She stumbled into the temple, grateful for the cool shade provided by the tunnels. She followed the hallways, searching every room for whoever had made the noise. She could see a thousand faces, all cowering from her, none of them the correct one. She had searched every room when she stepped into an elaborate throne room, where the Great tyrant resided
"Greetings, Calamitous Witch. Welcome to my temple." he bellowed, sending shock waves through her body. The entire jungle seemed to bristle with anticipation at the voice of this tyrant
"who even are you?" the girl inquired. "what do you want with me"
"I am Yharim, the tyrant king. Your skills would be quite valuable to me, and i have an offer you cannot refuse."
"well, speak up then."
"I know your enemy, and i know what you wish for them; but what if i told you, that there could be a worse fate for them"
"I wouldn't believe you" She replied bluntly
"then, i guess i'll have to show you."
The girl gasped as her whole body was sent into spasms. She felt excruciating pain rack her body, and increase in severity while time itself slowed down. She felt the air be squeezed from her lungs, and then it all stopped. She flopped to the ground, gasping from breath, coughing and spluttering.
"what I did," Yharim whispered to her, "is put you in the ceaseless void, an entire, broken dimension that I own. I can put this tribe in there, for eternity, but i warn you, there is a stick to this carrot. If you don't obey me, you'll go in there; and I won't let you out. So, will you obey me?"
The girl nodded.
"Fantastic, lets get to work. I have a job for you; call it a test of loyalty"
The girl stood, and followed the tyrant out of the temple.
