In the middle of the night, ghostly shadows cast over the deserted, dead forest, the wind slowly crept towards the bright shine from the sky with no stars seen in the sky, the path went deeper into the mysterious woods, in the distance clear howls of wolves could be heard. Leading the way towards a cold mountain Lake enclosed by misty woods and Rocky bluffs, dense haze lurks across the dark.
The trail ends at a lush and green causeway that stretches a hundred yards across the lake, surrounded by dark woods stands as noble black, knights fresh from the fields of legend, site a dark castle on the top of a snowy mountain, releasing the sounds of a plethora of nocturnal ghosts, of they who may move safely within the hug of grey shadowed night, parked near the base of the tower, within sight of the entrance, is a barrel-topped wagon spattered with mud, guarding the creepy Castle were the soldiers, they seemed relaxed yet anxious, They had plenty of weapons to protect them from the danger that dwelled inside the castle, and some of them were standing one above the other on the towering with large iron gates at the entrance followed by the dark tunnel that leads to an ornate room with a spiral staircase ending its way towards the creepy basement with a dungeon on the left with the candles on either side of the walls, to enhance the decoration were the scattered bones and skulls of the people who died previously, and creepy wall drawings, the cell smelled burnt and bloody on the floor were a blood-stained knife and an open book of tarot.
Occult symbols and the walls were filled with talismans, hanging all over the cellar were the coins and bells tied with some strange thread with a Pentagon drawn on the floor using blood. All one could hear were enchants of some spells and all one could see was a lady positioning herself in the middle of the huge bloody Pentagram, dressed in a ragged gown that covered her ankles, her feet tied with huge iron chains that kept her from walking away, her wrist was covered in blood that dripped in the form of droplets through her fingers, with open hairs parted on either side of her shoulders, her rotating head prevented one from getting a clear picture of her face, it looked as though she was performing some kind of a creepy & scary ritual.
It was hard for one to figure out her exact words and moments. The next minute the lady went berserk and started yelling like crazy, only with a good hearing ability one could tell her / follow her talks/words.
"They… … th… they… . Surely…Will… Ppp… … pppay… . Pay… for their actions… Ehhh!!! Putting her head behind she laughed like a maniac, " You…all…. Played… me... Dirty... Just wait for what is yet to come… . ",
" Hahahaha!!!! '' Raising her hands, she clenched her fist over her face letting the blood color her beauty. Or ugliness, releasing her first she looked around, her eyes weren't matching, the right eyeball was entirely red while the other was pitch black, it was hard to look through her face since it was all covered with blood and the picture was perfectly scary, grabbing the nearby knife she without hesitant she started drawing a Pentagram on her pam.
" No no you shouldn't have done that to me" … none of you is an innocent soul…You all harassed evil in your hearts for me and hatred in your eyes, I was but a child in a unique way you had no right to declare me a monster or a mystic witch.
While talking she brought her palm towards her night eye with an instant stare, her palm lit up exhibiting blue flames,
" Haha!!! Yes yes, this is what I want…Now you will suffer under my curse for ages, your ignorance and fun ruined my childhood, your evil ideas destroyed my youth, and did any of you just stopped there?? " A painful tear escaped her eye. She continued staring at her palm, the blue flame now acted like a crystal ball, and though it was seen a beautiful village surrounded by enchanting scenery, just like any normal village in the world, kids were playing around, adults were farming, trading and the elderly wise people sat their narrating bunch of legendary stories and advising youngster.
All of their attention was suddenly shifted towards the rising noises that came from the playing spot of their kids, people started gathering to see the scene. All stood against this young little girl who was under attack of stones from the mischievous kids. She was but an adorable little girl wearing a sheath dress that was torn from all sides and stitched, her slightly wavy red hair resting on her shoulders.
Her milky white skin was covered in bruises biting her cherry-colored lips she tried to control the tears that were rolling down her cheeks, someone among the crowd questioned.
"Don't you get tired of this? Why do you even come here, nasty little beast?"
The girl innocently looked up to the tall people standing on the opposite side, clutching her dress in her hand she Innocently answered.
"I… .. I… . . Come here to play and eat some food, I am hungry" Biting her lips she adorably wiped her tears away with her bruised little tiny hands.
"Why don't you pluck that red cherry from your eye and eat it ",
" Oh! Yes! Yes, aren't you a monster?
"How can you get hungry?"
"Wait!!! You won't die anyway out of starvation, because you are a scary little witch".... Crowd started laughing
" Get away from here" Saying the little kid continued showering stones on her.
"Die you little monster witch " Die! Die!
