Chereads / The Price of Divinity / Chapter 41 - Luna

Chapter 41 - Luna

Leia is now located in a throne room. In the center of the room, a golden throne with pink diamonds has a figure covered in fog sitting on the throne. The room walls are painted pink with sculptures on both sides of the room of sitting position lions made out of ruby. The eyes of the lions are made of pink diamonds. 

The floor of the room glows with precious red and pink gemstones, and the main carpet leading to the throne is made out of the brightest pink fabric ever made. The ceiling is made out of pink glass.

Leia, still sitting on the floor, is looking around the room for signs that something is about to attack her.

"Hello." The figure covered in fog talked. "Welcome. You don't know what is happening. Let's first get rid of the fog." The figure makes the fog disappear, showing an identical copy to Leia.

"Why do you look like me?" Leia, managing the strength to stand up, questions the figure.

"Calm down. I am you, but my name is Luna." Luna stands up from her throne.

"What do you mean by that?" Leia, not taking anything from whatever Luna has to say, gets a knife from her left leg ready to attack Luna.

Swoosh

Luna catches the knife directed at her throat with little problem. Her crimson-red eyes became filled with bloodlust. Luna breaks the knife with a tap from her index finger. 

Leia retreats to prepare more attacks.

Swoosh

"Ahh!!!" Leia feels her arms cut into many finite pieces. She falls on the floor, seeing her blood pour out, realizing that she will die.

Luna is standing in her exact spot, grinning, her hands covered in blood. Leia knows that it is Luna's doing; however, with her rapid loss of blood and consciousness, she can't think clearly.

 

Luna snaps her fingers, instantly healing Leia, leaving her as if she had never been injured. Leia, lying down on the floor after being healed, can only see Luna barefooted approaching her. Leia raises her head to see Luna having a kind smile with hints of sinister intention.

"Are you dumb?" Luna kicks Leia's head, sending her flying into the main door.

"Who are you!" Leia screamed, sitting down at the door after breaking her spine due to the force of the kick.

"This is punishment. You should have never attacked a beautiful and innocent woman like me." Luna gets closer to Leia, who is unable to walk. "Look, my pedicure is now messed up due to you." Luna shows her foot with her leg with Leia's leg.

"Who cares? It's just blood, and it's just feet. No one cares about your nasty feet." Leia spits on Luna's feet.

"I won't kill you as you are me so that I will allow it. I also agree with your statement, but they are necessary if you want power." Luna creates a red fabric to clean herself.

"What do you mean about using them to have power!!" Leia is now being healed by Luna.

"Don't you need power to defeat the people who are just about to capture you? Don't you need power to take over and create chaos in this world?" Luna bends over, looking directly at Leia's eyes.

"I do want to do all of that! How do you know that and respond to my other questions? Leia is still on alert for anything Luna does.

"All you have to do is accept me, and you will get powers. Powers so strong that no one will be able to leave you spell. I am so beautiful that people fall for me, and I get everything I want." Luna shows images in her eyes at Leia.

"Are you even capable of that? And yes, you are beautiful because you are me!" Leia, now calmer, still shows her suspicions.

"Did you not see what I did? That is only one-hundredth of my power, and I can be yours. All you have to do is follow my path, and you will become me." Luna's eyes start becoming pinker.

"That's strong!! How can I follow your path? Leia, having her suspicions, decides to see what Luna will make her do.

" Yes, that's strong, and all you have to do is… It's better to experience it yourself." Luna flicks her finger at Leia's forehead, causing her to pass out.

Leia is in a ghost body seeing how a poor young woman is being chased by two men in a dark and dense forest. She sees the poor young woman start to slow down while the men are just walking behind her.

Leia tries to punch the men, but her punches pass the men. Leia realizes she can't do anything, but her instincts are telling her that something is going to happen to her, and she needs to be worried about this experience.
