Part 16: The circle of Realms

I needed a while to swallow those news.
The thing about getting thrown out of the main hall and the fact that it was Pietro, meant there's something out there that has overpowered even realms. Pietro is the most powerful and strongest one out of all of us, this was scary.
I sighed and ran a hand down my face. "I'm not staying here, so we don't need to wait for anyone. We can just teleport over.", I explained. "You somehow need to get back tho, Jubilea.", Pietro mentioned. "Pietro, you have a realm and multiple powerful beings here, it'll be fine. Nightmare can teleport me back!", I explained. Nighty raised a hand, wanting to say something, but shutting himself up rather quickly.
Pietro eyed me before sighing. "Fine. But we're not going alone.", he mumbled. "For missing out on a second realm, we'll need 2 other members, making us 4." 
Jura immediately perked up at that, grinning. I was about to say no, not wanting him to get into danger again, but Pietro nodded. "Alright, this young man it is. Anyone else?", he asked. "I'd just slow you down, so no.", Nightmare explained. At least someone smart here. 
However, I changed my mind when he added: "Xander however would love to follow, ain't that right?" 
Xander, to my shock, nodded. "I'm coming with you three. Sure, I don't have my staff anymore, that one got buried under the castle, but I still have some powers. And I'm not leaving my boyfriend behind." I let out a heavy sigh at that. "Xandy, no.", I muttered. He noticed and raised an eyebrow. "What was that?", he asked with that sharp undertone making me flinch back. "I-I don't want you to come with us, it could get dangerous.", I explained, worried now. He eyed me before shaking his head. "Forget it, I'm coming and that's final." 
After that action a bit ago where he literally banged me into submission and figured out all my weaknesses, I have turned cautious. It's gonna be a massive problem if we get into a fight or something, there goes my advantage. I'm already insanely small next to this 1,83 meter giant that has my body mass as his muscles, my only advantage would be the magical defenses and attacks. Then again, he knows where the grimoire is. 
Now that I think about it, exactly what I was terrified of started to happen. I was killed, then tortured, and now all my weaknesses have been found out. 
I slightly shook my head, trying to clear my mins. I'd need to think about this in more depth later, now we have to bring back Pietro. 
I took a deep breath. "Then gather I suppose.", I mumbled and got ready to teleport, summoning a pentagram beneath me. Jura, Xander and Pietro came over, latter one smiling and saying bye to the others. 
Hero's eyes burnt themselves into my skin as I teleported with that weird group to the main hall, the Circle of Realms, a separate parallel universe that existed merely for our survival. A home, if you will. This included the main hall, the judgement hall, and the resting and living quarters for survivors and underlings. 
All realms have underlings. They are humans or other sentient beings that a realm has previously saved and allowed them to drink their blood, giving over a small portion of their immortality and powers. This doesn't matter to us since we're immortal anyway, and have pretty much infinite power in our parts. 
Currently, Scotty is the one with the most underlings. Underlings are there to fight for you in situations that you'll need help - for Scotty that's the case daily, he's Lust after all. He's by no means weak, oh no. He's one of the big 3, that being Pride, Wrath and Lust. Then come Greed, Gluttony, Sloth and Envy. And lastly Melancholy, being the youngest one of us all. And currently missing. 
I sighed at that memory and went through the overly decorated hall. There were plants hanging from the roof like some sort of ruin, with strings of pure gold, created by me, decorating the 8 pillars, all of them having one of our symbols. 
We went past the statue that held our images and straight to the living quarters. Now I understand why Pietro wanted someone else to come with us, he always has a feeling for some shit happening. 
Shortly after we entered the living quarters, a cage dropped from the ceiling. Xander managed to escape by the width of his hair before the cage hit the ground, trapping us others in there. I hissed and slammed my hand against the bars, getting ready to blast that thing. Before I could react tho, a new metal bar appeared and almost consciously grabbed me from behind by my throat, wrapping itself against one of the cages bars and tightening a lot. I screeched and struggled, but the more I did, the tighter it got. So I quickly stopped, but the bar was already extremely tight. 
I have a choking kink, I'll admit that. It feels good to me. But that was a bit too tight, I couldn't even breathe. So while Jura tried to bend that one open like when we were both dead, Pietro frowned and looked at our attacker. 
It was a female demi-god with a long ass robe that hid her identity, but that crown with bowed up horns, that definitely didn't look like Loki's crown, and that long, golden-brown hair gave it away, her black-green eyes only making it clearer who that was. 
"Sylvie...", Pietro muttered, not so gentle now. He sounded proper mad, and I can't judge him. 
Talking about not being so gentle, I currently can't even feel my lungs anymore. Jura was doing his absolute best at trying to free me, but nothing seemed to work. 
I hung there, stuck to a metal bar and suffocating, gripping the cold iron that was wrapped around my throat. Barely able to watch, I noticed Sylvie walk over to Xander in a cat-like way, her considerably hot body moving under her robe. She smirked and grabbed Xandy's throat, choking him out to take full control of him. Xander struggled before going limp after a few seconds. Sylvie muttered something, digging her claws into his throat. 
And at that point, my vision went blood red. Jura only had time to jump away and I heard loud screaming as the last thing before my sanity finally broke. 
You can hurt literally anyone of us and I won't give a flying fuck. However, if you touch Xandy... The fun's over.
