Chapter 4 An Unknown Place

  • An Unknown Place
  • Leah
  • The bleeding refuses to stop, and this place looks so lonely. What kind of problem is this now? I am always careful with my body and my spotless skin; now I have a wound, seeing my blood makes me angrier at those jerks who went after me.
  • I should have just married him instead of coming to this place in the middle of nowhere; mom and Lux will be so worried about me now.
  • How can I be so stupid and foolish? I should have just hidden, making them run past me, then returning home at night; I didn't even think well.
  • No, why am I blaming myself? It's all her fault; the dream I had with god Ariel it's the same as what took place; I became happy, thinking she would come out soon and rescue me as before. This is so unusual.
  • I need to find my way back and apologise to mom; it is not my fault I ran off; I can't be forced against my will, most especially marrying someone I barely know or love, and he's even ugly too, he looks very old, and who knows I might be his fifth wife, I can't even kiss such a man.
  • "Ouch" I felt the pains on my foot, immediately, I tried making use of it to walk.
  • "Anyone in here" I got no response; what the hell is this place looking so calm and quiet.
  • I started leaping, but I notice after few minutes, it was like I wasn't heading in a direction; the place was still as silent as the grave.
  • " What on earth is this place, am I lost or something? Mom, Lux, I am here, please help me, those running after me earlier, please come and catch me, I am tired."
  • I got shocked again hearing a heavy thunder storm.
  • I wasn't feeling lively anymore; I think I won't be able to leave this place, no sign of anyone, not even the god her self Ariel I saw in my dreams, now I need her help she is nowhere to be found.
  • Maybe this is a punishment for those that refuse to get married by the god of manipulative set down rules to all villages subjected to him.
  • Well, he should better come out and face me now I am here.
  • "Hey, god of manipulative, I broke your rules by not getting married, so whatever may be your punishment, bring it on, for I am not afraid of you."
  • My voice echoes back to me; I just got frustrated the more and was very hungry too.
  • I manage to walk again by still leaping till I saw a beautiful fountain that wasn't letting out the water correctly, and behold, in the middle was a mighty sword.
  • " This sword is different from other words used in our village; this sword looks like history to me; the illustrations I saw as a kid of God of war sword are the same. Wow, this is amazing; it has all the markings, so finally, I am seeing what belongs to a war god myself with physical eyes, Zeus' gift, but so painful the war god is no more; he deserves it anyone, his heartless." I paused, looking around, expecting Ariel, his sister, to stop me from saying that about her brother, but no one came.
  • "Well, anytime the manipulative guards or he comes, I will defeat him by using this sword anyway."
  • I started losing my vision gradually, seeing I am losing so much blood already; I looked at the path I passed; it has bloodstains everywhere.
  • Just then, I managed to climb to get close to where the sword is; I was so drawn to it to raise it".
  • I heard a voice behind it," Don't touch it" I turned to see who spoke; I was seeing the person as three in my vision; I smiled and collapsed and went into the water.

  • Back to the village, the guards were sent to chase after Leah was breathing so heavily.
  • "Did you see that?" one of them said, pointing".
  • " Yes, I saw that; I pity for her, see what stubbornness has landed her now, she should just have accepted the marriage, maybe by now they would have been having sex and while we will be celebrating, eating and getting drunk, getting ladies for the night," the other one said.
  • "I can't run after her anyone; that's the god stroll path; maybe she will just be a living sacrifice to them," he responded.
  • " Let's go and break the sad news to her groom-to-be and her lovely mother along with her foolish friend that she has entered the no-way path of the god. I wonder how she became close to that foolish Lux; he acts so opposite, I prefer to have an animal as a pet instead of him; let's return".
  • They didn't chase Leah to the path she took.
  • The mother was already happy, and Lux was with her but hearing her daughter ran off, she lost her happiness, but luckily Leah friend, Lux, was with her, trying to make her happy and said, "I am sure the guard will get her, she is too lazy to have run faster than the guards."
  • The groom became angrily destroying the things available for the local custom of the wedding after hearing the bride is missing.
  • "Your stupid Leah just humiliated me; it shows you fail to train her properly as culture demands, you must pay back everything I spent, else you become my slave," he left.
  • A bride ruining away from her marriage on the deal day has never happened in their village before; people talked about it.
  • Leah's mom cried day and night for the disgrace and not setting eyes on her daughter for days.
  • The people came in saying that the god of manipulative demands Leah's mom, Lux went with her.
  • To be continued.
