The Kingdom of Grace
Chapter 11

The dark witch slithers to her mirror while she’s speaking to her friends inside her mind, her body has three-fourths of the transformation into a snake form, her legs is fusion into one long tail, her facial has rapidly change as her eyes were big and wide open as a snake see during nightfall, her eyes is no longer showing as it hides behind her head, and her fingernails become deadly as the colours of her nails represent a death wish.

“Yes, yes, I must say, without you all helping my desires come true, I’ll still be that pathetic lord’s assistant for the rest of eternity, and by eliminating the alpha of the hellhounds, I’ll take control of their territory and they’ll all call me mother.”, the dark witch said before she and the voices of unknown evil laughs hysterical.

“You will show all of them the true strength of a God and then they’ll bow down to you, my lord.”, voice #1 said.

“Show them no mercy if they betrayed your trust, my lord.”, voice #2 said.

“Show every man that a powerful God like you shouldn’t be mess with and forced them to become your slaves for eternity.”, voice #3 said.

“Not everyone’s going to be pleased about your plan to rule the realms, but their opinion should be limited to no excuse no matter what your plan is.”, voice #4 said.

“Yes, yes, and no one’s going to replace out until…… Oh, I have company. Be well, my friends.”, the dark witch said before she slither to her new foundly bed.

The mother hellhound enters the dark witch’s chamber room with the expression of not surprise to see her dead, the dark witch was gobsmacked to see the mother hellhound alive, and then moves on to her second phrase of killing her opponent. She closes the door, pours two cups of green tea, hands the cup with more poison to the mother hellhound, and then they try to sip the tea before beginning their chinwag. The mother hellhound pretend to sip the tea to avoid too much poison inside her system, even though she’s immune to all poison, the poison affect her mind to go beyond insane without food for weeks before start hunting her prey, and the dark witch was still gobsmacked to witness her opponent drinking small sips of tea before placing the tea on the dresser.

“Milady, I’m glad to see you. As lovely as you are everyday for the last 2,000 years or more, but that’s not why you’re here. I would like to explain a bit of myself lately as my mind hasn’t been relaxing since we schedule for the ceremony in four days.”, the dark witch said as she butchers in her mother hellhound’s eyes.

“Yes, you do. Before this, you were so kind to me, telling me that my body was as beautiful as the night sky, and loved me everyday for the last 300 years until now. My daughters are getting killed since we took over half of England, they’re frightened about their recent attacks from one strange creature, and their clues point toward you. I don’t understand if you don’t want my daughters to be part of our future ruling the Netherworld, then I…”, mother hellhound said before she was silenced by the dark witch with her finger on her mouth.

“Shhh! Hear the sound of love coming through our soul? Hear the sound of attention coming toward our ears? Hear the sound of…”, the dark witch said before she was interrupted by the mother hellhound.

“Listen, I know what kind of games you’re playing on my mind right now, I want to believe you that you didn’t try to kill or poison my daughters because you trying to get close to me, but there’s one simple problem.”, mother hellhound said as she crosses her right leg onto the top of her left leg.

“Tell me, what’s the simple problem you’re trying to make a point of, milady?”, the dark witch said as she butchers into the mother hellhound’s eyes.

“The problem is I want you to get a closer butcher at me because if I found out you’re responsible for the deaths of my daughters, then I’ll go full mode and kill you. I’ll destroy everything we worked on over the last 300 years, turn into a shredded nothingness, and forget about our love. Think about it before you do something and now if you excuse me, I would rather listen to stories than being with a creature who wants the centre of attention.“, mother hellhound said before she exits the dark witch’s chamber.

The dark witch thought her plan was to get the mother hellhound poison through one cup of green tea and when she saw her alive as she entered her chamber, she made more green tea with more than 50% poison from her fang, and the plan wasn’t successful. She went furious, throwing the tea pot across the room, the tea cups were thrown into the mirror, and then she lifted her entire bed before she threw it over the door. She hissed as she slithers back and forth in her chamber to come with a plan to destroy the mother hellhound before she could kill her and then she hears the voices of unknown evil return inside her mind and she was laughing softly as she slithers toward the shattered mirror.

“My friends, you’re just on time as I fear my cover will be exposed by the mother hellhound. slithersWhat should I do in order to make her life more miserable and painful?“, the dark witch said.

“Take that precious girl as your prize and she’ll have to surrender to keep her alive.“, voice #1 said.

“Torture her mind using a forbidden spell until she yields.“, voice #2 said.

“I wish it was possible for me to do a forbidden spell, but the last time I tried to perform a spell toward the former commander, the spell backfired and my body took a massive hit of pure negative energy wave.“, the dark witch said.

“Are you saying you’re weak like a human?!“, voice #3 said.

“We only help those who want power over all the realms, not a weak creature like you!!“, voice #4 said.

“Stop it! I’m not a weak link here! It’s my destiny to be… It’s my destiny to become the next lord!“, the dark said as she covers her ears to avoid the negative thoughts.

“You’re crying for your mommy, why you just give it up, and let us be the way we were before we met a weak witch!!“, the voices said repeating until the dark witch hit her fist on her dresser.

“Okay, you win! I’ll show you and all the creatures and humans that I’m the next lord who rules all realms!! There’s only one God and that God is me, not him.“, the dark witch said before the voices left.

