The Witch Within The Sunburners Arc Final Part

Rescue Of The Ring

It was barely a day after the birth that would mark the birth of Mortyamikira when Loc was woken by the sound of gunfire. Loc was exhausted after the day before but she was feeling stronger than the day before. She knew that it was T.O.O.T.R.O.E. she knew that it would be soon time to go home and get out of this cult. She was also slightly afraid, after all did they know that the Sunburners were immortal? If they did not then they would only end up dead, if so then they knew that this was a suacide mission. 

Then she heard the sound of a loud blast. She then got out of bed and ran to where the gunfire was coming from and she was about to go to them when she felt a mans’ hand over her mouth and pulled her back. She then felt her feet rise up and then she twisted and turned as she tried to get free. Then Lamia looked at her and she suddenly felt no desire to struggle against them. So she let them carry her deeper and deeper underground. She was getting lower and lower to a point that she could no longer hear the gunfire. 

Then they came to a small door, that was so simple and plain that one would naturally walk past it. They then put her in.

“Lilith keep her here and stay here and keep her company.” ordered Leto. 

She nodded.

“Right, I will come back once I have taken care of this. I’m sorry to have to do this to you but I cannot afford to lose you.” he said as he left.

“Well, what an unexpected turn of events.” Lamia commented.

“What?” she asked, confused. 

“Oh, I forgot, you don’t remember do you?”

“Remember what?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll fix that. Now let me say that you have played your part wonderfully. Father will be pleased with you.” she said.

“Hur?”

“Hold on.” she said as she placed her hand on her head. Suddenly she remembered everything that took place here and how that star was conceived. She flared up with rage and she went to punch her, knowing that she was to blame for the creation of Mortyamikira and why it kills. She then felt her whole body freeze up and she stood where she was, incapable of moving. She felt her heart drumming in her ear. She put her hand on her closed fis nd then pushed it down like, as if it was nothing.

“Yeah, I should have guessed you’d do that.” she said as she started to play with her hair. “You know your air really does look quite nice, but it really is far too long for its own good.”

She then took out a brush and she felt her pull her hair back and then she parted the hair into two.

“It’s thick too!” she commented as she pulled out a pair of scissors. “Now let me start by telling you that the sun that grows in the Sunburner feeds upon the power of the host.”

She then pulled out a leather bag.

“Which means that you have a great amount of power hidden within you, and whatever’s suppressing it must be equally more powerful. Which makes me glad.” She said as she took her hair and brushed it. She took a lock of her hair and cut it. She then put it in her bag. “It means that right now you’re safe to be around.” Snip. “But there will come a time,” Snip. “when all that power will come out” Snip, snip. “and I want some assurance so that” snip. “I don’t have to worry about you.”

She saw her hair by her right.

“Which is why I will be taking your hair.” Snip. “Just in the case you become a great threat to me or my father.’ Snip. 

“Though I must say that this has gone better than I ever thought or expected.” she said as she turned to her back. “The Sunburners are going to fall and neither my father nor I will need to lift a finger to do it.”

“But aren’t-”

“The Sunburners immortal?” she said as she started to cut the back and she felt a slight chill as she wind hit the back of her bare neck. “Well, there are ways to kill an immortal, and because of the tip I gave them, they know who to send to kill them. After all if an immortal is turned to dust, they can die.”

Her eyes widened at what she was hearing. She knew that she was being used as a pawn right from the start, for Leto, this was to keep them safe from her sisters and for this girl, she was a pawn to ensure their destruction. It made her feel humiliated and used. This added to her frustration and rage. All she wanted to do was give this girl and Leto a punch and let out her rage and frustration.

“Now, I will tell you this, T.O.O.T.R.O.E. will never let you go. They will use you far more than I ever have and Leto combined. They will never let you go even after you have killed your sisters. After all they all know how valuable you are. However I would recommend that you find the books that Dark Lady Grasharlo wrote and those keys, after all it will be interesting for you to do so.” she said as she cut away the rest of her back hair. She then turned to her left. 

“I will tell you this, one of you three houses the Great Hero Reho, and once you find out which, then it will become more interesting for me to see.” she said as she snipped away and soon she was facing her. She looked at her as she saw that her bag was almost full. She wanted to punch her so much, but yet she could not. She then brushed her hair in front of her eyes and then closed her eyes. She then heard snip after snip. “Now, that’s better.”

She then opened her eyes and brushed her hair out of her eyes.

“Wow, I never thought that you suted a long frindge, now don’t say I didn’t do anything for you!” she said. “Now see you when I see you!” she sang as she was eclipsed in red smoke and when the smoke vanished she was gone. She flopped down, her head felt light and then as she looked to her right she saw Leto. 

She ran to him and then let out a punch that he caught by grabbing her wrist and then she flighed her finger tips. She then kicked him in the groin. He then punched her in her cheek and raised the heat in his fist as it collided. She then hit the ground. She then saw his foot come for her hip and she spun away and as his foot rose over her and rolled back to him and he collided with the ground. She then dived on him and hit him again and again in the face. She let out her rage, anger and her fear in every punch. She found the memories of what happened to her here and the past year flash before her eyes. 

She then felt something in her throat. She started to choke. She rose her fingers to her throat to feel a hilt of a dagger in it. The pain shot through her and she knew that she was coughing on her own blood. She then was kicked off him and he got to his feet. He then took hold of the hilt and she choked as he slid it. She soon felt like she could no longer move, almost as if her brian could no longer send messages to the rest of her body.

She was helpless as she felt foot after foot dig again and again in her gut. She then felt a great belt and she was spinning away and she hit the wall behind.

“You should have done what you were told! You should have behaved like a good girl! But you did this somehow! How? How did you tell them?” he shouted. “Was it witchcraft? Did you use magic? Did you?”

He then pulled the dagger from her throat.

“No.” she said weakly. “It was Lamia.”

He pulled back and then hit her in the face and her nose bled.

“How? She was the most loyal to our course!” he snapped.

“Leto!” boomed a man with all of his fists covered with rings. “Leave the girl alone. After all it was not her that gave us the location of this place!”

“Ringer. Of course you would say that.” he said as he pulled his dagger up to him.

Ringer sighed as he punched his fists together again and again and she heard a high pitched buzzing sound and the jewels of the rings lit up and he then thrust his fists to him. Then, from his rings came a bright, blinding light and when it faded there was nothing but ash left. 

Ringer rushed to her.

“Are you alright Loc?” he asked.

She shook her head.

“Come.” he said as he picked her up and she was then carried to a pod. When she felt strong she told them everything that happened to her over the time that she was with the Sunburnes.

“Lamia eh...I know her, she was one of the witches that dwelt in the Queendom Isles a while ago.” he said. “But I hate to admit it that she is right, we do need to find and get them. I think that you should do it, after all you passed your exams and now you are an agent of T.O.O.T.R.O.E. I think that this would be a good first mission. I know that I’m playing into her hands but I think this time it will be a good idea to.”
