The Side Effects of being a Sorceress

The next morning I woke up with a splitting headache. I called for Lukas and my maid, Marie. Lukas got there first but Marie arrived shortly after. "Ma'am? What's wrong?" Marie asks.

"I have a splitting headache and it won't go away." I say, holding my head with one hand while I pet Dolion who woke up shortly after I did with the other.

Lukas then says, "That's the first sign of becoming the next Sorceress Miss Morana. It seems your magical abilities are bound to the powers of the Death Goddess herself, which means they will only get stronger the more you kill. You killed two people yesterday, the maid and King Magiio, which only strengthened your powers tenfold. If you keep killing, your powers would be strengthened two hundred and tenfold." I look at Lukas out of the corner of my eyes while Marie goes and gets some meds to dull my headache.

By the time Marie returns my headache has gotten worse. The meds dull the pain enough for me to think. I look up at Marie, "Thanks Marie, I really appreciate it." I say with a smile.

Marie smiles back and says, "Your welcome Ma'am." She bows and leaves me alone with Lukas.

"How do you feel Miss Morana?" Lukas asks me, worry in his black demonic eyes.

I look over at Lukas, "I'm fine, no need to worry about me. Go on, get me some hot chocolate please!" I say with a big grin.

"Of course Miss Morana, I shall return with your hot chocolate as soon as possible." Lukas says, bowing and then leaving me to be alone with Dolion and my thoughts.

"Dolion, I wonder if I'll have the ability to forgive if I kill anymore people. What do you think buddy?" I ask, looking at the snake in my lap as I pet his scaly head.

"You will be able to forgive asss long asss you have me missstresss." Dolion hisses, wrapping around my left arm.

I smile, "Thanks Dolion. I'm glad I have you as a friend." I say with a hint of sadness.

Dolion hisses into my ear, "I am your only friend other than Marie."

I nod, "Yes, I don't have any other friends because I've always been a secret Mother wished to never talk about whenever she was out with her friends." I say with anger. "Good thing she's dead now. I can reveal myself to the whole world, I shall make a name for myself, I shall be known as The Demon Sorceress!" I shout with evil glee. I then giggle evilly, "They shall never see it coming. Death will arrive to all the cities in Sympathios, she shall have her own little reaperess. Come Dolion, we have much more practice to do before we destroy entire cities of their population." I say. I laugh evilly for five minutes as I await my hot chocolate.