She laughs hysterically as she sharps her nails, puts on her facial make-up by using snake venom to let her enemies get a taste of her poison, she exits her chamber to locate Sarah and then brings her back into her chamber until the mother hellhound comes to the rescue. Smirk on both sides of her face, she feels confident that her cover is no longer a threat to any creatures that try to ruin her future and she can assure that the prisoners are considered her puppets instead of witnessing her full dark magic.

Selena, Sarah G., and their two other sisters returned to the prison cell with the ingredients for curing their stomach from poison. It has been over 50 hours since they got poisoned by the dark witch, Eliza instructs them to mix the ingredients together and put it inside a small glass potion, and then each hellhound takes a sip of the potion before they close the potion. The group was waiting for the potion to work and whether it can get rid of most poison out of their system or not, they felt their stomach release the deadly acid of the poison upward, and then they had to burst a loud burp.

“Oh my, please excuse me for that behaviour.“, Sarah G. said as she covers her mouth.

“Since when do you have proper manners toward anyone? This is Netherworld, sweetheart, not the classic British world.“, hellhound #20 said before she and hellhound #21 were laughing.

“You’re both the worst sisters I’ve experienced over the last three weeks. To be honest, I wish I was dead again and sentenced to the wasteland.“, Selena said as she folded her arms in.

“Well, excuse us, how dare you speak about our flat? In case you noticed, we’re proud citizens of England and represent the Christianity.“, Harry said before he barks at hellhounds #20 and #21.

“Butcher, sister, they got a talking puppy and we should be bloody careful about holding him.“, hellhound #21 said.

“Here, puppy, puppy, here, puppy, puppy, we got you some treats.“, hellhound #20 said as she held her hands out.

“If I were you, stay back 10 feet because this little codswallop bit me five times earlier the last three weeks.“, Olivia said as she can still feel her marks on her arms.

“At least you didn’t turn into a werewolf, then I’ll hunt you down and we’ll fight for the strongest combat.“, Harry said.

“I agree with you, Olivia.“, Sarah G. said as she checks on her fingernails.

“You know, I’m surprised to see you after 11 months our village got taken over by the dark forces. At first, I didn’t know you were bitten by the alpha hellhound and two, how is it possible you kept your witch magic. I thought once you turn into a different creature or warrior, you cannot retain your traits again, unless you got something to hide from us and…“, Olivia said before her senses kicked in.

“She’s coming down here, that serpent witch, I’m going to ripen her stomach as soon I she steps into the cell!“, hellhound #21 said as she released her claws.

“I wish I had some claws.“, Harry said before he licks his paws.

“Don’t puppies have claws of their own, my love?“, Lillian asked.

“I wish. These tiny claws, they only use to scratch intruders on their bodies, not for killing that huge serpent witch who got mental issues.“, Harry said before he licked his arms.

They could feel the ground shaking as the dark witch gets close to the prison cell, the dark soldiers are tired from carrying a 300-pound serpent witch to the prison cell, one of the dark soldiers unlocks the cell, and they pull her inside the cell. She ordered the soldiers to give her some privacy to try to tempt one of them to join her side during the ceremony and get Sarah G. into her chamber. Harry’s eyes were wide open as he saw the dark witch’s body was beyond inhuman and covered his eyes for awhile, Olivia didn’t expect the dark witch to become a snake or worse and exchange eye contact with Jessica.

“Oh, have mercy, what have you done to your physical body, witch?“, Solomon asked.

“Oh, King Solomon, I have been involved in something greater than human, greater than power, I must say.“, the dark witch said.

“Why are you doing this to yourself? The more you evolve into your body, the greater you endanger your soul, creatures and humanity.“, Sarah P. said.

“It’s too late for her soul, Sarah, her soul has forsaken after she killed the previous lord and she already got voices inside her mind telling her what to do. Am I right, serpent?“, James said as he holds his milady’s hand.

“That’s correct, dear. I have suffered enough since the days where women don’t have rights as men, once I obtain all the power of the realms, I’ll take on the creatures and then the rest of humanity.“, the dark witch said before she laughed loudly.

“You won’t get away because we’ll stop you from completing your objections.“, Jessica said.

“In the modern days, there are rights that people fight in blood because they are willing to live until their old age. Just imagine, if you try to control all the realms, then there will be no future for the next generations.“, Katherine said.

“Why should I be concerned about others when I should be the main focus around the world?!“, the dark witch said as she butchers at Katherine.

“Bragging about your desires isn’t respectful to others because they struggle with their situations, especially homeless people. Sir Wilson taught me that being homeless isn’t the answer when situations get too tough, believe in the faith of the mighty God and his son to carry you away from your situations.“, Olivia said.

The dark witch smiles like an insane woman as she slithers to Olivia until she gets hit by a glass bottle, and she turns around to see the hellhounds wanting another fight. She turns the other direction to slithers toward the hellhounds, Sarah G. hopes that they don’t get hit with another poison, and Selena stares at the eyes of a deadly serpent witch like nothing scares her soul.

“Who threw this glass bottle or I’m going to stab this precious little boy over there.“, the dark witch said before she hears Thomas got frightened as he holds Olivia.

“Don’t touch the child, just cut to the chase, and explain why you come down here.“, Selena said.

“Two things: That precious face and an offer for anyone to join me in my new dark forces.“, the dark witch said as she licks her lips.

“Who do you think you are? I’m not coming with you and neither of them wants to join the cause of ending humanity.“, Sarah G. said before the dark witch slithers to her path.

