Man of Misfortune

The wandering doll

>>What will I do with you here<< Maria said as she looked at Jack. She found him moving around aimlessly when she went down to chain him down, so he won't escape he only looked at her showing not a slight sign of emotion. He stood there like a doll like one that has not any desires.

Then all of a sudden black smoke appeared out of Jack body and she saw how a thing manifested right in front of her eyes. The thing gave off an ominous feeling that made her fear it slightly even.

>>My what a cute mortal you are<< it said and touched the head of Maria. She felt how something got cut off and her divine energy disappeared.

>>What!?<< she said out aloud and then looked at the being. Its head made out of black flames so its hands. Its hands grabbed her dark blue hair. >>Excuse the rudeness of mine but I did not want your god to hear our conversation you understand it right? << he asked the question, but Maria could not answer right now there was just this force on her stopping her to say even a single word.

>>Right now, he is not in the right state you could say he is more in a trance to describe it lightly. This is the payment for losing his emotions against the spirits. In this world it is not what happens, but he is a special case unlike you all<<

The force then disappeared she touched her throat as she looked at the being. She was soaked in her own sweat already as the force was intense it was a terrifying feeling to be under the pressure of something like that. This thing was not something that she could take on and she was sure that it was something none of the friends could also take on. This made her want to know only more what it was and why it was stuck with that prisoner.

>>I hope you all watch over him well<< with it saying that she looked at the thing confused. It wanted them to look for this prisoner, but she did not understand why it valued him so much. But it then said: >>I do not mean you need to treat him with respect I do not care for such things you can even bother killing him<<

It grabbed Jack throat and cut it open. The blood of his got out and hit right at her eyes she blinked and rubbed the blood out from her eyes and saw how Jack throat regenerated. The being then looked at Maria once more.

>>Of course, you all can try killing him, but it would be hard to do so he has many lives to spare<< This act of killing the same human that it said they should watch over. Maria could not understand the logic of that being what it wanted to say with that if this was just an act of simple showing that they can't kill the man in conventional ways. The being was disappearing into a cloud of dark mist and spoke one last sentence to her: >>I hope that this act of you all will be interesting as watching over him has become boring especially now him lacking emotions<<.

When the being disappeared, she looked at Jack he looked at Maria just standing there he resembled that of a broken doll. Jack was about to stand up but Maria upon seeing that immediately asked: >>Where are you going? <<.

Jack looked at her eyes seeing deep into her yellow eyes they had a dark yellow color. >>I want to explore<< he said it in differently and what he felt like as his current desire. There was no logical thinking there was only emptiness in his eyes.

>>Well you want to explore but wouldn't you like to explore more peacefully without anyone bothering you? << She wanted to see if she could convince him not to run off. She felt how her divine energy was returning. The voice of her god started to ask her why the connection had been cut off so suddenly.

>Did he not see it? < she was thinking to herself, and a shudder is what she felt. If that thing she met was something that her god did not see for whatever reason that was dangerous enough. She looked back at Jack who was close to her face only centimeters away.

>>More peaceful exploring? << he asked looking at her a way that could be described as him wanting to know what she meant with that. She saw that she had his attention which was good for now as that meant he would not run off without her able to stop him.

>>If you do what I say I will make sure that you can explore the place without any big trouble<< she said it with a smirk.

>>Ok, I understand<<

>He seems more like a dog now...< she did not know why but she somehow understood what the being meant. Even if she was terrified by the being it understood somewhat it meant saying that this prisoner was boring this state of his as how emotionless he is reacting to things. How he seems to have no ambition except doing what he currently wants like a thing created for the purpose of just doing what it wants currently but not intending to understand the consequences because it cannot understand them. He resembled a stray dog that does things when it likes the ideas given to it.

>Explaining that to the others will be hard< she sighed.
