"Yes my lady. Her hair didn't change into snakes, instead she's controlling snakes from miles away and bringing them into the east wing" The attendant replied.
Yukio stood thinking. What should they do? It was impossible to help someone when you had no knowledge of what was going on.
"What do we do my lady?" The attendant asked.
"We have to wait till she rings the bell" Yukio paused "If she doesn't then we wake the first"
"The first?" The attendant asked shocked. She couldn't believe her ears.
"I know how it sounds but we've got no choice" Yukio replied with a stern face. She stood in front of Rudina's room waiting for her to ring the bell.
Rudina screamed, begging. She felt like she was dying but at the same time she wasn't.
She felt her skin fall off as she scratched her body. It was like she was being pierced with a thousand needles. She also felt like she was burning.
What was going on?
For the first time in her life Rudina begged death to take care. She didn't care if she had to die, she couldn't bear this pain anymore.
She heard someone talking outside her door. It was a very familiar voice.
"Yukio sama!"Rudina screamed with all her strength.
Yukio stopped talking immediately. She stared at Rudinas door surprised.
"Yukio-Sama! Please help me" Rudina whispered.
"Rudina…" Yukio called sadly.
"My lady!" The attendant called fearfully "You can't do that!"
"I know" Yukio said. It was wrong for the one in charge to help the one suffering. They were supposed to come out of their pain with no one's help or they die with it.
"But I didn't call her she called me first"
It was impossible for anyone who was going through that pain to hear what was going on outside but Rudina could. Yukio saw it as a chance to help because she could hear through that pain.
She knew what she was about to do was wrong and it was gonna get her a holy trail but she didn't care. She couldn't watch another innocent child die all in the name of making them "Leto"
"Hey, ring the bell" Yukio whispered to Rudina.
"My lady if the ones up hear of this you'll be getting a holy trail" The attendant said in fear. She knew how merciless the ones up were and she didn't want her lady, Yukio, to get punished by them.
"Shhhh!" Yukio whispered
"But my lady…"
Yukio turned abruptly with her eyes white, she looked directly into her attendants eyes and whispered "You know nothing about this"
The attendants eyes also turned white and she whispered repeating what Yukio had said "I know nothing about this"
She bowed and she left Yukio alone.
"I'm so sorry Aisha but you wouldn't shut up and I had to do something about it" Yukio whispered as she watched the attendant leave.
She gave her checks a soft slap when she remembered Rudina was more important than anything at the moment.
"Ring the bell" she whispered again.
Rudina turned around on her bed looking for the bell as she scratched her skin away. Where had she put it? She remembered placing it behind her pillow but she couldn't find it there.
In annoyance and fear that she would scratch her body forever Rudina threw and her pillow to the ground screaming.
A tale has been told from time past. No one who stepped into the garden of Leto had been able to come out alive but after her family was attacked, Rudina along with her friends left with nowhere to escape, ventured into the garden and there, they stumbled upon a shrine where they got separated. No one had ever seen the goddess of Leto and Rudina had no idea she would be in line to be the next goddess. After years of training, she comes out stronger and fully ready to save her people. But then, she meets someone who the previous goddess requested she meet.
Along with her friends, she would find the truth behind why her cousin was present the day her father died and why those behind his death knew the secret passage.
