Chapter Twenty-Seven
His shiny eyes just stared at me as if he were a reflection that penetrated my eyesight. He differs from the other blackbirds. I know what they called this a Raven.
I secretly smiled because I knew for myself that he was a special blackbird. More clever, quick and unique to crawls and owls. I rubbed his feathers to make him even more meek and, as Willow says, we need to step on our blackbirds and let them know we are their master.
We were back in our place with our blackbirds. As I said, these blackbirds are one of the ingredients to learn about magic and one of that is the bird language and Willow is our Professor to learn about bird language. Willow is a wizard. He has a lot of special ability, and there’s no doubt that he can guide as very well.
I look at my Raven and thinking what should I call him. Because of his gray eyes and sometimes that it turns to black and yellow like a shiny moon at night, and his black feather with a touch of gray. I called him Smokey. I think Smokey is a cool name for him.
“Yes, from now on I call you Smokey, “I say to myself.
He crawls and flies around me and it seems that he understands what I am saying.
Bird language is a subject applied to all witches here in Atenowa to the understanding of the language of the birds, and Willow never failed to do so. He is good. Well, I can say that he is more than enough?
As he said birds are ours companion and guardian. We connect our soul to them, for them to understand and to be their master. Just look at the beauty of inflections or traced in the shadow of their wings and one of the important things is you need to get and command them.
After I master them a lot and it marked that I am her Master. I whispered to Smokey, and let him soar and fly high beyond the sky.
“Okay. Smokey… Fly and tell me about Lucas. “
Smokey soar the sky fly upside down and acrobats in the sky. I smiled and laugh a little when I see him how wonderful he was in the sky. His wings look too beautiful in my eyes.
After an hour Smokey and along with the others came back to Atenowa. He flew closer to me and perch on my shoulder. At that moment, I look at his gray eyes that suddenly turn into a yellow.
I don’t know, but my heart beats like a drum. All of the sudden the fears wrapped my whole body that make me feel awe. He flew towards outside of the University. I followed him until we were blown to the Pristine Atenowa Place.
He landed on the Blackthrown tree that is common here in Atenowa it is believe that Blackthrown tree is the protection of the witches that doing evil deeds and black magic that is forbidden int the world of magic.
I walked closer to him. I don’t know but; I feel like he has something to convey to me. “Smokey? Come here. “
Smokey connecting his language to me. He has something to deliver messages to me. He flies towards to me and back to the Blackthrown tree.
“What you wanted to say, Smokey? Come on, don’t be afraid… I am your friend. “
I extended my arm so he could fly back to me. Smokey perch on my arm and he looks into my eyes. In an unexplained thing that happens, Smokey connecting into my inner soul. A light flickered. It was vivid and dazzling into my eyes.
Abruptly, an image reflects in my front. It was too familiar to my sight. Smokey brings me to Huesca, my hometown. A place that I missed a lot. To my surprise, I saw Lucas stambling on the floor and unconscious. I wonder what happened to him, but the thing I’m sure about that Lucas is in danger.
“Lucas… Lucas…. Wake up! I said to my mind.
I don’t even know if he hears me. All that I wanted to do now was to help him and take him away from danger.
“Lucas, wake up!”
I said it again. Calling his name repeatedly is futile. He didn’t hear me. He was still hanging on the floor, unconscious.
“Smokey, tell me what happen to Lucas? “
A Moment later, I heard a voice calling out of my name. His voice was calm, as if he was seducing me. I felt he was just close to me and as if he were whispering to me. I felt restless and suddenly my necklace blink and shone it flickered. A red color comes out of my necklace. I knew it,. It’s a sign of danger.
“Thana… Do you want to save Lucas? The man that you love. “
THIRD PERSON POV
It startled Thana from the voice that she heard. Who is he? What he knows about her? Those are the questions that ran through her mind. She closes her eyes and listened carefully to the sound of his voice. Thana knew she heard it before, but she can't remember when?
The whole place glows again, and he saw the man next to Lucas. She stared at the man next to Lucas and it terrified when she saw Amherst. The guy she used to dance with on the Prom night. She cannot believe that this man will do harm Lucas and threatened her.
“Amherst? Thana whispered his name.
Amherst just laughs at her and it challenged her to show herself to him if she wanted to save Lucas and if she wanted to see Lucas alive.
I Open my eyes and almost gasp air to breathe. I couldn't believe that Amherst is one of the evil forces. How could he use Lucas over me? What is he wanted to me?
I don't have any idea who was Amherst? Or what he wanted from me? What matters to me now is that I will save Lucas in his hands.
I ran backs to the University. All that is in my mind now is to get away to Atenowa and save Lucas from Amherst no matter the cause will be no ones can forbid me to get out of Atenowa.
Until now, I heard Amherst's voice and his laughter that envelope fears to my whole body. I never knew what would happen to me if I face him. What is important right now is to save Lucas from danger.
On my way to the University, I meet Willow. Once again, our path cross again. I don't want to have a conflict with him. I flew back to the University that makes Willow startled. He just followed me from the above and I knew he was impressed by what I have shown to him.
I hurriedly went to my room and look for Mia. I need her help. I needed her right now. It makes me crazy thinking that Lucas is in danger because of me. I need to make a spell to open the barrier again. I had done this before and I knew to myself that I can do it again.
