Five hundred years of fighting, everlasting hatred, even death could not stop it…
Evan didn’t intend to get involved. Shukrya just said very clearly that the woman in the mirror was a demonic entity.
Now that she was recovering strength, in this case, trying to destroy the mirror was like fighting the devil directly.
He wasn’t afraid. He just thought it was pointless to take such a risk.
To really do this, he would be no different from those stupid adventurers. They were all the playthings in the hands of these two witches.
Although Evan wanted to understand the magic of demons and witch doctor shamans, he didn’t want it that way.
“Help me… help me out of this nightmare and let my soul rest in peace. I can’t wait any longer!” Shukrya hesitated for a long time before continuing, “As long as you help me, I am willing to pay any price!”
Evan shook his head. He could not see what a witch, who had died five hundred years ago, could provide.
“I will not help you, nor will I help that demon!” He took out the small bottle of magic blood and threw it to the ground. “She wanted me to pour this thing on the totem together with my blood to break your magic. This thing…”
“Wizard, you don’t understand my pain… I don’t care about death… my soul has been stranded here for too long, long enough that I have forgotten everything, whether it is love or hatred, these have no meaning to me.” Shukrya waved her hand gently and a pale blue owl ghost flew out of the totem. She pointed to the owl pendant above the totem and continued to say, “As long as you are willing to help me, after my soul leaves, I will give you this pendant, it is our sacred tribal heritage of thousands of years, which can help you communicate with nature…”
Along the direction of her finger, Evan looked at the pendant tied to the totem knot.
Although shamanism wasn’t too clear to him, he could still clearly feel that the pendant was the core of this magic. With such a strong magic power, it was obviously a legendary magical item.
“This is the sacred item of our tribe. It has been kept by great witch doctors for generations. You are not a witch doctor, you don’t understand shaman’s magic, and you cannot communicate with ancestors’ souls and elements of nature, but it can help you use the Owl God’s power…” Shukrya paused again, as though sensing something and then slowly said, “And you have no reason to refuse, Wizard, your two companions have entered the devil’s room, that land of sin.”

In the dungeon, not long after Evan followed Shukrya into the secret chamber, Sirius discovered that he was missing.contemporary romance
“Hélène, have you seen Evan?” He frowned as he asked, shouting Evan’s name, but there was no response.
In the silence of this mysterious castle, Sirius’s shouts echoed frighteningly, but had no answers.
“Could that kid have been captured by a monster or a ghost, while we were not paying attention?” Hélène whispered, raising her wand high. She kept looking around, but saw nothing but darkness.
The unknown and the darkness exacerbated the fear in the air, and every dark corner seemed like it could spawn horror at any moment.
Hélène didn’t like the atmosphere around her and subconsciously leaned against Sirius. But she stopped quickly. She didn’t want to let him see her vulnerable side.
“You don’t know Evan. He’s not an ordinary thirteen-year-old wizard. He’s far much stronger than he looks. He is the best of the three of us. He wouldn’t be killed in silence,” said Sirius, waving his wand, not seeming too anxious. “Knowing him, the kid must have found some clues, leaving us to investigate alone…”
He was too familiar with this feeling. Evan could always find clues that no one else could notice, and then end up investigating alone.
Before entering the castle, he specifically told Evan not to act alone, but deep inside, he knew that was futile.
“I feel that the child is weird. He knows too much about magic. Are all Hogwarts students like that?!!” Hélène muttered. “I remember he was in charge of this side. Let’s see what we can find.”
They followed Evan’s previous trajectory, and soon saw the boxy dark hole and the rope above.
“This is a secret passage. Someone has pried the bricks off the ground!” said Hélène.
“Looking at the traces around, it should be not too long ago that something went down this rope … maybe Evan found something.” Sirius reached in with his right hand holding the wand, leaned out and shouted, “Evan, are you down there?”
There was no response, and the darkness around seemed to grow more intense.
Just as Sirius was about to give up, a shrill voice replied,” Yeah, I am here!”
“Is this Evan’s voice?” Sirius paused for a moment and looked at Hélène.”It doesn’t feel right.”
“There is nothing wrong with it. Boys’ voices always fluctuate like this at his age, and they sound hoarse and hard to hear,” said Hélène. “You are too suspicious. It’s slightly different, but it sounds like him. What is he doing down there? Did he find anything?!!”
“Evan, what’s down there?” shouted Sirius loudly, smelling a damp odor of rot.
With this smell, he was sure that the things deep in the cave would definitely not be pleasant.
“It’s what we need to find.” The weird voice responded. It paused and started to urge Sirius and Hélène to go down. “There is a lot… so much that you would be interested in. Come down and have a look. Hurry up!”
“A lot?!” Sirius was stunned again.
“Getting into the hole… I don’t like this feeling!” said Hélène, looking down. “Evan is really daring, entering this dark cave, but what did he find?”
“Come on, come on, I can’t wait anymore…” The voice kept echoing in the dark.
“I’ll go in and have a look. Maybe he found the devil’s altar,” said Sirius, standing up and looking at Hélène. “Well, if you don’t want to go down, you can wait for me here.”
“Don’t underestimate others. I am also an Auror, not some damsel in distress who needs your protection!” Hélène puffed out her chest and looked at Sirius tit for tat. “Since that child dares to go in, I will go down too, um… and I’ll be leading the charge!”
