War initiation

In a dark, damp, creepy place, a young man with two others his age sat as they tried to keep a fire going as it rained. They all looked like the Serangunis that Langa and Analka had killed.

Around them was a tall steep hill and it had caves dug into it. If you counted them, they would be in the hundreds. There were huts built across the land also but were black and had the same black goo that was present in the Dark Forest used as paint. The area felt dark and eerie with sounds of malevolent beasts howling now and then.

The three looked up to the dark sky as lightning flashed and they saw something in the sky burning, with purple fire all around it.

They stood up as they saw it coming closer to their village. After looking at it for a while, they realized that it was a human who was burning and was headed where they were standing.

It was too late when they discovered that. The burning body was already too close. They jumped out of the way as it landed by the fireplace, pieces of burning flesh scattering everywhere. As soon as it touched the ground, the purple fire grew exponentially, covering the village in an instant.

The three men were the first to burn to death as they scratched their skin, trying to do something, anything to stop the pain. When the fire touched the black goo that was painted over the huts, it was like adding fuel to the fire.

In just seconds of the woman's burning body landing in the village, the whole place was in chaos. Villagers came out of their huts burning, some jumping into pools of water made by the rain, but the fire could not be put out. Even the mud was not working as they quickly found out that there was no hope.

Others ran around, bumping into each other and falling into unconsciousness as they were running at full speed. They were the lucky ones as they died while unconscious.

On top of the steep hill that had caves dug in it, there was a particularly big cave that sat atop of all the other ones. You could not see inside it because of how dark it was, it being like you were looking into the abyss.

A woman stepped out of the cave. She was holding a staff and wearing a hood with a long coat that covered the whole of her body. The front face of the hood was just like the cave itself, so dark that you could not see the person's face.

Something else accompanied her. It looked like a werewolf but its skin was like that of a shark, but black from the feet up and with spots of dark brown skin as you reached the upper parts of its body.

A hand that looked sexy and pale like it could only belong to a hand model's came out of the woman's coat. Her nails were naturally black, were long, and looked sharp and pointy.

She put it against her staff and like she was drawing out something, a black goo-like substance came out of the staff and floated around her hand. She tossed it over to the beast and it swallowed it in one go and then licked its lips.

Just like Langa would, its muscles bulged and its veins turned black. Its eyes turned completely black, together with its skin, the dark brown spots being covered by a dark color.

It then jumped down and landed on the burning field below. Without wasting any time, it sucked in air, its chest becoming bigger, then it blew out a black mist that quickly covered the whole area. The fire died down instantly.

Some of the villagers were still alive and screaming for help. It went to those near it and without pity or any emotions, it stepped on one of the screaming villager's heads, crashing it like it had stepped on an egg.

It looked up to its master. There were now five more figures there and looking down on what had occurred. Three seemed to be male while two were female. You could not make up their build yet as the darkness covered them.

At the same time it had turned to look up and looked at the people up the cliff, its master turned and looked in the direction where the burnt body had come from.

At that very same moment, Nala smiled as the fire in her eyes extinguished on its own. She raised a fist high up in the air with delight.

"War has been initiated!!."

She said, and the villagers roared. Drums rang and the dancing started back up while the ash from the burnt bodies seeped into the ground and became one with the soil. in that soil, a seed could be seen already starting to germinate.

'Is this my sending away party or a war initiation ceremony?'

Nolamine asked himself as he looked at Nala going to sit over to where the Grand Witch was. He was going to leave them just the next day and he wondered if it was the right thing to do.

Langa put his sword on his back and joined the party. King tapped him on his shoulder and left him as he went by where Langa was, showing off some dance moves Nolamine never knew existed.

He watched as King asked Analka for a dance and her shyly excepting. Langa watched on, horrified at what he was seeing happening right in front of his eyes.

He went to try and steal some beer for the first time to drown his sorrows. A shoe hit him on the face out of nowhere, the throw was so powerful that it knocked him off his feet and he fell. A wooden spoon followed and it landed right between his legs.

He looked over to where it came from and saw Mi-sun preparing to throw another one for good measure. Nolamine laughed as he remembered his cheeks throbbing in pain after he tried the same thing. Right next to her was Second, looking for something else to throw at him.

Midnight came and Mi-sun came and took him away.

"It is time we talked about where Frogs is and how to train Son-join so to join you."

Mi-sun said as they arrived by where the Grand Witch was sitting. She had something in her hand that looked to be like a teardrop which was of an abyss black and clear white color.
