Chapter 2
A number of soldiers with swords hanging from their belts were running swiftly in fields. Clanging of the steel against their armor echoed through the air with the stomping of their feet against the dirt. A huge leading soldier with short blonde hair, broad shoulders, green eyes, and a muscular body was ahead of the whole group. "Don't get her out of your sight!"
A women running from them was wearing a black cloak. She was running toward a cliff just at the edge of the field. Soldiers were panting and gasping for air as they were staggering behind while the head soldier pushed forward. The wind pushed the cloak of the women back. Her white legs were shown with her short loose white tunic. She heard the man behind her panting. He was pushing hard and closing in on her. The cliff was in her sight while trees and bushes brushed up against her and the soldier. Closing from behind and the cliff getting closer she started to laugh. She leapt at the edge of the cliff. Everything went silent and the shout of the soldier broke the silence. He grabbed her by her left ankle. She turned down and her cloak flowed down behind her head. Her tunic shirt slid down under her breasts with a three winged dragon tattoo on her back. It was silver with blue glowing eyes with its mouth open and a light ball in its mouth. Her face showed glowing blue eyes and short black hair pocked out from the hood. She crossed her arms and pouted. Another black tattoo showed going down her right thigh. "That's not fair Damon!" Damon grinned showing his teeth, perfect teeth that sparkled in the sun light. "Sorry Lady Fei, but we did have to stop you. What would Jecope say if you left?" Fei turned her head while her arms were still crossed. "The same thing he always says, 'Fei you know you can't leave. You're the last Baha and do you know what kind of power you have? Other people and demons could use that against you. Don't do this again; you'll scare the shit out of me.' That's what he always says." Damon turned and started laughing. With Fei still pouting cross armed by her leg. The sun started going down when they reached the village. The village of Dempan was the home city of Fei. Being raised their most of her life by Jecope. Villagers stated to gather around the entrance when they saw Fei and Damon approaching. The other soldiers from before waited and hurled around Damon and Fei. Damon set Fei down as they walked through the village entrance. Her hair was down length wise to her shoulders. The villagers made a bridge with lines of people around them, with voices of praise toward Fei and waves of delight. The soldiers kept the distance between Fei and the villagers. Fei bowed toward some of them, shook hands, and waved. The sky continued to get darker. A palace was seen like a shadow In front of them. The stone structure made the soldiers shiver. Fei smiled and continued walking with Damon. The drawbridge shingled with the chain against the big wheel.
Rumbling went through the ground when it hit the stopper on the ground. The moat swished with the wind as splashes of fish swam inside. It was clean and sparkled with the remaining light from the sun. The soldiers followed Fei and Damon inside. The halls were dimly lit with the torches flickering by the incoming air.
The footsteps of them were echoing through the halls. The cold damp feeling brought shivers up the soldiers back. A huge roar made them jump and run the opposite direction. Damon picked up a rock on the floor and threw it at them. One got hit and collapsed on the ground with a big welt on the top of his head. Damon and Fei then continued through the hall. A bright light showed at the end of the hall that made Fei fell nervous all the sudden. She didn't show it to Damon but continued walking. The hard footsteps on the stone stopped when they reached a red carpet, mostly the ones that kings used inside of their kingdoms. A man with long brown hair pulled back in a braid and a red robe paced back and forth in front of them.
He jerked his head showing yellow eyes and a slightly wrinkled face. His eyes widened and ran toward Fei and Damon. Fei kept her body straight with Damon's as he approached them.
"Damon did she do it again!?" Damon looked down at Fei to his left as he saw a big grin on her face. Damon had to cough from laughing. "Yes sir she did." Fei patted him on the shoulder and thanked him for being so honest. The man turned to Fei as his wrinkled brow expressed his anger toward her.
"Fei I told you never to do that. There are people out there right now who want to kill you." Fei felt a sharp pain resonating from the back of her neck. She touched her neck but no blood was their, even though it felt like it. She looked at Damon who was still standing straight and had a faceless expression. Only thing noticeable was his brow wrinkled together.
Fei looked at Jecope who was cringing at her. She felt scared for all the things out there who wanted her power. "Jecope I know who I am. I know what I'm capable of." She felt something warm and wet on her hands. A flash went through her mind that she was in a black room with dead people on the floor. She was drenched with blood and she was the only one alive in the room. She looked at her hands as it was dripping with blood. As she looked up the flash disappeared and she was looking at Jecope. Her hands were clean again but were shaking a little. "I just don't know how to stop what I unleash."