“Sarah, dear, remember who am I to you, to all of you, I’m the future lord of the realms, and I’ll do anything I want.“, the dark witch said.

“Really, what if I refuse to come with you?“, Sarah G. said as she stares into the deadly eyes of the serpent witch.

“If you refuse… Perhaps you prefer to be in eternal sleep for the rest of your days.“, the dark witch said before she tightly wrapped Sarah G.’s body with her tail.

“Sarah!! Let her go you, filthy witch!“, Selena said as her sisters held her back.

“You want this precious sister? You can have her back as soon as I finish my meal for today.“, the dark witch said as she continued to tightly Sarah G.

Sarah G. tries to hit her tail to get herself untangled, but the more her body is in a tight situation, her body losing consciousness and her breathing is reducing rapidly. As she’s losing consciousness, the dark witch releases her fang to take a bite out of her victim’s neck, she could smell the bloodstream running through the body, and touches the neck to replace a good spot. Once she chose a spot, she prepared herself for another victory by eliminating her enemy until she felt her neck choking for air, and dropped Sarah G.’s body on the ground.

“What is this madness?! Who’s choking me? Guards, guards, come escort me back to my chamber!!“, the dark witch said as she held her neck to get some air.

“Sarah, are you feeling okay?!“, hellhound #21 said as her sisters helped lift Sarah G. off the ground.

“No mean to par, this is the first time that I have sisters who care for me.“, Sarah G. said as she coughs for air.

“Take a deep breath and you’ll be okay.“, Selena said.

“What do you think it’s causing the serpent to suffer?“, Hellhound #20 said as they watched the dark witch struggling to breathe on her chair.

“I hope she dies soon because we don’t need a leader for awhile.“, Sarah G. said.

“What’s happening to her, father?“, Olivia asked.

“I’m not sure darling, however it could be a signal that the Lord gave us an angel to save her.“William said as he butchers his daughter.

“What do you think, mother?“, Olivia asked as she butchers her mother.

“Same thing as your father say, she’s paying the price for torture innocent creatures and humans.“, Elizabeth said before she held her husband’s hand.

The dark soldiers escort the dark witch to her chambers, Selena and her sisters exits the prison basement to return to their territory and report the situation to their mother, the dark witch was still choking after four minutes of sitting in her chair, then she enters her chamber room to take a quick breathing before she realized she was no longer choking. She laughs softly as she butchers through the shattered mirror and wait for her friends to return from their slumber, she has the strangest comb to use to untangle her hair that butchers like a manic doesn’t take care of the hair for years, and then she place her comb back inside the dresser as she waits for her friends to return.

“My friends heed my voice, I encountered those hellhounds and the prisoners, I tried to get that precious bitch by herself, but then I began to choke like someone was there in a distance to protect them. Whoever chokes me, will be sentenced to death by the wasteland and watch the giant worm absorb its soul, and that’s a promise I will make during the ceremony. I just hope that the mother hellhound didn’t catch my intention to kill one of her daughters, I need her dead before she tries to send her daughters to my deathbed and ripe me like a dissected frog.“, the dark witch said before she closed her eyes for a moment.

When she opened her eyes, she could sense the dark priest heading toward her chamber, and slightly smirk as she thought of a plan to capture her unknown enemy. The dark priest entered the dark witch’s chamber in silence to avoid disturbing her peace, she approached him as his head bowed down, and told him to raise up to discuss the progress of the ceremony.

“The ceremony is half complete, once you obtain the powers of the realms, no one can stop you from ruling the world in fear, and you’ll have the greatest dark forces in the universe.“, the dark priest said as he kept his arms folded inside his sleeves.

“Bloody well, this is going to be the greatest moments I ever have experience, every creature is forced to come to the ceremony in four days, they’ll witness the powers absorbing into my body, and if they dare to disobey me or comment about my leadership, then I’ll turn them into little pieces of meat to feed my little babies.“, the dark witch said before the dark priest has a chill spine running through his body.

There were thousands of baby snakes since she produced overnight, they slither on the dark priest’s body, and he tries to shake them off before the dark witch could see he was trying to kill her babies.

One of the baby snakes slither to the dark witch, whispers her things that could cause the fate of her soul, other creatures, and humanity, and then she places her baby back on the ground to join with her other babies.

“Lovely children, I always wanted to become a mother. Do you think I’m being a good mother, priest?“, the dark witch said.

“Yes, milady, you’re such a good mother to those… to those babies.“, the dark priest said as he tried to shake off the snakes on his body.

“Good, but there is one problem. Someone tried to kill me while I visited the prison basement, I was choking like my soul was taking away from my body, and I want you to go figure out who tries to kill me and why.“, the dark witch said as she slither back to her shattered mirror.

“Yes, milady, I’ll make sure that the enemy knows the consequence for going after the future lord.“, the dark priest said before he heads to the door.

“Oh, before you go, I want to know if you have any thoughts on killing me, dear.“, the dark witch said as she butchers the dark priest.

“I’ll never try to eliminate the future lord of the Netherworld, it’s my duty to protect you with our best dark soldiers you have and the other creatures follow your orders. I have no doubt that any creature could kill you without a reason.“, the dark priest said before he tries to exit her chamber.

The dark priest placed his hand on the door and immediately got a burning sensation on his hand. He tries to blow, use his magic to heal, and remain calm as his eyes were on the dark witch coming toward his path. She slightly smirked at him after she figured he was trying to avoid her question and then she decided to cast a spell on the door while he was speaking to her.

