212 Always By Your Side (1/2)

At that very moment, a great shaking began to occur all over the capital. Alicia who was currently hugging her sisters and crying, whole body shook, making her quickly snap out of her current state and release her sisters.

”Blake!” Alicia yelled and stretched out her hand.

”I felt it too but what happened!?” Blake came into the room and grabbed the outstretched hand in front of him. As soon as his hand came in contact with Alicia's, they were transported to the room where she had the levitation magic circle going.

”Someone broke it! Where are the guards!?” Alicia yelled causing the men from outside to come running in. She looked at the two guards who looked as if they had just woken up and frowned.

”What happened? Explain everything!” Alicia yelled, her anger very apparent.

”We, we do not know ourselves, Princess. We were standing guard as usual and suddenly felt very tired. Next thing we know we felt the great shaking that woke us up!” One guard hurriedly explained he did not dare lie.

”Great, just great! Someone used sleeping magic on you and knocked you out! Did you not see anyone come down the hall before you passed out?” Alicia asked. She was doing her best to keep her anger in check. She knew since it was sleeping magic that was used the guards were not at fault here.

”No, Princess, we saw no one.” The guards both lowered their heads in shame.

”Okay, go and bring as many mages as you can! If we do not stop our descent everyone in the capital will die including us! We will put my all into slowing us down for now. ” Alicia wanted to slap herself. She did not think to put a barrier around the magic circle. She made such a mistake and now millions of people might die because of it!

”Blake, I still have so much more to learn… I need you to work on the magic circle while I do my best to hold us in the air.” Alicia looked at Blake, her eyes filled with determination.

”I will work as fast as I can.” Blake replied. He knew he couldn't stop her and that it was the best decision at this time. Not wasting time he began weaving his arms about trying to reform the magic circle as it was before.

Alicia's body disappeared from where she was and reappeared above the capital. A large amount of magic power burst out of her body spreading out over the entire capital and around the entire floating landmass. Stream after stream of Magicules formed thick ropes made of magic shooting out in all directions wrapping itself around the entire landmass with Alicia at its center.
