Chapter 369: Last laughs...

Lyla

"Well, we’ve taken care of that," Xander said breezily. "Let’s see how you can put that talent of yours to good use."

"You had no right to do that," I yelled. "But of course, you’re still as cowardly as always. Running when things do not favour you."

"Trying not to get killed by you is considered cowardice?" he chuckled. "Wow, I have a lot to learn from you, it seems."

"Stop doing this, Xander," I cried, feeling frustrated. "We cannot always get what we want, and you know that."

"Others might not, but I have to. All this drama could have been avoided if you had aligned with my goals and vision. The witch would die soon, and I’ll be free from this barrier then. I will kill your mate, your mother, her friend and maybe all the warriors that killed mine. I should kill you too, right?" he paused, his eyes shifting to my stomach. "But that depends on a lot of things now."

"Unless," a weak voice said from the ground.

Circe was conscious, her eyes open and fixed on me with desperate intensity. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth as she struggled to speak.

"The blood price," she whispered. "If you’re willing to pay the blood price, then you can still kill him. But the cost..."

"What cost?" I demanded.

"Your connection to Neriah," Circe said, her voice growing weaker. "Using Neriah’s sword..."

"There’s no sword again," I said with a painful sigh. "He destroyed it."

"Any sword would do, Lyla. The power is in you, the sword is only a channel to wield it. Didn’t you know this?"

I had a lot of questions about that, but this wasn’t the place or time.

"Using the sword will sever your link to the Moon Goddess forever. You’ll lose your Moonsinger abilities, your wolf spirit, everything that makes you what you are."

Lose my powers? Lose Nymeris? Lose everything that made me special, everything that made me worthwhile to my world?"

But as I looked at Ramsey struggling in Xander’s grip, at the corruption spreading through his veins, the choice became clear.

"I don’t care," I said firmly. "If it saves him, if it saves everyone, then I’ll pay whatever price is necessary."

Lyla, no, Nymeris’s voice whispered in my mind, filled with sorrow. If you do this, we’ll be separated forever. I won’t be able to help you, to guide you, to be your companion.

Tears stung my eyes, but my resolve didn’t waver. "I know. I’m sorry." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Then I turned to Circe, nodding in agreement. "I’m ready."

She lifted her right hand and threw a blast of white light towards me. Instantly, the tendrils of Xander’s darkness around my body fell off.

I reached for Ramsey’s sword on the ground now and picked it up, cradling it carefully with both hands. I thought I’d have to channel my powers into the sword or something like that, but the moment my fingers closed round the hilt, it felt like coming home. power flowed through my body into the blade, but it was different from what I was used to.

"That’s not possible," Xander breathed. I could tell his confidence was cracking.

"The blood price," I said, "It’s not just about losing my powers. It’s about sacrificing everything I have to fuel the binding."
