A Magical Tale: The Peerless Summoner

Chapter 41: The Departure

Both Sylla and Helena shook.

"You are taking me away to where I would be trained?" Helena quickly asked to confirm what she heard.

"Yes. Any problem with that?" Jessica asked.

"N-No" Helena replied.

"Good" Jessica said.

Then she continued "Prepare yourself. We would be leaving very soon"

Helena deeply exhaled.

She had always felt that anytime her sister, Alyssa appeared for her, she was going to take her away. But now, it was even more than that. Her older sister was going to take to where she would be trained under someone on how to efficiently use magic and develop excellent close-combat and open space fighting skills.

Then she looked at Sylla who also looked back at her with a smile. However, an aura of loneliness and sadness could be seen emitting from her body.

"Sylla, I promise I am going to come back for you. And anytime I come back, I am going to make sure I tread upon the heads of your enemies. I will make sure to squash your enemies like the bugs that they are. And together, we would go out there into the world and conquer territories to expand your kingdom. All I only want from you is to keep yourself safe for me till I would come back for you. Can you do that for me?" Helena asked as she began to emanate an heroic aura from her body.

Sylla heard what Helena said and then her eyes shone with an unyielding and adamant resolve.

"I promise" She said with a towering confidence in her tone.

Helena nodded.

Then they both embraced each other for sometime.

A few moments later, Helena and Sylla pulled out of the embrace while Helena walked towards her sisters and said without looking back "Let's go"

Her sisters nodded.

Jessica then made a gesture and a large portal instantly appeared before her. And as soon as this massive portal appeared before them, it began to rapidly revolve as it drew towards where they stood. Then in the next moment, the portal entirely swallowed up their figures and they vanished from where they stood and appeared in a new location.

Like that, Helena was teleported far away from here.

Sylla's mom came before Sylla and asked "Now that your father is dead and you are the heiress to the throne, you should take up the mantle. It's your turn to rule your people. Can you do that for me?"

Sylla's eyes which had sadness erupting from it because she was still recalling how her father died suddenly shone with ruthlessness.

Now that it was her turn to rule her people, she was going to make sure that she was ruthless. She would crush to death every being that would defy or oppose her.

Her father wasn't ruthless enough that was why he was killed, but she would be different. She would annihilate all her enemies. Now, it was 'crush', or 'be crushed'. Those words had now been eternally branded in her mind.

She looked at her mom and nodded her head.

Sylla's mom saw the coldness in Sylla's eyes and nodded her head in approval.

Her daughter had just been transformed by the intensely sorrowful thing that she experienced. She had learnt from her father's grave error and would definitely not commit such a life-endangering error too.

Then she held her daughter by the hand and they both walked down the high platform that they were on.

- Hall of Great Sisters -

"Welcome, young one. We are sorry for the many bad things that we unintentionally made you go through. We won't ask for your forgiveness as we here all believe that it was good that you went through those things and fortunately came out unscathed from them. We believe that those bad and saddening things that you came across would have transformed you. They would have reshaped the very idea you have about this chaotic world filled with fiendishness and devilishness, which is kill or be killed. Am I right?" The Leader of this coven, Olivia asked.

Helena who wore a cloak with it large hood pulled over her head and stood at the center of many cloaked women that encircled her, looked at the woman that spoke and said "Yes, those agonizing things that I experienced have transformed me. This world is not a world filled kindness and humanitarianism. It's a world whose sky has been colored black by the resentful screams of thousands of slain souls. It's a world whose vast lands and seas has been dyed red with with the blood of thousands of people. It's a world where the theme of the day is kill or be killed."

Olivia as well as the people surrounding Helena in a large circular hall nodded their heads in approval.

"So on this day, you would be sent somewhere to immediately commence your training on the use of magic and to develop good hand-to-hand fighting skills" She said.

"Okay Senior" Helena respectfully replied.

But she then asked as strangeness abruptly appeared in her eyes.

"Am I the only been taken away for training?" She asked.

"Yes. Do you have a problem with that?" Olivia asked.

"No. It's just that I feel strange with all these. Is there something I should know that you people aren't telling me? Besides, I don't understand. Why am I the only one being sent away to some place to undergo some training? I have a feeling that you people are hiding things from me. Please speak, so I may understand what's really going on." Helena asked and begged at the same time.

Olivia broke a smile where she was.

Then she turned her head to look at the others.

"She demands to know what she truly is. Should we tell her?" She asked.

"Since she has demanded to know what she truly is, then it's right for us to tell her. I think it's about time she knew about herself and her amazing abilities" The deputy leader, Scarlett said.

"Okay." Olivia nodded her head.

Then she turned her head to look at Olivia and said with a smile.

"Girl, you are the chosen one. You are the one prophesied to bring an end to all the unending cycles of chaos and calamity in the world"
