After dining, most of the priestesses went to their chambers to rest for the night. Meanwhile Castitas and her Master discuss current events in the main hail of the Temple. "He flicked me! Not in an attempt to harm me, but to humiliate me! Arg! If I ever see his stupid face again... " Castitas punches the air in front of her. The High-Priest merely shook his head. "Repress your thoughts before the hatred corrupts your mind and sends you into the abyss. He may have acted harshly but that doesn't give you the right to as well."
"He was about to attack an innocent! Surely the Gods wouldn't mind if he had a bruised eye or a broken nose..."
"Enough, Castitas, the others are deep in slumber and you should be too."
The young girl sighed. "Yes, Master..."
Castitas sulked towards her bedchambers, planning to pray before she could finally rest herself.
The High-Priest, aware of the events that were about to happen next, stepped outside into the moonlight, looking into it's gaze. "You have yet to accomplish if you wish to defeat her, Shadow..." He whispered to the moon, knowing that 'it' was listening.
Moments pass as a storm rumbles in the distance, soon shrouding La Luz Fortaleza and the surrounding land. The rumble had sounded similar to dark laughter. Castitas, startled by the sudden growls in the air, paused her prayers for her to look outside, seeing the High-Priest.
From a distance, hoofs pounded the ground, giving a sound that could outmatch thunder. A large stampede of ox marked with white war paint was approaching, being ridden by savages with similar symbols painted on their flesh. The howled as the rammed up against the city gates, soon destroying them. The barbaric raiders rampaged though the city, killing civilians, setting buildings on fire, all of them eventually heading towards the temple. There were hundreds, maybe thousands of these strange people, all lead by one woman who rode with one of their warriors, stopping to where the High-Priest stood. The leader stared into his eyes, with it's own, cold and lifeless. She pulled out her dagger, swiftly thrusting it into the High-Priests heart. "This will bring the pretty bug out from hiding." The woman smiled, her teeth stained red from the blood that had splattered.
Castitas, who had been watching from her window, couldn't believe what she saw, her heart stopping.
"Master!" She called out, catching the attention from the woman who had attacked him. She nodded to her followers, not breaking eye contact from the young Priestess. "Get her!" The savages wrecked havoc through the Temple's halls, awakening the other priestesses. One of the youngest, hid under her bed, seeing her sisters torn apart from beneath her bed. She pulled her blonde hair back as she crawled from where she hid. After hearing Castitas scream, she swiftly snuck out from her window like she used to when playing with her fellow priestesses, dashing to the stables to steal a horse. She rode off towards the next kingdom, praying that she would make it in time to acquire help.
After her journey, the blonde haired girl dashed up the Palace steps with no time to explain to the guards as she skid past them, bursting through the large doors. "Help!-" She let out a strangled gasp. "Evil... killed Master... Save- her..." She collapsed dead onto the hard floor.
