Chapter 12

Normal POV

Thunderan Territory

Zeddein groaned and shuddered under the covers.

His headaches were getting worse and it wasn't from the severe thrashing his father had given him.

No

It was the curse he had successfully gotten due to his father's ruthlessness and greed and also his(Zedd's) guilt as well.
The curse wouldn't even let him enjoy the pleasure of being chained to his bed.
It didn't even let him go feral at will or even exhibit strange behavior that would prompt his father to ease up with the killing spree.

He sighed and pulled the covers down from his head and covered only his legs with it.
He looked down on second thought.

Naked

He sighed and rolled to lie face down on the bed.
His tattoos burned on every part they had been drawn on.
The felina conjoined emblem took up most of his back, with the crescent moon and the other emblems inside it drawn clearly and perfectly on his back.
While the seperate emblems lined the remaining part of his back beside the part of the crescent that curved inwards.

The Serpentine conjoined emblem had been drawn to be uncoiled and it was drawn as a full snake curling around his left arm with its head resting on the back of his palm.
The other emblems lined his right thigh.

The Cybryn emblem burnt his right shoulder up to the right part of his neck.
The seal on his right peck kept him restless at night.

The Thunderan emblem sat uncurled from its usual infinity sign with the thunderbolt that cut across.
Now the dragon curled around his right hand with the head resting on his right shoulder blade and nearly touching the tattoo of the conjoined emblem on his back, while the Serpentine dragon curled around his entire arm with the head resting on the back of his palm.
Lightning was etched to wrap around the arm alongside the dragon.

Zeddein rubbed his temples and sighed, trying to ease the ache in his head and the burn on his skin.

"Mother, please, I can't.." he kept quiet.

He knew better than to complain to anyone.
It was his cross and he would carry it to the best of his ability.

Why, child?
Why do you do his bidding?
Why do you obey him?
Why must you do this to yourself?

The voices were back again and they hurt his head

Shut up!

You will die one day
You will never be happy
You will never find peace
You are worthless
You are nothing
You are scum
You are nothing but a mindless puppet

The voices were louder and harsher now

Enough!

"Why did you take my mommy?"

He turned and saw a boy, no bigger than 12 years of age, blackend with ash and smoke, dressed in burnt clothes, clutching a blackend teddy bear to his chest and standing in the darkest corner of his room.
Only his eerie Green eyes stood out.
Serpentine

"I didn't mean to. I was under an enchantment"

Zeddein tried to reason

Why did you ruin my home?

The boy sounded on the verge of tears now

"I'm sorry"

You wrecked my teddy, you burnt my house down, you burnt daddy and made him look all icky.