The girl covered her face trying to avoid the stones, next moment she felt everything was paused, no stones were being thrown at her. She felt a pair of warm hands embarrassing her in a protective hug. She anxiously opened her eyes to find a lady in her 30s dressed in a worker's uniform. Her hair tied in a scarf knelt down and embraced her. She was all teary, holding the little girl. She consoled her " It's okay honey I am here you don't have to worry" Saying this the lady stood up, hiding the girl behind her. She yelled at the crowd "Are you even humans?
"Oh! I doubt that you are! Calling her a monster yet acting as one". She is just like any other child of yours out there, she gets hungry, she feels sick, she can feel pain, she cries, laughs, she resembles each kid of yours, how is she a monster just because she is unique doesn't mean you all could treat her this way, " Saying this the lady lifted the girl in her arms and walked away, entering a small house that was covered by palm tree leaves & branches the lady made her sit on a slightly cracked wooden cot. She went around to fetch a small bowl of soup and bread along with it. She carried a water tub and medicines, helping the little girl clean up.
She gently applied medicines all over her bruises while calmly blowing at them " Are you okay? She questioned while feeding her", the girl nodded in agreement, the lady smiled at the little girl & continued.
"you are so pretty", what is your name child?"
The little girl's face shrank at the question, she paused for a while and answered
" I don't have one" Sadness creeps over the worker lady's face,
" Ah! Ha, no worries about … .. Um, we call you" Naomi Adira " Which means Pleasentful beauty, the girl Smiled at the lady while the lady looked at her in a daze, wondering if anyone ever had shown this kind of mercy to her?
Days passed and the little girl was no longer hungry, Yes! Sometimes but not starving at least as before. Under the love and care of the lady, Naomi now felt the warmth of love and concern. She used to defend her, care for her, and stitch new clothes for her, were the villages at peace?
No, they sure were troublemakers, but Naomi was less harmed now, she had a guardian, Years later Naomi grew up to be an incredibly pretty young lady with those magical eyes and unmatched kindness that she learned from the lady, finally the day that was anticipated by the villagers and feared by the worker lady arrived. She was chosen by the Royal Highness to provide service and take care of the princess. She had to leave Naomi.
Since Naomi had no friends in her childhood and spent most of her time in a deserted Forest, Due to the super strange powers Naomi possessed, one day a wild beast chased Naomi faced to a dead end, the little kid was scared to death when the beast frantically approached In a coincidence their eyes locked, next moment the beast was sitting beside Naomi waiting for her order, Naomi slowly put her hand forward and touched the beast to her surprise, he didn't react, since then all the spirit beasts and wild creatures to the wall were the subordinates of Naomi, people of the "Caizan" Village were too scared of her, the day came when "Mewari" The lady had to leave Naomi due to Royal orders by" his highness", She suggested the villager to not harm Naomi & let her live her life.
"Mewari's" Father was a renowned iron Smith and head of the village and her husband was a ferocious hunter, so the villagers refused to harm her, now that she'll be gone for good, will they let this opportunity slip the forever waiting wish? Of torturing/killing Naomi? Soon the day of departure arrived, Mewari was heartbroken to the core. She felt a thousand arrows being stabbed all over the pairs of departure was unbearable To Naomi, she wasn't afraid of the villagers but Mewari, separating from Mewari was her worst nightmare and now it was turning into reality.
Naomi refused to leave Mewari after a long episode of crying and consoling. She finally left Naomi under the cave of her sister "Merlin'' Days passed by Naomi wasn't cheerful or happy as she use to be, absence of Mewari in her life had a "sick to death " Kind of impact on Naomi "Merlin wasn't the same as her sister, she was a careless and rude person. She started hitting Naomi on her silly mistakes, in midnight She used to send Naomi to fetch some wine from the wine house that was but a den of perverted men, who carry no mercy or humanity.
Her life became no less than a hell that no sinner deserved, no matter what sin they committed, in the case of Naomi it was always the opposite, being called a "Monster" She always was kind & humble and the humans behaved worse than "Monsters". They humiliated her, killed her, burnt her, ripped apart her dignity, and pride & turned her into what she is today, tears rolled down uncontrollably, blowing away the flames, she closed her eyes and said,
"I'm not the one to break my vow, they are all to be blamed for their actions " As her memories triggered, she started enhancing spells crazily, and in the mishap, she recited the wrong spell, a minute later the wind went crazy and the howl of wolves made one go deaf, the lightning was scary, Guards thought it might rain heavy & went inside the tower & locked themselves as Naomi was locked in the basement, her screams weren't able to reach the top, hence she rather than chanting curse spell, she misread it & brought death on herself with a "thud" Her body touched the cold ground & Naomi stayed there Lifelessly…
