MERCIA
68. Jasmine's Worries.
In the morning all the soldiers began to prepare, some tidied up the tent, some cooked and the rest stood guard.only August's tent and Jasmine's big tent were still standing.
"daughter Jasmine. princess Jasmine.." a soldier seemed to run in a hurry.
Jasmine exited her tent followed by Drake and a few others.
"What's wrong?" ask Jasmine.
"Daughter, we found queen Janessa and General Morwin by the river, they're on their way here."
"What.. did you find mom? sister..!" Jasmine was surprised to be pleased.
Drake nodded as he picked up the horse and left quickly towards the river, followed by several others. before long Drake was back on foot on his horse looking a woman less than fifty years old looked a little pale and weak.When he got off that horse, Jasmine immediately hugged tightly to herself.
"Momuu.."
A man suddenly knelt down.
"I'm sorry servant princess, servant can't protect queen.
"What are you talking about Morwin? you've been protecting us all this time, wake up" said Janessa.
"Mother's right, It's all just misfortune, I'm so grateful uncle stays by our side" Jasmine said.
"Jasmine brought mother and uncle into the tent, the others stood guard, Lazarus must be here soon" Drake said.
"Mr Drake you don't have to worry about him, Lazarus is dead, the young man has killed him and all his men" Morwin said.
"What..? Lazarus dead?" Drake was surprised as well as Jasmine and the others.
"Uncle what happened?" ask Drake.
"I don't know what happened, I woke up to the sound of screams and screams, when the voice disappeared a young man appeared to set us free, he also gave a hint to go towards this place, he said you and Jasmine were waiting for him, he then left. I woke up your mother, we both came out and found dozens of bodies lying around, we also saw Lazarus he died with a spear stuck in his neck" Morwin said.
"What did the young man say who he was?" ask Jasmine.
Morwin. "No, he's gone right away."
"You go to Mercia's tent check if he's still there?" jasmine orders one of the guards.
The guard nodded and left, before long he returned.
"Princess.the tent is empty, it looks like she's gone" said the guard.
"Jasmine do you know the young man who helped us?" Janessa asked.
"Mother.I'm pretty sure the one who freed mom and uncle is Mercia" Jasmine said.
Drake who had hesitated finally agreed, he thought the strongest reason that person was Mercia was that he gave direction to this place and knew he and Jasmine were waiting to free both of them.
"Well we should go back to Gavaria, I'm sure you're very worried about all of us" Drake said.
"What about Mercia? didn't we make a deal with him?" ask Jasmine.
"Deal? what deal?" Janessa and Morwin were a little surprised.
"Help him destroy something in the mirror cave."
"Cave mirror? Jasmine you know how damned that cave is, why did you make that deal?" Janessa looks worried.
"You know your father's been avoiding that place?"
"Mother, I just want you to survive and I'm sure Mercia has the ability to do her thing, Uncle Morwin Gessora seems to be doing something in Innodale city, and Mercia seems to be trying to stop the witch, he said, if we help him maybe in the future Innodale will be our ally" Jasmine said.
"So shall we go to the cave first?" ask Morwin.
"No, you go back to Gavaria, and some of you will go to the cave" Drake said.
"I'm coming with you to that cave" Jasmine said.
"it's a very dangerous place, you don't have to come" Drake said.
"I made a deal with him, you don't forbid me." Jasmine protest.
"You just want to be with her, don't you? do you like it?" drake Goda.
Jasmine's face flushed. "What are you talking about?"
"Have no quarrel, you two can go to the cave, but just observe, if something bad happens, come back soon I don't want you two to get hurt, do you two understand?" ask Janessa.
"We understand mom!"
They eventually break up into two groups, Janessa and most of the others return to Gavaria, while Jasmine and Drake as well as a few powerful fighters go towards the mirror cave to help Mercia, who is not the least, they move fast.
