Betrayal 63

Even the elders and Accursed warriors couldn't help but put their fight on hold and looked ahead.

Asahel was soooo huge that those back in town could see a huge structure from afar and think it was a giant boulder or small mountain

Rimley looked at his hand and leg and then at the others who were frozen in place 

(I won't die here no matter what) he thought to himself

With that he stretched his right hand towards Keith who though was frightened still continued to heal Rimley's hand when suddenly he felt a strong and sharp pain in his chest....only to look down and see a hand pass through him, he then looked back at the owner of the hand and had a shocked expression on his face but that didn't last long as blood splattered everywhere when the owner of the hand removed his hand from his chest.

Dana thought she had seen everything frightening today when she caught a glimpse of Keith in his own pool of blood and the culprit was none other than the man she adored and worshiped.

Rimley rose up with a beating heart in his hand and then wrapped it in vines before controling the blood that spread out to gather together and form a ball, or more like the blood reacted to some markings on his body and gathered around.

As he did so he looked at Krimley and spoke "you'd better do the same we have no time we need to leave this place as soon as possible"

Krimley looked at what Rimley did and didn't like it but he had no other choice, against a monster like this one or even against the Accursed warriors.

This monster was not something he could fight. With that he looked at Dana who by now had chills running down her back 

"I can still fight...please spare me I can..." 

Before she could finish her sentence Asahel swept her tail towards their direction. Rimley was already done with Keith's body and a sperk of white light came out which immediately entered into his head, as soon as that happened he saw the tail coming and quickly jumped high, 

Krimley was quick as well and did the same, the only person too late to react was Dana who was directly hit and even got poked with spikes that pierced through her vital and none vital points 

Dana couldn't help but fall like a sack of grain and coughed off blood.

"Krimley don't waste time and take her remaining soul power and blood before she dies"

Dana was motionless and watched as Elder Krimley did the same thing Rimley did to Keith to her

Everything happened fast but for Dana it was super slow....as of this moment she saw her life history flash before her eyes 

(I guess this was what they meant when they say you see your life flash before your eyes when death is at your door) Dana thought 

She came from a small but happy home, with loving and simple parents, everything was fine until the day she showed her mother what she could do.

 She could control the wind, just a small amount though and make it move in the direction she wanted. 

She thought she was special and her family would look at her in awe but that was far from the truth, before she knew it her parents sold her and her mum told her privately that she couldn't risk her marriage and besides children can always be born.

what she didn't know was that her mother was just like her but had hidden her powers and pretended to be an ordinary person in order to not be humiliated, beaten or sold off and also because she loved the life she had now.

Dana was eight years old and didn't know what she had done wrong neither did her mother tell her anything, only to be sold off 

but after passing from one hand to another she found out that people refer to her kind of people as Accursed witches and they were killed or sold on the spot to people who used them for their own benefits.

Life didn't get better for her, as the ones who despise her and bought her also abused her, slowly she was losing the light in her eyes, when fortunately she came across the Rimley's Entertainers.

They had come to the town she stayed as a slave and it just so happened her master had come to watch them, upon seeing this group of people perform so well she felt they were like her but free instead of chained.

She didn't wait for an invitation and though she was already in her late twenties she still went after them and pleaded for them to take her in and to her surprise they didn't refuse and accepted her in to the family.

They did the welcoming ritual as long as she agreed to be part of their family.....she didn't need any other reason to refuse and so she accepted by performing the ritual of dropping a blood into a drink and only the elders were to drink it while a drop of Rimley's blood was put in a drink and only the newcomer would drink it.

It was only now she understood that those elders could kill them anytime they see fit since their blood was already within them and they could always be traced even if they left the family.

Dana had all these flashes within a second, as her life slowly faded away, it was at this moment before she gave up that she looked in the direction of Asahel and thought

 ( I....guess that's why she never wanted to join the family) with that her eyes slowly lost its light and she was gone, her body drained of any blood, she looked just like Keith...a dry twig.

Elder Krimley had just finished when a tiny sperk of white light came out of Dana and entered into his body

"Krimley let's be fast we can't afford to be taken down "

"Right..... I'm ready"
