Chapter 2: The giving of the daemon.
(Next day, in the Great Hall.)
The table and everything else was moved to the side of the Great Hall, so that there was a lot of space. Everybody, including the staff and the citizens of planet Nemesis (not very many) were there, their attention fixed of a girl standing in the middle of the room in a plain, but non the less stunning, black dress. Then Queen Titana and King Saphyre came through the huge, wooden doors of the Great Hall to stand in front of her.
"Today is the great day when finally our daughter, the bringer of the dark, will have her daemon revealed and will start her hard journey to bring all of us what we so much desire!" shouted the queen to the people. They replied with cheers.
"Quiet now and let me perform the spell for our 'child of destruction' to get her daemon!" boomed the queen's voice over the noise of the proud people of Nemesis.
The noise stopped. Everything was totally silent except for the steady breathing of the crowd and the three royals in the middle.
"Kle da seed, re toderk, re loed, togeorsh! Gourhtjd eu fordex, TODDEMM!" chanted the queen, with the king at her side, whispering the same words of the great spell.
Black, sparkling dust that looked like the fire in the heart of any soul surrounded the girl. Then out of the great flames came the wings of a huge bird. The creature's wings were dark blue, seeded with the pure white specks of broken stars, their tips as sharp as the sharpest sword. Then as suddenly as it came out of the smoke and fire it withdrew back. When the dust settled and the fire died out there was left a girl, standing in the middle of it, but she was no longer alone. By her side stood a great black panther, with the wings of fire, the eyes that were pure silver like the light of the stars, the claws were razor sharp, and the mark f Nemesis shining a proud gold on its black forehead. The girl wasn't scared of it, she in fact did quite the opposite; she was stroking the panther, not caring about the flames of the wings, but ignoring the fire as if it wasn't there.
"Oh what a great shape! His name shall be Mist," declared the king.
The crowd cheered, but it drew away from the girl and her daemon, for together they looked as beautifully dangerous as a black hole, and determined… oh how determined! But the clapping stopped when the girl sent a piercing look around, 't was as sharp as an arrow and as cold as ice. And the great cat, Mist, spoke for her, for he could sense that inside she withheld powerful happiness.
"People of Nemesis, listen now to what I say! Tsuki and me are glad that we are finally united, and grateful that you let us perform this task. We promise to make you all proud!" As the daemon spoke his voice rang out deep and clear, unshaken and uncaring, plainly and handsomely dark. And that voice made the crown withdraw clear away, because such purity and darkness shook them to their bones and chilled their hearts.
So ended the great day. The people went home. Tsuki and Mist went to sleep, eager to awake the next day and start on their difficult journey.
So did you like it? I'm posting all these chapters at once cause this is a very old story! You don't even have to review although it would be a nice thing to do and will make me feel better about my writing skills even though they suck, but I'm rambling now so I'll stop!!
