Chương 52: The King of Oni's, Shuten Doji(4)

"...Run Away...."

I tried to scream, my voice caught in my throat as two young men approached me, completely oblivious to my warning.

In the dimly lit ruins of the room, adorned with ancient tapestries and crumbling statues, I struggled to find my voice. But the curse that had befallen me held me captive, rendering me powerless.

'Don't come here.'

I tried to scream but my voice wouldn't come out.

This damn curse!

As my body rose against my will from the imposing throne, a surge of resistance coursed through me. I fought desperately to regain control, to resist the foreign power that commanded my every move.

But my pleas for escape fell on deaf ears, trapped within the confines of my own despair. This situation was all too familiar, yet it remained a torment I could never grow accustomed to.

'No, not these kids...run away!'

I tried to scream once again but as usual no voice came out pushing me to the ends of despair.
