The only way to stop the crisis was to make a sacrifice or to go into the mountains forest on the night of the blood moon find the blaq mark on the tree of Ablabi ( tree that never dies) and reverse the spell...only then will you be free from this curse. But no one has went beyond the walls of this city in that destination, please is there no other way Ally asked curiously. No, there is not....all you can do is a partial sacrifice of your self which can only last you within the period of every blood moon. And so was it ally made a sacrifice with her self by giving out dozens of blood in the ritual ground within the period of every blood moon.
she never lived in peace but got married and gave birth to wonderful children, and some of her female descendants had also faced the same fate as ally did, but none have been able to reverse the curse till date.
Linda listened to the whole story and was shocked that her great great grand mother was such a loving soul....to give up her peaceful life for the sake of her aunt.
Linda: so mom..
Mom:umhmm
Linda: Did you also go through the same fate as....her.
Mom: No, Linda
Linda: Then why me mom (I said with eyes all teary)
Mom: please don't be sad, we can go through it together.
Linda: How.....mom how, am alread having strange dreams accompanied by strange strength.....powers or whatever and you are saying we can go through this together, from what am hearing am the only one who can fight this war.
Mom: Linda, please listen
Linda: listen to what exactly, I made my own aunt unconscious and laying in a critical state, mom this is not a situation to listen.....
Mom:Linda!!!
Linda:Mom!!!!
Mom:Listen, you have to calm down, the blood moon is in two days and the spirits will rise, your powers will evaporate and you'll be able to control it.....
Dad:Linda ( Silence falls).... you have to be safe. this is a critical issue and if we don't try to control it then..... things ain't gonna be in place anymore.
Linda;yes we do, and there is only one way to break the curse... I have to go to the forest.
Mom: No way.
Linda: Mom I didn't ask for your opinion thanks alot.
Mom:You ain't going to that forest.
Linda:Yes, I will
Dad:No you won't.
Linda:Dad??
Dad: you aren't risking your life at this
Mom: Letting out tons of blood is risking my life dad.
Dad: we aren't going to lose you to that forest Linda.
Linda: And am not suffering in the ash claws of this horrible curse dad.
; there was deep silence then
Dad: Linda, never leave the walls of this city in the destination of the mountain forest.
I looked at her dad for a second before taking out the dinning knife and sliced open her wrist startling her parents, she looked at her parents in tears this is what you want right, mom Dad, I'll save my life and make my descendants free from such fate.
My mom, who was already in tears fell on her knees ; please Linda...you are my only child, I can't lose you please..
I looked up seeing her Dad already in tears as well, she moved towards her mom and hugged, blood mark stained her mom's clothes but no one cared. she suddenly felt weak and stumbled backwards making her mom worried, she cried Linda are you okay, I requested to go to my room, and my mom took me to my room, where I immediately fell asleep.
The next morning, I had already planned my journey on my trip to the forest without telling anyone not even my aunt. I prepared for school but my dad had made up his mind that I wasn't going to school, I wasn't pleased at his decision but I kept to myself.
I went to my aunt's room after breakfast, she was getting better but she said she had something important to tell me. I sat beside her bed and she said the moment I pushed her the other day..... the reason she screamed was because she saw a scary shadow spirit floating around me.
I was shocked cause I never realized this, suddenly I remembered seeing something like this in the mirror sometime ago but ignored it thinking I was seeing things.
I was now more scared but determined to make my way to the forest tonight. I asked my aunt about the reverse spell suddenly she brought out a box from under her bed, in the box were old pictures just like the ones I found in the basement.
I only have a part of the spell in this picture..... she suddenly brought out an old picture resembling that which I had with me, the other half of the spell was written in another picture but couldn't find it. I stood up and went straight to my room bringing out the pictures from under my bed and took them to my aunt.
She was surprised..... how did you get it Linda, I saw it in the basement and decided to keep it,
Linda:Aunt
Aunt: Yes
Linda: is this me (I asked while pointing to the picture).
Aunt:No, it's your great, great grandmother.
Linda:Ally huh
Aunt:yes, well this is the reverse spell and can only be done in the sacred tree which never dies in the forest.
I looked at it but couldn't understand it, I tried pronouncing it and didn't realize that I was actually saying the spell, my eyes lit up becoming clear white.
Aunt: Linda (surprised).
I snapped back to my senses, and stared at my aunt,
Linda: You need rest,
I took the pictures and left the room, I went to my room and realized my mom and dad had left the house, I immediately packed my stuffs into my bag and set off for my journey.
I walked alone into the large forest, I now realize the ash words of my father warning me never,to leave the wall of castride city, filled with rage and curiosity, I walked through the dark alleys of the forest to where no lights, buildings or whisper were found. I could barely see a thing in the thick darkness I walked alone rage was now quenched with fear, I turned back but couldn't find the road from which I came from. I tried looking for a road, which was there no more, after what felt like hours looking for the suddenly missing road. I decided to head off in the destination quite unknown, now lost, scared, and hopeless. "why did I leave" I said in the cold silence, letting the moon be my guide I walked in the never ending road, hopeless, hungry and tired I collapse on the cold ground and shut my eyes.
I was awoken by loud sounds coming from every directions, I was scared to even make a sound I stayed put with the sounds getting louder, "How did this happen" I whispered in fear as tears rolled down my cheeks.
Suddenly... the sound stopped, but not victory yet.... I took deep breaths as I heard loud footsteps coming my way I tried to run as fast as I could but the steps only became louder I looked back and screamed at the sight of...
