All was dark, as Akara, Goddess of Life now lay down, almost lifeless. Much time has passed since her capture, and yet nothing has been done to her. What are they planning? What is it they wanted with the Goddess of Life. These questions, Akara had no answer. All she could do was to wait. Wait and hope that somehow, she would be able to survive through it.
It has been months now, and hope was bleak. Akara had been hoping that Isiloon would find her. But till this day, no help arrived. Desperate, she found only one way to save herself. It would be risky. Very risky but with it, came a glimmer of hope. Quickly and quietly, she divided her life force into 4 parts. Two dark entities, and two light entities. And quickly each entity made a wild dash for freedom.
Her plan worked. The Lost One. A grotesque, deformed being of massive size was unable to capture the fleeing Akara fragments. Finally escaping the cluches of the Lost One, The Akara fragments quickly went their different ways. Hiding. With their powers now devided into four, they were less likely to be sensed by MECCUSSA. One by one they slowly emerged. Each sensed the presence of Isiloon. Loyal Guardian and Protector of Akara. They fled to the place that they had sensed her. The colony zone.
There, she began her search for Isiloon. But instead, the citizens of Carnac found them. The Karus took the green skined Akara back to their camp. The El Morads did the same to the more human looking of the Akaras. They didnt know who she was. And for the time being, she kept that information to herself.
Being stranded out in the wilderness has shaken her up quite a bit. But even so, the Akara in the El Morad Camp was able to mention that she had a twin sister out there somewhere. Hiding as well. She asked that they would go out to search for her. Of course, the El Morads agree. Now, another search party will be sent to search for the other missing person.
On the side of the Karus however, the Shadow Akara was a little more tempermental. She claimed that she had a sister out there and if it wasn't for the Karus who "dragged" her back to the camp, she would have found her by herself. Therefore, the Shadow Akara demanded that they go out again and find her twin sister.
Although insulted, the Karus leader saw much fire and spirit in this female and decided to grant her, her wish. The Karus were then ordered to go forth and search for the other missing female. When his guards and generals had left his tent, the Karus leader spun on his heels and backslapped the female Akara across her face, sending her flying across the tent, only to land spread eagle upon the dozen or so cushions that littered the corner of the tent. Before she could rise, he pounced on her, landing on top of her, holding her arms down. He moved his face close to hers, so close that she could smell his rancid breath. Underneath the Karus Leader's massive bulk, a tinge of fear coursed through her being. She closed her eyes and turned her head, fearing what would happen next. But all the Karus leader did was whisper in her ear, with a low yet harsh tone...
"If you ever insult me again, I will personally see to it that you are beaten until a sliver of your worthless life and then shared amongs the tribe. Do... I... make... myself... clear?!"
Quickly she nodded. And with that the Karus Leader releaased her from his hold, and walked out of his tent.
Instead of cowering in fear, "Shadow Akara" stood up, and an evil smirk appeared on her face.
