*In Thayde Kingdom, 11/26 one hundred years later*
 
A huge demon... and even fired shots at it won't even kill it, it only seems to regenerate from the wounds it receives...
A soldier from Thayde said. Well don't just stand there, do something about this demon, it's destroying the city! The general
ordered.
 
*The demon grabs the general and a few troops, biting off the heads of them and swallowing them whole*
 
Cowardly fear... We're all gonna lose our lives now...
 
 
  THE MAIDEN'S FLAME
  CASE NUMBER: 4040567257
  NEDRA K DARK (THE SHATTERING DEMON)
 
Tanya and James are now dead, and since James's corpse has been used as a poison bomb to kill Natalie Sahl, there is
no way that I am able to revive him, and John has put blood on the floor that's gonna have to be cleaned up... Tara said.
 
A alliance is a alliance Tara, we lost Admiral Aveila because of this political tool, and where it lies now is unknown, but
whoever gets this tool can use it for unspeakable power, consider it like the power of a titan that you can see that towers
above a castle, it's strong enough to put a kingdom in ruins, but if you look at it, it's powerful, but we don't want you to
take the risks that Admiral Aveila took, she lost her sanity in taking a chance in finding it, and ultimately this was the result,
now that we have power on. Karalyn told Tara.
 
But look now, after the power is fixed in Maria's repair depot, we now witness the death of a undead woman and a person who was
bound in a hospital bed due to a attack, but ended up dying, it is sad indeed, but only to warn you, the tool you are seeking in
that sanctuary earlier that Admiral Aveila went looking into was actually a fake. Mahanrak told Tara.
 
If I were you, it would be best to destroy that tool and make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands Tara, if anyone by any
means gets a finger on that tool, I will be willing to petrify them and shatter their remains to keep our reputation and our
lives safe. Sage Cignetti said.
 
Now, Sage Calclic, that's murder. We can't commit murder unless the reason is legitimate, do that and you risk spending the rest
of your life incarcerated or being stripped of your immortality, I only offered you a contract to be a guardian for someone, not
to be a murderer, and in return for the work, you would be granted immortal life. Maria told Calclic.
 
Well, that leads to the least of the matters now, it's now been a hundred years, and Nataliya is spending time with her matriarch
mother and the baron, so I had sent over Daria and her trainer to go and visit her, and they will eventually give me a response
to how she is healing up with her infection that caused her illness. But forgetting the matter now, we now have a new case, this
time it involves a mortal human, who can transform into a immortal demon who can regenerate her body at a big size, and the damage
she can do is big enough, witnesses and a few of my own people have known this demon to be "Nedra K Dark" who her alias goes by as
"The Shattering Demon", and the demon who gains constant regeneration for every injury she gets uses it for her own gain, and she
by every means can also do by far the most disgraceful thing in my eyes that I can ever see, grab her victims and bite their own
heads off, and by biting the heads off of the victims, it renders the victim unable to be hospitalized, as the head cannot be put
back on nor can the person live unless a human resurrection is made, and it is a waste of Goddess Maria's time for her to demand
payment to return the dead back to life, as it is by far difficult to revive someone successfully, and in most cases the consequence
for your payment can be death or shortening of your lifespan, and what you receive for the contracted agreement of resurrection, you
agree to pay a portion of your lifespan or death in order to get someone back from the dead, and what you get from the goddess who you
ask or demand from, a undead corpse that can be living, however, won't die from disease, can't be poisoned, and the undead corpse could
live for long periods of time. Tara said.
 
Then this was the case for John, in the past years, he did a human resurrection when Daria killed his daughter, and he shortened his life because
of the murder of his daughter, and now his daughter is dead a hundred years ago, after the power was shut off, she had killed his daughter and he
seems to be distraught in Maria's prison for the past cases, and I would be best to keep him locked away, as he'll go to get any weapon to kill himself
as his daughter was murdered, and Goddess Maria wants to allow her to get away with Aveila's death. Evelyn told Tara.
 
