Princess Anastasia continues to run as she tries to leave the temple but discovered she couldn't find her way out. She freaks out. What's going on?! I thought it was just one exit that leads out of this temple, how come there're so many exits? I need to find my way out of here before those witches come for my head. It's so dark, I can hardly see a thing. She glances around to see if she could find a light spot or perhaps a lamp, she could use to find her way around. Anastasia almost screamed out in fright as she sees a strange figure pointing a magical shining object at her. I'm sorry if I've frightened you, princess. The stranger tries to calm her down. Anastasia surprised. How do you know who I am and what exactly is that you're holding? She pointed curiously at the shining object in the lady's possession. The strange lady replied. My name is Diana, 'the daughter of the great warlord, Lord Oliver'. I'm a witch apprentice and use to be a worshipper in this temple. This white shining object is a magical crystal ball which can ward off evil spirits and scary ghosts. It was given to me by my mistress right before she was killed by the people who worshipped in this temple. They sacrificed her to their god 'Atheist'.
Why will they do such horrible thing? That's barbaric. Diana answered. Long before this temple was built, there was an evil witch called 'Athena'. She brings terror to the people of the land. Just because she was so powerful and terrifying, she forces the people of the land to sacrifice their children and wives to her, and uses their blood to become even more stronger and powerful. She even went as far as committing unimaginable atrocities by killing the sacred dragon that save guard the energy force of the people. Once the dragon was gone, Athena became even more dangerous and heartless. The people knew at that instant they had to do something about her evil reign unless, there will no longer be a town to protect. They secretly built this temple without her knowledge and they carved a golden image known as Atheist, 'the god of revenge'. They prayed to their god to get rid of the evil witch, 'Athena' and in return, they will sacrifice all her offspring and entire clan to him. Finally, a breakthrough came, as they lured Athena into the temple in pretense, they were going there to worship her and adore her with gifts and offerings but unknowingly, that was the day she was going to be executed and her head be put on the stake for the eagles to feast on.
She entered the temple as arrows kept flying from all direction as they aimed towards her. She was stabbed by one of the town's warriors and eventually collapsed to the ground bringing an end to her evil reign. I guess she deserved what she got. Said Anastasia. How do we get the hell out of here then? By the way, don't tell me you're also trapped here to be sacrificed as well? Diana answered. I guess you're right. she smiled faintly. An apprentice to a witch is also a witch. When the people raided my mistress store house, she made a telepathy spell that allowed me escape but not enough for her to escape too. So, she was captured. Your mistress is a good witch, I must confess. She sacrificed herself for you to escape safely. Not all witches are that nice. Anastasia said. My aunt is a witch who I hate the most in the world. She's the reason why I've been living with a terrible illness since my 18th birthday. Now, I don't know how it feels like anymore to live a proper life. I ran away from home because of my resentment towards my family but now, I'm stuck in a cursed temple. I guess my fate isn't so lucky anymore. Diana assures her. Don't worry Princess. We will surely find our way out. How do you know I'm a Princess? Anastasia asked. Have you forgotten I'm a witch apprentice. Diana smiled. I guess you are. She replied her. You're save for now Princess. This Crystal will shield you from all scary ghost. Just stay with me while we figure out how to find our way out of the temple. Anastasia smiled. I don't feel alone why I have a company like you, Diana.
I'm glad you're here. By the way, won't the worshippers of this temple get angry when they see us inside the temple? Won't they think we're intruders? Diana replied. Trust me, the worshippers don't show up until it's time to sacrifice a witch they've captured to their gods. Almost immediately, they heard a loud noise like a door being cracked open. Anastasia exclaimed. I think the noise is coming from the entrance..... She tries to run towards the entrance as Diana quickly stopped her. What if they're the worshippers of the temple? We can't just run into their arms without a vivid plan. What do we do then? Anastasia started to panic as the foot steps of their supposed enemies seems to be getting closer towards their direction.
