Insanity

My trial...

LISANNA'S POINT OF VIEW:

I woke up wearily, as I tried to wipe my eyes, I notice that I can't move my arms. I struggle and move around, what the heck-? I look up and see the same Goliath soldiers standing in front of my cell with large spears in their hands. As they hear me getting up from another slumber, they turn around facing me, I walk up to them and they speak out clearly, "Your trial will begin shortly, stay put until then-Demon." My eyes grow wide with fear of that word, that's right, I had completely forgot of everything, I sit down and think of the worse. If I have to, I will escape and hide until the Red Moon, it's my job to do everything I can to remain in this war, to remain as a Hunter. That's right, I am a Demon, it could be any Demon, I don't even know she is alive right now. I sigh and bang my head-stupid me, I am to nervous, what are they gonna say?

The soldiers return and unlock the door, and order to follow them, one deep breath-that's right Lisanna, things will turn up. I walk out, in front of me-2 men, behind me-3 men pointing sharp spears at my back. I have to follow them and we stop, we take another step into another room, a large room, a court room. I go and stand in the center of the room, guards blocking all exits and on each side of the room, Salamander guards-I am not going anywhere. I look up to the high stand and see 8 people, 4 females, 4 males. The leaders, they have come to decide on my punishment. I start to shiver by getting the chills, I can't relax, what's gonna happen?

 My mind leaves the world and heads to the beyond, but I suddenly return to Gehenna consciously due to the sound of a slamming gavel to reach everyone's attention present in the court room. It is the Nymph leader of Cesevova, has called to me and I am truly afraid, I don't know what's gonna happen-if anyone is listening, this might be the last of me. Nymph leader begins the trial with her introduction, "I am Calene Hildandi, ruler of the country of Cesevova, as the superior Nymph I volunteer in this trial." She steps down and I shrudder, oh God. The next female leader is the Elf leader, she grows a serious expression and pricks up her ears stating, "I am the superior Elf ruler of the country of this land we stand upon now, Eulalia, Hyza Pixdale, I show my participation and attend this trial of the mysterious phenomenon presented here tonight", she steps down. Another woman rises and states, "I am Synestra Frida, ruler of the country-Ibion, tonight I will help in the final decision." She steps down and the other leader state their name and position of their country, Wizard- Enaldie Sanala , Salamander- Cythnar Telper, Goliath- Zutar Raysdan, Exorcist- Rithtok Nalfar, Golem- Oxbaren Gametris. All of them, are staring at me, Rithok questions me, "I understand that your father is an Exorcist, he is currently living in my cournty Zenonius-correct?"

I look up and as I try to speak, my voice doesn't work I take a moment then I finally speak up with the simple questions, "Yes sir, Zenonius is our home." The group of the leaders look at each other, then draw their attention on me with more questions. Oxbaren asks, "How is it that you are the creature we all fear? The last 16 years, we have lived in absolute fear of those blood-thirty, destructing monsters of the Underworld, however you have the form as one of us." I look up and respond, "To be completely honest, I just learned the fact of why it is through a letter my father mailed to me, but arrived late. See, a Demon possessed the soul of a young women, my father was a high-ranking Exorcist working for the country of Zenonius, and later on the 2 had me." The room remains silent at my answer and the 8 leaders are determined with answers, Cythnar disrespectfully intrudes and states, "You have manners for our enemy, just because your sorta nice doesn't mean your gonna live-you know that, right?" I look down, he's right there is no way, I am going to live now. Enaldie questions, "You were classified as an Unfamiliar, you kept that a secret from everyone, did you not?" I nod, and she continues, "According to Zutar's men, you just realized what class you are due to their explanation, correct?" I nod again, I lost all my words, I am so dead.

Synestra asks, "Why did you hide the fact from the General of Camp Demon Hunt? The information would have been good to have in store." I answer back to them, "I thought I could make it just betting on my combat skills. Hyza giggles and declares, "That was a reckless thing to do, even for a Demon like you." My vains tighten with anger and I look up to them and yell out, "Oh, I am reckless?! What about the stupid law you ALL passed down to the entire world? The one about needing CHILDREN from 10 and older to risk their lives to fight Demons!" All stay quiet and Calene replies, "We were desperate for more Hunters to protect us, so we took all people that were classified among the 8 races, we gathered them......to fight Demons, to fight your kind!" I gasp and lose my breath, I don't know how to respond to those words.....but they are right, I am one of them after all, those cursed Demons-the cursed me.

