Chapter 10

In the not-so-far distance, the view of a perfectly shaped volcano can be seen. The gloomy sky followed by the echoing thunder further enhanced the eerie atmosphere. In the middle of this seemingly area devoid of life is where a castle erupted. Despite the chaos happening near this castle, it remained perfectly intact as the people in chaos below all avoided the castle. These people looked human from their figure but with a closer look their skin was as gray as ash and the sheer power they all exuded towards one another was inhumane. 

Then suddenly, a crow came flying this entire chaos which caused the rioting people to silently watch as it entered into the castle. Not long after, the castle door creaked open and was followed by a woman in a long silk black dress holding onto a white envelope with one hand and an umbrella over her head. The people immediately made way for the woman, no one could even guess that there was such chaos happening just a few minutes ago because of how silent the area was. 

The very moment the woman disappeared off into the distance the fights continued on. 

Inside the castle, however, was a man deep in thought. He gave off the aura of a king, his orange eyes glowing could almost compare to the blazing lava spewing out of the volcano nearby, his expression was stern as he gazed at the bird in his hand. 

"What could you be up to now, Ena?"

After mumbling those words the bird on his palm was then set ablaze his mind still focused on the certain image of a woman smiling at him as she played in the water, his feet being intact on the sand. He could see the woman was trying to tell him something. Before he could even make out what she said, he was snapped back into reality, realizing that the bird he held had now turned into nothing but ashes.

"Crap, that prick is gonna bother me again."

He simply brushed off the ashes from his hand the very moment it landed on the concrete floor, the ashes came together and made the figure of a similar bird that now looked more like a piece of magma rather than a crow. The now newly formed bird flew out from the castle window as if it already knew what it was meant to do.

The man eyes the bird who just flew out and soon his focus is on the dozens of scrolls in front of him.

A lady with gray hair, her deep black eyes equaled the black silk dress on her body, and black gloves covering her slim fingers, her expression gave off an optimistic energy, she then stepped across the border of the then lands and was now walking through living soil. She only stopped on her steps in front of a particular and weirdly shaped oak tree. 

She folded the umbrella in her hand and placed it in a small opening space in the air she just made. She also slid off the white doll shoes from her feet and placed them in what seemed to be her inventory. 

She then walked up to the disfigured tree and placed her palms on the oak, her eyes closed as she then started chanting.

Thy Supreme Lord of the realm of halls, this lowly being was sent by Supreme Deity Amomongo. I pray for thy lord to let this being through.

After a few seconds, a small opening on the tree started appearing. The woman dressed in all black simply bowed her head and made her way inside the opening. She walked straight ahead not looking in any direction or towards any noise she may have heard. Her focus was completely set on the light in front of her.

Within only a few minutes of walking, she reached the light she carefully followed. Now, in front of her was a knob, she gently placed her hand on the knob and turned it slowly. an opening now showed up before her and revealed her destination.
