Chapter 9
Sorceress and Empress
Magama Nemesis sat down in her scarlet velvet chair and sighed. Now what do I have to do? I already have the two most powerful Guardians and now all of a sudden the rest are gone? No! Where did that old windbag hide them!?! No one messes with my plans! These pathetic humans don't know what they are meddling in! Magama stood up and walked over to her large mirror. Her fiery fur and green cat eyes were a charm and she loved them. Her mother Korona was not a resemblance at all and her father? Who knew? She never met him before and didn't care. Her mother.now she was a different story. Evil and crazy beyond redemption. I am more sane then her and more clever, and yet she orders me to do tedious little things for her. Like steal the Guardians, I only have two. Bahamut will be a great mount and Eden my great destroyer of all human kind. All I have to do is possess them.oh I must not forget my own original guardian, Angel. That guardian may seem heavenly, but it was noxious from her fingertips to her very core. Now let's see my mothers pet is roaming the planet destroying towns and cities galore and his little friends are helping him. How wonderful. Once her mother accomplishes her tasks, I will let her die with the rest of the planet and I will become ultimate sorceress!
"Magama! Where have you been!?" a female voice echoed across the room.
"I just came back from work. Is there a problem mother?" Magama asked innocently as she went out onto the dreary balcony. Korona appeared beside her clutching the dead wood. Her black and violet robe swayed in the light wind and lighting highlights danced with her ebony black hair. She seemed to be angry and crazy at the same time.
"Hades is on schedule and I am glad that you are back. Do you have the guardians?" Korona asked as she looked at the cloudy sky.
"Yes, but only two."
"I demanded all of them! Which ones?"
"The great Guardian Bahamut and the Guardian, Eden. Theses two should suffice you." Magama answered.
"That is well, but not all. I want all of them. I want power out of the hands of humans. They must not obtain them or we shall have a bigger confront then before. We want them weak and helpless. Is that clear?" she asked angrily.
"Yes mother, as you wish." Magama replied with a bow.
"I will want all the guardians. No matter how you do it get them!" Korona yelled and her voice faded with her body. Magama angrily turned away and walked back into her room. How dare she yell at me.she doesn't even know that I am becoming much more powerful then her. Once I obtain her powers, then my power will develop beyond even the great Sorceress Ultimecia. Blood magic.Ah blood and the life source of a being; such a sweet delicacy. Now that I mention it I'm hungry.
"Servant! Bring me a slave!" Magama roared out. Minutes later the servant stumbled in with a man by her side. He was beaten and weak but his pride and anger lurked within.
"That is all, leave us." Magama purred. The servant obeyed and stepped outside of her chambers. Magama purred as she walked over to her beaten slave.
"What do you want witch?" he whispered hoarsely. She giggled as she watched him struggle to stand straight. "I want you.your life and soul!" she laughed out loud. The man paled but kept his ground. A red aura engulfed the slave and beat equally with his heart. Magama raised her hand and seconds later large claws appeared. Brilliantly polished waiting to consume their victim's blood. With one swipe Magama slit the man's right side. Exposing his ribs, she watched the blood slide down his waist and legs until it hit the floor and swam toward her bare feet. The blood licked her paws and she laughed evilly. With her other claw she slashed his other side therefore causing more blood to gush out. The man stood there pain engulfed his face and yet he stood still as a statue watching, listening, and hearing his life spill away toward the sorceress. He couldn't control himself the red aura held him down and he screamed inside his head. Suddenly he began to feel light and tired.someone called out to him. He was slipping he could feel it. Gaia was calling him and it was better to return to Gaia then watch himself get cut into pieces.
Magama smiled when she saw her victim loose hold onto his life, watched him try to stay. She shook her head, go back to Gaia fool, the more the merrier. He began to glow lightly and then pulsed more brightly. The soul, the life source. Magama whispered a spell and the soul was ripped from it's course and Magama consumed it. She heard it scream and she loved it. A few minutes later, everything was over. She wasn't hungry anymore but full. Her meal was good and she felt sleepy. She waved her hand at the still standing corpse and it collapsed to the ground. She called to her servant again and he came in to collect whatever was left. Her eyes closed and she was purring away into her dreams.

Korona sat on her throne, the throne that belonged to her mentor, Ultimecia. She pondered as she watched the blackness in the citadel. She moved her castle to the planet and settled in the Centra Plains deserts. She was secluded with large mountains and the heat was to die for. Three spies emerged from the shadows and slithered over to the sorceress.
"My empress, our greatest apologies. We have arrived at your command." The middle one said. The right one slithered closer to her and bowed, "Your beauty surpasses me. Let me be your champion. I am known far and wide, I am the most skilled in combat. Let me be your knight." It pleaded. Korona seemed amused. True every sorceress needs a knight, "Very well, you shall be my knight but if you fail I will choose another." She explained. It bowed and slithered back into place. She observed them closely and they all resembled humans but they had more snake in them. Their faces were of cobras, their skin of scales, claws the size of a dragons and eyes that laminated all light. The middle spoke again," Empress, what is your command?"
"Go find Hades and tell him that I sent you. You two shall help him accomplish what I need. And you my knight, I want you to go watch over my daughter. She seems a bit too ambitious." They bowed their heads and left. Yes, Magama, my sweet daughter, you want more then you desire and that is unhealthful. Korona roared her glee out into the night. Everything was according to plan.

Magama awoke a few hours later.someone was in her chambers. She hissed and sat up. Every inch of her red fur stood up right.
"Who is here! Show yourself!" Magama roared out. A shadow emerged and it bowed to her.
"I have been told to look after you." It answered.
"Who has!" she yelled out.
"The empress, your mother. She wants me to keep you out of trouble." Magama rolled her eyes and spat at the ground. How dare she do that to me! I don't need anyone to take care of me!
"Leave and tell her that as much as I appreciate her concern, I don't need to be watched." She said. The creature bowed and left soundlessly. Mokars.what does my mother want with mokars? The last have been dead centuries ago, which is unless she resurrected them. how stupid can she be, she just lost tons of power! She stood up and walked onto the lanai. The eastern sky was beginning to glow with the promise of another hot day. She invoked a spell and her body began to disfigure into a red hawk. She was larger then the normal ones. She pumped her wings and she jumped off the banister. The airstreams picked her up and up until she was above the sun's high temperature. Magama didn't care where she would go, just as long it was away from Korona. Her mother's idea of time compression was brilliant, yet why couldn't the famous Ultimecia fulfill it? With her mother's knowledge more witches have become sorceresses and there was a council of them. All ten had been granted power and she was one of those ten. Her mother's right side. Korona was her real mother but she was no mother at all. No comfort no love. Her real mother that at least loved her was an animal, a monster chimera named Valicous. How she missed her; after Korona destroyed her Korona took Magama to this citadel. Korona taught her magic! Blood magic and black magic interested her and she soon caught on forgetting her chimera mother and every kindness and love in the world. That was in the past and there was nothing left for her except the future of her glorious reign. Right more young life sources was all she needed and she was hungry for blood.
