The Lady In the Lake ( Part 2)

My rage took over as I formed a spear of ice and slowly let it drive itself into his heart, Lucian screamed in horror at the process in which his friend would die by. I turned toward these two strangers and stared at their bewildered and pale faces, I spoke and they listened intently, “if I find out you are in anyway a part of this you will suffer pain purely unimaginable”. Giving them the benefit of the doubt I asked them “are you” they replied no, I asked them again with the answer. I probed their minds and found out their names and all sort of dark secrets such as them being the buyer’s of these woman’s. I quickly froze their legs and let them bicker amongst themselves about how they were wrong. I walked toward the women’s and asked “What should be of these mans who held you and of those who were to be your masters”. They all stared at each other but one spoke and said do what you must but set us free. I abided to their wishes and unfastened their chains; she stared at me bewildered and said no we want to be set free from body and soul. I looked towards the other and said do you truly want this do you let this woman speak for you, all replied but one word in unison “yes” all but one I let her go freely. I asked the others what about their families their loved ones. Some replied and said what family all were killed by these men and their guild; they split the entire woman in our village into groups of 7 and took them into different regions to be sold. We have endured hardships and all we want is peace certainly a god of your caliber can grant that to us. I gave them the quickest and beautiful death that such courageous woman like these deserved I froze their entire bodies without letting them feel any pain or cold then I shattered their bodies into the wind and let them float into horizon as precious crystals.
