THE BORN

Elega already woke up.

Elega slowly woke up as she heard a chanting sound in her ears trying to call her to open her eyes. ‘Shikalahmiyah Yashilamika’, she keeps on hearing the words as if it is trying to pull her eyelids up.

Slowly the weariness of deep slumber escapes from her numb body as the chant enters her soul which brings her up to consciousness.

Elega opened her eyes. At first, everything was blurry but then reality crawls in. The chant stopped. She saw Lira’s smiling face and teary eyes.

“My queen, finally you wake up.” Lira said with happiness on her tone.

Elega slowly sits and then pushed herself out of the bed. She got out of balance and sit at her bed again. She holds her head with one hand as she felt a sudden pain inside it. She blinks twice as she tries to understand Lira’s words.

“Oh my queen, please take a rest for a moment. Your head is still slowly recovering from the Shikah spell” Lira cannot hide the worries she had in her voice.

“Shi �" Shikah? Why? Why would you need to use that spell on -. Wait. Did I? Did I almost die?” Elega had a cold sweat as she uttered the words.

“Yes, my queen. You have released three curses. A witch is allowed to release only one curse in her entire living as this is needed to sustain our power but what you did is beyond that.” Lira gave Elega a worried glance.

“I know that. But �" if you used the Shikah spell on me and pull my soul out from the underworld then - .” Elega covered her mouth with her hand to show fear with a wide eyes looking at Lira. “Then someone died in exchange for my living.”

“Mila. She insists to offer her life for you my queen. I would even do so but I am more adept in the Shikah spell.” Lira lowered her torso to show great respect to the queen and to Mila’s great sacrifice.

“Why would you go to this extent?! You could have just let me die in peace!” Elega said as teardrops fall from her eyes.

“Oh, no my queen. We will surely go to that extent as the princess is still not ready yet.” Lira said as she tries to comfort Elega.

“Princess?” Elega looked at her middle and saw that it is plain flat already. “Does this mean she is already out?!”

And i'm back intonthe world of fantasy and mystical times. What a fascinating use of words you use here and i find myself being drawn into your story once again. I was wuite surprised at how short this piece was BUT after saying that i an sure that there will be many more chapters to quench my thirst. You left it on a rather killer of a line and this will always bode wrll tell keep the reader wanting more.

Already this fantasy has built some characterisation and context as well as intrigue. The English needs some editing but the pace and storytelling are good.

[CAPOLAVORO]

Yes, I will try to do some editing then. Thank you so much for reading.
