Chapter 39

"What is this place?" I asked as I walked over to the wall made of gold. I touched it gently; the wall was hard and rocky.

"This room is the safest room in the fortress," Ace said, stepping beside me.

"This place is amazing, but it's so small. This place can't fit over twenty people." I looked around the room, confused to why the safest room in the fortress was so small.

"The room expands from the amount of people. This room expand and fit thousands of people, but it can also become smaller to fit two people."

"So there is a spell on this room?" I gazed at this room with amazement.

"There is many spells on this room. One of them is too expand or become small to fit the people, the other is to keep any sounds from going out of the room. As this is the safest room in the castle it needs lots of spells made by strong witches, so that it can't be unbounded by another witch."

"How old is this room?" I asked, staring around in amazement.

"More than a five hundred years old. It was the first safe rooms to be built in the castle."

If I Ace had not given me all this information, I would never have thought that a golden room would be the safest room in the whole fortress. I would have thought that this room had been more than five hundred years old and that many people would have been down here.

I turned towards Ace, my eyes widened as I realise that Ace had been staring at me the whole time. Ace turned towards me and pulls me by the waist. I gasped aloud from the sudden movement. I stared into Ace's red eyes; the serious expression on his face has quickly changed into something else. From all the time I had spent with him, I had never uncovered what that expression is.

Ace tugged on my waist, pulling me even closer to his body. Slowly Ace tilted his head and leaned in towards me, as our lips touched each other's I finally relaxed for the first time since we have been attacked.

Something about being with Ace made me know I was in a safe place. I wrapped my arms around Ace's neck, I felt Ace put his hands on my thighs and slowly he pickeds them up until he was wrapping my legs around his waist. As I let out a man I pleasure I felt Ace's hands on my thighs tighten until he slowly lets go.

He slowly put me back onto my feet. My chest heaved up and down, trying to catch my breath. Ace let go of my waist and walked over to the other side of the room. Finally after a few seconds of silence Ace turned around to face me.

I noticed that his face back to being serious. Something was on his mind because Ace only went serious when he was going to tell me something that was not very believable or he was going to tell me something that I might not agree with.

"I want you to do a spell," Ace calmly said.

I stared at him in shock. I opened my mouth to ask him how I was going to do the spell when I had never practiced magic before, but Ace spoke first.

"All you have to do is say the words repeatedly, for the first few times nothing will happen but slowly the words will fall into effect. Even if the spell does not work fully, the slightest effect will make big difference. The difference couldn't also make this our chance of winning the war."

"Won't the enemy find out where we are because I am using magic?"

"No, another spell that was put on this room was that no other supernatural being could figure out where the spell was being said."

"Does this mean that they won't be able to track us down to the safe room?"

"Exactly," Ace said, nodding his head, "Here is the book from which the spell you are going to read is in." Ace opened the book and flips through a number of pages until he reached a page filled with seven words that were not English.

Zmrazit mmadụ nile ka a akpụrụ akpụ

"What language is this?" I asked, staring at the unfamiliar words before me.

"The language is Igbo."

"Igbo? I have never heard of that language before," I said, "Is every spell from the same language?" I moved my fingers over the seven words that are written in bold.

"Not every spell is written in the same language. It all depends on who wrote, where the person wrote it and which era the person wrote it in."

I nodded my head fascination. This was the first time in my life I had ever felt so intrigued by something. I had always been interested in things but after a few minutes, I got over it. Something about magic intrigued me to no end. It was as if magic is meant for me.

"Here repeat after me," Ace said loudly, making me break out of my train of thoughts.

"Zmrazit mmadụ nile ka a akpụrụ akpụ." He said is slowly, so that I can hear how he pronounces the words. Ace nodded his head at me, telling me to repeat what he had just said.

"Zmrazit," I said slowly, unsure to if I am saying it right.

"You are doing great for a person who has never done magic. Most people take years trying to pronounce the words right."

Even though all Ace said to me was that I was doing great, something about it made me feel more confident. I opened my mouth and repeat the word but this time, with a little more confidence.

"What does this spell mean?"

"The spell means to freeze everybody like a statue."

"Does everybody in the castle get frozen?" I tilted my head to the side waiting for Ace's answer.

Something inside me feels interested in the magic. I didn't if I was interested in magic because it was in genes or that I was genuinely interested.

"Yes, expect the hybrids and the Forte brothers. This spell is strong but not strong enough to overpower hybrid while the Forte brothers have a strong spell on them which protects them from any spell being put on them."

"What is the point of putting the spell then? Isn't the whole point to kill the Forte brothers?"

"Yes, but in order to do that, we must kill all the minor threats. If we don't then we will be doing a suicide mission as any minor threat like an ordinary vampire or werewolf could have a spell put on them and they could do some harmful things."

"What will the hybrids do while everybody is frozen?"

"They will kill everybody they can. The spell won't last long as your body has not become fully hybrid yet."

"Is there a chance that the spell won't work because I am not a full hybrid yet?"

"There is a chance of that but for now let's be positive. Negative energy never helps when performing a spell."

"Will you get frozen?" I asked finally. Ever since Ace told me what this spell did I wondered if he would get frozen like everybody else.

"Yes," he said slowly, taking in my reaction.

I swallowed the lump in my throat, I didn't know what to expect. Was I supposed to be excited for trying my first spell or was I supposed to be nervous?

"I think that is enough information for now. Let's start again. Repeat the spell after me. Zmrazit mmadụ nile ka a akpụrụ akpụ."

"Zmrazit mmadụ." I stopped trying to remember how the next few words were pronounced.

"Nile ka a akpụrụ akpụ," Ace said.

"Zmrazit mmadụ nile ka akpụrụ akpụ," I say slowly.

"You forgot the a after the ka. The is how you say it, Zmrazit mmadụ nile ka a akpụrụ akpụ."

"Zmrasit madụ nile ka a akpụrụ akpụ."

"You are not pronouncing the words Zmrazit correctly. There is a z there not a s, and mmady has two mm's so stretch the beginning of the word longer."

"Zmrazit mmadụ nile ka a akpụrụ akpụ," I said slowly, unsure if I had pronounced everything correctly.

"Yes," Ace said. A smile forming on his on his face, "You have got it right!"

"Is that is it?" I asked in astonishment.

I had thought that learning this spell would have taken a long time, but somehow I learned the spell much quicker than I expected. Something inside me was happy that I learned a spell.

Even though I didn't know if my body will accept the spell now, I did know that when my body allows me to perform spells I will be ready.

"Yes."

"But am I not pronouncing the words wrong?"

"You are not pronouncing the words entirely right but as you say it more often, you will get it right."
