2020-11-25 04:19:07Millions of things I could do, ran through my mind, but none of it seemed possible. I could call on the power of the dragon stone, but it didn't seem to work. I could run back towards the beast, and fight again, but it would kill me in the blink of an eye. I could also stay low in the corner there, but then again, I would still die.
"Come out you foolish girl!" My breathing for some reason, increased and started beating faster like I had just ran a million miles. Then I saw it. The ring that was covered in blackish blood still lying on the floor in the middle of the room, then I glanced up at his head and I still saw the glow that appeared on his head. My eyes returned back to the ring on the floor again and I instantly knew what I had to do. How could I had been that foolish?
"You are so dumb right now, wait, what do they call you?" Distraction. He needed to be distracted, since pride was something I'd noticed he couldn't deal with proper

"Your majesty. It's time to visit the castle." After some hours of silence, it finally spoke. Maybe because I'd threatened before about loosing it's life. But wasn't the spirit already dead?"I know. Thank you." I remembered how it mentioned earlier about not remembering it's name. A name was needed because after all, what would we be without our names? "How about I call you... Fortem. It means brave in Latin." I didn't even know how I knew that word, it just popped up to my head."Seriously? I love it.""You're welcome, Fortem." Do spirits smile or cry? I guess we'll never know."Are you sure you are ready to finally meet Lilith?""To be honest? I really am. I'm scared of course, but, I've been through enough not to be able to." I thought about all the little battles I'd encountered. The only reason I'd defeated them all was... It was merely by luck. Good luck on my side. Otherwise, I knew I w

We continued in silence again through the umber-brown, ancient forest, reeking nothing but age. Its woody incense was from centuries of snapping branches crashing to the forest’s floor and rottingsilently. Every sprawling tree we passed under reminded me of a watchful guardian, a silent sentinel of the groves. Venturing deeper into the tangled heart of this primeval forest, raised my hopes that it would reveal its dark secrets to us. We would find Lilith, slay the devil, and everything would be back to normal. But I wondered, every since my life had been opened to darkness, what would ever become normal to me again? The only thing that brought a tip of light to my dark soul, was the thought of me finding my sister. Once I did, what then would happen?"Stop!" The voice of Fortem rubbed me off from my thinking, and I stopped."What is it?""I don't know, but I know that we are not alone. We're being-"

"Very well then. You will get to reflect on your choices well enough in the future."The tone in her voice alerted nothing but one sense. Danger. I had endangered the lives of others because of my foolish pride. I could have walked away politely, and save others. Tara. But leaving the devil to reign did not fully assure me that my family and friends would be saved."This is your last chance Kerik." She added, then paused. Waiting for me to fully accept to the proposal. My mind raced over a million things. What if I choose this option, and defeating the devil seems more impossible than I'd expect. Then I would never forgive myself. If only I could get more time, more days to puzzle over the prodigious decision. But even if I was opportune to that kind of indulgence, I feared my answer would still remain constant."Yes. That's what I choose. This is what feels best to me, so I've made up my mind." Her head lowered into a slow s

When my eyes opened again, I found myself at the gates of Talot. Just where I'd set off for my quest. The sound of a horse's neigh, nickered behind me, and I turned to observe my companion behind me. If I could have understood horses language, I would have heard something like; "hey your Highness! We're back. Alive!"Or something close to that."Dieeee!!!" A voice drawled from behind, and I almost laughed at the poor threat of commanding me to die, but changed my mind on the sight of the image. It's sickly white eyes were the first thing I observed. Then the disgusting snake things that crawled out from the head, and the blued chapped lips; I recognized it immediately. The septics."Stay back!" I yelled at it as it crawled forward, thinking it would just turn and leave. But of course these things were smarter than the looked.For real!The snaky creatures that once slightly appear

"So what are we going to do?" Mona asked after subduing Lily from mumbling curses under her breath. It was really unlike Lily to behave the way she'd been doing; first calling the devil a mad man, then the cursing? Lily wasn't always like that. "Oh, and if you're wondering what is wrong with her, she's high." She highlighted, like she was reading my mind that moment."I am not high." Lily drawled and even though I couldn't see her, since the whole room was dark, I imagined her staggering as she talked."Of course, you're drunk then." I heard Mona and Lily argue from afar but quickly interrupted their little argument. "I met her. Lilith.""Oh wow, that is so-"Thud!We stopped on a three second break after hearing the sound of something heavy, hit the ground and creating a dull thump, then continued again as Mona assured me it was just Lily that fainted."But I don

