When they get out they are looking everyone is sleeping they get shocked that they spent a lot of time there which they didn't even feel. They moved to their homes. Lysandra left for soemwork while Isabella Sit on bed next to Aurora. Than, Aurora wakes up and said
"you are still waking, what are you thinking and where were you, you had skipped all 2 classes today?"
Isabella said "I was feeling not well, and have got fever that's why I'm resting in our dorm".
Aurora said "dont lie to me, I know you, you were not at school even at home, Isabella although, we fight too much and you dont believe on me, it's okay. but at the end of the day I realised I'm your sister Isabella. We should never hide talks with each other and I prove myself to tell you about the truth of my past, my new appearance, my awkward dreams about wolfs, Faries even my too cold weeding with Andrew. The guy I hate most. "Both chukles" Aurora added "So just tell me what's going in your mind so I can help you?"
Isabella share everything that she face today in library and the unsolved puzzles.
Isabella said "The puzzle is gesturing towards life and death. I'm confused that how can I perform that like I performed fire with spell, water with water, air with my breath. But now its asking for death and life. Its impossible.
Aurora said "its possible, (Isabella looking at her very shocked) through earth, I mean look there are all living things perform both death and life. Like plans, animals and insects. Like us. You know what I'm talking about.
Isabella stand and start running towards outside the ground Aurora behind her. She picks up a flower of lily and a fallen leaf from the tree and went to old library at night with Aurora.
Aurora's eyes widen she was looking the last section first time.
Isabella places the fresh flower on the tile and the fallen death leaf on the next time both tiles start glowing and showing their symbols. Aurora looking it with wide eyes. Her mouth open wide and stuck.
Isabella start spiritual spell calmly. The 12 tiles begin to glow brighter. When the final tile is activated, the twelve tiles synchronize and create a magical pattern on the floor. The pattern then shifts, revealing a hidden circular well like portal that opens to the Sanctum of Ancient.
Aurora said "What the hell is this?"
Isabella said "I dunno we can get answers in it."
Aurora said "no way I'm not going."
Isabella said "I'm going alone . "
"Okk" Aurora take candel and join Isabella.
Isabella and Aurora stand before a circular well-like structure hidden deep within the ancient library. The portal, made of ancient, powerful rocks, emanates a faint, mystical energy. The walls of the well are inscribed with intricate symbols and text in the Draconian language. The structure is impressive, with circular stairs winding down into the unknown depths.
Isabella: (Holding a candle) "This has to be it. The answers are down there."
Aurora (Nervously) "Are you sure about this, Isabella? This place... it feels so ancient and powerful. I've never seen anything like it."
Isabella (Determined) "I'm sure.
The fire of unlocking her powers shining in her eyes. Both girls are scared but Isabella fighting with her internal conflicts.
The forest stood silent under the moonlight, the pale beams casting an ethereal glow on the Elemental Lake nearby. Sirela stood at the edge of a rocky ledge, the moonlight reflecting off her shimmering crystal-like tail. Her siren song hummed softly in the air, almost inaudible, as she whispered her thoughts to the moonlit water below.
Behind her, a faint figure emerged, shrouded in the shadows of the forest. Salena Varro stepped closer, her heels silent against the damp earth, her silhouette blurred by the moon's haze. Her dark curls swayed with each movement, and her crimson eyes gleamed faintly in the dark.
Without turning, Sirela spoke, her voice sharp but calm.
"I know you. You're Salena Varro."
Salena smiled, her lips curling into a mischievous smirk. "Oh, I'm flattered. My reputation precedes me." Her voice was honeyed, smooth, yet laced with something dangerous.
Sirela finally turned, her crystal wings catching the moonlight like shards of glass. "What do you want, Salena?"
Salena stepped forward, her movements feline, deliberate. "What I always want, darling. Power. But more importantly, your power." She stopped just a few feet away, tilting her head as if studying Sirela's every reaction. "You know, you have something truly unique inside you. Something I can't resist."
Sirela tensed, her body shifting as if ready to spring into action. "I'd rather die than give you anything."
Salena laughed, low and amused, before her face transformed. Her smooth skin rippled as veins burst to the surface, her crimson eyes glowing fiercely. Her sharp fangs extended, glinting dangerously in the moonlight.
"Let's not be dramatic," she purred, her tone dripping with mockery. "We both know that's not true."
Sirela's eyes widened at the sudden shift. Instinctively, she began to hum a siren's melody, her voice rising like a haunting wail. The air around her thickened, vibrating with a strange, hypnotic energy. Salena staggered back, clutching her head as if overwhelmed. She groaned, her nails digging into her scalp.
Sirela's lips curved in a triumphant smile. "You think you're in control? Think again. I'm a siren, Salena. You can't win." Her tone was icy, almost mocking.
But Salena abruptly straightened, her hands dropping to her sides. Her eyes burned brighter, her smirk returning, wider this time. "Oh, sweet girl, you really thought that would work on me?" Her voice dropped, becoming a seductive whisper. "I've been around longer than your little lullabies. Let me show you what real power looks like."
Before Sirela could react, Salena lunged, grabbing her by the shoulders with an iron grip. Sirela struggled, but Salena's strength was inhuman, unyielding. She leaned in close, her lips brushing Sirela's ear.
"Give me your blood," Salena commanded, her voice low and hypnotic. Her words weren't a request-they were a compulsion.
Sirela's body froze, her resistance melting away. She tried to fight the pull, her mind screaming in protest, but her hands moved against her will, raising her wrist to Salena's lips. "No... I... can't..." she stammered, her voice trembling.
Salena's smile widened, victorious. "That's right, darling. Give in." She sank her fangs into Sirela's wrist, drinking deeply. The siren's royal blood burned like fire as it coursed into Salena's veins.
Sirela gasped, her body growing weaker with each passing second. Her knees buckled, but Salena held her upright, savoring every drop.
When Salena finally pulled back, her lips stained with crimson, she licked them delicately, savoring the taste. "Delicious," she whispered, her voice sultry. "You've been most generous, Sirela. I'll be sure to repay the favor... someday."
With a blur of movement, Salena was gone, disappearing into the shadows as if she were never there.
Sirela collapsed to the ground, clutching her wrist, her breath ragged. "You won't win, Salena," she muttered weakly, her voice defiant despite her exhaustion. "I'll stop you... no matter what."
The moonlight above seemed colder now, casting a pale, eerie glow over the forest. Somewhere in the distance, the Blood Lake rippled as if in response, its surface dark and ominous.