Well, this brings us to a caselister that would require John's blade, as I remember that the blade that we locked away holds the key to destroying the ability
of regeneration of Nedra's, she will by any means bite the heads of her victims off, and not only do that, but she'll destroy buildings and crush innocents, so
far her kills that she has made in that monstrosity form of hers has been in the hundreds range, and she so far has digested about four hundred of those bodies
while killing the rest in her demonic form, the only way we can avoid death of anymore of our own people is to get the information on how to inscribe the power
in John's blade, have my foster mother enchant it with poison, and impale it, and after a while, the poison can render her into her human form, and then we
can slay her. Tara said.
 
I'll get John's blade then, and since he trusts me and nobody else, I'll get the keys needed on how the blade functions, along with the executioner blade that his daughter
had, we could throw both of them in, so more poison, the better the chance she has of losing the ability to regenerate with poison inside of her. Lexia said.
 
Good enough of a idea, the nova of poison I summon won't be enough, but Gracela can enchant a blade with any possible element, rendering the power to be useful.
Mahanrak said.
 
*Outside at Thayde, at 16:47*
 
Bombs and most weapons won't do against her, do you have any other plans? The Thayde Kingdom officer asked. I think that you must be too late to have made up
your mind... The officer replied.
 
*The demon jumps in the air and makes a shockwave to kill the officers, and then breaks their bodies to devour them*
 
Now, this seems like death is here in a new manner... A witness told the king of Thayde. Well, this little demon you call
transforms from mortal to a immortal like demon that destroys places, kills innocents, and in some cases, does both and devours
their victims. Is this what you are telling me? The King of Thayde asked.
 
Now, the Demigod Mazara could be just as powerful as that demon, she might be able to help us destroy this demon that is killing
hundreds of our people, who knows where the demon is now, now that I presume that she has happened to have left. The witness told
the king.
 
*At Candra Kingdom with the attorney general on the phone*
 
No... Mazara is on her own working to keep the economy stable after Tara's leave, she can't be of aid, but this demon you call
"The Shattering demon", I do not understand what you are talking about. Reven told the king from the phone line. But from
what you are telling me, I know nothing about who this demon is, and I am disgusted to hear that this demon devours the victims
that she kills in a sadistic manner, the best person who you need to speak to for this manner is the new sage in Maria's kingdom,
Lyneria Kingdom, she has a whole list of people who are possible suspects. With her help some of them have been killed, and some
have been incarcerated, while only one or two are probably banished. Reven told the king, and then hung up.
 
*With the Baron and Matriarch mother of Nataliya*
 
I know that the hospitalization was a matter of life and death for you baron, but i'm very sorry that I didn't want to risk your
daughter to die in the fortress when the repair depot's power was shut off. Daria told Zanarkus. I appreciate you and your mother's
parent who used to be a medic years ago when we were at war against those demons years in the past, but I can understand that we
have come a long way through, and I believe that being a matriarch myself should mean I take the time to tell my daughter that she
had made the right decision in resigning her title to her brother Kimblee. Isadora told Daria. I must say that having to go through
so many challenges with Goddess Maria and being trained, I had to go through religion and be a holy person, but through this big
ending, I am glad I can have my daughter back and take care of her before she risks losing her life from the infection she has
received in the past, but do me one more favor before you leave though... Take this envelope, and give it to Sage Kairne, if she asks
who it is from, tell her it's from Baron Zanakarus. The baron told Daria.
 
Alright then, without any tears to drop down in my eyes, I'll give her your message. Daria told the baron, leaving with the envelope
she was given. Good luck out there, and be careful on your way. Isadora told Daria. Don't worry Isadora, I'll make it home, I'm not
bound by mortal life, I can make it home. Daria said, and thus left.
 
*Later, Ms.Hal cleans the kingdom, and leaves to dispose of the bodies rather than have Goddess Maria incinerate them*
 
By the lords Tara, you have got to look at this... Kairne said. What is it? Tara asked. That person who you hired, cleaned the whole
entire fortress with hours of work without a break, even she cleaned my whole entire door when I wasn't here, and the door was locked,
how does she even clean this whole fortress? Kairne asked.
 
