Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 Amaris past(part1)

Dark Solomon family, a family that has been in the world for thousands of years, atleast that what people believe. After all if someone were to go back for thousands years in the past, they could still find the traces of Dark Solomon family in the walls of their sacred temples and in their history books too.

The crest of the Dark Solomon family is a mystical creature called Dark phoenix glowing with it's dark glowing feathers.

The family is also has a unique nickname Family of Gods, because it the only family with the oldest history, this family also has witness the rise and fall of several empires and nations.

Now one might say 'How can this family leave for so long ?'

Well that is something no one was able to answer, after all those who has the answer were already dead.

But their is also another question 'For a family to have lived for so long, it must have been powerful, if so how ?'

Well answer is Dragons, that's right Dragons. The members of the Dark Solomon family were able to tame the mighty and prideful Dragons, a weapon of mass destruction. A weapon more powerful then a nuclear missile.

A Dragon could live up to atleast 500 hundreds of years, some says that only because of the Dragons that the family was able to stay in power, but the only a few peoples that are at power knows that it is not the whole truth.

(After all Dragons were not the only one's, their was someone or something that has protected the family for generations.)

Being born in the Dark Solomon family was the Dream of everyone, just imagine your life when your family literally controls the world.

Power, Status, and Money, you can have everything you want with just the name of your family and wherever you go people will bow in your presence as if you are a god.

Even if you killed or massacre innocent peoples, the government and the people would not blame you instead they will praise you for your good deed.

That's the kind of power the Dark Solomon family held in the world and ofcourse in Dream realm too.

But one thing people don't know and that is, that those kind of luxury is only for those members that are strong or will become strong in the future.

Your talent will determine your future and status in the family. If your not talented enough or meet the expectation of the family head, you will meet the fate far worse then death.

And unfortunately for Amaris she was consider in the latter category.

Amaris was the child of second wife of her father, her mother name was Elizabeth dark Solomon, she died while giving birth to her, atleast that what she has heard from her nanny.

After the death of her mother, her nanny took care of her and she also teaches Amaris how to read and write, her childhood could have been a good one if not for her aunt the first wife of her father, who despise her very presence to the point she even tried to kill to Amaris, by throwing her in the swimming pool. 

The first wife name was Tatiana dark Solomon.

Tatiana never like Amaris because she was the child of her little sister who she hated to her very core. She even instructed her children's (Amaris step brother and step sister) to stay away from her, as if she was a disease. She even go as far as to kill the nanny that took care of Amaris, leaving her all alone.

Amaris was just a 4 years old child at that time, she was really sad about the death of her nanny who took care of her like a mother and she doesn't even know who killed her at that time.

And even if she knows she couldn't do anything as she was just a child at that time. A child with no personal power.

But things started to get bad when she turned 5 years old, her step sister Caroline who without any meaning stated to abused her daily.

She stated doing things like burning her favorite dress, poring hot water on her skin when she was asleep, or sometimes putting a dead animal in front of her room, to scare her.

Amaris tried to get pay her sister back for what she did, but her plans would always back fire on her, because her step sister and step brother were given personal guards who guarded them 24 hours.

 

After seeing that nothing was working in her favor, she tried complain about Caroline and Tatiana to her father who was the head of the family at that time and also the king, but ofcourse he didn't listen to her plea as he just said.

"Deal with it yourself."

To Amaris his words sounded cold and harsh, that night she cried a lot in her room not being aware of the fact that, that's how the things were done in her family.

5 years have passed after that incident

Not much things have change.... instead it got lot more worse. Tatiana has taken all the monthly allowance that Amaris was supposed to get for her personal expenses, Tatiana also make sure that Amaris doesn't get more then one meal a day.

Amaris also didn't got any tutors, because of the Tatiana, her bitch of a aunt makes sure that Amaris didn't learn anything. All the things Amaris learn was from self-taught.

But that's not all

She had even thrown Amaris out of her room and put her in the basement of the castle, a place only for the prisoners.

Where she was locked up in one of the cell, and sometimes she would get torture by Caroline. 

Caroline also has increase the amount of beating she inflected upon Amaris.

She would beat her up daily, using Amaris as her personal punching bag, she would also stab her with swords using her as a testing dummy, one time she also shave off Amaris head, that time Amaris finally lost her sanity and tried to fight back only to get one sided beating from her sister, well that was to be expected as Amaris haven't receive any proper training on how to fight, while her sister got to learn from the best instructor.

Because of the fight Amaris started (according to Caroline and some fake witness she created) Amaris got punish for actions, when she tried to defend herself but only to get a slap in the face by her aunt, the family head didn't listen to her little nonsense rumbling, as he just told his wife to decided her punishment, since he have more important things to deal with.

The punishment she received was standing in the heavy rain for 5 hours, on the roof of the castle without a single piece of clothes on.

It was really humiliating experience for her, considering she was only 10 years old at that time, but what made Amaris really angry was the smirk on her (soon-to-be-dead) sister face.

