Chapter 153

Malachi’s POV 

. Next day, I quickly woke up as early as I could after spending the whole night thinking about Vill. My whole night was kind of a long anticipated night , all my thoughts were about  getting the book of prophecy and the sword of truth so as to conquer the whole pack under my control. 

I quickly woke up the next day and gathered some of my soldiers, helding to night shadow's pack to meet Eliana. After some minutes, I finally got to Elaina's house, which was so stressful and tiresome. My soldiers all waited for me outside as I went inside to hear her feedback concerning the  task I gave her. 

“Who the hell is she? Where was she!" I asked just in time I entered without even remembering to greet her hoping that she would have found out about Vill for me. Eliana was so shocked by my sudden appearance.

“Oh,you scared me” she altered.

“I'm sorry I was in such a hurry. Do you say today, do you say you'll find out who she was? That's why I'm here, I'm here now” I responded horribly.

Eliana was so furious about my reaction. 

“Can't you just calm ? Why are you so obsessed with this witch?" She asked. 

“I'm sorry like I said, she has stolen from me and I must find out before anyone does" i responded.

"Hmmm” Eliana took a deep breath and worriedness took over her face. My mind traveled far in wordiness as she was about to speak up. 

“Must she be that important, I would have suggested that you should give up on finding her" she altered.

Hmm, I took a deep breath with a worried expression. I tried not to shout at her but my anger was unbearable. “Couldn't you just try to understand me at least once? I told you that I must find her,and  now. How would you waste my whole night with nothing….  This is a great disappointment” I shouted angrily. 

“Chil  okay!" Eliana counseled and went inside her secret room to bring out a compass. 

“Vill is that kind of strong witch who  lives in a hidden underground. Her power was a mighty one. I'm scared she couldn't be conquered by a mare soldier like you” Eliana explained, pointing the compass to me. 

I collected the compass with a loud gaze at her. “Do you call me a mair soldier? Which power could she possess that I wouldn't be able to conquer her, tell me, I need to know” I shouted angrily. My anger arose and was uncontrollable. 

Eliana moved closer to me with a horrific look. “Do you think you can capture a witch with your sword? Vill is really more than just a witch, she's a powerful one” Elaina explained.

"Hmm, powerful," I mused, filled with regret over my trust in Eliana. “So, she's too strong to be captured, huh? I thought you could help me, but it turns out you're just as useless as nothing,” I added with frustration as I returned her compass and stormed out of her house. Looking back, I saw Eliana's surprised and guilty expression.

Desperate, Eliana called out to me, claiming she had a solution. Intrigued, I turned around to listen. “You say you have a way?” I inquired.

“Yes, I do. I know how you can defeat her, but only if you're willing to do what it takes,” she replied.

Eliana handed me a magical powder and the previously rejected compass. “This compass will guide you to her, and the magical powder is her weakness. Once you find her, release the powder and ensure she breathes it in,” she explained.

I accepted the items, thanking her before rushing out to begin my plan.

I went out of Eliana’s chamber immediately and I saw all my soldiers awaiting me outside. I bring out the compass to check my destination. The compass rolled and turned east.  

“East!, let go" I ordered.  I and the soldiers all held toward the east and that lasted for a while. After getting to another destination hooked and sucked in the middle of the jungle I brought out the compass again to find out about the new direction. The compass was stuks and showed no further update on our direction .I became so frustrated and wondered what was going on.

“Could it be that Vill has seen us coming? How could the compass stop working in the middle of the jungle" I thought to myself, feeling so frustrated.

I quickly came down from my horse with a few soldiers to check what was going on and ordered the other soldiers to remain on their horse and stay alert. Suddenly, after walking a few steps, I saw a small hunt ahead of me, my confusion arose and I couldn't stop wondering what such a mysterious hunt was doing in this jungle. 

I wondered if people could actually live in such a terrible place. To clear my confusion, I sent some soldiers inside. As they ventured in, I double-checked my compass and was relieved to see it working perfectly. Following its direction, I eagerly headed towards a hunt only to find it empty, much to my disappointment. 

Feeling frustrated, I accidentally pushed a soldier aside, causing a heavy object to fall to the ground with a thud. Intrigued, I investigated further and discovered a metallic door. Upon opening it, I found a deep hole below. Convinced that this hidden place held a clue to Vill, I descended into the tunnel.
