MERCIA
61. Great Witch.

Morning arrives, sunlight begins to enter through the crack of the wood to make August wake up. he is surprised to find himself and a woman asleep naked beside him.

'what happened?'

August looked at the woman's face. 'hadn't she been the woman carrying the basket?' August wants to get up looking for his shirt but suddenly Helena squirms to change her sleeping position to hug August.

'shit... I don't remember what happened, is it true said Aruna they can control my body and mind?' august's mind was filled with many questions.

The cold mountain air makes Helena's body wriggling to find a warm place, one leg is now on August's body, he was getting closer to August, August, make August dizzy and wake up something that should have fallen asleep until.

'fuck it. I can't think in these conditions.'

"are you two awake?" Helena whispered in August's ear.

August was surprised, he looked. "second? is there anyone else here?"

"hihihi.you are so funny, I mean this." said Helena grasped something, then moved slowly.

glaques. August gulped, he felt ashamed, but he could not resist.

"you like it?" ask Helena.

August did not reply, Helena smiled at August's reaction which only closed her eyes.

'i have to be careful to obey her will, until I know where Aruna and Sylvana are.' August thought.

Helena got up and positioned herself on top of August, she did exactly the same as what she did last night. Helena again felt the energy entering her body, but the energy was not as big as last night.The two of them ended up falling asleep with some questions on their minds.

**

Daytime.

"Lady Minerva the two captives were conscious" said a servant.

Minerva just nodded, she finished her lunch faster and went to the holding room.I saw Aruna and Sylvana hanging without touching the floor, both hands bound by black chains that occasionally lit greenish. Minerva's approaching Sylvana.

"What are you doing in Innodale?" ask Minerva.

"It's none of your business." replied Sylvana indifferently.

"we see how strong you are, I will definitely destroy it" said Minerva cynically and then touched Sylvana's temple.

Sylvana's body twitched she tried her hardest to resist Minerva's attack to penetrate her mind, Sylvana's nose, mouth and ears began to bleed, Sylvana was immediately unconscious.

"it turns out you're pretty strong as well" Minerva said, then started walking towards Aruna.

Aruna looks resigned, he already knows what will happen next.

"we meet again, I felt your presence when you set foot on the first gate" said Minerva.

"What do you want?" ask Aruna.

"Is that elf your friend?"

"i'm not friends with elves."

"really? I'll give you two choices to be my servant with your own consciousness or to be my dog?" minerva asked with sharp eyes.

"Cuih. I don't want to." Aruna spat towards Minerva's face.

Minerva was angry, so she pointed both fingers of her right hand towards Aruna's forehead.

"Aaaaaahhhh.." cried Aruna.

Aruna withstood the excruciating pain, his head was like a stone hit many times, Minerva's two fingers began to emit a reddish light. Aruna's cry resuscitated Sylvana, he wanted to help but he could not do anything, he said, he can only see.

Aruna's cry came to a halt along with the release of the chain shackles that bound her hands, Aruna fell to her knees one foot in front of Minerva.

"Do you know who you are now?" ask Minerva.

"I'm Aruna your servant Lady Minerva."

"No. You are not my servant. You are now my dog.., do you understand?!"

"i'm your dog Lady Minerva."

"Hahaha. Now slap your own cheek hard ten times and say you're sorry."

"I'm sorry" plaque.. Aruna slapped her own face violently making fresh blood come out of her mouth and nose.

"Hahaha good. Now clean yourself up, you've officially become my loyal guard dog."

"Thank you Lady" Aruna wiped the blood on her face with her hands.

Minerva glanced at the awakened Sylvana.

"you must be patient, you will soon catch up with your friend, I have business so can not play with you, but you rest easy I really want to have a dog from the elf hahaha." Minerva then left the detention room followed by Aruna behind her.

Sylvana grimly held back the anger, suddenly her eyeballs turned red.

"Sonja calm down now is not the time." Sylvana was talking to herself.

"It's all because of you Sylvana you're too soft, you should have let me do this job"

"if you do that, there'll be a lot of damage done."

"You're too paranoid Sylvana, let me out the magic that woman doesn't work on me, I'll kill her easily."

"Be quiet, Sonja, let me think."

"you only think about the man, you like him."

