Chapter 9
Somewhere separate from all the hustle and bustle of technology in a small valley stood a manor that exuded solemnity. There was a clear lake that reflected the moonlight clearly as if it was a pristine, mirror just a few meters to the left of the manor.
The greenery around it was almost untouched giving it the primal feel of the world outside the wall where beasts roam about freely and a human would be devoured in a second without being cautious at all times.
Inside one of the main rooms decked exquisitely with luxurious goods, sat a strong man with a neat trim and ruggedly handsome middle aged man.
He was wearing a red trainers suit that hugged his muscular physique perfectly, with a black book covered by leather like material in his hand and a young girl about 11 or 12 years old in his other.
"But daddy!" the little girl complained with her feet dangling off of his.
She was a standard sweet girl with a child's innocence, soft hazel skin and puffy cheeks that made ones heart meld and just want to pinch.
"Sigh... Testamona, is that something you really need? Besides, that's something usually for boys..." The lass had seen one of her playmates come over riding on a Nether Horse and she wanted one as well, after all, it was a boy she liked and she figured they'd look like a couple...
"But daddy, I really want one..." she started wriggling around and acting cute but her voice was unusually clear for someone her age.
The man tried persuading her for a while more and finally relented, it was said:
'A disciplined daughter is a fathers joy and a pampered one a fathers bane' - African Proverb
"Thank you, daddy!" The little girl ecstatically kissed him on the cheek.
"MMN. Go rest now, it's late and you have school tomorrow" the father said as he watched his daughter run away.
He closed the door with the wave of his hand as a formless energy clung to the door and closed it.
"Sigh... Herlanda, you have left me with a troublesome daughter and went on earlier" the mans eyes turned even gentler as he thought of his late wife but they immediately hardened as he looked at the black book.
He opened it and there were all kind of information contained within about shoddy transactions as well as blackmail information. All of this valuable information that will cost very high ranking individuals to fall in to troubled waters and outright destroy them was actually kept in such an easily accessible hardcover.
He didn't trust technology all that much even with so many promises of security because there was always a higher mountain.
He trusted what he could keep an eye on rather than what he couldn't, that's how his family became the 3rd strongest in murk city.
He was Henk Ardvious, the leader of his clan and they sold information, a neutral party, but he straight up went against an information brokers code. Either he used the info to get the product for his own, black mailed or involved himself in a lot of unethical deals.
Where as true info broker always steered clear of trouble and only sold to interested parties, this earned him quite a few enemies, one of which killed his wife but whom he had no clear clue of until a few hours back and he was precisely going to deal with them.
Testamonas laughter stopped some ways away from her father as she walked through the corridor to her room with an ever present sweet smile.
She just sat on her bed with that same sweet smile for almost an entire hour, she did not turn even a little not even to scratch the sudden itch that comes when you try to sit still.
She was like a mannequin.
She then stood up and strode straight to her dresser after which she opened a secret compartment after pushing her clothes away and took out a colourless liquid tube.
She then hid it in her dress after admiring how it looked, after which see operated her pinkish white smart watch and send out a group message, "30 minutes. Spot"
She then called her maid, "Jul! I'd like a glass of juice before I sleep. Please bring it to my room"
"Understood, young lady the voice immediately answered on the other side.
The little lass walked toward her dresser and stood in front of it with that everlasting happy smile.
Juls knocked and brought a cup of Soothing Red to her, a luxurious juice that came from a red plant called the Soothing Flower that had the effect of doing it's name justice.
Juls admired the little lass greatly, she had just escaped death with her mother stabbed to death and she herself beaten within an inch of death.
Her father ran when he saw them both dead but luckily she hadn't died and only had a near death experience but she would die if she didn't get help soon.
She dragged her bloodied and broken body down the street incoherently muttering for help as she crawled but no one helped her. Every one had problems of their own and no one had the time or money to help you in the slums.
She crawled with whatever strength she could muster and finally reached the highway but no one still stopped.
'Perhaps someone will stop if I move in front of a car. May the angels bless me...' he body moved purely instinctively at this point until she blacked out.
She found that she was in the best medical facility 3 months after waking from her coma and that's when she saw this angel in human form sitting next to her and holding her hand with that ever present angelic smile.
That was when she decided to devout her life to the little girl that was only 3 or 4 years younger than her with it being six months to date now.

Juls struggled to open her eyes as she heard the sounds of snapped twigs and something heavy being pulled across the ground
'What's going on? What happened?'she asked herself as the world spun with a major headache.
She tried recalling 'I brought little missy a cup of juice before he bed and then I went to the kitchen... ? no something isn't right, I don't remember leaving the room..' Juls tried her hardest to make sense of what happened when terror struck her
'The little missy gave me the juice she couldn't finish and then I blacked out after drinking some... Is the young miss ok?!' she started struggling visibly struggling but she found her hands and feet were tied up.
"Oh your awake? I wanted you to sleep a bit more that way you won't feel needless terror" a voice she was all to familiar with spoke.
"Young missy?" Juls struggled to look up and saw her lady with a thick rope dragging her still with that everlasting smile and froze.
Juls may not have gotten a proper education but she was not naive, she felt death before and that feeling had come back like a beast with an open maw looking for the prey it missed.
'My life is in danger! Little missy is trying to kill me but why' she struggled even more
"Oh it's no use struggling, the juice I gave you had a neuro-agent that temporarily partially paralyses the nerves I'm quite surprised to see you being able to move but don't worry it'll soon be over"
This sweet girl continued to drag Juls until she reached a hidden cave that hid in a hologram of an unusually thick tree.
"Now let's get prepared, the others will be here in about 5 minutes and you will look even more beautiful than you are, eternally beautiful" this words sent shivering terrors down Juls spine.
'Is this this little girls true form?'
