shone as her mother finally faded into thin
air.
She couldn’t still believe her mother was
dead as her head spun trying to understand what her mother meant by
“search your heart for the path”. Something else began to ring in
Evalle’s heart… ”full potentials”, she wondered what her mother
meant by that as she got into the house and lay on her bed as she
finally drifted off to sleep.
CHAPTER 2
The path to success is very narrow”, Emily
read, in a book she found on the table before she heard a knock on
the door. She opened the door to see a man in white clothing
standing before her, she was shocked but gained courage to talk to
him immediately.
“What do you want?”
He blinked at her again apparently shocked at
her masculine voice which she actually framed up. He replied her
with haste, “The master seeks your presence immediately.”
“Where is your master?” She asked with
uneasiness in her voice.”
He told her to get dressed as he is going to
take her there. As they walked down a passage, Emily struck a
conversation with the man taking her to the master.
“Why are you dressed in a white robe?”
He didn’t reply her at first until he saw the
look on her face. He overheard the master saying that she would be
the most powerful demon on earth and he really feared what she
could possibly do to him if he doesn’t reply her in time.
“This is a very large fortress and I am the
keeper of the holy place.”
Emily couldn’t understand anything anymore as
she kept mute and decided to ask the master a lot of questions when
she found him. They had been walking for about thirty minutes in
silence when Emily tripped over an object on the floor and
fell.
She tried to look at what made her fall but
it was so dark and the man pulled her up almost immediately and
they continued walking the dark path making Emily scared, she could
feel the chill run down her spine.
They finally approached light and Emily
heaved a sigh of relief but the man continued walking straight
without looking at her or uttering a word, Emily started wondering
if he is a man or a robot.
“Where are we going?” Emily asked, her eyes
quivering with curiosity.
“To meet the master”
“What master are you talking about? Where the
hell is he?”
”Just follow me and you will see.”
Emily was beginning to get impatient as she
thought aloud “I will give this man a hard punch that should make
him talk. This place is really big and I’ve not seen my father
since yesterday, we’ve not even reached the light we saw from afar?
This is a travesty.” She noticed that she was finding it hard to
breathe and the air around them was getting thinner.
Emily began to run as fast as he could, away
from the man who was trying to take her life. As she ran, she felt
the air around her getting thinner but noticed she was getting
closer to the light and the air was coming back to her, increasing
her agility as she ran.
She was suddenly stopped by the sight of a
huge substance covering the path where the light came from.
She exhaled and breathe some few words before
she slumped and started crying. “I am trapped.” She got the courage
as she stood up and took a different turn hoping to find a way out
of what she thought of as hell.
She began to move down the new she found
herself until she noticed that the place looked like a tunnel or
cave. “My room was deep down in the earth? What is this place
anyways?” she wondered aloud.
Emily began to jog, turning from left to
right until she was brought to a halt by a sight directly in front
of her as she screamed “Oh my God!, an active volcano?, I am in the
land of Oz.” She immediately heard a voice echo throughout the
whole place, sending chills down her spine.
“This is no Land of Oz, you are the chosen
and you have to fulfill your duty.”
“Who are you? And what is an active volcano
doing in a building?” she asked, legs shaking.
“I am the master of the Kurikana.” This is