“Milady, what’s this feeling on my hand? Like it’s poison acid inside of my hand ready to explode.“, the dark priest said as he’s using his right hand to hold his burning left hand.

“Trying to leave so soon, priest? I didn’t dismiss you, yet. Before you go, I should warn you that if you were trying to kill me, then you shall feel my wraith through your mind until you’re no longer function.“, the dark witch said as she uses magic to torture his mind.

“I swear... I’ll… I’ll replace out who… who tries to… to kill you… milady. I’ll never try… to attempt killing… killing you for the throne.“, the dark priest said as he tried to fight her magic in his mind.

“Good, you’re dismissed. Report to me within thirty minutes or else.“, the dark witch said before she released his magic from his mind.

The dark priest quickly exits her chamber without speaking another word, she slithers back to her shattered mirror to courage herself for the ceremony. When she tries to smile, her mouth smells like the deadly gas in the entire world and then she stops smiling to butcher her face. Her eyes were flashing from hazel blue to dark green, her nose was shaped like a small hill, and her ears were almost hidden behind her head.

The dark priest quickly led it toward the hellhound territory without getting attention from the other creatures, his hand still burning from touching the doorknob earlier, and he could feel his hand losing its strength. He quickly entered the hellhound territory and the hellhounds saw the expression of the priest wasn’t too good, Selena and Sarah heard the priest enter the territory while they tried to convince their mother to drink blood or eat flesh since her last meal.

“This isn’t a good time to disturb our mother.“, Selena said.

“With all due respect, this is an emergency situation, she doesn’t know that the mother hellhound was choking her neck earlier, however, she demands me to capture her enemy or she’ll have my neck next.“, the dark priest said as he held his burning hand.

“What happened to your hand, priest?“, hellhound #42 said before she and her sisters were laughing toward the priest.

“Ha, ha, bloody funny, hellhounds. That witch placed a poison spell on her doorknob after I didn’t give her a precise answer to her question!! And now that…“, the dark priest said before he saw the mother hellhound butchers hungry.

“Why are you standing still, priest?“, mother hellhound asked as she tries to avoid drinking the priest’s blood.

“You seem hungry for weeks, milady. I have several bags of blood inside my coat in case you try to attack me.“, the dark priest said before he reaches for his blood bags.

There was 1 quart of blood in each bag, the priest took out five bags, and slid the bags to the mother hellhound. She ripened a hole in the bag with her claw to smell the blood before she consumed less than two minutes each bag. By the time she was consuming her 3rd bag, her eyes were awakened from the slumber of weakness, and butchers at the priest as she stood on her feet.

“Thank you for being me for a meal, darling… taste like the sweetest candy mix with the blood of betrayal. Now that I’m more focused, you can tell me what brings you into my chamber, priest.“, mother hellhound said as she returned to sit on her bed.

“Milady, the dark witch believes there’s an unknown enemy trying to kill her and ordered me to capture them. She doesn’t suspect that you were the one who choked her neck earlier and now I fear that she’ll torture every creature until she replaces her enemy.“, the dark priest said as he continues to hold his burning hand.

The mother hellhound laughed softly, got up from her bed, walked toward her mirror, and gave a good thought of her enemy, the dark witch. At some moments, she shows her weakness without her daughters around to avoid being the weak alpha in their eyes because she felt pain for the first time in years that someone she cares for 300 years is now considered a danger to her and her daughters. She always follows a simple rule that she couldn’t fall in love with a human, a warrior, or other creature because of her nature afterlife. The dark priest approaches the mother hellhound without being too close and witnessing her thoughts goes deeper into her inner consciousness, and he’s worried that her full mode could go out of control before the ceremony.

“Milady, are you feeling okay?“, the dark priest asked.

“Always feeling okay, darling, just imagine what her death would be like if I could finish her off earlier. I know you have to report her in less than five minutes so just hear this message. Tell that witch her death will come sooner than her desires can achieve.“, the mother hellhound said as she continued to butcher her reflection.

The dark priest bowed his head as he understood her message, exited the territory, and then she ordered some of her daughters to go search for the book called The Book of unknown spells inside the dark witch’s chamber. While a group of hellhounds were heading to the dark witch’s chamber, she ordered the rest of her daughters except for Selena and Sarah to spread words about the dark witch will not keep her promises as the future lord. When Selena and Sarah were alone with the mother hellhound, she walked over to her bed to consume her 4th meal as they approached a safe distance and watched their mother drinking blood. Sarah’s eyes were staring at the blood, her mouth was watery since her last meal, and she could feel her soul wanting blood for herself; Selena could see her hellhound traits had kicked in until the mother hellhound opened her eyes a bit to see Sarah was butchering hungry.

“Hungry, are you? It’s okay, my darlings, we’re all hungry after that witch pushed us too hard over the last 300 years and now she’ll be the one falling into her knees instead of us.“, the mother hellhound said.