"no, I didn't think about it."

"hahaha you can't lie, I'm on your mind I know everything."

"Sheaaamm..!"

**

All day long August's activities only helped Helena pick fruit, or make bread dough, making her wonder.

'what is this witch activity? I don't feel anything threatening from him. If it keeps going on like this I'll fail.'

"may I ask you?" August says.

"of course you can." replied Helena.

"you promised you wouldn't get angry and turn me into a cat." August asked hesitantly.

"hihihi.you're funny, always comforting me I wouldn't do that to you, I promise."

"what's your real name?" ask August.

"didn't you ask me last night, did you forget?" helena said a little suspiciously.

"I mean your real name or that kind of nickname?" august dismissed Helena's suspicions.

Helena smiled "i don't have a nickname, everyone calls me Helena."

'so this woman is named Helena.' August thought.

"what more do you want to ask?" helena asked while continuing her work of making bread.

August approached Helena and hugged her from behind and kissed Helena on the neck.

"you're so naughty, don't you see I'm making bread?"

"i want to ask who is the strongest witch in the country?" ask August.

"so you just want to ask that, the strongest magician in the land of Innodale is Minerva and her sister Freya, but they have a different path, Freya is very good even though her attitude is a little cold, but they have a different path, minerva is cruel" Helena said.

"how about you are you as strong as the two of them?" ask August.

"i'm not as strong as they are, but if you help me I can be stronger than the two of them" Helena said.

"then which way did you follow?" ask August.

"i'm a follower of Minerva."

August is surprised he releases his embrace and takes a step back, Helena turns around the body he feels August's worry.

"you don't have to worry, I'll protect you from him, he'll have to step over my body if he wants to get you" Helena said, blowing back August's face.

August felt the blast had energy, but now the energy from within his body had already fended him off.

'so that's how this woman affected me.' August thought.

"I became a follower of Minerva just want to find her weakness, I want revenge" said Helena then hugged August.

"Revenge?" August surprised.

"What if Freya's sister kills you?" ask August.

"i don't care, as long as I can kill Minerva, all my goals have been accomplished."

"Helena I can make you stronger and I'll help you get your revenge" August said.

"I really need your help" Helena said.

"but I have one request" said August.

"let's just say I'll give you anything."

"Find me back with my two friends."

Helena's heart was pierced by surprise at August's request.he tried to let go of her embrace, but August did not let go he hugged Helena tighter and rubbed her back.

"when did you become fully aware?" ask Helena.

"since I woke up this morning" said August.

Helena let go of August's embrace, then sat down on the languidly bowed chair.

"so you've been all day pretending to be under my influence."

"I'm sorry, but our introduction was a lie, you lied to yourself" August said.

Helena's tears started to drip. "If you want to kill me do it quickly, if you don't leave right now..!"

"Helena I won't do both" August said.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" shouted Helena who already did not know how to behave.

But the shout was replied August with *******Helena's lips. Helena had not expected it before.

"Helena I'm gonna make you stronger than them in my own way, but it's gonna hurt a lot, do you believe me?" ask August.

Helena did not answer, she was still in shock, she just nodded slowly without hearing August's question clearly.

August holds Helena and into the room, he breaks her down, the palm of his right hand he lays on Helena's stomach. August's body begins to emit a golden radiance, the rays move around August's body towards the palm of the hand and into Helena's body.

Helena was surprised to learn the power of August energy that suddenly appeared and entered her body, the hot coldness came in and out, and now she felt her body like being stabbed by dozens of knives.

akkkh....

Now Helena saw August's left hand give off a greenish glow that was affixed to her forehead the feeling of being stabbed by dozens of knives subsided. The two stared at each other, August returned ******* lip Helena. shortly after August fell limp, Helena held August's head so as not to hit the hard side of the bed. Helena slowly rose up as if in disbelief what had just happened, her body giving off a bluish gleam.

"This is a huge force." Helena was happy not to be a bitch.she closed her eyes that power seeped in her body, it only took a few breaths to absorb that power, it took a few breaths, when he opened his eyes again he was again startled by what was seen in front of him. Seven hologram-like shadows of men and women appeared around Helena.

"You.. ma'am.. weren't the great magicians before?"
