sculpted face and body. The only difference was he looked a few years older. He was panting, his eyes wide with madness.
He pointed a trembling finger at her and shouted, looking at Merlin, “Get out of here now or she will kill you!”
Chapter Eight
Jacob was mad.
That’s all Merlin could think was the reason for his brother’s odd, erratic behavior. His raging eyes and how he fought to catch his breath told Merlin that Jacob had been running frantically. What had happened to him that he behaved like this? And why did he say Pondora was going to kill him?
He looked at Pondora, who now in modesty hid her naked body behind Merlin. Her eyes were wide with fear and bafflement. She was obviously not expecting this and felt threatened.
Merlin touched his lips and still felt the warmth of her pussy and her lips on his. He could still taste her. And now that he had that pleasure, he wanted so much more. Not only did he yearn to fuck her, sink his cock deep into her pussy and ass, but he wanted to get closer to her on a spiritual and emotional level. He couldn’t explain it, but deep in his heart something awoke when he first laid eyes on her. It was as if he had been enchanted. Something or someone was driving him to her, and he couldn’t stop himself.
A worried thought that maybe Pondora herself was causing this in him resurfaced. Maybe Jacob could shed a light on this.
Looking back at his brother, Merlin asked, “Why do you say that, Jacob?”
Jacob moved into the room, never breaking his fixed stare in Pondora’s direction. “Because of what I saw and heard through the spying glass.”
She peeked her pretty little head from behind Merlin’s shoulder. “A spying glass?”
Merlin used his foot to push a bag out from behind him. “You’ll find a clean tunic in there, my lady.”
He heard her rummage in it and then the sound of the clothing slipping over her. When she had finished tying the tunic at her waste with a rope, he turned around and said, “If you’ll excuse us, my lady, but I need to talk to Jacob for a moment outside.”
Pondora raised her hand in protest. “Not until you tell me who this Jacob is and why he has a looking glass.”
Merlin walked over to the door and motioned to Jacob he follow him out. “I’m sorry, my lady, but I cannot.”
He opened the door and waited until his brother followed him and then shut and locked the heavy door behind him. Crossing his arms, he whispered, “What the devil was that all about?”

Velona pushed the bag aside. Although she was famished, having not eaten for almost a day, she needed to know what they were talking about. Perhaps she could eavesdrop and figure out who this Jacob was and why he used a spying glass. There was only one spell she knew of to create a spying glass, and only a sorcerer born in magic could use it to see the future, the past, or a faraway present. Jacob was obviously a sorcerer. Now the question that baffled Velona was, why did Serona need another sorcerer? For as long as Velona knew Serona, she never took another sorcerer under her wings aside from Velona, her sister. Serona had trust issues and never let her guard down to anyone, let alone another sorcerer who could steal her spells and even her powers. And why was Jacob using a spy glass on her?
She sneaked to the door on tiptoes and placed her ear to it, holding her breath. Unfortunately, all she could hear were mumbled voices. Merlin was apparently doing the talking. His voice was low and calm.
Then she heard Jacob speak. Contrary to Merlin, he sounded as agitated as when he barged into the tower. His voice was louder, and she could make out words like “a demon with yellow eyes” and that it said in a female voice, “ Dìoghaltas .”
The blood suddenly drained from Velona’s head down her body to her legs, making them weigh like anchors keeping her trapped. Dizziness enveloped her as she began to arrange the pieces of the puzzle.
She
