Although well immersed into the 21st century there were certain things Damini did. She felt it was more regal when she rode a palanquin. They were always ornate and fit for a queen or king. Damini fancied herself a member of the royal society. Although wealthy she was most definitely not welcomed into their world. She was a practitioner of the dark arts. She willed things against their natural course which was taught to all witches and wizards that they were not to meddle in time and love. She left India because the royals were out for her blood...They were no longer willing to turn the other cheek. Damini attempted to curse the Royal family and they had set a bounty on her head. She fled to New Orlands where sh openly practiced and advertised her black magic.

Stepping onto the stairs that led to the street Damini saw the palanquin waiting. It was black with ornate gold designs on it. As she approached the curtains pulled apart as if pulled with an invisible string to grant her access. She was on her way to the bayou where she would go to try and appeal to the dark voodoo gods to do her bidding. Damini was finally able to think of a plan that could help her. She wanted power and would go to whatever limits were necessary to make this happen. She wanted the power...the control to make her will law.

Damini had, had enough of playing by others' rules. She was tired of living in shadows. Mortals should be bowing to her but instead she is living in secrecy. It was time to put her plan to work but she didn't know this would be her final night on Earth.

After making sure she was settled she ordered the men to move out. The walk to the bayou would be a long one and she had many men to carry her. Shrouded within invisibility being seen by humans or any creatures at the moment was not a concern for her. She just wanted to get to the site she had picked out earlier before the witching hour began...

Kurama smiled to himself as he felt the magical energies of the world changing and distorting he could feel the bonds that tied him down within the dark recesses of the magical world coming undone as he opened an eye and looked around him all he saw was the vast nothingness of his prison yet his tails were free, Swaying his tails in unison he destroyed the rest of the chains holding him down and tore apart the shackles as his vision became more clear he saw something, a foolish witch walking through his home.

thinking to himself he watched the woman walk through the bayou his eyes watching her every movement before he put his plan into action biding his time to build his strength the large fox lashed out at the females mind and whispered into her ear with silky smooth voice "You have come at just the right moment i know why you are here and i know what you desire." the fox smiled to himself as he delved deep into the woman's desires and darkest wishes he laughed as her hatred of the beings she called humans helped him regain his strength and force his way deeper into her very soul.

"I could give you the power to destroy them even enslave them if you wanted, you could be the mistress of all you survey all i ask is that you free me." Kurama was master of convincing anyone and anything to do his bidding yet he had failed to convince his brethren to seize control from the gods while they had the chance in turn they betrayed him kurama the strongest of all the tailed beasts betrayed and sealed away in this dark place yet they made a mistake they had forgot that he fed off of the impure emotions of all beings.

"Free me and i will make you the ruler of all you survey and more." The foxes silky voice continued chime int eh woman's ear.

Entering into the dark and deadly bayou the men quickly made their way to the clearing that Damini had chosen for her ritual. As she entered the clearing the candles she had set up earlier responded to her presence. They lit up automatically illuminating the clearing in their bright orange glow. Damini took a deep breath and extended her mind letting it touch all of the corners of the bayou. She could feel others around her who possessed magical abilities not necessarily witches or wizards but the area was humming with the amount of power that passed through her. It seemed to almost amplify her own powers.

As she continued to expand her mind a presence entered her space. It was definitely a male presence. He whispered into her ear all the things she wanted to hear. She spoke out in the clearing, "Who is there...reveal yourself to me....I am Damini, Dark Mistress of the Night.. Damini had to admit the sudden presence startled her. It intrigued her with all it was claiming to promise. Her interest was piqued so she would see what they could offer her that she could not get herself. Damini was a very determined woman so she did whatever was necessary to get what she desired.

The fox continued to whisper his honeyed words in to the females head the words roling off his tongue in his silky smooth voice "I am the on you seek the one who holds allt he power over this realm i can make all your dreams a reality and your realities dreams so trust me and let out i wish to play and help you achieve your goals over this wworld that you call home."  Kurama had ensnared in his devious little trap he need only send her over the edge with the promise of power and he would be free again free to destroy and kill and hunt down his brothers and sisters and teach them a lesson in respecting power such as his. he despised them and he despised being caged like this it made him furious that weaklings such as this woman were able to walk free yet he was confined tot he darkness.

"Now fair lady release me from this prison and all will eb fulfilled your desires your wants and even your deepest darkest secrets will be lived you will want for nothing and everything at the same time but you will be satisfied." Kurama continued to talk in this way even though it sickened him so he had never needed the help of another but this time was different only another could help him break the magic of his brethren that he may be free to walk the earth and cause mayhem where he pleased.

Going against the thoughts in her mind Damini decided to do the bidding of the unknown source. Using her dark magic she broke the chains that bound the source by casting a complicated spell. All the enchantments and barriers that kept Kurama in bondage began to fall away giving the ageless beast access and more freedom to the human world. The spell continued to break away at what bonds were left Damini sat quiet in a trance as all of her energy and efforts were focused on freeing Kurama. The possibility that she could go back to her native India where she would overthrow the royal family and in turn making her queen.

After the initial phase of her plan was done she would slowly enter each kingdom and take over them. She would have the world bowing to her...The world would bow to her and worship her for the goddess she was! She could feel the power surging through her already. Calling upon all of the dark forces of the night she broke the final barrier which was the hardest to pass. A sudden blast of magic shot through Damini and a shock wave of power was released from her aura. It caused an energy so strong it knocked down a trees making it appear as if a tornado had come through the clearing.

Damini flew from her on power but quickly regained her footing and landed gracefully. She stood expectantly waiting on the being she just freed to come forward and thank her as they promised...

