Death and Rebirth: Roleplay with TheNovaSwag #2

Chapter 54

M:   When he could no longer feel her presence, Odrus let go, panting from the ordeal with a saddened look on his face.

"She makes a good point," he sighed, "why should my friends get their vengeance and you can not?  Well, as she said, no one is going to kill you on my watch either."

"Odrus!" A voice shouted, "Odrus what the hell are you doing!"

"The right thing," he shouted as his friends came running, "I'm sick and fucking tired of all this revenge bullshit, it won't solve anything! As long as I am around, you won't lay a single finger of Chrysalis, you hear me."

"Have you gone mad," Askad asked angrily, "he killed everyone, he ensured the complete extinction of our race."

"And he's in cahoots with the enemy because the British killed his sister," Odrus argued, "why should you all get your revenge when he can not."

Odrus knew that his friends would probably just kill Chrysalis when his back was turned, he knew he had to do something drastic. He turned to the insurgent and placed two fingers on his forehead, he closed his eyes and pictured an invisible line connecting them.

When he removed his fingers and opened his eyes, his right eye's sclera had turned an inky black, and so did Chrysalis's left sclera.

"There, I have made the connection," Odrus declared to his horrified friends, "if you kill him, I will die too, if you torture him, I will feel the same pain."

N:   Chrysalis was confused about what happened until he saw Odrus' eye and wondered out loud, "What happened to your eye?" He looked around, and when he saw his reflection in the glass bottle, his eyes widened, "what happened to my eye?"

However, the insurgent quickly regained his posture, and with this new gained protection against his death, he smirked, "Well, well, Odrus. I wouldn't have expected you to go that far," and when he looked over to the shocked faces he waved, "well it's nice of you to join the party."

"Odrus," Heinrich spoke up, "have you gotten the information for Ora, because if not, who knows if he would open his mouth."

M:   "What do you think I've been trying to do," Odrus growled, "but the fact that you all kept threatening him with death wasn't going to get us anywhere. Besides, there has been too much blood spilled this century, revenge won't change that, I know that better than anyone."

The other eternals were in too much shock to respond, they couldn't believe that their friend would betray them like that, Askad especially was furious but he was too shocked to show it.

"Get out," Odrus growled, his friends doing so without question. When they were gone, the eternal collapsed from exhaustion from both sharing his powers and creating the line with Chrysalis.

N:   Chrysalis just watched as Odrus fell, although he did feel a slight sensation on his head the moment the Eternal's hit the floor. Staring at him, he reached for the glass bottle and gripped the neck of it, a thought passing through his mind before he sighed and placed it back down. "You put me in a right pickle, Odrus," he muttered, pretty sure he can't hear him, "for the friend of my enemy is my enemy. I had an interesting time when I spent with you in the cave, and I loved the control that I had over you, but it seems it's the other way around."

The insurgent got up from his bed and knocked on the bars, getting the guards' attention. "The last time I checked he's not a prisoner," the insurgent stated, pointing at the sleeping Odrus, "get him out of my sight."
