EPISODE THIRTY TWO
TITLE: THE OLD WITCH.
Azazel was stunned about the new energy that surged through his body, The chubby one among them charged one of the poisonous arrows at him.
Azazel didn’t notice this, His body trembled so bad that his skin crawled underneath.
He should be disgusted but somehow, he liked it.
As the arrow was about to hit him, Adriel slashed it with his short sword and stood in front of him.
“Are you okay?”He asked, moving backwards, pushing Azazel out of the way and he groaned heavily.
“You idiot, I told you to stay away”He cursed under his breath and Adriel only chuckled.
“Just say thank you if you want to,”He teased.
Azazel regained his posture already, He unsheathed his sword and made Adriel stand in front of him.
“We are not attacking them, Instead, Slash all the arrows, The men will wheel the carts away without their knowledge”He whispered in his ear, Adriel nodded.
The Qing’s charged at them almost immediately, Azazel didn’t let Adriel go, He slashed most of the arrows with his left hand.
Adriel got so comfortable with him that within two minutes, They exhausted their arrows and metal balls.
Azazel made Adriel move to his back and grinned at the men.
They were dumbfounded and stunned at their insane swordsmanship, Their clothes weren’t out of place despite the thousands of arrows and metal balls charged at them.
“Your masters must have assured you that you will be able to import the carts out of the country without my knowledge”He mocked and they all tried to move backwards, He circled them in a tight space and made a burning furnace the boundary.
The heat coming from the fire burned them badly.
“No one, will leave this place alive”He roared in anger and generated the energy from his body into his sword, Adriel moved back the moment his sword shone brightly almost blinding his sight.
Azazel wielded the sword at them, The sand around him blew off like a wind and threw them away at once.
None of them were alive, Azazel took his sword back into the designed part of his dress and turned back to Adriel who was still in shock.
“I don’t know either”He mumbled uneasily before working away.
Adriel broke into a smile and catched up with him.
“When did you get this again?, You don’t use your special powers unless it’s needed”
“I never tried to use it, I don’t know how it happened”He whispered and Adriel only nodded, They both walked to the small hideout.
The men were all assembled with the hundreds of carts with them.
They all bowed and paid their respect to him.
“All the goods will be sorted out, In a week, We will be leaving for the castle, Make sure you don’t make mistakes”He instructed in a stern voice and they all chorused in their normal reply.
•
“You’re not getting this right, Margaret, Onida was assigned to me, Including Yuna, You don’t have any rights over them”Rita yelled in frustration and Margaret only eyed her.
“They are slaves too, And I’m in charge of them”
“You even sent her out of the palace to get the powder for you? Are you that dumb?”She yelled and Margaret charged towards her in anger.
“Don’t you dare call me dumb, I’m just doing the job assigned to me!”She yelled to her face and Rita only scoffed.
“As if you’re of any difference from them, Onida… She was able to achieve what you couldn’t do, She gave him pleasure, He has a better personality now, And Azazel made it clear to everyone that Onida shouldn’t leave our sight but sending her out of the castle is outrageous already, It’s only two weeks that he left and you were behaving like this, She’s not feeling fine!”
“Are you mocking me now?, Because I have bad skin and the master can not sleep with me? Has it gotten to this stage?”She sobbed and Rita only scoffed.
“You’re trying to be the victim here, You should thank your stars that Onida isn’t around.”
•
“Let me go with you”Yuna yelled after her as she was about to cross the large river and Onida only shook her head.
“The master might be back soon, You will be in trouble if words reach him that we both left the castle without permission”
“You helped me with my chores this morning, Let me go with you too, And your legs are bad, You can lean on me”She persuaded and Onida smiled, Tears rolled down her eyes and nodded.
She stretched her hands at him and only nodded.
Onida stretched her hands at her and they both crossed the river together.
The past few days have been so hard on the duo, Margaret was just like an evil incarnate.
She treated them so badly that Onida wished Azazel was around.
She waited every night in the garden, waiting for him.
She craved for him so much that she cried to sleep every night.
Yuna has been helpful for the past few days, She barely eats these days because of her annoying appetite.
Onida knew she could never be pregnant because Azazel never lost himself to her until weeks ago, She has been having these symptoms before it so she was rest assured.
Rita was gaining her former self back, Even thoughshe’s not as free with her as before, It’s still better now.
As they got to the deeper part of the town, Onida’s legs couldn’t carry her anymore.
She fell on the floor, and held her bruised legs in tears.
“I can’t walk anymore”She cried out and Yuna knelt beside her.
“You just need to try more, Onida, We will soon be there, let’s get the powder before it gets sold out”She urged her and Onida only shook her head.
“I don’t care if it gets sold out, I’m tired, I can’t walk again”She sobbed while holding her hands and Yuna sighed.
“Let me get some ointment, I will be back soon”
Onida waited for some time under the hot sun.
There’s no one in sight, The whole place was quiet and scary.
Shortly, A fidgety old woman surfaced, Her steps weren’t steady, She shook at every step.
Onida moves backwards a little bit as she gets closer.
She was slightly bent and leaned on the old stick.
“Greetings”She mumbled and the woman stopped immediately.
She turned to her and Onida’s heart almost jumped.
Her whole face was bruised and dried blood was all over her wounds.
She screamed in horror and the woman walked closer to her.
“Who are you?”She asked in tears, the woman grinned darkly.
“Azazel’s consort?, I found you”She mumbled in a low voice and casted some spells on her.
Onida slipped into unconsciousness immediately.
