CHAPTER 87
CHAPTER EIGHTY SEVEN
Baron could tell that something was not right. As he headed to where he was led by Avyanna's scent, he thought it was just his mind that played games with him. It couldn’t be possible because he wouldn’t feel that way if Avyanna was truly not in trouble.
Before Baron had set out, he went into his inner chamber directly under his room.
He sat still on the floor and tried to connect his soul, body and mind with Avyanna’s. The fact that they had mated made the connection stronger and easier.
Baron could feel her presence but there was something strange that blocked complete connection between him and Avyanna. He tried his best to be focused on the little connection he had but it wasn’t working. He felt the presence of whatever or wherever she was could sense him too. Baron then thought of what he could do that would take the whole of his emotions along, then, mind link, came to his mind.
He laid down and tried to mind link Avyanna. He felt the cold and lonely place she was. He saw the glimpse of the gothic tower she was in, and the gate to Uncertainty. Avyanna sat inside a cage alone.
Baron snapped out of his link with Avyanna. “What the hell?”
He had all the pivotal marks he could use to track Avyanna, now he had to array all information for optimum performance. It seemed to him that his love had gotten herself into something she was not expecting, but who could cage Avyanna? It could’ve been Nancy but he doubted it greatly.
Before he arrived at Sandy Hills forest, He went to Avyanna’s kingdom. He avoided being seen and he found his way into Avyanna’s room. He traced her smell from there, so he could easily figure out the route she had followed.
When he arrived at the forest her scent and his perception led him to. Baron was surprised to see that her smell had brought him to the exact forest their issues started. He wondered if it was truly Nancy, but he had only one way to find out, and that was to continue following her scent to see where it she was.
“I hope she is okay.” Baron panicked.
He hoped the woman he loved was okay. He kept thinking how everything that happened so far was his fault. If he did not betray her love, she would not be out of his sight, even if what was coming was bigger than him, it would not have been bigger for them both. He sincerely wished he would meet his Avy in one piece.
Baron allowed the smell from Avyanna lead him to where she was, but something kept interfering with the smell and it did not seem to be Nancy. Nancy was not capable of overshadowing the scent of Avyanna. There was something that accompanied her all through, the energy was not really familiar, but he knew he had sensed it somewhere.
Baron was lost in the forest. He could feel Avyanna very closely but he couldn’t seem to see her. Then he heard voices.
“Are you sure we are ready to confront him?” It was the voice of Nancy.
“Yes. We are. Why wouldn’t we be. Remember this was your idea.” Alpha Thomas said.
“What the…” Baron said to himself. “How do they know each other?”
“The Devil will probably rip your head off for it, but it’s worth a try, right?” Thomas giggled wickedly.
“Yes. I can probably take him if he tries anything with me.” Nany nodded.
Baron watched the two and waited to find out what they were looking for in such an unusual place. A million questions wrecked his mind as he stared at Nancy and Thomas.
Then Nancy snapped her fingers twice and reality ripped into two.
Baron’s eyes widened in shock, unable to tell what he was looking at. “Huh?”
Nancy and Thomas walked past the gate that divided the real world to another realm that held a very dark power.
Baron could immediately feel Avyanna’s presence strongly. He felt it coming from Uncertainty.
“What the hell is this place? Why is Avyanna doing here?” He gritted his teeth and clenched his jaw in anger as he waited until Nancy and Thomas was out of sight.
Baron then walked through the portal. He could strongly sense that he had passed a portal between the world he lived in and another realm. Baron wondered where he was.
The realm had dark skies and large towers. The tallest one is where he felt Avyanna’s scent coming from.
“I’m coming for you Avy!” He said. The overwhelming feeling of a dark aura that he felt was not a nice feeling.
Baron followed an unsuspecting mile behind Nancy and Thomas; carefully and quietly.
Just then, he felt a grip on his hands. He turned to look and it was the guards that stood at the gate holding him back from moving any further.
Obviously, the guards had no idea that they had just gripped the wrong person. Baron easily took his hands away from their grip and quietly snapped their necks.
“Zombies in armors?” He scoffed as he spat on the rotting corpse of the guards.
Then the portal behind him closed, sealing him in the realm.
