" Jake, do you request me?"
A white haired muscular man looked up slightly, his green eyes tilted toward her," Mhm, you seemed healed already, Sheba," He said, without any warmth or caring in his voice as he supposed to. "Thanks to you blessings, Jake," Sheba replied, not showing any emotions in her face, rather she's hurt or not.
Jake grunted, then reached to the drawer and pulled out a pink dusty boxes, and give it to her, Sheba took it hesitantly," Open this," Jake said.
Sheba carefully opened the box and revealed a beautiful, elegant, and delicate looking...stick.
" This is your household key?" Sheba guessed hopefully.
Jake scowled," No, you fool. It's a divine staff,"
" Oh, yeah, right, I should have known...WAIT A SECOND...A DIVINE STAFF?!" Sheba exclaimed, mind racing rapidly, divine staff are super rare, like out-of-the-world rare, in fact, there is only seventy two of them that exist in this world, you could gain massive amount of magoi, or magic energy by Ill IIah, the black god.
Jake nodded solemnly," Well?! Summon it! Dummy!"
Sheba only nodded in excitement, touching the golden stick, and then with a yellowish glow, it turn into a human sized staff.
"...Oh. ." She looked at her new staff in pure amazement, admiring every single thing of it," Oh my god! Look at this beautiful scar on the the top! So flawless!"
Jake cleared his throat, and Sheba become silent," As you know, Sheba, the Elder David of the Council of Elders do not give these staffs easily, you must repay him with a certain price,"
" A price? Tell me about it!"
Jake raised his eyebrows," First I am warning yah, it contains a life risk,"
Sheba nodded importantly.
Jake sighed," The divine staff gives you a unpredictable amount of magoi, however, it drains your life... but listen to me on this Sheba, would you give up your life to turn this world into a better and pure place and erase all the impurities?"
" Yes!" Sheba exclaimed, almost screaming.
Jake smiled, his teeth shining by the reflection of the lamp.
" Then it shall be it,"

" What?! You don't really accept the offer do you?!" Nice exclaimed incredulously, slamming his hand on the table, causing the water spilling on his hand, but he didn't care.
Sheba nodded proudly, "I did," She said, lifting her chin up.
" But-"
" Please, Nick, just let this loser be!" A yellow haired girl snickered at Sheba, and several people laughed at Sheba along, but Sheba smiled back," Please you! Moron! What did you do to serve the council of the Elders? Eh?! Just flirting with people?!" Sheba chuckled, the girl gritted her teeth," The name is 'Marron' ! Next time I catch you say that again..." Marron's body glowed with sparks but Sheba snorted, she muttered a spell, and all the sudden, the gravity pushed Marron with massive energy and lead her crashing into several lunch tables.
Other soldiers gawked in awe, Sheba grimaced a bit, panting. Nick looked at her," Are you okay?! You seemed ran out of air! What happened?!" Sheba only smiled reassuringly," Nothing," she said, leaving the lunch room.
But Sheba was sure.
That the staff is already draining her life...a bit by a bit...
