Hazel sat on the Heavenly tower, looking down at the realm , not knowing where to begin. She wanted answers? Yes. … but where does she start? Throwing her head back, something caught her attention…. or was it someplace? She looked again but she couldn't see anything. Then she decided to check it out . She walked till the reached the highest place in the realm , it was located at the outskirts of the realm but she couldn't see anything, she walked around but nothing. She concluded it was tiredness and walked back to the tower . She was exhausted by the time she got there and rested on it . She didn't or rather , no longer had a home so the tower was the easiest place for her to stay. She was starving, tired and angry. She sighed as her eyes went back to the outskirts and this time she looked away, sat with folded legs and began her meditation. She inhaled then exhaled, held her breath and went again. This movement was done repeatedly till the next morning. She opened her eyes at exactly sunrise. The brightness hit her eyes and clouded her vision causing her to tumble and fall off the tower but at that same moment she saw the outskirts again and this time she was it , a valley but she didn't have enough time to ponder as she hit the floor hard with instant injuries. She tried standing but fell helplessly to the floor again. She dusted herself and stood again but with one step , she came tumbling again. The weather got cloudy and she cursed under her breath and tried to get up angrily but fell again, this time hitting her leg hard which caused it to bleed . She tried again and fell and again and again and she got so frustrated that her emotions began to go haywire. She stood again and as she was expecting to hit the floor again, someone held her . She turned her head to meet the last person she expected. Of course this person didn't smile at her.
" Her dominant aura filled the air " Weak".
" Why are you here? She looked at her condescendingly "You?
" You are a person of little words"
"And you are hopeless"
Hazel rolled her eyes " I dont need your pity" saying this she yanked her arm away, limping away but this person just smirked.
"Turn" the voice ordered.
Hazel cursed under her breath " You don't ....."
"Don't what ?
Hazel's voice disappeared as her face came in touch with MORA. The sharp glassy blade with fire imprinted words "MORA" scared her . The sword changed colour to red , burning with immense hate and sweats began to form on her face . How could she forget that the owner is likely to be the first Deity of Hate, with hatred that burns, extinguish and eradicate those who cross her path . She never wore a smile , her face was always hardened, her hair was the longest in the realm , flowing with authority and order , her gaze sharper than an eagle, her eyes.... and that ring ….. it never left her finger and she didn't need anyone to tell her it meant more than a lot now .
Hazel struggled to maintain a balance as the sword traced her face and down her neck resting on it ever so glazing hot . Her skin burned at its effect and cold ran down her spine .
With a racing heart, she managed to put a few words out … " It burns"
The lady smiled " As it's supposed to"
" What do you want?
The lady responded with a glare to her soul as she couldn't help but pray her life doesn't end right now .
" What do you think Zel ?
The sword was burning through her skin and tears slowly trickled down her face….
" P…l ..e..ase…
The lady looked unmoved then removed the sword and Hazel fell to her feet..
Looking down on her , her expression remained the same "Now that's how it's meant to be …. Don't you agree?
Hazel shrinked in fear .
The lady stretched forth her hand "I need your help"
Hazel raised her head up and took the hand , rising to her feet while the other hand was on her burnt skin. The lady glanced at the skin and asked her to turn .
"Close your eyes"
Hazel complied and was expecting to feel some relief afterwards but how could she forget she was dealing with the holder of MORA.. she exuded nothing less painful and while she was distracted by her thoughts, the lady stabbed her on her shoulder.
" Ahhhh" Hazel collapsed.
The lady rolled her eyes " weak"
She drew back her sword and wiped some of the blood on it and applied it on Hazel's burnt skin. It burned deeper as her body shook but as soon the pain came , the skin changed back to normal relieving her instantly. She then brought out a small bottle and wiped the remaining blood into it . She then bent down, tore a little of Hazel's cloth and wiped her sword clean .
" Rise or I might really be tempted to kill you"her voice came icily .
Hazel didn't move ….
The lady scoffed, bent and carried her princess style. Then whispered softly "
Hold on tight chikita".
Hazel face turned bright red and grew hot , sadly,the lady didn't notice which was a good thing for Hazel . She couldn't risk her knowing she had a thing for her.
The lady glanced at the " sleeping Hazel" and chuckled lightly.
After what seemed like a murderous flight , she finally stopped at a blank place and gently nudged her to wake up.
Hazel regained her consciousness after the lady carried her and gently came down.
" What are we doing here?
The lady gazed at the blank place " Answers . I need you to open it"
Hazel scoffed " open what exactly? This place is practically empty and blank"
" You just can't see it doesn't mean it's not there Hazel"
" Are you insane?
The lady suddenly grabbed her by the waist and her heart skipped a bit
" Then why don't you make me sane? Her breath lingered over Hazel's body and Hazel tried to meet everywhere but the lady's eyes .
She then released her and moved closer..
"What are you doing Iris?
For the first time in a long time she saw her smile
"So you do know my name ?
Hazel looked away " it's hard not to"
Iris chuckled coldly " Glad to see I left such an impact on you"
By now their faces were inches away from each other and Hazel hated how attractive she was and hated how her body betrayed her but looking at that face again, it's hard to decide if she really hated her or the fact she never did more than flirt with her .
Iris leaned in and Hazel gulped as she whispered into her ear " Open it".
"Open what?
Iris then raise Hazel face to meet hers "
CLAN VALLEY"
Meeting her eyes , Hazel knew she was finally back . Not only did MORA reappear but it came with its holder " IRIS!
And she couldn't help but wonder if this time they can finally finish their part of their story or will it always remain a cliffhanger?
