Naagin (rise of the serpent)

Chapter 50: CHAPTER FIFTY: THE MESSAGE



It was once again, a dark room. Filled with darkness and all the atrocities that had been committed over the years. One wouldn't want to be in such a room, so filled with a lot of evil even for just a small size.

A man who we all know as Huck was sitting on a dark throne, just in the middle of the room. He was drinking a red liquid from a glass. It could have probably been blood. Maybe, he was drinking blood.

Nevertheless,he unconsciously stared into space, his mind wandering far from the darkness that enveloped him.

He had committed a lot of sins and atrocities. He knew.

But his quest for power, indestructible and unbeatable power clouded his way of reasoning. He wanted to get back on the one that stole love from his hands. He wanted to kill the one that stole away love from his very heart. He wanted to make him suffer, that was the drive that pushing him into wanting for power.

He never really cared if he wiped out a whole community and kept it's inhabitants as slaves for years. All he did was just for power.

He never cared if he had to imprison the son of a priestess for many years, just to lay his hands on that power.

He never cared if he had to kill,as long as he gets his hands on that power.

He never cared at all.

He was going to get the powers of the Jewel,kill the chosen one and deal with the person that stole love from his hands.

"Don't worry, Hijirar. I'm going to make sure you die just the way the love of my life did".

He said to the darkness. Pain could be felt in his voice despite it's coldness.

"Good thing, your second daughter was born a human. It just gave me an opportunity to get back at you. But you soiled my plans by prophesying about that fucking chosen one".

A shattering noise was heard in the dark room. It was the glass cup filled with blood. Huck had drank it empty before he easily shattered it to pieces.

He smirked at his action. A plan forming his head. A very evil plan.

"Don't worry Hijirar. I will shatter that chosen one of yours, just the way I did to this cup. The same way I wiped Umuguor community from existence and kept it's inhabitants slaves, I'll make the whole country of Casablanca do my biddings".

Huck smiled in satisfaction of his words. But he never knew that Hijirar's second daughter was also the chosen one. How touching can this story be.

Huck was still in the dark room when the only door in it was opened. Lance opened the door to the dark room and entered the room without much stress. He strolled easily to were Huck sat. He smiled darkly at the sight of Huck. Once again, Huck was drinking blood.

Huck looked up from gazing at the floor. He knew it was Lance who had entered the room because actually,it was only Lance that could access the room. He stood up from the throne and stood at full height.

The throne which he was sitting on before was laced with dark energy. Such dark energy was gotten from the soul essences that were collected everyday and it made Huck more powerful. The soul essences that were gathered everyday from Huck's drug product was converted into dark energy and therefore transferred into the throne.

The dark room was more like a basement were the soul essences were collected and transformed into dark energy. And that dark energy made Huck more powerful.

Lance walked over to Huck who was sitting on the throne in the middle of the room. As Lance walked over to Huck ,he could feel his power level increasing tremendously. Maybe because, he was inside the room were the soul essences were collected and transformed into energy.

"What is it, Lance?" Huck asked coldly but not roughly. "Haven't I told you not to disturb me when I am in the energy room?"

Lance smirked at Huck's sayings. Not really bothered about it. He knew Huck wouldn't do him anything, so there was nothing to be scared of.

Lance cleared his throat before speaking in a calm but playful manner (crazy right?).

"It's a serious matter, Huck".

Lance announced not moving from were he stood.

Quite interesting that he called Huck by his name instead of something more like, boss.

Huck looked at Lance as if staring into his soul. He sighed softly then tapped Lance on the shoulder.

"Speak, tell me about this serious matter" Huck said while rolling his eyes.

He sat down back on the throne or should I say a seat that converts soul essences to energy.

Lance sighed. He wanted to have a seat and talk calmly with his partner or perhaps friend.

He closed his eyes as he allowed his inner energy to flow to his hands. His hands gave a purple glow before turning into purple fire.

Huck raised an eyebrow, quite at lost on what Lance was doing. But he watched calmly not interrupting.

Lance hands were now laced with purple fire. He touched the air and a chair made of purple fire appeared. The purple fire in his hands disappeared after that and he sat calmly on the chair. The purple fire weren't actually hurting him,it was his inner energy so it wouldn't hurt him.

"Did you really have to take a seat? Couldn't you have just been standing?"

Huck asked the two questions at once.

Lance only chuckled coldly.

"But if don't mind,try commending me for my sorcery powers that has increased".

"You are right, your sorcery has increased. So tell me what serious matter are you talking about?"

Lance sighed again while shaking his head sideways.

"What are your plans on getting the Jewel and Naagin?" Lance asked.

"I thought I told you before. I was going to use the old lady's son in luring them all out of the Umuguor forest" Huck said with a hint of blood lust.

"Oh yeah I almost forgot but how are you going to get a message across to them when they are in the Umuguor forest?" Lance asked.

Huck sighed.

