"Arghhh!!!!!!!! So much time has passed... I feel numb... My power has grown weaker... My influence diminished... All this time spent in the tenebrous darkness... has succumbed my powers... If only I could find one soon enough! One desire is all I need... MY wish WILL be accomplished! This world shall be destroyed ! All I need is one desire to unleash my powers again, and a weak soul to fall for my disguise... Yeeeeeeeeeessssss... I feel it... It is clossse... It is time to crush one's soul once again!!! I have been dormant for too long...Scarlet Town already forgot my power , my destruction, my massacre! They will ,along with the whole world, witness the true extent of my powers! I shall destroy, I shall do to them what they had done to my long lossst massster.....Ohhhhh!!! Massster,I will make them pay!!! Their wickedness, their abomination shall be punished!!!
Your death was not in vain! The sacrifice you made was not in vain... THEY WILL ALL PERISH!!!"
Nakiami hardly slept that night. The horrible nightmare haunted her. Sickening images of her dying mother... Her blood on the floor... The assassins running away through the windows...And her frail little body unable to stop them, her terrified eyes stuck on her mother's bloody body...
"Nakiami... live ! Live for me!!!"
"Mamaaa!"
The lifeless corpse... death all around Nakiami... and the shadow... laughing hysterically somewhere behind the scene ,an all-knowing force, an all-mighty presence...
"NOOOOOOO!"
Gasping, Nakiami woke up,stranded from reality."I hate it!why does this have to happen to me?Why am I always haunted by this?"And she began to cry... Crystal tears ran across Nakiami's white , pale cheeks... Her night gown was all wet from the chills and the sweating during the nightmare...
But no one could hear...Her father was gone for some business travel and the bodyguards were on their seats outside...The great house was empty during the night...
"And I will never walk with mommy on the Bridge under the moonlight again!"the poor child inside her screamed. Nakiami fainted.
"What a boooring class...we have to listen to Miss Geko's nonsense again.."she said yawning.
"Nakiami!Pay attention to class!"the teacher shouted lightly.
"Yes,MA'AM!"Nakiami responded. And she continued to think about the beautiful ,old oak tree she visited everyday.The greatness of thet tree attracted her in an incomprehensible manner. It was like a scream for her very ears...Yes...the old oak screamed for Nakiami's company...Only she could understand hum...and he was Nakiami's best friend.All of her confusions, depressions, her most innate thoughts reached the tree.He was the only one who listened to her, without complaining or scolding or shouting or arguments...Oh!And there's that legend saying that under the roots of that great old oak tree was buried the legendary hero of the nation,The Lightning Sword.Yes! His famous battles reached all the corners of the world! He saved the world of the Horror in Scarlet Town over a 100 years ago. He gave his life to protect Humankind...Hmmm...he was optimistic!Yes,maybe it was he, reincarnated in that old oak tree that listened to her.
"Nakiami, are you coming ?"
"Hm,what? oh, yes, is it break already?"
"Mhm, you seemed lost through thoughts during Miss Geko's class..."
"Huh..ummm...it's just that i'm tired,haven't had much sleep lately...let's go! weren't you supposed to treat us today?"
The ring shone bright-fully as the water took it in its embrace...It was lost...looking for another soul to haunt and destroy from the inside.A hundred years passed...The world changed...but not the self-proclaimed ruler of it: the Human. The thirst for bloodshed and power never ceased to feed the Human soul. The crisis Humankind embraced now was the perfect cocoon for the ring to nest its tenebrous powers of the occult. Yet...
The beautiful girl looked upon the great oak she used to come visit everyday and left in a hurry.
"Damn!I'll be late for class again!"
She ran as her beautiful dark hair danced in the soft wind. Her glimmering eyes set a focus on a dream of tomorrow...She would change the world! ...Indeed she would...The entire world would not be the same after she had completed her destiny...