ONE HOUR LATER....

I hear the sound of 8 gavels pounding together to get the court room's attention. I look up, this looks serious, I bet it's time. Calene speaks out to the audience, "It is time to decide the final decision! Lisanna Selverine prepare yourself for your punishment-keep note, death is an option."Oh my God, not now! I am not mentally prepared, I scream my soul out for someone, Phoenix! I hear him talking to me I my head, shhh....Lisanna, no matter what happens I will do my best to protect you with only my soul, if it is any use- then use my flames and brace yourself. I nod and look at them whisper amongst them, I can't hear them, screw it! They separate each other and Calene declares, "All in favor of branding the Demon present to us raise your hand." No one does and Oxbaren states, "But if we brand her, when the Red Moon is upon us, once the Demons come into contact with this one, doesn't that mean the Demons will try to save this one?" Hyza agrees, "That is true, we will have to use another method to give this Demon a proper punishment." They talk some more and again, this time however- no one says anything. All of them slam their gavels at the same time, Rithtok says out, "Lisanna Selverine, we all agree to sentence you to exile, you are to go to the state of Golems- to live the rest of your life in the underground dungeons of Germasar to rot away."

WHAT?........................

No that can't be....are they serious? If I head to Germasar, even if I escape, how will I return to Eulalia? Everyone will know who and what I am and turn me into the government. I shed tears under my breath, I try to fight them back but I can't shake the feeling that I will never see anyone again, father and my pals will all never see me again. Am I going to break all my promises? I panted for air and screamed out in pain, "N-No!! This can't be, you can't do this!" That grabs everyone's attention, I make my way up the stairs to come into physical contact with the 8 leaders, I am pulled back however from the very first step by soldiers, I continue to shout with my might, "Please, you can't do this to me! I made promises that I would fight alongside everybody! I swore that I would return to my father's side, I can't leave forever yet!" We leave the court room and I am still struggling to be free, "Let go of me you idiots!" They pull even harder and drag my onto the first floor of darkness, to put me in the horrible cell again-no, I don't won't to go! I lose it and spread out my black wings of fear, Demon blood fills the room, and I knock down the 2 soldiers and attempt to flee using my wings-unfortunately I am still new to this and don't get far. I get tackled by about 15 other men and my life flashes before my eyes, if it weren't for my flames, I would've died then and there. I burn everything around me, and I hear the shrieks of pain and engulf in laughter-so funny to watch these people burn! Heh..heh...heh..... Backup shows up and I burn every one of them, so beautiful....so funny.....so entertaining! My lungs can no longer work due to all the laughter, I flip over to my back, "Boo!" I scare everyone and they run away, aww they left... Deep within my soul, Phoenix tries to call for me, but I am to enjoyed to the fact that everyone around me is dying, because of me!! Hilarious, right? That's it, I have given into the insanity...

The only thing that snapped me out of my madness is my tiredness, I crawl into my cell and lock myself in, aww man I am so tired and looked around the room to see so many men dead. I honestly feel guilty and cry for a bit, but know that I am a changed person-no not even a changed person, I guess you could say a discovered person, I have a change in a heart, knowing that, I stare at my noisy cuffs baring my hands together and think, somewhere in my heart, I know I haven't changed at all. I am still determined to leave this cell, avoid going to Germasar, fight in the war, make it alive, then-then I will finally see my father. Oh father, your such an idiot-why did you keep all of this a secret from me? Because of me, you were sick and lost almost all of you blood, because of me you almost dies many times. My seal has completely been removed-especially because of my contract with Phoenix, I am a Fire Demon, a one and a kind only rare Demon. I guess I say that proudly enough, tomorrow, I am suppose to be heading to the country of the Golems, to rot away in underground dungeons. I sigh, what am I going to do?
