Unspeakable

Chapter 14: The Gift

This chapter will be from Sebastian's POV, because I want to keep some things secret until we get to later on.

Sebastian stepped in quickly and shut the door behind him, sighing with relief when Ominis was standing there waiting for him. He was looking around with wide eyes, holding his wand up.

"What do you see?" He asked curiously.

"Golden light... everywhere." He said breathlessly. "Streams of it, all through the room."

Sebastian looked around, but saw nothing out of the ordinary other than the fountain in the distance. What else did Ominis normally see that others didn't?

"Now, first thing, she's going to look like Diane, but that's definitely not Diane." Sebastian started.

"Okay..." Ominis said anxiously.

"Don't tell her she can't do something, because she'll get angry. Because yeah she definitely can. Doesn't matter what it is."

"Okay." Ominis nodded.

"And last... try to be nice. Even if she says something crazy. And she'll be really flirty."

"Great. Because you know I do so well with that." Ominis said flatly. With anyone but Diane, a woman being flirty made the poor guy freeze up anxiously.

"Ready?" Sebastian asked after a deep breath to try and prepare himself.

"As I'll ever be." Ominis sighed, looking back up at watching the golden light he'd mentioned.

"Alright, follow me." He said, walking forward down the long hallway toward the fountain at the end. As soon as it was in view Ominis flinched and covered his eyes instinctively, but that of course didn't help him at all. Instead he put his wand behind his back, sighing in relief. "It's so damn bright!"

"What is?" Sebastian asked, looking at the fountain.

"I don't know, I can't even see what it is, it's so bright." Ominis said, trying to bring his wand back forward before flinching again and putting it behind him. "Ugh, am I going to have to do this on my own?"

Sebastian looked over to the fountain thoughtfully. "Maybe the amortentia is part of her... and she's really powerful, so it would make sense that her magic would be bright to you. It looks like you might, because she'll come from inside the fountain."

"This keeps getting worse." Ominis muttered unhappily, putting his wand in his pocket and closing off the connection. "Don't leave me down here in the dark, okay?" He said anxiously.

"Of course not. Come on," Sebastian took his wrist and gently guided him forward, stopping just in front of the fountain. "We have to take a drink from it."

"I'm going to drink the super powerful magic stuff?" Ominis asked skeptically. "No wonder you're so messed up after doing this each time."

"That's not even the actual entity." Sebastian chuckled. "Now, I'll take a sip first, then you."

"Alright." Ominis said nervously.

Sebastian took a sip, and Love started rising from the fountain as normal, but once he handed the cup to Ominis and he took a drink.

MY POET! Love shouted happily, the amortentia splashing against the sides of the fountain and drenching both of them.

"Ugh!" Ominis yelled in shock at being covered in the sticky liquid, Sebastian looking akin to a wet, angry cat.

Sorry dears, I got a bit too excited. Love chuckled happily, stepping from the fountain again, Sebastian still saw her as the more realistic Diane, though her eyes were bright pink instead of Diane's normal pale green. She waved a hand and the amortentia ran from their clothes and skin back into the fountain, leaving them perfectly dry.