He looked around to see if he could get any object that could lead him to Avyanna but he did not see any. It seemed the place had some sort of cover cast, a spell that allowed only familiar creatures function effectively.
Baron was not going to give up. He kept following her scent until it led him to the largest tower that stood at the middle. The door was still open because Nancy and Thomas had just walked through it.
He made his way up the stairs, following Avyanna’s scent. He walked up to a big room that had a huge round table, with nine small chairs and a very gigantic throne.
As he stared at the throne, he could sense that same energy he had sensed earlier. “Does this belong to Nancy?”
In the room were three doors that led to equally larger rooms. They were sacred rooms that Theseus used to retain his magical relics. One room held special orbs, another held special elixirs, and the last held Theseus’ priced prisoner; Avyanna.
Baron got closer to the particular door on the left side of the room because it was the door that made him feel Avyanna.
Meanwhile Theseus Brute knew that some creatures had entered his territory. He did not have issues with Thomas and Nancy but he had issues with the lover boy who had the audacity to cross his portal.
Theseus was not going to chase after Baron, for in his domain no one could outmatch him. Things worked very differently from how it did in the real world. Here, Theseus even communicated with the non-living.
He just smiled to himself. He could not wait to have fun with their lives.
“To play with Theseus is to drink venom, to laugh at Brute is to eat scorpions. The instrument of death is the best gift to gift a child lest he grows. To kill a man would be to grant him favor. To play with Theseus is to love to drink from the volcano, to laugh at Brute is to want to pain and kill. A ruler who has no force of violence will later render a lot of arms and become the servant. Theseus loves power. Brute appreciates a deadly game; an escort who would choose to make love to Brute has decided that she wants her end to be a mixture of pain and pleasure. Theseus honors a fight or the battle. Sing of my praise, sing of my victory, even the moon queen fears my name.” Theseus sang to himself as he watched Baron find his way around his domain.
Baron successfully open the door, rather, Theseus allowed him open it. Baron moved around the room; a very big hall. It seemed empty to him, but he could perceive Avyanna even more.
He knew she was close so he moved around and touched the walls to know if he would feel anything.
“Avyanna!” He called out and his voice echoed through the room.
He called out but got no response.
It took him less than thirty minutes to see Avyanna. Her cage was inside the wall, he did not know what he touched, but her caged popped right through the wall, he called her twice but she did not respond.
Baron stood in front of her cage, he continued to call her name and alas Avyanna raised up her head, only to see Baron.
“Baron?” She doubted for a moment if he was the one but the presence carried the aura of her man; aura could not be mistaken.
“Yeah. It is I. How is this possible?” Baron asked.
“It … It was Theseus.” She winced.
“Who is Theseus?” Baron snarled.
“Oh Baron.” Avyanna was too weak to engage Baron in that conversation. She was just happy to see him and she couldn’t help holding back her tears. Avyanna came closer to her cage she tried to hug him from there.
She just realized she had missed him more than she imagined, they held each other in wrapped arms before Baron told her the place was not safe.
“We need to leave here immediately. I will save you.”
The couple had missed each other, it was more than a week, since they last spoke.
“I am so sorry for overreacting, I just felt hurt, I did not know what to think about everything that happened, I felt used and angry, I wanted to be sure I was in the right place, and not in the middle of some madness.” Avyanna wept, she sounded as though this was the last time she would see Baron, or so it seemed.
“My love, I apologize for all I have put you through, it’s fine if you overrated, its fine. Let’s get you out.” Baron turned into his wolf trying to rip the Avyanna’s cage into shreds.
He tugged at it but it did not budge. Then he turned back to himself and fiddled with the locks.
“How did you find me?” Avyanna asked.
“My heart told me. I felt something unconventional had happened to you. I am connected to you just like mates are.” Baron howled gruffly.
As they kept talking Baron finally found a way to manipulate the lock, or so he thought. Avyanna came out of the cage and gave Baron a proper hug, the two had completely forgotten about their differences.
Avyanna was about to leave with Baron, they had gotten to the door when her scarf fell off her shoulder. Baron moved back to pick it up, when a cage fell right over him.
Then another fell above the free Avyanna.