Jecope sighed and turned his back to her. He placed his hands in his sleeves and shook his head. "Damon escort Fei to her room. Fei get some sleep and we'll talk about this some more in the morning."
Damon bowed and turned to Fei. Her eyes focused on Jecope and turned around. She moved to the huge stairs that created a U-shape to the second floor. Damon followed closely behind as she silently moved through people. None of the people around her wanted to disturb her, so they created a path for her. Some gave her smiles but Fei didn't seem to notice.
"Fei this isn't like you. You're always hyper after Jecope yells at you. What is the matter?" Fei kept walking but turned her head a little, "I know but now I'm just a little tired right now. I just want to clean up and take a nap." Damon looked at her as she walked a little faster. He just sighed and continued to follow her.
The second floor was damp and cool. It had portraits of Jecope's family and Damon's also. Fei didn't have any pictures of her or her family. Mostly the halls were filled with doors and other connecting hallways. Paintings were mostly used on the floor and hung above the blood colored carpet. It mostly smelled of yellow tulips every night and roses in the morning. The third floor was as big as the second but on one hallway had two big brass doors. It was dimly lit when going down but felt warmer than any part of the palace.
"Lady Fei I hope you stay in your room. It's going to be sunset soon so try and get some sleep." Fei bowed to Damon who saluted by placing his right fist to his chest, standing straight, and his left arm at his side. "Thank you Damon." Damon went down the stairs while Fei opened the doors.
The smell of lilacs filled her senses. The room was pure white. Everything was white except the ceiling that had a painting of the silver dragon like the one on her back. She closed the doors and looked around her room. A cushioned couch was to her left that could be used as a bed. A table was in front that had two white candles and white tulips in water in the center of the candles. A painting above it was her as a child learning to walk. In front of her was a glass window that had white drapes hanging from it. Outside of the window was the top floor roof that went down to the grazing barn. To the right of the window was her bed. It was able to fit twenty solders on it and had a covering on the top. The sheets were silk and the pillows were polyester. A dresser was next to it that had her under garments and night clothes. She went to the door to the right of her next to the bed. As she opened it a sink with flowered soap with her tooth brush and paste was to her left. The bathtub was to the right of it that could fit her and two more people. It was a full sized bathroom that had a walk in closet that had all of her clothes.
Fei turned the water on and felt until it was warm. She put the stopper on the drain as it slowly filled up and roared every inch it filled. She slipped her cloak and tunic off. They slid down her body like flowing silk. Her smooth hairless body showed her tattoos. She looked at herself in the mirror as she saw she looked scared. She rubbed her face with her hands, and as she looked again she was covered with blood on her face and hands.
She fell backwards and thumped on the floor. She looked at her hands and saw no blood on them. She balled her self up and sighed. Fei stood up and turned the water off. She carefully stepped inside and lay all the way down. She washed herself and dried herself with the towel next to her. She looked in the mirror once again, "Why do I keep seeing these images?"
Fei walked out with the towel wrapped around her. She went to her dresser and put on a white thong and bra. She found a silk robe and placed it over her. She tied it at her waist as it lengthened down to her thighs. A huge rumble made her jump and walk over to her window. She opened the lock and pushed it open. It was dark out and she felt nausea taking her in. The wind blew up against her wet hair as she grabbed a brush and combed her hair. She went back to the window and saw the moon, it was glowing yellow.
A huge blast echoed through the air. She flinched and looked down and around the premises. The main gate was on fire and dark figures ran inside. Fei heard a knock on her door. She lifted an eye brow and hesitantly moved toward the door. She reached for the knob when it flung open.
A man wearing black jumped on her. He pinned her down and laughed. "I found you, now be nice and come with me." Fei gritted her teeth and pushed the guy off her. Fei placed her palms on the floor behind her and flipped her legs backwards. The man grunted while he got up. Fei stared at him while she stood with knees bent and arms looking like she was pulling a bow. She was in her fighting stance as she learned to do when ready to fight.
The man laughed as he pulled his sword out from the sheath at his side. She watched him intently as he charged toward her. The sword raised and ready to slice her from head to toe. She stood straight and caught the sword in-between her hands. He was using all his strength but Fei just started to laugh. "How do you expect to capture me when you're so weak?"
