THAT ILLUSION || Chasing the call of the chasm.
Earth is haunted, and they have come to save the earthlings before it's too late.
The Narngon school of magic is the only source of remedy for this silently perishing world. The trio of infamous queens...
"Thank the gods, you phobophillic woman! Why on divine worlds did you get mare attacks too often?" Mordana yelled while resting a jigger of viscous black liquid on the side tables.
"I... Forgive me, Mora. But it isn't a mare anymore. I must speak to Narngon's superiors soonest possible." She stuttered as she retreated from the comfort of the carmine toned plumages.
"Oh, oh, calm down, Sere. Please don't make me an illegal drug abuser now. Earth isn't easy."
Her witty words earned no laughs, not a chuckle in the least.
"Oh, sorry that. Between, what was your vision? From your stutters and deep breaths, I can sense that it wasn't plain. Tell me more," Mordana asked, rubbing her thumbs from her brows to the sides.
"Ha... You are right. It was a covert mare." She relaxed her taut senses with a deep whiff.
"I was on a recherché grounds. It suited neither Earth nor Aetherth. It was all weird and a bit familiar. I had none around me. It was just me amidst the prickling icy grounds. I was totally baffled but then..." She paused as her eyes flashed their dead bodies between the loose molecules of air.
"Then what?" Mordana queried. But got no reply. Serephina sat like a life frozen sculpture in front of her scrutinizing raven eyes.
"Sere... Sere... Oh, stupid scary crow! Speak or sleep. Stop terrorizing me with your crazy actions." Mordana shook her, tracking her back to realism. Serephina reflexively held Calypso's claws, making it nuzzle her neck.
Mordana's forceful moves unleashed some trickles of tears from her eyes, making her wipe them. When she was about to wipe her wet dews on her cuffs, something caught her attention. She bent her head and found that her scarlet eyes had no kohl.
"Why are the tears black?"
"What?" Serephina's jaws dropped when she looked at her palms. Calypso inclined to take a sharp sniff. While every eye was skimming it dubiously, the dews froze and ejected ebonic vapours to fade.
"Holy heavens! What did just happen?" Mordana quacked, making the carmine winged bird snort.
"This is too malicious. So unreal. I almost decided that I was caged," Serephina declared.
"Caged? Then how did you wake?" Mordana bit her tongue at the stupidest question she tossed.
"I summoned him. He didn't come there, but his voice reached me. Then I saw a black sphere emitting dark smoke all around. Then I closed my eyes and then I'm here. Everything is enigmatic. By the grace of beloved mother I wish things end soon." She gushed a curing sigh.
Mordana looked confused at her. She had no lead nor could conclude her puzzling visions. Yet, she was sure that things had begun just now and there was a long heedless way for them to explore.
"Let's speak to Galene and arrange for a quick meeting. Together we may find a solution. For now relax and release him off his duties," Mordana implied nesting the pearly nape of Calypso.
SCKEEW... TRK... TUH...
Serephina bobbed her head and pecked at the edge of his enthralling eyes. He curved his grizzled neck around the women, kissing their cheeks with his pointed tongue. Serephina took three little apples from her sides and fed him. He took his short meal and stroked his golden beaks on her chin.
"Here take some for Ormr and Xilon. Keep up well. It won't take long for us to greet." Mordana tossed the bedside fruits and meat making rusty potions to a sack and tied it around its milky neck. The massive pet nodded, radiating his gratitude on his ruby eyes and kissed them more vigorously. Once his gratitude made them spill some happy laughs he retreated, ready to slip into their virtual world.
Serephina caressed and kissed him goodbye and spelt,
'Revampow Calypso.' (Revamp Calypso.)
Sooner she asserted the soonest he became her antique eagle bracelet again. His wings circled her arms elegantly, making him stroke him around her wrists.
"Between, where is Eir?"
"Neither I did see her from the moment I was awake. Maybe she is somewhere around." Mordana sipped the ale from the glass besides. She side-eyed her mate only to realise her smirk.
"Mora, it's unbelievable."
"What? Ale is my sane tea and now what's wrong with it?" She tilted her head up as she burped.
"No! Not that. But the thing over there." Serephina's metal coiled fingers pointed out the pendant and the satchel, appearing messed in a quick robbery.
"Damn the damned! How did I miss to notice it!"
"Isn't that the resurrection trident ensign? I guess it is used lately. See it is oozing some feeble vapours." Her mare sharpened sight missed no detail.
"She has fled to check on something. But where?" Mordana tried to reason.
"Wait! She was lost and sunken right from our mission at Kayte's. Maybe that's where she is now."
"That should be it. Come let's go!" Mordana bent and tidied the room the best she could in ten seconds. Before zipping the bag, she took the locket and slipped it into her crisscross pockets.
"Here, I'm ready!" Serephina straightened her messed hair and guzzled some water from the glassware.
Once they stepped out of their room, after glancing at the teal water walls, they both jerked at the gentle touch of slender palms. With a lump blocking their words, they turned around.
"Ops! Sorry if I scared you both. Glad you guys are awake."
"Madam Galene, Eir..." Serephina paused as she was interrupted.
"Oh! She is fine. She is with me and the boys. And I have a piece of news. Your superiors are in an emergency meeting right now in Narngons. Hope things get along better," she declared clubbing her fingers.
"But for what?" Mordana felt piqued.
"Yet to be told. Come along and relax till then. After all, we have to speak about certain things before the meeting." Her strictness melded their words.
Serephina threw a warning peek at Mordana. But the opal owl hooted her rages within her breaths. As the ruby woman kept her stares less humble, she sighed out her rippling thoughts once for all.
Latching her fleeting commotions, she said, "Certainly, madame. We await to know too many things."

Hope it's enjoyable!
Here are some points to muse.
Where do you think Serephina was?
Why does the dream repeat and make her remember it?
Do you think Eir would have told about her night work to Galene in the least? Why yes or why no?
