Chapter 21

*FLASHBACK CONTINUES *

M'lady never thought she would feel such a repulsive taste in her mouth. But she did. Just when she got the masked man away from her she bended in half and threw up to the ground. Everyone who first feared for the well being of their King, we're now terrified for the well being of their most loved person with the title of a general. Because not only did this mysterious enemy try to harm their King, now he did something horrible to the general. She didn't see it, but what she threw up was nothing more than black liquid and blood. Just the mere sight of her, bended down on dark tainted ground-tiles made grown up men shiver and women scream. M'lady had grown used to not throw up anymore, but now it was as if she was puking all her stomach out. She was actually scared she would die either of loss of liquid or lack of oxygen for she didn't get much of a chance to catch her breath.

"You monster, what did you do to her?" People were shouting in mixture of fear and anger.

The Masked man was taken by the suprise as did his double who had let go of her hair.

"Odd, I've never seen so strong rejection. I just explained how futile it is to fight against this invitation. " He said looking at the young woman emptying what seemed like her whole body fluids.

M'lady didn't hear anything, everything around her was blur. Screams and cries of people who worried for her were fading away. All that went in her mind was a pray that she won't die and someone would actually get this man for what he had done. Those were her last thoughts before she fainted and fell to the puddle of dark blood.

In the minute she touched the ground an armored arm appeared under neath her. It went right past her side to the double masked man and grabbed its head. It was like giant hand that held the head of that double, squeezing harder and harder til it cracked to pieces and a headless body falling to the ground. Only just to get up again with new head and all the shattered pieces became a new enemy, creating in total of six masked dark robed men. But none of them got any closer to the young woman. The arm the had strength to shatter a head dropped down to push an entire armored body from the ground. It was as if there was a hole in the ground right under M'lady's fainted body. Beside the arm there appeared soon a head with a long feather like mane and cat-mask that covered the whole face. Following that came out the the shoulders and the torso, all armored in similar armor as in Sasan. When the other arm came out it brought along a long axe which was already seen flying at Judal two days ago. Once the whole staff of the axe was out it hit the ground for levarge to help the rising warrior to its feet that had metal boots on. People around, were both stunned and scared, for their weren't sure if the warrior was an ally or an enemy. The masked warrior didn't seem to even care about people around it. All it did was bend down and pick up the fainted young woman like a person picks up a child and placed her head resting on its shoulder. After that, the eyes of the mask followed every double that wore a mask and dark robes. Finally it set eyes on one of them, the one who had kissed M'lady and made her so sick.

"Don't know what you are, but that woman isn't getting away this time." He said and as like from a silent signal all enemies charged at the mysterious warrior who didn't seem to care of anything except the frail being in its arm. With one hand it raised the long axe and hit the ground where the bloody puddle was.

"Cleansing fire circle." It growled like a sound of a thunder from a long distance.

A immense fire appear around the feet of the masked warrior and it got rapidly wider till it reached the attackers with intense flash of light. After that, what ever was left of the multiple masked men was all burnt to a black carbon crisp that grumbled like ash in the wind.

"How in the…" Said one masked man that was left, for he had flew higher so the fire didn't cath him.

The warrior moved again the long axe with one hand and pointed at last remaining enemy.

" Sealing. " It growled again.

A magic circle appeared on the tip of the axe from where it shot to the flying man. He tried to Shield himself with a bolg, but it passes through to the man's forehead. And once it was imprinted on his forehead, the magic circle disappeared.

"What was that? What did you do?" He asked from the warrior with the feline mask.

But the warrior didn't answer. Actually, it seemed like it was completely ignoring the man and concentrating on the young woman, that it was laying down to the ground. It examined her and poked her cheek. And when she didn't respond it shook her by the shoulder. She woke up and opened her eyes which were still tinted in black. But for some reason she seemed scared for some reason. She moved away from the warrior and stared at it. Or something near it, one can't say for her face turned to every way. Aladdin was first to come next to her and place a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry he saved you. We're not sure if he is an ally, but he got rid of the doubles." Aladdin said to her.

M'lady put her hand on top of Aladdin's and looked at his way. Then she looked at the warrior front her.

"Can you see him?" Aladdin asked suprised.

