Redemption

Chapter 24

"If I do this one thing for you I will go to Caelum along with my parents," Azalea confirmed.

"Yes."

From the corner of her eye, she could see Acrux briefly closing his eyes, he did not like this at all. He can burn for all I care, my parents deserve this.

"I want to ask why can't you just snap your fingers and everything will be solved."

"I could do that, or I can watch you struggle just to reach your goal. Your effort is so inspiring, it does get quieter and more boring around here. You've kept things interesting in the short while you've been here. Who knows what dreadful things I would have done to dn my boredom." He smirked, his crown glinting.

This is just a game to him, none of us are worth anything. Psychotic fucker.

"Now, Azalea, it is rude to curse someone in their own home. But what else did you do except I am not a fuzzy and cuddly bear? You all mean nothing to me, simply a form of entertainment, get in your head. This is a great way to start Samaels punishment, he basically begged for it. By the way, if you slip up there and accidentally fall into any of the springs or the mouth of the volcano you will be stuck there for eternity, and you will burn to death and melt every single day. So do be careful." he said undisturbed.

Gawking she immediately regretted her decisions, but it was too late for that now. She had to go through with it. How hard could it be? It's just a really tall mountain, with random springs of hot lava. Should be easy.

"Take your friend's head, Azalea and good luck. Acrux, take her to the mountain" Iram ordered.

Azalea clutched Sameal's hair, her fingers digging into his scalp, the body was already starting to smell, so she yanked up her mask hoping to filter out the stench. Acrux walked over, his face expressionless, grabbing her hand they were transported to the base of the mountain.

"Are you fucking insane, Azalea," Acrux hissed out.

"Apparently I am, and it is none of your concern what I choose. What's the worst that could happen? I get burned alive for eternity over and over again. To be honest I expected worse." she said, annoyed.

"This is not the time to joke. You had what you wanted a breath away, and you ask for more knowing it will cost you something. You never cease to surprise me."

"Glad we're on the same page now, wait who are you to judge me you ignored me the entire time back there, maybe if you gestured or something I would have caught on and not made another deal that will most likely end with my death. But alas, you turn into a shell of a person in the presence of your king," she said.

"I owe everything to him and I would not betray him nor his intentions for you, but I still expected that you would have half a brain and act logically, but apparently not. Go ahead the hourglass starts the second your foot touches the base of the mountain. Do not fall."
