"Resh" Kami ♍️
Marshal
The round double doors slide open reveling Grandmaster on his thrown. My eyebrows lift when I notice someone I didn't expect to see.
Ah shit. Why did they send for me? I ain got shit to do with this.
The tension is super thick. Resh has his chin up with his arms behind his back. Sea and Koi close the doors behind me. I join Beige on the floor by taking a knee and lowering my head.
"This is actually a time you should stand Marshal. No need to submit when someone so high ranked has done something mischievous and disgusting," Grandmaster says.
My eyes shoot to his.
I want to look at Koi, but I don't think I should. I broke Akanatwe's rules myself. I still don't know if I won't break them again or at least try when it comes to Koi.
"I know you didn't do this on your own... If this wasn't dishonorable I would applaud you for your loyalty. I know other people had to of known. I should let Resh break all of your limbs for hurting my dear Sea so cowardly..." Grandmaster looks at Beige with humor.
Resh blows out air. He takes deep breaths while staring at Beige. Beige keeps his eyes on the floor.
"If Marshal beats you, which I know he will, you will be sent home. You will sign your agreements of secrecy and be rejected from this society," Grandmaster's words stun me.
I look at Koi. His face is stone. Sea's is the complete opposite. She's clearly stressing out.
"It's not just because Sea is one of my gems. You need to made an example out of. We've glanced over your previous issue with Resh at his own request, then you go poke fun at one of his closest ranking associates-"
"I should do yo ass in," Resh says.
This nigga energy finna blow us all away just from speaking.
Grandmaster holds his hand up at Resh to silence him.
"All fun and games, but I accept the challenge. What happens when I win?" Beige says like he isn't phased at all.
Resh rushes towards him, but Koi holds his hand out with a warning look.
Grandmaster grabs his staff and stands with it.
"The disrespect and aingst in this room," Koi says.
"What happens when I win?" Beige asks, with a little more grit in his voice while looking up from his kneeled position.
Grandmaster steps down and walks toward him. He lifts his staff and jams the end of it above Beige's collar bone. Beige grabs hold of it and looks up at him in pain.
Anger flashes through Grandmaster's eyes while he presses harder. I move back some while I glance at everyone.
Beige falls on his back while Grandmaster hovers over him, pressing harder and harder.
Uh oh...
Grandmaster says something I can't understand while lifting his staff, but it sounds more like Chinese than what he's spoken before.
Can Beige understand? He's Chinese I think.
I tighten my jaw to keep me quiet when he raises his staff higher; the end is pointing down right over Beige's head.
"Grandmaster Akanatwe," Koi tries.
Ion feel no serious energy from Beige that tells that he deserves death.
I turn my head. Sea gasps. My body jumps on it's own when I hear the end of his staff land connect.
Shit.
I find myself staring at Koi. He's looking pass me at what's going on. I turn around when I hear Beige's breaths. Grandmaster's staff is connected with the floor tiles right beside Beige's head.
"You won't win... and If you do win by a slim chance, you won't be happy because I will fight you myself. Now get out!" His ancient voice rumbles.
His eyes are fierce and his thick white brows are scrunched up. He backs away and looks at me, Koi, Sea, and Resh while swiping his beard to the side.
"I apologize to you all for the vermin," he projects his voice.
Koi bows. Beige gets up and leaves without giving a proper goodbye. Sea bows and leaves. Resh bows and leaves in a rush, following Sea.
I hope Resh doesn't feel guilty. I'm glad he took up for her.
I sigh and look at Koi. My lips part to speak to him, but I shut myself up when I remember that Grandmaster ordered us to be apart.
"I won't disappoint you," I bow a second time in Grandmaster's direction, then bow a third time in Koi's.
Koi
Marsh dips, leaving me and Grandmaster in here by ourselves.
"This was a lot to have happened before we go off into battle," I say light heartedly.
He's mad... and me? I'm disobedient too. I've never seen him this mad in a long time I'm not tryna catch any of that smoke.
"Nothing you all can't handle. I'm sure," he says.
I turn around to walk away, but his next words paralyze me.
"You... you and Marshal," he says.
I turn around and look at him, trying my best to keep my face as normal as possible.
"Yes?" I ask.
Fuck.
"He won't lose, but if he does, it will put strain on your relationship. If Beige breaks him, then I will break Beige... yes, but if Beige breaks him... he will be broken mentally, emotionally, and spiritually... not just physically," he explains.
My eyes instantly water, but I fight any and all worry and weaknesses. My eyes roam the floor, before I force myself to look him in his aged eyes again. I clinch my jaw.
"Do you understand?" He asks.
I nod, while I try to force myself to speak.
"Do you understand Koi?" He asks.
"Yes Sir, Grandmaster," I force out, raspy and full of emotion.
Guysssssss. Hi. I've been mad busy. Currently trying to prioritize YouTube.
