The Omega Mated To The Four

Chapter 73 Four Chapter Seventy Three-1 The next day, Eira summoned us to the training hall once again. Her expression was sharp, her eyes scanning each of us as if gauging our resolve. Something about her demeanor seton edge Whatever she had planned for us today, it wasn't going to be easy.

"As you saw in yesterday's illusion," she began, "the Children of the Eclipse are formidable. They are relentless, cunning, and brutal. If you are to face them, you must understand them-not just their powers, but their strategies, their history. And that requires seeing their battles firsthand." Her words sent a ripple of confusion through the group. Alex was the first to speak up, his brow furrowed. "Seeing their battles? What do you mean by that?" Eira's lips curved into a faint, enigmatic smile. "You're about to find out." She raised her wand, and before any of us could protest, she waved it in a smooth arc.

The air around us shimmered, and a dizzying force pulled at my senses. The ground beneath my feet seemed to vanish, replaced by a swirling void of light and shadow. My stomach lurched, and when the world finally steadied, we were no longer in the training hall.

We stood in the middle of a "fiel The air was thick with the metallic tang of blood.

"What... where are we?" I whispered as we stood in a clear field.

Eira's voice echoed faintly around us, though her form was nowhere to be seen. "These are memories imprinted in the fabric of time. You are witnessing battles fought between witches and the Children of the Eclipse. Watch closely. Learn from their victories and their failures." Before we could fully process her words, the battlefield around us calive with movement. A group of witches emerged from the shadows, their faces grim and determined. They were clad in robes of red, their hands glowing with the pulsing light of active spells, In the center of their formation stood a leader-a tall woman with black hair and eyes that seemed to pierce the darkness.

The witches didn't have long to prepare. From the treeline emerged figures draped in black, their eyes gleaming like molten gold. With their faces covered in human and animal skulls. The Children of the Eclipse. Their movements were fluid and predatory, their bodies almost seeming to melt into the shadows before reappearing closer to their prey.

The battle began without warning. The witches unleashed a volley of elemental spells-blazing fireballs, shards of ice, and streaks of crackling lightning. The Children countered with equal ferocity, their shadowy tendrils deflecting the attacks with unsettling ease. One of them darted forward, moving faster than the eye could follow, and struck a witch with a blade of pure shadow. The witch fell, her cry of pain cutting through the chaos. Sof them began transforming into umbrakins cutting through the witches and ripping them apart.

They "Look at their tactics," Elijah murmured, his eyes narrowing. "They don't just fight- they hunt. They're trying to isolate the witches one by one." He was right. The Children of the Eclipse moved like a pack of wolves, splitting the witches apart and overwhelming them with swift, coordinated attacks. But the witches weren't helpless. The black-haired leader raised her staff, and a blinding light burst forth, forcing the Children to recoil.

"That's their weakness," Isaiah said, his voice calm but urgent. "They can't stand pure, concentrated light. Moonlight." The witches seized the opportunity to regroup, forming a tight circle Their magic intertwined, creating a radiant shield that repelled the shadowy figures. For a moment, it seemed as though they had the upper hand. But then, from the darkness, a towering figure emerged.

It was a woman-or something resembling one. Her eyes burned with golden fire, and her presence seemed to suck the very warmth 1/2 Chapter Seventy Three-1 from the air. She raised a hand and the shield the witches had created shattered like glass. Within a second the woman was in front of the black-haired lady her clawed hand digging into the woman's neck. The black-haired leader barely had tto react before she struck her down, ripping her head off.

The scene froze, the devastation hanging in the air like a palpable weight. Eira's voice echoed once more. "This is the power of the Children of the Eclipse. They are not to be underestimated. They thrive on division and fear. But unity can defeat them, as you will see."

Rows of pillars stretched toward the vaulted ceiling, where a massive moon-shaped chandelier bathed the room in soft light. At one end of the hall stood a group of witches and warriors, their faces set with grim determination. On the other, a veritable army of the Children of the Eclipse.

This battle was larger and more chaotic. The air crackled with the energy of clashing spells and weapons. Warriors charged into the fray, their swords glowing with enchantments, while witches hurled torrents of fire and ice. The Children met them head-on, their shadowy forms twisting and contorting as they fought with unnatural speed and strength.