While Mercia had arrived at a field not far from a large cliff, flowers were blooming in all directions with a uniform color, she had also seen the entrance of the cave.
'This place feels strange, I feel danger lurking behind the beauty of this place.' August thought.
August stepped his feet into the field, he was immediately surprised by the sight of the field with blooming flowers that suddenly disappeared alternately, dry black land, dry, there is a dark green pool of water that gives off a stinging foul smell, looks strange creatures numbering in the hundreds as if guarding the place, August saw one of the creatures that are quite dominant, August, he was like the leader of the other creatures, his body was two and a half meters high, had a creepy face there were two large horns on his head, his legs were like the legs of a goat, in his hands holding a large axe.
August took a step back and again the beautiful scenery was presented before him, he was a little surprised when he saw Jasmine and the others behind him.
"is your mother okay?"
"Yes, thank you for your help, he has returned to Gavaria." replied Jasmine.
"When did you guys get here?" ask August.
"Lumayan lama, we had time to find you around this area first before deciding to enter the cave" Drake said.
August squinted his forehead, he looked at the sky for a moment then looked back at the field.
"Mercia what's wrong?" ask Jasmine.
"The airy ground in front of you is an illusion, inside are hundreds of guardian creatures, there is a big time difference in it."
"Ra... hundreds..?"
"You'd better all go" said August.
Drake Jasmine and the others looked doubtful.
"What are you gonna do?" ask Drake.
"I'm going to destroy this illusionary dome and all of them" August said.
"Mercia I know you're very strong, you've also taken out Lazarus and his men, but right now you're not facing a human being" Jasmine said, looking worried.
August just smiled at Jasmine's worries.
"You don't have to worry, well if you come here to insist on helping me, I won't refuse, but I'm asking you to follow my instructions, now you stand back I'm going to destroy this illusionary dome."
Jasmine, Drake and the others obey Mercia's orders. They moved backwards after it felt safe enough to observe Mercia who started walking forward and suddenly disappeared from their sight.
"Calm down, Jasmine, I think your boyfriend knows what he's doing" Drake said.
"You still talking that shit?" Jasmine said resentfully, though her little heart did admire Mercia, a very strong man.
**
Return to Innodale.
"Helena are you sure Mercia can break that soul stone?" ask Minerva.
"I'm pretty sure, even if she wasn't a witch, she would have found a way to destroy it" Helena replied.
The four of them continue to defend against Gessora's attack trying to destroy the protective dome.
"Sooner or later if this keeps this dome going to be destroyed, we have to do something" Freya said.
"Give up. Leave the woman to me, and the three of you can leave" said Gessora.
"I won't let you kill my sister!" minerva.
"Then you'll all die, and you're Minerva I'll make you regret being born into this world."
"Damn..How long should we wait for him? this poisonous gas is crippling my powers." Minerva.
'Mercia hurry up' Helena in her heart.
Sylvana's eyes turned red. Helena, Freya and Minerva are shocked to hear Sylvana speak for herself.
"Sylvana let me help you!"
"No, we have to wait patiently for Mercia."
"Look around you, you and the others won't be able to survive, this protective dome will be destroyed."
"Be quiet, Sonja, you're only concerned about yourself, you never care about anything but yourself."
"Not now, look at the three of them their strength is diminished, and when this dome is destroyed, they won't be able to survive."
"Don't try to trick me Sonja, why do you suddenly care?"
"You know the answer, you're just afraid of me."
reposeful.
"Helena if I get out of this dome will it be destroyed?" ask Sylvana.
"No."
Sylvana took a deep breath. "All right, I'll allow you to."
Suddenly a reddish aura shot out from Sylvana's body, her eyeballs turned red, her black hair started to turn red as well as her clothes.
"Sylvana are you okay?" ask Helena.
Sylvana looked at Helena for a moment, then looked at the dumbfounded Gessora looking at her.
"My name is Sonja" he said slowly and then darted quickly into the Gessora
