All these skulls had different, terrifyingly baleful auras emanating from them, with shrill cries escaping their empty mouths, as if they had all died horrifyingly gruesome deaths.
The deafening cries of these floating skulls echoed out powerfully. Spreading thousands of miles around the giant mountain, pushing the sand storms surrounding the mountain away violently.
Thousands of skulls floated to the surface of the lake by the second, until the entire lake's surface had been filled to the brim with terrifying, crying skulls of various sizes.
Looking at the lake filled with crying skulls, the withered lady smiled, then moved her lifted feet towards the now gray colored lake water.
After stepping into the lake, she whispered. "See? It's not that hard to be obedient now is it?"
But after her right foot submerged into the lake, the entire lake started to bubble and boil violently. The crying skulls also started to break, as cracks started to appear all over them. Their cries became even more violent and loud as they boiled within the lake, creating even more shockwaves to erupt from the mountain's peak that caused the entire mountain to start shaking violently.
Ignoring the boiling lake, and the screaming skulls that started to shatter as she approached, she ventured further into the lake. With each step she took, causing the lake to boil even more violently, while the temperature within the lake rose astronomically.
After submerging half her body into the lake, half of the lake's water had already boiled into gray mist that encircled the mountain's peak. The various skulls within the lake had also been ground to dust, which then flew along with the gray mist of the boiling lake.
By the time her lithe and withered body had disappeared completely within the lake, the entire lake had already boiled into gray mist. The skulls that had previously littered the surface of the lake, had also been crushed into dust that now flew along with the mist of the boiled lake.
Only a tiny strand of hair from the old lady was left behind, after she disappeared into the lake. That strand of hair floated above the dark abyss at the center of the mountain peak, following the gray mist, for a couple of seconds, before something strange started happening to it.
As the hair follicle gently floated in the mist, it strangely started to morph. Strange human faces started to appear all over the tiny hair follicle. Faces that expressed different terrifying emotions. Some faces seemed to be crying in agony, some seemed to be laughing maniacally, while others seemed to be screaming frantically. Each face looked as if they were moments before their doom, as if something monstrous was about to tear them apart, and devour their remains.