M'lady shook her head and pointed front of her and then her eyes. The warrior just stood still watching the young woman and the child behind her.

" *Sigh* She tries to say that she sees me looking at her." Warrior said in very soft growling.

" What?... Why?... How?..." Aladdin asked.

"Not important. Apparently, she can't talk and hasn't talked since her broken vow." The masked warrior said.

M'lady nodded, even though she wasn't sure if it was a question. The warrior got up from its knees and kept looking at them. Mostly looking at M'lady.

" Retake your vow." It said in soft growl.

M'lady's mouth fell open. She could retake her vow. She didn't know it was possible. She tried to say something but nothing came out. She tried several times, even just to say the words of the vow.

"*sigh* If you can't say it then try writing or even that sign-thing. Man, You're hopeless." Warrior sighed frustrating.

M'lady looked around her. Or at least tried. She saw herself sitting on the ground and turning her head to sides as if she could see. It appeared that only the warrior front of her could deside where to look and it chose to look at her.

" Forget everything else and just do it." Warrior said with more commanding voice.

M'lady got startled by that and began to quickly think what to do. She couldn't repeat the vow by just saying it, so what could she do. Signing simply didn't feel like worthy of the situation. It was a vow, not conversation. She could write it like a binding contract and put a signature at end. That could make it formal and binding. But with what could she write it and on what? She had no writing materials with her. She tried looking at her surroundings by the eyes of the masked warrior. Behind her was Aladdin who had a worried look, front of her was nothing more than smooth large tiles of the ground. She had on a white dress which was now mostly dark red. Even her skin was stained with blood, but not in same way as Ali-baba and Sinbad. She was covered in blood all over. She got scared and disgusted with how she saw herself. But despite that it gave her idea.

This vow was made to last for as long as she was determined to keep it. So taking it should be something as determined. In one word: dead serious.

M'lady had noted on the necklace she was wearing had some big and sharp jewels. In right angle it could even cut glass, so why not something else. Determined on what she was doing, she pulled the necklace off her. And then cut her hand with the sharp serrated edge of the jewel, making a deep cut.

" M'lady , what are you doing!?" Aladdin shouted.

M'lady didn't listen. She now concentrated on the ground tile front of her. With the blood that oozed from her hand she began to write on the ground tile. Masked warrior just watched and began to repeat what she wrote.

" May no man ever hear my voice… Not a scream, not a whisper… As long as my voice is sealed… May the shadows of the past stay away...Till the last breath I take on this earth… Good." It said as M'lady finished writing on the tile.

When M'lady wrote the last word she over lined all sentences as checking them out. Seeing she was done, masked warrior took the long axe and hit staff to the tile making a soft "ping" sound. As like from magic all the writing vanished as did the blood stains on M'lady's face. Her dress however remained stained.

" What did you do?" Asked the enemy floating in the air.

" Just the needed to keep you and your companions away. You won't be chasing her if you can't remember her." Warrior said in a soft growling sound.

"What you mean?" Aladdin asked looking at the tall masked warrior.

"As long you are in constant proximity of her she will remain in your memories. Not seeing her for… let's say over three months, you won't even wonder if she ever existed." Masked warrior explained.

"That's terrible." Aladdin shouted.

" It's needed. Otherwise every freaking maniac with greed for revenge, power or who knows what sort of lunacy would be charging here. Especially them." Warrior said and pointed the man who floated above everyone.

"You think we would just forget she exist? " He asked.

"By the time you get back, if you get back, you aren't sure what she looks like or where she is." Warrior explained. " And by the way, the sealing I did earlier on you, blocks your connection with others members of your organization, so none of them knows she is here. Personally, after what you did in the Marnilia, I'm itching to slice you in tiny pieces, but we all know what that does so, begone."

The masked man looked very troubled and unhappy of what he heard from the warrior. He didn't seem however very interested in the idea of having to face him. After all, the warrior disintegrated all the doubles with one move.

"Hm, oh well. It won't matter, there are two candidates for dark kings, I'll let them take care of her in time." Masked man smiled.

Warrior didn't respond anymore. Instead, it came closer to M'lady and picked her up like an infant and held her with one arm as the other held the long axe.

" Well then, you'll have to excuse me. This country is so full of white rukh that I have problems breathing… but, it was really confortable living inside of you, prince." Masked man said looking at Hakuryuu.

