Chapter 366 - Mess
"While he's still distracted with Onyx, this is the best time for you to bind him and cage him inside a crystal." Zirrus continued and she knew he was right. This might be the only chance for her to aim her spell at him and trap him.
"He is right, my queen. You need to decide now. If he takes control of all the dragons and have them all go against us… things might go beyond hopeless for us." The other light faes encourage her with urgency. They remembered that thousands of years ago, the fall of Crescia also had to do with some parties being controlled.
Silently, Evie stepped forward. Her gaze fixed on her lover and her dragon. The other dragons were still circling about in the sky, waiting for her command to attack Gav, while Onyx was being held down to the ground as if an invisible chain had chained him to Gav.
Gav's hands were stretched out, his palm facing Onyx and a thick beam of dark magic was aimed at and going into the majestic dragon.
Onyx roared as the dark magic seemed to be seeping into his chest.
"My queen!" the light faes began to panic. Evie could not blame anyone for urging her. She knew what was at risk. The urgency of the situation currently needed her to be quick and firm in determining on what to do next. She must decide now as there was no more time to lose.
As she lowered her lids resolutely, Evie tried to do something else aside from trapping her own husband inside a dark crystal of her making. But she could not get through to Onyx anymore. She could not see anything through his vision other than pure darkness.
Gritting her teeth, her eyes flew open again. Evie could only give up trying to get through to Onyx. She paused for a couple of seconds, then made a decision before spreading out her wings and flying towards them.
Her mind was in a mess now. This could not be happening! How did things progressed such until it ended up like this?
Suddenly, she remembered Galleous' story, about his queen trapping him inside the crystal. She remembered her response to him. And now she could not believe she was in this very same situation. She could not accept even the thought of it, that she was going to do the same thing that his queen had done to Galleous.
How could she do that to her own husband? To Gav? Was there really no other way to stop him now? To make him go back to how he used to be? Or perhaps a way for him to bring all that dark magic under control?
Trapping someone was not as easy as she used to think before. Because apparently, trapping someone more powerful than her would require an unimaginable amount of magic. But that was not the only problem. Her biggest problem was that she would not be able to undo the spell as easy as how she freed the other light faes before.
She had asked the light faes about this matter when she was trapped by Gav in Crescia because one of Evie's plans on how to deal with Thundrann was to trap him inside a crystal again. So, she had learned that trapping someone strong will require great amount of magic and it would take years for the caster to be able to free the person again. Nobody else can free the trapped powerful creature aside from the caster him or herself. It could be forced, but the caster or another light fae queen must offer her blood and life in exchange.
Evie had asked how many years it will take until caster could free the trapped creature without any sacrifices and Zanya had told her that the earliest recorded time duration was five years.
The thought that she was going to trap Gav inside a crystal for five years or more made Evie's heart clench in so much pain. How could she do that to him? They have been separated for a while since she left Dacria and now she needed to forcefully separate them again? And for years this time? But then, what other method was available for her to turn to other than that?
As she flew closer and closer, Evie still could not quite decide.
She wanted to go and try everything to stop him, to make him see her and come back to himself again. But the fear was immense. What if she got hurt or her unborn child was harmed in the process? She would not be able to take it if that happens! But then again… her Gav…
The dilemma was ripping her heart apart.
"My queen! This is your chance!" Zirrus shouted and Evie saw Gav roaring. The sardonic laughter plastered on his face had faded.
Immense dark magic was pouring out from him in waves. She looked at Onyx and the dragon was also wailing as it trashed against the magic that was spiralling around him tightly, brutishly holding him down.
The sight had made Evie's heart shudder. He looked as though he was about to succeed.
Another shout echoed behind her, and Evie began to glow. Left without an alternative method to turn to, she summoned her magic. Her hands were trembling as she looked at her husband.
She stretched her arms pointing her palms towards him. She could not believe she was really doing this, but there was nothing else she could do.
"I promise I will do anything… everything… to free you as soon as possible." She whispered and magic began to gather over her palms. "I will do anything Gav… I will not keep you in there for too long… I promise!" She bit her lower lips so hard it nearly broke skin and bled.
And as she was about to release her magic, Onyx roared again. This time louder and Evie saw a dark miasma reeking out from his body. Its amber eyes began to darken as well.
Evie's eyes widened. And a realization flashed in her glowing amber eyes. No! Gav's not trying to control him! This is… Gav is sending him his magic, right? Or is Onyx drawing it forcefully from Gav?!
