Chapter 209: Finding a Healer

"We don’t just need a non-magical healer, we need someone who can..." Alaric said with clenched teeth.

"Who else if not that, I mean I can only sense her magic and not a child or an egg she speaks of, gods this is so confusing," Celeste said running her fingers in her raven hair. "I only know of eggs on trees, not within a woman"

"We need to find someone who can both sense the magic and what’s growing inside of her," Alaric said, coming to a halt, Celeste did too.

"And how do you suggest we find such?"

"We need a Sorceress"

At the voice they turned, Nicklaus walked toward them, he took every bit of his power to leave Yelena’s side but he had to for her sake.

"Lena?"

"Her animals, Mint, Olivia are with her, along with ten guards stationed outside," He said in a ragged whisper.

Alaric struck a nod, that was good enough for him, it wasn’t her state they were still worried about but a certain shadow they still haven’t caught yet.

"You said a Sorceress? We haven’t seen one of those in like millenniums" Celeste incurred.

"What dearest sister said, we haven’t been in union with the Sorceress of the Witch Realm ever since the Elders passed on," Alaric said.

"They are the only ones who can help with Yelena’s condition. I’m afraid..." his jaw tightened. "If she’s with child, we know how dangerous that will be for her, we must act now and find out what’s happening"

"I agree," Alaric said with a nod. "The Witch Realm it is, I’m not sure they will be welcoming after all these millennials, but it’s worth a try"

"Celeste I need you here with Yelena, she’s still asleep but I don’t know for how long"

"Don’t worry brother I will watch after her with my life"

☆☆☆

Nicklaus watches Yelena’s peaceful sleeping form, her chest rising and falling gently, he parted some strands of her silver hair on her forehead before leaning down for a kiss, pressing his lips against her forehead. He drew back with a frown.

"You’re cold just like me now," He said with narrowed eyes, she was not hot but extremely cold like ice now, he pulled the covers more against her. "Hold on my love, I will get help... I promise"

"We will look after her Emperor" Ava said, who hopped on the bed.

Nicklaus just gave a nod moving away from the bed. Gideon and Puma were also present too, with sad eyes watching their guardian and praying she will be okay.

"Don’t take your eyes off her" He said sternly to Olivia, she bowed.

"Be careful brother, the Witch Realm might not be like what it was" Celeste said with worried eyes.

In silence he walked out of the door, he turned just when the iron doors almost shot close, taking a hard look at his wife, his fist clenched hard as he looked away.

"Let’s go," he said, sauntering along the halls and Alaric came into view following beside him. A portal opened before them and they walked through it.

"Will it exactly lead to the Witch Realm? Those sorceresses might have blocked the path" Alaric said facing his silent brother, his features were cold and unreadable.

"You still doubt my power brother," he says with a snap of his finger they teleported to a tropical area, and sounds of birds chirping could be heard. "They did block it as you said but nothing gets past me"

"The great Magnus, never doubted you brother, you’re always full of surprises" Alaric commented as they strolled the path. "Let’s hope they don’t think we’re here to attack them"

At his words a wave of force pushed towards them, Nicklaus stretched his hand forward conjuring a dark shield that covered them.

"Et tes hi to ni bis" they heard the multiple chanting sounds as a group of five women came out of the bushes.

"Et tes hi to ni bis"

"Et tes hi to ni bis"

"Et tes hi to ni bis"

"Et tes hi to ni bis"

"Et tes hi to ni bis"

They chanted as the imaginary force that pushed toward them became heavier, but Nicklaus stood his stand, Sorceress was always stronger in groups but it was gonna take a lot more than five to stop him.

His eyes went completely black as he closed his palm and the force dispersed, pushing them back as they slammed against the tree hard, they got up for another fight.

"ENOUGH!" A voice boomed as a woman came behind them, she had dreaded white hair long, reaching her waist, and her arms were covered in white tattoos, unlike the other sorceress who had black tattoos instead of white. She was beautiful, her skin smooth and silky, tan color and shiny, her eyes an ocean blue. The attire she wore was cream clothing with a thin sleeve, falling to her feet.

