Azalea

Azalea the great witch.

That's how most people new her. The most feared, ruthless and witty young woman of 22 years of age. Living in the small village of Anami. The village far away from any evil wondering eyes that dare step foot to take over the small village. Azalea was born and raised in this small well-known village. Her mother was a witch and her father was indeed a wizard as well. Soon at the age of 10 Azalea would start training her witch skills and improve her mind and technical skills that would help her overcome trouble in the future. Trained by the ferocious and strong Chief of the village, Zephor, Azalea became the strongest female warrior witch, some would argue she was stronger than it not most then a small sum of her male counterparts.

.................................................................

I've been training my whole life, ever since my parents were killed by the evil and ugly witch of Somu far, far in the east of the village hills. She planned it and executed the massacre very well indeed, but she doesn't know what's coming for her. I have been doing my own planning, slowly but surely I will avenge my dear parents death, and I won't rest until their souls are in dire peace. Queen Zina that's her name, she calls herself queen because she believes she rules all the witch covens in the world. But the day will come when her empire will crumble to pieces until she has nothing and starts to beg for her life.

I'm quickly startled out of my daydream as my dear best friend approaches me from my line of sight. My dear best friend in the whole world. Carla. We have been best friends our whole lives, our parents were close friends and that is indeed how became close as children as well.

Not wasting anytime she tells me it's time for our lunch at the house. Now this house isn't just an ordinary house where a family lives, no, this is where almost all orphans live and eat and sleep and do whatever they want including training and stuff.

...............................................................

Now my dear readers this is where the short and exhilarating story begins.

Azalea began plotting her upcoming revenge a year after her parents where brutally massacred by the so called queen.

She and her best friend worked together to figure out an amazing plan that could lure the evil queen to come out of her castle where the two best friends could catch and attack her savagely.

Since Carla wasn't that well trained and wasn't fit enough to take over combat skills. She worked with mostly magic and Azalea was more of a girl with her own skill set.

Days passed and soon those turned into weeks and those turned into months but Azalea and Carla were still training immensely and non stop. They heard all about the queen and how her minions of guards could kill anyone with a snap of a finger,but this did not deter Azalea it only motivated her to train harder because she knew that outcome would make her dear parents proud wherever the gods took them.

Witches in this village didn't use their magic and wands that much, they only used them when they were in grave danger, which they mostly weren't.

The day arrived when Carla and Azalea would soon travel alone to the mountain hills where they would torment and attack the queen and take her down. They soon decided they would go without anyone knowing and any of the Masters of the house wouldn't allow them to go on such a dangerous journey.

Together they decided to use the element of surprise on Zina as this would distract her an. Carla would use her magic to Greece and paralyze her and they would send her to the place of Oblivion.

But first they had to go through the gazillions of guards the evil wench had

Climbing through the hills of Somu, Azalea reminisced with her dear friend of all the things they did together, they talked together while also keeping their serious fascard on. They needed to concentrate and win against Zina, no distractions no disruptions no nothit jus Carla and Azalea vs Zina.

Minutes passed and they soon arrived at the creepy and eerie silent castle. Azalea even thought it was some undertaker's house when she was a child.

But their was no time for thinking such irrelevant thoughts at such a time they needed to eliminate Zina immediately. She had waited for way too long for this moment.

They were set and ready to take down the evil and malicious queen of Somu, Zina.

....................................................................

Azalea and I reached the backed door entrance of the castle with loud thumping hearts beating against our chests. I had to admit, I was afraid and scared I felt like child doing the wrong and unknown thing.

But no I had to remind myself that this all, was for my parents who deserved justice.

Zina has been living her life in bliss while I had to suffer and live with the unbearable pain she caused me all those years ago.

Alas the time has come for the great evil Queen's doom.

When we entered we came face to face with the castle guards and I thought this is going to be fun.....

.....................................................................

Carla and Azalea fought with bravery against the guards and won. Victory tasted good so far. Now the final destination was the queen. They soon headed for her chamber.

....................................................................

We arrived at the Queen's chamber and I expected to be met with screeching noise and magic flying around everywhere, but we were met with silence. Dead silence, the queen's chamber was clean and no indication that there ever lived a person in it.

Carla and I glanced at each other in shock, and slightly frightened faces.

We thought the same thing.

THE QUEEN HAD ESCAPED.

..................................................................

Azalea and Carla couldn't get over the loss and disappearance of Zina, but one thing was for sure the queen was one conniving and smart woman and the two best friends vowed that they would find Zina sooner rather than later, one way or another, but first they had to go back to the house and eat dinner.
