Chapter 327 - She is Missing (1) (2/2)

After Tempest's words, I see him took off from a tree not far from where I was and flew to the sky.

I then tried to take Tempest's advice and call Alicia's familiar Snow.

”Snow!” I called in the vicinity of the garden. ”Snow, are you here?” I called once again.

As I know, Snow loves taking strolls outside at night. As a car, I always see her sleeping by day in different locations. Cats by nature are carefree and I am not sure where to find her.

”Snow!” I call out once again.

I decided that if I cannot find Snow, then I will head down and search for Alicia at the sea shore where we took our strolls. The night is a little dark with the moon at its quarter phase. If Alicia thought of going on a night stroll outside, then it was a little bit dangerous to go to the shore by now.

But then I thought of the voice she has told me a while ago. I knew that the voice I heard was not something ordinary. It might be something related to the forbidden magic that is near here.

Snow did not come out after I called out to her and so I decided to head down the sea shore. I lighted a fire on the palm of my hand using my magic to light up my way. I walked down the steep stairs down the sandy shore.

The shore was quite except for the calm waves I was hearing.

”Alicia!” I called out to the silent night. ”Are you here my love?”

I was getting anxious with every passing minute. Knowing that my wife is missing, I cannot bit help feel nervous, but for some reason I am not feeling frightened. Yes, I am anxious that my wife is nowhere to be found, but I am not afraid that she might be in danger which is odd.

”Alicia!” I call out once again. I am almost near the water's edge.

”Hey, Regaleon.” I heard a voice behind me. It was Anatalia's.

”Anatalia.” I saw her running towards me with something glowing in her arm.

”Thank the heavens I found you.” Anatalia said. ”This little one, I saw her at a foot of a tree.”

I looked at Anatalia's arms and that she was cradling Snow gently. Snow was sleeping peacefully and was enveloped with a din white glow.

”Is she alright?” I asked worridely. I know how Snow is connected to Alicia as a familiar. What happens to its master can be felt by its familiar.

”She seems to be sleeping peacefully.” Anatalia replied. ”I examined her and there seems to be nothing wrong, except for she is not waking up whatever I do.”

I sighed in relief, knowing that Snow is not in any form of danger. That just means that Alicia is also safe.

”The sea...” Anatalia's eyes wandered over the sea.

”What is it?” I asked with curiosity. ”Is something wrong?” I looked around to see the calm waters.

”The sea is calm... too calm.” Anatalia said in a daze while looking out to the sea. She started to walk towards the waters until her feet was submerged. ”Something is amiss. Can you see that?” She pointed out to the horizon.

I looked toward where she pointed and saw the dark night. But after my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I saw a faint glow on the horizon. It was not so distinct that you can miss it.

”I will go and see what is happening under the waters.” Anatalia gave Snow to me and then proceeded to dive under the waters.

”Be careful.” I called out to her but she was already under water. Not long I saw her fish tail swimming away.

”Tempest, I need you.” I called out to him. Not long, he was hovering right above me and landed in my outstretched arm.

”What happen to Snow?” Tempest asked looking at the sleeping cat cradled in my other arm.

”She seems to be sleeping but cannot be woken up.” I replied. ”I need you fly me toward that faint glow.” I pointed out.

”To the open sea?” Tempest asked. ”Come to think of it, I can sense something not normal over there.”

”I have a hunch we need to go there.” I told him.

”I feel that we need to stay clear from that place. But if Lady Alicia is there, then I will take you to her.” Tempest replied.

Tempest flew up and shifted to his phoenix form. I huge wave of wind blew the sand on the shore and I squinted my eyes to avoid it from entering. Tempest hovered beside me and I braced my body and jumped to mount onto his back. I positioned myself safely on his back with Snow still on my arms sleeping.

”Let's go Tempest.” I ordered.

Tempest flapped his huge wings and we were air born in no time.
