[P.O.V. Evanora Lexington]
For hundreds of years now, I have been planning my revenge. Everything is going to according to plan. Soon I will force a purple moon to shine and when I do, I will complete the ultimate step of my plan. The first step was to get rid of Adriana and make Zyston go dark. Second step was creating chaos through all the kingdoms. Third step is to catch Zyston Woods and imprison him until it is time to use him. The fourth step is to kill Zyston Woods under the purple moon when it's at its highest peak. As he takes his final breath, a new darkness will be born.
I will pledge my loyalty to this new darkness. Helping it tear down all the kingdoms and killing every king and queen. Saving The new higher king and his twin for last. I want them to watch what their father helped created fall apart. Then I will kill the twins and my revenge will be complete. Then my beloved Alexander can rest in peace. I too will have peace for when I sacrifice my life to be with my beloved.
Right now, I'm on the third step. Zyston Woods has been chasing me since that night I kill Adriana. If it wasn't for Lexi's sacrifice, I would have been Hybrid food that night. The way Zyston tore her apart that night was not the king everyone knew. It was his dark self coming out with a vengeance. If it wasn't for the triplet guardians, Zyston would've let his dark self out completely. That what I need most is to let Zyston's true dark self out. It's the only way to make this prophecy of the purple moon come true. But this time I will make sure the dark wins.
Ive already have Zyston and his three followers imprisoned. Deep underground where nobody will find them. I want to turn the heat on Zyston torture today. I need to bring his complete darkness out of him. Going into a deep cold and dark cave with a lit candle in my hand. I continue to where I have him imprisoned.
There were no cells, just some real strong chains anchor into the walls and floors of the cave. I have the two of the name Milo and Gilo chained on one wall. We chained Shiloh on the same wall as Zyston. They are far apart from each other, so they can't help each other escape. They are all looking dirty, bloody, and exhausted. Just the way I want them. The dragon root and wolfbane are like poison to them. Making them even more weak and tired.
Entering where I have them, a gigantic creature that looks like a bull. Looks at me, bows in respect, and leaves the room to give me privacy with my prisoners. With a few tortures to give off a little light, I go to the torture table. Grabbing a dagger soaked in salted wolfbane and dragon root. I walk over to Zyston and stand in front of him. He looked like hell, all bruised and bloody. Shirtless and wore rugged, torn jeans. He was barefooted and his ankles cuffed and chained to the ground. It stretched his arms out above his head, shackled to the wall.
"Its been awhile Zyston, one and half years to be exact." Beginning my conversation with him. I caught him a year and a half ago to this very day.
"Whats your point witch." Zyston croaks. His voice was dry and sore sounding.
"That I have news for you about your sons." Stepping a little closer to him placing the tip of the dagger on the middle of his chest. "First news is your heir to your throne is about to have another child. A sibling for your sweet and precious granddaughter. The second news is your son Riley has finally returned home."
"Thats wonderful. I'm glad Jared and Riley could work things out. As for my granddaughter, I'm glad she will have a sibling to have in her life. Its just means the Woods bloodline will continue." He says with pride as he gives me a smirk. Over my dead, I will let the Woods bloodline continue.
"Yes, it is wonderful. Your sons are together, which will be easier to kill them. As your bloodline grows, it only makes it more exciting to kill you all off. Starting with your sweet little granddaughter and her sibling." Giving him a sarcastic tone but also very serious. Zyston growls at me, and his smirk disappears. His growl always strike fear into my very being. But I won't let it show. I just got to hold my ground.
"I'm going to kill you witch." He threatens me with promise in his tone. Taking the dagger, I stab him in the gut. Not any spots that could kill him just enough to bring him agonizing pain.
"Yes, I know you keep saying that. But yet you haven't been able to escape from here for a year and half now. Tell me Zyston, why do you keep making promises to me you don't keep?" He was breathing heavily as the poison and salt did its work.
"Believe me, it a promise I will keep." He says through gritted teeth. His eyes shifting into his orange burning coal hybrid eyes.
"Now we can't have you getting strong on me." Grabbing a syringe out of my pocket with wolfbane and dragon root in it. Stabbing him in the neck with it, I inject it, then tossing the needle away. His eyes went back to his sad emerald green eyes. "Thats much better."
Removing the dagger out of his gut and tossing it to the floor. Getting ready to leave, he laughs like a madman. Looking at him like his gone insane. I couldn't figure out what was so funny to him. Sometimes I think his madder than I am.
"Is there something funny?"
"Is that all you got? I have tortured and killed creatures and humans in crueler ways. Then what you put me through." The three snickered at what Zyston had to say. "Do you other three agree with him?"
"Yea, we do." Shiloh says.
"Well, if that is the case, I guess I will have to make the torturing to your liking, Brutus!" I yell for the bull creature. He comes back into the room. "Brutus darling, our guests need a little more active torture. Can you do that?"
He nods his head and moves around in the room. Grabbing some chains, Brutus moves towards Zyston.
"Not him start with the brains of their group." Pointing towards Milo. Brutus moves towards him and begins setting up for Milo's new torture session. "When you're done with him, go for the dumb one, then next choice is yours."
"We will end you!" Gilo yells at me with hate and venom in his voice.
"Oh really? How you plan on doing that? You are all stuck down here where I want you. Thanks to the new king I serve. He has given me everything I need to contain you all. That is until the right time to kill and execute you all. Even that my new king has shown me how it needs to be done."
"New King? Who is your new king?" Shiloh asks me curiously. Zyston stands there observing everything while he huff in pain. That Zyston Woods for you, he always observes.
"Well, it's no other than the lord Hades himself. The one true dark king of hell. He has promised me that if I do his bidding. Then he will grant me internal youth, beauty and power. And after he grants me these things. I will help lead his armies of hell to destroy this world. After we destroy this world, we will continue to the human world. Then many other worlds after that."
"Are you insane? If you bring the Dark God from hell, he will do more than destroy and kill. He will obliviate everything in his path, including you." Milo says with a brief panic in his voice.
I'm fully aware of that. But I have a plan to send the Dark God back to hell. Once he grants me what I want, then I will put my plan into action, for my primary goal is to become the next queen of the kingdoms. Walking back up to Zyston, I put my lips up next to his right ear.
"You have that look again, Zyston. The look when you are trying to figure out my next move. If you're curious, I will just tell you..." As I whisper what my true intention of my plan was. I could tell it was upsetting him. When I was done telling him and look upon his face. It was the look I was hoping for. It was the look when someone truly understands in terror.
Leaving him with his own thoughts to torture him from what I have said. I take my leave and couldn't help laugh on the inside. From his torture heart and soul. I'm hoping what I said will make him find his inner darkness and let it out. The primary aim now is to get him to release that darkness buried with in him.
