Chapter 21

Emiliar found herself in a room. It had a sense of royalty, she was bounded in chains so she could not have a full view of it. She was thrown into this room by the people who carried her and they all walked away like they were not allowed to enter. She sat there awaiting whatever they were bringing to her. She heard whispers at the back of the door and she listened carefully.

" How did humans enter our territory? We should be cautious. Definitely someone is stabbing our back and they know the consequence of this. Tell everyone that the culprit will not go unpunished"

Another said." Prince Julian just arrived"

"You mean my son" The one with a very loud voice said." Wow, tell the news to everyone . We are going to hold a feast on his behalf. Prepare for the feast now. I'll join you in a moment. Take him to his chamber. I'll come see him soon. I need to see that damsel in my room"

The others left and he opened the door. Emiliar froze with fear as she heard the door crack. She knew that she was in another territory and this man who is their leader doesn't look like an human. He was huge. To him she felt like she was an insect. Sylvia said they would have grown faster and that was true . She felt like a woman already, like she was eighteen or more. The man knelt in front of her. He was grotesque. His face was distorted, making him look like an old, haggard witch. He grinned, and revealed rows of small, orange teeth. His breath stank. He came within inches of her, and stared. He raised a hand to her face, and she could see his long, curved, yellow fingernails. Like claws. He dragged them slowly along her cheek, not enough to draw blood, but enough to make her repulsed. He grinned even wider.

Emiiar tried to get the kind of creature he was but she just couldn't get it. His eye balls were red and it looked like he was deriving pleasre in making her scared.

"Who are you?" She asked, terrified. "Where am I?"

He only grinned further, as if examining his prey. He stared at her throat, and licked his lips. He brought his ugly hand upon her bossom, Emliar stiffened. What is he trying to do? She felt helpless in the chains. She struggled to get it off some part of her body but instead the man grinned wider and the chains didn't budge. He was caressing her bossom.

"What the hell are you doing? Let go of me!" she screamed.

The man just smiled, like he was enjoying her pain. His fingernails grew longer and those hands were on her. Emiliar just closed her eye summoning all the gifts she had. She tried to harm him with her gifts but nothing happened so she thought of doing it on herself. She whispered some spells to make her own body temperature too high for him. Some moments after, the man withdrew his hands. She felt relieved somehow but as soon as she opened her eye she heard his laughter, a laughter that looked like the roar of a lion. Emiliar's heart skipped she felt like she'd be swallowed alive.

" Little witch, Do not play games with me. Never play games with me cause from today onward, you are my playtoy. I own you. " he laughed again.

"That's a lie, you beast! " Emiliar spat. She surprised herself somehow all her fear just erased as soon as he spoke.

He moved closer to her choking her with his body odour. she closed her eye to avoid seeing his face. She had a feeling that he wanted her to be scared of him by showing her his damn features. She felt his fingers on her cheek, he dragged them slowly on it. She could feel bloood trickle down her cheek.

'ouch' she moaned. That was indeed painful. He just tore her cheek. 

Alright! If not for these chains. She struggled to get herself out but nothing changed she was bound. The man laughed as he watched her wriggle in pain.

"Never disrespect me again. I don't care who you are but for now you are in my territory and I will do with you whatsoever I wish."

She was quietly praying. It's visible that this is beyond her power.

He left her and walked into another room.

The man, Roger, the Supreme leader of the dark coven, knew that the lady in his chamber has woken his demon. His demon craved for her but for now his long lost son is back and he would not like to keep him waiting. He left the territory some centuries ago and has not been back since then. Julian is his only son and the Kingship of the demonic world lies in his hands. He tried hard to calm his demon and it did calm down after a while. He dressed up in his royal attire and walked out of the room to join the feast.

***

I was weak , my body ached. I felt hungry and thirst. Being chained in this dark pace is more than torture and I saw those people take Emiliar away. Why did she come after me? Why?Now she's probably in trouble and I can't help cause I'm chained also. I bent my head, my hair covering my face. I don't know what is happening in my world. How did i get here? Why is Emiliar here? Who else is here?

Suddenly I saw a flash of green light, at first i ignored it but when it began to reflect a figure i watched it. It was coming towards me. It came closer till it was a inch closer to me . I tried to look into his face but it reflected so much light that I believed would get me blind if i look into it.

"Katrienair" The man in green light said. His voice looked very familiar but I just couldn't get who he was. I tried to speak but i somehow felt lazy to , I have no energy left in me.

"Look up Katrienaiir" The man said again. I looked up and I saw him. That same man that came to me back in Reba's house.The ghost druid,or rather Sylvia said he isn't.

"You again" I said. Indeed I was happy to see him especially at this time. "What do you want this time? And who are you?"

"Do not ask me questions Katrienair. You are supposedly the most gifted the world has been waiting for, but you have a lot of weaknesses.You are your strength and You are your weakness. There are some questions you should not ask but find out..."

"Wait, Enough! okay? " Katty shunned him." I, Katty is not who you think I am. please, try to listen to me."

"Fine, speak"

"First I'm so happy you're back . You never answered my questions the last time you showed up but I found some answers myself, but right now I'm here and I dont know how I got here, please answer some of my question cause it's not cool to be lost"

I felt I said the wrong thing. I had a lot to say and I just said whatever I could pronounce without stress.

"Are you done?"

I nodded. 

"Katrienair, I am not a druid. I am your comforter and I will only come to you whenever you need me. I am not here to help you out of here. You are on a journey to discovering who you are and you are going to be doing it alone. None will be with you. I'm only here to train you ."

"Okay" I murmured. 

"So your training starts here and now..."

"Here?" I asked. I'm chained for crying out loud how will I train. "I'm chained"

"I know that." He said. "you are training in chains. "
