Chapter 8 - Chapter 6

They flew for hours without stopping hoping to lose the valoyees in case more had followed them. They were all silent and did not say anything to each other as they were all in deep thought. Wanday was afraid of the rage she had seen in her sister's eyes and she feared she would do the unthinkable. Sharay only thought of how to kill the valoyees for her mother's death. Stories she grew up hearing and laughing about the valoyees and their evilness had turned out to be true. She had witnessed it with her mother and all she wanted was to destroy them. Often her hair would glow and her eyes would shine. She would hold her sister's hand when she grew weary like that. Tafuh had a duty to protect and continue training the queens for battle. Wanday had never held a weapon before in her life but Tafuh felt the queen couldn't just rely on her powers only but also learn to fight. They stopped in the mountains in the far east to rest and eat. Sharay held the sword she had taken from the valoyee warriors and started sharpening it. "We have to look for the golden sword before Diablo and his people get it your highness.", Tafuh told the queens. Sharay sighed and she asked, "What is the importance of the sword anyway?" Tafuh paced up and down, she smiled to the queen and replied, "It is a gift from the god. It was touched and blessed by the gods and it has been hidden for centuries. The bow and arrow that is hidden with it are of great power." Sharay laughed in sarcasm as she continued to sharpen her newly found sword. Wanday and Tafuh could see her lack of faith in the gods and it worried them. "You don't believe in the gods do you my queen?", Tafuh asked Sharay. Sharay continued sharpening her sword and didn't reply anything. She didn't believe in the gods, the agasians being the chosen people or her being the destined warrior queen of Agasah. However she believed in her revenge of killing Diablo and tearing down everything he had ever built and loved because he had done the same thing to her. "She is not on a quest to free the people of Agasah, she is on a quest for vengeance.", Wanday explained. Tafuh looked amazed by this and Sharay was irritated. "Would you stop with this mind reading thing Wanday! It annoys me!",Sharay snapped. Wanday looked at her sister and she replied, "I didn't but I just guessed. You are not going to let this go are you Sharay? Mother would have wanted you to…",she answered her sister back but was cut by Sharay, "Mother is dead! She is dead and its all because your stupid people of Agasah believed I could save them and that Diablo came after her! So yes I will kill him and I wont stop until he has paid. As for your gods damn them and I hate them!" She was filled with so much rage and pain. Her hair and eyes glowed as she screamed at her sister. Wanday stood there and she didn't say a thing for a moment. Tafuh intervened and said, "Nadine wouldn't want this for you. The empress believes in you this is why she placed your people in your hands. Sharay laughed and she replied Tafuh, " I didn't want mother to die but she did anyway and as for your empress I don't know her and she is not my mother!" She said with a lot of pain and anger. She walked away from her sister and Tafuh who just looked at her with so much worry. Wanday held Tafuh hand and just gave her a look of assurance that her sister would be okay. However deep inside she knew this wasn't true at all. She knew her sister was not going to be fine and that she had to consult with that woman from the dungeons how to help her sister. She walked away towards the east and she sat down and prayed. She asked the gods to guide her to Ammara and they did.

Ammara sat there praying for the spirit of Nadine to have a safe passage to the after world. She had felt the pain and rage of the queen the moment Nadine had passed away and she had received a vision of Sharay glowing and cold. She sat there wondering how the two queens were holding up. In that very moment a faint light began to shine bright in her dungeon cell and behold Wanday stood in front of her. She marveled at the sight of the young queen and she threw herself to the ground. "My queen is that really you or am I having a vision?", she asked the queen. Wanday was excited that it had worked she kept clapping her own hands. " Oh yes it is Wanday. I asked the gods to grant me a passage to you and it worked.", she replied. Ammara lifted her head and she saw the queen had so many troubling questions on her mind. "What troubles you my queen? Is it about your sister?", she asked her. Wanday nodded and she sat down and asked, "When I had a vision of my sister and the red haired girl, Sharay was cold and after our mother's death she has become cold. She is filled with rage and I don't know how to help her." Ammara looked at the queen, she held her hands and smiled. "You are her anchor you can bring her back when she loses it. However Nadine was her other anchor and her death has brought her so much pain but she will have to get out that pain by herself." Wanday looked confused by all this and she asked, "I don't understand, what do you mean?" Ammara smiled to the queen and replied, "Sharay has to find herself back to Nadine. She ahs to remember what she was like and what she wanted for her. if she fails to she will be consumed by rage and shall be lost to us all." Wanday wanted to know if that was the reason why her sister was cold but time ran out and she was back in the far east. She knelt again and prayed but this time the gods didn't grant her passage to Ammara. Sharay stood behind,shook her head and clicked the tongue as she walked away from her sister. Wanday wondered how Sharay would ever find her way back to Nadine for she was already dead. Why was she cold? This confused her a lot she dragged her feet back to the fire and slept next to her sister. Ammara felt joy ibn her heart for meeting one of the queens. She looked just like her mother and had a heart of gold. She was everything she had hoped for and she was more than pleased to leave her gifts to such a wonderful woman. However she worried about Sharay who had been filled with so much rage and hate. She wanted to avenge her mother's death and kill diablo but she also wanted to destroy Agasah because she blamed it for her mother's death. She hoped and prayed the young queen would find herself again.

