The Hierophant-

More Than Meets the Eye

Prologue

"..." talking

'...' thinking

It's nearly dawn, a time where people are supposed to be in bed, trying to grab the end of their dreams before the sun decides to destroy everything. Supposed to be anyways....

Besides the water, a statued woman stood, she stands high above the ground, proud. Her stoned eyes are somewhat kind, rather than lifeless. Her long dress and hair danced in the wind, always. Her arms raised above her head, hands forming a circle.

A loud cry pierced through the quiet night, then begging sounded out.

"Please! Please, let him go! He's just a harmless panther, he had done nothing wrong!" A girl begged and struggled under the hands of two large men. She's wearing a long black dress with red rose patterns, her long black hair floated in the wind and swung as her body twisted and struggled. Her purple eyes shone with sadness.

Not far away from her, a black panther is lying on the ground, men around him put down their metal bars for a minute for a bit of rest.

"You witch! You and your cursed panther, you are going to destroy this town, and everyone in this town!" A woman yelled shakily, her finger shook as she pointed at the girl. "You tried to kill my son! You witch!"

The girl snapped her head around to face her, tears glittered in her eyes. "I don't know what you're talking about! I love your son, how can I try to kill him! Please, believe me, I'm not a witch!"

"Liar! You.... you see... things in your necklace! Bad things!" The woman yelled again.

As if a cue, the necklace shone, it's pure jade and it rested perfectly upon the girl's neck.

"I don't see bad things in my necklace! I don't see anything at all!"

Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a man raising up his metal bar, she knew that they are going to beat him again. Without a second thought, she stepped on one of the men's foot, he yelped and let go of her. The other man flung back in surprise as she pulled out of their grasp.

Diving, she reached the panther. She placed her entire body on top of the panther, and covered it from all the brutal beatings. However, the metal bars made contact with her body, she screamed immediately. After a couple of blows, blood dripped out of her mouth, and soaked through her dress. Her hands lossened, but didn't exactly let go.

The panther opened it's green eyes and saw the pain his mistress is going through, his eyes went wild. With a growl, he jumped out of her arms and his sharp teeth landed in a man's stomach, the man cried out and fell down onto the ground. The panther jumped back down in front of the girl protectively, and glarred at everyone around them.

The girl took in a deep breath and slowly encircled her arms around the panther's neck, calming it down. She looked at everyone of them, she saw fear in their eyes. Suddenly, her eyes made contact with her love, hope raised within her chest.

"Mark, tell them, I wasn't trying to kill you! I love you, how can I try to kill you?" She pleaded.

Mark just turned and laid his head onto his mother's shoulder and shook all over. "Mom, please, get her away from me, she tried to kill me! Please!"

His mom just patted him comfortingly and looked at her accusingly, she flinched back as she saw this scene.

"Witch! Witch! Burn her! Burn her!" The crowd began chanting, and it grew louder and louder.

Sadness flashed through her eyes, sadness because she cannot believe that Mark would do something like this. Then shock and surprise, she's surprised to find out that everyone actually listened to him, it seemed like a plan that was set up. Then regret, she regretted on giving out her body and her love for... this, this unbelievable ending. Finally, hate glow in her eyes, she hates every one of them, they will all pay.

Smirking, she stood up, and looked at them.

"You say I'm a witch? Then let me show you what a witch can really do!"

With that, she spread out her arms, and her eyes widened. Black clouds hovered over her, as wind picked up, her body was lifted up by the wind, it seemed like she was floating on thin air.

A ball of wind was created in her hand, she turned and the ball of wind hit Mark and his mother dead on, sending them crashing back to the house... or should we call it a castle. They passed out immediately, she then turned towards the men that held the metal bars in their hands, her necklace shone, the green from the necklace and the black from the wind interwined. The men lost their sticks, and was lifted up from the ground, the panther just watched on, as if happy about what's happening.

Just as the men were being lifted higher, suddenly, an unbearable pain formed within her, she screamed and everything went away in a flash. Screaming, she held onto her head and fell onto the ground. Everyone around her just starred, and finally the Priest looked up and gasped.

"It's her! It's the Thgil! It's the light of heaven!"

Everyone looked up and saw a beam of light direcing at the girl, the light entered through the ball formed by Thgil's hands. It shone on the girl, making her scream out in pain.

Finally, she couldn't take it anymore, she looked up at them with pure hate in her eyes.

"I curse you! I curse all of you! Your generations ahead of you will not live through their fullest! I will come back and I will make sure to send them all to meet Lord Hades!"

With a final cry, the light of heaven covered her and the panther up completely, and after a second, they were gone. And everything returned to normal as the sun rose above the water.

"Where... did she go?" A guy asked fearfully, the Priest frowned and looked up at Thgil.

"Inside Thgil, she had trapped them deep within her, they will never come back again!" He said powerfully.

Everyone was quiet, a breeze blew by, they could almost hear her heart breaking pleas for help, and her full of hate curse.... never ending... flowing with the wind always....

TBC....
