Meanwhile in a certain hotel...

Selena was dressed in her red robe, sitting on the edge of the bed with her leg thrown over the other. She swirled the wine in the glass before taking a sip while listening to the voice from the other end, she was on a call.

"Keep the girl, monitor her progress, and teach her what she has to know about her powers. I have an inkling there's more to that prophecy, she just needs a bit of time to discern it fully" she added," I want her ready the next time I visit little Town"

Selena didn't base in Little Town in fact, she didn't even have a specific place to call home - none of the council heads did- due to the fact she had to watch over a continent and was always on the move; no time to get attached to a place.

"Yes, council head Selena " Gazia answered humbily.

"Also, deploy more hunters. Let them investigate the strange increase in death rate and report any strange finding especially involving the dark witches and the Burning Eaglet"

"Yes, ma'am"

" Also -"

Selena was interrupted when she saw a ripple in the air and a glowing portal opened as Ian stepped into her hotel suite.

Oh, him.

"I'll call you back for further instructions"

"Yes, council head Selena"

She ended the call.

"What are you doing here? I didn't invite you as far as I remember" Selena twisted and stretched her body backward, placing the glass on the vanity table beside her bed.

"Are you still angry that I didn't support you during the gathering? Come-on, you know that wasn't a private business" Ian told her.

Selena rolled her eyes," You should go and support your dearest Vashti, the both of you work out fine these days" Selena pointed out, walking past him but Ian used his magic to pull her back.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

His hand went around her waist, pressing her against the bulge in his trousers.

"I could support her but at the end of the day, it's you that I want," said the sweet talker

Selena shook her head at his honeyed words yet didn't push him away.

"Really" her hand felt his muscled chest through his shirt.

She glued her lips to his, giving him a long kiss which fired up and turned into a tango of lips and tongues.

This was why Vashti hated her, Ian gave more attention to her than she. Everyone knew Ian was a player but who cares, the man was a mastery at how to bring a woman to ecstasy.

Moreover, this wasn't the first time she and Vashti had fought and they would soon reconcile in ten years or so time. They had already gone through this sort of scene over and over to the point it was becoming tiring and predictable.

"You're one beautiful lady" Ian murmured against her lips, his hand gliding down and cupped her ass, rubbing her against his arousal while Selena moaned in approval.

With hurried hands, she took off Ian's shirt and slid down his jeans with her magic leaving him clad in his brief that barely concealed his throbbing prick.

He pouted, "That's unfair, you get to see me and I get nothing in return"

"That's your punishment for disobeying your mistress" She smirked and slapped his buttcheek earning a playful "oh" from him.

"I like where this is going," Ian said cheekily and craned his neck watching the cord that Selena had summoned, binding his hands to the headboard after being pushed back on the bed.

"You always like everything going in this direction" Selena whispered into his ears, nipping his earlobe and pulled away.

Ian's eyes darkened with lust gaping at her taking off her robe with a slow sensual dance while astride him.

Holding his gaze, she carefully lay her body on top of his saying "Now, satisfy your mistress" guiding one of her full round breasts into his willing open mouth.

Due to his tied hands, Ian was unable to keep her stable, so he sloppily sucked and bit her nipples to the best he could with her undiluted moans making him heady.

When she obtained enough attention on her twin peaks, Selena got rid of the last of the flimsy material hiding his decency and took the whole of his manhood into her mouth.

Ian released a series of curses as she handled him with expertise, touching him up and down from shaft to base accompanied by her ravenous lick.

She continued with the act of pleasuring him and each time he was close to coming, she would magically bring him back to level one, torturing and teasing him till he almost cried tears.

Finally, Selena let go of that instrument of pleasure and mounted him, using her hand to guide it into her entrance before sinking down on it, burying the whole of its body inside of her while marveling for the umpteenth time at how far she was stretched.

She began to move up and down, a movement Ian found slow which provoked him to release the restraint magically and grabbed her waist, introducing her to a more vigorous thrust.

The laborious heaving of a woman and the groaning of a man with flesh slapping against flesh resonated throughout the room.

The couple was so engrossed in their action that they were scared out of their wits when a redhead appeared in their room in the middle of nowhere.

The passion died at once.

Selena screamed, bringing the sheet up to her chest. Thinking it was one of her fellow council head, she began to scold the witch harshly

"What the fuck is wrong with …" She flattered, having realized this wasn't a sister witch but why did she look oddly familiar?

"Hello Selena, how have you been?"

Wait a minute, that voice.

Selena's eyes widened, her mouth agape. How was that possible? She was supposed to be dead!

"And you Ian, you never get tired of v@ginas, do you?"

Ian was in no better state than Selena.

"S-sis...Sis…"

At that moment, Selena tried to attack but the redhead was quick to freeze them both with a spell. Both of them could watch everything with their eyes however, couldn't move a muscle.

"You can come in now" The redhead announced.

The door clicked and a male and a female strode into the room.

"Your ladyship" Both bowed, she barely acknowledged it.

Her ladyship smirked at Selena whose eyes were filled with terror.

"Watch and see as I take away everything which you guys took from me, slowly and one after the other"

At once, she cast a spell at Ian, "Omne quod dici non ad te pertinet, corpus, animam, alii perficiendum"

Ian screamed as his body began to desiccate starting from his legs to his hands and head until all that remained was a clothed skeleton that slid to the floor.

A bright light escaped his body which Her ladyship captured with her hand, walked to the male beside her, tilted his hand backward, and dropped the light down his throat.

Almost immediately, the male groaned, screamed, his legs gave out and he buckled to the floor until the pain died out. The next he stood up, Ian stood before them.

Selena whimpered, there was no doubt she was the next victim. She tried to speak, plead for mercy and beg her to forgive them for what they did to her but she couldn't say a word.

"Goodbye, Selena"

"No!" Selena screamed internally but it was too late.

"Omne quod dici non ad te pertinet, corpus, animam, alii perficiendum "

Just like Ian, she too underwent the same process, her skeleton the only evidence of the life she once lived.

Her ladyship captured the light that left Selena's body too and fed it to the other girl who went through the same pain before a brand new Selena stood erect.

"You both now have their body, soul, intellect, power, everything! Live the life they once were living and wait patiently for the war cry "

"Yes, your ladyship" Both bowed.

Her ladyship turned to the skeleton with no ounce of emotion, whispering" Adios"

Abruptly, both skeletons disintegrated into a pool of dust on the floor respectively. A small vortex formed out of her hand was sent out to lift and move the pile from the floor, cocooning them into a container her ladyship held out, closing the lid at once.

She had destroyed the evidence of what had transpired in here, there was no room for mistakes. The other Head wouldn't sense anything that occurred because their light was still blinking- in the body of her people now.

"We're done…." She was still saying when a cough attacked her. Her ladyship cupped her mouth with her palm and withdrew it eventually only to catch the blood in her hand.

"My body's dying" she disclosed.

"We need the queen"
