Fifty two

Natalia.

I was in full form, I had shifted into Winx, it was an image I had never seen before, she was huge and I felt powerful being in her body. “It can’t be, how did you break the spell?” Damien said, he got off his chair and tried countering a spell. Winx immediately formed an ice blast and Damien was on the floor.

“I'M A ROYAL DRAGON AND I SHALL PROTECT WHAT’S MINE!” Winx spoke in English.

‘I like her already, we are gonna bound well.’ Bradox said, I rolled my eyes at him. Since Winx was in dragon form, I and Bradox were now together.

“Winx save Rome, don’t let Damien get to him,” I said to Winx, her eyes immediately landed on Rome, he was still unconscious and the sorcerer had already run for his life.

“Rome!” Winx called out, she immediately ran to him and tore the rope, she lifted him and put him on her shoulder.

“You are not taking him away!” Damien yelled, sending a fireball our way. Winx was strong enough to dodge it, I wasn’t in control at all and she could do whatever she wanted to, it was honestly horrifying but Damien deserved it.

“Don’t you ever dare!” Winx yelled, she immediately sent a fireball toward Damien and he fell roughly to the floor, it was a terrific sight to behold. Winx began to meditate she began to lighten up and suddenly, Rome immediately floated up in the sky, I didn’t understand what was going on but it looked magical. His eyes suddenly sprouted open, he looked very powerful.

“Natalia!” He called out to me, I suddenly began shifting and falling to the ground.

“Winx what happened?” I asked her, I felt extremely weak, I was naked and wearing nothing.

Rome immediately met the floor, he yanked a curtain and used it to wrap me up. “You saved me, Natalia.” He called, my head was hurting badly, and I couldn’t hear anything.

“Rome, I’m glad we can fight man to man.” I heard Damien’s voice, my sight was blurry.

“I’m glad I can finally kill you as well Damien,” Rome said, he got up to his feet, and I watched everything that happened with keen eyes. I was very weak, my head was hurting and my bones felt like they weren’t in place.

“I hate you so much and it’ll be an honor for me to kill you,” Damien said, Rome walked over to him. He had a wife grin on his face.

“I will kill you, and feed your remains to my wolves!” Rome said, Damien let out a very demonic laughter, my heart skipped a beat at the tone at which his laughter echoed. Damien was quick to send a spell flying over to Rome, Rome caught the spell and threw it back where it came from.

“Your mother killed my mother, today I shall avenge her death on you and make you pay!” Rome said, he threw a spell at Damien, but he didn’t budge.

“Your mother was a slut, she took my father away from me.” The minute Damien uttered those words, he went flying into a wall, making it crash and hitting the floor.

“My mother isn’t a slut, don’t you ever speak about her!” Rome fired a lightning spell on Damien, and he screamed.

“Today you’ll know why I’m known as the lethal king, the king of death!” Rome began to float in the air, the whole castle began to rumble, it became darker and the sky began to rumble, and lighting shot at Damien, his screams filled the castle as well as the laughter that followed.

“I will not die alone, your bitch must come with me to real of souls.” He said, he shot a spell at me, I couldn’t move, I tried to move before it came for me but I was stuck, it was fast and then and there, I knew it was my end. My eyelids closed slowly, hoping for the death to be slow and painless.

But, nothing, nothing happened, my heartbeat was loud and I could hear myself think, I opened my eyes slowly to find the place where Damien was lying filled with ash and blood. I turned to Rome, only to find him lying on the floor unconscious. My heart skipped a beat and I tried my very best to make my way toward him.

“Rome!” I called faintly while placing my head on his chest in other to get any form of heartbeat, but there was none, his body was still. “ROME!” I yelled, my heart breaking beyond words.

“He isn’t dead, he is in the spirit realm.” I heard Nyx say as she walked into the room. Her eyes were fixated on her brother's ashes, tears filled her eyes.

“Then why isn’t he getting up? What’s wrong with him? He is immortal, why is he lying there lifeless.” I said to Nyx with so many tears in my eyes.

“Rome isn’t dead, his body isn’t going to decay, but you can never get him back again, the spell Damien used on you was a trapping spell, now he’s dead and no one can reverse it but him alone,” Nyx explained, tears falling right out of her eyes, I knew it was very hard on her, losing two brothers in a day.

“There must be a way to save Rome, we can’t just let him die just like that,” I said.

“The only way is to get access into the spirit portal and get my brother to break the spell on Rome.” She said.

“How do I do that?” I asked. I was extremely emotional at the moment.

“By dying, but you are also immortal, you can’t die so we have to find another way.” She said.

“I’m immortal?” I asked and she nodded.

“You have his mark, which makes you immortal as well.” She said, I placed my hand on my mark, I stared down at it and it was slowly wearing off.

“My mark?” I said.

“It’ll take months before it clears, but it means Rome doesn’t have much time.”
