Chapter 8: Imprisonment

Back at Gelebron' s tower he was preparing to finally meet Miiah face to

face. If she won’t agree to rule by his side then he will lock her up for as long as it would take till she would finally see that she had no other choice than to accept him. She was finally here but still asleep on a large bed in his room. Will she share it with him when she wakes up or will she choose imprisonment?

- Wake her up Demonizer. No point in prolonging the inevitable. Her answer will be the same either if she wakes up now or tomorrow. Wake her up and let' s hear her speak!

Demonizer mumbled some incantation and then Miiah woke up.-Where am I? Who are you?

-You are in my palace, in my kingdom, in Arcania, far from your friends and from your husband. I am the ruler of this land, I am Gelebron and you shall be my wife till the end of your days!

- It looks like someone is in a hurry but shouldn’t I have a saying in all these? I don’t know you and besides, you are not my type. I happen to know someone who would fit you better if you overlook the fact that she is a troll. She can be very loving, her name is Snorri, I can introduce you to her. I will even send you a wedding gift! Said Miiah not losing her courage even in the dire situation she found herself in.

- How dare you mock me? Roared Gelebron blood dripping from the back of his palms as he had his nails in them and he was out of control at hearing Miiah' s answer. Demonizer on the other hand was giggling silently to himself at hearing the brave lady' s answer.

- Wrong answer Miiah. Lock her up Demonizer till she comes to her senses! Demonizer grabbed poor Miiah by her wrists and locked her up in one of the rooms of the tower and left her there alone in the semidarkness. He then placed a Neon Knight to constantly guard her door. The Neon Knight

was a heartless soldier who had lost his way during his life and had been resurrected by the demon Demonizer for the sole purpose of obeying his every command. The Neon Knight had no will of his own, after the resurrection he was a mere puppet in Demonizer' s hands this making him incorruptible and so trustworthy. So the Neon Knight was perfect for the job: incorruptible, strong and with no will of his own. When she found herself all alone in the small room with but a little furniture and a small bed Miiah began to weep. She cried herself to sleep that night sobbing even while dreaming. She couldn’t believe how fast things could go so wrong. From the day which was supposed to be the happiest of her life to being kidnapped and now locked up in Gelebron' s tower. Why? All she wanted was to live the rest of her life with her love, Scar, and instead she was locked in in this desolate tower all alone with the Neon Knight guarding the only exit.

The Neon Knight’ s eyes were shining in the darkness like two embers. It

gave him an eerie look. He was standing by Miiah’ s door, unmoved, never getting exhausted, never needing sleep or drink or food, the perfect sentinel to guard her. She had no way to escape, her only hope being Scar and his friends to come and save her. She was determined to wait for him no matter how long it took. Gelebron would never have her. She would rather jump out the window than let him have her. But she was sure Scar was already making preparations for an expedition to save her. She was sure of his love and devotion to her, she was sure he would come and save her and defeat the evil Gelebron.

- Can you believe this Demonizer? She would rather suffer solitude and darkness than accept me! Me, the greatest ruler of Arcania! How can this be? Stubborn and stupid! But let' s see how long she can go on like this. You will go once a day and ask her if she is ready to accept me till you get the right answer, understood?

- Yes, my lord. He grumbled something to himself then he left the room.
