The Alpha's Keeper

CVI: Cannibal Witch

After recovering her vision and composure, Seraphim looked around. The castle that had been integrated into the mountain had not removed the underground caverns in it, and when crossing the extra wall, it had fallen into a space within the mountain that the wolf pack did not have visited.

The wall was rocky and wet, it seemed to have running water somewhere, and the ledge, hard as it was, was not very wide. There were no sources of light anywhere, with the exception of the hole through which she had entered that generated the only amount of light in that space, and below her, it was impossible to see what there was.

The space was larger than she could have imagined, and trying to regain her composure, she saw how for a minute, the light source was covered and then returned to normal. That alone was enough for her to know that her enemy had chased her into the hole, but the darkness was so thick that she could barely see anything.

Trying to get up, she looked up, and firmly she said, “Verticalis Deambulition!”

Her body shone from her, and she placed her feet on the vertical surface of the mountain began to walk. She could walk as if it were flat and slowly. Without losing attention, she was approaching the only source of light.

Strange movements were heard in the dark, and Seraphim, who was convinced that she was not alone, raised her hands to protect herself from her.

She tried to contact Eleonor but just when she tried, a guttural scream appeared, and the witch saluted towards her with force.

The witch wrapped her legs around Seraphim’s torso while with her hands she tried to take her throat, the woman screamed, and between her screams, she said, “You are going to die. This is the place!”

Seraphim shook her with force and hit her against the wall that functioned as a floor for her, and she released herself only to jump towards the other wall on the front side where she said while holding on to her, “When I kill you, I will have your power! You are incredible, and having your power will make me the best witch in the world.”

Seraphim was still standing on the wall and looking at her enemy. She said, “You are disgusting... how many witches have you eaten already?” She was gritting her teeth. Who would have thought that she would meet a cannibal witch at that moment? It was utterly disgusting!

The woman grinned evilly and retorted, “That’s none of your business! Fire!”

And just by saying those words, she threw a huge flare in the direction of Seraphim that was just seeing the fire, began to run at full speed. She was heading towards the hole in the wall, she needed to change places to fight more comfortably, but as she ran, the witch jumped on her back and tried to bite her.

The impact was great, and Seraphim lost her balance. When her feet left the wall, the spell was lost, and they both began to fall.

As they fell, they hit and crashed into the walls causing a great deal of damage when Seraphim placing her hands on the witch’s face, said, “Flamabiles!”

From her fingers, an enormous amount of fire appeared surrounding the face of the woman who, screaming, released Seraphim’s body, the witch looked at the wall, but the descent was very fast.

However, using her magic power of her, she said, “Fortitudinem!”

Her muscles grew a size, and Seraphim using her hand, slammed against the wall to support her fall. Her hands ripped off huge parts of the wall as her fall slowed until she hit the ground with more force than she intended.

The witch’s fear manifested itself but looking down, and she could see that she had reached the bottom of the cave. The bottom was full of water, but when Seraphim stood in it, it came up to her calves. The place was not too deep, and where it was, darkness reigned.

The hole where she had entered was now very high and shone like a distant light very high. The brightness of her did not help to illuminate anything.

Seraphim was somewhat scared together her hands and said, “Stay flammable!”

From her hands’ several small fireballs began to appear and wander around that place. They all lit up the place where they passed and flew randomly, and Seraphim could see more clearly where she was.

The cave was not too big. It was clearly on the edge of the construction of the castle inside the mountain, and everything was full of water. Once he turned on the lights, he could see lines of water that were constantly falling down the wall, and when he saw them, an idea came to his mind.

“How is this not totally flooded?”

While she was trying to find a reason behind her back, the water rose, she tried to move, but she could not do it fast enough. Therefore, the fingers with the huge nails of the witch were buried in her abdomen.

“This is enough!” She while looking at Seraphim with unmasked hatred.

Just as she said that she pushed her in front of her, and Seraphim felt severe pain in her ribs.

She turned to see the witch and preparing to attack, and she said, “Magna Flamables!”

Her hands pointed in front of her, but they did not work, the magic did not come out, Seraphim could not believe what happened, and the witch in front of her smiling said, It’s useless, honey! That is Manuela’s poison!”

Seraphim looked at her without understanding what she meant when the walking witch said, “I am Manuela, and that is my poison! You won’t be able to get rid of him!”

Seraphim, without understanding, tried to make many more spells, but none of them worked.
