Chapter 5: A sinister beauty


    A sinister Beauty


    - Helena''s room -


    "She can perform disappearing magic. Her name is Alyssa and she said she was my sister. She said I was special and am someone the whole world would go to war with for I am an herald? She said I am really special... special? As in, I can do magics like her? Special magics?" she began to ask herself a lot of questions.


    "But she was powerful. Appearing and disappearing like it''s nothing. Can I do magic like that?..... There''s really nothing special about me but she said she came to tell me about myself so I wouldn''t live my life like every normal child. Since she said so, I must be unique then. I can''t refute the statement of such person. She can''t be wrong, right?" Helena continued to question herself.


    Then she went back to lie on her bed. She continued to think of all that Alyssa said. She even thought of asking her mom if she was her true mother but she felt awkward just thinking of that.


    She made up her mind that she would wait till her mother was ready to tell her if she was her real biological mother.


    - ck Scorpion Pce -


    "Lord ck Scorpion. We would have to send our men to other kingdoms. We have dispatched some groups before and we want to send out other men. The ones sent out have covered three kingdoms but we haven''t heard anything from them since they hadn''t gotten any news. But I believe with time, the girl would be found." A man in the kneeling position said. "Hmm. Carry on with your work then" Lord ck Scorpion said in pain.


    Twelve years ago when he fought Eden, the Banisher. He was greatly injured. He was inflicted with grievous, magic-enhanced physical wounds. The magic imbued into the wound prevented the wounds on his body from healing and every night he would suffer from extremely intense cold that would cause him to turn white from frostpletely enveloping his being.


    Even everything around him for a distance of sixty feet would be thickly covered in ice when the magical illnesses up. He had called upon magical physicians, people who treat people using magic but they treated him to no avail.


    Eden''s dark seraphim bloodline-magical power actually had ice and frost generation abilities.


    His eyes shone with anger. For twelve years, he had bearing this sickness. He vowed that if he finds the Banisher anywhere, he would totally decimate him.


    But he knew it was his overconfidence in his body''s toughness that caused all these. Next time, he would be more cautious when dealing with people lest he be killed and not know he was already dead and how he was killed.


    A bright red light shed in his room before a woman dressed in a sexy scarlet gown appeared. She was extremely beautiful and bountifully endowed. She was exceedingly voluptuous and curvaceous as the gown she wore was stretched to the maximum.


    She had long silvery hairs, intense crimson eyes that sparkled like a polished gem and a full, naturally red lips that gave one the urge to rush over to kiss it and suck it. She carried herself with a great personality.


    But under that beguiling face and sexually attractive body was the intent to kill as she desired and maraud. Her heart was simply full of wickedness not known to man and she was extremely unpredictable.


    Called Scarlet Bloodqueen, She was known for her great skills in battle as she was extremely strong. She was a strong user ofbat-magic and an highly skilled warrior.


    Once she appeared, she said in a proud tone "Arnold, you called me. Am surprised, you have never called me to even greet me since thest time we met. What''s up?" she asked. "I am sorry. I have been busy with a lot. I need your help Linda. I want you to help me go to the Skylight kingdom. There''s an old man called Miracukus. He''s a powerful magical healing adept. Bring him to me. Only he I think can cure my wounds" Lord ck Scorpion said.


    She looked at his wounds. "Wow. Who did these to the mighty you?" Linda asked in a surprised tone. "It''s the Banisher." Lord ck Scorpion said.


    Linda shook as her mouth opened wide in shock. "He''s still alive? That half-Seraphim and half-whatever bastard is still alive?! I thought the Order of Greater Good have beenpletely destroyed?" she asked loudly in a puzzled tone.


    "They have. But he wasn''t there when the dark cleansing took ce. He has dropped his heroic identity since to take care of his family." Lord ck Scorpion said. "Hmm.... Alright. I would help you get the miserable old man." she said with a smile and vanished in a blinding sh of red light.


    This woman was Lord ck Scorpion''s peer. They have been friends since ages past. But he chose to covertly rule over the kingdom his organization was based in. While Linda continued in her quest to discover more ancient powers as she had arger goal in mind.


    She was deviousness and insidiousness wrapped up in greatly charming beauty.


    - Skylight Kingdom -


    A woman robed in scarlet and riding a horse could been on the road. Arge hood was put over her head which hid her face. Then some men dressed in military uniforms approached her and stopped her. "Heydy, please take off your hood. Let''s see your face." One of them said and the other''s eyes began to glow with interest.


    "I am sorry, I won''t be able toply to your request. Please let me be on my way and everyone would be fine" Thisdy responded and she was no other than Linda. "Come on, are you a criminal? We just wanna see your great face and you would be on your way. Take it off now or we would take it that you are an ouw" one of them replied in an angry tone. "hmph! Then she pointed at them.


    Abruptly,rge transparent swords that glowed in scarlet light, condensed from her magical energy materialized and shot towards these men at great speeds.


    Shrrr!


    It pierced through their armored chest te without any resistance, like a hot knife through butter.
