_ This voice, is it you, master?
Said MI-GHUMI.
The individual comes closer and removes the bandages from MI-GHUMI's eyes.
MI-GHUMI raises his head and shudders in fear.
MI-GHUMI
: Master Krehaan it's you!!!
The man smiled, he was dressed in a suit, and wore glasses, his pupils were blue and his gaze was mischievous.
He also had a hat on his head.
He steps back and snaps his fingers, a chair appears, he had created a chair before MI-GHUMI's eyes.
He sits down, takes a cigarette from his pocket.
He puts her in the shower and holds out his index finger, which at the end was emitting a small flame, he uses it to light his cigarette.
And then puts his attention back on MI-GHUMI.
Krehaan
: Where is the other guy from last time? Did he at least regain his powers?
MI-GHUMI didn't answer him, she continued to shake like a leaf.
Krehaan frowns and says.
Krehaan
: MI-GHUMI, you know you disappointed me? I didn't expect that you could deceive me like this, by deceiving me, I hope you know that I won't forgive you for this affront and that you will die!
MI-GHUMI widens his eyes and tears flow down his cheeks.
Unable to see what is happening, Ménera said.
Will lead
: What's happening? I don't see anything MI-GHUMI!
Krehaan snaps his fingers and Menera's bandage disappears from her eyes, she was now able to see, she quickly looks at the strange man sitting on a chair, smoking his cigarette.
Menera
: Who are you?
She asks Krehaan.
He smiled and said.
Krehaan
: I am Krehaan, you must be Ménera, nice to meet you!
Menera looks at MI-GHUMI and couldn't help but see that she was crying.
Menera shouted
Menera
: MI-GHUMI, why are you crying? What did you do sir?!
She asks Krehaan.
Krehaan
: Oh, I haven't done anything to her yet, she's just crying because she's going to die soon and so are you!
Menera, surprised, seemed to have lost her voice.
MI-GHUMI took over.
MI-GHUMI
: Don't touch her, Krehaan!
Krehaan looks at MI-GHUMI, he extends his left arm and points his finger which seemed to indicate a direction, which clearly indicated MI-GHUMI's right arm suspended by the chains.
Then, a long needle pierces MI-GHUMI's right arm, a needle as long as a spear.
MI-GHUMI screams in pain, while Ménera trembles, shivers run through her body.
Krehaan
: I call this needle, the devil's kiss, because it is poisoned, it weakens the ligaments, tissues and muscles, your arm will come off after a few hours, you don't mind having one less arm ?!
MI-GHUMI could not answer him, because the pain was simply unbearable, the poison is burning and boils the tissues causing them to explode one by one.
As MI-GHUMI continued to suffer, Krehaan told him.
Krehaan
: MI-GHUMI, do you know what we call (Blodthorn)? Also called the eagle's blood, it was a torture inflicted by the Vikings, this punishment consists of... Hum... Why talk, we might as well show it to you directly!
With a wave of his hand, Krehaan manages to suspend MI-GHUMI from her chains at least 20 centimeters from the ground, he walks slowly behind her and says.
Krehaan
:ahah, good luck to you!
He tears the back of MI-GHUMI's T-shirt with his hands, leaving his back bare.
He then extends his fingers and plants them on MI-GHUMI's back.
She screams even more, Krehaan pushes his fingers into MI-GHUMI's chair and opens her back, then, he manages to hold her sides and pulls them out of their place, breaking MI-GHUMI's ribs which he leaves in the open air, he then plants his hands in MI-GHUMI's lungs and extracts them in turn.
MI-GHUMI could not ignore this pain, and squirmed in all directions although suspended.
Ménera fainted, she was unable to bear what she had just seen.
MI-GHUMI's blood flows freely down his back and onto Krehaan's hands.
Krehaan licks his hands, enjoying MI-GHUMI's blood as a nectar of revenge.
He then walked over to his chair and sat down.
MI-GHUMI was crying, she was not able to survive after this, she knows her time is limited.
Krehaan
: So MI-GHUMI, what you feel hurts?!
MI-GHUMI seemed absent, lost in her agony of suffering, she was not able to listen to him.
Krehaan
: If only you had stayed close to me, if only you hadn't decided to betray me, you wouldn't be here, well, all I have left to do is wait for you to die completely then I would take your soul for ritual, but don't worry, the man from last time will soon join you in the kingdom of the dead, because his time is also limited!
MI-GHUMI bled out, her skin seemed to become bluer, and pale, she was losing too much blood.
MI-GHUMI seemed to be lost now, his cries were no longer by his will but, it seemed like a simple reflex that his body was doing.
MI-GHUMI was in his thoughts, his life flashed by, his memories with Natsa and the others played like a film.
Then, a moment in her story appears, it was for her the moment when it all began.
In a fairly abandoned neighborhood, known to be one of the largest slums in Marlha, not recommended places where insecurity reigns and is in full swing.