She is a contract cleaner who gives estimates to clean the whole entire place, she organizes raids on places that have been raided, and
she is a very elite person, powerful, but only the wealthiest of people can afford her elite services. I received a call from Goddess Maria's
sister earlier while she was cleaning, and she did a lookthrough on the deceased bodies of the victims of a caselisted person, a person who
turns into a demon and bites off the body ligaments and kills them. Or alternatively, if she kills first, she then eats the body away, and
destroys any evidence she can to prevent any charges, but Ms.Hal is a professional expert on everything you need to know on the bodies, and
thus she brought us the evidence for me to research upon, and judging from the blood and the forensic research that I spent time with alongside
her, her work came with a very expensive cost, but I was rich enough to afford the discovery of the person, who committed the murders and ate the
bodies of the victims. Tara told Kairne.
 
How much did it cost to get the whole place cleaned by a elite person along with the disposal and the investigation? Kairne asked Tara. The whole
entire cost of Andrea Hal's service is very powerful and extremely intense labor on her part, but knowing how big the kingdom is and how far she can
get up with her supplies to clean the whole kingdom, she charged us five hundred thousand Lindel dollars to clean this place up and for the investigation,
I had to sign a legal contract bound to the terms of the person who I am bound to, Goddess Maria, so including this cost, Goddess Maria allowed the contract
to be signed and that she would allow her to clean the place up, and after the contract, I offered her a transfer of either five hundred thousand Lindel dollars
and it's fee, in which she must pick up, or she can get it in another currency equivalent to that. Tara told Kairne.
 
Tara, did you have to send that much money? Sage Cignetti said. She aided on the raid and for outside protection, and which I was ordered to by the contract to
pay the costs to go with anyone who is deceased, and the costs to pay for the funeral expenses for those who died under her protection would require that I add
a lot of money to the bill once the contract is signed, so since I was rich, we organized a raid when the power was shut off in the repair depot, and while we
went after Admiral Aveila before she was killed she cleaned the place in the repair depot and everywhere possible, and she is a elite cleaner and disposer, but
look what we now found, after getting the evidence we need to find out our next caselisted person. Tara said.
 
The legal name of this person is Nedra K Dark, and her general alias is "The Shattering demon", named after her will to shatter petrified bodies and render her
victims non-existent. This suspect that we found was due to Ms.Hal, and if it wasn't for her, we'd have to go miles to find witnesses in the kingdom in which the
gruesome voracious murders were, the blood was collected with medical gloves by her and she collected all the genetic materials, and every medical thing needed for
us to identify who did the voracious murders. Kairne, look at this, you might want to since you used to be a doctor when you were growing up before you became a sage
at this kingdom. Tara told Kairne.
 
Looking to identify this blood throughout, we had brought up seven victims, but due to some of the wounds that this demon has received, there was some human blood that
allowed us to identify the name of this suspect, eliminating throughout the system, this means it was Nedra K Dark, who was the one responsible for killing six out of those
seven that were identified by the system's software that was recorded into the log. All we need to do is get the address and have a warrant for the home that Nedra resides and
lives at, and if she transforms, we'll have to have her slain with poison, as it could be the only way to prevent her regeneration. However, the only way to get the current
address is that we need a new person to manage the tracer that allows us to track the location of the suspect, so I had kept a satellite that is very high up in the air to
watch over, even Nedra isn't able to destroy it without having to pick anything up, so gaining access to it is simple, let me dial it's number through the line. Tara said.
 
*Moments later*
 
Woman: Yes?
 
Tara: I have gotten a investigation and a search that a court is requesting, and we need you to trace the location of a person whose name is Nedra Dark. Do you happen to
have the location traced on your satellite? Tara asked.
 
Woman: Yes, we have traced down it's official location through the map, and we now have found her official location because of a mistake she's happened to make by transforming
near her general location she lives at. Do you have anything to write the address with?
 
Tara: Yes, I do now. And one more thing, is that you Armahana? Tara replied.
 
Armahana: How do you know who I am? Armahana replied.
 
Tara: You became a matriarch and participated in the military of Thayde kingdom during the war of conquest. I met you to lead a negotiation on the land
nearby between Thayde and Candra when you obtained the title of Matriarch. I remembered you at the time, do you have any family still with you? Tara asked.
 
