Just as she finished the incantation, a sudden shift rippled through the magic in the courtyard and Shiqi smiled. Yes. Another layer sealed. She almost gave in to the urge to look at Aron and Mira. Did they really think they could stop the past from repeating itself. They were too naive..
She had lived for the last hundred years and learnt quite much... at least much more that Aron who had been held captive all this time and Emira who was born yesterday.
Suddenly, just as she was considering taking a look at them, the light that she had formed around the podium flared brighter but what made her frown was that, it was no longer alone.
A second glow emerged.
