Beneath The Blood Sea
“I beg you to reconsider, Your Grace,” Hannah said as she followed Susan into the living room. “Beneath the blood sea is a different world. But for your sake, I hope the sea doesn’t let you through.”
Susan paused her footsteps to look at Hannah. “I don’t know if I was born, Hannah, but I grew up beneath the blood sea, so I know what to expect.”The Chief priest walked into the living room. “She is correct, Susan. The blood sea may not let you through, so use the trap of Eleanor.”Susan gave a single nod.Dena came up from behind Susan who turned to look at her.“Be careful,” Dena said. “I may be getting to like you, but I’m very much frightened of your mother.”Susan played a small smile on her face. “You’re still my prisoner. Till your father finds a solution for me.”Dena returned her smile. “Well at least, it’s safer being withRelated chapters
The Consuming Heart The Northeast Mountain
It was drafty on the peak of the northeast mountain which was almost on a level with the clouds, and it was here Susan chose to have a better view of the northeast side. She saw the smoking huts, and tents, the playing children, the gatherings of adults around fires and the staked meat they kept turning and she wondered, what brought these savages here.They were in rag clothing, their feet bare, and their idols scattered all around the place. Some prayed to their idols, some poured blood on them, some tried to feed them, Susan laughed.“Ignorant they are,” Susan said, “wouldn’t you agree, sister?”Vivian materialized next to Susan. “Chadwick is gathering his war party,” she said. “And I hope we’ve not come to play scouts?” She looked at Susan.“Oh, you’re going to love this.” Susan smiled. “Lightning, whirlwind, and fire.”Vivian lifted her gaze to the changing clouds, it darkened, bolts of lightning struck every part of the camp, a whirlwind began and took people of
The Consuming Heart When Blood Trickles
“Scatter round, and find them,” Janice said to a group of ladies in red robes before her in a graveyard.Tombs were quiet, their headstones watched resolutely. Janice pointed to the earth, the ground parted to give way to the bones of the dead, and in no time, skeletons and spirits were in attendance.Janice nodded. “If you see Susan, flee, or better still, keep your distance till I arrive. Dead or alive, you do not stand a chance against her. I repeat, do not engage her, for she is dangerous, and may not spare you.”“Sound advice,” Susan’s voice echoed.All the ladies in red gowns swooned to the ground, skeletons shattered to pieces, and spirits returned to their resting place.Janice turned to face her sister, Susan, with a bland expression written all over her face. “Where is Vivian?”“You’ll have to go through me to find out,” Susan said.“Mother instructs me to retur
The Consuming Heart Enter Eleanor
“I’ve not had the urge to kill in days,” Susan said to Dena and Hannah who were in her room. She was before a mirror, looking at her reflection which then split into two separate forms and likeness of herself without her body doing the same.“Does it bother you?” Hannah asked.“Absolutely.” Susan watched as both reflections of herself became one. “It does bother me.”“How did you get out?”Susan backed the mirror to face Hannah. “I was this close,” she brought her thumb and index finger close to almost touching each other, “to using the Trap of Eleanor. This close. But Vivian advised against it. She said never to use the might of great powers who once lived, and that those powers do have a way of returning through their might. It was a candid warning, one I did take heed to, and if not for the invincibility I was feeling, I would have used it. I just didn’t trust the atmosph
The Consuming Heart More Fears To Come
Susan nodded. “So, you tend to take the likeness of the first being you see?”Eleanor changed into a young, beautiful white-haired lady. “I tend to take on any form I so choose to.” She came towards Susan. “So, unlike you who can split yourself into too many forms, and make people forget, I guess, this is a charmer.” She paused right before her. “You don’t seem afraid.”“I know my enemy.”Eleanor laughed. “You barely know me and you tag me to be your enemy.” She shook her head and walked past Susan.Susan didn’t turn. “I know you well enough to know to fear you.”Eleanor turned to look at her. “But that’s the thing, young Susan. You don’t seem afraid.”“No, I don’t.”“And why is that?”Susan looked over her shoulder. “You are a terror to everything I stand for.” She looked forward. &l
The Consuming Heart Never Far Away
Susan’s sharp nails dug into the throat of a man, she left a deep gash there, and released her fingers, the man crumbled to the floor, she looked at the crowd of Chadwick’s followers before her, and smiled.“It’s an honour,” Susan said, and stopped smiling, everyone’s head rolled off their necks and bounced to the floor, their bodies fell with resounding thuds, she turned and walked out of the building.“Fire,” she said.The entire building became an inferno.And so the crisis began. Susan brought war to Chadwick’s followers, haunting them with ease, and killing as much as a hundred thousand every day before she thought to put an end to her unrest. It was blood she was in demand of. It was her sole reason to seek these people.She hoped they never learn, for she didn’t want to kill the innocent. Chadwick was the real challenge here. But then, there was the Red Haux Eleanor had warned her about. That
The Consuming Heart Here Comes The Wind
“Doesn’t it feel so odd to be returning to work so soon?” Beatrice asked Susan in the living room.“I don’t think it’s odd at all,” Susan, who was sitting down on one of the sofas scanning a newspaper, said. “I think it’s entirely understandable that you love your job.”Dena walked into the dining room with a tray.“Here’s your tea,” Dena said, and set the tray on the table.“Yeah,” Beatrice said to Susan. “Until the job gets me killed.” She walked towards the dining. “Thank you, Dena. You’re far too kind, and a darling at heart.”Dena smiled.“Never you say that,” Susan said, looking at Beatrice. “Your job shouldn’t kill you. You’re doing it from passion. So, it should in a way make you live longer.”Jake walked into the dining room. “Good morning, everyone. Wow, this house is so big, I d
The Consuming Heart The Three Winds
The eyes of the night could behold the mist, but no other eyes could see it. There were three sisters apart from the mist, and in the middle of the street, they took a stroll in the halt of time, and with everything in suspense. The darkness was around them, the chill that came with ghosts lingered in the unmoving air, and in this state, they couldn’t breathe, but could outlive everyone here.“We should do this more often,” Janice said, looking at her sisters like one would for approval.Vivian was thrilled by the night, and the feel of darkness around her that once she smiled, time unfroze, and the humans whose lives were bound to time began to move about their daily lives. “That was fun.”“You think Chadwick has attained this state, the ability to move in the halt of time?” Susan asked.“I think so,” Vivian said with a grin. “Janice would know.”Susan looked at Janice. “Care to say?&rd
The Consuming Heart Friend's With Death
Power for Susan was now so sacred that each time she tried to resist it, so would it overwhelm her. Thanks to the likes of Janice and Vivian whose presence alone caused her to behave, for if it were left to Hannah and Dena who were no match for her, she would have destroyed Beatrice and Jake in an instance.With each passing day, Susan felt her power growing, and found herself listening to Eleanor a lot.“Why do I sense that to you, I am merely a means to an end?” Susan said one day Eleanor appeared to her.Susan sat with a propped-up knee on her bed, while Eleanor slowly paced before her.“I—” Eleanor tried to speak.“Don’t lie to me,” Susan said. “I’ll probably know.”“Of course you would, and I am your prisoner,” Eleanor said.“Which gives you more right to say anything for me to trust you, hence, release you, then you’ll have your way.”Eleanor
