The Condition...
Jude Emberglow
Are you really going to agree❄️?
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*sigh* Sis
Jude Emberglow
I don't want you to...😟
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
You know I am going to accept it...
Jude Emberglow
It's not your responsibility *shouts*
Jude Emberglow
They can handle themselves....*sarcastically*...they are the 'elite' soldiers after all
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
JUDE
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
They need me... I'm the only one who knows what's inside the forest
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
The seal's broken...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
That monster's gonna unleash hell on our Realm...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
It won't take him long to find a way out of the forest 😟
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
We need to kill him or at least seal him away
Jude Emberglow
But you fear it...the monster😟
Jude Emberglow
So how will you...??
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I do fear it...but I can help them, I don't want to stand back and watch people die
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I can't 😥
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*walks closer to Jude*
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Break the seal you put on me Jude...then only I can step into the forest🙂
Jude Emberglow
😢 I don't wanna lose you
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*softly* you won't...I promise 😊
Jude Emberglow
*in mind* there's no point in fighting with her... she's stubborn...she won't listen even if I beg ☹️
Jude pulls out a small knife from her pocket and cuts her right hand's ring finger...the blood oozes out
Jude Emberglow
*grab Dominique's left hand*
She spreads the blood in circular motion on the tattoo and chants something in ancient language
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*breath hitches*
The tattoo on Dominique's hand starts to fade and the small green sphere light pours out of her hand
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*heart beats fast* 💓
After a few seconds the light stops pouring out and the tattoo vanishes completely
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*heart beats went to normal*
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
😊
Jude Emberglow
*presses lips*
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Thank you, Jude *hugs her*
Jude Emberglow
You better keep your promise *returns the hug* 🫂
Jude Emberglow
*in mind* Mom Dad please look over her 😢
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*tries to break the hug*
Jude Emberglow
*tighten the hug* 🫂
Jude Emberglow
Just for a few more seconds
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Hmm
Dominique knew that her sister only ever wanted what's best for her...she knew Jude was worried...but the thought of that monster roaming and wrecking havoc scared her more..So she had to do this even if she has to go against her sister
(this is her remembering the past)
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I remember when I was a kid, when mom and dad were still alive... they used to tell me the stories of the Forest of Gurth
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
The forest of... Death ☠️
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
they said whoever went inside the forest either died...or lost their sanity...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I was curious...I wanted to know what was inside that forest that made people fear it so much
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Years later when I was old enough to handle myself but still young enough to be called a child....I gave in to my curiosity
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I sneaked inside the forest
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
What I saw there *shakes her head*
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I saw all sorts of things...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Good..bad
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Until I reached there....the place where the monster was sealed
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I understood why people who survived went insane...this monster...it reeked of death...you could almost taste it
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
At that time an unknown fear got a hold of me...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
The fear wasn't because I thought the monster would kill me or that it's presence was so overwhelming that it suffocated me...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
No...it was something else
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I feared this monster for some other reasons...so I ran...as fast as I could
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
till I fainted..I kept running 💨
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
When I opened my eyes I was back in my room...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Later I found out that the guards who were on patrol found me at the border of the forest.. unconscious
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
But what shocked me was the fact that I was missing for a whole month and was almost declared dead
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
A few years later my parents left us forever 😢
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
And I again tried to sneak back inside the forest...maybe because I was curious or maybe because I wanted to distract myself from the horrendous fact that I had just become an orphan
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
But I was reckless and got caught by my sister
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
That same night my sister put a seal on me that forbade me to enter the forest...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
you are right on time...it's actually creeping me out how 'right' on time you are 😬 *fake shivers*
Ambrose

Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)

Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)

Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)

Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
