Stuck in an Island with Twelve Beautiful Women-Chapter 414 - 416

With a final, lingering glance, Elysia vanished into the shadows, leaving behind an atmosphere thick with uncertainty. Jude and Queen Sara exchanged a silent vow, their resolve strengthened by the encounter with the enigmatic witch.

As they resumed their vigil by the campfire, Jude couldn't shake the feeling that their journey had taken an unexpected turn, a turn that would test their courage and fortitude in the face of ancient forces that lurked within the heart of the forest.

Jude was confused he thought how did Sara knew about The witch Elysia. As the embers of their campfire danced in the night, Jude's mind buzzed with questions and contemplations. The revelation of Queen Sara's intertwined history with Elysia, once known as Mary, a fellow apprentice turned dark sorceress, added layers of complexity to their journey through the mysterious forest.

"Sara," Jude ventured, his voice tinged with curiosity, "how did you know Elysia?"

Queen Sara's expression softened with a mixture of reminiscence and gravity. "Jude, what I'm about to tell you is a part of my past, a chapter that I seldom revisit," she replied, her voice carrying the weight of old memories. "Elysia and I were once students together under the tutelage of a revered wizard."

Jude's eyes widened in surprise. "You and Elysia were... friends?"

Queen Sara shook her head gently. "Not friends, but fellow apprentices bound by a common pursuit of knowledge," she clarified. "Back then, Elysia was known as Mary, a spirited young woman with a thirst for power."

Judes curiousity increased. He asked,

" How you and her come to study under the same wizard? Besides She looked like a young girl, if Elysia… i mean Mary was studied with you, she will look more elder than that don't she?"

Queen Sara gazed into the flickering flames, her expression a blend of nostalgia and gravity. "In our youth, both Mary and I possessed an innate affinity for magic," she began, her voice carrying the weight of reminiscence. "We were drawn to the wizard's tutelage by our shared thirst for knowledge and power."

"We were not friends in the conventional sense," Queen Sara continued, "but rather comrades bound by a common purpose. Mary possessed a fierce determination, an unyielding drive to master the arcane arts."

Jude listened intently, captivated by Queen Sara's recollections. The notion of Elysia, formerly Mary, once walking the same path as Queen Sara seemed surreal, yet it explained the intricacies of their shared history.

"As time passed, Mary's ambitions took a darker turn," Queen Sara explained, her voice tinged with regret. "She became enamored with the allure of forbidden magic, seeking power beyond what our mentor deemed acceptable."

The crackling of the fire seemed to echo the intensity of their conversation, casting elongated shadows that danced across the forest floor. Jude's gaze flickered between Queen Sara's contemplative visage and the surrounding darkness, acutely aware of the weight of their shared revelations.

"When our mentor discovered Mary's descent into darker practices, he had no choice but to cast her out," Queen Sara recounted, her voice tinged with solemnity. "It was a painful decision, but necessary to preserve the sanctity of our studies. The form you saw of her was not her own it is stolen. She looked different."

Jude mulled over Queen Sara's words, piecing together the narrative of their past. The transformation of Mary into Elysia, a creature of darkness driven by vengeance, seemed like a cautionary tale of the perils of unchecked ambition.

"What happened to Mary after she was expelled? And what do you mean a stolen form? Is she a shapeshifter?" Jude inquired, his voice quiet in the stillness of the night.

Queen Sara's gaze hardened, her eyes reflecting the glint of distant memories. "Mary vanished from our midst, consumed by her thirst for power," she replied. "In time, she resurfaced as Elysia, an outcast, wielding forbidden magic and harboring resentment towards those she perceived as betrayers. Stolen face means she might be swapped body with the young girl or possessed her and consumed her soul. What ever it is she killed that young girl."

Jude felt a chill crawl down his spine as he contemplated the implications of Elysia's vendetta. The witch's motives, fueled by centuries-old grievances, loomed like a shadow over their quest, a reminder of the dangers that lurked within the depths of the forest.

"We must remain vigilant," Queen Sara declared, her voice resolute. "Elysia's powers are formidable, but together, we possess strengths that transcend the boundaries of magic alone."

As the fire crackled in the background, casting a warm glow over their campsite, Jude found solace in Queen Sara's unwavering determination. Their shared history, fraught with shadows and secrets, forged a bond that transcended the trials ahead, a testament to the resilience of their alliance.

With Elysia's presence looming like a specter in the darkness, Jude and Queen Sara steeled themselves for the challenges that awaited, armed not only with magic but with the unbreakable resolve born of shared purpose and shared destiny. And amidst the whispers of the wind and the rustle of leaves, they pressed onward, guided by courage, fueled by knowledge, and bound by the unbreakable thread of their intertwined fates.
