Chapter 12: A Sacrifice for World Domination
I sat on the sandy beaches of Rio and watched as people swam happily on the ocean. Children were licking ice creams and walking with their parents or guardians. I was tempted to try out the clear blue waters. I stood up and heard my name called. I turned round and saw Tom with a surf board. He asked me whether I would love to surf with him.
" Yeah I would love to", I replied.
" Hey isn't that your necklace?", asked Tom as he pointed at a necklace with a blue diamond in it lost in the sands.
" Yeah I see it", I replied," Thanks".
Silly me, I thought, you have to stop being this careless Nina.
I bent down, pick it up, dusted it, faced Tom and dropped the necklace in horror. Tom's life force was slowly leaving him, turning him into dry bones. I looked around and saw many people's life forces draining away from them. I looked up to see a figure hovering in the sky, blotting out the sun from my view. She seemed to be getting more powerful as she absorbed the life forces. When I could now see her face, I was shocked to recognize a Sara Bliss smiling evily at me.
I woke up and startled a band of witches who were pouring more water in a large cauldron I was trapped in. Strange marbles flowing with dark energy held my arms, legs and head. They made me immobile with no hope of freedom. The witches continued pouring water into the cauldron untill it was fulled with water to the brim. They left me and climbed down the cauldron through a ladder without saying a word. Another witch climbed to the top of the cauldron and faced me. It was her, the witch Golem, who had started these problems from the very onset.
" Glad to see me?", asked the witch.
" The answer is obviously no", I replied.
" There's no need for you to be Nina. There are reasons for all these things you're experiencing".
" Is that what this is about? Because I'm a sui-dogen right?".
" Anas must have told you huh? That still won't trample our triumph".
" What do you want from me?".
Golem sighed," There was a wise man who foretold your birth. A child who could telepathically exist between the Nomans and the Relics. Your birth awoken our hope of conquering the Nomans. I figured out that invoking a demon rel with a light spirit in you would give birth to an unstoppable force that would ravage Nomans and leave those weaklings begging for mercy. All this would however be--".
" At the expense of the two Ninas", I cut in.
" You are a very smart woman by the way".
" So you want us both dead so that Sara would be very powerful".
" That's right my dear. I'm sorry but I'll have to destroy the two faces of the coin instead of keeping them".
" You'll never get away with this!", I yelled.
Golem smiled and said," I've already have dear. I'm doing this for the prosperity of my sisters. And no one, not even the likes of you, will stop me".
She looked at a fellow witch and nodded her head at her. The witch pulled a large switch and watched as some energy left the switch, entered the cauldron and were absorbed by the marbles. My powers were activated against my will and the water started boiling and evaporating simultaneously.
" Within fifteen minutes", said Golem," This water will dry up, and by that time it would have channeled all your powers and life force to Sara. I wonder what you would become after this".
She looked at the same necklace I had picked up in my dream which was worn on my neck and said," Nice necklace you have. I'll take that from you after you're dead".
She finally left me to my fate as the waters continued draining my powers and soul.
