Love Rekindled From The Ashes

Brain Probing

Shiori pov: "Are you Miori?" I ask

"Yes?" The girl said this as she looked up at me.

"Good..." I say

I launched at her, and she got up, jumping backwards quickly in shock. "Huh?"

I exhaled, "Let me see your memories..." I say

"No!" Miori yelled

"Come here and just give me a hug." I say

"How cute, or should I say Moe?" Miori said

"That isn't me..." I tell her.

"Shiori!!!" Irys yelled

"Princess, give me a moment!" I shout

I used Yorick to shoot tendrils at her, and she rushed around the room to dodge them. "You really want to fight!?" She yelled

"I just want to absorb your knowledge."

Miori sighed "I don't want that..."

"You don't have a choice..." I growl

The tendrils wrapped around her, and I jumped at her, reaching for her head slowly. "Shiori, stop it!!!" Princess yelled

"Why?" I ask.

"You are going to harm her, aren't you?" Irys-senpai yelled at me.

"Maybe... but I don't care," I said.

Miori punched me in the face, and I glared at her. "You can't touch me!" She yelled. I made Yorick tighten the restraints, and I placed my hand on her head again, visually absorbing her knowledge.

"Stop it!!!" My princess screamed.

I got flashes of something in my head...

Being chained and tethered down isn't fun. The gods decided to lock people away because of "sins," but that isn't something we should be locked away for.

I am overly fatigued as I have been deprived of sleep for the past couple of days. My brain keeps aching from all the knowledge I have absorbed over the years.

It's irritating because if I'm such a dangerous being, then why am I not being guarded? There has been no one who has come here in ages; this prison is abandoned. Besides, a couple of time convicts are placed in this hell hole.

Day by day, I can feel my natural black hair becoming grayer and grayer since I have nothing to do other than read books and gain more information to fill my noggin with. I swear to the gods that, at this point, I have found enlightenment.

"This is so infuriating..." I commented I tried to move around in the chair I was latching onto, but I couldn't.

I felt my companion, Yorick, drip and crawl up my arm until it was at my shoulder. It somehow became unsealed, which is good because maybe I can escape if that is the case.

I jostled around and got a bit more comfortable on my prison throne. "Yorick, can you do me a favor and help me get out?" I asked with great affection.

Chnk... I heard the sound of the energy chain dissipating as it snapped, but as soon as I could move my left hand, it was already tied back up by the obnoxious chain.

I sighed with serious dejection at the sight. "I'm never escaping, huh?" I questioned the gods.

If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be able to have a relationship. I want love in my life. I want a family and a pet. It's not that Yorick can't fulfill a few of those needs for me; it's just that I need more.

"Argn..." I ground as a throbbing, agonizing pain entered my head. So many new presences at once had entered the premises, but for what reason?

"I need to escape-come on, get out of here!" I cried out to myself, trying to give myself the strength to break the chains myself.

I felt a liquid drip down my face all of a sudden. It wasn't because I am particularly sad; it was on impulse. I am too empathetic, even towards myself.

"In this place, all I want is to get out and have a life, make new friends, find someone I love-anything but sit here and rot in this place!" I yelled

All of a sudden, Yorick somehow snapped all the chains in two. As soon as I noticed, I lunged out of the chair, looking around, expecting an alarm to go off, but alas, nothing. This place has still been abandoned by humans.

I swiftly gazed around until I found the armory where all the convicts gear was kept. I used a simple spell to unlock the door and stepped in, locating my book with the hidden bookmark inside.

"Wait... you were a gaurd!" I scream at her

"Oh so you saw..." She laughed

She was staring at me all the way...

I can't believe it I really can't believe what I'm seeing I really can't this woman is the reason as to why I was still in that damn chair.

This is war at this point this is war this has to be war...

I have to think about what I need to do with her...

"What the hell are you doing!?" Bae-senpai asked

I glared at her and sighed "hello.." I said

Miori's body fell to the ground she was unconscious and I stared at Bae-senpai and Princess-senpai

"What did you do to Miori!?" Bae asks

"Nothing that wasn't justified..." She said

"You are going to pay..." Bae scoffed

"Oh then come here..." I growl

Bae ran at me and I wrapped Yorick around her placing my hand on her head "go to sleep..." I told her

I began to absorb her knowledge as well it didn't make sense to me but still I didn't really care at all.

"Shiori..." Princess mumbled

"You know what knowledge does?" I ask

"Yes..." She said

"It makes you crazy..." we said in unison

I clearly have gone crazy. This is my brain it is filled with knowledge and shit....

"I'm hungry..." I told her

"Oh?" Irys-senpai said

"Princess... you are adorable" I caressed her face and then I took a deep breath "sorry..." I said

I moved my hand she wondered why I didn't absorb her knowledge but that's because I don't know myself.
