" Come on now, we need to welcome our guest "
*crash*
soon after the emperor and the secretary left from the window, it crashed
" Aayy, that scared me "
the emperor exclaimed with his hand on his heart
right after the window crashed Avner appeared through the broken fenestra
´yep, he definitely spend a lot of time with Nephthys, he doesn't give a damn about consequences and looks at people coldly, he definitely got influenced by her´
the secretary was actually impressed at how much this kid got swayed by Nephthys
" You injured my guards and now broke my window, you kid have a lot of nerves "
" Where is she ? "
" Woah….this disrespectful little shit "
the emperor was giving his secretary glances of disbelief
" Do you know I'm older than you ? "
" you are also the emperor "
the secretary whispered into his ear
", even better. Do you know I am the emperor you punk, show me some respect "
" …. "
" shi….look at this brat glaring at me "
the emperor took off his shoe and was about to throw it at him "
" Ah. your majesty "
as always poor Dillon had to deal with Dheerans mood swings and stop him from embarrassing himself
" AH.AH.AH, my blood pressure dropped "
the emperor held his head and sat down on the nearest chair
" I thought you were like her family. Why did you let her leave when you know she is going to put herself in danger ? "
at Avner's question the atmosphere finally became serious once again
" I see you love her so much and yet you know so little about her, looks like she never told you about her past but then again that's not something you say over a cup of tea. Did she teach you about how our feelings are the key to our powers ? "
" Yes "
" Well then you should already know that the more intense our feelings are the stronger our powers and vice versa the stronger our powers the more emotionally vulnerable we become, you'd think that that's not that bad but it can be very dangerous because the feelings take over our mind and body, it can be tamed however its a different case for Nephthys because she has demon venom running through her veins, the poison constantly attacks her mind, which is why she will always be followed by her worst nightmares since her nightmares were caused by her most prominent feelings: Anger, disappointment, sadness and hate "
" What do you mean she has poison running through her veins, what exactly does that mean ? "
" What do you think that means ? It means Nephthys is a monster "
" Your majesty, that's a little…."
Dillon couldn't understand what Deheeran was trying to do by insulting Nephthys in front of Avner
*swish*
out of nowhere a dagger came past the emperor cutting him on the cheek
" I will kill you "
Avner wasn't joking he has never been this serious in his entire life
after glaring at each other for some time the emperor finally decided to talk
" Woah you really are her student, did she teach you how to kill people with your eyes "
even though Dillon has been next to Deheeren for most of his life he still couldn't get used to his ways of making people wanna kill him, he just kept his hand on his mouth and looked at the emperor curiously at this point he was just really impressed at how fast he could make enemies and then switch like it was nothing
" You were brave enough to threaten an emperor in his own palace because he insulted your loved one. I am impressed. You passed the test "
" Do you think I came here for your approval ? Tell me where is Nephthys "
" Actually you are the one who is going to tell me that "
" Your majesty I don't think he would come all the way here and threaten to kill you if he already knew where she was "
Dillon whispered in his ear
" I don't know where she is but you can find her, Nephthys shared her energy with you a piece of her is inside you, which means you two are now connected, which means you are the only one who can find her "
" Tell me how to do it "
" It's not going to be easy so you better be prepared, it's going to hurt a lot "
" I don't care about that "
*18 years ago*
Where am I ? "
I can't see anything, I am blindfolded, the floor is cold, it must be somewhere underground…..someone is talking
" How many kids do you have ? "
" around forty "
So there are more kids with me
" That will do for now, wait for my call "
" Yo, could you try not to kill all of them this time around, you know it's quite hard to find more children since you killed them all "
" shut your mouth and wait for my call, I'm sure you can find more if you leave the village "
the guy threw the other guy a bag full of money by the sounds of it
*Rowr*
I heard a horrible sound just now, it sounded like a demon, I could also hear terrified whimpers looks like the other kids also heard the beast just now
" Alright people let's get to work "
work? how could they talk so casually like its just another day at work when its already clear what they are going to do with us
" No, I don't want to go "
" Let go of me "
" I want to mommy "
I don't know exactly what they are going to do with us but….they took the first group of kids
" AAAAAAHHHHHH "
Pain, terror. That's what the kids that were taken were experiencing based on their screams it was hard to listen to, it was too heartbreaking
" sob,sob….what….snif…ar…are they…gonna do to us..sniff "
" I'm scared….""
" Hey, silence "
The kids that were with me were getting scared but as expected the adults found us annoying….sigh….why does this world have to be so cruel
" Alright kiddos stand up it's your turn now "
it was our turn now, we stood up and the adults were pushing us through the way since we were still blindfolded
*Rrraaaauuuggghhh*
the monsters whipping were a lot louder now. It could mean only one thing, we were in the same room
" Alright you can take a look now "
they finally took our blindfolds off ...and I could finally see although I would have preferred it if they would have kept my blindfold on, the scene was terrifying, there was a huge demon in chains and all around him were kids, dead kids, half kids, bones, blood….
" AAAHHH !!!! "
the kids around me tried running away but were stopped of course, while me….I was frozen in fear as I looked into the demos eyes and he was looking right back at me
" Were the fuck do you think you are going to, you little fuckers "
" AAAAAHHHH, I DON'T WANT TO ! "
looks like the runaways are going to go first
" NO, NO, NO,NO ! "
The kids were sobbing hysterically
*Rrrraaauuuggghhh*
they cut the demon, not much but enough to make him bleed, the blood was floating in the air, water elementalists
