only for him.

He looked up and saw Mother hover over him like a giant. She smirked and pulled the dark magic from the orb that was behind her. It was red, and moving all around her hand, it looked like lava almost. The blacksuits held his arms. She smiled one last time as she inserted the dark magic right into his heart. The lights started to flicker and he started to scream. His body looked like it was melting for a second but rebuilt. His whole body turned into the same color as the magic before he finally collapsed and fell to the ground. His body twitched and went back to normal for the most part. His hands and chest were still dark magic colored. The lights went back to normal and two of the blacksuits took him out of the room, never to be seen again. The horror killed me. All I could picture was the screaming and pain of his body changing and simply dying.

I think my eyes were dead like everyone else because Mother glanced at me and smirked and simply put her hands together in delight. Everything felt weird now, there was no way to put it.

I think I died inside.

After a silent moment, the blacksuits came back in with nobody in their hands.

“Get the next prisoner.” Mother said, looking at me the whole time with her infected eyes. I would have to watch this so many times and could I even survive just looking at it? No. I couldn’t, but I had to. Something compelled me to watch. As the next prisoner was being taken out, I slowly started to feel nothing.

***

10 people have already been infested with the dark magic, only a few requested death and Mother surprisingly obliged. The death was instead the blacksuits pulling out weapons with dark magic and beheading them like a guillotine. I felt so much shock and horror. I’m slowly starting to feel nothing anymore after the last few people that went and became a servant to this Mother of mine. All I really did at this next person was look as if I was watching something naturally. I could still feel their pain deep down inside. Mother didn’t seem too pleased with it. I’m sure she wanted me to suffer, which I already had enough. Perhaps she wanted me to be one of her slaves, but since I’m her daughter I would probably get worse treatment if she lets me stay in the Palace. I think requesting death is better. I left my thoughts for a moment as I heard loudly a few more screams and pains were heard as the dark magic orb was slowly running out. I watched it like an hourglass, but it would last for days.

Mother must have had enough because she glared at me and stopped the blacksuits from getting the few people from the second cage.

“Halt. I think my dear daughter has seen enough, I think it is her turn and she can suffer LESS.” Said she in a sarcastic tone. The two blacksuits looked at each other and nodded. My cage was being brought down to the ground. I felt no emotion but a slight sense of nervousness. Maybe it was because I was going to be in front of my Mother after some time. I would look into those eyes that I never knew were truly evil. Should I even try to see those true, innocent eyes behind her? Is it really going to be worth it? After all I’ve seen, would it even matter?

No. She already made you suffer enough. I know you will hate her forever, Lyrosa. There’s really no going back now.

I felt so hopeless at this point like always. This was another emotion I started to feel as the cage touched the floor. The floor of the damned. The blacksuits opened the cage and the blacksuits grabbed my arms tightly. I endured the pain but Evelyn was holding my arm too. I looked back at her as she looked at me in all sadness.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine,” I said. Her grip slowly loosened. The blacksuits took me out of the cage, revealing all the space I wanted. The room was bigger than from up high. This is the basement, chamber, killing place.

I looked in front of me. I was a few steps away from this Queen. My legs started to tremble and wobble the closer I got to her. It’s like I could feel her evil intentions and magic now, just like the light.

I didn’t realize it but I was now standing in front of her. There she was. Standing in front of me. Now I await my punishment.

“Look at you. You’re nothing but an ugly and low-class looking daughter who betrayed me.” Mother said. She shifted her eyes toward the cages in front of me. They were so much smaller. The prisoners started to laugh and even though I know they didn’t think it was funny, I still felt embarrassment.

“I’m sure you just want to die.”

With those last three words, her eyes turned to the normal color that they really are. I could see sparkles around them when they switched. Is that magic? Is it dark? Delzen?

Is it a mask?

I suddenly felt determined to see if I could get that invisible mask off of her, or at least I hope that is the mask. I felt like I should play along to what she wants me to say.

“Yes. End it.”

Mother furrowed her brow but grinned after it. She laughed and put her finger on my nose to show that she was mocking me.

“How do you feel?”

“Nothing. Nothing at all.”

“You don’t seem too worried.”
“No. After all I’ve seen, just do it. You know you want me to be your little slave.”

Mother squinted her eyes at me in pure disgust as if I offended her. It was my intention to do so, but I didn’t think she would fully notice.

“Enough talk! I will commence with the inflicting of Lyrosa Iprellanan, betraying daughter of mine.”

“Wait.”

Mother looked at me.

“Mask.”

“What?”
“Mask.”

The sparkles from her face showed up again for a split second.

“Enough.” One of the blacksuits said. I didn’t respond but I waited for my chance.

When she turned around, I quickly ran and jumped on her back, clawing my nails into what I hope for was around her eyes. She screamed and was running all over the place faster than I thought. It made the blacksuits surprised and it made it more difficult for them to get me.

I felt some type of material around her, just like the mask I wore. I felt it leaving her eyes as I pulled harder. The people in the cage start cheering me on as if it turned into some type of battlefield. It raised my confidence quite a bit.

As the so-called-mask was about to come off her face, she stopped and grabbed my hands, digging her own nails into my own hands. It was only ten seconds before that this was all happening, and I’m not going to let her stop me like this. As if it felt like it came off, the blacksuits grabbed me and put handcuffs on me, forcing me to take a few steps back from Mother. She was on her knees facing the opposite of me. Her hands were over her face. It went silent.

“Queen Iprellanan?” One of the blacksuits said from the other side of the room. He walked up to her and she pushed him out of the way. She turned around and I had failed at taking off the mask, but she had small amounts of blood around that area.

“YOU.” She sneered, looking at me intensely as if she revealed her truest evil form yet. I felt a bit nervous but at the same time, I wasn’t scared.

“IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO DIE. NO MORE. YOU DON’T DESERVE TO EVEN BE ALIVE!”

My heart dropped at the thought of death, especially if it’s my own Mother, evil or not. The blacksuits pushed me to the front of the room. I looked up at Evelyn, who was giving a crooked smile. She was crying, but I think she’s happy that I’m not afraid to face people like that. I give her a quick smile. As I turn my head, I saw Mother forcing out big amounts of dark magic from the orb in the corner of my eye.
