Chapter 22: Sasha's Dark Past

After a long travel Sasha and her comrades had reach the Kingdom of Sunlight where they accommodate the rulers of Rundarya to stay for night.

After the incident that happened at Moonlight Kingdom.

Sasha cannot believed what she had saw. First the restoration of the moonlight temple.

Then Petrova..

Sasha cannot comprehend the fact that her sister is still alive.

"It cannot be! She's dying when I left her in that quicksand! She was deeply wounded! How she managed to survive!!" She muttered to herself as she walks around her royale room.

The haunting look at her sister's face when she appeared beside her keeps on flashing on her mind.

As she stared her pale face on the mirror perspiration drips on her face. A memory of her deepest darkest secret flashes on her mind.

"Sasha wait!" A young girl shouted as they fight their way out of the raging sandstorm.

Sasha didn't answered she had heard what the Solari Soldiers had been talking about. Few years from now The Goddess Leona will choose her Chosen Maiden Of The Sun. Everyone is talking about her sister. Her potential to become a chosen maiden is the greatest privilege that everyone aspire to have.

"Sasha! Where are you! I'm scared! Sasha!" Her sister calling out her name.

Sasha clenched her golden dagger tightly there's no turning back. Greed and envy had blinded her.

"Why did everyone sees her potential! What about mine! I had been trying to please each one of them! Why it always need to be Petrova!" She muttered to herself angrily. As she covers her face from the  raging sandstorm.

The sandstorm finally halt. And Sasha blinded by her own will approaches her older sister.

"S-Sasha.. What's the meaning of this?" Petrova stammers as she back away from her younger sister when she saw the rage in her eyes. She felt the chills down her spine when she saw the golden dagger on her sister's hand.

"It's always you! You're the best! Petrova the genius! Petrova the talented! Petrova the the worthy! And soon Petrova the Maiden of The Sun!!!" Sasha screams as she pointed the dagger at her sister!

"I-I don't know what you're saying!! Cut this crap of yours Sasha! This is not funny!!!" Petrova shouted. She slowly take her hand to her bag to get her own dagger in her bag. But fear slowly started  to appear across her face when she heard her sister sinister laughter.

"Looking for this Sister?" Sasha asked as she held up another dagger. " Do you think I'll let you get of here alive?! Your death will make the Chosen Maiden and Be Good Older Sister. I'm sick and tired of being second rated sidekick of yours! I demand to get what I deserve to have!!!!!"

"Sasha stop this madness! We're sist-"

Petrova felt the surging pain on her cheek and the warm liquid flowing from it.

She screams in pain and She felt another stab on her side! As she sputtered blood from her mouth she managed to give Sasha a mighty blow on her face. Sasha was send sprawling on the sand. Petrova felt her legs are starting to give in and she's starting to get weak.

She tried to run but her leg slipped and she went rolling down a sand dune. She tried to scream but the sand give on choking her. She's exhausted when she felt her rolling had stopped.

She let a sighed of relief but this was just temporary. She felt her body being sucked by unseen force.

"Quicksand!" Her mind screams. She tried to get out but she was being sucked faster. Her energy was getting drained and her eyes is starting to get blurry.
