CHAPTER 32: LADY OF THE HOUR

She sneaks up in those smoky darkest nights, lightening her wand, she hears explosions from afar, she sees those lights of explosions in her path, she hears monsters on her side, growling throughout the journey, she uses her wand abruptly releasing blue smoke as it absorbs the smoke of such monsters, Claudia works hard, doing her best to reengineer the smoke so that both of them can return monsters to normal; the blue smoke was released as she sneaked up and slowly rans as the enemies approached; the smoke was glowing with blue dust as it sparkled all over the place, reducing and eliminating all of the enemy's smoke. She found three monsters ahead of her, she was shocked that such monsters were hideous, the monsters were angry, they all stood and ready their spikes as it will explode towards Misteria, as it aims, she walks beside the wall and flips around those monsters there she land on them, such spark of explosions as she flips was fantastic, and jump all over as she kicks the monster's back and them making the blue smoke inhaled by them, The monsters hesitate and try to get off Misteria's back, three of them smash each other and throw explosions as Misteria jumps all over them, the monsters shrunk slowly by time and get to their original formation, a human but as a witch, she looks at it, she can tell that it is asleep, as the woman was half naked with no clothing after she was healed from being a monster, Misteria continues to pursue every monster she can find, wall by wall, giggling with delight along the way.

Misteria drifts as she was chased by monsters she smiled, as the sun is almost rising, the monsters stop as they inhale such magic blue smoke, Explosions were stop at each section of the streets, Misteria stops for a while as she breathes as she saw monsters getting back to normal, and the enemy's smoke was gone bits by bits as both of them rise as the sun rises from their land, she sighs heavily, as she ask Claudia with out of breath,"Claudia?, Are we done now, it's feels like all the monsters are gone, what's next", Claudia replied with tired tone "I think we're done silly, do you see anyone missing or someone in your eye that is left?, maybe we left one?", Misteria replied as she relaxes her breath and body at the same time she does such stretches on her, she takes off her mask to breath freely,"I think we need to see anyone if they are okay, we have to wake those who are asleep on the ground".

Claudia couldn't agree more, both of them ran to the victims of hideous monsters, she asks one as she saw it waking up from the ground, Misteria goes to her and ask her with worried eyes,"wake up, do you know what happened to all of you", the woman's eyes felt it blurry as it was cleared as she focus quickly and she saw Misteria's face and eyes and tells her,"princess? Is that you?" The woman coughs and continues in a soar voice,"the last thing I knew was I cough blood and had such rough skin in my body, and I was growling I felt a pain on my body very hard, and such pain also in the back, and there's something you must know", Misteria asks"what is that I must know?" The woman became and tells her, "before such monsters release smoke the lady of the hour took the governess in the woods of Misteria, I don't know what will happen to her but I know it is all a trapped as far as I know it, those monsters chained her up upon her feet and hands all together in one, we don't know how but they took her there", she pointed it out in front of her, a path towards the woods,"we must make a plan before going there, we don't know who are we after, they're powerful than we can imagine", the other witches tries to stand as they were trying to be awake,"Misteria asks her with courageousness , "do you want to come with me?" Misteria lends her hand and waiting for the woman to accept her offer she added to her,"come on, let's get the governess and will protect our home", the woman agreed and tells her,"I'm in princess," she grabs her hand and Misteria pulls her up as both of the stand straight, as the others they heard they're conversation, and some of them wants to join in rescuing the governess.

They all said, "were in princess", were gonna save the governess","lady of the hour will be gone forever", Misteria was delightful at the same time proud as she heard such motivational words from their hearts, a wind pass by , with white glow and dust going through their hands as wands in fully white return, they used the wands first to dress themselves in battle with elegant mode, all of them look stunning, as Misteria tries the magic herself, her dress and style became beautiful and elegant with a warrior style, the witches use magics, glows everywhere, and sparkle was seen as they swoosh they're wand all over the place to try them if the magic is back and worth, Misteria commanded them to stand in formation, and held they're wand properly as they will go to the dangerous woods.

"The governess is in danger, we need to go save her, I want all of you to use magic as you can with no limit to defeat those enemies", The crowd agreed and shouted, "let's bring back Misteria", Misteria felt the energy and such power of them, as they ready there wand, barging into the woods to find the governess, Misteria questions herself, "why do they want the governess? Why in the woods? Is she okay?, What is now happening in this world, it's full of chaos, war, evil will never change"they are now going to the woods, witches uses their wands and stand guard, with whatever is happening, the wand glow as the woods is dark, Misteria heard an eerie noise in her ears, she heard it, she follows it , the others didn't lose their way to be with Misteria, there all of them heard again another one added, a laugh of a woman chuckles with evil, they heard it anywhere in the woods, they feel like they were cornered everywhere, the witches gather side by side as they were all afraid, birds noises came in, and they heard a governess shout, "Go, get out of here", all of them followed it and ran, a woman of Misteria's side, told her with doubt,"I think I heard that voice, I think she is telling us to go, we are scared of what's happening, we cannot disobey her", Misteria halts as the others followed her, she told her,"we must get the governess, witches population is only small, and we cannot let more lives a t stake because of such lady of the hour is here, we need to save every witch we can try", the woman spoke to her back,"but this feels weird, we must go back, the governess is strong", "me too, this weird feeling in my heart, it feels like it is heavy", Misteria added to her.

