Chereads / Why I Became the Dark Empress / Chapter 3 - I Got a Filmilia

Chapter 3 - I Got a Filmilia

When my eyes opened, I noticed that I was in a massive bed that was too big to be from my original house. So, I knew that I had not been dreaming about the fact that I had been given away to a dark god by my people.

I was wearing only a thin black bra and matching underwear when I woke up from my sleep. I became too distracted by a scent that sounded my nose to think about clothing. This scent was something that I had not smelt in a very long time.

The first thing that I saw when I set up was a tray that had strips of roasted meat that was made of a blood-red color. Besides that, I saw a glass that contained a dark green liquid. The thought that someone had prepared me meat was very thoughtful because where I grew up, meat was super rare, and most of it was used by the ascended blood elves, which made it very hard to ever get any for personal consumption.

It did not take me long to consume the meat due to the rarity of me eating it I did not let it go to waste. Then I took a sip of the green liquid, and I noticed that despite the odd texture, it seemed to boost my energy. Due to the boost that it gave me I quickly finished it by ignoring the rough texture as it slid down my throat.

Since I was done eating my breakfast, I chose to use this time to explore the castle that was going to be my new home, but before I left the room, I made sure that I grabbed one of the vials that were inside the cabinet in my room and put it around my neck.

I used a small knife that was in the cabinet to make a tiny prick on my right thumb and allowed the blood to drop into the vial that was around my neck. As the fresh blood contacted the clear liquid in the vial, I could hear a low hum for a few seconds before it went silent. Now that I had my vial of blood that I could use to make the day easier to handle I felt a lot more secure in this new home.

Next, I made my way to the walk-in closet that was to the right of the cabinet that contained the vials.

When I opened the closet, I could tell that it was very organized with dresses hung up to my left. To my right, there were cases of earrings with a variety of shapes, but they were all colored silver or a bold red color. Against the rear of it, there were a lot of different colored underwear on display.

I first got my underwear changed. I grabbed three different colors and tried each of them on. It took me a bit of time to compare how each of them made me feel. After a bit of time, I chose to go with the red underwear set. Next, I grabbed one of the long black dresses that had an open back area. Then I put on a matching pair of black heels. The final thing that I did was put on a pair of earrings that had a silver jewel in them.

Then I walked out of my bedroom and was greeted by a female who was half human half fox. She bowed at me as I looked at her.

"Hello, mistress; I am here to help make your transition from your old life to your new one as swift and simple as possible." She said to me as she did a gracious bow to me.

"Are you the only one that will be helping me or will all of these other servants be helping me too?" I asked her as I noticed that there were a variety of demi-human creatures walking through the hallway.

"No, they will just be cleaning and preparing the master's morning meal. It is my job to stay with you on this day.

Now if you would follow me to the first step of your process of transforming you into the wife of master Carvis. We will be getting you your very first familiar today. Normally, the creatures of the dark region would have received their first familia when they come of age, but for obvious reasons, you are an exception to the normal." She said to me as she pointed to the transportation circle.

"Wait I get a companion?" I asked trying to contain my joy.

The reason why I had trouble containing my joy was because I also wanted a companion, but it was not allowed in the culture of a blood elf because it reminded everyone of the past.

This was because the very first of the blood elves were members of the moon elf race. They had been doing a set of forbidden dark arts with the use of ancient blood magic. One of their experiments backfired, and the lab blew up. After the lab exploded, the spilled blood was absorbed through their skin, and they were transformed into the first blood elves.

When the first few generations of blood elves tried to live in peace among the other elven races they were banished due to their constant uses of dark arts that the other elven races looked down upon. After that, they made it into the dark forest where they were located on the border of the dark region.

I followed her to the transporter without thinking about what was going to be coming my way.

"You need to picture a dark forest that has bushes with black roses going out of them. The area is surrounded by a silver fence and there are a variety of wild animals roaming in the woods.

Do you have that image in your mind?" she asked me as soon as I entered the elevator.

"Yes, I do," I told her as I walked into the center of the elevator.

I pictured the scene that she had described to me, and I was immediately transported to a teleportation circle that was in front of the area she had described to me.

It was not very long before I saw the female servant on my side once again.

As soon as I walked off the teleportation platform, I noticed that the gate opened. I saw a medium-height devil that had almost pale white skin. His horns were partially broken which I found to be a little bit odd.

"Hello miss Syndrell, I have been tasked with assisting you with finding your first family

Some beings have a great struggle getting another creature to accept them as their master. I will be making this as simple as I possibly can for you."

He waved his hand for me to follow him and I did so that I could finally get my first tamed creature as soon as possible.

"What kind of creatures do you have that I can tame?" I asked him as I entered the inside of the barrier.

"The creatures vary in size, from a simple cat to an elemental dragon. Only those who recognize you as worthy of becoming their master. If they will allow you to approach them then you may make the pact." He said to me as I approached a cat that had four tails that connected at the end of their back.

As soon as I approached the creature it ran away from me as if it was terrified of me at sight.

I failed to get the chance to tame any other creature no matter how patient I was before approaching them. When I was about to give up on the search, I found a cave that was in the back of the fenced area.

Since I had no other options, I chose to enter the cave to find out what was inside of it.

When I entered the cave, I could hardly see anything around me. I then drank a pair of drops from my vial that was around my neck, and as soon as I did the room became bright as if I was in broad daylight. The only major difference was that I saw that there were six creatures in the cave. The first one was massive in size and the other ones were about ten percent of the larger creature's size.

I made it to the back area of the cave, and I saw that there was a full-grown dragon that was black with red stripes. There was also a group of young dragons around the large dragon.

Then one of the smaller dragons came over to me and looked up at me with blood-red eyes that told me she wanted me as her master.

I then used my knowledge of the old ways of beast taming to make the magical circle out of the blood that was remaining in my vile. As I finished the magic circle, the baby dragon stepped into it, and the logo of a dragon appeared on my right hand,d, which meant that the contract was finalized.

After that, I walked out of the cave with the baby dragon on my right shoulder, and I was happy because I finally had my first companion. The fact that the companion was a member of the dragon species meant that my destiny, whatever I was, would most likely reshape the world.
