Chapter 31 - The Burning Darkness

"Well, we have managed to plunge them into darkness and I thing this will give me the time I need to make the last preparations but first I have to notify the snake god's people of the absence of the dark queen from the forest!" she says hovering on top of the dark forest's barrier. 

Wrath growls in response to Gwanhoya. Her face does not change and remains blank. She waves her hand and the leader of the Nyami people's hologram appears in front of him. 

Looking at Gwanhoya he does not waist time to ask, "What do you want demon?"

"The reason why your people are dead is because the queen of the dark forest refused to give you back the object that could have saved your people and now, I come to you with a proposition!" 

"And what is this proposition?" he asks. 

"The way into the dark forest!" 

He seems interested and she smiles seeing this, "So, what is in it for you demon?" he asks to hear what she desires. 

"Not much really! Just that you kill each and every witch that resides in here!" she speaks on what she wants. 

"It would take us days to get there and by then she will have returned and it will be impossible to even break in and after what happened last time, she will not even take a second to listen or let her guard down!" 

"You have me! You don't have to travel for days. I will open a portal for you to this place and then open the barrier for you so you can do as you please with them!" 

"Let me gather my armies and prepare." 

Gwanhoya smiles, "Good!" she turns to look at Wrath, "I will handle things here, now go and do the same to the white witch's forest!" 

He growls nodding, turns and jumps to leave for the white forest. 

"Well, now I am left with those two to do my bidding and I am sure it will be a pretty interesting moment. Even though you are a traitor, I thank you Astaroth for reviving them for me!" a smug appears on her face, "I guess this is the beginning of the end!" 

She opens the portal for the army to come through. And there it is a large army coming through being led by Nyami-Nyami's prophet Shato. 

"Welcome, Shato and your army" 

"Gwanhoya!"

She smiles and faces the barricade, "Well, let us not waste time of pleasantries and get right to the task at hand now, shall we?"

"After you!" 

"Alright then, get your armies ready!" 

She spreads presses her stomach with her hands and belches black smoke out of herself. And she throws up lava from her mouth and it burns through the barrier opening a huge hole on it. 

"Now is our chance!" Shato cries out loud to his army. 

The whole army charges into Dhoramu shaking the very earth. 

"Thank you!" Shato shows gratitude to Gwanhoya. 

"No need to thank me! I am also doing this for my personal agenda!" she departs through a portal immediately after saying this to him. 

Reappears outside the barrier of Alabaster Weald with Wrath already there waiting for her. 

"Well, Well my boy! Let us knock loud since the queen is not here busy following her child!"

He steps back as Gwanhoya gets closer to the barrier, "The same trick I used at the dark forest will not work on this one!" she cogitates on how to enter into the forest, "Well, I guess I have to try a lot of ways!"

At Gwanhoya's Cave

Genteel arrives at the cave in pursuit of the darkness being emitted by Mukura and looks at the wreckage she left behind her. 

"What is this place? She can feel an even stronger darkness surrounding her, "What was happening here?" she begins to back away looking at the destroyed cave and continues to trail her daughter. 

At Dhoramu

Mukura arrives at the dark forest and finds the huge opening still there and enters the Dark forest. She screams loud enough to shake the whole forest and stop them all from fighting. She advances slowly deeper into the dark forest. 

"Pardon me for not caring about your battle but where is the demon that is known as Gwanhoya?" she asks them all, "And don't you dare try say that you do not know where she is because I can smell her stench all over this place!" she warns them. 

None of them answer her and this increases her rage, "Since no one wants to talk, I think I will just have to kill all of you because you are all useless to me!" she throws her hand to the front and a strong wind enters into the dark forest carrying everything and everyone killing them. She leaves the forest and the barrier closes behind her. 

She waits for a moment searching for where Gwanhoya might have gone to. The darkness inside her burns more than anything and her rage has set her on the path for revenge. 

At Alabaster Weald

"There is one trick left, Wrath and in order for me to use it. I need to re-obtain the human form of the human I possessed so that I can use the power!" 

She begins chanting going backwards and the skin begins healing starting to look like a normal human being. 

"This body feels comfortable in any form!" she exalts it with a smile on her face, "Now, let us continue." She walks closer to the barrier and places her left hand on it and looks up in the sky, "And then the fire of the gods descends and strikes thy wall and creates a gate way for me!"

Lightning strikes the barrier erasing the barrier, "Well, my servant! You have another blood bath to take!" she says looking at the crumbling barrier getting erased.

Wrath prepares to go into the enchanted forest to kill the residence. 

"Oh, and remember, not all the residents in this forest are witches. Some of them are you humans!" she pauses with a sympathetic look on her face as if she cares for them, "Just means you should have more fun killing them all!" she disappears leaving him to kill them all on his own.

Exhaling fire from his nose, he charges into the enchanted forest and starts slaughtering its residents. 

Gurudza at the distance searching for Gwanhoya feels the malice being cause by wrath and follows the direction to the enchanted forest quickly. 

Wrath at this point has just killed a few people in Alabaster Weald and he feels a menacing corrupt power getting closer to his location and he stops waiting for it to come closer to him so he can face it and excitement of fighting a worthy opponent takes a grip of him. 

A black lightning descends and Wrath jumps to the side dodging it. With a smile on his disfigured face. He inhales in deeply waiting for his attacker to show holding the air in. Gurudza appears right behind him and he quickly turns and blows fire out of his mouth.

Gurudza caught off guard by the fire is burnt by Wrath to a crisp on the spot. A success and relief blow on Wrath for a successful rout defeating the demigod. He turns to return to his mission.

"Where do you think you are going, beast!" Gurudza's voice echoes from everywhere and Wrath looks up in the sky searching for the person who is talking. 

The burnt-out body he had successfully countered slowly disappears into thin air, "I am pretty sure I would enjoy fighting you minion but," he descends from the sky landing on his knee, "I have no time for you right now!"

Wrath jumps directly at him with his two hands in lifted up and ready to smash. Getting closer, Gurudza slowly turns into black lightning and as soon as Wrath is about to smash him, he dodges and quickly materialises beside him and punch him breaking the rib cage. Reaches for the heart the heart and rips it out of him.

"Really should have just listened to me and gave up where your master is!" 

A loud bang originates from the sky and something appears to have landed nearby. But it is not Gwanhoya so Gurudza continues deep into the forest and begins questioning the residents.

 

At Dhoramu

Genteel appears at the scene and finds Mukura gone and the barrier into the dark forest restored but the foreboding power she is feeling right now inside the dark forest is Mukura's. In her mind she is still inside the dark forest. But how can she get inside to stop her from killing all those people?

She sets herself down and crosses her legs and holds her thighs and meditates. She meditates for hours during the night and Garamba comes from behind her and shakes her and she startles getting up. 

"What are you doing?" Garamba asks Genteel. 

"You are here? Garamba. Thank goodness, I need you to open the barrier or else you will have no more people to rule over!" she cautions her.

She moves to the barrier, "What are you talking about?" she asks getting closer to the barrier and the screams of her people becoming audible. 

"What is going on here, Genteel?" she is confused and frightened, "I said what is going on?"

"Garamba, you need to open the barrier right now. My daughter is in there and if you do not open the barrier, she will kill all of them!"

Garamba waves her hand opening a path through the barrier and both of them rush in and upon entry Garamba is caught into the poison and start chocking in it too. Genteel remains in the pathway.
