My mood as still ruined from last night. The maid said I must put on comfortable clothes so I put on what I usually wear. I wore my black skirt, button up, and brown boots. I went down stairs to see North waiting for me.
"Anora", he said seriously.
" Yes", I asked confused.
"Drink this", he said giving me a test cup.
" Why?", I asked nervous.
"We you have finished the test know we did this on purpose", he said looking away.
I drank the tea feeling tired soon after. I feel to the ground and all I saw was black.
I woke up on soil! My mind was going crazy I didn't know where I was. I could hear strange noises around me. My heart raced as I grabbed my gun ready to shoot. I stood up when I felt my knife vibrate.
"omnes interficere"
"Kill them all"
As I put my knife away something ran towards me. Their red eyes saw my fear. I shot into there heart bright red blood coming out. Their blood was so bright compared to humans. Suddenly, many more came out of hiding. They were going for my head. Stupid! I smiled laughing as I killed each one. Then, I got disarmed by one and we began to fight one on one.
"Your mother really wants to see you soon", it said avoiding my knife.
" Tell her I love her when you see her in hell soon", I said smiling as I stabbed them in the heart.
I got my gun and just started to run shooting anyone I saw. As I ran I saw flashes of Mother. I got my bottle of holy water and poured it on myself. I no longer saw her image anymore. I stopped when I saw a giant demon in front of me.
"Anora Butler", it said laughing, " I didn't expect you to be so small".
I smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to look so weak".
"Mammon will meet you soon little girl", it said getting ready.
It had a huge hook and slammed it towards me. He missed luckily! It took him a second to get his hook up so I shot a couple of times. It didn't do much so I knew I had to use my knife. He got ready to attack again; he got some of my dress. It got stuck so I had to rip it off. It was one of my favourites. When I got it off I started to walk on his arm and stabbed him in the heart. Suddenly, I heard a horn ring loudly. Then, a gate opened not to far from were I was standing. I walked over there tired from all that fighting. When I got to the end there was North, Ren, the king, and a few generals.
"What just happened?", I said breathing heavily.
" You just passed you test", the king said while I had a very confused face.
"This was a test for you to fight in battle early then the rest. You can only fight in wars when you turn 21", North said.
" I did it when I was younger. But your the only woman to do things like this", Ren said smiling as I nodded my head.
"Why have women never did things like this?", I asked crossing my arms.
" Woman need to stay and help the town and family", the king said.
"That's why we haven't won", I said looking down.
" I bet your tired Anora and you have blood all over you. How about you got rest?", North said pulling me away from the angry faces of the generals. I guess since I talked back.
I took a warm bath and got ready and took a nap. When I woke up it was night time. I walked out on the balcony to see the night's stars. It was peaceful and quiet. Until a crow came to me. It was very friendly. It had a thick letter on it. I got the letter slowly off the bird so I would scare it. When I grabbed it flew off. I then began to read the letter.
To Anora Butler,
" I hope you are having a nice trip but I wanted to inform you about your Mother's past. You mother came into town when I was around 22 or 23. She was kind and very pretty! She loved the idea of getting money and power. So she began to show us a religion. It was very interesting; it said we would get great wealth and love. But, it involved human sacrifice. We followed a "god" called Mammon. We were drivin by wealth and so we followed it except for me. Your father and mother than got married and soon had you. But when you were born a few days after he died. So that's when your mother began training to fight. When she went into battle she always wore the same thing. A white dress with a ribbon so big that the coth rapped around her stomach and then formed a bow. But most of the time she wore a black dress with a apron. Also she always had her hair up no matter what. That's is all I really remember if I find anything else I will send my crow to give you more info."
From the blind lady.
Mammon. Mammon. Mammon. Mammon! I have heard that name before. That's who they worship that's who is starting all of this. My mother was helping it to keeps it's power! The deadly sin of greed. Selfish! The demon said I'll meet it soon. I'll kill it and end this war!
