A Fallen Knight-Lost art of Necromancy

Chapter 74: Legends of Tishn

"Is there any other option left?"

Severus asked bluntly.

Desella was tongue-tied. She knew escaping from this place was just her wishful thinking. Even if they somehow try escaping, there were 90 per cent chances that only one of them would make it out, from this damn place.

She tried thinking of alternatives. 

Desella jolted as a thought came in her mind. Although she wasn't sure about it, it was the last straw, so they better pick it up.

"Severus there is one way!!!!!!"

Desella's eyes glimmered with excitement which eventually brought light in Severus' eyes too.

"Tell me. What way?"

"Uhh...well I am not fully confident about it but since we are dead-end, I guess we should give it a try."

Severus quietly sat there and with his expressions asked her to continue explaining.

"Well there are various legends about Tishn and Hades which are more or less same, but there is one folklore which sings another version of this story. According to it, when Hades caged Tishn inside the baroque mirror, he was aware of Tishn potential thus he made a bet with Tishn. He told him that he will hide a sword, full of enormous black magic, inside this cage. According to Hades, not everyone can enter inside this Baroque mirror. Aside from powerful otherworldly creatures, only a handful of mortals can access this cage. One in a millennia. They all were the chosen ones to have a battle with Tishn but alas no one survived. Some of them who were chosen didn't ever find the mirror. Let alone having access. So, it concludes that you are chosen one Severus. One from millennia."

"One from Millenia"

Severus quietly whispered and inhaled a sharp breath.

"But there is a twist with the sword. Tishn would not allow Hades to do as he wishes inside his world so Hades just told him that this sword was a special one. Hades has hidden the sword inside this world and the one who will discover it first, the sword will belong to him. I don't know whether Tishn discovered the sword or not but I am betting that he didn't. Since if he had discovered it, he would have broken free from this cage. Well, there can be another scenario too that he may have discovered it and just want to test Hades and Heavens so he is deliberately resting here, but no matter what is the scenario, we need sword at any cost. If he haven't discovered it then we will be the one who will discover it and, god forbid, if had found it then we can only steal it from him"

Desella voice turned weak towards the end.

What a joke!

Stealing!

From Tishn!

Severus was shocked too when he listened to Desella's plan however he soon calmed. There was nothing else they can do besides following her plan, so why worry then!

Worriers can never be warriors.

Severus expectedly asked, "Desella but how are we going to find that sword. I just came here so I don't know how big is this palace. Do you somehow know about this palace?"

However, Desella shook her head.

"No, I don't know. I was here for a very short time. This palace is like a maze. No matter how far you run, you will be back to the same point, so there is no use of wandering. The only thing that is helpful in hiding but we don't have that much time."

"Yea we don't have that much time so what should we do?"

It was the key question that no one had a solution for.

Desella kept quiet. Although she had an answer but she didn't speak it. Somewhere in her heart, she hesitated.

Some time passed but no one said uttered anything. 

Everything was silent.

There was practically no sound and this annoyed both of them. The only thing that can be heard was Severus pulse and his heavy breathing. From the looks of it, it was hard on him.

Severus was feeling uncomfortable with the silence thus he broke the silence. 

"I think I have a plan"

Desella interest was picked and she curiously stared at his handsome face. No matter what time or what occasion it may be, she never gets enough of his handsome face. Every time she looks at his face, she gets infatuated.

"Care to tell Severus", she politely requested.

"Well, it will be a waste of time to search for the sword. Since you say that Tishn knows about the existence of sword then he wouldn't have left any stones unturned. As far as I have understood the personality of Hades. He is one of the mighty gods and will never allow Tishn to find that sword but he wouldn't dis-honour his own words, so f we think from this angel then the sword is supposed to be hidden somewhere near to Tishn. It may be heavily crafted and hidden but it is definitely hidden somewhere in front of Tishn's eyes. It was just that he is too arrogant and blind to notice."

Desella was amazed. 

No wonder Tishn was not able to discover the sword until now Given his arrogant personality, he would have never imagined Hades to hide the sword in his place. 

"Damn your brain is horrific. It's too scary. How can you even think about this situation from this perspective."

Desella was awed. She was truly amazed by Severus intelligence.

"Neh It's just simple logic. You are overestimating me"

Severus felt awkward under Desella stare which was filled with awe.

"Aww.so humble. Savvy looks too cute when he blushes"

"Dream on. I am not blushing. Geeeez, you better focus on our precarious situation. Now tell me how are we going to find Tishn? Don't tell me that I only need to shout his name and he will appear in front of me"

Desella squinted her eyes with a smirk carried on her lips."You can try it, Savvy"

"Duhh.Don't joke Desella"

"Pfff.oaky okay. It's very easy to find Tishn. In this world, he only does two things. First is he either sleeps or meditate. So we just need to go to his place and knock on his door. TADA.he will open his gates for us and we will meet him"

Severus"..."

"Yea and how about we bring some candies too at his palace and will say, Trick-O-Treat"

Severus casually said but is so sarcastic.

"You.just shut your mouth"

Severus"...."

Desella sussed him."We just need to follow the darkness to find Tishn. In this world, everything belongs to Tishn except that sword."

Severus was confused.

"How are we going to follow the darkness. We are ourself surrounded by darkness, don't tell me, he is here."

Desella"...."

"No.ugh.It's not like that. You observed that earlier we were surrounded by that black mist?"

"Yes I did"

"Just that. We need to follow the black mist and it will lead us to Tishn"

Severus nodded his head in understanding but in the next instant asked another question.

"How are we going to find the black mist?"

Desella"..."

"Uhhh...."

"Well.."

"...."

"...."

"Nevermind, let's get teleported to the previous location where you saw me kneeling. Okay?"

Severus finally came to Desella's rescue.

"Ooooofs Severus. Sure, sure. I am such a dumb wit. Come' on you need to hug me so that we both can get teleported"

Desella stood up from the ground and beckoned him to stand too. 

Severus too stood up. Desella waited for a hug, unexpectedly Severus lifted Desella in a princess style.

"Ahhhh"

Desella screamed with the sudden unexpected gesture.

"Don't lift me. Put me down, down please."

"Neh, just teleport. We don't have much time to spare"

Desella didn't delay and quickly chanted a spell and swoosh.

Wosshhhh...

Severus landed on the ground safely while carrying Desella. He then put her down and surveyed his surrounding.

Everything was blur earlier but now he can see it clearly. A hazy moon was hung high up in the sky with night scenery. Conifer trees which had leaves like spikes, all looked so spooky. 

"Uh Desella, I can't find black mist somehow."

"Wait, you just follow me"

With that Desella focused on her senses and step by step travelled a path. It was same as Desella told, no matter where they went, the scenery remained the same. It was the same black forest and hazy night.

"Too boring. How can anyone live centuries here? This place is so dead."

"What else can you expect from an apathetic demon-like Tishn. He loves silence and darkness. So it's an ideal palace for him to live. Maybe you can call it a luxurious palace too, for him."

Severus"...."

"Horrible taste"

"Yeah it's really horrible"

Severus quietly followed Desella, until she abruptly stopped. Severus halted too and before he could question her, he saw a tall castle built on a steep mountain.

"This..don't tell me Tishn owns that castle

"Any doubt"

Uhhhh.

ARE WE ON A HALLOWEEN NIGHT OR WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
