Chapter 126: 125. Alike

Eden looked at Alicia's face which lit up and he followed the direction of her eyes. His head lowered to his chest and he saw the light piercing through the mesh of his sweater.

"Oh! The Moon protection mark!" he said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Before the old witch could react, a red will-o'-the-wisp similar to the one that had taken refuge in the witch's body to warm her appeared and rushed towards Eden. Without any hesitation, it entered the werewolf's body.

"What the…? What's gotten into it? Why is it acting like that?" cried Eden as he lifted the sweater.

He immediately felt his body warming up. The feeling was not the most pleasant for a werewolf who already has a high temperature.

When the fabric revealed his skin, they had a better view of what was happening. A rune the size of a ping pong ball had appeared where the will-o'-the-wisp had entered and several circles of smaller runes traced around it, as the spell was activating.

"Don't worry! I asked it to do this. Now that we have found a door to your magic, we can finally start the real things." Gabriella smirked and looked at her grandmother. "Looks like the younger generation hasn't said its last word."

Alicia crossed her arms over her chest unresponsive to the provocation and only narrowed her eyes to observe the spell-induced reaction to her granddaughter's cast.

"Hm, next time I'd appreciate if my body wasn't used as a yardstick to decide the winner of your intergenerational quarrel," the male omega said.

Gabriella was about to dismiss his comment with a joke but the Servant of Talamh looked up at Eden and met the icy gaze of the blond. She saw his aura that had just intensified, and with a small smile, she apologized and then focused on the circles of runes that kept appearing on the younger werewolf's body. When the last rune circles formed and the last rune appeared right next to the red crescent moon, all of the runes began to glow a shimmering red.

With a light tap of her knobstick on the ground, the old witch gave a signal to Caraid and the spirit reinforced its wind barrier. The scene quickly became supernatural. It was as if, trapped between two blades of invisible glass, winds strong enough to be the result of tornadoes were unleashed.

Not a single breeze of air roamed around the rest of the room, yet Eden was sure that if he dared to put a finger in the barrier of wind that surrounded him and Glen, his regeneration ability would not be too much. He didn't want to check if he was right and kept his arms stuck to his body.

Inside the wind barrier, the effect of Alicia's and Gabriella's spells grew stronger. The runes that had appeared on the werewolf's chest still shimmered and soon a new rune appeared on Eden's forehead. It was neither white nor red like the spells cast by the two Servants of Talamh, but the same color as the young werewolf's aura. Dazzling gold.

"By all the gods…" Alicia muttered as she moved closer. She kept her distance and was careful not to touch the circle of wind but soon her expression changed to something restless and impatient.

What Alicia had just seen on Eden's forehead was one of the reasons why the Servant of Talamh spent her time urging the young people of her clan to learn the runes which are the pillars of their magic but also of all the magic of all the clans of witches.

What was on Eden's forehead wasn't a rune but a combination of two runes. She squinted and noticed that one of those two runes didn't quite have the same color. Dark black reflections appeared in places and despite her knowledge, she was unable to tell what magic it was.

"Uair!" Alicia exclaimed and a huge sundial appeared on the floor and resized to fit the surface of the wind barrier.

When it was in place, the old witch tapped the floor again with her cane and the two magic spells of wind and fire froze thanks to the time spell. The circle of wind that surrounded the two werewolves and formed a barrier ceased immediately. At least that was their impression.

The spell was still in place so the two witches could still see the magic materialized. The old woman moved forward, motioning her granddaughter to stay away. Alicia walked with cautious steps towards the two werewolves and when she was near the wind barrier, she traced a blue rune on the surface with her index finger. She put her hand on the rune and the barrier let her body pass. Alicia then approached her face to that of Eden, her eyes glued to his forehead.

The male Omega didn't flinch. Even though he was uneasy because of the situation, he knew that the woman was one step away from understanding something.

"Make it appear!" the old witch suddenly asked after stepping back to be a decent distance.

As she spoke, she enlarged the wind barrier and the sundial so that they no longer just surround Eden and Glen but take up the entire room.

The blond didn't need the woman to explain what she was talking about. He opened his system and while he had his pale blue holographic screen in front of his eyes, a replica appeared in the room before the amazed eyes of the two Servants.

"By the power of Talamh, what is this?"

Eden was scrolling through the screens without really paying attention to what it was displaying. He just wanted the witch to discover the interface and tell him everything she could about it. He also wanted to check that the two women were also able to see the screens correctly and not just him and his mate.

"Can you see it now?"

