticed her magical composition was changing ever so slowly the elementals all liked her but she got on best with the air and water ones it probably had to do with her shamanic abilities but there were a few that had almost fought each other in an attempt to be closer to her before they had came together in a truce. The full moon was days away her plan was to get Otaktay away from the castle long enough that they could help her escape so they were feeding the werewolves lies sylphs and other air masters whispered in their ears. They would send a picture to him that made it look like there was another redheaded beauty in the area it was actually a fire master who did have fiery red hair but she lived on the other side of the world out of harm's way she sent a gorgeous photo of herself to Tian and they would send it to Otaktay with an offer for him to come visit the girl and see if he would like to own her for a small fee. He would then go to the meeting place and see the girl he would then hear a voice telling him if he could catch her she was his no fee at all. He would then end up chasing an illusion that would give them enough time to get her out of the castle and into hiding until they could return her to her village. She now looked up the Greyson's The child was a long way from home after all she was already more than 12 hours away by car she would have to put some feelers out and see if there was anyway she could contact them without rising an alarm .
There was fire everywhere she looked and yet none of the fire seemed to burn Amani if anything she would say the flames waved over her in a tantalizing warmth and not scorching her at all . She could see all sorts of fire creatures she had only ever read in story books she wondered if she was being influenced by the books that had been left for her they were all about elemental magicians and had been fascinating to read . It had been about 3 days since she had realized her uncle had been in love with her mother and was now plotting to magic her into being in love with him so he could have the life he had always wanted with her mother with her his biological niece. Regardless of the fire around her she felt herself shiver “how sick is he that he wants to have children with his own biological niece” she muttered resisting the urge to gag. A group of salamanders swarmed over her warming her core, She thought she saw eyes looking at her through the flames , amber pools. The eyes looked as though they could peer into her very soul and they were seizing her up and maybe they truly were doing just that . “We can't stop it , this is her destiny and we can not get in the way of daughters of eve and son's of Adam's paths when they have a path they must follow we must let them all we can do is walk side by side with them , it is not our realm to interfere with “ she could hear someone speaking but she saw no one and she was too intimidated by the strong voice to try and call after it afraid to see what that hallowed voice belonged to in these hellfire flames that waved and weaved about her. “She's only a child still it's not fair” that voice was female and sounded a lot warmer and welcoming but still she refused to call out after it. While deep in the world of sleep Amani had no idea what was happening to her body in the waking world “Her body is burning up we need to cool her down this is out of our depths of healing though you might want to consider a hospital they have the proper equipment for this kind of thing and there is one just down the road” the body on the bed glistened with sweat and looked about half alive Otaktay gritted his teeth in frustration but agreed to bring her to the hospital because he didn't want to risk losing her before he got to taste her full womanhood , before she even sired his offspring for him.
