Fogs of Punishment
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Rara waited, her anxiety mounting with every passing moment. The old man had been dragged away hours ago, and the silence in her cell felt oppressive. Every creak of the old mansion seemed to echo her growing concern.
Suddenly, the door creaked open, and Assistant Panda appeared, his imposing figure framed by the dim light of the hallway. Rara looked up, surprised to see him, her heart fluttering with a mix of hope and suspicion.
“Why am I being released?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly. “Did something happen to the old man?”
Assistant Panda’s eyes were cold and unreadable. “You’re coming with me.”
They exited the mansion and approached a sleek black car waiting by the ornate palace gates. Rara’s curiosity was piqued, but Assistant Panda’s impassive demeanor offered no clues. As she glanced out of the car window, the world outside seemed to blur into an indistinct haze.
“We’re going to watch a show,” Assistant Panda said with a hint of irritation in his voice.
Rara’s eyebrows knitted together. “What kind of show?”
Assistant Panda’s lips twitched in a faint, enigmatic smile. “A special one.”
The journey felt interminable, the car winding through narrow roads until they finally reached the edge of a thick forest. The towering trees loomed like dark sentinels as Rara stepped out, the air growing colder and heavier.
She followed Assistant Panda and his two burly subordinates into the forest. The canopy overhead grew denser, casting eerie shadows that danced with the flickering light filtering through the mist.
“Why are we heading into the forest?” Rara asked, her voice echoing with a note of panic. Her footsteps crunched on the underbrush, and she glanced around, trying to make sense of their destination.
Assistant Panda didn’t respond, his focus fixed straight ahead. The deeper they ventured, the thicker the fog became, curling around them like a living entity. The fog was so dense that it seemed to swallow sound, creating an unsettling silence punctuated only by their footsteps.
Rara’s mind raced with dark scenarios. What if they intended to kill her here? The possibilities were grim:
...A shot in the dark?
...Feeding her to wild beasts?
...Burying her in a shallow grave?
...A public execution?
...Hanging her from a tree?
...Sealing her in a coffin?
She glanced back at Assistant Panda and his subordinates, her heart pounding. Desperation gripped her. Without thinking, she lunged and sank her teeth into Assistant Panda’s wrist.
His reaction was immediate and visceral. He howled in pain and fright, trying to wrench her away. “What are you standing there for?! Help me! She’s gone mad! A wild animal!” he shouted, his voice echoing through the forest.
The subordinates rushed to his aid, prying Rara off with surprising ease. Assistant Panda’s wrist was bleeding, and he winced with each movement. He sighed with relief when Rara, exhausted from her struggle, fainted and collapsed onto the forest floor.
“Really, what a bizarre woman,” Assistant Panda muttered as one of his subordinates quickly bandaged his wrist. “Biting people and fainting at the drop of a hat.”
The subordinates hoisted Rara’s limp body and carried her deeper into the forest. The fog grew even thicker, swallowing the trees and turning the path ahead into a swirling, indistinguishable mass.
They eventually emerged into a clearing. The area was a strange contrast to the encroaching fog—a large, open space surrounded by a dense, swirling mist. The fog seemed to pulse with an almost sentient presence, and the air was thick with an ominous chill.
A group had already gathered in the clearing, including Chief Lisun and several of his subordinates. Chief Lisun, a stern man with a commanding presence, observed as Assistant Panda and the subordinates brought Rara forward.
“Chief Lisun,” Assistant Panda said, his voice still tinged with annoyance. “I had to deal with this lunatic. She bit me and then fainted.”
Chief Lisun inspected Assistant Panda’s bandaged wrist, his eyes narrowing. “What happened?”
“Who else would do this but her?” Assistant Panda gestured angrily at Rara, now regaining consciousness. “She bit me and then collapsed. I have no idea what’s wrong with her!”
Chief Lisun shook his head, crouching down to inspect Rara. Without a word, he pinched her nose, causing her to stir.
Rara gasped awake, her eyes wide with confusion and fear. She pushed Chief Lisun away, struggling to stand. Her breaths came in ragged gasps as she looked around, trying to make sense of her surroundings.
“What is this place?” she demanded. “Why am I here?”
Chief Lisun’s expression was grave. “This is the Fogs of Punishment. It’s a place where the most severe offenders are brought to face their fate.”
Rara’s eyes widened in horror. “What do you mean, ‘most severe offenders’? Are you saying I’m going to be punished here?”
Chief Lisun nodded solemnly. “A prisoner who has committed the gravest offenses is tied to the stone in the center of this field. Rituals are performed by those who serve the fog fairies. Then, the fogs of fire, water, earth, and wind emerge from all directions, encircling the prisoner until only dust remains.”
Rara shivered violently, her eyes darting around the clearing, but she saw only the dense fog and the figures of those present.
“Wait, are you saying that I’m the one who’s going to be tied to that stone?” she asked, her voice trembling with disbelief.
Assistant Panda smirked, “You’re lucky it’s not you this time. But who knows? The Fogs of Punishment are unpredictable. You might be chosen.”
“No, this is nonsense! You’re just trying to scare me!” Rara protested, her voice rising with desperation.
Chief Lisun’s tone was firm. “You should consider yourself fortunate that the king and queen allowed you to leave the prison. The Fogs of Punishment, however, are beyond our control. It’s best if you hope you’re not selected.”
Rara’s eyes widened with shock and relief. “The king and queen let me go so easily?”
Assistant Panda scoffed. “Only because the court intervened. Otherwise, you’d be rotting away in the prison.”
Rara’s face hardened with resolve, and she shot a piercing look at Assistant Panda. Her emotions were a turbulent mix of fear and anger.
“Ah! Chief!” Assistant Panda exclaimed, glancing nervously at Rara. “Look at her! She’s going to bite someone again!”
Chief Lisun remained impassive, his gaze fixed on the mist swirling around them. The atmosphere was charged with tension, and the Fogs of Punishment loomed ominously in the background.

