Chapter 5:The sacrifice

***

" Are you going to perform a ritual sorceress?" the sorceress young accomplice asked, he has always followed her around as her errand boy without anyone knowing his identity

" We are at the time of wars, a tyrant has come for our kingdom and he wants blood, we are going to let him see blood" The sorceress said

" How, you are not powerful enough to hold a ritual; you have been weak for days now" The boy reminded her

" I am not strong enough, I need a human sacrifice for the ritual if I must go through it" The sorceress told him

" Killing humans is an exception, you taught me that" The Young boy said

" Yes it is, that's why I am going to be the human sacrifice " she said to him

" You can't leave me, let me be the sacrifice sorceress " he cried

" Don't be weak Elias ! Remember all I have taught you. It's time to master their rules and give them a taste of their own game, more even better than theirs" The sorceress said. 

" Be gone when i am no more " She told Elias. 

The sorceress light up the red candles as she laments some ancient words for nearly ten minutes. The lights on the candles continued growing bigger at the mention of any spell

" I offer to you myself as a sacrifice to give the Konans Armies strength to fight their enemies!" She shouted raising the dagger on her hands up to the sky.

Before she could slit her throat open, she heard a body fall on the ground with a great thud, she stopped immediately to look on the ground; there lay Elias body with his throat slit open, he had cut himself instead

" Elias!!" She shouted and everywhere went dark.
