The Magical Ring

Great Khalid and the Hullah Cult

Long, long ago there was a little village in the Island of Visayas. The people there worship the Goddess of Stars, Stones and Steels. They believe that the Goddess are the one who protect them from dangers and riots.

The time come and a group of people brought Christianism to the Philippines. They have great influence in the country and a lot of Cult had vanished. Yet, the Hullah Cult within this little village become intangible. They never let anyone change their tradition and beliefs.

Until one day, an evil cult arised. The Cult is called El Tigris and they are very inhumane. They are encouraging everyone to join their Cult and worship their God called, Satur. They threatened those people who don't want to join their Cult, they are torturing and killing them. They are making a sacrifice to their God every full moon, a human sacrifice.

A lot of people get scared to become their sacrifice one day and just choose to become their member. Some tried to fight against the El Tigris and report it to the police and government. But, the law provider and protector of the country seems to be deaf and blind about the problem.

Until the El Tigris become very powerful. They even made to have access and control to the government. People live in fear of the cult and never dare to fight against them anymore.

Then, the leader of El Tigris receive a report that their is a village who have great devotion in worshiping a Goddess. And the said village is the Village of Hullah Cult. The Leader of El Tigris immediately send a group of people to recruit them and change their beliefs.

Khalid, the Leader of Hullah Village and Cult never allow the El Tigris to influence his people. He drive the El Tigris away with his men and his people rejoice. They never allowed anyone to ruin their beliefs and tradition since ever. Their mind is as hard as the stone, their heart is as great as the steel and the mission of El Tigris to recruit them is as far as the Stars to happen.

The Leader of El Tigris become very angry when he know that his followers were driven away by the Hullah Cult. Because of anger, the Leader of El Tigris gather his people and go to the Hullah Village himself. He mercilessly slaughtered all the villagers.

Khalid and his people fight against the El Tigris with all their might but the enemy is so many and strong. Until Khalid was hit by an arrow and fell on the ground.

When Khalid get conscious again, he saw a very sad and most pitiful scenery in his whole life. Their houses were burned, he's family and people were slaughtered.

The only thing left unmoved is the Sacred Large White Stone of Goddess Herashi. Khalid walk toward it even he's in great pain. He have a lot of wounds and an arrow stack in his chest, he is bleeding but he try hard to reach the sacred Stone.

Khalid kneel down in front of the Sacred White Stone.

"Almighty Goddess Herashi, Goddess of Stone, Steel and Stars. Please hear your servant, please help your people. Please let me avenge for your servants and give justice to the people who is now suffering from the evil cult of El Tigris. This humble servant in front of you now is willing to sacrifice himself, I am willing to sacrifice just to avenge our cult and restore it again." Khalid humbly pray and cried to the Goddess and when he rise his head, he saw the Goddess standing above the stone. It is the first and last time that the Goddess appeared in front of a human.

Khalid feel scared when he saw the Goddess but she smiled at him.

"The bodies with in the whole village is already enough to awaken me. My poor people!" the Goddess sadly said. "We, Gods and Goddesses is not allowed to punish humans by our own hands. Accept this Ring, this will help you get rid of Evils and give peace to this country. Restore the Village and spread the Hullah Cult again," the Goddes said and she disappeared leaving a floating beautiful Ring in front of Khalid.

Khalid reach the Magical Ring and wear it. Then, the arrow disappeared and all his wounds suddenly healed. Khalid kneel and bow down three times to thank the Goddess for her help.

Khalid rise and walk around. All the corpses that he passed by slowly vanished. It is believed that the Goddess already take them to the Paradise. Yet, Khalid didn't see his wife from the scattered corpses. He feel delighted and believe that her wife had escaped.

Then, Khalid wait for the full moon where all the El Tigris gather to their temple and make a sacrifice to the God of War, Hate and l**t. Khalid waited for them to start and was surprised that his wife is their human sacrifice.

In anger, Khalid shoot all his arrows to the El Tigris people. Everyone fall into chaosness, shouting and rumbling to escape. Yet, Khalid spare no one that he can see. He run toward the crowd and kill everyone with his sword.

Some shoot Khalid with a g*n but it didn't work on him. Some fight against Khalid with their swords and knife but it's useless. Some tried to run away but Khalid mercilessly killed them. Khalid want to kill all of them and never let the El Tigris rise again.

When Khalid reach the sacrificing table, her wife is no longer there.

The Leader of the El Tigris Cult is holding a knife on Khalid's wife's neck.

"Drop your weapon or I will cut off the head of this innocent lady." The Leader of El Tigris threatened the Great Khalid.

Khalid immediately drop his sword and crossbow. Then, the leader of El Tigris laughed at him.

"Hahaha!" He laughed. "Coward!" the leader shouted at Khalid. "Tie him." He told his one and only servant that was left.

The servant tied Khalid's hand with a chain that is nailed in the wall.

"You already have me. Now, let go of my wife," Khalid shouted at the leader.

"HAHAHAHA!" An evil laugh of the El Tigris Leader. "I am Este, the son of God Satur. Who are you to order me? Hahahaha!" Satur said.

All of the El Tigris member called themselves, Son of Satur.

"You evil," Khalid shouted but he can do nothing to save his wife now.

Este cut off the head of Khalid's wife. Then, he throw the head to Khalid.

"You killed my people and now you're asking me to let go of that woman?" Este asked. "Then I already let go of her head hahaha," Este said.

"Aaaahhhh!" Khalid shouted in agony. His tears seems to be racing while it flows into his face. "Luci!" he shouted while crying. " My pitiful wife," Khalid murmured.

"That can't afford to pay for the loss of my Cult. Even your life cannot," Este shouted and shoot Khalid with his g*n. He shoot Khalid all over his body but the bullets just fall on the ground when it reach Khalid's body.

"Impossible!" Este exclaimed and he feel a little scared of Khalid. Then, he grab a sword and tried to stab and s***h Khalid but the man is invincible by any weapon. He even tried to stab Khalid's eyes but it only shined as the sword approaches.

Khalid's body is now as hard as the stone and great as a steel. His eyes shines like a star with full of hope to finally have his revenge. He kicked Este with his right foot and catch the sword with his left foot. He throw the sword into the chain and he free himself.

Then, Khalid get the sword. The servant run toward Khalid and kneel down but Khalid cut off his head.

Este had his legs broken when Khalid kick him lately and he bumped on the table. He crawled backward seeing Khalid approaching with a sword. He is trembling in fear but Khalid didn't kill him that moment.

"I will make you pay in front of Hullah Cult that you slaughtered," Khalid said and he tied the Leader of El Tigris Cult. Then, he bring the guy into his village together with the body of his wife.

Khalid burned Este alive in front of the sacred white Stone. After Este turned into ashes, he offered his wife's body and it slowly disappeared in front of him.

"From now on, I will build an even more better Cult. An intangible Cult that will worship no one but Goddess Herashi. A strong Cult that no one can break like a Stone and Steel. A cult that will guide that people to travel in a right pathway like a star at night. A great Cult that will give justice and peace to everyone. Hullah Cult, the protector of the World." Khalid promised in front of the sacred stone.

"What happened next?" I asked to Colin.