Armahana: Yes, I do. Sadly, my husband is dead as of today by murder of the suspect, and the fate of my daughter is unknown. So I am working with Mazara
to get a job and work for a agreement. The location of her address is this, and it's a six number digit so write it down, and follow my instructions
carefully: 514701 Chogala Anikam road.
 
Tara: I wrote down 514701 Chogala Anikam road, is that correct for the address that she resides from the records? Tara asked.
 
Armahana: Yes, we traced the location and the building's ID was 514701 on Chogala Anikam road in Thayde Kingdom, so that should be the residential location on where the
suspect who murdered my husband and ate his whole body off resides. How did you manage to get bits of evidence if only very little bits of traces are
left and hard to get? She asked Tara.
 
Tara: I hired a contracted raider and a investigator who disposes bodies and cleans up, she happened to charge me a rich deal of money, but only the wealthy
afford the most elite of her services, and we eventually ended up happening to have someone who cleaned every bit of Goddess Maria's place and disposed of all
of the dead bodies, and buried Admiral Aveila free of charge for us, while we were charged for the rest. Tara replied.
 
Armahana: That was sad news I heard when I heard that her father had committed suicide because he made a regretful decision in allowing his daughter to seek the
political tool that she happened to have needed to get him back and out of incarceration. He took his matters in his own hands and since he probably knew that he
was a failure and knew he would be back in the prisons he decided to take his own life and committed suicide with his daughter's broadsword. It is just sad that
some things should not have happened, but I do show remorse for the death of those who have sworn a oath of life and death to protect those that they truly have loved
and his suicide was one of those things that kind of tore me down, but eventually after my past resignation with the Thayde military, I offered a agreement with the
new leader, Mazara Melitta, and she agreed to hire me so that I can work to save the ones I loved and work in the future to gain immortality, but right now I'm about
three million, three hundred and fifty six thousand, four hundred and twenty years old. And when I was six hundred fifty thousand years old, I began to take the trials
of Goddess Maria's, and I have managed to go through every bit of chaos and monsters she could possibly summoned, and by the end before I could get the title of Matriarch,
my life was at the brink of death. Had the depression curse I used on the demon at the end not been effective enough for me, I would of died and never made it, but in the
end, I killed the demon with success, and Goddess Maria gave me the title of Matriarch as a reward alongside the exception of a contract of enlistment if I desired, but I
didn't want to burden my life with working with her, so I had to save her the trouble, and I chose not to accept the contract, and she would allow me to work with her and
be employed should I decide to work with her, and I would get to keep my title and ranking with me. It's a long road, but I managed to make it far, and I won't let her sister
and not her down, I'll do anything I can to get justice for my deceased husband, and I'll aid you in doing so. Armahana told Tara.
 
Tara: The blood is on both of our names, and if we all die here, then this could be the end of us. Tara told Armahana.
 
Armahana: Well, somewhere beyond the sea, there's a lot of things that we could see, but we can always go far beyond the stars once we discover the answers, but if you need
me for any further help, I'll provide my number, but don't forget the exit code for your location. It's: +0837 517 643-6824-29683 and dial when you need me. Armahana told
Tara.
 
Tara: Alright, if I need further information, I'll dial. Tara told her, and hung up.
 
*Later, a search party searches the home of Nedra's*
 
Looks like the TKPD is here, and there's not a lot of things I can do now that I'm surrounded. Nedra said to herself.
 
What the??? Nedra again said, noticing her computer has a virus and a trojan on it, and it now claims to be ransomware demanding that
she pays a two thousand dollar fine to be bailed safely or face death, along with her IP address. Who hacked my computer? Nedra said again.
 
*The TKPD breaks in and holds her at gunpoint, while she has a blade in her hand*
 
You don't want to hold me at gunpoint, one injury shot, and I can become a demon in a matter of seconds. Nedra threatened.
 
*A cloaked figure that was invisible strikes her and takes the knifes away from her, revealing herself*
 
Oh, don't I see that the guns are out, nice knowing you Nedra... A woman said, enchanting her blade with poison. Who are you?
Nedra demanded, seeing her knives are now enchanted with poison. If I were you, I would not want to have those blades impaled
inside of you, you won't regenerate as a demon from what you are from the inside. The woman said, freezing her body, and then
the TKPD arrest her. You won't get away with this... Nedra told her.
 
