Chapter 11 Pandora's Box

[Morgiana's POV]

"Gyokuen..." I said in shock. She smiled wickedly and grabbed my shoulders and turned me around, locking my arms and she flicked her fingers. The statue just stopped and it fell to the floor like a broken doll. Using her other hand, she turn my head to Hakuryuu's direction, the moonlight from the glass above shining like black light.

"Oh look who's here... Why if it isn't Prince Charming saving his precious princess," Gyokuen said, provoking Hakuryuu and the group. She laughed wickedly, her voice echoing in the hall. I looked around but I couldn't see or sense any of the other girls there, where did they go?

"What are you trying to do?" Aladdin said calmly, staring straight into Gyokuen's eyes. She stopped laughing but maintained her eerie smile.

"Wouldn't you like to know, Oh great Magi..." She said, taunting him. "You have played your parts in the game terrifyingly incredible but I'm afraid... This will have to end," she said as she let go of my hands and raised her hand, making all the circles on the floor glow and shine with letters that I don't understand. Barriers was casts on Hakuryuu and the others.

"MORGIANA!" he shouted, punching his fists on the nearly impermeable barrier surrounding him.

I looked at myself and i saw blood dripping to the floor. I suddenly felt excruciating pain. Something was tearing me from the inside but I didn't know what it was. I started chocking and coughing out blood. Terrified, I started screaming out cries of agony. It hurts so bad, more like my life is being ripped out of my body. Tears started pouring out of my eyes, scarlet tears spattered as it hits the floor.

"Shhh... It's okay, soon it will be all over... Look there, your dear Hakuryuu would be experiencing the same thing," Gyokuen said as she turned my head towards Hakuryuu and I saw it too, he also was suffering the same as me, but he wasn't giving up. I cough up more blood. I had no more strength left in me. Everything looked so bright, I couldn't see anything, I could only hear words, inaudible words. I fell down, hearing Gyokuen saying something, Alibaba calling me and Hakuryuu... but I couldn't see anything anymore except darkness.

The ground started shaking. "What the hell is going on?!" Alibaba said.

"This is bad! We have to do something or not... "Aladdin said, looking down, looking like he was trying to find a word to describe what he wanted to say.

Tears started dropping down the witch's face and she smiled. "Ahh... Father, we finally can meet again!" Gyokuen said, lifting her hands towards the unconscious Hakuryuu, with Morgiana's lifeless body behind her.

"Hakuryuu, wake up! Hakuryuu!" Alibaba shouted at him, nudging Hakuryuu.

Suddenly Hakuryuu's body jerked, black rukh emerged from the ground around him, as he started to get up.

Aladdin's eyes flew wide open. "Get back Alibaba-san!" he said as he ran in front of Alibaba and raised his staff towards Hakuryuu, getting ready to attack. The barrier started to disperse. Hakuryuu started to get up and when he was fully standing, black rukh started to appear from the eerie aura around him, his eyes still shut closed.

"Finally! Father! We finally meet!" Gyokuen said, a joyful expression showing on her face, allowing her arms to fall perfectly beside her. Hakuryuu's eyes slowly open, his eyes were as red as the crimson moon that hung above the group.

"Hakuryuu…." Alibaba said in shock as the two started to realize that that might not be the Hakuryuu they know.

Hakuryuu's eyes slowly open, his eyes were as red as the crimson moon that hung above the group. He looked around before turning to Gyokuen. "Gyokuen… that girl behind you… Who is she?"

Gyokuen bowed to him, as she looked to Morgiana's body, she said, "That girl is the sacrifice to bring you back and for your revenge."

"She's Cynoria's vessel then," Hakuryuu said as he had a smirk on his face.