"Looks like we have company." Mona pointed out, even though we'd already gotten the hint. They were already here, and we still had absolutely no idea how we were supposed to escape for our dear lives."It issss almost time you preciousssss little girlssss." The voice behind the dark, hissed and stressed on each words that ended with an 's' like he was some sort of serpentine creature. "The masssster is almost done, and once he is done with you all, he will be done." He took in a weak breath so it sounded like he was about to collapsed. One second, he was rattling on like a bloody barbarian and then the next minute, he was yelling like a loosed mad man. "HE WILL BE DONE WITH YOU ALL!" His insane behavior sent a panic distraction that caused Mona and Lily's voice to tremble as they lowly begged for mercy under their breaths. Maybe it was because of the absurd tension in the air, of just for no reason at all, I felt my blood boiled up to one hundred degrees,

"Exactly, how do we get out now Kerik?" Mona asked. "You said we had it under control." She continued, reminding me of the escape I'd promised them."Yes. Of course." I prepared to start explaining all the crazy plans that I'd thought up earlier, hoping I was right about the idea, until I became rudely interrupted by a loud but quick force on the gates and the next thing I knew, I was already outside the gates. Mona and Lily behind me."Whoa! What just happened?" Mona asked. I saw them again after so long. Both wearing a long black dresses like it was a funeral night, with green big beads round their necks. Lily rushed forward to me and squeezed her arms tight round me. "I've missed you." She whispered in my ears and it wasn't until then before I wrapped my hands around her to hug her. She let go of me, letting Mona advanced forward too to take turn into squeezing me also. As if that wasn't enough, Lily forced herself on Mona again, still

Just as if my instinct spoke, I found myself in the sight of him. Fortem wasn't with me, so I wondered how I could even still manage to magically transport myself. But all that didn't mattered. I was there with him already. I only hoped Mona and Lily made it safely. I figured he didn't know I was already behind him, because he seemed to be too busy with whatever mischievous he was doing and his back faced me, but as soon as I still continued with my doubting, his cold face turned to me and my heart stopped for a minute. "Hello again," and with that, I found myself fly through thin air with my back suddenly crashing into what later seemed to be a barrel, ripping it to pieces just as my whole body had been torn apart. My head hit something really hard and sent an excruciating, torturous pain to my whole body. Before I even got the time to begin calculating how it had happen, I saw another big barrel travelling towards my side and without further reasoning, my brain dived my

Tell me if a person falls apart alone in the dark,does it make any sound? And let's say it does,is it as loud and devastating as a decaying broken heart when it's finally found? Or is the sound a soft strangulation hidden that we all miss the time behind words like 'I'm fine'?Nila had mention earlier that Tara's necklace just fell on the floor and she didn't wanted to return it yet because she was afraid of how I'd react."I found it, and I knew I should have rightfully returned it but..

"Kerik you're not expecting anyone, are you?" Tara finally asked, making use of her words and immediately walking straight to the door."I know I'm a lot of things, but I don't keep insane humans as friends."Following Tara to the door I thought about who must have been desperately trying to break down our door.Tara slowly reached for the door and opened it gently. Standing grumpily in front of us was a burly figured bald man. Glancing at him, I quickly observed an ornamented sewing of a black serpent on his chainmail amour. A knight you might say, but no ordinary one. He was a member of the keepers. The bald Knights. Even the women always were too. It was believed that they had to get all form of impurities so one can be pure and cleared from their sins. Like that made any of them less corrupt."Took you long enough!"he scolded, his cold eyes fixed on us.

Sir Ayer was dead. Dead! Nobody knew who killed him. No. Everyone pretended like they didn't know his killer. A logical thing to do,if you didn't want to become next. A coward. That was what everybody became. But I wasn't ready to turn into one. I might be sweet,nice and ready to abide to every rules and regulations, but the demon inside me was only sleeping. Not dead. 'Think about your life,is it worth foolishly loosing?' You might want to ask me that. Well is doesn't really feels like I was living. There's just the body,but no life in it.Charging grumpily to the gates of hell,well it wasn't scary at all. I felt no fear,on the contrary all that cluttered up in my lifeless body was this ravaging rage. This time the devil should be scared of me.

The Bedevilled Soul Chapter one hundred and forty five
Getting there, a young man covered in full pile of blood was laying helplessly on the ground. His eyes.. Oh his eyes were already so pale that I was starting to doubt whether there was any black left in them. It became so hard to even notice where the wound was from. I couldn't really tell much, but from the looks of it, it looked like he was butchered on purpose. He had been completely rough handled. Poor man. What feared me most was that his soul was already half gone from his body as his body was close to being empty at the moment. It was so scary, yet sad and devastating. I couldn't protect him. All of the happiness inside of me, crumbled away and dissolved into the air like dust. There was a silence to my soul; like I was fall leaves under frost. I felt the chill in my blood, coldness bringing the synapses of my brain to a stand still. Part of it was a pain, yet one I felt I could endure, one I could sleep through night after night without the need of false hope.
