A Man Called Storm (Part 15)
Her dry chuckles sounded again.
"Mother? The last time I checked, children don't cage their own mother and keep them in total darkness for years, Rumiana."
"Then Sarah it is, since it's your name."
"I made a mistake by trusting you and telling you my weakness and not only that, I told you about your father.. "
"Speaking of him, I have made him very useless and for my other half sister from a different mother, I have killed her, she won't be returning from the dead any time soon." Rumi interrupted Sarah.
"Oh I see, you finally killed her." Sarah's hoarse voice said. "How can you do what I couldn't?"
"Yes, when I make a promise I make sure that I fulfill it. Father doesn't know who I am so he adopted me. But I hate him for leaving me, I hate him for having another family so I went to live with him and ruined him. First of all I killed that woman he calls his wife and then my half sister Juno and finally him. I am going to kill him but he hasn't suffered enough."
"Good. I need water to drink, who knows when you will visit me again,"
"You will get your water after you've helped me," Rumi said. "My man was attacked last night by some unknown assailant so I am here to find out who they are and who sent them."
"Your man you say?" Sarah asked and scented the air. "But you don't smell like one who has him."
"Sarah...." Rumi eyes started glowing red.
"I am in chains, Rumiana, you don't expect me to know things, remember how you forcefully took away my Powers," Sarah's eyes darkened a bit as she glared at Rumi, though weakly.
"Sarah, I can't be deceived that easily. No one could survive days and years without food so cut the crap and tell me what you know. It is true I collected all your powers, but not all of them because the last one can take your life and you and I know how you value your life." Rumi told her. "So tell me what you know and I shall bring you water and food."
Sighing out. "You know, back then, I felt on top of the world because I thought I was untouchable until you came along and showed me your father's blood still runs in your vein."
"And what does that has to do with what I asked you?"
"The same thing is about to happen to you and you can't avoid it."
"Sarah I did not ask you to read into my future, I asked you to tell me who the hell sent assassin's to my Man and for your information, I can't be defeated or taken unawares, I am always prepared."
"Alright, I see a man hidden in a dark cloud, who is he? I don't know but what I know is that he is dangerous, oh, very dangerous. He has gotten the gifts of the two most powerful powers combined by the Elves and Dwarfs long ago. The powers which are said to be the Ultimate, the powers that were lost he has it. He is hidden so I can't really see his face. I could have told you to be careful but it will gladly bless my heart if you die."
Rumi huffed out. "It's a he," she said after a while. "No one can be as powerful as I am. You've got powers, strong ones which I now possess."
"I don't know what else to tell you Rumiana but be rest assured you won't be missed at all if you left this world."
"I shall be going, my job now is to find this mystery man and destroy him but while doing that, I am going to kill a little fly that seems to like perching herself around my man."
"Good luck with that, so the food and water you promised?"
"Oh I lied about that," Rumi said and was gone. One after the other, the candles started going off, putting the room once again in total darkness.
She didn't know an eight year old would be strong enough to take down a powerful Amazon  warrior, one of the strongest Priestesses of Myrina. She had let her guard down that night.
Sarah thought bitterly to herself but then she started laughing.
Rumi, poor Rumiana didn't know the truth. She is just ruining herself.

KINGDOM OF KUDARMA:
Emperor Dean Palace:
Emperor Dean cuddles a naked Lord Kira into his body.
He is dreaming again and this time, he saw himself at the top of a mountain. He was surprised and turned around sharply when he heard a clearing of throat behind him.
It was the same cloaked figure.
"You again,"
The cloaked figure laughed. "I can see you did as I told you."
"I did not do anything. You cannot command me."
"Physically, yes, but here, I do the commanding and you obey me. Now that you have lifted up her disguise spell like I told you to, I need you to do something else for me again. So listen and listen carefully to your next assignment."
Emperor Dean finds himself nodding at the instructions the cloaked figure was telling him.
