As soon as I entered the wedding room, before I had time to settle down, I was pushed down on the bed, the feeling of nausea did not stop rising. This is not the old billionaire that the Wilsons talked about. Hot breath on my face, big hands gripping my shoulders, wet kisses over my neck sending shivers down my spine. "Quick, get out of my way!" I shouted loudly. Aggressively kick the other person a strong one. "Ah... aaa... aaa." The sound of pain resounding made me bewildered. The light in the room suddenly turned bright. Both me and the young man looked at each other. Facing me were those familiar emerald green eyes. The person in front of me was not an old man, but an extremely strong young man who looked very familiar. He was extremely handsome and manly in a white shirt, unbuttoned, his facial features as delicate as a marble statue. "Where have I seen you before?" The young man frowned, thinking. His eyes were still fixed on me, not leaving. "I... I've never met you." I tried to turn my face away, hiding my embarrassment and blushing. It was Rowan. My heart pounded wildly in my chest. The fiery red hair, the mesmerizing blue eyes... it was him.
Chapter 1 Steve's Secret
Steve and I held hands through the dark woods sleeping under the fiery red moon of the Fire Moon. Here is Helwingia, the land of magic, dragons and demons, also home to the most powerful sorcerers. Normal creatures could not live in this sweltering and scorching hot atmosphere. But for witches, the Fire Moon contains a boundless source of energy that makes our magic stronger, if we don't absorb it daily, our magic will be much weaker. Once the witches are weakened, unable to defend the land of Helwingia, they will quickly become prey for the demons to bite.
That's what we Payne family always try not to let happen.
"Steve, where are we going?" I'm Lylian, the guardian witch of the FireBird God - Fuchsia and Steve – one of the highest ranking witches in love, also for a hundred years. It's not the first time I've dated him either, but I'm still surprised by Steve's odd requests.
"Wait a minute Lylian, and you'll know soon enough! Very surprised. Ha ha ha." Steve laughs, cordially takes my hand, caress, caress.
"You are always so secretive! But why do you want me to bring the book "Black Forbidden Magic"? If Miss Laura knew, she would be very angry. No one in Helwingia has the right to touch it, except for the Payne family, the guardian family of the FireBird God - Fuchsia." I have a feeling of insecurity. This time we did not go on a date in the Ezian flower hill or in the Lantanas flower field like before. Where is Steve trying to take me? The sky was growing eerily crimson, and the air was hotter than usual. This road is very strange, I have never passed it.
"Look, where is the front? I'll tell you what I need the "Black Forbidden Magic" book for, Lylian. In the book "Black Forbidden Magic" there are instructions to regenerate the Tree of Immortality, using the magic tree as proof of our marriage." Steve caressed my hair gently, smiling.
"Really... Do you want to marry me?" I smile happily, gripping Steve's hand tighter.
"Yes, Lylian, that's my aim."
We had traveled more than two hundred miles, passing through the valley of the Bloody Ruby, and in front of us was the Sea of Dragon's Tears - the land to the East of Helwingia, where the Black Dragon family ruled. From a distance, a gypsum tower can be seen touching the sky, where the brightest light is radiating, where the Fire Moon is kept - it is said that the Fire Moon is the eye of the FireBird God - Fuchsia. This is also the place where the most powerful energy is stored...
The waves of fury were constantly rising, the water splashed, as if to swallow us into the black sea. It's not just the sea, it's also the Abyss of Death, where thousands of ferocious, unruly monsters are located. These monsters are one of the spells that the Black Dragon family uses to hold the Fire Moon, avoiding greedy people who want to take it for their own. The person in charge of taking care of the Fire Moon is Victor - the second son of Black Dragon King - Yew, the son of the most powerful dragon.
"Steve, why did you bring me here? You told me to use the "Black Forbidden Magic" to perform the resurrection of the Immortal Tree to witness our marriage. But you never said you had to go to the Sea of Dragon's Tears."
Steve's eyes lit up with an eerie glint, and he stared at me.
"Can't you feel the boundless power of the Fire Moon? The Immortal Tree under the Fire Moon's influence will surely grow quickly. I can't wait a second longer, I want to get married soon to you, Lylian."
I was mesmerized by Steve's eyes that were darker than the night sea. Right after that, Steve hugs me tightly, placing a passionate kiss on my lips.
"Steve, I love you."
"Lylian, I love you too."
Steve spoke softly into my ear, word for word, very clear.
"Quick, give me "Black Forbidden Magic", we need to resurrect the Immortal Tree right now."
"Wait, I have a better way to revive the Immortal Tree, this "Black Forbidden Magic" is very dangerous, we can't control it with our strength!" Suddenly I felt fear again, I was not prepared to break the rules of the witch to protect Helwingia, even in the name of love. I still have a feeling of regret in my head, I shouldn't risk bringing the book "Black Forbidden Magic" here! The Fire Moon is the eye of the FireBird God - Fuchsia, what if something happens? The place where we stood was also too close to the Fire Moon.
"You idiot, is there a faster way than using black magic? Haven't you read the "Black Forbidden Magic" book while holding it?" Steve raised his voice, he seemed impatient.
It is true that I have never read the book "Black Forbidden Magic", Miss Laura has drawn the most horrible scenes for me if I persisted in opening it! Of which, at worst, I could be swallowed up by the "Black Forbidden Magic" book and disappear from Helwingia forever.
"No, I've never read it. I was warned it was dangerous." I shook my head.
"Stupid! Without black magic, how would we become the most powerful wizards? You have a chance to dominate all the witches that you don't know how to take! If you want, I can work with you."
My head is hazy, not understanding what Steve means. He has always been very ambitious, also very enthusiastic, that is why the leader of the protection team Ixora and Henris still trust him very much.
"Steve, what nonsense are you talking about? I just want to be able to marry you and live happily ever after. I don't need to be a mighty wizard."
Steve suddenly grabs my chin, lifts it, smirks wickedly.
"Lylian, what a pity. You're the most beautiful witch I've ever known, you're so nice to me too... but you're so stupid!"
My face was squeezed so tightly by Steve's big hand that it hurt, turning red like a ripe eggplant.
"Steve, what are you mad about?" I thought Steve was joking with me like always... but no.
He reached out and snatched my waist bag, the bag containing the "Black Forbidden Magic" book.
"No... Steve, you can't take it!"
I shouted, eyes widening, looking at him. Steve is stealing the book "Black Forbidden Magic"... me, I've been tricked by him! No love, no marriage... What he needed was the book "Black Forbidden Magic". I understood what Steve said earlier. He doesn't need love, what he needs is dark magic that can change the universe. That was Steve's biggest ambition.
