The Silver Crescent Alpha Prince

Chapter 309 - Trapping

Dawn whipped her head to the back and found Emma standing there. Her eyes were glowing red and her claws were out for a kill. "Did you— did you—"

In a cold voice that matched her demeanor, Emma said, "Yes, I brought him here. The two dragons on the outside were trying to break the portal to get in."

A guard came to them to stab them with his blazing javelin, but Emma shoved the weapon aside and picked him up with his neck. With another hand she ripped his skin through his jugular. She threw him forward and the guard's head lolled as he clung to his throat to stop the blood. Suddenly her hand started to burn.

She was a vampire and the day would scorch her. Dawn turned her head to see where Brantley was, but even before she could scan the whole arena, the weather turned dark, mimicking night. Dawn looked at Emma again and to her surprise she found a semblance of smile on her lips.

Lightning struck the skies in forks followed with thunder. Dawn's sword on the back appeared and vanished every now and then.

"Yes, when Daryn blasted the illusions, I knew it was time to let the dragons in. I held the portal apart for them to enter," said Emma. "You can thank me later. However, I have a proposition for you."

Dawn smiled. "What is it?" The woman was smart. She wasted no time in making deals. "I need something."

Sedora was bewildered when she saw two dragons hovering over the arena in the sky of Ixoviya—Quetz and Rirsyr, for the first time in her life. They were powerful beings. She saw how their scales rippled over their bodies. While Quetz was not more than fifteen feet long, it was Rirsyr who she was extremely scared of. That dragon was Brantley's and he was more than thirty feet long. He was a rogue of the Lore and Brantley was the bad boy, like really bad… until Ileus started to show his true nature. The two dragons could destroy the entire Ixoviya in a matter of minutes if they wanted, but they would never hurt innocent subjects. She focused on Daryn and sent more magic hurtling at him. Nothing worked. He had created such a solid shield around him. He was in a frenzy and he was busy protecting his men, his clan. Her eyes went to Gayle and her lips curled, "You deceived me Gayle," she muttered. "You will be punished."

Then she looked towards Emma—the vampires wanted the necklace. She knew it. Emma had been waiting for so long to snatch the necklace from Sedora that remembering that part gave her sadistic pleasure. The bitch had jumped the sides the moment she saw that she would benefit more by being with them. Was she waiting for the moment? For five centuries, Emma was slave to her whims, and now— the leech had betrayed her.

Sedora touched her necklace and it glowed. The magic it had rippled around it.

Along with other sorceri, she hurled spells upon spells towards the Lykaes, but Daryn deflected them all. Ileus was helping them as well.

It was time to turn her attention to Dawn.

She watched Dawn who along with Emma was fighting the guards as if they were toys. Emma had slashed them all one after the other, while Dawn… her dragon was killing her men with intensity and rate that scared her. Dawn was running in Quetz' direction. Now was the time. She hurled a beam of white lights in her direction and Dawn was thrown off the track. Sedora chuckled.

'Dawwwwn!' Quetz screeched.

The grey dark sky grumbled and the thick dense clouds dipped further down. Suddenly they cracked open with a loud thunder and heavy rain lashed out. The clouds couldn't withstand the anger, the fury that the weather was showing. The rain poured down with a roar, and the cries of the battle was disrupted by the loud unreserved booms of thunder.

Dawn got up to her feet and smiled through the cold icy rain that pierced her skin. She took her hands up and circled them. Droplets of water started to form above her.

Gayle saw what she was doing and then his gaze whipped to Sedora. There was magic crackling in her hands and she looked as if she was about to kill Dawn. "No! You can't do that!" he shouted. He had to protect the girl who was pregnant with his heirs. He had to protect his son's mate. With Lykae speed he ran towards Dawn jumping over the dead bodies that had piled one over the other.

Sedora, who had stopped because of the deluge of heavy rain, now resumed to walk in the air towards her target. The girl had to die. Her onyx eyes met with Dawn's. Why did they look so… silver?

Lightning cracked the clouds every now and then and was now dangerously low. It was as if waiting for someone to touch it.

Water droplets circled around Dawn as if they obeyed her command. She beckoned Sedora with her index finger.

Sedora gritted her teeth and brought her hands forward to throw another beam of deadly blue lights in her direction. Suddenly lightning bolts shot down from the clouds. Dawn caught one of the bolts and circled it around herself. White forked light in the form of rings surrounded to form a cage around Dawn.

Sedora's blue lights fragmented when they fell on the cage.

Water droplets traveled to Sedora and bound her. She found herself getting pulled in the cage. Her eyes opened wide with terror. "Noooo!" she shouted.

The cage opened just enough to allow Sedora to get in.

On the outside Gayle's voice was lost.

Sedora was on the ground now. She whirled around, shocked. The cage made from lightning now enclosed her and trapped her along with Dawn. Her eyes were silver like mercury.

Dawn entered her mind to extract her worst nightmare. "You have tortured way too many Sedora…"

"And I will torture you again," she said as she brought her hands down and tried to build a mental shield. She floated behind Dawn suddenly and caught her hands to shove them on the back to shackle them with her magic. In the meantime, she was preparing her ring of fire on the ceiling of the cage. Just as she was about to shackle her, Dawn twirled around and her fist shot out with lethal force. It connected with Sedora's chest.

She could hear her bones shattering. Her body hurled to the periphery of the cage as stars surrounded her vision. She heard Gayle shouting from the outside.

"This will be your last Sedora!" said Dawn as she felt that she was now leeching powers of her dragon who was hovering right over them.

"Oh shut up!" said Sedora as she got back to her feet and hurled herself with full force to take Dawn down. However, Dawn easily dodged her. Where the hell did she get this kind of agility that she was able to dodge a sorceress like Sedora?

"You seem to weaken Sedora," Dawn said in a soft voice that enraged Sedora all the more.

Sedora swirled around and launched another attack on Dawn, this time to her stomach where the twins were.
