Chapter 12: Saved by being Cautious (Part 2)

--------------------------------------

[24 Hours ago and lost memory.]

'Why do these People enjoy pointless Plot's so much?' I thought to myself as we left the room where they had their pointless discussion and moved towards the hall where the ceremony is going to be held.

The hall was filled with many people and in the center, there was some kind of magic circle with runes etched into the ground.

"Dear guests, I thank you for following our invitation and participating in today's ceremony. Boys take your places inside the circle, Arwel please bring in the sacrifices." Cassius said with a smile.

My uncle brought in four naked people, they all looked around 30 years of age, and had some weird drawings on their bodies, he made them kneel in front of us facing towards the center of the circle.

My father began chanting something, then my mother joined in and slowly more and more people started joining them in their chant and finally, the whole hall was filled with the weird eerie chanting and suddenly I heard a female whispering in my ear.

"Kill the sacrifice."

"Murder the sacrifice."

"Take his insignificant life."

'I don't want to kill him.' I focused on not killing him.

The voice grew louder and louder, turning from a whisper to the sound of raging thunder, commanding, threatening, demanding that I murder the person in front of me. I could not help but starting to sweat, I felt my body getting heavier and heavier, I knew for a fact that this was not happening in my head this was really happening.

She was pressuring me, doing her best to force my hand so that I become a murderer.

I could feel her presence behind me looking down on me, she is waiting, waiting to see if I would succumb and when exactly I would do so.

By this point, the whole room had descended into darkness, and the only thing I could perceive is the person kneeling in front of me.

I could not even feel myself anymore, all I felt was the beating heart of the person in front of me.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Each time his heart made a beat it sounded like a bomb going off inside my head.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

"Do it."

"Do it already."

"Two of your brothers have already succumbed."

"What is it that you want in exchange for taking this life?"

"Do it and I will give you what you desire."

"Are you afraid of blood, killing, or dirtying your hands?"

"Why are you fighting against the inevitable?"

"You are the last one just do it already."

'It is not that I have anything against killing but I feel like you are unable to give me what I want.' I thought to myself.

"Oh, you are underestimating me."

"What is it that you desire?"

'I want [Death] itself.' I stated.

"Haha, you want me to kill you?"

'The [Death] I want is not you killing me. I want the [Death].'

"Boy, your demand is intriguing my main self wants to meet you.": she said as she suddenly pulled me back into the darkness.

I felt like I was falling for eternity and suddenly I was standing inside a big hall, the floor, the walls even the ceiling everything was made from stone which had a dark luster, it resembled obsidian but I was sure it was not.

Obsidian for sure would not have the characteristic of showing white moving faces inside it, this stone was just creepy and I could even make out that hands from stone formed, trying to grab something only to sink back inside the stone.

The whole hall gave me goosebumps like never in my life before, even in prison when rats crawled on my body while I was sleeping I did not feel such a level of disgust but this place was just giving off such an aura.

"Come closer." an alluring female voice sounded from the end of the hall.

'I have died once so what is there to be afraid of?' I thought to myself and started moving.