Shekah got back to Agasah soaked in blood, he fell to the ground and begged for the black sorcerer to kill him. Amandla stoodby and watched all of this and as the black sorcerer was about to kill her she walked towards him and she whispered, "We don't have to kill him do we now? He might be useful in the future so take him away and get him a physician" She walked away and the black sorcerer followed her behind. She was envious of the white haired witch and she wanted to become as powerful as she was. The black sorcerer had seen her ambitions and he knew she would ensure a future for them in the three realms. "So she is powerful I hear? She glows like the sun Shekah said to you black sorcerer.", she said as she walked around the gardens. She was full of herself and she had a proud soul. She didn't see herself beneath anyone except her father but the black sorcerer saw her ambitions placing her above Diablo. "By the way why don't you have a name black sorcerer is such a ridiculous name don't you think?", she proudly asked him. He smiled and replied, "Do you want to be as powerful as her my queen?" She had this smug look on her face as she looked at him and replied, "More powerful than her I guess that's what you meant! I want to be more powerful than her do you understand me?" He laughed and held her hand in his, kissed her and replied, "Oh yes I understood you my queen. After my fall from the heavens no one gave me a name they just called me black sorcerer." He told her the truth. She took his face in her hands and she shook her head. "No one should be nameless. I will think of a suitable name for you my friend." She told him and both of them laughed. He would perform a ceremony of black magic to make her as strong as he thought Sharay was. They went deep into the forest and a pure virgin from the people of Agasah was taken with them. He tied her to a tree, lit a fire and undressed the queen. He uttered words in an ancient language and when the moon was shining it's brightest he took the knife and stabbed the virgin girl in the heart. He cut her heart out and gave it to the queen to embrace as he sprinkled the girl's blood on her. The heavens became dark, crows begun to fly and fill the skies, the winds blew harder and the fire flames grew. Ammara looked at this from her window and this made her tremble. From the far east both queens stood and watched this. "What on earth is happening Wanday?", Sharay asked her sister. She stood still and she replied, "The order of nature has been broken and it has all begun Sharay. The black sorcerer has created another queen to take up his quest and he used black magic." Ammara and Wanday knew that this would change everything. This was not what they had anticipated and they both knew with the use of black magic the veil between Agasah and the human world had been torn. This would make it easy for the valoyees to bring corrupted humans to Agasah and create an arm and it would also make it easy for Diablo to full take over the two realms. Their hope lied with Sharay. She was the only one who could mend this veil and destroy this red haired queen. Amandla rose to have deep red hair that glowed, she was dressed in a black costume and her eyes were deep black. She felt the power flow in her body and she was ready to become the queen of Agasah. She looked at the black sorcerer and smiled with so much joy. She walked up to him took his face into her hands kissed him and said, "I will call you Arub. Arub you shall be called." She had become everything Arub had wanted her to become and together they would rule Agasah. Diablo didn't know how his most trusted servant would betray him and he continued trusting his so called daughter and sorcerer who would take him out.

Sharay was getting impatient and wanted to find the golden sword, bow and arrows sooner. She grew anxious and wanted to kill Diablo and his valoyees sooner. Wanday kept telling her sister that she was the hope of everyone but Sharay blinded by her rage she didn't listen or believe her sister. "I told you the veil has been torn, this will allow mortal humans to come tour world. They need you like the people of Agasah need you and if you don't do anything about it both realms will be at the mercy of Amandla, Diablo and the black sorcerer.", Wanday would constantly remind her sister. Sharay was irritated by her sister and she often wanted to run away and leave her with the warrior behind. "Wanday I told you already I do not intend to become anyone's savior. I just want that red head, her petty sorcerer and father dead.", she would clap back at her sister. They would argue all day about this and would not reach a consensus. They had to get the sword before Amandla got her hands before them. " I thought you said the sword was only meant for the people of Agasah and anyone who wasn't them couldn't get the sword?", Sharay asked her sister and Tafuh when they grew wary with each day. Wanday looked at her sister in disbelief and replied, "Have you been listening at all Sharay? Amandla is from Agasah practically she is our sister because she is both Harunah and Nadine's daughter."Sharay laughed, she found this funny and she replied back, "Well except I am not Harunah's daughter, I only had one mother which makes that witch not my sister." She walked away from her sister who looked at her with so much amazement. They still had to get to the sword before Amandla did because that was the only thing that could kill her. as the trio went on their way to find the golden sword Amandla and Arub set leave and find the sword first. They wanted to get their hands on the weapons that could kill anyone first and this pleased Diablo because he thought they were doing this for him. Arub, Amandla and a few warriors travelled to the far east in search of the sword. They knew they would find the sisters there and they would kill the white haired witch and bring the other witch to Agasah. "To whoever finds the sword first I shall reward handsomely but to who brings the white head to me I shall honor!", she promised her warriors before they set off. The warriors beat the drums and ululated with joy. They were all excited to bring the head of the white head to their queen. They left Agasah in search of the sword and the queens. Amandla wanted to kill her enemies before they would cause trouble for her. She would become the queen of Agasah no matter what.
