Chapter 241: A mother's worry
In the ethereal confines of the Spire of Witches, bathed in the silvery glow of the moon, a woman stood alone in a room adorned with mystical artifacts and ancient tomes. The room's window offered an expansive view of the nocturnal city, its enchanting lights flickering like distant stars.
The woman, cloaked in a flowing gown that seemed to dance with the shadows, gazed pensively out of the window. Her eyes, pools of darkness gleaming with light, reflected the cityscape below.
As the moonlight spilled into the room, it revealed the woman's features—an ageless visage that bore the weight of countless secrets. Her long, obsidian hair cascaded down her shoulders, blending seamlessly with the shadows that enveloped her.
In the hushed silence of the spire, the woman seemed to hold a deep sorrow within her heart.
The city below, with its labyrinthine streets and hidden mysteries, unfolded like a tapestry beneath the woman's watchful gaze.
Angelina stepped into the moonlit room, casting a fleeting shadow on the ancient walls adorned with mystic symbols. The air carried a heavy silence, disrupted only by the soft rustle of flowing robes. As her eyes adjusted to the dim illumination, Angelina recognized the figure standing near the window, lost in the city's nocturnal panorama.
"Diana," she said, her voice a gentle whisper that reverberated in the quiet sanctum. Diana turned, her gaze meeting Angelina's, the weight of sorrow evident in her lifeless eyes. Since the time Diana had been brought to the Spire, she had withdrawn into a realm of silence, broken only by the mention of Jaegar's name.
With a heavy sigh, Diana spoke, her words carrying the burden of maternal heartache. "You know… my boy used to hold me whenever I felt sad, and he never let go of me. I used to feel secure and assured in his strong hands. He had been more of a man than a kid, and he never let me feel down in all these years. He was so perceptive and attentive, a child who filled my life with meaning.
Without him, my life feels empty."
Angelina, her expression mirroring the sorrow within Diana's eyes, approached her.
Diana couldn't forget the last images of Jaegar that she saw. And they have been haunting her since. She could still vividly remember the way Jaegar's eyes looked, filled with warmth and love, as he held her tightly. The memories of their bond replayed in her mind, intensifying the emptiness she now felt without him.
Despite the demanding responsibilities that came with her role as the Reverend Witch, Angelina spared no effort in trying to console and support Diana. The anguish etched on Diana's face deepened as she longed for news of Jaegar, her only solace in the midst of the unknown.
"Every day, I wait for news of him," Diana continued her voice a fragile thread in the tapestry of silence. Angelina empathized with her motherly grief, understanding the pain of uncertainty that gnawed at her heart. The special artefact, a necklace crafted to pinpoint Jaegar's exact location, had proven ineffective, adding to the frustration that loomed in the room.
As the moon continued its skyward journey, casting its glow upon the two women bound by the threads of fate, the Spire of Witches held within its walls the echoes of a shared sorrow—a silent lament for a son lost in the enigmatic tapestry of magic and mystery.
Angelina, a pillar of strength amid the shadows, approached Diana with a soothing touch on her shoulder. The soft glow of the moon bathed them in its silvery luminescence, casting an ethereal ambience in the room.
Diana stood in the familiar room within the Spire of Witches, a place she had returned to after more than a decade. She had once visited this place with her sister back in the day. Her arrival, however, was not voluntary but spurred by the distressing events that unfolded the day she witnessed Jaegar's torment.
The memories of that fateful day haunted her, the vivid images of Jaegar's face contorted in pain etched in her mind. The unnatural shade of purple, the veins spreading like a web across his skin—it was a manifestation of suffering she could scarcely comprehend. Yet, amidst his agony, Jaegar's concern for her safety pierced through the pain.
The room, filled with ancient tomes and mystical artefacts, bore witness to a reunion steeped in both sorrow and determination. Diana's gaze swept over the arcane symbols adorning the walls, each telling a tale of magic and resilience. She had returned not just to the Spire but to a pivotal moment in her past—one that demanded answers and resolution.
As she stood amidst the mystical energies that permeated the Spire, Diana's thoughts were a maelstrom of emotions. The bond she shared with Jaegar, her nephew, transcended the ordinary; it was a connection forged in the crucible of family and magic. The intervening years had not dulled the ache she felt for him, nor had it erased the sense of responsibility that weighed heavily on her shoulders.
"Diana, I understand your pain, and I share in your grief. Jaegar is strong, and I promise you, we will find him," Angelina reassured, her words a gentle balm in the presence of sorrow.

Diana, though comforted by Angelina's presence, couldn't shake the weight of her worry. Her eyes, once vibrant with the love for her son, now held a glimmer of desperation. "But where is he? Every moment without news feels like an eternity. I can't bear not knowing if he's safe."
Angelina, unwavering in her resolve, clasped Diana's hands in hers. "I've dispatched my most skilled witches to search for Jaegar. The magical currents are in turmoil, making it challenging, but I won't rest until he's found. We'll leave no stone unturned, Diana. He is not alone in this, and we will bring him back to you."
Diana, her eyes searching Angelina's for reassurance, found a glimmer of hope in the sincerity of her words. The Spire, usually a haven of arcane mysteries, now stood witness to a shared commitment—one fueled by maternal love and the unyielding determination of a revered witch.
As the moon continued its celestial journey, the room echoed with the promise of a reunion, a pledge made under the watchful gaze of the ancient symbols adorning the walls. Angelina, with unwavering resolve, vowed to traverse the magical realms and bring Jaegar back to the embrace of his worried mother.
The Spire of Witches, a bastion of both magic and compassion, bore witness to the unfolding saga of a mother's love, determined to pierce through the veil of uncertainty and reunite with her lost son.