The woods became quiet as they carefully listens to anything that they can heard of, they heard a governess scream in pain, they ran again and they pass all bushes, and all of them saw the governess tied in chains upwards and downwards in a wall as the governess nods her head saying no to all of them, telling them not to come here, birds noises they heard again, the governess yelled again as if her diaphragm gives her all,"Gooooo!!!" She yelled at them with worriness and tearful looks, Misteria steps back as she saw the governess situation, she felt the hesitation and tells the witches, "we must go now" she looks at the woman she spoke before, "I think your right, we must go now", all of them retreat , and Misteria tries to run to the governess to cut off the chains, she uses her wand and release a whip of fire out of her wand, and whip again and again the chains, the other witches stayed by Misteria and guards her side, they all use magics in their way, The governess spoke with distress while Misteria cuts the chains,"Misteria you must leave now with the others, you don't know what they are capable of", the governess feels frightened by monsters, Misteria says to her, "we must get you out of here alive or else they will kill you", sound of trees and wind were heard quickly, they all felt and heard it, the governess now worries, one chain cutted, as they still cut the other one, the governess was now scared and her heartbeat was irregular, and tells Misteria,"I think they're here, you must go", "I'm not afraid of them" Misteria replied, "I see you're not afraid" all of them heard a voice of such weird woman afar, the governess spoke looking into the woods, as Misteria halts cutting the chains as she focus such weird voice, "are you sure about that?" They heard it again, "I think it's too late, they already knew this from the start".

Trees were falling in front of the witches who ran to retreat, they use their magic but the ground cracks and a portion of it lifts up as they were stunned the ground rumbles and they all let go of their wand as the ground pushes it away from them, all of them were distress and scared by such magic didn't been use, Misteria was pushed by air as the other were, the ground lifts up and they were all surrounded by such walls of the earth element, around them was soil, Misteria felt it was a punch in her belly, as she was push drastically, the governess tries to break off the chains on her own, but an electric came in the chain, and it tortures her loud and clear, getting electrocuted, Misteria was confused, worried, and tormented, by all of the means, she doesn't know what to do, as she breathes hards, a woman spoke they heard it loud and clear,"so you're back princess?", It giggled with evil tone, "so are you still not afraid?" All of the witches were trapped and it felt a maze, "let's play a game", a woman said , she is one of the lady of the hour, she added ,"if the governess tells me what I want, all of you can go except Misteria, we need her, do all you don't want to go out? This is a maze, if you find the way to the governess then it will be the exit", in front of Misteria and the other witches builds a path, the earth wall goes down and Misteria tells to herself,"a game?, Really, the governess will never tell her such information, I trust her", all of the witches steps on their walls, and readies to run as the woman told them ago to start to finding their way to the governess, they heard a governess scream really hard they cannot bare to heard any of it, but they all focus on getting out with or without her, the woman left a thing to them with evilness,"guys no magic, you will know what will happen", Misteria heard it loud and clear, she puts the wand in her waist with a pocket,

They all search for such way out, running towards the sound of the governess scream each time they heard it, they turn left and right, we never the maze got a dead end, they turn back and find ways again and again, such traps were found in the maze, Misteria dodge it every time such as, shooting arrows, she pass the thorns of nature, she runs side in the walls when the floor is lava, every where there was always a trap, and a challenges she faces, she encountered mutated monsters with no eye, she gently readies her self, and kicks them anytime they got near her, she punches them in the face, the monsters didn't hold back, they throw Misteria onto the side of the walls, left and right , she felt pain, she tries to break way, she uses her wand and get it from her pocket, and made a burning and fire spell burning the monster in such red flames with such fiery eyes, she then felt an electrocution on her body suddenly, her body felt the electricity and hurt her pretty bad, Claudia felt the pain also in the wand, she cannot bare to feel it anymore, Misteria screams out of suffering, then it stops, she heavily breathes seemingly out of balance and air, a woman voice heard again by every witches announcing to them in such weird way, "ah ah ah, no magic, I've seen that girl with such magic, every one of you who uses magic, gets pain of electricity, do you want to do it again, understand?, You will suffer more", a loud scream were heard everywhere, when Misteria gets to her goal, saving the governess and the others, the others only want to save themselves, but some were on her side of goal, monsters never seen before appear each time they are getting near, she finds every way and opening she can see, many monsters chased them, Misteria saw another witch with such eyes that ready to kill, Misteria saw her and a monster in her back suddenly appear, and Misteria runs her to it and yelled at her, "at your back", the woman kicks the monster, as Misteria jumps and kicks it in the face, the monster didn't give up and tries to stand with anger, the Misteria and the woman were side by side and readies their fist, and Misteria tells her,"Who are you?, Are you on our side?"The woman replied, "I'm Thalia, saving the governess is my goal and saving the princess who will be our queen in this territory, have you seen any witches nearby on your way?" Misteria replied "no, but just screams of them, we need to get out of here immediately Thalia" Thalia added "first let's finish these hideous monster first", both of them Punch the monster in the face using their fist as the monster gots knockout and unconscious as they go their way in getting out.