“Enough!” Chief Lisun’s voice cut through the air like a blade, sharp and commanding.Assistant Panda, feeling the sting of the reprimand, lowered his head, his large, expressive eyes flickering with a mix of guilt and defiance. He wrapped his tail around his legs in a submissive gesture, though his posture betrayed a deep-seated resentment.Rara’s gaze swept over the field, taking in the array of figures scattered across it. “Who are they?” she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity as she nodded toward the various groups.Chief Lisun’s finger traced the groups like a teacher pointing out elements on a map. “The people over there,” he began, gesturing toward a cluster dressed in uniform attire adorned with bird feather hats and tribal white markings.“They are the ones performing the ritual today. They are the White Tribals family. Apart from them, there are also the Black Tribals, the Red Tribals, and the Green Tribals. Each group will perform their rituals in sequence: red, green, b

The struggle was intense, his muscles straining as he grappled with her.Her eyes, glowing a menacing red, showed no hint of relenting.

Chief Lisun halted at the large tree trunk that had been fashioned into a bench. It was a rustic piece, the bark rough and gnarled, yet it had been carefully carved to serve its purpose.With a gentle motion, Chief Lisun removed his coat and carefully draped it over Rara, who was sleeping soundly. He then settled onto the bench beside her, allowing her to lean against his shoulder.Her breathing was steady and calm, contrasting sharply with the tension that gripped the rest of the scene.The king, watching from a distance, was seething with fury.His normally composed demeanor had shattered, replaced by a smoldering rage that he struggled to contain.

Queen Lustia had just stepped out of the grand doors leading to the pond patio when her eyes fell upon an unexpected sight: a red-haired girl reclining casually in a chair, her back turned toward the queen.The sun cast long shadows across the lush garden, its golden rays dappling the ornate stone pathway. The scent of blooming jasmine mingled with the crisp, fresh air. The serene beauty of the pond, with its gently rippling water and vibrant lilies, contrasted starkly with the unsettling scene before Queen Lustia.Gulping audibly, Queen Lustia silently withdrew her foot and retreated into the hallway, her heart pounding in her chest. She had been anticipating a peaceful moment of solitude, not an encounter with someone so brazenly disregarding her presence.“Your Highness, the fish food is here,” came the sudden, nervous voice of a maidservant, breaking the queen’s reverie.Startled by the intrusion, Queen Lustia spun around and glared sharply at the maidservant who stood there.

“Chief, are you alright?” Assistant Bear asked, his voice laced with concern as he rested his hand on the handle of the gun strapped to his waist.Chief Lisun groaned and slowly pushed the figure lying heavily on top of him aside. He sat up, brushing off the dirt and grime that clung to his clothes.He looked down at the person sprawled on the grass, their clothes a muddled mix of colors. She was a young woman with a defiant posture, her fiery red hair fanned out like a halo around her. Her face, partially hidden by a stray lock of hair, was flushed with a mixture of embarrassment and frustration.She glanced up briefly, her eyes meeting his for a fleeting second before she turned her attention back to the dirt.

The Reborn Witch Princess Encounters
When Rara entered the dining hall for breakfast, she was momentarily stunned by the scene before her. The hall, elegantly decorated with tapestries and grand chandeliers, was filled with the aroma of freshly baked bread and brewed coffee. At the center of this regal setting stood a tall, striking male figure beside the queen. The queen's warm, affectionate smile contrasted sharply with the king's cool, detached demeanor.The figure beside the queen was dressed in a finely tailored outfit, a rich navy blue that complemented his stature. His hair, dark and meticulously styled, fell just so, accentuating his chiseled features. As the queen spoke, he responded with brief nods and succinct answers, his posture upright and formal.Rara, lost in her observations, barely noticed Prince Ariel approaching until he spoke. “What are you standing there for?”Startled from her daze, Rara turned to find Prince Ariel standing just behind her.

Rara was about to reply when someone else beat her to it. "Shut up!" The woman who had just berated her immediately stepped back in fright as she lowered her head.

As the man on the throne unleashed his aura that made others inside the main hall feel a heavy pressure, Rara's face was still as calm as usual.

Rara slowly got out of bed with Xavier's help.The moment she stood up, a gush of water landed on the floor and wetted the carpet on the floor.Looking down at the puddle of water on the floor, both of them went pale in panic.Xavier immediately carried her back to bed and put her in a lying position, "Ho-honey, w-wait here...I-I'll go and call the doctors over."After that, he flashed out of the room and down the second floor where the female doctors who specialized in giving birth were staying.Knock!