After that he floated away and disappeared from sight. Once he was gone, everyone began to get worried and troubled by tending the wounded. Among them prince Hakuryuu, who had lost an arm.

Soon, Aladdin, Ali-baba, Sinbad and all his generals assembled at the palace. Sinbad and Ali-baba were examined by Aladdin and Yamuraiha. With them were also Sharkkan, Sparthos and Pisti. Rest of the generals, Drakon, Hinahoho, Jafar, Masrur and M'lady with the masked warrior stood aside from them. Leaving enough room for Yamuraiha to examine the "curses" and for Jafar give orders regarding other wounded.

"What should we do about this?" Ali-baba asked looking at his arm which was turning black.

" What a shame to allow this to happen in our presence…" Sharkkan said out loud.

That comment made everyone feel discontent with themselves. An enemy had gotten inside of Sindria and worse he had cursed both Ali-baba and King Sinbad.

"Don't panic. Curses don't exist. This is most likely some sort of magic. Isn't that right, Yamuraiha? " Sinbad said calming everyone's nerve.

"Yes. This is magic. This black bruise… it works because of magic. If this is magic, then I'm sure there is a way to cancel it." Yamuraiha said.

" That's great." Aladdin and Ali-baba cheered.

" But I've never seen such magic. It's a magic that attacks other people's magio… I have no idea what orders of formula made this magic work. For a magic as complex as this, only the person who cast it would know how to undo it." Yamuraiha said.

Everyone got silent once again. I seemed that there was no hope.

"But you're certain this is magic. So there must be way to undo it." Aladdin said.

"I mean, M'lady got that curse too and she is fine now." Aladdin said and pointed at M'lady.

Everyone turned to look at M'lady who stood quietly at side. Despite not being able to see, she knew she was being watched.

"Don't count her recovery in order to cure those two." The masked warrior said behind her. "Her entire being is molded to reject any kind of curses. This isn't the first time that man from organization has tried to poison her. That same guy poisoned her in Marnilia and it took years to cleanse it all."

"Can't we use same method?" Aladdin asked.

"No. It requires me to dwell inside their bodies and I have enough work with her. She hasn't recovered even from the last time and my purpose is specifically keep her alive." Warrior explained.

" Well… Then I will undo it. I won't let you two die from such magic." Aladdin said to Ali-baba and Sinbad.

"Since you people have a way to do this I'll leave." Warrior said and began to sink into a shadow on the floor.

"Just one thing, the eye will catch light again in three days, but keep washing them twice a day." Warrior said looking at M'lady before disappearing into the shadow.

"I guess, we can't ask you about your Guardian until your eyes get well again." Sinbad said looking at M'lady.

She didn't answer. Probably, didn't know who he was talking to or didn't want to. Sinbad however got up from the chair he was sitting while being examines.

"In any case, Yamuraiha… suppress the magic on Ali-baba for the moment." Sinbad said.

" But, didn't he cast the same magic on you?" Aladdin asked.

" Well… I'm alright." Sinbad said "Since M'lady is fine now, would someone escorts her to her chambers. She had a rough night. "

M'lady felt a big hand on her shoulder, it would be either Hinahoho or Drakon who would take her to her chambers.

"I will stop by my wife's place to help you take care of your eyes." Heard the voice of Drakon.

M'lady nodded and followed the general to the hallways and to his chambers where his wife was.

"So, how is everything? " Shahel asked from her husband when he came.

"It's complicated. But Sinbad is fine, he went to the room of teleportation. Probably taking care of that intruder right now." Drakon said and guided M'lady to one of the chair in the room.

"Would you help M'lady with her eyes? The masked guardian said it would get better in three days." Darkon said and pointed M'lady.

"So that was her guarding?" His wife asked.

"It appears so. He didn't leave her side at all time and said it was his duty to keep her alive." Drakon explained.

"Well, good thing he is on our side." Shahel said and brought bowl of clean water and clean towels to help clean M'lady's face.

M'lady was silent the whole time. After having her face cleaned she was guided by Drakon wife to her chamber. Maids helped her out of stained dress and to a modest night dress. After all that she fell asleep, but dreamed nothing. Her mind was all blank.