Lived a family with little means but happy, with their 3-year-old granddaughter and her 14-year-old big brother.
This little girl was MI-GHUMI, who was waiting for the snack her mother was cooking, while waiting, she watched her big brother sharpen a knife with a file.
_ MI-GHUMI, look how sharp it is, with this, you just have to touch its blade to get a cut!
Little MI-GHUMI tried to take the knife, her big brother took it away from her.
_ No MI-GHUMI, it's dangerous, if I give the knife back like this it's to protect us, not to hurt you with it!
"At the table children!!"
Said MI-GHUMI's mother.
_ Oh.. yes mother!!!
Replies MI-GHUMI's big brother.
_ MI-GHUMI did you hear?! Let's go eat!!
He puts his knife in his pants and lifts MI-GHUMI.
They all ate, without the presence of the father who was absent.
After eating, it's nap time for MI-GHUMI.
She falls asleep.
But that day, she had slept more than usual for a simple digestive nap.
When they woke up, it was dark, completely dark, it was under a flashlight that they were able to illuminate themselves in this house.
MI-GHUMI joins his big brother and his mother who was telling stories.
Her big brother seems to be carried away by it and MI-GHUMI too, she likes it when her mother tells stories.
After that, it was 11 p.m. and we still had to go to bed, but it was different, gunshots echoed from everywhere in the neighborhood.
MI-GHUMI suddenly wakes up.
MI-GHUMI
: What is this ?!
She said.
She sees her big brother running towards her, he picks her up and says.
_ Shut MI-GHUMI, the neighborhood is still being attacked by rich men.
So it wasn't the first time but that evening, the violence took too much scope throughout the entire sector.
MI-GHUMI's mother runs towards her children, hidden in their rooms, she says.
_ The children, they are coming here!!!
MI-GHUMI's father also enters the room.
_ there's no time to waste, we have to escape from here before it's too late!!
But things were already too late.
Boooomm*
The living room door had been broken down by someone.
_ Shit it's them!!
Said MI-GHUMI's father.
He opened the bedroom window and put the children in first, then just as the mother was supposed to follow, a bomb was thrown into the bedroom and a landslide ensued.
Thus nailing the ceiling on the parents who flow immediately.
_Mom, dad!!!
Said MI-GHUMI's big brother.
In the debris, a hand comes out and a head then covered in blood.
He was the father of MI-GHUMI.
_ the children run away, we are already finished, I am no longer able to move my legs, my stomach is crushed luckily you are not able to see that!
He said in a weak voice.
_ but... Dad, I can't leave you like that!!
Shouted MI-GHUMI's big brother.
_ My son, I'm sorry but it's over for us, your mother is already dead, I feel more and more weak, and I don't even feel the pain anymore, run away, watch your little sister and, one last thing , when you arrive at the exit of the neighborhood, look to your left, you will see huge skyscrapers in the distance, take your sister and head there, you will find an orphanage that will be able to support you.
Boomm* another explosion ensues.
_ run away now quickly!!!
Said the father, spitting blood.
MI-GHUMI's big brother, took MI-GHUMI in his arms and slowly backed away, crying.
His father just yelled at him to run away over and over again but the son was in shock.
Then his father smiles at him one last time with MI-GHUMI, before taking another explosion which kills him on the spot.
MI-GHUMI's big brother turns around with her in his arms and runs away with her crying, he kept screaming over and over again while walking away in this nightmarish place.
Without meaning to, he crashes into someone a little further away.
This man was tall and handsome, he had a black jacket and gloves, glasses, blue eyes and hair as black as a starless night.
This gentleman began to smile directly.
_ what do we have here?!
He says.
MI-GHUMI's big brother steps back and says
_ Sorry sir!
He wanted to continue his journey with MI-GHUMI but he was caught.
_ where do you plan to go like that huh?!
Said the man.
MI-GHUMI's big brother drops his sister on the ground, she falls violently and has a nosebleed following the fall.
MI-GHUMI's big brother takes his knife from his pants and tries to hurt the stranger with it.
The stranger drops him directly upon seeing the knife.
_ Wow, the kids have some teeth here!
He then said.
_ no point running away kid, you're all going to die!
MI-GHUMI's big brother gets into a guard position and says to his sister.
_ MI-GHUMI!!!!
MI-GHUMI looks at his brother with blood in his nose and admiration.
_ MI-GHUMI, run, run, I'm going to save time, run, get ahead I'll catch up with you in front!!
MI-GHUMI hesitated.
Then he frowned and shouted.
_ Damn MI-GHUMI don't annoy me, I told you to get out now!!!!
MI-GHUMI turns around and runs away, directly frightened by her brother's threatening tone.
She ran non-stop until around 4 a.m., when she was completely exhausted.
She found a place with lots of corpses, following the massacre, she approached some of them that she found more en masse in a corner.
She lies down among them and falls asleep completely exhausted.
