Chapter 777

Chapter 122 : The Demise

I shook my head and cradled Helen’s tortured body in my lap. “Why? It can’t be true! Please, tell me it isn’t true… I can’t lose you…not when I just lost Soren. I can’t lose you again!”

Helen smiled wryly. “Listen to me, before my energy fades completely. Years ago, I thought I did something that was righteous and important. I did everything I could to stop an unwanted future. Yet… everything in my prophecy came true…”

“It’s okay, it’s all in the past now! Don’t waste your energy,” I whispered.

“Please… for many years, I wondered what would have been different if I’d never acted. But there’s no going back in life.”

I sniffled and leaned down, kissing her forehead. I still couldn’t believe she’d sacrificed herself with a powerful potion like that! She’d just come back into my life and now she was leaving.

“Ever since then, I’ve been waiting for this day, Mila. To be able to meet you, and bring all this to an end. Those were the only purposes I had left in life and I accomplished both in one day. It is a good day.”

“You’re dying… How is that good?”

“Because I’ve lived my life and accomplished my goals. I started this, and now I’ve ended it. I’ve fulfilled my purpose and now I am going to be reunited with my beloved sister. Don’t weep for me, Mila, be happy for me.”

Whatever words I wanted to say died on my lips. I kept shaking my head over and over again. This couldn’t be happening!

Helen’s lips strained to smile. “My dear, sweet Mila. You are strong and you have to be strong for your child.”

“I don’t know how,” I whispered. “Aunt Helen, you can’t leave me alone.”

“You’ll figure it out, Mila, on your own. I promise.” Helen winced slightly and closed her eyes. “Now, there is just one more thing I need to do.

In a whisper, Helen chanted something so low I couldn’t hear it.

Suddenly, my fingers tingled and I felt as if a refreshing gust swept through my body, lifting a thin layer of fog from my brain and invisible weights off my limbs. Whatever had been blocking the rest of my power was gone. All my witch ability and strength coursed through me at full force.

I gasped, feeling the last traces of the Blackfire poison leaving my body.

Tears leaked from the corners of my eyes and I leaned down, hugging Helen. My face was right against hers.

Helen turned toward me and kissed my cheek. “Goodbye, my dear niece… may the Goddess look after you.” She spoke in a content, peaceful tone.

I felt her life leave her in a final gasp. The sheath of protection, which I’d tossed on the ground, seemed to also exhaust all its power and vanished into ashes at the same time.

“No!” I cried, sobbing as more tears poured from my eyes. I looked up at the roof of the cave, imagining the night sky and kneeling on my knees.

“Goddess above, please hear my prayer. Your light shall guide us and your mercy shall be praised… Amina hasteth corro sinat, amina hasteth corro sinat.”

Again and again, I chanted, “Amina hasteth corro sinat, amina hasteth corro sinat…”

I felt my newly unblocked energy draining from me, but I didn’t care. I just needed to do something, anything, in order to hold on to a faint hint of hope.

“Amina hasteth corro sinat, amina hasteth corro sinat…”

What was the point of having magic if I couldn’t use it to save the ones I loved?