"As clearly as I see the sunrise each day and I can tell you one thing. This gift is indeed a gift offered by the Moon Goddess. I can clearly feel its magic and there is also this rune," she pointed to the brightest rune on Eden's forehead.

"However..." Her finger slid to the other rune and Alicia's gaze darkened as she narrowed her eyes to speak.

"But the Moon Goddess didn't create this thing."

"The Goddess didn't create the system?"

"A system?"

"That's what I call it. I didn't think to ask for the official name when this strange messenger came to talk to me the first time the system appeared," explained the omega with a hint of humor in his voice.

"A messenger?" The heads of the two witches suddenly turned at the same time to look at Eden and Glen who no longer knew what to think of their reaction.

"Yes, a messenger," the blond confirmed as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

Alicia and Gabriella exchanged a look then looked back at the werewolf and his mate.

"Who are you?" The old woman's voice showed unsteady emotion for the first time, and her voice cracked slightly.

Eden frowned. He didn't understand the change in the woman's attitude or what she was implying with her question. Gabriella, on the other hand, had turned to the replica of the screen which now displayed the information of the male omega and she tapped without bothering to turn around, on her grandmother's shoulder. Alicia spun around to see what she wanted. She read the part of the screen that the young woman was pointing at, just like Eden and Glen.

"Oh, that." The blond commented and the two women were back to stare at him with wide eyes. "Yeah, the Skinwalkers told me I was destined to be a king or something. But it's ok, it doesn't change anyth…"

"Are you kidding me? It changes everything! I mean you are a Chosen being."

"Well, yes but… I'm still me."

He shrugged with an uneasy smile and decided to move the attention back to what interested him. Eden displayed Glen's information and once again the eyes of the two women almost popped out of their sockets when they saw the line indicating the name of Warrior of the Moon Goddess. The male omega cut off their comment when he displayed the data about his mate's curse.

Alicia focused on the alpha who had managed to stay low despite his impressive stature. Before he could protest, Alicia approached Glen and passed him. The werewolf thought he had escaped proper inspection when he realized that the witch had walked to his aura.

The golden wolf, docile, sat on the ground, while the old woman circled it. Alicia's eyes paused on where the curse was attached to the golden wolf and she narrowed her eyes.

"The original spell has been changed. It has been separated from something there," her finger passed by what was one of Light's whips. "It would have been a perfect job if, once the source of the spell eliminated, the person who helped you had managed to decipher the main sequence of runes that binds the spell to your aura to destroy it.

But that's not the only problem. Something has altered the spell," she pointed to a spot she barely touched and a set of glowing black symbols appeared on the surface of the thing grafted onto Glen's wolf.

It was barely perceptible with naked eyes, but the witch was used to flushing out runes and she had spotted it immediately.

A character had disappeared leaving its location empty in the sequence and, Above, two unknown symbols created a whole new spell. Alicia was quite impressed that a witch had managed to sever the connection with the source of the spell. She turned to the two werewolves.

"Who is the witch who helped you with this curse?"

"Silphie!" The alpha and the omega had answered at the same time, and Alicia couldn't hide her surprise when she learned that it was her daughter who had done this nearly flawless job. She couldn't have done better herself and, to her great regret, she couldn't do anything more.

"I'll be honest with you, I don't know who cast this curse, but whoever this person is, they are very powerful. They used runes that even I have never seen. Whatever these runes mean, I think that's the root of the hang you're experiencing when you read the information with this interface." The witch pointed to the system screen. "But there is one last thing..."

The witch walked away from the two werewolves and dispelled her spells. Alicia walked over to her granddaughter. With a nod, she asked Gabriella to dispel her spell and the young woman obeyed her command.

The young Servant of Talamh then saw her grandmother stand next to her and Caraid materialized on her shoulder along with another spirit. The young woman couldn't believe she was watching this spirit with her own eyes. It was among the most powerful to those who have made a contract with her grandmother and Gabriella didn't understand why Alicia had called such a spirit.

"I'm only going to ask the question once so I hope you'll give me an honest answer. I saw what this interface tells about you. However, the rune of a strange color that I saw on your forehead," she announced, pointing to Eden before continuing. "The architecture of this system and also the fact that this black and unknown magic has managed to graft itself onto your aura is a sign that there is something in common between you and this nefarious entity whoever it is. What exactly is chasing after you and why does this thing look so much like you?"

Alicia finished her sentence and the spirit next to Caraid calmly moved to stand halfway between the witches and the werewolves. Both Eden and Glen could sense the old woman's animosity.

As if they had heard a silent call, hundreds of will-o'-the-wisp of all colors shot into the house and created a barrier between the werewolves and the two witches.
