Immortality (Sequel to Apprentice)

Chapter 20: Till death do us part

Note: Oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god It's so close to the big moment I've been planning! This is going to be full Tia's POV 'cause it's mostly about her :3 ALSO there might be some Sherlock references in here, so if you are a Sherlock fan, you will spot them:3

Tia's POV

Cisco glares at me, before sighing. "I suppose so" he says glumly. He glances over his shoulder to the bacca who is staring back at him, waiting patiently. "Come, Jerome. It is time to go to Mexxy." he orders. Jerome scowls before rising from his golden throne and following him. I stride after him. It was time.

Opening the doors of the castle, I am greeted once more by our little group. "What now?" Mitch asks quickly. "It's time to go get Ridge back" I smile, only turning to glare at Cisco. 

Cisco sighs, then snaps his fingers. A demigod who I know all too well pops up in front of us.

"Hey Kupo" I say. She smiles at me, nodding. We had only met on a few occasions, and we weren't exactly friends. More like...acquaintances. 

"Kupo, be a dear and teleport us all to Voxeltopia, please?" Cisco smiles. I realize the two of them are going out-awkward. Kupo was incredibly beautiful, with long, flowing jet black hair, kind blue eyes, and it all went nicely with her white leather jacket with ruffled sleeves, a pristine white blouse, and black tight leggings. She was the kind of girl Cisco would go after and I can see him gazing at her adoringly. 

"Yes sir" she says quietly, glancing around at the waiting party before clicking her fingers and there is a flash of white.

When it fades, I see we are in a beautifully designed room, which, judging from the over used black and white theme, was Kupo's quarters. It was beautifully designed, and I remembered Ridgedog telling me he had been good friends with Kupo in the past as he had been the one who recognized her building potential. 

"Follow me if you will" Cisco says, and we begin to follow him down the maze of corridors, each one incredibly designed. "This place is amazing" Duncan whispers. Cisco turns round to beam at him. "I know! Many talented builders come here to build these, and if this was any other type of meeting, I would be delighted to give you a tour, but..." Cisco turns his gaze to me, as if blaming me. "We have other things to attend to" he finishes before continuing walking.

"The Voxelbox began thousands of years ago when a demigod who no one knows where he came from, descended onto the Earth. He twisted it for himself, until he fell in love with a girl, whom he managed to turn into a demigod also so she could stay alive forever. And so they continued on the line, having children and recruiting more demigods. Soon, most of the demigods became friends, but some became enemies. A monarchy was put in place-Voxeltopia. And so began centuries of ruling, with different kings on the throne."

Cisco was explaining the VoxelBox history, but I really didn't care at this point in time.

"I really don't care, can we just go to Mexxy?" I snap. Cisco sighs a heavy sigh. "Impatient, aren't you? Fine. We're here now anyways." he says, opening the grand quartz doors to reveal the grand hall.

The last time I had been here, I had attacked demigods and killed quart gods, and stabbed their king. The time before that was to revive Ridge from the dead. This was not a place of good memories for me, and I swallow loudly.

The hall was beautiful, of course. I would of noticed it immediately if I had had time to, but I had been too busy on both occassions to pay too much notice to the grand and majestic design to this place. I could still note some of Ridgedog's favourite building patterns, such as the chandelier, and some of the windows. I grit my teeth, looking away from it all. Soon, I would be reunited with him. But for now, it was time to meet the devil.
