The Travelers

The transfer 3

The ghost who has been unusually quiet for some time now slowly glides towards Akana.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Akana consciously asked.

"You're also a vessel." The ghost declared.

"So?"

"Then that means you can also store Niccolo's power."

That made Akana think. "Oh my God I know what you mean, " she said excitedly.

Akana hurriedly approached her sister's bed. She sat down beside her then held her hand and did exactly what I did. But it's not working.

"Wait, why can't I do it?"

"Silly girl, it's not that simple. I have to enter your body first. Then create a circle and a spell for protection."

"Are you trying to trick me? You're probably just planning to take over my body."

"I could be just tricking you but you have no choice but to believe."

Akana thinks things over for a minute. She looks at her sister. Ara's looking a lot better. Even the color of her hair and skin are kind of back to normal. She's no longer pale as a ghost.

"Fine, do what you need to do."

"Stand still," the ghost instructed.

She did what she was told and the ghost entered her body.

"I can get used to this." Akana smiled. I know it's already the ghost controlling her body.

"Stop playing around and start the ritual," the devil instructed.

The ghost then started chanting in a language I couldn't understand. A magic circle was formed around them.

Curious, I was about to approach them when the devil warned me." Don't get near the circle. It wouldn't matter how powerful you are, that circle will protect them from danger."

"But I'm not dangerous"

I ignored her warning and went near the circle. But as I was about to enter, a shield automatically formed and as I touched it I felt like a thousand bolts of electricity entered my body and the shield literally threw me out. I almost got knocked out. The part that touched the shield is now in searing pain.

"Margareth is a powerful witch. Nothing and no one can penetrate the circle she created." the devil explained. "Inside a vessel she's almost unstoppable."

After she finished her ritual she then started absorbing Princess Ara's power. At first she looked okay. She was even glowing but as minutes passed by I could already see the struggle on her face.

"Should we stop her? She could be in pain."

"She is but since she's a natural vessel it wasn't as painful as you felt earlier. Her body is built for this. She will be fine." the devil explained.

She could be lying but Akana is not letting go. The transfer lasted for ten minutes. And that's only the time that Princess Akana let go of her sister's hand. She looked so tired but she seemed satisfied.

"Will she be fine?" I asked again.

"You worry too much. She's more determined than you are. And besides, the only reason her sister was in a coma is because she's too young back then when they transferred your power."

"Akana is eighteen years of age now. The worst thing that could happen to her is slight dizziness," said the angel.

And he was right. After Akana absorbed all my power from Ara's body she stood up like nothing happened. And the ghost was suddenly expelled from her body.

"What happened?" I asked the ghost.

"Your damn power pushed me out of her body."

"Okay what will happen next." Akana asked. She looks tired but other than that she seems fine.

"We will wait." And as the devil said it princess Aras eyes slowly open. Akanas face lit up with joy.

"Oh my God Ara you're awake."

"Thank you Akana for not giving up on me."

And as they were about to hug the door opened.

"What's going on here?"

We all look at the direction where the voice is coming from.

A woman who looks like Princess Akana just decades older entered the room.

Her beauty and her regal way of walking suggested that she's the queen of this palace.

Behind her is a man who is probably the king. He looked somber, almost angry. And he's looking directly at me. Of course I'm the only one he can see. The four non-humans I'm with turned invisible again.

He was about to confront me when suddenly princess Ara talked. "Mother," she said almost like a whisper.

"Oh my God Ara you're awake." The woman who I assume is the Queen is crying tears of joy as she runs towards princess Ara.

When she got near her she then softly touched her face. And was still sobbing non stop. "My daughter." She still can't believe it. She then turned her attention to Akana and hugged her. She hugged her back. And all of them cried.

Even I got a bit emotional witnessing such mother and daughters moments. My mother also cried when I went to the big city for college.
