On the day Willow and Cassandra went back to Atenowa, Lady Brume became restless. She was worried about the news she had received, that Cordelia’s life was in danger. She couldn’t believe that Lazarus gives her a spell. She was concerned about Thana. She couldn’t let go of Thana at this moment she believes that Thana could learn more and make her power dominant.
She needs to find a cure to remove the spell from the body of Cordelia. Now and then, she reads the black book, hoping that she will find a cure for the poison that Lazarus gave to Cordelia.
One night of the full moon she created a spell for the antidote of the poison that inside Cordelia’s body, with the help of Orenda who has the ability to make a medicine that is made of herbal medicine and by the power given by the goddess of moon. They joint their powers and special ability, but no matter that they did; the poison was getting worse.
Lady Brume, who had no choice but to grant Cordelia’s ask to bring back Thana home yet, she knows it is not the right time to let go of Thana. She needs to fulfill the last word of her friend, Cordelia.
The next morning she ordered Thana to go into her office to talk about the things Cordelia wanted to do, to bring her back home. To send her back to Huesca. Thana practicing her magic together with the others. Orenda comes over to talk with her.
“Thana, can I talk to you for a moment?”
I stopped practicing my magic when I heard Orenda’s voice behind me. I turn around and take a glimpse at her, wondering what is her important message that she wants to convey with me.
“What do you want?”
“Lady Brume has something important things to say to you.”
My eyebrows rise, knowing that Lady Brume wanted to talk with me. It’s I thought she had no interest in talking with me at all.
“What’s the matter? I’m busy right now. Maybe the other time.”
“We don’t have time, Thana.”
‘What is it all about?”
“Follow me.”
I stopped on practicing and follows Orenda with hesitant. Why, suddenly, Lady Brume calls my attention.
As I walked into Lady Brume’s office, I feel anxious. Every little tiny sounds, sound a thousand times louder. My heart pounds like a dream and a sweat running into my cheek.
A fear rushes to my vein that blankets the cold, like an icy weather in my whole body. At that moment, Mia speaks to my senses. I heard her voice whispering in my ear, makes me feel uneasy that gives Orenda a worried eye glaring at me.
“Are you okay?” She asked.
“Yes, I am fine. Just keep on walking.”
Her eyes seemed to stare at me in doubt. I averted my eyes to avoid looking at her and pretending that everything about me is alright.
At the moment we reach Lady Brume’s office, the door open. We let ourselves to gets inside. I saw Lady Brume standing in the windows in front, glaring at the whole place of Atenowa. My heart pumps as it my blood rushes to the tips of my fingers. When she turns around looking her eyes serious, that is staring at me. It gives more nervous to my whole being when I see she’s holding the black book just like as my grandmother has.
“How are you doing, Thana?” Lady Brume started a conversation.
“I’m doing great.” It puzzles me from her words. For so many days I stayed here in Atenowa she showing her concern to me. Its sound new to my ear to hear those words from her.
I yelp and a sense of coldness taking over me. I gave her a shaky smile and stares at her without blinking of my eyes.
“Why suddenly you calling my attention?”
“I have an important word I need to say to you.”
Lady Brume commands Orenda to get outside and let us all alone. I was even more nervous about her actions. I took a glance at Orenda, who steps outside to Lady Brume’s office.
“What do you want to say?” I turn to Lady Brume and asked her.
“Listen. Thana, you need to go home.
“Now? She just nodded at me as if seems she’s waiting how would I react, waiting for me to scream at what she said? I chuckle and shrugged my head in disbelief from her. Why all at once she sending me back to Huesca?
“What is your plan, Supreme?”
“My plan is to send you back to Huesca at once.”
“Are you insane? Grand ma will not allow this. She send me here to learn magic even if against to my will to stay here for so long, I never disobey her.”
Lady Brume just stares at me with no words slip from her lips. She breathes and turns her gaze to the window.
“Listen to me. You need to go back to Huesca.
I stared at her and my thoughts overflowed with questions. I came close to her and held her hands.
“Lady Brume, is there anything bad that has happened?”
You will know when you return home.
“Why? Cant you tell to me now?”
She just looks at me deep within my soul as if she’s interring to my soul. I could feel her senses that tuning in my nerve.
“Tell me, what is it? “
“You need to go home before it’s too late, Thana.”
“What do you mean?”
“Your grandmother needed yo. She’s running off her time. Lazarus give her a spell that no one can break it. I’m afraid that in any moment Cordelia can’t stay longer.”
My tears trickled down in my cheeks, fear engulfed me. Fears that I’m going to lose my grandmother and scared that I can’t no longer to see her.
“Tell me that it’s all wrong. She is one of the powerful supreme of the clan. Tell me she can escape from the spell of Lazarus.
“I hope Thana. But we cannot control everything. All around us has a time limit.”
“Are you telling me…that…she will going…to die?”
My voice is rattling with fears and my tears flow. My heart trembles.. I wrap myself and drag my feet and step away from Lady Brume.
I wipe my tears with my hands. If there’s one thing that I could save my grandmother I will do that thing. If fighting with Lazarus is the only way to save my grandmother, I don’t have hesitant to do it.
