Inbetween

Room

Overview POV:

In a terribly lit cobblestone chamber, a hollow crescent table lay in the center. Dark grey carpet with light grey embroidered disease slept unto the table. Adding some wealthy charm. At the table was a hooded figure. He was placed at the climax of the crescent in a silver chair. He didn't move or breathe. A soul wasn't hosting the body at the time.

It was all according to plan.

The figures eyes shot open and sharply inhaled like he just was stabbed.

The door opposing the figure opened dramatically. Revealing a Chancellor. "Master! Master!" He ran closer. "I cant believe it. It worked. You successfully transmitted your soul into a Liza-fo! Then snapped right back!"

The hooded mans pure boiling red eyes slowly looked at him and he glared.

The Chancellor quickly realized his mistake and took a knee. "I apologize, Master, I spoke out of turn."

"That's quite alright, I'm in a good mood today." His voice was silky and lighthearted like a child. But his poster and deep aura made it clear he was no child. And was to be taken seriously, no matter his mood. "Be sure to test the Liza-fo for any change due to being my host. Also check the bloodwork on our other subjects."

The Chancellor nodded.

He stood and let his hood fall off his head, reliving gorgeous white hair and grey skin. His cloak matched the carpet and reached just above his ankles. His tunic was one held together by leather straps- aiding as a sheath for a sword on his side.

He strolled past the Chancellor. His back to him. "Ask me why."

The Chancellor gulped. Not knowing whether to respond to the testing or his mood. "Why are you in such a good mood Master?"

The man smirked at himself. "Because my dear Chancellor-"

He was interrupted by knocking on the door. His smirk transformed to a disappointed frown. The Chancellor stepped up as they saw who was at the door. It was Cia. The grey man ground his teeth together.

"Now that I have given you not only a form but the answer to an astounding ability, I need you to hold up your end. Dont worry, you will benefit from this as well."

The man nodded. Unhappy. "I know these things. I will hold up my end. But once I found it. You better do the same for me."

She laughed and flicked her wrist at him. "Oh, please I have no reason not to. All of that goes for you." She stepped and tugged at his dark scarf that cut like a triangle across his chest. "I have to say, that cape is a little out of my taste. I liked it when it was just you wearing the scarf Lin-"

The man hit her hand away. "Dont call me by that disgusting name you wretched woman!"

Cia did her best to look hurt and sarcastically pouted. "As you wish, Master."

She turned to exit the room then stopped and pulled a glass ball out of thin air. I forgot why I was originally here. All of them are in one place as you requested. The glass flickered then showed a hazy image of a wooden room with nine beds. She let him take a closer look then testily placed the spyglass back into whenever, or wherever it came from. "Now remember. We need them, so dont go out killing them. I may have been able to bring you out of the shadows with my power, but I'll need my staff to bring the rest."

The man nodded. "Im aware. But they can still fulfill their purpose if theyre missing a few limbs, right?"

Cia smiled and walked away. Leaving the Chancellor and the man alone. The Man clipped off his cape and handed it to the Chancellor. "Assuming the tests come back positive. There should be enough malice on this to enhance even more of Gannon's wonderful creatures."

The Chancellor bowed. "Of course, Bain of the Warriors."
