AMARA'S POV
I walked in after the wishes, after Sophia had walked into her own designated portal. I had left Lu behind, with a heavy sigh i charged in, the portal Closing up with a zap sound behind me, it was a vast magical space, i realized that magic spaces played a key role in this part of the witching world and i wondered what mine would be like, back home at the Coven we didn't dwell into this aspect of magic because business was most normally handled in the physical world, summoning was done in the physical world too. I walked in and saw no one, it was empty, i inwardly concluded that maybe my opponent was on thier way and hadn't arrived yet so i decided to use my spare time to find a source or this duel, i realized that contrary to my former experiences with magic spaces, i could still channel quite a number of deities and gods here. I began to feel with my eyes closed, powers that were closer to me, and that was when i felt it....an ominous aura, filled with blood lust and bathed in the blood of people, i could hear screams different voices, crying for help, i twitched and covered my ears with my hands to block out the noise but it amounted to nothing and in no time i joined in the screaming too and after what felt like an internity, the screaming stopped and i too stopped almost immediately with it, then i heard a giggle a soft deep feminine giggle, the giggle came again and again, until it advanced to a full high pitched chortle and snickering each laugh hitting my ear drums causing me to hiss in pain as I covered my ears, i sat flat on the floor and curled, folding myself, the ominous feeling i had now advanced into something more sinister, it was FEAR.
The cackles ceased and a clink sound, attracted my attention, i raised my head to look if i could find the source and that was when i saw her, a tall nude figure, body the colour of jade, hair colour of silver, silky and flowing shining like the stars, she had long decorated nails and stood on her fore foot
'Hi sweet pie' she said, her voice booming confidence into my body, the feeling of fear depreciating i now had enough courage to get up on my feet.
'Yes, stand up that's good' she said reassuringly.
'Who are you?' i asked boldly but my voice still broke into caracks, indicating the lurking fear i had.
'Now, Now there's no need to be feisty, take a guess' she said as she now moved closer, each step creating an absolute clink sound, i suspected that she was actually made of jade. I brainstormed to find out who she might be, all evidences pointed to the word "Demon" and i said it out loud..
'Demon?' i muttered but she heard it and she let out a giggle
'Did it on the first try, impressive' she replied, she had now stopped moving, she was now within my reach and me in hers, i suspected that if a fight were to break out that moment, she could get me first so i quickly searched for a source of power and that was when i saw a quite interesting one, it was the principal's energy, i thought that she was that powerful but not that powerful, that my magic could recognize her as a reliable source; i guess the title of queen of dryads was enough to make her a deity. So i reached for her power and grabbed unto it, the many perks of being a special powered witch. My magical orbs materialising on my fingers, the woman simply looked and snapped her fingers, suddenly i couldn't feel the Principal's power anymore, it had ceased and so had my magic, i opened my mouth to say something but the words got stuck in my throat.
'What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?' she asked smiling, i didn't reply
'Fear...you would be surprised of the many things fear could take from us, take for instance i didn't cease your magic, you did...' she added, giggling again.
'What?!' i exclaimed as i tried to activate my magic again and surprisingly it went well, my magic was right there.
'I just merely snapped my fingers, it was nothing special and had no effect but because you had fear in you , you subconsciously created that scenario for yourself ' she replied, now walking around circling me, clink...clink....clink.... My eyes followed her
'Tell me young witch, have you figured out who i am yet?' she said.
'No' i replied, i genuinely didn't know
'You really don't know anything do you?, my feelings are kind of hurt, taking that i am an impending danger on your world and yet i am still a side story despite being a Cardinal demon' she said as she sighed, she was still circling around me . But my eyes had stop following her, there were two female Cardinal demons and we have met Lilith she wasn't like this and that meant this was.. 'JEZEBEL' i said out loud. She was now laughing, a laughter of joy a kind little girls did when they are promised a doll or doll house.
'You figured it out ' she said as she was now floating, taking spins in the air.
'So, now what?' i asked seriously. She stopped laughing now and touched down on the floor directly before me, she was now closer than before,
'Tell me girl do you know why my skin is made of Jade?' she asked and i simply replied No
'It's because my original body was devoured by the hyenas after i fell off the tower, after being killed by God's servant but i was offered salvation and was reborn into a beautiful being, the beautiful being i am today' she said, a twist of melancholy evident in her voice and mannerisms.
'But now i get to hunt men forever ' she added, giggling again.
' Do you feel that you have had enough of this demonhood?' i asked boldly, some how i felt like we could hold a conversation
'Not really, i haven't done enough if anything ' she said smiling, her jaded hands folded.
'What are the objective of the Cardinal Demons and the Demons at large?' i asked
' Each of us , have our own goals , i for one love tormenting men but generally we are to KILL, STEAL and DESTROY, that is the general objective' she replied.
'What happened 1000 years ago, why did Mona Lisa not destroy you all' i asked again
'Oh Lisa...i am guessing she isn't alive any longer...cause i can't feel her presence anymore '
I shook my head and she continued
'Quite honestly, i was in support of her imprisonment. The Demons were doing too much at that time and they needed to go' she said not adding anything further, i tried not to press my luck anymore. She looked at me and smiled
'Glad i was able to talk to you, i was actually meant to kill you in a fight but not today , take care Amara the next time we see we might not be so jolly like this' she said as she turned her back to me and dissolved into the air.
