Thirty Three
I woke up to absolutely blackness. I felt weak, still chained. I was sweating and I felt pain all over my body. That was a whole bulk of my memory I have regained in my dream. It's a dream but I now remember vividly how it happened. I did not appear here chained for nothing. I was brought here by the leader of the gang of three I fought with. Wow, I fought hard but he got me with that handkerchief and now I'm here chained in their territory. Now I know how I got here but why did I have to forget for so long. I looked around the room, it was dark but but I could sense that something was not right about this new day. I tried to remember the last place I was. I was training and had to fight a beast. Where's Luna? I was content when she whined beneath my dress. I knew something bad was going to happen today cause my dream bringing back my memory must imply something. Will I be executed today? Huh maybe, those that kept me here w

When they opened the oak door, I was stunned. The room was enormous. Shaped in a huge circle, it was lined with hundred-foot-tall stone columns, ornately decorated. It was well lit, torches placed every 5 feet, all throughout the room. It looked like the Pantheon. It looked ancient.As I was led in, the next thing I noticed was the noise. It was a huge crowd. I looked around and saw hundreds, if not thousands, of men and women dressed in black, moving quickly all about the room. There was a strangeness to how they moved: it was so fast, so random, so…inhuman. Demons really exist. I took it all in and was completely, uttterly, shocked. Demons did exist. Am I one of them? I pray not. They led me to the center of the room, chains rattling, my bare feet cold on the stone. I was led to a spot in the center of the floor, designated by a large, tile circle. As I reached the center,

The water covered my entire body, making it hard to breathe, or open my eyes. After about ten seconds, though, after my entire hair and body and clothes were completely drenched, I blinked my eyes, getting prepared for the pain to come. But it didn’t come.I blinked, then looked up at the cauldron, wondering if it were completely empty. It was. I looked back down at myself, and saw I was drenched. But I was completely fine. Not an ounce of pain. Roger, suddenly realizing, stood in his chair, jaw dropping. He was clearly shocked. Abraim, too, turned and looked, his mouth open. The entire assembly, thousands of demons, all stood, and a gasps spread through the room. I could see that this was not the reaction they had been expecting. They were all dumbfounded. I also. What could have gone wrong?Somehow, their water had

Four hefty men came over and began to carry me. My once still world began to move. I felt like I was floating — floating to my death. I knew I was going to die, I could see the lake from afar and I could feel it's heat, hot enough to melt the flesh. I could hear my comforter's voice in my head“ fear and you die!”I don't know what to think but I know I'm more than scared.Yeah, I'm going to die now and all my purpose will be wasted, burnt away in that fire. My gifts, powers, those harsh training sessions from my comforter would be wasted. 'Everything' I have ever lived for will be made to nothing but ashes.There's really nothing I can do to save them. I thought of A

Julian stormed into the room. He was angry and sad at the same time. Angry at himself for not being able to do anything to save Katrienair. The sight of Katrienair being immersed in the holy water without being burned still surprises him and in some way, he's believed that she had the power to deal with this herself: that gave him a bit of hope but the feeling of responsibility still taunted his conscience. He carefully locked the doors of his chamber and walked into Emiliar's room. She was sitting at a corner of the room, weaving a woolen cloth. Tears were visible on her face and she seemed lost in her own thoughts. Julian felt pity for her, he craved to know what exactly was going on in her little mind. He sat on the iron cushion for a while staring at her, in some way he enjoyed the silence, the serene atmosphere. Emiliar noticed a silhouette of a person in her room, at first she was gripped with fear, she's been caught. But on a second thought she be

I woke up with sharp pains on every joint in my body. My blurred vision could discern that I was in a cage -- a small cage. I wasn't chained but my bones were too weak to lift me up. I summoned all the strength in me to sit up, to take a better look at my new home (a good home cause I don't know how long I'll be here). It was a small dark room, a ray of light peeked through a crack in the wall, that helped me see. I stretched a bit and licked my dry lip, the salty taste of my own blood filled my mouth. Wow, things have really gone out of hand and I've probably started a fight i can't finish. Yuck! What a disaster. I can't continue to fight these people— they're way too powerful and i'm alone except for...oh! Luna! I looked around. Where's Luna?! "Luna!" I screamed, my dry throat ached. " Luna!" I stood up.

The next morning Julian was surmmoned before the council. He has a big case in his hands now. Talking back at the leader in that manner in the presence of the whole assembly. What could have justified that act? He has disgraced the royal family and he will have to pay dearly for it. Well, Julian had other plans.

Imagine being in the situation where you know what to do but you can't do it because you're scared of what the consequences may be. I should ask for a negotiation straight up but..."You do not fight a war with war and you do not fight a demon with it's weapon, else you become the demon yourself." Sylvia once told me. In her own view, She became the demon herself when she allowed her mother die instead of her. She could have just saved them both but she paid hatred with hatred. Just like staring too long into the abyss and the abyss staring back at you.Hmm, i've got to be wise. Negotiation, it is. Let's hear what they have to say."Negotiation, what is it about?"