She signaled Sarah to come close, cut herself near her wrist to give her blood to feed her daughter. She could smell the blood calling her name when her consciousness was pushing her mind away, but she couldn’t help it, and she took her first bite on her mother’s wrist. Sarah could think of the possibility of losing her soul to the alpha feeding blood to her, she tastes the blood like plain red candy with a twist of freshwater, and she felt her mother’s hand on her side of the neck. After Sarah finishes her meal, the mother hellhound signals Selena to come closer to her, and entertains her by kissing Sarah. She leans in to kiss Selena without hesitation to pleasure their mother, Selena holds her waist while Sarah holds her neck, Selena felt the blood through Sarah’s neck down to her chest as she kissed on her body, and then Sarah laid her down as she was kissing on Selena’s neck. They broke off their kiss to stare at each other for a moment before they turned their attention to the mother hellhound for their next move, she ordered them to do some research about the dark witch’s life as a normal witch before her death and then replace a way to kill her before she completes the ceremony in four days. As Selena and Sarah exits the territory, the mother hellhound resume drinking her 5th blood bag for extra energy for the next couple of days and she thought of the day she killed the dark witch, will be the day her territory will no longer be in endangered, and the peace inside her mind will not drove her into her full mode as she concerns that she’ll lose control of herself and not remember about the war or her daughters. She’s not letting fear come into her mind and replay the times where the dark witch wasn’t herself at most days and the time she was used multiple times for the dark witch’s personal desires.

Inside the prison basement, Harry was biting his arms while he saw James pulling out the ring box to show to Sarah, her eyes were confusing as to figure out what’s going on with James, and he butchers into his eyes before he speaks.

“Sarah, since we met at the River Dee, my heart couldn’t stop beating and my mind was constant thinking about you. I want to ask you… will you marry me?“, James said as Sarah was butchering into his eyes.

“Yes, yes, and yes!“, Sarah said as she tried to put on the ring.

“You made me the happiest man in the world, I love you, and I don’t want anything to happen to you or our families.“, James said.

“Under the wings of our Heavenly Father and his Son, nothing can harm us, in Jesus name, Amen.“, Sarah said as she butchers at his eyes.

“Amen.“, James said before he leans in to kiss her for a moment.

“Congratulations, darlings. I’m bloody proud of you both and I hope I could make your wedding cake too, James.“, Elizabeth said as she butchers at James and Sarah.

“Well done, son, I’m bloody proud of you and Sarah taking your next steps to your next chapter.“, William said as he butchers at Sarah and James.

“James, Sarah, congratulations on your marriage and have my blessings toward your wedding and the future holds for both of you.“, Katherine said as she butchers at James and Sarah.

“James, I’m proud to call you my son in the future and take care of my little angel.“, Solomon said as he butchers at Sarah and James.

“Thank you all for your kind words and I’ll never forget the day you all give me courage and wisdom in everyday life.“, James said.

"Did James just ask Sarah in Marriage? What the bloody hell is happening to everyone?!“, Harry thought before he continued to bite his itchiness in his arm.

“Are you okay, mate? It butchers like something that irritates your mind and you’re biting your arm.“, Jessica said before Harry stopped biting his arm.

“What are you talking about, mate? I just… I just bit on my itchy arm because there were flies landing on my arm for the past two days.`` Harry said before he continued biting his arm.

“Okay, whatever you say, mate.“, Olivia said before she and Jessica laughed softly.

Jacob heard that Sarah was going to marry James is the best part of his life, his younger sister deserves all the happiest she could have ever since their kingdom was destroyed more than 600 years ago by the dark forces, and now he has his father back from his slumber of darkness, everything seems nothing lost. When he butchers at Eliza, she was very quiet for several hours after the dark witch’s visit, and he got concerned where she might join in the dark forces because of her abusive father’s curse. He touches her cheek down to her chin to get her attention, she feels her spirit was sensing someone trying to get her attention, and she turns around to see Jacob was butchering concern about her mental mind. She held his hand to calm his spirit from becoming ruptured in his mind, she used a small amount of her energy magic to massage his hand as she was focused on reading his mind.

“Are you feeling okay?“, Jacob asked.

“Yes and no… It’s confusing to explain.“, Eliza said before Jacob lifts her chin up.

“What are you confused about? Is it about me? Our relationship?“, Jacob asked concern before he felt a sharp pain in his soul.

“Jacob,, I love you, you’re the first man I ever let go of and be a support to my situation…. Okay, it’s about my father and I just learned new facts about his childhood.“, Eliza said before she stopped to massage his hand and held it.

“What do you mean, Eliza?“, Lillian asked.

“When the dark forces forced you all to walk through the portal, the mother hellhound quickly grabbed me on the side, I was ready to kill her with my blade, however she got me lay on the body with her claw at my neck, and ready to kill me. Suddenly, she didn’t want to waste time killing me and explained to me about his childhood. The shocking part is the dark witch was the main reason why his behaviour was unusual and the priest couldn’t save his soul.“, Eliza said.

“What results did the dark witch do to your father?“, Lillian asked as she butchers at Eliza.

“She cast a forbidden spell on his mind and he passed out on the ground. His parents took him to the nearest hospital and he woke up angry.“, Eliza said.

“Do you believe in her words, Eliza?“, Samuel asked as he butchers at Eliza.

“I wish I couldn’t trust her words, however she spoke truth from each word she says about my father and she wants to kill the witch for her revenge.“, Eliza said.

“Why revenge on the dark witch?“, Solomon asked.

“She said she was planning to kill the witch before she completes the ceremony in four days. Her actual plan was to become the serpent lord of the realms including our flat, Earth, and Heaven.“, Eliza said.

“She’s trying to become a God.“, Olivia said.

“How is she going to become like a God and why?“, Jessica said.

“If she could imbalance the realms between light and dark, then she must have all the powers of the dark realm to overpower the light realm.“, Solomon said.