"I already tried getting the message across to them but the forces of Umuguor forest wouldn't let me into the forest. But anyways, I'll going to make it more like a trade. And that is to trade the freedom of the old lady's son for both the Jewel and the chosen one".

Lance nodded at Huck's sayings. He smiled with evil written all over his face.

"That would make it more interesting. The old hag would have to choose between her son's freedom or Naagin and the Jewel" Lance smirked evenly.

"She would have no choice but to give up the Jewel and that bastard Naagin for the sake of her son" Huck smiled at his words. "Besides, you still haven't told me the serious matter".

"Oh, yeah. Good thing you reminded me".

Lance chuckled.

"So out with it. I'm getting impatient" Huck said tapping his foot on the floor.

"It's about the king of Agbejor community and the elders" Lance announced with a hint of sadness.

Huck rolled his eyes at Lance's sudden sadness.

"What about those old lazy bones with power?" Huck asked.

"They are threatening to withdraw" Lance simply said.

"I don't understand" Huck raised an eyebrow.

Lance sighed once again,it made Huck think Lance has some sighing sickness.

"They are threatening to release the people of Umuguor community. They feel that the wrath of Hijirar is upon them for joining you in waging war against Umuguor community. The king and the elders of Agbejor community have already made up their minds and they urge the people of Agbejor community to pray for forgiveness from Hijirar. They are planning to release the people of Umuguor community from their slavery" Lance blurted out everything he had gathered, therefore waiting for Huck's reaction.

"What?!!!!!!"

Huck screamed loudly in a cold voice that somehow shook the room. Lance seemed to cower in fear.

"Hey, buddy calm down. You don't have to scream like that" Lance said while trying to calm him down.

Huck took a deep breath and calmed himself almost immediately. He had unconsciously stood from his throne without even knowing.

"Those old lazy bones are getting on my nerves. I thought I already convinced them to be on my side but instead they are backing out after we already took down Umuguor community. Can't believe they are already even considering releasing the remaining inhabitants of Umuguor community".

Huck blurted out with anger. His rage seemed to glow alongside his eyes.

"What are we going to do now, Huck?"

Lance asked looking up at Huck. Huck looked down at him with an angry smirk.

Huck placed his index finger on his lips as he entered a thinking mode. After sometime, he looked at Lance once again and smiled.

"Since those old bones want to back out and release the Umuguor slaves,we are not going to let that happen". Huck said to which Lance nodded.

"Give the orders Huck and I will see to it that it comes to pass".

Lance said with his voice laced with assurance.

"Try convincing them against releasing the people of Umuguor community that are slaves and also try to assure them that the wrath of Hijirar is not upon them" Huck ordered.

"What if they refuse?" Lance asked.

"Then it's time I wipe those old bones out of existence. Once I'm done with that, I'll take control over the Agbejor community. I shall rule the community into achieving my goals" Huck spoke while smiling wickedly.

Lance nodded once Huck have given his orders but Huck continued while still smiling wickedly.

"For now, just try convincing them. Let's say, it's a way of keeping their old bones alive" Huck concluded with a wicked laugh of his own.

Lance nodded and stood up. Immediately he stood up, his chair made of purple fire faded away.

"I'll be on my way now and thanks for commending my efforts to get stronger" Lance said with a happy grin.

Huck nodded and sat down back on the throne.

He watched as Lance left the dark room. He couldn't help but sigh in ecstasy. It was really getting quite interesting for him.

Still in the dark room, Huck could be seen chanting a spell. His chants grew louder as darkness enveloped him even more.

"Chabu lasiki indaàæà hhiggo pasdogas cbvzk liadky bcvka".

He repeatedly chanted the ancient spell while giving out raw dark energy. After some time, darkness completely enveloped him and a portal appeared.

The portal was unique in every way but very scary but Huck was not deterred. An old woman at about more than a hundred year walked out of the portal. She seemed weak but Huck knew that this foe wasn't weak. She held a staff which she used as a walking stick but raw energy emitted from the staff.

The old woman bowed weakly before saying something.

"Master, you sent for me" the old woman said not raising her head.

Surprisingly, Huck bowed as well. He cleared his throat before saying anything. He also didn't raise his head.

"Evil witch of dreams and nightmares. I may want a favour from you" Huck said still not raising his head.

The old woman raised her head and looked at Huck who was bending ad he bowed. Hearing his words, the old woman couldn't help but chuckle.

"Remember I owe you one. Ask and if it is within my power, I shall help".

Huck who was still bowing smiled as he fixed his eyes on the ground.

"I just need you to do something for me. Help me deliver a message in the form a a dream" Huck requested, his voice laced with respect and perhaps,fear.

The old woman laughed. She laughed so much that she had to hold her staff for support. Once done, she turned to Huck and said while smiling.

"You know that's my special tea. Delivering a message is just so easy. Just give the orders, remember that I owe you one".

Huck smiled at the old woman's words.

'Now old lady Papirus will have to choose, either her son's freedom or Naagin and the Jewel'

Huck thought while smirking.