Fei turned her arms and the blade flipped out of the guys hands. He watched as she flipped over him catching the handle and landing behind him. She sliced him horizontally. He stared at the white drapes as his vision became un-even. "How?" He split in opposite directions falling on the white floor. A gurgle came from his body as blood was being soaked up like a sponge on the floor.
Fei threw down the sword and headed toward the door. She poked her head through the door and a huge fire ball lunged toward her. Fei jumped back and almost tripped over herself. The ball didn't set fire to anything but it made a singe in the wall. Fei gasped as she jumped at the site. "Wizards! They brought wizards with them."
A man wearing a blue robe walked in. His long white hair was pulled up in a pony tail. His orange eyes pierced through her as others gathered from behind. He raised his hand slightly above his waist, "Capture her but don't kill her. We need her to full fill our goal." The wizards behind bowed with their right hand placed on their left shoulder. One to the right of him wearing black with golden symbols painted on like the others spoke. "Yes master Garoon."
The wizard then started moving toward her like a flowing river. A black river with golden light which made Fei growl. She took another glimpse at the blue robed wizard that stood in the middle. "Garoon?" Fei quickly turned and jumped out the window. She slid down the stony surface and smashed into the grazing barn roof. She landed on a stack of hay and scared all the animals inside. The wizards through fire balls but the roof made a protective shield for her. Fei looked around and found an armored horse caught on a carriage. She rushed over and jumped on its back. She untied the caught rein and kicked the sides of the horse to move.
The horse yelped and galloped the direction Fei wanted it to go. It jumped over the fence of the barn and toward the main gate where the attackers came in. Fei yelled at the horse to go faster. It trampled over dead and bloody bodies as it went. Some attacking troops blocked the entrance but were trampled and stepped on. The horse crushed one mans skull and the blood sprayed on her legs.
The horse continued to gallop while some wizards and swordsmen chased her with their steeds. Fei was deciding to lead the horse to the cliff but had to change course because of reinforcements. Fei had to take the horse the forbidden way. She knew it was the way of the Ancient wizard Naraku that sleeps there but had no choice. Rushing through the grass it suddenly became dirt. Grass seemed to have stopped growing around here. Signs and warnings to turn back flew past her but the followers didn't seem to mind them either.
Fei saw the cave in front of her. It wasn't too far away but it was boarded up. She thought if she could past that they wouldn't chase her after the cave, because of the curse of passing the ancient tomb. The horse was soaked with its own sweat and blood from the men. The wind on Fei's face felt like swords stabbing her constantly. Her legs felt warm because of the fresh blood on them. She knew she was a good deal ahead of them but looked back anyway. A huge fire ball was lunging toward her. Fei didn't have time to react it was already too late.
The ball hit the horse's hind legs. The horse screamed while its legs were disintegrating. Fei was pulled forward when it fell and she smashed through the boarded entrance to the cave. She tumbled down the steep tunnel and stopped at the bottom. The sound of trickling water helped her know she was still alive. Fei staggered as she got up, while her shoulder pounded when she fell off the horse and hit the boards.
Fei gasped when she saw a white haired man that had his hair lengthened down to the back of his thigh in some type of layers sealed in a crystal. The man was naked while his arms were down at his side. He looked like he was standing straight. His eyes closed with a faceless expression, but to Fei he looked handsome.
Fei went up to it and placed her palm on the seal. It started to crack around her hand. She pulled it back while it continued to crack slowly. Fei stepped back and the ground started to shake. The seal started to glow red and a pulsing heart was heard from it.
A number of soldiers with swords hanging from their belts were running swiftly in fields. Clanging of the steel against their armor echoed through the air with the stomping of their feet against the dirt. A huge leading soldier with short blonde hair, broad shoulders, green eyes, and a muscular body was ahead of the whole group. "Don't get her out of your sight!"
A women running from them was wearing a black cloak. She was running toward a cliff just at the edge of the field. Soldiers were panting and gasping for air as they were staggering behind while the head soldier pushed forward. The wind pushed the cloak of the women back. Her white legs were shown with her short loose white tunic. She heard the man behind her panting. He was pushing hard and closing in on her. The cliff was in her sight while trees and bushes brushed up against her and the soldier. Closing from behind and the cliff getting closer she started to laugh. She leapt at the edge of the cliff. Everything went silent and the shout of the soldier broke the silence. He grabbed her by her left ankle. She turned down and her cloak flowed down behind her head. Her tunic shirt slid down under her breasts with a three winged dragon tattoo on her back. It was silver with blue glowing eyes with its mouth open and a light ball in its mouth.