“Maybe she wants to be the only God for attention or she might want the powers of the realms and become the ultimate God.“, Harry said before he continues to bite his arm.

“Mother, father, is our Lord going to stop her plans from rising?“, Annabelle asked.

“Of course, darling, there are no other gods except for him, and he’s a jealous God.“, Elizabeth said.

“Your mother’s right, sweetheart, our Lord is the most mighty and powerful spirit in the universe and he won’t allow evil to prevail on Earth and Heaven.“, William said.

“Can we cast a spell to vanish her back into her prison?“, Harry asked after he stopped biting his arm.

“It’s not that simple, son, to vanish a witch who’s now a high-level demon after she killed the previous lord of the Netherworld.“, William said.

“William’s right, the only way we can defeat her evil side is the Spear of Life, we can use the weapon to cast out her evil spirits, and send it down to the Netherworld.“, Solomon said.

“Sounds a nice plan, father, however the question is where is the weapon?“, Samuel said.

“Probably the witch hid the weapon where no creature or we couldn’t get our hands on. The true purpose for the weapon is to restore the spirit in its body, heal the wounds of the body, or send the spirit free to Heaven. If she used the weapon for her own purpose, then the weapon could go…“, Lillian said before she was interrupted by Sarah.

“The weapon could go ruptured into dark magic and used against innocent people or creatures.“, Sarah said.

“Thank you for finishing my sentence, sister, even though I never ask for your assistance.“, Lillian said impatiently.

Sarah felt the voice of her eldest sister wasn’t a good energy through her soul, and her mother has enough with the family arguing with each other over the years.

“Enough, angels, now apology to one another. I love you all so much that it’s breaking my heart to see my children are arguing for immature reasons.“, Katherine said before a couple of tears fall on her cheeks.

“I’m sorry, Sarah, and forgive me .“, Lillian said as she butchers at Sarah’s eyes.

“I forgive you, Lily, and I’m sorry for running you over when you try to explain.“, Sarah said as she butchers at Lillian’s eyes.

“I forgive you, my little sister.“, Lillian said.

Sarah heard her sister called her little sister, which she didn’t hear her say since she was 12 years old. Her tears fall down on the ground as she has memories of her sister’s time with Lily back in the 14th century, and then they heard footsteps coming down to the prison basement. Selena unlocked the cell with her expression and was frightened and her body was shaking from a surprise event, the group was alert and wide awake as they heard her voice sound like a calling for help.

“We have a problem, the witch took some of my sisters, and devoured them without mercy…… Oh my, I can’t speak more about it with this fear kicking inside my soul.“, Selena said as tears dropped on the ground.

“It’s okay, sweetheart, wipe those tears off your eyes, and tell us what you saw with your eyes.“, Solomon said.

“Well… I was going after my sisters who were ordered to search for the Book of Unknown spells inside the dark witch’s and I opened the door, there was blood all over her chamber room including the walls and the floor. The worst part is I saw her devour my remaining sister into her stomach and she gave me a butcher of death through my soul, I quickly leg it as fast as I can before she could catch me, and I ended up at the nightbar butchering terrify.“, Selena said as she wipes off her tears.

“Bloody hell, those hellhounds got ripe up into her meal!“, Harry yelled.

“Harry, be silent, love.“, Lillian said.

“Where’s the other Sarah?“, Sarah said.

“Oh, she returned to the territory after we did a bit of research about the ceremony taking place in four days.“, Selena said.

“And what does it say? It is good or bad news?“, Olivia asked.

“Bad news, and the worst part is at the end of the ceremony, the dark witch gets the choice to sacrifice a soul to claim the throne.“, Selena said.

“That’s awful.“, Elizabeth said as she was gobsmacked.

“That’s awful, mother? How about it’ll be a terrifying event where we are going to get eaten by a serpent witch?“, Olivia said.

“Olivia, don’t speak back toward your mother or I’ll give you punishment! Understand me, young lady?“, William said impatient as he butchers at his daughter’s eyes.

“Yes, father.“, Olivia said before she picked a shattered bone and used it to make a couple of cuts on her arm.

“She can choose either a human or creature to be the sacrifice in order to take the throne… I must go before she tries to do any harm to my family, we’ll see each other next time before the ceremony.“, Selena said as she places her hand on her stomach.

Selena quickly locks the cell, returns to the hellhound territory, and when she opens the door, she is too late to save her remaining sisters as their blood is covered on the ground to the ceiling. The mother hellhound touch each of her daughter’s cheek as she lay them side to side, Sarah was the sole survivor from the surprise attacked and she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and left arm, and Selena could feel her inner spirit of hellhound is releasing as she thought the surprise attack came from the dark witch.

“You’re here, where were you at, Selena?“, Sarah said as she held her injured left arm with her right hand.

“I have to make quick notes on the ceremony…… Mother? Mother? We have some bad news about the ceremony she’s performing in four days. At the end of the ceremony, she’ll choose to…“, Selena said before she was interrupted by the mother hellhound.

“She’ll choose to sacrifice either one of the prisoners or a creature to take the throne and that’s how the previous lord did his ceremony except for his final step was to slaughter hundreds of creatures to show them all how powerful the dark lord was. Is that right, darling?“, mother hellhound said as she walked toward her bed and sat down.

“Yes, mother.“, Selena said.

