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...
"Sere! Mind a question?" Serephina turned her head towards Mordana with a gentle smile she could muster.
"What are you hiding from me?"
"Ahaa? What makes you think like that?" She sat up with curiosity knitted between her weak lids.
"You said everyone has their secrets. And I don't want to be broken again. Is there anything I missed?"
"Seems like someone is as curious as a toddler. But I must say that I have nothing hidden."
"You sure?" Mordana held her palms in both her hands.
"I must ask you this." Serephina winked as she took the green goblet to sip the lulling liquids.
"What! I don't hide anything. If transparency is the key to necromancy then I can declare that I'm the Empress of necromancy." Mordana picked Serephina's glass and took the last sip. She downed the empty goblet and glanced at the serous stripes gliding down the glass.
"Ahaa. I agree that partially. You would be the empress from necromancy who loves an emperor of illusion." Her ridiculing chuckles made Mordana blink.
"Wait! Did you just do it?"
"You know that already." Her winks made Mordana more nervous.
"Ho- Gosh! Hrgh! Why do you think like that?" Her gaping looks made Serephina tickle her arms with her fingertips.
"Ms Moradana, you can never be hideous. Not just me everyone can see through you. Isn't it Eir?" She shifted her torso to look at her pushed smile.
"Yes, see Mora. Aaron would be the best to handle your crazy quirks. He is reserved and caring and you are sloping and wild. You both together bring out the perfect peak-valley vibe."
"What the- From where do you get these metaphors? It's nothing like what you assume. We are just being friendly." Mordana shrugged while her legs shifted with no rest.
"In that sense, now let's confirm it." Mordana lifted her brow in suspicion.
Serephina stood to grab the leather satchel. Unzipping it in a hurry, she took out the dull scarlet two-winged heart crystal and placed it on her palms.
"Don't tell me that you are performing a love test on me? What a disaster!" She kept the crystal low with a thud.
"Sere, someone is afraid." Eir's words made Serephina smirk.
"Sere ask her not to pretend much. I'm not yet the same moron she can play with."
"Aye aye, Sere. But I have the vigor to say that I have some butterfly shudders for Hugh. Can she admit hers? Maybe she isn't the same rebellious woman I would mess with."
"That is a right hit!" Serephina raised her palm to admit Eir's words.
"This is her fine trap. I need not prove me to her." Mordana waved her palms to clear the thick fogs blurring her thoughts.
"You owe me. Don't you?" Serephina pushed the crystal towards her.
Mordana arched her lips down trying to be pleasing as she pleaded. But Serephina's smirks and stares made her pick the stone, making the ruby lady spill a grin.
"Okay! May the truth be proved."
With a grim gulp down her gut, she held the crystal between her palms and closed her eyes gently. Serephina neared her face to wave her pointers near her lids.
"She who birthed the soul of love, The one whose heart flows as ambrose, The one who warms voids and cavern, The one to whom any secret is hidden, The one who is a beautiful mystery, May her heart seek its true destiny, Bless her soul with the oath of love."
Serephina backed two steps and whispered the hymn for three loops. At the last reciting, she sat beside her and asserted, "Mora, now think of your moments with Aaron. Slowly with every detail, you could collect." With a quick nod, Mordana did as she was told.
Serephina could observe the twitching in Mordana's lips cease with time. Her heartbeats grew heavy. They were discernible with every tint of red colouring her cheeks as a beaming smile akin to the ray of the sun between the knitted terrace of the thick lush forests blossomed on her lips.
With not much excitement Serephina looked at the stone in her hand. It was glinting a soft pink glare on its surface. Before she could word it, Mordana had already seen what she should.
In fractions of a moment, her smile was replaced with some odd trembles. Her heart raced faster than she could attempt to calm. Her heavy exhales and stares confused her mates.
"I must go now." She placed the stone on the desk with no emotions and walked towards the door.
"Are you afraid or still ignorant?" Eir's queries made her turn.
"Even if I explain it, you will never know." With that, she closed the door leaving the two to exchange some shrugs and timid simpers.

Tadaa! Our Mordana is in love. Eir is getting stronger. Serephina is smoothening the gaps. After the dark revelations, I wanted to pen down a crazy chapter. Hope it's enjoyable.
But why do you think Mordana is walking away from love?
