"Both attempts at capturing that little girl and destroying that kingdom had gone utterly horrendous. How is it possible? In the eye of vision himself, the God of wrath…that you three failed"
He said. His tone is like a restless tirant. A dictator wanting all to himself. His posture was restless. Clenching his fists occasionally. "I had a lot of faith in you, zavre.. I really do. I counted that you would be able to get the job done." he said disappointed.
Turning around to see zavre and her sister umi kneeling down on the floor with their heads facing down, Darcius laid on the floor unconscious. "I am sorry master.. I almost had them.. If just.." "if just what" he replied. Walking over her and bending down. Coming on eye level with her, zavre's breathed shackingly, scared to utter a single word more.. she knew that if she had said one thing more. That only a painful punishment would lead up. "Come on.. tell me.. if only what?.." he grinned a sinister smile underneath the dark shadow. "If only that arrow had not struck me i would have been able to finish the job" she said softly.. closing her eyes. Expecting him to punch her like he did when she was young. But before she could feel the burn of the hit. Umi intervened, umi looked on horror as she too realized the weight of the situation. "Don't.. We-" the man cut her off and walked over to her.. "really brave for a young girl.."
He said. Punching her in the face. Making her fall down onto the cold floor. "Umi!" Zavre said. Tears welling up. "That will teach a lesson to never interrupt me.. " he said walking back over to zavre.
But before he could hit again.. the soft voice mixed with soft grunts of pain filled the room. "I will. Make sure to get her straight away next time with zavre.. and we won't fail" zavre held her mouth slightly open in confusion and melancholy before the man laughed and grinned. "And what if you fail again?"
Umi held her breath. Knowing that whatever she is about to propose. Will have huge consequences for not only her but her sister zavre too. She sighed. Pulling herself back up using the weight of her shoulder before glancing at zavre, she glanced down slightly before turning her head to face the man. "You may do anything with us as you please. '' Zavre looked at umi in a disappointing but sad look. Umi could tell imiediatly by looking at zavre's face that she did not agree with her proposal. In fact. She knew inside that it was the most horrifying choice that she could have taken.. the man grinned once more before turning around to look out of the big arched window. "Very well.. I want her alive and as soon as possible.. until then.. i don't want to see a speck of blood on you two" Umi nodded. Glancing back at Zavre who looked down towards her hands. Refusing to look up.. Umi stood up and tried walking over to her but Zavre shot up and ran out of the giant room. The closing of the door echoed throughout the room as she glanced towards Darcius who still laid on the floor unconscious while a dagger was sticking out of his side. As Umi looked back at the man with his hands behind his back. He side eyed Umi and looked back out of the window. Signaling for Umi to make a move before she ended up like darcius.
"Make this count" she said to herself before running after Zavre and into the dark hallways beyond. "HOW COULD YOU!" Zavre yelled at umi.
"HOW COULD YOU OFFER OUR BODY UP FOR THAT STUPID LITTLE GIRL!" Zavre said again. Walking towards the bed. Tears welling up her eyes as she looked back again at zavre who looked down towards her feet. "It was either thag or we would be killed, umi said softly. Scratching her hands before glancing up again. "For the past 20 years we have been staying here.. training relentlessly to make him proud. And now he suddenly switched sides?" Zavre cried. Laying flat on her bed while covering her eyes with her arm. "If it wasn't for his crazy obsession over being immortal and regeneration abilities." Umi walked over to her and sat next to her.. putting her hand on zavre's before saying "we only need to capture her. That is all we need to do. Then we are free." "Will we?!" She said again. "Look at where we live.. towns and villages destroyed. Our whole kingdom is blanketed in darkness and evil.. we are not invincible from that!" She said again. Umi glanced down again. Deep inside her she wanted to free herself too from the chains that were bound to her and her sister. Holding them both in captivity against their will. But yet if they would be free. More dangers would come along their path. "One more ok.. then I will try to free ourselves.. I hope."
Zavre glanced out of one eye underneath her arm
"Get your stuff. We will be moving tonight". Umi said. Standing up and walking towards the old decraped door. "I will come back soon." Umi said. Closing the door behind her as she entered the dark hallways again. "The risks of serving a tirant" she said under her breath. Until suddenly. She bumped against a cold metallic surface. She shook before looking up and realizing what she had bumped into. The son of the mad tyrant." Hylat.
His dominating posture intimated umi. Making her look down and apologizing for bumping into him
"Sorry for standing in your way.. i will make sure it won't happen again.." Hylat did not reply back. Instead just stared at her. Into her soul before smirking and walking onwards. Umi glanced back and held one of her hands against her arm, afraid of making another mistake. As she entered her room. She looked over to her scythe in the far right corner against a closet. The moonlight shined off its metal blade before Umi closed the blinds.
Walking over to her bed and sitting down. Staring at her scythe for what felt like eternity. "What am I supposed to do.."
