Trapped With No Future

Chapter 10 Trickling Footprints Dripping Off...

Trickling footprints dripping off the world as Eliathem reached the position of her legs stuttering with just her unequal feet smudging against the mud of the dirt floor. Old feelings and memories were flying like daring fairies across the bladed cavern. Many wonders formed as everyone's frames emerged free and were in motion.

Rasping pains were going in and out continuously. Confusion and horror danced around in the atmosphere as they all looked at the once Lifeless corpses on the dust of the floor. "What just happened", the King said in an awkward tone?

"The times between two-dimensional planets infused", Effealia announced in a loud skeptical way.

"It means that because all of the souls are free because of the power, our world for just a couple of seconds was trapped but in our minds, we felt that it was for many hours, or even days. The seconds lasted until the Queen awakened after freeing the souls", Lillian explained.

"Wait, does that mean that I am...the QUEEN", Eliathem stuttered discordantly?

"Technically, yes", Effealia replied.

"How is that supposed to be true, or make sense even", the King asked nervously?

"She has the power and magic of the long uncovered Queen, and she has left her path of footprints across the world", Lillian said with the elegance of an angle.

"What exactly does that mean for me", Eliathem asked with much curiosity?

"It means that your power can command anything or anyone with just the cry of your mind", Effealia said with joy in her voice.

Oh my...that must be why every time I was in agonizing trouble, that loyal steed would come to my beacon of distress. Well, I guess I should call him the royal steed, Eliathem thought with frozen realization.

Lillian said with a direct order, "You must resist the urge to take advantage of your power. It is a tempting prone towards you if you do, then great madness will come to you and the ones around you—

"That is actually how I created the fake monstrosity of a world", the King said peeling his eyes at the dull dirt.

Eliathem, Effealia, and Lillian did not drool out a single word. They just gathered closer to the King with grim drawn out on their faces and they had an infectious tenderness towards each other for the King's lifelong planted worst sorrow.

As if somber pieces of gravel were being hauled together gradually by an allurement. The oblivious Lifeless corpses were no longer in a corpse state as they were equally raised with enthralled expressions consuming their brash faces. Nothing but sudden gulps puffed up in Eliathem's and the King's gargling throats. Their eyes were electrified. They directed their captioned views towards the two girls, Effealia and Lillian. Rupturing out of their minds causing them to become possessed and force cruel blood through their veins, forcibly tempting them to kill the King.

In their opaque minds, the only this that awakened them was the eyes of Eliathem's which touched the once Lifeless myriad of eyes. The rainbow that reflected their eyes was brought them back to reality.

Eliathem tumbled down and she was put out of consciousness and control. Another scratching vision awakened into her sleeping mind. Lightning marks infused her every step. There was the King who was kneeling on the floor unarmed as the Lifeless and their blood illuminated eyes glowed toward the King. "Your soul will go through fear and pain just as you did to us. We are in this because of you", the Lifeless said as witches casting a horror spell! Right ten, Eliathem knew why the once Lifeless were trying to terminate the King - for what he had created in this world.
