Chapter 36

• This was the time. Anna was ready to take the stage and nodded to Chase for the go-ahead. About that time, her new music blared over the Ritual-X arena. Smoke rose on stage as the golden throne rolled into view with fog surrounding her. The impact of her entrance was nothing like anyone had ever seen before. It was like a queen going to war and she felt empowered for once in her life.
• The fear was gone now. She was going to take her life back, and it started now, in a grand display for the world to see, live on television and in front of millions of adoring fans.
• As the music played, she slowly rose from the throne and two ladies came from backstage, dressed as her coven servants, matching her cloak. With them, four golden armored men wearing the same, raised her to their shoulders, carrying her to the ring as she sat on the throne.
