Accentrik Graphic Novel Part 3 (Working Title)
3 CAPITULUM
A voluptuous figure is walking down an ornate hallway, her heels clicking with each step; echoing throughout the hall. The sounds stop at an equally ornate large door. She pauses taking a deep breath before thrusting the door open. On the other side, a long table with various people sitting stoically. At the head of the table is a dashing gentleman with glowing silver hair. He smiles as the voluptuous figure enters the room. The light from the room pours onto the woman revealing a form fitting gorgeous gothic/victorian styled dress and long wavy pitch black hair. The woman's face radiating natural (or unnatural) beauty with dark piercing eyes that can stab souls.
“Ah sister, I take it the meeting produced good news” the man said. A sensual voice replies, “Would you ever doubt my spellcasting dear brother? Of course the ritual was a success.” One of the figures responds, “We would've had the utmost faith if you had performed the rite. But this mystery adventurer? What qualifies him to do such a thing?” The sensual voice answered, “Honey this wasn't my idea and frankly it works out better this way for us.” Another figure retorted, “It's that kind of apathy and laziness that invites such threats to our land!” “You'd best mind who you are speaking to.” snapped the brother. A third figure replied, “And you mind who you raise your voice against.” The sensual woman added, “If I were so lazy and apathetic, then how is it I was able to perfect the rite as the youngest member of this coven? Not even my brother, the head of the eldest witch family among us could perform such a feat. No offense ____________.” “It wasn't in poor spirit.” __________replied.
The room falls silent. After a few minutes a fourth figure speaks out, “And if this adventurer fails to control the spell? What of it then?” The sensual woman laughs. “You're just like the others” The sensual woman chided. “In the highly improbable case of my magic failing, the appropriate countermeasures have been implemented; across all the world leaders. Also, that young upstart will be the one to oversee our adventurer's condition.” She turns around to leave adding, “As I said before, it's not now nor ever will be our problem. Now there are more pressing matters to attend to Senators, so I suggest you do your jobs before the citizens deem you incompetent. Shall we go _____________?” The brother stands up, “Of course sister.” As the brother joins his sister, the two turn to face the table. (Brother) “We do appreciate your concern, but this is for the benefit of everyone. No word of this to any of your constituents.” (Sister) “And remember WE are the nation that made humanity's lives more fruitful and enjoyable.” (Brother) “WE will be the ones who protect; now and the future.” The duo leave with the sensual woman laughing, her heels clicking into the distance.