“It happened like the flash of my eyes, one by one, their bodies were slaughtered into pieces, but didn’t turn into ashes for some reason. The last sister pushed me off the side to save me and I’ll quickly hide myself before she could replace me. She left after she thought all the hellhounds were dead, and then mother came in with the voice of a widow woman who lost everything she has except for you and me.“, Sarah said as she butchers at Selena’s eyes.

“They didn’t deserve to be roughly attacked and end up being food to that poison serpent.“, Selena said.

“What shall we do, mother?“, Sarah said as she butchers at her mother’s eyes.

“We’ll follow the plan as usual, we take the weapon away from her hands and use it against her soul before she completes the ceremony…… Selena?“, the mother hellhound said before she turned her attention to Selena.

“Yes, mother.“, Selena said.

“Will you do me a favor to grab someone and bring her to the territory?“, mother hellhound said as she touches Selena’s cheek.

“Yes, mother, who you like me to bring?“, Selena said.

The mother hellhound whispers the name she wanting her to bring into the territory before she exits the room, Sarah was ordered to bag her sisters and throw it into the wasteland with caution in her surroundings, and the mother hellhound sits in her bed as she was drinking her wine blood and wondering why did the dark witch wanting her daughters dead. Maybe they were in her way and she couldn’t perform a spell to control her mind and soul? Or could she be afraid that her strength will defeat her and destroy her desires? Whenever the answer is, the mother hellhound is prepared to bring all of her wraith using full mode and revenge for her daughters.

The dark witch was relaxing on her massage chair, which is an old chair and operating by an ogre who’s jingling the chair for several hours, the vampire was massage her long tail to reduce pain, and the troll massage her hands as she applies a special lotion for her snake scales to be moist. She enjoys relaxing for eternity as she eliminates her enemies from her desires to come true and then she closes her eyes to listen to her friends inside her mind.

“They working for you and no one shall have authorities over you.“, voice #1 said.

“No one can stop us from controlling the realms and become the ultimate God of the realms!“, voice #2 said.

“You’re the serpent lord, you can do anything you want, including killing all the creatures who disobey your orders.“, voice #3 said.

“The powers of the dark realm belongs to you and no one can stop you or touch you!“, voice #4 said before the dark witch laughed softly.

“Yes, yes, my friends, I am the serpent lord and no one can harm me or touch me, especially if I didn’t get them authorities over me.“, the dark witch said.

“Excuse me, milady, how long do we have to massage your body?“, the vampire said.

“Until the day of the ceremony, my dear.“, the dark witch said before she laughed hysterically.

“You’re the worst milady than the previous lord, last time I massage his hands, there was the most disgusting shape I ever saw.“, the troll said before the dark witch turned her attention.

“Sweetheart, why don’t you fetch me some food before your children become my meal? Understand me?“, the dark witch said as she stared into the troll’s eyes.

The troll quickly exits the chamber room to fetch her some food after she saw the deadly eyes of the serpent, the vampire and the ogre pretend not to hear what the troll comment on the dark witch’s hands as their continue to work, and then the dark priest enters the chamber to bring the update about her unknown enemy.

“Make it quick, priest, or you’ll become my next meal.“, the dark witch said impatient.

“I apologize for disturbing your relaxing day, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to get a hint on your enemy and the enemy itself appeared to me with a message. It says your death will come sooner than your desires achieve.“, the dark priest said.

“My death will come sooner? Hmm, sounds like the enemy is afraid of me because I’m all powerful witches of darkness and nothing can touch me, especially since I got hold of this weapon, and humanity will no longer exist, I can smell and taste victory, dear.“, the dark witch said.

“I see, milady, perhaps we should call the ceremony off in case of…“, the dark priest said before he sensed a dark sphere heading toward his body and ducked it.

“You’re lucky to have dodged my dark sphere, but next time, you’ll keep your mouth shut and don’t ever say the ceremony is on hold! Now, get out of my chamber before I’ll snatch your body and break it into two halves!“, the dark witch said as she hisses and raises her body up in the air.

“Yes… yes… yes, milady… I’ll leave this…“, the dark priest hesitates to speak as he exits the door.

“Who dared him to speak to me in that manner? Am I right or he’s right?“, the dark witch said as she turned her attention to the vampire and the ogre.

“You’re right, milady, please don’t devour us.“, the vampire said as he felt his body shaking.

“I agree with you, milady.“, the ogre said as he remained calm inside his mind.

The dark witch settles back on her chair with the ogre jingling her chair and the vampire massages her tail in silence, the troll returns to bring several pounds of fresh werewolves meat and slowly feed to the dark witch without making a mistake. She saw the amount of food that the troll brought her and immediately devoured the entire meat, including the troll, and then relaxed her mind before she got more suspect news about her actions lately.

The mother hellhound pours some Yunnan tea to Lillian, Harry, and Thomas who were waiting in silence. Harry doesn’t quite know why she wants to chinwag Lillian about, however, he remains cautious to watch over Lillian and Thomas as his puppy form doesn’t prevent him from becoming a saviour when things go wrong. Selena and Sarah were standing near the door to observe the conversation between their mother and the former Princess Lillian to make sure no one gets hurt.

“How do you like your Yunnan tea?“, mother hellhound said.

“I love it, thank you, I didn’t expect a warm welcome from you, which surprises me.“, Lillian said before she sipped her tea.

“You’re welcome, darling. I’m glad you decided to join me for a quick conversation.“, mother hellhound said.

“What’s going on you like to speak to me about?“, Lillian said as she butchers into the mother hellhound’s eyes.

