Chapter 42: Cracking the Skull

Despite Lila's contrasting ideas she still submitted to the order given by King Cyrus. It got complicated when the two succubus entered different rooms. Lehi took Urchin and Lila went with Natalina. Lila entered the room using her portal. Natalina take in the view of the said room. There was no bed just a cold floor cemented in red in a cylindrical shape. It looked like a tube. Natalina hath prayed for her sapphire gem stone.

"Lord God cloth us with you majesty and wings that we may survey and protect our friend. I humbly ask that we would be supplied with endurance, patience and faithfulness. We thank your glory, Amen. "

The corundom made a huge transparent square to blend them on the cieling. Thankfully the cieling is painted in rich blue. Lila snorted when she saw the woman named Ramah fasten her husband on top of the cylindrical cement.

Ramah can sense the dreadful presence of a saint. She allowed them to enter her chamber. She purposefully tied her victim on her bed to avoid any casualties when he wakes up. Her ears have heard the unpleasant snort right on top of her. Ramah smirked and begun to unzip the hoodie of her victim. She traced her hand with Kiel's jaw line down to his biced and tapped his stomach in a playful manner. Ramah can't help but enjoy how the scent of jealousy spread on her cieling. Her ears have caught a clenching jaw and to deliver her final blow, Ramah unbuckled Kiel's belt.

Natalina can feel how intense Lila's glare and furious aura. She's been digging her nails on the sapphire wall. When Natalina saw how the woman enjoyed Kiel's bare skin Natalina can now fathom the source of her anger. Natalina snapped her finger and they landed on the floor right beside Ramah.

This Ramah woman ignored their sudden jump and was about to implant a kiss to Kiel's unconscious lips. Lila kicked the woman who is striding her husband. Natalina expected that, but not that strong. While Lila pace toward the woman. Natalina unchained Kiel and fixed his garment.

Ramah knew that a jealous woman is dangerous but not violent. As Lila's eyes shift in color from her insanity Ramah can feel a presence of augury. It reeks with rustic blood not of today but of ancient. As her heels tapped her floor she can see a foreshadow of someone who slained even the saints and prophets. She have heard of that gruesome queen's descendants but not this early for encounter.

Lila was about to grab her on the hair when Ramah dodge her hand and kicked her knee cap. Lila was about to have her face on the wall but Ramah transported behind her . Ramah grabbed Lila's hair making her body bend backwards because of the pain. Lila tried to unclasp her fingers tangled on her hair but Ramah strike her shoulder with her free elbow. Lila leaned side ways because of the intense pain inflicted by Ramah's elbow.

Natalina prayed for a sapphire stone to enveloped Kiel while unconscious. Natalina glanced at Lila and saw her on the floor. Ramah hit her with her right leg and Lila laid flat on the floor. Ramah was about to stamp on Lila stomach when Natalina grab the chain nearest to Ramah. She locked it on her neck and Natalina immediately prayed for a silver rope to bind the half witch. Lila stood up and motioned Natalina to take Kiel.

Lila for the first time opened her mouth in prayer.

"Our Father who knows the way when we can't find one, We knock unto You and asking Your guidance for us to get back at the palace. Amen. "

Kiel got caught by Cyrus while Ramah struggled as Aquila sat in front of her. Aquila thank Lila and Natalina before the two got transported back to where Lehi and Urchin are left.

Lehi used her coal shoes with a sudden and forceful blow thrusting her foot on the door. They got welcomed by a huge injection flying toward them Lehi picked a components of the door and used it to counter the attack from Ophir's abductor. Her brownish curls wiggle as she tried to pull her injection from the rubble but Lehi did not give her more time to move. Lehi used the piece to knocked the woman on the wall. Urchin touched Ophir and took him to a trance. Urchin located Lila and invited her inside his trance. Lila again transported Ophir within the castle.

Natalina surveyed all the area. She broke the windows, overturned every furniture but she can't find the item described by Aquila.

Lehi noticed that her curls would get a hue of yellowish and red when it got reflected by the glass. Lehi took another rubble and used it to break the window glass. It made a shattering sound that made the brown head got offensive. Lehi got herself thrown on the broken shreds. Her wound reacted when it hit the uneven floor.

"Maritha, Remember my name and take it to your grave. "

The woman froze when Urchin touch her back. Lehi felt a tide of relief when Urchin resued her. Lila appeared beside Urchin and updated her about the item they have been looking for.

Lehi and Urchin searched for Natalina and saw her rampaging all over the place. Natalina embraced Lehi and mentioned about Aquila's request.

"Ramah mentioned it like a riddle and it goes like this, I am something expensive but is used to wipe a humble feet. "

Lehi heared or read it somewhere.

When she looked up she saw a rib that is well tended. Natalina grab a piece of broken glass and swinged it like a boomerang.

Lehi caught the rib and noticed the supporting bone in the middle filled with something shinny and fragrant.

"Alabastar jar! but the bone is maximized as the container. "
