Hear me oh great Queen!
Hear my plea!
Revenge , this unworthy one called forth
your great spirit!!
Revenge! Revenge!Revenge!
As the wind picked up its speed and the thunder became more obnoxious, the thin figure of a young man no more than 20 picked up his chant. His voice strained from not talking much. Yet,he continued to chant as if possessed. His breathing got shortened. But rather than feeling panicked he got more excited. He kept on chanting desperately . And suddenly he couldn't breathe anymore as dark tendrils of smoke rose from the array. Before the world turned a blank black canvas , he let himself smile once , his lips stretching unnaturally indicating the occupant of the body had not smiled in a while. His last thoughts Revenge sweet revenge still echoing like a silent promise.
"Aish! My whole body is sore! it hurts so bad!" a voice whined.
The owner of the voice was a woman who was no more than 30 but looked haggard and barely breathing.
"Omo!! what's this?" just before her was a body bend in a very awkward position. She nudged the dead looking body with her right foot but got no response.
'Have I managed to kill somebody? it has not been even a minutes of me coming back alive again and I managed to kill again!?'
That's right Arissa was dead. She had been dead for many years now. She couldn't remember. It was a joyous occasion for their world . Arissa the deigo turned demon finally killed by her own respected teacher. Oh how Glorious!!
As Arissa looked around, she found her surroundings to be more gloomy. She was in a dark place which looked more like a badly put together shade than anything else to be honest and now that she focused on she could make out the array in which she was sitting on.
it was a very detailed summoning array that was the Heijing family's specialty. They were quite famous back in her days among the respected Demon Family. But as far as she could feel it's a remote location, she even feared this place was not even in the reaches of three possible realms. No it was far from that. It was a mundane realm!
But how could mundane people got hold of one of the most treasured array? had the Deigo world finally fallen? hmm interesting !
Arissa swept her gaze through the whole room one more before her gaze landed on the dead body. Now she understood what must have happened!
This young man must have a healthy dose of resentment buried in his soul , that's why he was able to practically snatched her soul from afterlife and managed to make a corporal body for her to reside in!!
Hmm , and this 10 foot long list was supposed to be people , he wanted revenge from? wow, that's too many!!!
whistling a long forgotten tune Arissa looked at the list of people. Most of these names are not her cup of tea , yet one name in particular made her heart stuttered to a stop.
There sitting on the bottom of the page was a name long forgotten by many , yet here it was. But how?
Taking a deep breath Arissa calmed her heart. First , she would find some decent wear and then she need to check her appearance. It wouldn't do good for others to recognize her. Surprisingly, she was already wearing a loose fitting black Pant which got tighter around her ankles, and her upper half was tightly wrapped in bandages.
Her hair was loosely hold into a bun with a sturdy wood pin. It seemed highly unlikely that she would find some shirt here, so she ventured outside.
Without the glare of the sun and annoying chirping of the birds , no one seemed to be there. With a dead body at her disposal she could very possibly be accused of something or another. 'Huh! what a bother , I am more than happy that this poor child summoned me and gave me a chance to prove my innocence to my teacher but seriously atleast give me something to work with!'
Ok then, it seemed like there was an adjacent store room with it. Arissa entered the poor excuse of a store room and between the dust flying everywhere and her horrible coughing that sounded more like a cat dying , she managed to snatched a perfectly white shirt in one of the well kept box and snatched a black tie looping it lightly around her neck.
She felt kind of bad for not burying the dead body , so she set to work just outside the store room. As she made a decent hole with the spade she got from the store room, she hurried inside the house to get the body but as she walked inside , something really weird happened!
"W-what? where's the body? It doesn't make any sense! I just went out ? how can a dead body vanish in the span of a minute??"
Head still spinning from the revelation, Arissa hurried down the mountain path she found on her brief snooping. If the body didn't suddenly got alive then there must be someone, it would be better for her to get down after all.
Arissa hurried down the path and found a decent town just below . As she entered the town , her unkempt appearance made many head turn . But she just stared ahead. If Asus was there she would probably stared back and laughed carelessly as the other got more uncomfortable. But Asus wasn't there. She -
No No she couldn't think of Asus now, later , later she would deal with the mess of feelings. Now she got to brace herself for revenge. For both herself and the child. She just came back and already had to deal with two mysterious accounts. As she heaved a weary sigh , a sudden commotion drew her attention towards a group of boys all aged no more than 16 or 17. But it was their appearance that made her lost all color.
Those boys in light blue colored over coat and pants flapping in the wind with elaborate pins holding their very beings . Well , there was no other person who would know this dress code better than her. Her very being had been sewed by this pins . Throughout her whole existence all she had known was these pins! How could she forget her own house colour.
A colour that represented that she was her teacher's student. But what was this mediators doing in the mundane town. Did they came to capture her? was it all an elaborate trap then? As she took a step back , suddenly one of the boys snapped his head towards her.
And she ran , as those boys followed her while shouting , they started a wild chase disturbing the peaceful town and giving the perfectly calm animal heart attacks.
