"Everyone halt!" A booming voice echoed like a rumble of loud thunder.
The cloaked people, scurried to the center of the clearings as if their lives were depending on it. Some even tripped but others ignored them and even trampled upon them as they rushed towards the center.
The land started to tremble as Malaya took hold of the rock so that she won't fall down.
A small stage made of hard earth was starting to form at the very center of the clearing.
"Everyone, it's been a while."
The color of the fire began to change into violet, making the surroundings look even more sinister.
"We greet you, our Queen." All the cloaked people kneeled and chanted in unison.
'That person!' Malaya's eyes widened. Darn. And again she cursed her fate. 'The witch. What is she doing here.'
Donned with a red fitted dress, her face remained scalded but in addition, there was now a black eye patch on her left eye. She looked more sinister than before.
