The Glyph Monado

Ch. 32: Voice of Reason

The Blight Matriarch was slowly clenching her reattached hand shut.

'Mittens, I am going to teach you a very PAINFUL lesson.' She thought.

"I'm going to kill that human in front of you." She growled, "I'm going to kill that girl with her own sword."

Odalia didn't care if it was the legendary Monado, a sword was still a sword! Anyone can use it! Or at least she thought so.

"That girl will regret the day she was born!"

The Healer didn't know what she was blabbering about but he didn't care as he gave Odalia a prescription of painkillers and healing patches to help her hand heal faster.

"Take one when you wake up and one before you sleep while putting on a new healing patch every 12 hours." He said to her. Odalia nodded while thinking of the ways to kill the human.

'I could see if the Abomitrons would do her in, without Mittens around she would die easily.' Odalia thought as she lowered her sleeve, hiding her stitched hand.

Odalia went home, it was unlikely that Amity would come back, she would most likely stay at the Owl House. That would give her a chance to plan without Mittens getting in her way and to surprise attack the human. She walked into the manor.

"Alador, I need to speak to you."

Currently, the busy abomination scientist was having a lunch break as he was eating some sandwiches in the den with a drink.

"Yes, dear?" He asked as he wiped his lip with a napkin.

"We need to make an abomination that will kill that human."

"You mean the one Amity is fond of? Luz, I think her name was." Alador said as he put drink and napkin down. "I thought we agreed it would be better if Mittens stayed in contact with her and her new friends, to make her stronger."

"I don't care about that! That aggravating Human is dating our daughter!"

"Ah, yes I saw that in the news." Alador said.

"The news?!" Odalia screamed!

"Apparently, she's also dating Boscha, one of Amity's friends and the daughter of our associates. A rare three person relationship." Alador told her.

"That Human need to be eliminated!" Odalia said.

"But why?" Alador asked as he rose from his chair.

"Because that Human has corrupted Amity!"

"Corrupted Amity? How? She's a lot happier than she used to be." Alador said.

"She's going to be in love and won't pay attention in class, soon her grades will-"

"That is enough." Alador said, "You are blowing this out of proportion."

"Am I?! Look what that human did to me!" Odalia said, showing her stitched back on hand with a healing glyph on it.

"Okay, answer me this, did she do that unprovoked or did you have an abomination hold Amity down while you hit her?"

"What difference does it make?" Odalia said, avoiding the question.

"It makes all the difference because Luz would want to protect Amity. Though cutting off a limb is a bit extreme, it was out of a need to protect someone she loved." Alador said as he put a hand to his chest, "A gestured I would do to protect my own family if put in the situation."

"So, you would let that human get away with this!?"

Alador walked past her.

"I am done with this conversation."

"Alador!" Odali screamed at her husband, growling in anger at him.

"You want me to make a weapon to kill a child? Tell me what will happen when the public learns that Blight Industries killed the most popular girl on the Isles?" He asked, "I can already tell, the public wouldn't like that."

"Even if the child has the Monado?!" Odalia revealed, making Alador stop in his exit.

"The Monado? As in the legendary sword of the Hand, having been around since the savage ages?" He asked, slowly smiling in excitement as he looked to his wife again. "Luz is its wielder?"

"Yes!" Odalia screamed, not caring for his "random" smile.

"I've heard the Legend but I never took it as fact. That girl is far stronger than I could've imagined."

"Focus! The point is that the human is a bad influence on Mittens, not to mention dangerous now with a weapon of legend!" Odalia said to him.

"And you're dangerous too." He said, "You had an abomination hold down our daughter in order to beat her."

"She needed discipline!"

"She's fourteen!"

Both husband and wife argued over what was right to them; Odalia stood firm on that she knew what was best for Amity, no matter how cruel, and Alador remained adamant that Luz was good for Amity and makes her happy. Both thought they were right but only one of them truly was.

"If you want to make something, then go ahead. I'm not helping you." He said.

"What?!" Odalia asked in shock but thought it was an interesting. "Hmm."

'Well Blight Industries does have several weapon products.' She thought.

"Time to put one into production." She said.
