13 januari 1904, On board of the Almirante Grau,

She asked one of her slaves to bring her a chicken. After a while the slave came back with the message.
"Sorry Madam, we are all out of chickens."

Marissa was pissed off that she came back empty handed.
"Do you have a daughter?" she asked the maid.
The maid, trembling with the implications of this question was wavering between complying and losing her daughter, or losing her life itself.
"Yes Madam, I have." The maid answered.

"Good, how old is she? And is she a virgin?"

As a good mother she raised an obedient hard working daughter, keeping her out of view of the supervisors. Luckely Lady Marissa doesn't have much use for males in her employment
"She is twelve now madam, and yes she is."

"Bring her over here!" Marissa said.

Shacking at this command the maid did what she was asked.
"Here she is madam."

"Nice, now leave!"

The maid went away as fast as possible. The girl was shaking. Heaving heard the stories in the slave quarters, unbelieving her mom would sacrifice her to the devil "What are you going to do madam?"

"You will see, stick out your hand." She said.

The girl stook out her hand towards Marissa.

With her knife Marissa made a cut in the little hand and started milking the wound. The blood dripped into a wineglass. "Now, your free to go!" she said to her.

The girl didn't know how fast she had to get away. The guards let her go through and Marissa gave them the order to guard the door, and then went inside again.

The room was dark and candles were burning. On the floor she had made voodoo marks with blood of the people she had killed. The room smelled like Incense.
Marrisa threw the blood into a kettle that was hanging over an open flame. She also added some Cannabis sativa, Lophophora williamsii, Psilocybe semilanceata and Salvia divinorum.
After boiling the substance she put it in an elegant glass goblet. Marissa drunk the liquid and fell into a deep trance.

Marissa was in a deep trance. She sunk deeper and deeper. Bright collors flashed before her eyes, pictures and memory's passed her mind. The images were fast and vague. Suddenly, like every time before everything stopped. In slowmotion she saw the world around her turning. Her body hit the floor with her eyes bright open. She looked the altar and closed her eyes.

Before her she saw two people fencing. She walked around the two and looked them. They both were wearing masks, and the one on the right was winning. She took of her mask and ran to a man who she called "daddy". The man picked her up and was kissing her on the cheak. "You did good sweetheart." He said. Then Marissa saw the face of the man clearly. It was Agrival and next to him she was standing. She picked up her son and kissed him. Better luck next time, your sister is getting better by day. You need to practise more. I will ask your tutor for some more lessons. You will have four lessons in the week now! Okey?" she asked him. The little boy nod and said "yes, mum."
"That's my boy." She saw herself say.
Marissa walked around the happy family and looked at Agrival. He was still a hansome man like he was now. She hadn't changed a lot and the children looked like they were seven. Both of them were good fighters.

The image changed before her eyes and she saw a handsome young man and female in front of her. They were standing at a desk and were in militairy dress. He was looking at the person on the other side of the desk. Marissa couldn't see who it was, and walked around it. Then she saw herself sitting next to Agrival. The two persons who were standing at the desk called them "mother and father". Marissa knew that they had raised two perfect reflections of theirselfs. She was proud and looked at Agrival and her. More beautyfull then ever and more in love then before.

Marissa's body was coming back to it's normal heartbeat. Her pulse was returning to normal, and was fighting the mixture inside of her. She shaked and threw up next to her. That moment she knew she was choking and felt her face turned purple.
With her last strenght she knocked over the altar. The last she heard before her world turned dark.

Agrival was sitting behind his desk, checking the latest financial reports he had recieved on the bussiness he had done last year. They didn't look to bad, might even been called good, if he didn't consider the upcoming mouth he had to feed.
While making notes in the sideline for the clerc, he faintly heard someone choking inside Marissa's "study". He stopped and listened, if he concentrated, he might hear his wifes victem's deadtrows...
...nothing to hear but silence and normal sounds the ship made while at sea.

Shrugging his shoulders he got back to his report. Before he was halfway the page, the noise of something heavy crashing in to the floor followed by the shattering crashes of glass combined with thumbs of solid objects startled him...and his guts turned inside out.

He ran for the door of Marissa's room and listened ear to the door... all he heard from within was silence. He pounded on the door, "Marissa, is all ok?" he asked... silence. He was used to the secrecy while practicing her "religion", but this wasn't normal.

He pounded again, "MARISSA" he yelled, nothing. he tried the doorknob... locked!
Pressing his shoulder to the door he pushed, it didn't budge. He looked around for something heavy and his gaze stopped at the pedestal which held his most valued treasure and he ran for it. Without thinking twice he shoved the ancient sketch aside and heaved the heavy oaken object to the door and use it as a battering ram.

"BOOM... BOOM... CRACK. the wood around the lock was giving in, with another bang, the door flew open.

In the middle of a trashed room, Agrival saw Mariassa laying on the floor, blue-ish and not moving. He spurted to her and felled her pulse, faint. He looked for a sign of breathing, NONE! He smelled the vomit which was choking her. How long was it since he heard the choking? He cleared away the acrid goo filling his wifes mouth. He put his mouth on hers and sucked, mouth filled, he spat sideways. He repeated it again untill nothing came out anymore. He pulse was faint, very hard to detect.

He lay her down and slowly filled her lungs with his breath and watched it come out, again and again.

Finally after what seamed ages, Marissa coughed. Gently he caressed her sticky hair, softly he whispered: "Don't you ever leave me all by myself, I need you." as a single tear fell on her face.

Marissa opened her eyes and saw Agrival. "Don't you ever leave me all by myself, I need you." She heared him wisper. "No, I won't. We will be together for a long time. I have seen the visions and it will be alright. Our two children will grow up just like we want them to. He will be a fine young and inteligent man and she will be a great fighter and fearless like her father. It will all be allright, just trust me." She said while looking in Agrival's eyes.

Far away, on an ice-cold mountain, a shrivelled husk of a woman opened her eyes and muttered: "Damn..."
Her age-crooked fingers clenched around the Phurba, one long fingernail tapping gently on the wrathful face etched on it. "I could have had you."

Her attendants stirred. She snapped at them: "Get me butter-tea. And the writer-girl. A letter needs composing."

'20 januari 1904.'

Marissa stopped with her magic for a while, something went wrong in her last ritual. She needed to do that for her two little ones. They couldn't help it that she did what she had to do. Somehow Marissa knew a little bit what was going on. At some moments on the day she saw a face, and then it disappeared again. She had no clue of who it might be.
Slowly the pictures in her head became better, and she saw that it was an woman in her dreams.

That night, Marissa's dream.

An old looking face with wrath's looked her in the eyes, she had dark green eyes and a skinny body. She whispered something at Marissa, green clouds came out of the old woman's mouth. Poison filled the room she was in and Marissa covered her mouth. The old women walked towards Marissa and grabbed her by the troat. She thought the woman couldn't harm the powerful Marissa, she was wrong. Tightly the skinny fingers wrapped around Marissa's neck. "No, you're not real! It can't be! You're not real!" Marissa said. One quick move Marissa kicked the old woman down on the floor. "This is a dream! You're not real! Non of this is real!" Marissa said while panic.
The old woman was in standing a front of her and looked at Marissa. She didn't say anything, and just looked at her. She pointed at the place where her two little ones were. "No! Never! You won't get them!" she screamed at her. At that moment she woke up with sweat upon her face. Agrival was sleeping next to her and woke up. Marissa was in total panic and hugged Agrival. "She.. and then.. someone.. no.." Marissa said with fear in her voice. She looked at Agrival and her hormones took over and she started to cry. "They tried to kill our two, I don't know who she is. But somehow she looks familiar."