[Deleted]

Kurama launched himself through the barrier and smiled down upon the pathetic being that helped him escape he smiled as he approached her from behind smiling and laughign silently to himself as his hot breathe reached theback of her neck he spoke aloud this time for all the world to hear "You simple little mortal you thought i ould give you what you wanted, i told you what you wanted to hear what the darkest recesses of your soul told me and you did what i wanted beautifully so you will die in a manner befitting one such as yourself." The giant fox laughed this time even louder as he drew out the negative and positive energies of the world melding them together to create a small orb of pure energy and destruction as he looked upon he filthy creature that had set him free.

"Say your final farewells to this world you have no place in the world i envision." And with his final words Kurama let the orb go hurling it at Damini with his nine tails he watched it speed towards his target a large grin on his face. "May your soul find ever lasting torment with in my tailed beast bomb you foolish mortal." Kurama reveled in his betrayal of Damini how he had twisted her desires and wishes to suit his own selfish needs and more importantly how he had tricked her into freeing him.

[Deleted]

Damini turned to face the being who had promised her, her hearts desires. She was shocked to see it was Kuruma. SHe stepped back in fear. Kuruma had been in many tales of the nine tailed beast who brought havoc to the world with his siblings. It was legend that they turned on him because he wanted to destroy the very world they were apart of. They had come from a realm far away originally but had come to Earth and all was well until Kuruma's powers consumed him and he became the epitome of evil incarnate. There was no stopping him.

They had to turn on their on sibling thus causing them all to turn on one another. There were those who didn't necessarily agree with him but did believe he had some truth and it was the others who believed Kuruma was completely wrong in his thinking and that he was walking down a dangerous path that would in the end cause his demise. Kuruma looked on unable to even say words as she listened to the giant fox laugh in her face. Her very life flashed before her eyes. She couldn't even move because shock had taken over her body.

As the orb came closer and closer to her she decided to do what was right for once in her 675 year life. She was going to sacrifice herself for the betterment of the world. By doing so she would ensure the demise of Kuruma. No one would EVER double cross the witch. She stood upright and elegantly as the orb hit her in her chest. Never once did she flinch or scream out in pain as the orb absorbed her life force and she erupted in flames illuminating the dark clearing that was only being lit by the dark candles. The flames from the candles jumped from their wicks and joined in the firey blaze that engulfed Damini.

[Deleted]

Kurama laughed as Daminin gave into her demise laughing even more as her thoughts of destroying him crossed her mind he was beyond even her powers he smiled as he watched the witch burn and die as his nine tails swayed back and forth increasing the power of the flames he wanted this witch to see the true power that she had awoken even if it was just a  portion of his true power as his siblings had sealed that power away within his own body.

He hated having limitations but he had overheard his one fo his siblings mention something that he had pondered for a long time "what if he learns that hsi pwoer hasn't ben split but suppressed what if he learn to unleash it fully" He bowed his head int hanks to his siblings they had sealed his own power with in him and limited it but if Kurama knew one thing it was limitations were meant to be broken and so he planned on breaking those limits and returning to his gloriously powerful self the one that had to be subdued by the other eight tailed beasts to seal him away.

The large waited for the flames to die out slowly before he spoke to the now charred and defeated witch "Do not worry my glorious and beautiful assistant you have brought about a new age for this world the age of Kurama!"

[Deleted]

Damini's body was no more the evil witch was gone. She gave up all of her dreams to protect humanity in the end. She couldn't let the likes of Kuruma destroy the planet. She wanted the planet to flourish under her rule. She would have been a fair dictator. She would have ended hunger in the world...She just wanted absolute power. What would be the point in destroying and all on it to be the lone person roaming the earth. Damini had plans...The world would have been harmonious for her.

Within the clearing all went silent. The sounds of the night stopped altogether. It was as if time stood still. The only sound that could be heard was the breathing of Kuruma. Suddenly a brilliant flash of light appeared and standing there in the clearing was Damini. It was not Damini in her human form, but Damini as a ghost. The witch truly did always have something up her sleeve. She couldn't help but to smirk at Kuruma. The beast truly felt he was some unstoppable force. He may have met his match in the witch though. She was not to be underestimated. All of her moves were calculated and well thought out. It would have to benefit her in order for her to do it...even in death.

Damini's ghost looked at Kuruma and smirked. She started speaking sounding no different than her human self, "You think you have it figured it all out right Kuruma...Well let me tell you this...There are more things than what meets the eye. You have been freed and you have taken me from this world. In the end it will be you who fails in the end. Your greed in the end will consume you and desires. You should take this warning and remember it!" From where she stood she outstretched her hand and pointed it towards Kuruma, "The same prison I freed you from is the very one you will send yourself back to. Your death will come to you at your own hands. Your destructive ways will stop you from getting what you truly desire. My body was not destroyed in vain. May you be cursed from now until your final day here on this Earth. All you set out to do shall fall at your feet. There is a great threat that has been formed against you that shall cause you your downfall. No amount of destruction can bring an end to it."

With her final warning the spirit of Damini was gone leaving Kuruma alone in the clearing. The charred remains of her body were suddenly swept up in a strong gust of wind that passed through the clearing...

"Child of the new world you do not understand you can not kill hatred i will survive if i am chained down and sent back into that abyss from where i cam i will continue to live on int he hearts of mortals and immortals alike i am unending so cast your curses if they help." Kurama smiled as he crushed the remains of the witch under his foot and smiled letting out a stream fire reducing the brush and trees in the bayou to nothingness as he made his way out of the bayou slowly dissipating into nothingness allowing him to be everywhere at once as he smiled his mind racing as he started to create natural disasters all over the globe thinking to himself "this will get those who may try to stop provoked i look forward to this thank you witch"
