Hidden Valley

Doom awaits you

"What a way to say thank you" he said as he looked up at her, his ocean blue eyes that seemed to hold a vast amount of dark secrets gazed straight at her.

He had a pair of phoenix eyes, a well shaped eyebrow, his straight nose and his thin pink lips all seemed so captivating plus the beauty mole that lay perfectly right under his right eye just at the edge, causing her to be unable to respond as she was lost in his beauty.

"Am I that handsome?" he asked, and she snapped out of her thoughts, just to discover that his face was less than a centimeter close to hers'. They were so close that their lips were almost touching.

She hurriedly took a step back, while he stood up straight.

"Wh...why were you so close?" she stuttered.

"What don't you like it?" he said, something in those amber-cat-like eyes seemed to lure him. He didn't know what it was, but he was sure is both beautiful and dangerous.

"No...yes...n..y..es...don't change the subject. Who are you?"

"Leinad"

"Tsch, what a weird name" she thought, but unfortunately

"How's it weird?" he asked her as he sat down and continued drinking his wine.

"Where am I?" she asked, ignoring the question, though wondering how he heard her or guessed out at her thought.

"My house"

"Why?"

"I don't know yours" he answered.

"You should have..." she was about to say 'asked' but then realized that she was unconscious earlier on.

"Oh... thanks for your help. By the way, how do you know me? I don't think I've seen you before."

"You sure do ask a lot of questions" he said in his head as he dropped his wine glass on the table, stood up and walked away. Heading towards the stairs, he told the maid nearby to serve her dinner and that was the last she saw from him.

"Miss, this way please" the maid said while directing her towards the dining room, as she was instructed.

On the way, Amaya admired every nook and cranny of the living room. She didn't notice it when she got down, because a certain 'someone' took all her attention.

The living room was filled with a sophisticated aura due to the design. It had the design of an emperors' throne room with a touch of modern tech to it, it was quite vast as it took a while to reach the dining room.

She could swear it's much larger than her father's.

The room was quiet, not even a cricket sound could be heard, there was no light or, rather, the only source of light was the one from the burning candles. The scent of burning incense wafted through the room, her hair swaying gently, but no wind could be detected. She opened her eyes, which were glowing red, and some red hue could be seen at the corners of her eyes.

"Lekata tsukuma" she uttered, her voice so low that you could hardly hear it, and following her words the candles, an incense, burned with a weird light of green mixed with purple and a touch of blue, it wasn't exactly irritating, but it gave one the chills, her raven black hair that was gently swaying now changed tune as it started swaying in all directions as if a raging wind has visited.

All of a sudden, two portals came into view, one up the ceiling and one down on the ground facing each other.

"Tekita, deymada, nerusa, kyita... the four gods of the northern, southern, western and eastern seas, release your spirits.... dakina, tsukhe-shalyne... Release... The... Demons" she chanted, her eyes challenging from the glowing red to pure darkness.

Her eyes were no longer eyes, as they were fully black with black smoke coming out of them.

"Your doom awaits you Tatie..." she said and fell to the ground as she had used up all her energy.
