CHAPTER 76 : A KISS GOODNIGHT

*Mila*

With Eros locked up and all of us being back in the rogue zone at Soren’s inn, I felt a lot more comfortable. Soren put me back in the guest room right next to his. He’d been pretty busy when we got back, checking in with Thomas and the rest of his warriors.

Soren seemed really relaxed too and I liked seeing him at peace.

Although, I wasn’t sure how long the peace would last. Eros was just the first one to approach us about the artifact and the rumors Soren spread. We both knew he wouldn’t be the last to come for us.

The work Soren was doing with Thomas and his warriors was important and I didn’t want to get in the way.

They’d need to be ready when the others came after me.

Until then, I found I didn’t have much to do and I couldn’t stay cooped up in the inn all day.

I let myself into the large inn down the street from Soren’s.

“Madam Scarlett?” I called, walking into her big, open lobby.

“Miss Mila,” Scarlett said. She smiled coyly when she saw me and held out a silk, gloved hand.

“I was wondering if you could answer a few questions for me?” I asked, smiling innocently.

“My dear, you know that I don’t answer questions for free. Do you have any money?” she asked, licking her cherry-red lips.

“I don’t but I have something else to offer,” I said. I held out a lotion bottle.

Scarlette arched an eyebrow and c****d her head to the side.

“What is it?” she asked a curious gleam in her eyes.

“This is a special lotion. Magical, actually. It will slow down aging.”

Madam Scarlett’s eyes widened and she grinned. “My my, you do know the way to my heart.” She snatched the bottle from me.

It was the first spell I’d used from the spellbook that my mother left me. After the meteor shower, Soren started teaching me the language that the book was written in. I studied it every day and read about the plants and spells in it.

Strangely, I picked up the language really quickly and wondered if that was because of my witch heritage. The language was a part of my family legacy.

I’d learned the spell for the potion from the book.

“This is the most thoughtful gift for a woman in my profession,” she said. “I like it so much, I will give you 10 questions.”

“I think you’ll really enjoy it. I tested it myself and it is quite effective,” I said, rubbing my own soft, smooth cheek.

The book had spells and potions in it. The lotion had been in the potions section. Some of them, when I read them, I felt like I’d learned them before. Reading them was an easy way to refresh my memory on something I learned a long time ago.

It made it easy for me to pick up some of the new things.

I’d been able to use some of the spells without even thinking about it, once I was reminded of them. They were probably spells that my mother had taught me when I was a child. They were buried in my memory and as the Blackfire poison faded, I could feel my witch power getting stronger. Spells and magic felt more natural.
