Chapter 73: Cleansing

The beautiful glorious light expanded and flowed throughout her body, cleansing and purifying her very being, before exploding outwards.

Red-gold light filled the surroundings, outshining every glow in the vicinity. The serpentines shielded their eyes, the brilliant radiance blinding their sight.

On the other side of the Nar realm, in the Underworld Palace of the Werewolf clan, Ramose was absentmindedly instructing Olsen to prepare the queen's palace. Even though Versailles refused to come with him, he still wanted her rooms to be clean and ready.

As her image flashed through his mind, his heart raced and he had the uncontrollable desire to see her again. They had only recently mated, but he had been dreaming of her for eighteen years. In his heart, her image was already deeply engraved. Now, his soul followed where his heart-led, and for that, he was grateful.

Before meeting her at the valley of flames, he had never once considered what he was going to do after seeing her, 18 years later. He only knew he had to meet her. And when he did, he never got the chance to approach her, let alone express his gratitude.

She came and went as swiftly as a breeze, not leaving even a trace of her presence behind. He madly howled and searched, but never received a response. Dejected and frustrated, he led his pack back home, throwing them into intensive, extreme training.

At that time, he did not know.

He didn't know that the girl he had nightmares of and fretted over would become his mate. He didn't know she would enter his life in such a way.

Looking from a different perspective, the instant they met 18 years ago, the instant she rushed to his side, the instant her image branded itself into his heart, their fates connected, their paths intertwining.

Sighing wistfully, Ramose gazed at the silver-blue moon, missing his fire-kissed beloved.

He was not lying when he said he would be leaving his heart behind.

He felt deeply for her, almost to the point of obsession, but he did not know how she felt about him.

Right at this moment, his heart lurched as if struck by lighting.

Stunned, he held his chest, his eyes growing wide as he distinctively felt his aura change. From wild, forceful, and untamed, it became deep, mysterious, and oppressive, exuding pressure without his intention.

The other individual in the room, Olsen, felt the change as well. He slowly backed up as the overwhelming pressure pricked his skin like needles. Confusion covering his face, his eyes directly shot to his king.

"King Ramose, are you alright?" Olsen was anxious, anxiety gripping his heart as he saw his king's dazed appearance. The werewolf king was neither moving nor responding, seemingly unaware of the drastic changes in his being.

Ramose was at first alarmed, then thinking of his unpredictable and unsurpassable mate, an endearing smile appeared on his face. One way or another, he knew everything that was happening had a connection to her.

The sudden lurch in his heart disappeared, leaving behind only warmth.

Closing his eyes, he sent his spirit inside his core. There, he saw his soul encircled by tri-golden rings of fire, swirling and glowing as they released pulses of warm light. The light-shielded his wolf soul, which glowed with a brilliant red-gold flame at its tail that was originally fiery red.

Swishing and sweeping, the tail gave of a majestic and glorious golden aura, the likes of which he had never seen before. He smiled contentedly, his restless heart soothed by the flame tail that reminded him so much of his beloved.

Raising his sight, his heart hammered in his chest. The pure, clean, and clear, violet pupils of his wolf soul made him feel as if he was not looking at himself, but at his mate. The gaze, so deep and penetrative, felt like she was right there.

"Versailles...?" He asked in confusion.

And what he saw next, sent his mind reeling.

The black wolf with red-gold flame tail and purple pupils, inside the tri-golden fire rings,

Smiled at him!!!

Versailles smiled in glee as she saw Ramose's dumbfounded expression before the link went dead.

Floating inside her inner core, she expectantly watched her fiery soul turn into a radiant red-gold, before comfortably settling inside the tri-golden fire rings.

"What happened just now, could it have something to do with the invisible shield? I used it on my soul before my rebirth. I also helped the Snake Queen clear the dark magic battered by the shield from her mind just now. Maybe, the two created a reaction which brought about this change?"

She remembered.