After that incident Amaris tried to kill herself but if seems like someone or something was keeping her alive.

And it finally break her mentality, when she saw that she can't even kill herself.

With a broken mind, body and a family which didn't care about her, Amaris has nowhere to go.

She even tried to run away from the castle not knowing that their was a rule in the family that no members can leave the castle, when they are underage, they can only leave when they turned 18.

Amaris was caught by her sister, who quickly reported it to her mother.

At that time the head of the family was not present so the one who carry out the punishment was Tatiana the false queen.

And the punishment she give Amaris for breaking the rule was.

Punishment:{{Amaris was torture for 6 week straight, the torture she received was, burned alive for 7 hours, put in the freezing chamber for 7 hours, getting her back skin removed by a rusted knife, got stabbed by thousand swords while some were covered in deadly poison, her eyes were removed or plucked out forcefully, her nipples were also cut, after cutting her nipples, Tatiana feed those nipples to Amaris also making sure she eats it, but the thing that hurt Amaris the most was the Pear of anguish, it also destroyed her uterus now she can't even give birth according to her Aunt Tatiana. When she head the news that she can't even become a mother, she lost her mind and become a broken doll. And that was the last day her punishment ends.}}

After this punishment she lost the feeling of pain making her unable to feel pain, which greatly annoyed her sister Caroline, this also lead her to stopped beating Amaris daily when she saw the emotionless look on her sister face, after all who would like to play with a broken toy.

5 years have passed. 

So many things have changed, both Caroline and her brother have completed their nightmare and have Awakend divine aspect, they were able to complete their nightmare in 3 days earning a nickname twin prodigy, While Amaris on the other hand took full 1 month to complete her nightmare, also earning a disappointing gaze form her father.

Not like she cared for his reaction at all, she knows that her father doesn't care weather she live or she die. Since she is consider a failure in his eyes.

We could now see Amaris 15 years old, her frame thin for a child of her age, her purple eyes dull without any emotion into them, pale face because of the lack of sunlight and shrunken cheek which clearly shows that she was not being feed well, her unkempt short purple hair that barely even reach her shoulders, even the short white dress she wore was not tidy it look like it has not been wash for years.

In her thin boney arms their were small and deep cut, which looks like it was made with a knife, it seems like she was harming herself.

Right now she was walking down the long hallways, their was some burn marks on her face and neck, half of her hairs was also burned, reveling the white skin of her head, their was also three deep cut in her legs, which wasn't even bandage up properly.

Even her dirty white dress was also toned from the sides reveling her burned skin.

Just now she has return from a ceremony, that everyone in their family is supposed to go. It was the Dragon taming ceremony, in which direct descended of the family has to pick up a Dragon when they turned 15, well her sister and brother were able to tame powerful dragons, considering the training they received in their childhood, while she on the other hand only knows the information about the dragons from the books she has read on the library, but their was no mention on how to tame a dragon.

The only thing that was written was 

Great will power is needed, if you want to substitute this mighty creature.

Amaris thought all the suffering she has received in her childhood would be enough, as it has increase her will power.

......Ohh how wrong she was.

Not only the dragon didn't listen to her but it also attract her.

If it wasn't for her father to intervene she would have died a horrible death. Her father this time was greatly disappointed in her, he told her to leave and don't appear in front of his eyes ever again.

Amaris didn't even care, as she walked out of the ceremony hall limply.

Now in current time.

Amaris stop in front of a large door, after opening it with some difficultly, it revels a large library with atleast thousand of books in it.

"sigh"

Entering the library she let out a tired sigh, as she closed the door.

It was only place where she actually feels safe, a place away from her aunt, sister and her father who doesn't care about her, this was only place were her sister also doesn't appear, from what she knows about her sister is that, Caroline doesn't like reading books as she only like fighting. So she avoided the library the most.

'Well what can you expect from a bitch in heat.' though Amaris as she recall one of the incident were she saw her sister forcing her brother to have sex with her, but the thing she got was a tight slap right at her face, which greatly satisfied Amaris.

'A pity he didn't beat her up.' thought Amaris as she shook her head, just as she was about to walked forward, a shadowy figure appeared in front of her and handed her something, and quickly disappear as if never existed.

Amaris look at the veal which contain unknown red liquid the shadowy figure handed her, she didn't seems surprised by the figure approach rather she expected him/her.

From what she knows the shadowy figure is that, he/she is the one that has been taking care of her needs, but it doesn't evolves itself into her matter, it will only involves when she is injured or is closed to death, like for eg, when she got beaten up by her sister it will always appear and heal her injuries then left. 

Their was also one incident when she was torture for 6 weeks, the shadowy figure was the only one waiting for her arrival with a lot of healing portion.

She doesn't know the name of the shadowy figure, as it didn't talk nor had responded to her calls.

'Well whatever.'

Amaris quickly drink the red liquid, then suddenly all of her injuries healed rapidly, all the burns marks on her skin was disappearing and the three deep cut in her legs healed to without leaving any scars.
