Chapter 520 - Permission Denied (1/2)
Beneath the boulder, it sat quietly. The boulder was surrounded by thick dense vegetation. Poisonous tendrils and wild creepers had clasped it from all the sides. This place had been burnt and razed to the ground a few months back when there was a battle with Ziu going on. The Shadow lurked there beneath the rock and watched it all.
He was once a ruler of the Wizard Kingdom. His wand was his favorite lion that he had found abandoned on the seashore. Before dying he had released him from the spell of being a wand forever. If he ever had a chance to go back, he would call his favorite pet, his lion.
He had been sucked into the Land of Gaira and had tried his best to come out. After all those years only, only a piece of soul could escape but that piece demanded a lot of food. The Shadow was thirsty. His throat was dry and his eyeballs had shrunk. He looked at the tiny vials that had various colored smokes in them. A sardonic smile appeared on his deformed face. He picked one up that was red and drank its smoke.
That smoke was nothing but cries and pain and sufferings—emotions of those who were wounded in the war. He had carefully gone near all the dying ones and drained their emotions in his vials. He had a lot of supply to last long. He wiped his mouth and tossed the vial out, which mingled in the sand slowly. When he sat back to relax, his eyes were the same as before. He tried to put them in their sockets but they rolled out. He waited for the night to fall.

After getting ready, Adrianna had boarded her carriage to go to the noble court, when suddenly she found herself in the nursery again. Dmitri wasn't there but she found that the nannies were having a hard time with Ileus. He was hungry. She shook her head and took him from his nanny. The old nanny was the only one who Ileus ever allowed to be with. She took him to her bedroom, fed him and when he was again sleeping, she made him sleep in his cradle. She went to the noble court, satisfied that he wouldn't trouble for the next three hours.
As soon as she sat on the throne, the Crown appeared from its case behind and floated in the air only to settle on her head. Immediately Adrianna was sucked in and when she opened her eyes, she could see aura around everyone.
”Proceed,” she ordered.
The Minister of Relations stood from his place. ”My Queen, as we had discussed earlier, we must look into my proposal of sending the young wizards and witches to the Human Realm. This is going to widen their perspective in life.”
The Crown inside Adrianna's head whispered, ”I don't think it is needed.”
Adrianna took in a deep breath. She had to take a just decision. ”Why do you even feel the need to mingle with humans? The human won't like this. Who would like magic in their normal lives? I am sure the wizards would be attracted to use their magic at one point of time, and if that happens it could lead to chaos.”
”We are going to make them sign strict contracts,” replied the Minister.
”Are you going to make them sign a contract in which they will have to forego their magic? Then what is a wizard without magic?” she questioned.
The Minister gulped. How could he make them sign that kind of contract? ”But that kind of contract is not right,” he said. ”The idea is to control their magic amongst humans and also be with them.”
