Chapter 368: Melting sword...

Lyla

I wiped the tears from my cheeks and struggled to my feet.

Ramsey’s hand immediately came around me, helping me up. Whatever Terra had discovered, the alarm in her voice suggested it was important.

"What is it?" Ramsey asked when he reached her.

"The ritual circle," she said breathlessly. "Something’s happening. The Dark One – he seemed the soul bonding has stopped."

My heart sank. "Stopped? Is that even possible?"

"We don’t know," Terra looked scared "We didn’t expect this to happen. We tried reviving Circe, but her link to us is dead. We don’t know if she’s still..." Terra trailed off, looking at us helplessly.

We raced back to the ritual circle, our hearts pounding with dread at the new development. Without even nearing the circle, I knew something was terribly wrong.

Circe lay motionless at the centre of the circle, still in her human form and crumpled on the blood-soaked ground. Her auburn hair spread around her like a dark halo, and her clothes were torn and stained with crimson. But it was what lay beside her that made my blood run cold. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Neriah’s sword – the weapon that was supposed to be used to end Xander.

"S-she didn’t use the sword?" I whispered, kneeling outside near the circle.

"She couldn’t," Nanny sighed, "And honestly, that is not the immediate problem."

As she spoke, she pointed toward the far side of the circle.

Xander was there, but he wasn’t the defeated, bound entity we’d expected to find. Instead, he was slowly rising to his feet, his dark energy swirling around him like living smoke. But the most horrifying part was what I could see happening to his form – translucent wisps of light were streaming back into his body, like scattered pieces of his soul returning home.

"The soul binding," I breathed in horror. It’s breaking."

"That’s impossible," Ramsey said, but even as he spoke, we could all see the truth. With each passing second, Xander grew more solid.

Nanny knelt beside the circle and tried to reach for Circe, but she couldn’t. She had a worried expression on her face.

"We need to get her out of there immediately, she might still be alive, and we don’t want him taking her form. It could become a real problem for us."

Without thinking, I tried to enter the circle, but Ramsey dragged me back. "What do you think you’re doing? You can’t..."

"Well, someone needs to bring her out, and it’s not like I’m going to fight. I’ll just..."

"We think Ramsey can do it," Terra said from behind us. Miriam and I already tried, but Circe’s subconscious still has a strong hold on the circle, even you, I’m afraid, won’t be able to access it, but Ramsey can."

"Why him and not me?" My gaze darted between the two women.

"Because she’s more connected to him than you are, Lyla," Nanny sighed. "Let’s just let him try."
