Man of Misfortune

A troublesome prisoner chapter 4

Maria let out a sigh of exhaustion as she sat on a comfortable sofa. Lily stood there, she wore light clothes, a white t-shirt, and shorts. Maria could see all the scars on Lily body and her well build muscles that she had.

>>You have a great body you know Lily? << Maria points out which Lily only let out a small chuckle replying with a smile: >>You say that often Maria<< she said as she sat beside Maria yawning out of boredom.

>>So, how did the interrogation go with the man?<< she asked Maria who immediately made a face that showed that she did not want to talk about it but Maria let out a sigh and then started to talk: >>It went not as good as I hoped it would he is like a doll he did not respond in any major way even my divine energy did not have any effect on him he seems to have lost the ability to even feel any sense of emotion at all even his pain receptors which functioned normally he did not react to any stimulation of my divine energy when it was intended to hurt him with him only pointing out and saying "stop with this as it is bothering me"<< Maria clenched her right hand as talking about that made her angry.

Lily let out a laugh hearing that which Maria looked at Lily angrily now frowning her eyebrows and saying a bit angry now: >>Stop laughing it isn't that funny Maria! If you were there you would also get angry<< she tried to show how serious that was and that it is actually something to get angry, but Lily just continued to laugh hearing that not stopping even when Maria wanted that to make it seemingly an important thing for her.

>>Well maybe he is a perfect fit for you did you not often see you like the quit type? << Lily said jokingly which Maria gave her a punch at her shoulder to show she got actually angry from it.

>>That was years ago Lily and forget quiet he feels more like Oryn undead then a living being<< She leaned on her arms that leaned on the table puffing her cheeks. Lily sighed seeing that she enjoyed teasing her friend like that as Maria was easy to tease amongst the group. However, seeing her being that angry just because of a random person that she found and is suspicious that was not something that would always happen which is why she wanted to tease her even more. Maria kept her cool whenever she could not want to get swayed away by her emotions as she was a priestess in the end and if she were to get constantly swayed away by her emotions it would be troublesome for her in the end.

>>Alright, alright I take it seriously now so what bothers you are that he is so emotionless? <<

>>It is not only that but just generally his lack of response it can give someone goosebumps I even got it especially when suddenly all the spirits would come out of him to attack<<

>>Huh spirits? So, he is a dark magician? <<

>>Yes, he is one, but it seems he has no actual control over the spirits not only that I 'am sure the spirits are the reason he is so emotionless << She was tapping her own chin and started to think about the conversation she held with Jack. Their conversation was dull and could not been called a proper conversation, it was more a one-sided one as Jack was not even talking, just a slight movement which she was sure that he did not understand a word that she said.

She tried asking her god after the conversation, but the words of her God did not do any help for her as she did not make much out of them. >A man that was dead but brought alive by powers not from a god...could it be he got resurrected by the Derons? < she wondered. The invaders are called Derons coming from old book speaking of legends where beings that were not made by the gods invading the planet to cause chaos.

She shook her head and Lily looked confused at her friend's behavior. >>Tell me what are you thinking? << she asked her friend, but Maria refused saying only the words: >>It isn't important I was just having useless thoughts<<