Just to fairly warn you officers, put her in a highly secured prison and lock her away until a trial occurs, my foster daughter
has evidence that she has locked away that might earn her the death penalty in this country. She told the officers.
 
Who are you, and why did you enchant the guns we had? The sergeant asked. I'm the destroyer Gracela, the foster mother of Tara
Serraro, if you have never heard of me, or never knew about me, you might of not had been born at the time or were only very little
to know about me. Gracela told the sergeant.
 
It's best that the death penalty be imposed, but if she can comply with us, she will be able to get life without parole in her case,
even though she has devoured hundreds of bodies and by every means, Ms.Hal, the person Tara hired to investigate the case and the
genetic material of the person who was responsible is the key witness who has the answers that you'll need to interview when the
trial begins, so Nedra will have two choices after the investigation by the Thaydian authorities, either to cooperate with the
authorities, and receive life in a high security prison without parole, in which there won't be metal knives or any way she can
transform into a demon that could damage the prison, or she could possibly devour the bodies of more people, so strict supervision
will be required if you give her life without parole. Or if she refuses to comply on the other hand, then you give her death by lethal
injection and lethal poisonous gunshots from a firing squad, using regular bullets without poison will trigger the transformation and
allow her to kill more innocents, so it is best to use poison. Gracela told the officers.
 
Thank you for the aid. The incarceration and court trial shall be obtained, and your information will be vital to the verdict soon.
The sergeant replied.
 
*Later with Nataliya and Matriarch Isadora*
 
Mother, it seems like the damage that has been done from this infection will eventually stop growing through vain. Nataliya told
her mother. Well, the infection that caused the hospitalization was a deadly one, and the power in the repair depot was shut off,
but had there be not any energy left from the magic Sage Mother had used, then chances are, you wouldn't have been able to live
through, but maybe Kimblee will take your place for now and you can get a chance for a free will. Nataliya's father told her.
 
*Later, Tara dials Armahana's phone,and Daria comes to another phone location to listen on her call*
 
Yes? Armahana said. Hey, is this Matriarch Armahana? Tara replied. Who is this? Armahana replied. Hey, it's Tara, my foster mother
aided in the incarceration of the suspect at the address provided, but the only thing that we got is the risks of incarceration and
death, if we would of allowed her to transform into a demon, then my foster mother could be killed in the process, so I had to have
her cloaked with a magical invisibility potion so she could take the knife away, and she enchanted the officers bullets with poison
but the method of life without parole and the death penalty will have to be a life changing decision between us and the ones who have
died, so this is to likely mean that with the families of those who she has killed, the families of the victims can easily get her parole
denied, so the work can be done. Tara said.
 
I happened to have heard that there is someone who is eventually wanting to take place to be the new patriarch ever since Zerus Maestas
has died after Jarek had killed him, but I don't know who wants to be the next patriarch for Goddess Maria, and I'm looking to witness
this for myself, what do you say, shall we witness the events of the new person who will be the next patriarch that will eventually
replace Zerus Maestas after he has already passed away? Armahana asked.
 
Do you happen to have a name on who this person is specifically? Tara asked.
 
No, I do not have the name specifically, but concluding that who it be is not know to me as of right now, but as the news starts to grow
and change, maybe eventually I will call you and tell you the information on who it is, and eventually we will be able to see who the person
is and how far that the person will get, but the only thing I know about him is that he seems to be the father of Reven Lancer, and the thing
I know about Reven Lancer is that Reven works for the demigod Mazara Melitta, and Mazara is the younger sister of Goddess Maria. Eventually, I
will identify who her father is, and I will give you information on him, and we'll see what we should do by then. Armahana told Tara.
 
Fair enough then. Conclude that this is the end of the case and that she is now incarcerated for the voracious murders and deaths, we'll have to
let the courts proceed on the trial, and I thank you for saving me the trouble. Good luck working with Goddess Maria's sister. Tara told the Matriarch,
and then disconnected the phone line from the wall of the kingdom, and Daria disconnects the phone after Tara hangs up.
