Kitang! Kitang! The sound of metal hitting against metal rang through the halls. Small amounts of light drifted in from here and there, casting long shadows. Candles were lit along the edges of the space giving it an ominous feel. At the center, a tall, burly man stood next to a rock podium. Six others stood behind him, garbed in black cloaks. Two armored soldiers entered, dragging a chained woman along with them.
"Nichtaö. Bring her here," the man in the center commanded.
The two men pulled her forward and shoved her down on her knees directly in front of the podium. The man grasped her chin and forced it upward. Her glassy eyes tried hopelessly to focus. He swiftly yanked her hands to him and sliced her thumb open with a knife he pulled out of his belt. He collected the blood on the blade and flicked it onto the ground behind him. The cloaked men moved around the spot into a semicircle. They began chanting, "Wallt. Intchtei. Miaute. Dtol." Her eyes rolled to them. The man grabbed her face and pulled it to his again.
"You do not belong here, litchtla!" He growled at her. "You are a traitor. You are no longer part of the Nlciao!" He threw her down roughly, and turned to watch a void appearing from the drops of blood. The shadowy mass grew quickly. It swirled around itself, creating a pull towards the center. Once it had grown to a size adequate to envelope a person the chanting stopped. The man yanked the girl to her feet and positioned her beside it. "Be gone, demon!" He threw her at the void and she disappeared into it.
Hey everyone! Thank you so much for giving my story a chance :) It is my first published story, so I really hope you like it, and any feedback will be greatly appreciated :)
Here's a translation of the words for you.
Nichtaö – Brother
Wallt, intchtei, miaute, and dtol are just incantations; they don't have a real meaning.
Llitchtla – Swine
Nlciao – Family
I made up this language as being their native tongue. If it's unliked I won't use it anymore in the story, but I don't really know how to change some of this chapter, so I wouldn't be replacing them.
Again thanks so much, and don't worry the rest of the chapters will be much longer :)
And if someone could tell me how to put that line in the middle of a break I would love you forever! :)
