Chereads / The Flame of Phonix / Chapter 20 - 20.

Chapter 20 - 20.

General martin was very curious about the mysterious woman that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He wanted to meet that woman as soon as possible . So he was preparing to set out for weapon factory in the morning. But when he saw that urgent report from border on his table, he had to postpone his idea with a sigh. He opened the report and the number of sigh increased. It was stating that King of Cercious was apporaching towards this empire with his aim to unify the land and announce him as the one and only emperor of this land.

" What a bold move ! He approached the biggest empire in first place. If he wins then he will be the only emperor with just one war. Even if he doesn't win it can scare the small kingdoms. Then he will catch them when they are scared. In that moment we won't be able to help them cause we will be building our own country then. Only if we had a capable emperor. The emperor is busy indulging himself. He is definetely not in a position to lead in this dire situation. We actually don't have that much power that we show off. What to do? Also why that king started this quest now? Everything is messy. Is that woman any how connected to this?"

General martin knew no matter how much he wants to meet her its not possible. He has to start preparing for war now. "You are lucky ,women."

General didn't have any idea he was thinking of a unlucky person who just landed and got enslaved. Even if she is not lucky ,she was courageous at least. Otherwise she couldn't have think of doing something that risky in her current situation.

When I returned to that hall at night ,I already had two stolen things with me. Some rope and a white cloth. When I returned nothing was changed. No one came forward to talk to me except one hundread thirty. They were not even curious about what I was going to do with these two things. No one was talking with anyone . This torture camp successfuly broke their unity to avoaid future rebellion. " Great!"

"What will you do with these?" One hundread thirty asked with curiosity. I looked at her wondering how did she manage to save her human emotions? "Come ,let me tell you the plan. You will help me."

I described her whole plan . "Are you really going to do it?If anything goes wrong you will be killed."

"Someone has to do something. Looking at them,I don't think they can do anything. Anyway will you tell me why you aren't like them? Why you still have human emotion unlike them?"

One hundread thirty thought for a long time. Then she slowly said," I don't know. Maybe because I am being treated slightly well than them. That's why."

"Then why they treat you better?"

"I don't know."

I suddenly understood she was telling the truth. Of course she was treated better than others. Otherwise she should have been killed by that crazy emperor considering her beauty. But why would they do it? Why?

I started my plan after dinner. After dinner time the guards put off the lamps hanging from the ceiling. After everything became dark I started doing it.I still had a pencil torch and a lighter in my inner pocket. When I turned on my torch for the first time I saw curiosity on their face.

"They haven't lost it completely! It's really great!" I thought myself. I didn't want to touch that corpse but I had no choice.The corpse was hanged by a rope. I untied the rope and brought it down. After that I climed that rope to get to the hanging lamps. My hands were injured. But I forgot that I had a stitch on my left arm in the midst of all these. When I started climbing I felt a sharp pain. When I reached the ceiling I drained out all oil from the lamps and let it flow in the circle frame of the lamp. Then I carefully put a small candle in the midst of that. I lit up that candle with lighter.After that I climbed down and hanged up the corpse again. One hundread thirty was holding the torch whole time. I tied the lamp rope and the corpse rope together and connected it with the door. I already did the calculations. Now I need some gurds to get in. I decided to bring some ghost here now to lure them in.

"Thanks for your help ,One.Your name is too long so just one.Ok ,Now go and sit. I will start my acting."

"Ok."

I gathered my strength and shouted, " Ghost!!! there is a ghost! Is anyone out there?"

I kept shouting and making many noises. When the guards opened the door to see what happened everything happened as I wanted.

When the door was opened, the lamp was shaken and the lamp was on fire. Then it touched the corpse and the corpse was on fire. They were too shocked to understand what happened and froze there. But the corpse that was hanging the corpse was burned and it was about to fall on a guard. When the scene started, everything was in chaos and everyone was frightened. Everyone was running . I planned to take advantage of this and do more ghost scene but the guard was in danger. Its not that I was sympathetic to that guard, rather it would be great if he died. But if that happenes ,they may launch a strict investigation that I want to avoaid.These petty tricks will be easily found if investigated seriously. So the best thing I can do is to save that guard. I pushed him on the ground. That corpse fell just beside us. It was very risky. I would have been burned if I was One second late. My heart started beating fast from fear.

