THE BLOOD MOON CULT

Emily POV

We arrived at the temple gates, and a shadow tried to attack us. What happened before then surprised me. I held, and I felt this course of energy flow inside my bloodstream, and it changed from deep night black to grey. The shadow bowed down before it dissipated into the air.

Before we could even go inside the temple we were surrounded by these mysterious creatures or people but when Lucien heard the woman’s voice his hand which was holding me flinched. He was nearly crushing my bones with his grip.

“Priestess Azara! What are you doing here? Didn’t we destroy you a long time ago? Well, I would be even happier to kill you over and over” he said looking at the woman who had stepped outside the shadows now being illuminated by the moonlight.

She wore a black cloak and her subordinates were covering their faces. She had the most terrifying face I have ever come across. She had black hair and her face was adorned with jewels and it was tatooed.

“Lucien Valois we meet again .You see I have you to thank for all of this” she said displaying her magic by throwing Kiran with a gust of wind inside the temple.

“You see, you just made me get more power the time you killed me. Thank you for that Lucien” she said and I saw her look in my direction. Just her stare made my stomach knot and that weerly smile was getting me goosebumps.

Seeing that she was looking at me Lucien stood in front of me blocking her line of sight.

“Wow, what a wonderful surprise. You have found the Destiny child. The name is Emily right?”, she asked and broke into an evil chuckle, “Well the Destiny child is the end of all worlds so it either you willingly join my cult and I promise you that I will give you the power you need besides these creatures are always trying to kill our kind” she said and looked at me.

“Am not going anywhere with you and we are not the same” I retorted whilst holding tightly onto Lucien.

“Stubborn, I like it. Well, the options are clear either you willingly join my cult or you are sacrificed when the blood moon rises since the Destiny child is already chaos in this world” She smirked and looked at Tharros.

“Oh, your majesty I did not recognise you.What made the estimed Dragon King come out of his hiding mountains.Was it this Destiny child, well this aint your fight so I hope you will choose wisely since you are the ‘So called wise’.You better bring those hideous wings of yours and fly back to your hiding place in the mountains” she said .

“Azara you still are full of yourself as always. But don’t forget that light always overrules darkness” he retorted back not giving in to her commands.

“Then you seem determined to fight today. I also want to see what skills this old dragon has” she said and looked at us once again.

“Go inside and bring me the Moon Armulet” she commanded to one terrifying subordinate of hers who went inside the temple.

We heard a fight inside the temple and finally, Kiran was thrown out of it. One thing was sure trying to fight this group head-on was not the best thing, we had to escape as soon as we could.

“Oh I forgot one more thing we are stronger than we have been before so I hope you will value those bones of yours because we might break all of them” she laughed.

Tharros then reached for his pockets brought out a small bottle and smashed out on the ground and the whole place was filled with dark smoke. We took advantage of the smoke and tried to escape but we were long surrounded.

The cult had set several traps in the way one of them being a strong barrier surrounding the temple. We ran towards the temple.

“Find them and don’t kill the girl she is mine” I heard the evil priestess call out behind us.

I watched as Tharros and Lucien fought some of the members of the evil priestess cult. Blood was being spilled and the scene was gruesome. I have been afraid of watching blood and this scene made me sick and I felt myself losing control of myself.

The moon was now shining on top of me and I started feeling energy flowing inside me and every member whoever tried to come and capture me, they were hit by a boltof white light and turned into dust.

“Wow that is great power I say you have their destiny child,” the evil Priestess said and started chanting this spell which was making my head ache.

The moment she was chanting I felt the whole place I was standing turning around and I was dizzy and I passed out.

What I remember happened was that Azara said “The Blood Moon will rise, and the child of the moon will be destroyed….
