The stars above gives off their shadowy light making its surrounding to look more mysterious.The moon, although it's on its crescent shape looks glorious ..silently still on its place above,like a curious child looking at the commotion below.At a distance, a group of brave looking men,clad in a heavy suit of gray armor. They were lead by a man on its middle forties whom at first glance no one will mistook him as the leader of the group.The said man is wearing a blue hooded cape.Underneath,he was wearing a white collar shirt tucked in a black pants and a knee length black boots.In the center of the group they half leading,half dragging a young lady in its breathtaking beauty as their captive.The said leader take a glance at the lady and spoke,"Holy vessel, we are almost at our destination. Please,pardon us for what we have done into you.You know our reasons,its for the peace of this world and to protect you from those people who wants your power."
Protect?! Ha! I know what you humans desired!! I can see it in your eyes...you all want what everybody wants a power to rule.. to reign to be on top.. I don't need your pathetic protection!! I want my freedom!!
As much as she wants to voiced out what's on her mind, the cloth tied on her mouth had magic scribble on it preventing her to utter a counter curse and release herself. There's nothing she can do but to glare at the leader which made the said man to face again the direction they were heading.A few minutes later,they finally arrived at their destination.In front of them stood a tall tower which is more or less 100 meters high.The leader search something on a pocket of his pants and pulled a rusty looking key from it.He inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it clockwise until he heard a loud "click".The heavy doors of the tower creaking loudly when it started to open slowly.When the door fully open,he turned to the group and said,"men, bring the holy vessel up to the tower's highest part.Make sure to chain her to the wall and do not give her any food or water.Although food is useless to her because it doesn't give her any nutrients,we still want to make her weak to keep her from fighting us.Am I clear?"
"Yes sir"
"Guard this place,we don't want others to get her"
"Yes sir"...Days turned to weeks and weeks turned to month..the Holy Vessel sat silently on the room where she was chained.The wind,silently blowing her reddish-brown hair.The room become colder and dark.The moon hardly giving her light.She glanced slowly at the small window,looking at the sky above.Watching the full moon as though it's mocking her pathetic state.And then she remembered the reason why she was captive..
I've made a biggest mistake.. trusting a human like him..making me a fool..
I gave him everything he want..
But I end up in this damned place..
Treating me like I'm an infectious hag..
Cursed him!!!
Her blood boil in an instant.Tears gathering in her eyes poured down on her face like it's having its race..down..down.. until it fell on her hand were the iron handcuffs is.Her tears, were her hatred, fury and rage gathered, made an unbelievable magic,that the handcuffs slowly melting in her hands.Her lips formed into an evil smirk while looking at the silent moon..
Oh? Who are you mocking at?
Ha!
Then who is smiling now?
