The Empress
“I will cut you down, and grind your bones to that once it came” she said to me while we tried to push each other’s sword against the others throat. The battle was futile, no one could defeat her she was strong and undefeated, she couldn’t hesitate to bring us to the ground, it was not of sheer talent but the force of determination and hard work.“Their blood drove her wild and she looked like a monster with a burning itch, “oh come on give it to me, I teased her, “you odd one out and make It worth my while, the others just weren’t exciting for me. Making sure to annoy with every word ‘Something broke in her eyes and made her quite vulnerable… I liked it. We sparred for what seemed like forever, I was breathless and I thought I was done for , gasping hard for air , she almost caught me off guard when she sprang into action. “I have one short ,with that I dug my blade through her heart as she fell to her knees, his was all too easy to be happy but It was too easy , I squatted to her level and pulled her hair back so she could face me, ‘ are you dead yet scarlet,….I asked , she chocked on blood and then tilted her head to her right and gave me a bloody smile then she burst into flames and died………“Haaa!!!! …all the children gasped a hand raised among them “tell us about the seven too , did they help the scarlet kill every one the children and mothers too , tell me lady Amelia I want to know, I chuckled .. “Well Jacob all I can say is they were evil, cold blooded murderers that enjoyed killing, I said to the little child…Miss Theresa, the alpha’s Luna (wife) walked in ... “Now children lady Amelia has work she can tell you about the scarlet and the seven sins later”….As we were walking out of the lady’s house I asked Miss Theresa, “can I visit her again I would love it if she told me more about the seven and scarlet, I want to know everything… she stopped in her tracks and squat down to my size and said ‘listen jade dear, you are not special and neither is your linage ,we don’t even know what you are yet ..So don’t get close to them okay you will only embarrass your family even more …she said. her eyes evident with disgust made me sad and I knew my tears were almost out and yet I felt a warmth in my chest, I took a deep breath then looked at miss Theresa and for a moment I saw her break a cold sweat, I moved away and ran home.“Theresa!! ,I called “ call the Milton’s over immediately , she seemed uneasy I watched as she ran off , to the residential area , I squeezed my hands into balled fists and they began to bleed ,everything is as it should be , no one should ever find out , the real truth that….. No….No what am I doing I shouldn’t…even think about it , it has to stay a secret…….Excuse me!!!! Lady Amelia, you sent for us ….. I am honored to be in your presence my lady, my name is Mariah Milton’ she said all excited she wanted to make me puke … putrid creature….. I thought to myself.‘Ahh... I said... “You must be little Jade’s mother, am I correct…, she froze in her chair and I was intrigued ...Her husband sat, and minded his on business and dared not bow at me, foolish vermin …” “so has Jade shown any traits of being any creature yet she is 6 after all ,am I correct ? I do understand you know its importance to know isn’t it….“O…oof Course lady Amelia … you are an empress, a divine creature that was first fashioned by the gods themselves blessed with five mythical beasts or other forms and the power to rule over all mythical creatures, and in order to carry out this monarchy with the other 4 empresses, you must know all its people and the gifts they possess.“Mnnhhh, Mr. Milton snorted, ‘I beg your pardon Mr. Jerald but is there a problem? Do you find any fault in how I use my power ‘I asked ...making sure to intimidate him with my alpha aura. ‘ Well … not quite , I do not think we have a problem at all except for you trying to pry in my daughter’s life , let her abilities come when they will , and stay away from jade and we shall never cross paths ….he said as he stood up, he then pulled his wife to her feet ,..We shall be on our way……Mariah bowed and walked out as Jerald reached the door he turned and said ‘I am not scared of you and the others , neither do I believe your nonsense and soon so will everyone else’, and he left.I froze, I was scared… he needed to be ridded of, and he knew something but how….. I kept tracks clean, I needed an alibi and I was going to make one for sure.‘Jade!!!! …. Come home it’s time for dinner…., I saw her running towards me screaming “Upsies Daddy….Upsies as I reached out and tossed her in the air and she giggle hard…. Dad!!!Said Joshua,” You will give her a tummy ache from laughing so much... Go check on dinner I will watch her…I gave her to him and walked into the kitchen.I thought “they will most likely ask Mariah about jade since she only sees her as misfortune because we still aren’t sure of what she is and with that little outburst of mine, I may as well be their next target…’ “Joshua get her and come inside” I said , I am not taking any chances’….. as he took her and walked passed me and headed straight to his room … I ran up to his room with a bowl of rice and chicken still, light headed at what I wanted to tell him , I mean only have mare assumptions …. But he needed to know‘Okay dad ... what’s this about ... You seem shaken ... should I call mom …“Jade!!! Sweetie are you hungry.. Daddy brought you some rice and flap flap… ‘Okay daddy but can I have it with Oshy she asked … she always shared everything with him, I hope they stay that way.I just shook my head ‘Now Joshua listen carefully I will give you information that will help you understand who and what your sister is but this information is only from observation and analysis.Okay ..“ he said … “ long ago the goddess Eris gave birth to chaos and let its wrath on Zeus creation , Aphrodite , the empress goddess came together with Artemis, mother of wolves, Persephone mistress of the sirens, Delphyne mother of dragons ,Selene mother of vampires , Mystra daughter of Azuth and mother of witches and wizards, Aine (on-ya) mother of fae and fairies and Amphitrite mother of sea monsters came together to rebel against Zeus corrupt creation called the empress…….’ Meanwhile at Amelia’s houseLadies I believe we have a problem I said “ and “what problem would that be that you sent for us in the middle of the night lady Amelia , said lady Shivon in a bitter tone ….
