Genesis of Evil | Evillious Chronicles

Survival

There were four girls at the table. One at each side. Their eyes read wariness, analytical stares breaking down each other.

The eldest, was at the head of the table. Elluka Chirclatia, a mage and lover of the man Kiril Clockworker, a previous HERs victim before Elluka cured him. Long blonde hair framing a focused, serious face.

The youngest, Irina Clockworker. Sister of Kiril Clockworker, a young mage who harbors envy and hatred for her sister in law. Innocent, helpless looks cover a façade of horror.

Daughter of a major funder for Project:MA, Ly Li was a rich and powerful young lady, with a bland but standoffish demeanor.

A former prostitute, Milky Eights was the least eligible. Unable to fulfill the requirement of being a virgin but the only other possibility, Milky took the opportunity.

Each girl was ready to kill to become Ma. 

Only one thought one step ahead.

Ly tripped and 'fell' off a cliff in a drunken stumble.

Unable to continue the death game, Milky hung herself in the forest.

Elluka and Irina faced off one final time.

-

"This has gone too far." Irina sobbed, grasping her sister in law's sleeves. "I don't want you to die, Elluka, I think you're the most beautiful and far more mature than me. You should be MA." The elder sister looked down to Irina, shocked and unsure what to say.

In an attempt to calm her, Elluka knelt down and took her hands, meeting her height. "Don't worry, Irina. It'll be okay." She embraced the younger girl, smiling into her shoulder. This was Elluka's dream- to be the next MA. She couldn't wait to tell Kiril. 

A sharp pain in the small of her back caused her eyes to open wide and mouth hang agape. "Irina.." The woman murmured. She stumbled back, and looked down to her stomach as a rose of blood bloomed through her dress. Her frightened eyes turned back to Irina.

"I'm sorry, dear sister," she spoke so mockingly. "This is my place to take." Irina watched Elluka crumple to the ground. Blood flowed freely from the knife in her back. The elder girl couldn't even speak as she slipped away.