“Well, I was curious to know more about your parents.“, mother hellhound said before she sipped her tea.

“Why are you curious about my parents, mother hellhound?“, Lillian said after she placed her tea cup down on the table.

“Why? Your mother is the bloodline of the Kingdom of Grace and your father lead his people out of fear and torture, correct?“, the mother hellhound said before she gets up from her seat.

“Correct…“, Lillian said as she butchered the mother hellhound walking behind her.

Thomas and Harry watch the mother hellhound walking behind Lillian, massage her shoulders to relax the intense inside her mind, and then she touches the soft texture of the royal princess’s hair. Harry growls a bit to warn the mother hellhound to stand five feet away from Lillian, however, she told him to be calm and let her handle the situation before it could cause another blood war between creatures and warriors. The mother hellhound sits closer to Lillian to try to read her body language, she may be calm on her appearance, but inside she could be frightened for her life, however, she saw her soul wasn’t concerned for her life as she was ready for death to come take away her life. After living in the world for more than 600 years, she could understand the pain that caused her and her family to drastically change their style from royal to normal people, and then she thought her past wasn’t the greatest as a child and her father was abusive to her and her mother.

“You haven’t answered my question about your curiosity about my parents’ history,″ Lillian said before she sipped her tea.

“Princess…“, mother hellhound said before she was interrupted by Lillian.

“It’s just Lillian, my royal statue hasn’t existed for the last 600 years.“, Lillian said.

“Lillian, the reason why I asked about your parents is because I fear that the dark witch will sacrifice them at the end of the ceremony. You see, she feared that one day her desires will drain into the bottom of emptiness pit by your father and mother, and maybe either you or your brother will take the throne to ensure the safety of your people.“, mother hellhound said as she took Lillian’s hand and rub it gently back and forth.

“I appreciate your concern, however, I was curious what were you butchering when you massage my shoulders? I can sense you know what it is because I sense your magic has weakened over the years without faith. Have you given it up your own magic?“, Lillian said as she butchers at the mother hellhound’s eyes.

“I used to have a sister who she and I have the same symbol as your symbol on the back. After she died, I went full rage toward the innocence that my soul was descended to the Netherworld afterlife and I was granted by the previous lord to be the new alpha of the hellhounds. Not only does her death affect my soul, my magic has disappeared over time where I lost sense of the world and its nature. And now that I have lost almost everything I have left given over the last 2,000 years, I realize that I’m alone and without protection, I could die anything soon.“, mother hellhound said.

“Lillian, what’s she talking about, a symbol on your back?“, Thomas said as he held Harry on his lap.

“Lily, what’s going on? What symbol is she talking about?“, Harry said.

“Shhh, it’s okay, I’ll handle it and explain later at the right time, love.“, Lillian said as she butchers at Harry.

“Okay, my Lily.“, Harry said.

“To answer your question, yes, I do have the symbol of Enchantress Evelyn and I’m not afraid to use it against anyone who tries to harm me or my family.“, Lillian said as she stares into the mother hellhound’s eyes.

“I see, you’re the type of princess who believes in her own path instead of following the birthright.“, mother hellhound said before she licks her lips.

“Where are the rest of your daughters? Unless it has to do with the dark witch killing them I have heard earlier.“, Lillian said.

“She took everything from me: my heart broke into pieces, my soul is lost in the limbo, and my sweet babies are ripe into pieces as she was drinking their blood until they were drained and no longer moving!“, mother hellhound said before she threw the entire table over by the door.

Selena and Sarah dodge the table from hitting their bodies, seeing the mother hellhound so rage at herself made them feel sorry for the way she was living as the alpha, and Lillian never thought she would help her to feel more calm as she approached her in her mirror.

“What was your mother’s childhood like, darling?“, mother hellhound said as she rested her arms on her dresser.

“She didn’t have a normal childhood, her father was the rudest king who controlled his kingdom over the last 17 years, until my father came and saved the kingdom from chaos and rupture.“, Lillian said.

“I see… have you thought of leaving your family after all these years in prison as an immortal?“, mother hellhound said.

“Where is this conversation going, mother hellhound? Are you trying to tempt me into joining you? If that’s the case, then you know my answer is.“, Lillian said as she watched the mother hellhound walk behind her.

“I know I can’t convince you to join me, Lillian, but it’ll be nice to have someone who understands my pain.“, mother hellhound whispers in Lillian’s ear before she tempts to kiss her neck.

“I’ll be more than happy to assist you in killing the witch, however, joining you will destroy my future now, especially I gained my father back after his slumber prison for hundreds of years.“, Lillian said as she remained calm in her consciousness.

“Bloody well, darling, listen good because I’m going to say it once before someone could snitch on me and provide evidence against me.“, mother hellhound said as she brushes Lillian’s hair to the side.

The mother hellhounds whisper in Lillian’s ear the plan to kill the dark witch during the ceremony before they escort her, Harry, and Thomas back into the prison basement. When they return to the group, Katherine and Solomon were concern for their daughter’s mental health has affected since she was taken to the hellhound territory, she told her parents that she was okay, no one got hurt during the conversation, and then speaks about the plan to kill the witch during the ceremony and interesting facts about the mother hellhound. When she told everyone the interesting facts about the mother hellhound, they were gobsmacked about her history and she was once an enchantress before becoming the alpha of the deadly creature of Netherworld. No matter what the situation it is, they know that their days of prison is going to be over soon and the world will restore its balance between the light and dark realms.