"Are you alright?" ,that guard asked me.

I was really confused to hear that. Aren't they supposed to be hostile to us? Then why does he ask me so politely? No time to think. I need to get into my role and act frightened.

"Y...ye...yes."

After a long time chaos everything was finally back to order. My plan was half successful. I intened to go out in this chaos and search the whole place. Because I saved that guard my plan was interrupted.

The supervisor came and asked everyone,"What happened here? If I don't get a suitable answer I will hang everyone there."

I looked at everyone. They were all shievering. They fear this person so much. There's no turning back. Since I started this ,I have to finish it. I raised up my hand.

"What do you want?"

"Supervisor, I want to tell what happened here."

"Tell."

"We were all sleeping after the light was off. Suddenly I heared a noise from the direction that corpse was hanged. I saw.... I saw....saw..."

"What did you see?"

"It was horrible . The corpse was ... that corpse was eating itself!! When I went near it it asked me to give it food. I couldn't utter a word . Then that corpse said... said .. it would kill and eat those who hanged her. Then I screamed with all my courage. When they intered the corpse suddenly caught fire and all that happened."

I looked at him trying to understand whether he bought my ghost story or not. It sounded so silly to me though. When I was trying to understand his thoughts he said ," So you saw a ghost right?"

"Yes."

"Is there anyone who saw what she is saying?"

Everyone was quiet. It was natural. I was in a dangerous situation.

"Can you tell me why should I believe you when no one is uttering a single word?"

His voice was so cold. I thought my silly acting gave me up already. But then I thought I had to see through it.I gathered my courage.

" Let's start next part of my plan."

"No one is saying anything because they didn't see it." I said it with a great risk.

"What do you mean?"

"Mr.Supervisor, I am new here. I was brought here forcefully. But that's not my point. My point is I have psychic power. I can see what other's cann't. Before I came here I learned how to do exorcism. So I can see them .I can also see that all the evil spirit is roaming here. You hanged their corpse without burying it. That made them unable to rest in peace. So they are all gathering together. Soon they will break their spirit seal and harm you. Today's incident was just a sign of breaking their seal. Soon they will hunt you down if you don't exorcise."

"Are you telling the truth?"

"If you don't believe me you can wait and see. You should have buried them instead of hanging them and insulting them. Soon their grievance will lead.."

"Ok. Can you do what was that.. yes exorsim?"

"Yes. I can. First there should be no hanging from now on. we will bury them properly.It would be best if you don't kill anyone. There are so many evil souls. Killing will only add fuel to fire. Stop killing untill I purify this place."

The supervisor looked at me for a long time . I thought I gave myself away. Then he said," I cann't stop the killing because the emperor needs black haired women for his game. As for burying properly.... I will take care of that. And you ,start puryfiying . Also if I find out you lied to me ....the consequences will be dire."

The supervisor went out without another word. But so far it was my first victory after coming in this world . I looked at everyone. I thought they lost their emotins. But they were happy! They started to come to me. They came to get familliar with me. They all had a number not name.

"Why do you all call each other with number?It's boring."

"What can we do? No one gave us any name."

"We will give each other names. Lets do our name giving ceremony.One hundread thirty ,come here."

She was standing all this time far away like she was outcasted.When I called her she came to me.

"One hundread thirty , May I have the honour to give you a name?",I asked formally.

She just looked at me. After some time of silence, she suddenly started crying.

"What happened?Why are you crying?"

"I am just so happy. Yes. Please give me a name."

"Ok. Then I will give you a name. What name should I give you?Ummm...yes...you are the most beautiful women I had ever seen. You held the light when I was doing my work just like the northern light once showed me way when I was lost. From now on You will be my sister, Aurora. " Aurora embraced me. Everyone was busy giving each other name.I suddenly felt like I was one of them and they were like my family. I lost my family in other world but I got one here. They were more pathetic and miserable. I decided to protect them with whatever I have.This time I must protect them well.
