Unraveling Witch

Into The Portal Of Hell

So much sadness, it laced the air around the strong hold. Sadness from me, Jaken, Sesshomaru, the servants, the guards, and from Riki. It was hard to even sense who's feeling where who's anymore. It was just a giant merging of feeling swirling about like a heavy mist. How could this have happen to such a sweet, innocent, pure hearted girl like Rin? To attack her felt as wrong as killing a mocking bird.

It had been four days since her death and we already had her funeral. Yet the morning didn't ever stop afterwards. Sesshomaru stayed to continue to pay his respects. He felt...well besides his sadness he was a churning cauldron of other emotions. Sometimes I would cue in on his emotions but it never was any better than myself. Sesshomaru may be a stony faced Demon but he was a living organism with emotions. He was so much better at dealing with it and hiding it than anyone I have ever meet. I had secretly hopped that I would be able to use him to stabilize myself. Finding no comfort in him I was left to deal on my own just like the everyone else.

Anger was my current favorite emotion. I would wait on the shores of the beach praying that the Merfolk would be stupid enough to retaliate. I craved the blood lust of battle. A think to project my emotions at. Yet they never came anywhere near the strong hold. Miles upon miles they stayed. I might be deluding myself if I said it was because they could feel the anger in my aura. Then again, the animals of the sea and woods seemed to not want to be anywhere near me. Was I spewing out my frustrations that much?

"This was the moment I feared." I whispered to the winds with tears in my eyes. Why couldn't I get her back? I have searched for a gate of the underworld but my search came up empty handedly. I clutched my fists at my side. It was the only thing to keep me from screaming endlessly. The worse feelings I was having was guilt, and hopelessness. In my turmoil I had even got down to a knee and prayed with the rosary of my father's that I took back from Rin's body. "My fear that this God that I'm pray to for my friend is not real. Extinguish me from this world of fire. False teachings taught by liars. Prayers that go in an empty asylum. No salvation from man's messiah."

"Do you need guidance?" A voice said into the breeze. It was Silvia's. I tensed up immediately and rage flooding my soul.

"The last time you gave me guidance it lead to the demise to a pure hearted girl!" I screamed out.

"If you where in her shoes you would've died and all would've been for naught. You are a witch, you have the power to bring her back. You just lacked the knowledge of how." She said softly. She wasn't anywhere near here. I could only hear her voice call to me from no where.

"So give me that knowledge! I would leap into the pits of hell for her soul if I need be!" I yelled.

"I know, do you remember your familiar half brother? His sword holds the key to your path. Go to him call upon it's power to open the portal of the neither world. Tessaiga is the swords name, it's power that will allow you to go find Rin is called Meido Zangetsuha. Go now, you're already far behind." Silvia advised.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"Because you needed time, don't be so quick to anger now. You must keep your dark powers in check. Don't let them change you, rule over you. Farewell Helena, I'm afraid this is all I can do....until the final call." She said.

"Final call? What final call?" I asked but all I got was silence. I growled but swiftly took off back to my room in the strong hold. I grabbed my stick, strapped on my spear and put on the gauntlet. As I was about to rush out of my room I spotted a small glass bottle. It was empty and it's cork had a string skewered through it, effectively making it a necklace. It didn't belong to me but I had a gut feeling I would be needing it. I grabbed it and quickly stuffed it into my bra before finding Sesshomaru.
