Tinted hearts

The land of Bahamut also called the land of monsters, a land where people behave as monsters but still call demons evil.

The land has dangerous monsters that are brutal and heartless they are used by the strongest most powerful and richest of sorcerers they control them with their magic, and use them as weapons to terrorize the poor and defenseless and turn them into slaves,

Now are the monsters the monsters or are the people the real monster, people didn't label the land evil because of the monsters, no, the people there are the real monsters.

In a land where the poor has no right to walk freely, where the poor are slaves to the rich, sold and bought as items killed just for entertainment for their masters, where the men are taken to unnecessary wars just to be killed at the end, where women are used as sexual toys or used as concubines to bear children for them.

The land where the rich are always right, where the quest for power super sees the life of the innocent, where a woman can never rule a man, a land where love had become myths,

And here she was, going to the border where the governor was with the slave warriors going to fight against the darkness, knowing full well that the battle there going was a fruitless one, the servant has no other option than to comply because they are slaves and most follow whatever their masters ordered, indeed she was going to a deadly place but what she wanted to say was suicidal,

The rain was pouring hard as the thunder struck giving the land an ominous feeling, but she had no intention of stopping, her mind was made up. she was not going to be quiet anymore,

As she reached the border drenched from the rain and cold with little clothes on with no shoes on, people gave her questionable gazes because of what a beautiful woman would be doing in a place like this in such a poor condition,

But she didn't give a f***, she knew what she was about to do was going to be the end of her, but strangely she was not afraid,

She could see Alex standing at a corner giving her a pleading look telling her to go back and stop acting stupid and irrational, if not for herself then for her unborn child,

But she had listened to all of their advice, and now she had made a decision, and it was already far too late now to turn back, it was too late to back down.

Because of silence many peopled had lost their lives lost their will to live lost all hope and meaning to leave and Now she was still told to stay quiet.

No, she would not, not anymore. her heart can't bear more pain, it can't bear more loss, more heartache. she has to put a stop to it all to avoid more blood shard, more pain, she needs to bring back justice bring back hope for a better future, bring back love, and destroy those who chose to stand with evil, repay injustice with justice, stand for the truth even if it kills her.

she stopped in her track looking for the general that would lead the slave army, she used her eyes to search for him, it won't be hard to spot him in a place like this when her eyes found the general, her feet began to move towards him.

A man stood in front of an army of men mightily l given orders on the upcoming war to the salves warriors "In three days we fight," general Claradious ordered, the men who had no option or say and just like people before them they would all die for nothing and he knew it.

" Greetings general Claradious," she greeted, standing in front of him with her head held high, she wasn't going to get intimidated by him.

" What are you doing here woman" a man two times my size and height wearing the most expensive clothes with the aura of a warrior, asks her looking a little irritated,

"Is that how you talk to a woman," she asked, he was a good leader with no choice and with a lot of pride, he would be a great asset to her if everything goes according to plan.

" I'm here to tell you that you don't have to go on with the war, they are other ways, we all know that what doing is only going to make the darkness stronger"

Claudius looked at her from the top of her head to the sole of her feet displeased by what she said, it won't be easy to convince him when she look like this " what does a woman like you know about a man's job" he asked looking down at her.

" I know that going straight to the darkness is suicidal, we will not only lose our men but also lose the chance of actually defeating the darkness, you don't have to go ahead with what the emperor says," she said with a pleading but yet determined look on my face.

Someone laughed behind her mockingly attracting the people's attention, she turned around to see who it was, and it turned out to be Denver the lord who the Empress had assigned to take the slaves to war.

" So you talk about the darkness as if you're not of them, aren't you a demon, demon," Denver said with a malicious smile, she was taken aback by what he said but immediately she composed herself,

" Yes I am, but am not the one trying to kill innocent men for my selfish purpose, for bags of gold you sell the life of the innocent for a bag of gold you sell the little chance of survival of the people, all just for a bag of gold, her voice wasn't high nor was it loud but it spoke volumes while looking straight into lord Denver's eyes with her head up high,

" You b*****," Denver said angrily as he raised his hand to hit her, she didn't flinch or stepped away, she just stood still looking into his eyes.

" Only a coward raises his hands on a woman, not just any woman but a pregnant one at that," she said disgusted, Denver grounded his teeth in anger as his jaw worked,

People started murmuring among themselves at what she said, Claradious had amusement written all over his face, when Denver heard what they were saying he fumed in anger, he grabbed her by the arm with his fat hand dragging her away,

" Where are you taking me," she asked trying to lose his tight grip on her arm,

"Just to the beasties cave, "Denver smiled evilly as he said those words,

" You're a monster, "she said to him not hiding her disgust towards him,

" Tell that to the beast when you see them," Denver said while signaling for his men to come over.

"You think that putting me in the beast cave would change anything, no it won't, the truth will remain the truth,"

"At least you will be out of my way," Denver said with his breath that smells of alcohol,

I just laughed at his foolishness, "so a mere woman like me is actually causing trouble for the lord," she said smugly enjoying his angered expression.

" Not for long" Denver said as the rain fell harder with the sound of thunder announcing yet another unfair treatment of an innocent person.

Lord Denver pushed her into the cave, before ordering for the cave to be closed, her eyes met with that of Claradious and Alex who had a helpless look on their face,

The door of the cave closed slowly as all the light in the cave lessened, when the cave was completely closed, her back hit the big stone behind her as she slide down to the floor.

She didn't regret what she just did and if she had the power to go back in time she would still do it again, maybe someone would have the courage to fight the Empress

She could clearly see in the cave, but it didn't change much presently, she placed her hand on her baby bump as she closed her eyes allowing the darkness to consume her,

Suddenly she heard a growl not too far away from where she sat, its pit red eyes looking right at her the beast was huge as it kept growling at her while progressing toward her, but she just sat there not making any move.

instead of being afraid of the beast she admired it, it was beautiful and graceful, its fur looks soft to touch,

The beast was already three steps away from her, but she was unfazed by its presence, she kept on looking at the beast's eyes.

" Hmm so this is how I'm going to end up," she said with a bittersweet smile as tears fell from her eyes as she bit her lips, "I just hope that Summer and Phoebe's fates are far better than mine," she said does word's as a tear fell from her eye.
