"For crimes of murder, arson and treason against the Empire I hear by sentence you, Chung Ling, to life in Devil's gate prison to live out the remainder of your worthless days.", said the Emperor ; showing no signs of emotion towards to this blindfolded women who the sentence was aimed.

A large amount of people stood in the enormous reception hall of the imperial palace, golden light was streaming through the gigantic stained windows high above the ground, they were all here to see the sentence of Chung Ling. The women who single handedly controlled the Emperor using her strong inherited hypnotism abilities. Was now on her knees in a tattered dress. She was obviously dressed to humiliate herself.

The crowd upon hearing the judgment started to talk amongst themselves.

"Did his highness say Devil's Gate?", one Nobel questioned.

"Isn't that where all the most evil people are kept. I've heard that you can hear the prisoners screams from up to 10 miles around!"

All of the Nobel's and commoners alike who were gathered to watch the hearing were shocked. They had never before seen anyone get sent to Devils' Gate and now this beautiful young women, who was blindfolded to stop her using her hypnotism, was getting sent straight there. It was all happening too fast.

Suddenly the Emporer broke the guests thoughts,"Send the prisoner away at once!" And with that two iron like looking guards dressed in the silver armor of the palace hoisted the woman to her feet. She'd obviously been starved as she had no strength to stand and to make it worse around her bruised ankles and wrists were a pair of heavy chain shackles making it impossible for her to run away.

The two guards half led-half dragged Chung Ling through the hall and out of the huge wooden doors where an magic infused prison cart and its four guards were there to take her to Demons' Gate, and after a short walk the two guards practically threw here in with the several other prisoners. Without wasting time the cart and its entourage set off.

...

"Hey missy.", one of the prisoners said softly to Chung Ling. Chung Ling was motionless. "Playing hard to get are

you, never mind. I'm sure to have time

to have my way with you later, and of course all these other fine gentlemen here!"

With this all of the other men in the carriage showed ghastly smiles hinting to their loss and poor state of their teeth. These men had not seen a women in god knows how long. And here was one now, a good looking one at that, within hands reach!

Suddenly, a flash of light shot through the air and flew into into the neck of one of the mounted guards. The unfortunate individual was not expecting this and slid off his horse, a dagger sticking from his neck.

"Be careful it's an ambush!",shouted another guard, presumably the leader.

Just as he finished talking another three flashes of light shot through the air. One instantly killed the cart driver while the others killed one guard and seriously injured another. The only guard remaining was the leader. Yet another knife shot through the air aiming for the guard, who was also quickly dispatched. All of this took place in ten seconds.

Two people dressed head to toe in black jumped out from the bushes at the side of the road. They were assassins. The two men swiftly walked towards the carriage. One of them dealt with the remaining guard, who was already half dead, and the other quickly opened the cage by kicking in the lock. This whole cage was made by magic infused steel. No ordinary man could kick in this lock.

"A-are y-you going to save us?", asked one of the prisoners nervously.

The black clad man turned to Chung Ling and said humbly,"Allow me to take off your blindfold and restraints, My lady.",in a gruff voice. Expertly he removed the leg and arm shackles before finally removing the blindfold. With the blindfold gone you could see how beautiful this Chung Ling was. Her fair skin contrasted with her long dark purple hair which was loose, hanging down to her elbows. And most strikingly of all were her beautiful crimson eyes which seemed to draw the looks of everyone near. Although her eyes seemed unnatural it didn't hamper her looks at all.

Sitting up, Chung Ling stretched her sore arms and went to get out of the cage. Suddenly, one of the prisoners snapped out of their infatuation and grabbed her arm. Chung Ling didn't react she simply turned her head and looked at this man. " Die." She said in a faint voice. The mans body immediately became lifeless; his hand letting go of the woman and falling to the floor of the carriage. Blood poured from the man's mouth.

"My lady what shall we do with the other prisoners?", asked the second black clad man.

"Burn them.", Chung Ling ordered indifferently.

"Yes my lady.", and with that he muttered a strange few words while raising his hands and fire instantly engulfed the cart. The screams of the prisoners sounded like the shrieks of wild beasts!

"Siyu,",Chung Ling called.

"Yes my lady.", responded the first man

"I'm going to lay low for a while.I'll leave the order in Zheng On's hands. I've left instructions in my chambers."

"Very well," the man replied,"I hope you'll come back to us in the future."

Both me bowed.

With a flash the two men left leaving Chung Ling alone, the cart still burning intensely by her side.
