chapter 67

He looked around, the place wasn't familiar.

Place? This was hardly a place. It was a desert.

A black desert, with a few scattered rocks, as far as the eye could see.

A single ray of light shone through the far away, setting fire to an endless cactus.

There was nothing for as far as the eye could see. There was just sand.

Hundreds of miles, of sand.

Surrounding this endless emptiness was a line of towering buildings.

Tall, dark, and forbidding.

Around it, smaller buildings.

They looked abandoned, and worn.

Frayed paint, cracked walls.

Nothing but the sky.

Suddenly there was a rush of wind. It blew softly at first, causing a few particles of sand to fly into his eyes.

Then it increased in speed and intensity.

The wind was blowing dirt and sand in every direction almost blinding him.

The wind carried him with force and hurl him across the desert till he landed in another location.

This one was not so different from the previous one.

The Lord of the Order of the Witches, a figure cloaked in long, flowing robes, stood at the center of the courtyard, surrounded by towering stone walls adorned with moss and ivy. Behind him, the entrance to the castle loomed, its heavy iron gates creaking ever so slightly in the gentle breeze.In the center of the courtyard, nestled within a small jade cradle, lay a baby. Its tiny face, peaceful and innocent, radiated a pure light that seemed to illuminate the surrounding area.

His piercing blue eyes, lined with age and wisdom, glimmered with an ethereal purpose.Satisfied that the baby, young Seraphina, was now safe from the clutches of evil, Artemus turned his attention to those who had allowed jealousy and