"Watch the witches," Eira's voice instructed. "They are not fighting as individuals- they are fighting as one." Indeed, the witches moved in perfect harmony. Their spells flowed seamlessly into one another, creating devastating combinations. A burst of fire would force the Children into a concentrated area, where a volley of ice shards would rain down upon them. Lightning arced from one warrior's blade to another, chaining through the enemy ranks with lethal precision.

"That's it," Elijah said, his voice filled with admiration. "They're using their bond to amplify their power." Despite their coordination, the Children were relentless. A woman clad in black and gold stepped forward, her presence exuding authority. She raised her hands, and the shadows around her seemed to calive, forming monstrous shapes that surged toward the witches.

The witches countered with a desperate spell, their voices rising in unison. A beam of pure moonlight descended from the chandelier above, incinerating the shadow creatures and forcing the Children to retreat. But the effort left the witches visibly drained, their strength waning as the battle raged on.

The vision ended abruptly, leaving us standing once more in the training hall. The silence was deafening, the weight of what we had witnessed pressing down on us.

Eira stepped forward, her expression uncharacteristically serious. "You've seen what you're up against. The Children of the Eclipse are powerful, but they are not invincible. Unity is their greatest weakness, and your bond is your greatest strength. Remember that After our lesson, we went straight to the dining hall. After dinner, I gave each of my mates their usual goodnight kisses. It had beca routine, and though I pretended to roll my eyes, I secretly didn't mind. Instead, I looked forward to at the end of each long day.

Once I was alone, I showered and changed into my pajamas-a pair of comfortable shorts and a matching spaghetti-strap tank top. I had just settled onto my bed when there was a knock at my door.

Curious, I opened it to find Austin and Alex standing there, grinning like mischievous children.

Austin's eyes immediately swept over me, and he let out a low whistle. "Well, don't you look cozy?" I crossed my arms, trying not to blush. "What are you two doing here?" Alex leaned casually against the doorframe. "We cfor round two of goodnight kisses." I narrowed my eyes and started to close the door, but Aystin held up a hand. "Wait, wait. We actually wanted to show you something." I hesitated, curiosity winning over. "Fine. But this better not be sprank." They ledthrough the hallways of the castle, their footsteps echoing softly in the quiet. To my surprise, they didn't head toward the usual library but instead took a detour down a narrow, dimly lit passage..

"Where are we going?" I asked, eyeing the walls lined with ancient carvings.

1/2 Chapter Seventy Three-2 "You'll see," Austin said with a grin. "It's worth it, I promise." Finally, we reached a hidden chamber. Alex pressed against a stone panel, and a section of the wall slid open, revealing a smaller, older library. Dusty shelves lined the walls, filled with books and scrolls that looked like they hadn't been touched in centuries.

"What is this place?" I asked, stepping inside and running my fingers along the spines of the books.

"This," Austin said, gesturing grandly, "is the original library. The one thel witches used before they built the En new one. We heard about it from one of the witches here." I raised an eyebrow. "You've been chatting with the witches?" Austin smirked. "Why? Jealous?" "Of course not," I lied, quickly turning away to hide my expression.

Alex stepped forward, holding out a leather-bound book. "We thought you'd like it.

You were always reading about your bloodline back at the school library, so we figured you'd appreciate these records. They're full of ancient accounts about your ancestors and other historical stuff." I was touched by their thoughtfulness. "You guys... you paid attention to that?" "Of course we did," Austin said with a shrug. "We always pay attention to you."

For a moment, I didn't know what to I say. Instead, I took the book from at Alex and opened it, scanning the yellowed pages. The text was written in an elegant script, and as I read, I felt a chill run down my spine.

These records didn't just talk about my bloodline. They also revealed the origin of the Children of the Eclipse, hinting at a traitor among the High Witches of the past. My heart pounded as I read the cryptic passages, piecing together fragments of the story.

"This is incredible," I whispered. "Thank you." Austin and Alex exchanged a glance, clearly pleased with my reaction. "We knew you'd like it," Alex said.

We spent the next hour combing through the records, uncovering more about the history of the Children of the Eclipse and their connection to the High Witches.
