Chapter 2 - New Life, and New Opportunities

With the dark presence that once had control of me now out of my mind I could tell that I was no longer in the area where I was raised. This told me that I was now in the dark realm.

As I looked up at the night sky, I was expecting a clear and stary sky like I had grown up in; but I instead saw a dark red sky with purple clouds that would occasionally have bolts of red lightning come from them. If that was not crazy enough for me to believe that I was somewhere else I could also see that I was inside of a magical barrier that surrounded a dark castle.

When I looked at the castle, I felt like a child who was experiencing things for the first time.

This castle was made from a unique type of stone that seemed to instantly both clean and repair any type of damage that occurred on them. There was a massive door on the main floor of this castle. The door was at least twelve feet in height. It was made of a very sturdy wood, and was a double door that was in front of me.

Then the massive door opened and a saw a tall being with red skin, and on top of his head I saw a pair of massive curved horns. This told me that he was a demon of some kind. The clothing that he wore was a blood red magical robe, boots, and braces that had black gemstones inside of them.

"Welcome to my home. This will be your new house now that you are behind the dark veil.

Come follow me and I will show you to the room where you will be staying for the time being." The male demon said in a voice that I recognized. This was the voice of the dark god who had possessed my body only a short while ago.

I followed him since I really did not have a choice at this moment but to follow him into this new life, I had arrived at because of the cultists that were once my family.

The inside of the castle seemed more massive than the outside. I was speechless at the long hallways that had paintings of other male and female demons all dress in magical robes. On the wall to my left I saw the males on the left wall, and on the right wall I saw paintings of females. The females were not all demons. Some of them were humans, elves, and there were even a few fairies among them.

When I made it to the end of the hallway, I saw a painting of the demon that brought me to this castle, and on the female side of the hallway across from him there was no painting.

"Before you start to ask me, I did not except the contract to make you into some kind of slave that does not get to keep their freedom." He said to me as he stopped at the painting of him.

"Then what are you true intentions with me? Why do you demand that my people give you my body and soul?"

"I did that because I sensed that there was a great amount of untap potential locked deep inside you."

"That cannot be the only reason why you chose for owning me as your metheod of payment for the help that you gave my people".

"The other reason was to make you my wife eventually someday." He said to me as he turned around and looked deeply into my eyes.

The thought that a man would go to such lengths to simply get a bride made me feel uneasy, but as I began to think about it the negative feelings that came with it, they quickly left my mind, and they were replaced with feelings of vengeance.

"Durning your stay here I will have one of my high-ranking mages help you discover what type of magical abilities that you have access to. The possibilities are going to be vast, but you most likely are going to have affinity with a unique form of magic because if your heritage as a blood elf."

If becoming this dark god's wife could possibly lead to me get the power to slaughter the people who were so willing to sell by body and soul to a dark god to avoid battle then I will embrace this new opportunity that has been presented to me.

"Okay I will accept this offer if it will lead to me growing in power so that I can eventually break through the dark veil that separates me from my betrayers." I told him as I looked at the empty picture and I could imagine a picture of myself.

He started to move to a room that was to my left and I followed him into the next room.

"Now the first thing that I will need to do so that people will believe that this is official is hire some ladies to teach you how the females of this realm all act. Secondly, I will need to give you a dark name since your old name is now behind you."

As I walked into this room, I noticed that there was a massive set of red magical rings on the floor.

"Why are we in a room like this? What are these magical rings for?" I asked him because I was worried at the sight of dark red magical circles that surrounded me. It reminded me of my life with the blood elves.

"This is how we get from floor to floor in this castle. All you must do is picture where you want to go and you will show up on that floor."

After he said that to me, I became relaxed since I would have to trust him if I was going to become his wife and survive this new life that was in front of me.

"So first you need to picture a bed area that is at the end of a long and bright hallway with two pots of black roses in front of it. After you have that picture in your mind step into the center of the room and say transport."

I followed his instructions and pictured that area that he mentioned to me as soon as I made it to the center of the room. After that I was able to feel a dark aura surround me and I was teleported to the door of a room that he had described to me.

As I looked around the hallway, I noticed that the décor was a very dark theme and it somewhat reminded me of the tapestries that were surrounding me since my childhood.

"I do not know what to say." I told him as I made my way into the room and it looked quite like the house that I grew up in.

There was a long bed with scarlet red sheets and the bed frame was made from wood from the trees of the forest of blood. The trees from this forest were black with dark red veins in their wood. Against the right wall I saw a cabinet that had veils for blood inside of them. In the rear right corner, I saw a stand that had a glass display case that contained valuable white jewelry. The only window was covered with black curtain that made it where the light from the chandelier that was hanging from the ceiling more intense.

"Then I must first tell you my true name, and after that I will grant you your new name." he said to me as he walked into the room that I was going to be resting in.

I focused on what he was going to say to me next because the fact that he was going to give me a new name was a big deal since it would cause a rebirth under your new master. Most of the people that I had known that were renamed became very powerful after they were renamed.

"My true name is Carvis one of the twelve dark gods of the undead. Now your new name will be Syndrell. Now when it comes to you title as the wife of a dark god you will have to earn that." He said to me as he stood behind me.

After he spoke my new name, I could feel my strength increase inside of me. I noticed that the power that he spoke of inside of me felt more fluid as it coursed through me. I also noticed that I felt slightly taller and my chest felt heavier than before as if it had also grown.

"I thank you for this new name that you had given me. I will treasure it for all my life." I told Carvis as I bowed to him.

"Well, Syndrell I will leave you alone in the castle to explore the grounds, but whatever you do you are not enter into the dark room."

"Why would that be?" I asked him because my curiosity was getting the best of me.

"Just believe me when I say that you do not want to make your way to it that I am keeping your best interest in mind by asking you not to go there."

He then left me alone in my new room, and I chose to go to bed and leave the exploring of my new living area for tomorrow.

As soon as I got under the blankets, I felt my body collapse from exhaustion of how tired the day had made me.
