"Is this one of the Suriel?" I ask. He just stands there like a lifeless figure. A black and thin robe with a black hood on him, faceless, except for the two sparkling red beads illuminating from his hidden face in front of me. People were right about the danger, the risk and darkness he offered. I could feel it in my bones. A shiver went through my spine.
"What is it that you would want from me, oh human maiden? Why did you summon me today?" His ominous voice reaches to me, almost like a spell of hypnosis.
I bow and reply, "How do I gain power? How do I become the most powerful person of Prythian, make my enemies' knees sink into the ground until they get paralyzed?"
He said, looking up at the sky, "I can feel the blackness of your heart, the darkness for vengeance and bloodlust of your enemies. You have to become a Fae in order to be the ruthless, powerful being that you desire to be. In order to get this, you have to sacrifice the one thing that would hold you back."
"And what is that, Oh Suriel?"
He gave a longer than usual pause as if he was assessing my thoughts and intentions. "You have to sacrifice your heart to the Cauldron situated in the Castle of Hybern. You have to immerse yourself in the Cauldron to become Fae: To change your destiny. But I must warn you that a human girl will be your undoing. She will be the curse breaker of Prythian that you will put everyone into." His ominous voice shivered my bones. He removed his hood and I could see his awfully boney face, his head looked like a shaved chicken. He smiled at me. "Today, the odds seem to be in your favor hence I will give you something to turn your dream into reality. But you have to make one promise to me Amna."
I bow my head and see his fingers tapping at his thigh.
"And what is that Oh Suriel?", I reply
"I want to give you some of the darkest of the dark magic that is made by the oldest witches Under The Mountain. This will give you power and guidance. But first, you have to promise me one thing, promise me that you will never seek to kill the clan of Suriel when you come to power."
I looked up at his bald, boney face that offered such treachery that no one could ever know it existed.
"I promise." I said.
And that very moment, I fell into a deep trance. And then, I could feel an indescribable strength in my hands, in my eyes and all over my body. There was rage and power that ruled my senses, a power unquenchable, untamable. I shuddered for a few seconds and I felt like I was possessed.
I looked up at the Suriel and let this encounter with him seep into me. I gave a smirk and walked towards him, "Not until I sacrifice you heart," I ripped his heart right out of his chest. With his thick black beating heart in my hands, I could control him and have the infinite knowledge that the Suriel has. A certain darkness that I never felt before consumed the very core of my soul. This was the beginning of my destiny. The genesis of my legacy, the legacy that I can control. I could control the Suriel because I could, and I sensed that he loved me.