"The Queen Witch herself came to say hi," Alaric said with a smirk, but then it vanished. "You should teach your ladies a little ounce of respect"

"Forgive them," She said with a smile on her lips. "Perhaps I still have much to teach them" her eyes moved to Nicklaus and her smile broadened, she gave a curt bow that surprised the other sorceress. "Queen Mathilda, Magnus"

At the mention of Magnus, fear shocked the eyes of the others, not realizing who they attacked they quickly bent their heads.

"I never knew you were still loyal to the Darkmore" Nicklaus spoke sternly.

Mathilda raised her head. "Well you see after the elders our ancestors thought to seek our own freedom, even in separate realms we’ll always be an ally of the Vampire Realm"

"It is no longer the Vampire Realm, the Darkmore Realm"

"Ha, yes we heard rumors, you have reunited with your long lost love and joined your Realms together hence creating the largest Realm this world has ever seen"

"Rumors spread fast I see," Alaric said.

She smiled. "Tell me...what can I do for you, we still honor the decree of Elder Vlad," she said.

"There is no longer Elder Vlad, the Elders are no more, I’m the present and the Future of the Vampires, it is mine decree now. Perhaps you should have known that and reached out for me after the ending of the Elders, don’t tell me your Coven merely seeks freedom, your kind left us because you thought the ending of the Elders meant the end of your kind" Nicklaus said.

Her smile slowly faded and she sighed. "Yes... seems like the great Magnus is wise as they say. Our ancestors thought it would be the end of us after the Elders, who knew one of the Darkmore siblings would come in contact with the Holy Library, the birth of all knowledge, and lead his people into glory".

"So you should know now Mathilda, where your loyal now lies"

She smiled. "With you Magnus, it’s your decree now" she bowed her head.

"Good. Because I have come here for the sake of my Mate, Sorceresses aren’t just known for magic and Grimores but healers too. Your kind is blessed with only women so you understand your gender more than anyone" Nicklaus said.

"Women, huh? Maybe I should have visited more" Alaric said, smirking.

"Alaric!" Nicklaus snapped at him and he shrugged before winking at the other ladies.

They giggled silently at his flirtatious habit, eyeing him with lustful eyes.

"I see your reputation still precedes your god of lust," Mathilda said.

"I need your help with my Empress" Nicklaus began in a serious tone.

"I’m more than happy to help"

The Darkmore Realm

"She’s so cold," Celeste said, feeling Yelena’s temperature, she groaned in her sleep.

"I hope the Emperor gets here in time," Olivia said, extremely worried.

"I doubt that we haven’t been in contact with the Witch Realm ever since the Elders, it’s gonna take some difficult time, Sorceress isn’t exactly persuasive," Celeste said.

But instantly the doors barged open and Nicklaus and Alaric along with a strange looking woman walked in.

"Brother you’re back?" Celeste said, stunned.

"How is she?!" Nicklaus demanded walking to the bed and holding her hand.

"Too cold, Emperor, it’s like it’s getting worse," Olivia said.

"Everything will be alright now," Nicklaus said, pressing a kiss on her knuckles.

"Alaric, who is this?" Celeste said, eyeing the woman suspiciously.

"The Queen Witch, Mathilda, came to help us," Alaric said.

"What?" she faced Mathilda with stern eyes. "I never knew Sorceress were generous"

"We still have loyalty for the Vampire Clan, Lady Celeste, that will never change"

Celeste opened her mouth to speak.

"Let her, Celeste," Nicklaus said. She closed her mouth, taking a long look at her before giving way.

"Have you checked her magic?" she asked, taking a seat at the edge of the bed.

"Yes the first thing I did, Her magic is shifted and divided, growing within her"

"I see," Mathilda said checking her pulse, she closed her eyes. "She’s so cold... I have never seen anything like this before"
