...The Dragon...
A dragon made of light started rising. It looks like a snake with four legs.
Its body, which is made from shells, shined in three different colors. The beams that were reflected by the water symbols shined in blue, the one that hit the earth symbols became orange and the rest became white. It was such a wonderful combination of these three colors
The dragon's body was as long as The Great Wall, while its head was created from the image that was reflected from the mirror.
It was so big and shiny...
Laila grabbed Mei back.
- BE CAREFUL!
They stepped back while their eyes kept following the mythical creature. That was the first they witnessed such an extraordinary animal.
- Is this a dragon?
Mei was so happy to see it:
- Yes, To be more specific, that's a celestial dragon. That kind of dragon guards heavenly palaces and pulls divine chariots.
- Why do you look so happy?
- I have never imagined that I will encounter this fantastic creature. It is like a dream come true...
- I hope the dream won't turn out to be a nightmare.
After the body of the dragon became fully created, it looked straight at them with his red crimson eyes.
- What is going on?
- I...I don't know...
It started rising its head, then it lowered it again and headed toward them.
- It...it won't eat us, right?
- Well, technically it can't, but I'm not sure of that.
The dragon stopped right in front of them, then it roared.
- I THINK IT'S GOING TO EAT US...RUN
They wanted to run away, but the dragon was faster than them. It opened his mouth and seemed like it ate them, but since he was made of light, it passed through them.
The light was too strong that they closed their eyes.
After some moments, they opened their eyes.
They were standing in a fully dark place.
- Where are we?
- I don't know.
They looked like they were floating in the dark space.
- That dragon brings us here!
- Yeah, it seems that it took us to another dimension.
- Dylan, can't you remember anything else from the clue?
- No...
Suddenly, they started hearing voices inside their heads.
- Dylan...That woman is a witch hunter. Her grandfather killed your girlfriend and she was about to kill Laila how can you tolerate that?
- Mei...That witch can be the cause of your brother's death...You must kill her to make your grandfather proud of you.
- Sarra...Your husband disappeared, and you didn't see your little girl because of that woman. She is the cause of your family's destruction. Kill her.
Each one of them had a voice in his head that rose anger and hatred in his heart. They started looking at each other with eyes full of rage.
Mei was the most affected by those voices. She pulled out her sword and attacked Sarra without hesitation.
- YOU WITCH, I MUST KILL YOU.
Sarra managed to get away from her because Mei was swinging her sword randomly. Anger blinded her.
- SARRA, BE CAREFUL!
Screamed Laila.
Sarra glared at Laila, then she tried to attack her as well. Fortunately, she couldn't use her magic. Instead, she pushed her down.
- SARRA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
- YOU ARE THE REASON FOR ALL MY MISERY. I WILL PUNISH YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID.
Dylan also wanted to hit Mei, he snatched the sword from her and put it on her throat.
- YOU MUST PAY FOR WHAT YOUR GRANDFATHER DID. YOU ARE CRIMINALS.
Laila was the only one that she didn't hear any voices. She was watching her friends turning into enemies.
" What is going on? Why everyone is like this? Is something happening to them? I must stop Dylan first he is holding that sword while he is not in his right mind. He will hurt Mei for sure. "
She jumped and hugged Dylan from the back:
- STOP DYLAN, YOU MUST STOP!
The voices kept pushing Dylan to ignore Laila and stab Mei.
- LAILA, STAY AWAY FROM ME. I MUST GET MY REVENGE.
At that moment, Laila kissed him.
Dylan's anger faded away and he turned back to his normal self.
- L...Laila! What did happen?
- SOMETHING IS HAPPENING! WE MUST STOP SARRA AND MEI.
Dylan realized that the voice that he heard was hypnotizing him.
- They are hypnotized, we must wake them up.
" I woke up when Laila kissed me, so my emotions were the reason. "
Sarra wanted to attack Laila again, at that moment Dylan showed her her daughter's photo.
- WAKE UP, SARRA. SALMA IS WAITING FOR YOU.
When she saw the photo, her tears started dropping immediately and she went back to her senses.
- What....what did happen to me?
- It's okay...
it was only Mei who left, she took the sword that Dylan dropped and wanted to attack Sarra.
- MEI, STOP. YOU MUST WAKE UP.
- I WILL KILL YOU, WITCH.
The voices were filling her head, she couldn't resist them.
- How are we going to stop her?
