บท 25: Path The Sea

Their eyes grew wide every moment the dome terrotory shook under their feet.

They would most definitely be drowned...

They had escaped being drowned by the surging water before but now, Blake could tell that they were fated to die under water.

The territory was partitioned mid-west and now, all of the encirculated grooves had sunken leaving few poles stucked out like mantle.

Even Evie and Tera were doned for...

Evie realised that if they wanted to run a spell, their powers would not be allowed to surface in thicker realms of the dark which was the heirlocks territory.

The only way out was the powers that a dark witch possess. White witches are always restrained from using magic to some extent but the rogue ones was able to concentrate even more on the darker side of magic.

Evie could not do it.

They really needed to path the sea, walk along the seperated path and reach the other end of the sea which was tracing deep into the woods of Ruithe Ville.

Blake sighed.

"Anything guys? Am out of ideas myself..."

Blake stuttered incoherently and Evie stared blankly at him.

"I wanted to try using magic but... our white magic cannot reach to the extent of trying to Path the Sea."

Evie said and Blake turned.

Of course, they were all defenceless.

Even him thinking that they would drown opened the way for believe. He now expected it to happen, the hope that had been burning in his eyes earlier had long extinquished itself.

His hope shrank even more when Evie still tried her magic but instead of the waters to path, it remained normal, surging powerfully with waves crashing over the sloped roof and screaming in powerless rage every now and then.

But out of the blue, Tera turned to face them with her crimson red eyes glaring hard... only to face the far ends of the high seas.

"I can path the sea..."

Evie instantly turned to face her with a grim expression contorted on her face.

"Don't tell me you've turned rogue over night!"

Tera sighed..

"Evie, she can do it... you cannot. So let her be! Lowly witch..."

Blake hissed out at her and Evie frowned but remained silent as she watched Tera who concentrated on the sea.

Yes, rogue witches also have that form of powers that allows them peer through the soul of an object. For energy to pass, they either concentrate on that object.

There is a magic known as Athernal Magic... this has to do with the willing of water in its own natural force and body depicting the sturdiness of it. No.. this type of magic belongs to rogues alone.

Magic of this nature only allows one to repulsively manipulate the sea which Tera was about to do.

The next thing Blake and Evie noticed was the dark fogs which started to frolick around the mass.

It was now like with her mind, she could command the sea.

Tera using the mental picture she was seeing, she dragged up the sea in large strings and mentally... but in reality, the sea groped up and fished the air in a long thick string only to be dropped.

Tera opened her eyes again and heaved.

"Lucky us... I still remember it."

Evie stared at her.

"This is Anthernal Magic. For the rogues, how are you able to do it... I know that you are a white witch not dark... You are also able to enter and leave the Underworld Groove..."

Evie turned to Blake..

"Remember that ball of energy she created when the isle we stood on shot up in destruction. She stopped us from falling... that is a dark witches magic.."

She turned back to Tera.

"How is this possible?"

Blake stared at Tera with a suspicious look and right now, it seems to him that Tera was avoiding the question.

"Com'n let's look at the bright side. We would be free from all this cha..." She wasn't done speaking and a whole part of the heirlock's territory shook and began to sink slowly.

"Uh-oh..."

Blake stared at Tera.

"What are you waiting for?"

Immediately, she closed her eyes concentrating really hard and then... there it was. The connection with the waters and then, mentally she pushed a side of the water apart and pushed the other too.

In reality, gust of wind started so severely and then, the waters turning into one big surfing wave stood tall on one end and then ditto for the other.

Without loosing her concentration, Tera spoke.

"Guide me Blake. I cannot loose focus or else every thing will come down at us."

Blake didn't hesitate for a bit and then quickly holding her hands, Tera flinched at the contact and the next minute, to Evie's view they turned into total darkness. The darkness was due to the hovering seas standing on either side, high on to reach almost the heavens.

Looking into the entrance they came from, all of the water had long gone and the dome had gone down quick with full force so Evie crawled down seeing Blake and Tera standing by the hard path of the sea floor.

"Go on... without me. I will be right behind you both."

Tera almost lost concentration due to Evie's voice that she realised was cursing.

Is she upset?

Blake saw the wall of water suddenly loosening only for him to push Tera...

"What are you thinking? The sea..."

But before the sea could cover, she controlled it again making their lives to be saved that instant.

"Let's get out of here."

They walked along the path.

It was long...

Considerable totureable for Tera who continued concentrating and at the same time, feeling that she would run mad due to the headache she was feeling seeping into her slowly than expected.

What should she do? She cannot just keep doing nothing or else, it would drive her insane.

To keep herself calm and sane, she had to add some fun rolling around the wall of water. Probably, doing that constantly held her...

On the outside, Blake noticed the waters frolicking around in total circles that he thought that it would fall on them, but he knew better not to distract Tera.

Disengaging from the Darkness Cover, Blake dragged Evie along too to ensure that they were on par together. They musn't be anyone left when they make it to the other end so he had to take that precaution so precariously and Evie did not really protest at his gestures.

'Hmm, strange...'
