SPELLBOUND

Chapter 170 - Déjà Vu

The huge crash brought about by the two dragons caused that whole section of the outer part of the castle to crumble. Even Zolan and Evie were thrown off due to the intense impact of the crash.

Zolan had managed to protect Evie as the two of them tumbled onto the ground. However, she still suffered some minor bruising and small wounds on her arms and legs. Thankfully there was no major cuts or broken bones, or else Prince Gavriel would have his head for it.

Zolan immediately knew she was hurt because of the maddeningly delicious scent that had wafted at him.

To his relief, his body was still acting under orders of her control. If he was freed from whatever she did to him, Zolan was certain he would have lunged at her and bitten the princess at that very moment. The scent of her blood was that enticingly strong. Still, his situation had become even more torturous with the addition of this incredible thirst her blood had aroused in him! F*ck! Now this is bad, Zolan thought to himself. If he brought the princess to the dungeons now while still wounded, the vampires inside the dungeon all would… damn it all! Wait! That was right! Leon! The princess needed Leon! But how could he make her order him to go find Leon?

The two dragons on the ground rose from the rubbles and they continued breathing fire against each other. All the while, they were swiping at each other's necks with the viciously curved talons on their front paws, hoping to slice through the other's neck and draw blood.

In the midst of the dragon's fight, the dark dragon had smashed a pillar while swiping its majestic tail, causing a large mound of debris to be thrown towards Evie and Zolan's direction. Evie did not see the immediate danger as she was still focused on their own race towards the dungeons. However, Zolan was on full alert. A corner of his eyes was constantly kept on the clash between the two mighty dragons. He knew that it was possible for projectiles to suddenly come launching at unsuspecting victims as such huge creatures fought. It was only inevitable as each nudge and shove by either of the massive beasts would be equal to a mini earthquake going off.

Like a flash, Zolan grabbed Evie and they both landed at the top of the castle's watch tower. Zolan was planning to look for Leon before bringing the princess inside the castle and leave her inside the dungeon and that was why he brought her to the tower.

He immediately let go of her as his eyes, the only part of him he could control right now, burned red as he searched for his comrades.

Evie on the other hand stumbled towards the edge as she looked down. The dragons had begun to fight ferociously as their fire began to spread out everywhere, turning the once peaceful and snowy white city into a scene that could rival the burning in the depths of hell itself.

She could only watch on in shock. The destruction… this scene… she had seen all of this before. In her dream! The scenes were an exact match to the visions she had been having! And it has come true!

Her knees nearly gave way. The fire was spreading like an inferno below the watchtower and Evie began to frantically search around for Gavriel. Where was he? He had fallen along with the dark fae just now… but where was he now?

"Gavriel!" she began to call out. The déjà vu was so strong and accurate that she could not help but feel like breaking down. Why? Why did this have to happen? And now at all times! She thought she had managed to stop this from happening, but she was wrong. Why?

"Gavriel!!! Where are you?!" she yelled but Gavriel was nowhere to be found. Neither did he reply to her calls. Evie had a bad feeling about this. There was no way Gavriel would not respond to her, unless… No! She did not even want to continue that thought. She needed to be strong and continue to have trust in him!

The fae's dragon emerged from the fire and it flew past the watchtower. Then it circled around and crashed onto her dragon before it could fly high enough to regain its momentum.

Evie's heart was breaking. Her dragon was losing. It was because it had lost its one eye and was also wounded! Her heart ached so much, feeling sorry for her dragon, for Dacria and also worrying about Gavriel. What else could she do for now?

She forced herself to think. She must do something! But what?! She did not even know what to say or use whatever the power she actually had! If only she knew anything at all!

At that moment, the watch tower suddenly began to crumble and fall.

An arm immediately shot out and wrapped itself around her waist. And the next thing she knew she was up in the air.

Upon landing on the ground, Evie was surprised that the vampire holding her was not Zolan anymore. It was Leon. She also saw Samuel and the others following behind them.

"Gavriel! Find Gavriel! I saw him fell in there!" she yelled at them, and the men immediately nodded at her. They turned their backs upon landing and went towards the direction Evie had pointed at.

The men bravely crossed the burning inferno. They must find their prince! They were always confident in their prince's ability. They all knew he was the strongest vampire they had ever known but this dark fae was something they have never seen nor encountered before. He was a creature of the ancients. Those creatures dabble in magic, and this dark fae had even used black magic! What if the creature was far, far stronger than their prince? That question was not spoken but is ringing in every one of the men's minds.

But their greatest fear that their prince was now in very dire situation immediately evaporated the moment they found him. The men stood there, frozen as they looked at Gavriel.
