Power Of Blood: Darkness Never Leaves 68 Treasure Room Part 2

Ashwin rushed and held her hand to help her stand up. He then looked at the older man, "Brother Danish, what happened?"

Danish shrugged his shoulders to gesture he didn't know. They trio then bent down to look at the floor but couldn't see anything. It was dark. Ashwin went back and pulled one of the torches out and handed it to Danish. They saw a dark liquid lining the entrance. Visha touched it and brought her hand closer to the torch for a better look. Visha and Danish gasped as they saw the red stain on her fingers. It was blood! Danish looked up to face the others, "It's blood." Shaurya knitted his brows as he tried to think of an explanation. No one had been here since the stone was stolen, so was it from before that then? But how could it not have dried up at all? Does it mean it was fresh?

"Has there been someone down here after the stone was taken?" Shaurya asked the stunned disciple.

He shook his head as he stared at Visha's blood stained fingers just like everyone else. The priesthood was a very tranquil place and the disciples had been sheltered ever since they were young. They hardly ever saw any blood.

"Could someone have sneaked in?" Ashwin asked suddenly. Shaurya thought carefully for a while before speaking, "Even if someone had sneaked in, why would the blood be lining the entrance. This is obviously intentional. Could there be a spell?"

This made everyone look at the line made from blood at the entrance. But who could tell if there had been a spell performed?

"Could a tracing spell work?" Visha asked. She had been quiet after her scream that had echoed in the entire underground treasure room. Trisha scoffed at her in ridicule. This newbie thinks she's so smart, but she's just plain stupid.

"Are you really this stupid or do you just act like it? Tracing spells are not used to find out existence of spells. Only high cla.s.s Aura reading spells are capable of also tracing remnants of magic. You're just a newbie who doesn't know anything. Let your seniors work and you can just think of this as a school trip." Trisha's voice was laced with venom as she lashed out on Visha. This made Danish furious and he gave her a warning look. At that Trisha finally shut up and shook her head in fear. Even if she was a blabbermouth, she wouldn't dare offend Danish. In his eyes, Trisha was the last person who could ridicule Visha. She had no right to hate Visha for being in the team because she was close to their Miss. Trisha herself was in this team only because she was a doted second daughter of a generational witch family and not even a first born. If it wasn't for the influence her family had, she was not even capable of serving this elite team as an attendant. That was the only reason everyone held back from teaching her a lesson even after she made this once top elite team fall to the third place. If it wasn't for Shaurya, Ashwin and him holding the fort, they might've fallen way further. Another scoff echoed in the room as Visha stood up and looked back at Trisha with a taunting smile. Her eyes were filled with ridicule as she looked at Trisha from top to bottom as if inspecting her.

"I can clearly see who is treating this as a school trip. If you don't know anything then you shouldn't cut in." Trisha grit her teeth as her body started to shake in anger. She was the highly respected Young Miss of the Wahera family. She was doted on by her family and feared by others. No one had ever spoken back to her. And this little wench had called her an amateur witch who was treating her mission like a school trip! How dare she? Just wait till her elder brother knew about it, he will skin this big mouthed b.i.t.c.h alive!

Visha ignored the murderous intent in her eyes and turned to face Shaurya. He was the leader and he held the rights to approve or disapprove suggestions.

"Tracing Spell could trace the blood back to its owner."

A smile appeared on Shaurya's face as he nodded at Visha. It was a good idea, everyone was racking their brains to find out the reason for tye blood or wich spell was performed, and overlooked something simple but crucial. They had a lead! Visha really thought upon facts and not a.s.sumptions maybe that's why she didn't miss the basic thing that everyone else overlooked.
