We all didn't get much sleep in Wrath's realm, mostly because of Wrath himself with his screaming and his futile attempts to get out of the cage I'd placed on him.
We all decided it was time to get up and leave when the sky appeared lighter and Wrath's screaming began again.
With a groan, I sat up and stretched out my marble wings. My eyes took in Sagiv who was starting to get up with Akyra stretching her little owl wings as well. Laveda was nearby helping Slick collect his things and handing me the blankets back so I could put them in our fairly beaten up bag on Sagiv's back.
When everyone was set, I turned to Slick and asked the question that had nagged at me all night.
"Where is Lysander located?"
The old goat blew out a sigh and glanced around the huge desert land. He looked concerned and I began to wonder if he even knew where it was, but when Wrath began his banging and screaming Slick snapped out of his stupor.
"Sadly, the location of Lysander is...unknown.. However I think we could torture Wrath into giving up the location. I know he knows that Lysander is the person we're after, not just us saving the world."
I nodded my head and flitted into the crater. The second I landed, Wrath slammed into the bars with a snarl.
"What do you want?!" He spat, eyes wild.
"Tell me where Lysander is," I said calmly.
"Ha! What do I get out of it?" Wrath sneered, ramming into the bars again only to have them not bend, just like before.
"Perhaps a shorter time in that cage, if you cooperate." My eyes remained level with his and I saw him thinking things over.
His eyes flashed seconds later and I realized he had an answer.
"I think I'll just let you figure it out on your own." He smirked, eyes black with anger and hatred.
I returned his smirk and muttered, "How about 'no'."
With that my palms heated up and I released a shot of white. It entered through Wrath's bars and nailed him right in the chest. He let out a shriek and got up, I heard the sky rumble overhead, but I wasn't concerned.
"Are you going to tell now?" I growled out, eyes glowing red I was sure.
"Hmmm," he said, prolonging his answer until he saw my palms glow again. "Alright, alright. Lysander is through my desert. Whenever and if you can reach the end there is the Beyond and in it a cave. Somewhere in that elaborate cave Lysander awaits."
"Thank you," I muttered and spread my wings, preparing to fly away.
"Wait! What about my early release?" Wrath asked, almost pleadingly now.
"You don't get one, you never cooperated the way I wanted you to," I said, flying out and hearing Wrath's loud, angered scream followed by the slam of his body against the cage bars.
"Get it out of him?" Laveda asked, flinching as she heard Wrath slam against the bars yet again.
The idiot.
I nodded. "Get prepared to travel.. Apparently Lysander is located at the end of this desert, however fucking long it is anyway, and Lucifer only knows what dangers are in it... Because I'm sure if Wrath doesn't have any traps or creatures, this Lysander will. It's obvious he doesn't want to be found or isn't suppose to be found."
"Indeed," Slick murmured, settling himself for the walk.
"All set?"
The each of them nodded and we set off through the now blazing desert, leaving a shrieking Wrath behind.
