The only way to survive is to break the Chain.
The chain in which Alia is caught right now. Alia- an archaeological student who ended up as the Queen of people's choice.
A normal student with attachment and trust issues, who doesn't give a shit ab...
I saw an image flash before my eyes. I wasn't sure if it was me or it was because of the coin and the pendant.
But I'm pretty sure I saw something, or rather someone.
"Guys." I called them.
They turned towards me as I realized,
"I think the souls, or whatever that is, are trying to take revenge for what their people did to them."
Nicholas and Darius looked at each other in confusion. They closed the door and gave me their full attention, and so did Anastasia.
"Yes see, I don't know if the Mycenaeans believe in ghost or stuff but I am pretty sure they exist. In the future, they even play a great part in the dramas. Believe me, these souls are trying to take revenge because their own people killed them. The people whom the two rulers wanted to save, the people whose life they wanted to make better, wealthier. These people killed them.. I can understand how it would be if I were killed by my own people. I would for sure take revenge. Kill my killer."
"So you are saying Pythia and Symon are ghosts who wants revenge-as in killing the people who lived 100 years back ?"
Anastasia asked with confusion laced her voice.
"No, that is not what I am trying to say. I am saying, they are trying to find what happened and they're angry at their people for what they did to them. If their condition was true, they wouldn't be angry because you just know. I think they faced some kind of injustice. Something is not adding up in here. Darius, you served queen Pythia, right?"
"Yes, during my days -I served her."
"Did you see her fish-skin with your own eyes.?"
"No, I just heard it as the rumour spread."
"Or did someone else, like her maids or servants saw it with their own eyes?"
"No, my queen, not that I know of. Coming to think of it- no one actually saw her having the fish skin, but I don't know how the rumours spread and in the end the people were afraid and asked for the Senate to make the decision. They even held a secret council to which I wasn't invited, for being the Queen's guard as I went to scout the village that night and when I returned......."
He trailed off, reminiscing about that day with a sad look on his face. Wow, maybe she was really the greatest ruler of all times.
"Oh my God, poor Pythia. I don't think it was the people who wanted her dead. Someone must have planned everything perfectly to show her that her own people killed her. But honestly, it was a cold-blooded murder."
And after saying that,
I didn't know what I was doing, but I stopped mid conversation and placed the pendant at the table and the coin on top of it. And then, I saw it again. I thought it was my mind playing tricks, but then it was indeed true.
I saw them.
A flash of image appeared before my eyes. There was this beautiful girl lying on her bed as she was sleeping. The next image showed the knife that was stabbed, aiming at a heart right from the back.
-the right back and shoulder-
The next image flashed as a guy was watching the gardens from the terrace, just like I do every day. He was enjoying the view as he turned to see if someone was there and got stabbed to death in the stomach. The killer stabbed the guy in the stomach and twisted the knife as the guy cried and dropped on his knee.
-the stomach-
"Alia Alia!!! Are you alright? Alia come back. What happened, Alia? Why are you crying? Wake up!!!"
I heard a voice calling me. I opened my eyes to see Anastasia in front of me
"Alia, what happened? What did you see??""
All three of them looked extremely worried as I started putting pieces together 1 by 1. Everything falls into place. When I saw the face of the killer, I couldn't bring myself to believe he was the one. But how come the guy with the same face, live between 2 centuries cap and also in the present.
That's when everything dawned on me.
Poor Anastasia. I took her hand and held it tight, not wanting to let go. I feared the things I just found out might be a dream which will go away when I wake up. I wanted to know this is a reality in the past.
"Alia, what happened? What did you see?" she kept on asking me..
"I saw what happened to them. Those two great rulers of all time Pythia- she got stabbed on the right side of her back while she was asleep-"
-the right back-
"-and As for Simon, they stabbed him in his guts from the front"
-the abs.-
This happened. There is a killer out there. I need to let Shanaya and Sharuk know about this before anything happens to them. Oh My God.
