Sword of Karma

The Demura can be seen walking towards the dark cave, laughing like a deranged person.

"At last! I have found you!"

She exclaimed as she reached the end of the cave. Her sharp teeth showing, completely making her look evil and terrifying. Her eyes are completely stuck to the object in front of her.

"Protect the queen he says" Imitating the king in a mocking tone.

"Well of course why not?!--if the price is right! -- An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, A life for a life!" She continues as if talking to someone else.

A glint of light flashed in front of her. "The sword of Karma."She stated pleased at the sight. She gently held out her hand to touch the sword but before she could touch it. A violent volt of thunder flashes before her. " Ahhh-- it burns!" She cried in agony while slowly tracing her steps backward. Her young youthful appearance melting off revealing a horrifying sight. Anger could be seen in her face as she tried to hold onto her flesh, but the stinging pain continues to burns her skin showing her rotten flesh.

"So that's your real form." A mocking voice echoed and from behind the rocks that hold the sword. A woman in a white robe emerges with a curious smile on her face.

"There is no place for the likes of you here!" She continued mocking the Demura. "Get out! Before I completely annihilate you!" She commanded.

"You don't wanna do that Gheal!" The Demura replied her voice ragged and old.

"How do you know me?!" She sneered.

"Of course I know you! There is no evil that is unknown to me. You and I are the same."

Fear started to creep on her. 'No one must know' she reminded herself.

" I know what you did. "

The Demura continued. Before she could utter another word she realized it was already too late, and darkness swallowed her.

Meanwhile in the deep trench:

"Good morning! How are you feeling?" Ghana smiled at him.

" I'm okay now thanks," Rafael replied. Sitting down as Ghana gestured.

" I know you have a lot of questions to ask Rafael, but I wanna assure you first that your mother is fine. Right now you need to think of your own safety." She said assuring him before he could utter a word.

"Narketa" she whispered and his bowl of soup reflected her mother's and father's face, then it disappeared this time changing into the people who want him dead.

"One last thing Ghana can you help me contact them to let them know I'm safe?" He asks pleading.

She smiled "Do not worry I'll find a way to informed your mother that you are with me but for now we need to get out of here to ensure your safety."

They nodded in agreement.

I should feel relieved but why can't I remove this feeling of heaviness on my chess. Rafael thought to himself.
