Chapter 38
Rouge's Trial
Rouge looked around the dark room, searching for light. After she heard the door close behind her, the room lit up with elegant flames. She smiled at the beauty they possessed. There was torches all over the large room she was in. The flames were many different colors, causing the room to look abstract. She remembered her journey and frowned. She searched for an exit and saw one a couple of yards away from her.
When she reached the door, she saw a whole different scenery. She was now in a dungeon with only two torches that were on the other side of the room. The floor was covered with the bones of the deceased. She felt a prescence she was unfamilar with, so she drew her staff close and let the blades pop out from each end for protection.
She turned around to grab one of the colored torches from the previous room, but found the way she came in gone. She grabbed an unlit torch on the wall and concentrated on it. A large flame appeared inside the torch, un-needy of fuel.
She then continued down the dungeon aisle, cautiously awaiting the worst. And she was right. When she was halfway down she heard a loud hiss. She turned around furiously over and over searching for the maker of this strange and fearful noise. She then heard it again and turned to the direction of the exit. She then saw a giant red snake, mouth open showing its sharp fangs which were dripping poison.
It was coiled up on the floor, squeezing a corpse of a decomposed man who most likely had been killed a couple of days before. It then quickly started moving topwards Rouge. She drew back her staff, ready to strike with all her power. She added magic to her staff to make the blow more effective and dropped her medical bag to give her easier movement.
It came fast, knocking the corpse aside and barely knicked her skin, not making a deep enough cut to give the poison passage. She swung her bladed staff as hard as she could on the rest of the body the snake had left unprotected. It shrieked in pain as it noted that it was now chopped in half. It felt burning go into its blood to, making its body temperature go up at least fifty degress. It lunged at her again with all its strength, for its last prey it would be able to kill. It hit her right in the chest and sunk its sharp teeth into her stomach.
She screamed and sliced it again with her staff. It knocked it right out of her hands and she was left vunerable. At least so the snake thought. She raised her hands and receited a chant, causing the snake to feel even hotter than it was already had been. But the heta was so intense, it began to melt alive.
Rouge quickly got up and crawled her way to her medical supplies and serarched for a remedy for poison. When she found it, she drank it and piured some on then deep holes in her stomach. It made a sizzling sound when it touched them, but this also gaurenteed her life, so it was worth it.
She looked at the puddle of red liquid that was once the snake. She would have cast the spell sooner, but she had ot be closer than she was. She continued to the next room. She cried out in suprise at what she saw. She saw the home of the Dragon Spawn. But what caught her attention the most was the woman smiling at her. The woman was her mother...
"Mother!" She cried out and raced for her. She embraced her mother and cried on her shoulder. She didn't care how her mother got there, she was happy she coudl hug her one last time. She was never given the chance back in the real Home of the Dragon Spawn. But she felt something cold touch her back. She backed away form her mother to see a cutting knife in her mothers hand.
"You aren't my mother!" She just realised. "Sure I am!" The woman said walking closer to her. Rouge loked for escape. The way she came in was now a stone wall. But she saw something suspicious. There was a cave that was never there before. She tried to run to it, but the person who looked like her mother jumped in the way.
"Forgive me mother!" She said, swinging her staff at the fiend and decapitating it. She wouldn't look at it, fearing she would continue to cry. She didn't have time for that, she had to save Middle Earth.
She then ran for the cave, and it led her into a room with a pillar in the center. The room had red walls and painting of fire all over. She examined the pillar and saw a hole in the center. She looked at the ring on her finger and compared the sizes. She nodded her head and placed the ring into the hole. Then she heard the entrance of the cave slam shut like it was a door and she felt the room starting to rise.
She then knew she should be afraid...