Every time she rushed into the invisible shield, her soul trembled as if it was being grinded and heated under a fierce flame, purging out all the impurity inside her soul. Not only the impurity from the black smoke, but the one ingrained within her being from the time of her birth.

She experienced the sensation of her mind clearing, her senses heightening. But as she was too exhausted, tired, and tormented with physical agony, she did not pay much heed.

Now, it seemed, she reaped the boon from her previous life, in her present life.

Not only did the invisible shield cleanse her soul, but it also purged out the impurities she retained in her body from her birth. Now, with both the black smoke and dormant impure properties cleansed from her soul, she felt lighter, clearer, and more confident.

She felt more aware.

Versailles sighed in amazement at the wonders of fate and withdrew her consciousness.

The moment she opened her eyes, the red-gold light bursting from her body dimmed and winked out, filling the surrounding in the dull red glow of the Nar realm sky, Flaming Trees and Nether Flowers adding a slight glow.

"Versailles, are you alright?" Queen Nakee, seeing her friend finally open her eyes, tearfully wept in relief.

Versailles immediately felt bad on seeing the Snake Queen's tearful appearance. She knew she must have worried the green serpentine. Walking over, she smiled slightly, her gentle voice filling the quiet island.

"I am fine. I was only in meditation, and wanted to ascertain the black magic was truly cleared out." Wiping her friend's tears, she turned to the spectating serpentines.

"Did anything happen while I was out? Did Queen Nakee experience any blackouts after waking up?" She patiently asked.

"No. The queen did not experience any blackouts. We were just a little worried about you. Once the queen gained consciousness, you went silent." A genuine smile graced Wisdom's lips as she looked at the gold serpentine.

With her safe and healthy, they had a fighting chance against the darkness magic wielder.

"Yes, Versailles. Do you know how worried we were to see you not respond to any of our calls? Thankfully, you got better, otherwise, your mate would have taken his wrath on the serpentines." The yellow elder smiled nervously, her flickering gaze filled with embarrassment from the earlier outburst.

On the mention of Ramose, Versailles' recalled her brief experience.

Her spirit entered the black wolf's consciousness.

Her spirit was inside his wolf soul. She was able to see Ramose's spirit body from inside his wolf soul.

The implication of the matter was one unheard of.

'Is this also part of the mating bond? Two soulmates had the ability to enter each other's souls? Or is it a result of the cleansing?'

Her jumbled mind tried to make sense of things, but she was not confident in either solutions. Deciding to let the matter rest, for now, she focused back on the problems at hand.

Before the start of the Battle of Wit, she had a journey to make.

"Now that we achieved our goal for coming here, we should go back to the abode. We also need to find out how the ancestors were able to cast such a shield. Only when we do, will we have a greater chance at resisting the shadow armies." Her firm voice drifted through the chilly air, advent of the impending ice night.

"You are right. If we find out how our ancestors were able to cast such a shield, we will be able to better protect the Snake clan and the Nar realm's prospects of overcoming this ordeal would increase."

"But where do we start looking? There is no historical heritage inside the secret abode of the Snake clan. So, how are we going to find out about a magical shield, cast who knows how long ago, in the snake abode?"

"What we need to focus on is not where or how, but why. Why were the ancestors forced to cast such a shield in the first place? If we find out which events in the Nar realm history were the most horrific or related to darkness magic, then maybe, we can find a lead." Wisdom's wise eyes flashed in thought as she voiced her suggestion.

"Yes, I agree with our white serpentine. We should focus on drastic events that shaped the present Nar realm." The brown elder seconded.

"Ok, we will start from there then." Now that her mind was clearer, the Snake Queen was more energetic, her green eyes flashing with light.

Okay, you should go on and get started, then. I need to go somewhere for a while. I will be back before the start of the Battle of Wit." Versailles waved her hand in farewell and instantly vanished in a blur of golden radiance.

The serpentines did not even get a chance to ask questions.
