Lost in Histerianz

〚 XIV 〛

"Artemis?? She used to be a slave?" I stood up once again.

"Not just a slave. The finest cold blooded gladiator Sedrebia has ever owned. Even though not as cruel as The Flowing Black Genoffa." he smirked and suddenly I felt goosebumps all over my body.

"That amazing skills... Ah... " Arthur began to distracted.

"Uh... That Genoffa? The girl earlier?" I snapped my fingers so he can focus again.

"Ah, sorry. And yes, she is. You'll instantly fell in love with her moves. So graceful." now I know that Arthur's easily got distracted.

"Please continue, about your past?" I begged and he nodded, "Sure."

"Years passed. When Amethyst was just 17 and I'm 13 years old, Amethyst heard the rumors of the bet between companies at the Dulgheru Coliseum.

I know that the owner of Sedrebia is an Omnerin. So, I asked Amethyst to go there and we bet for a gladiators from which company will win. Amethyst seems to enjoyed betting with me until Ilya, the director of Sedrebia and still in the clan Omnerin asked us for a competition bet.

We argued for a moment because we came there alone. We got no gladiator to fight for us. Suddenly Amethyst accepted and offered her as the fighter. I simply agreed and she came down to the arena. And met Artemis. I can't forget how Artemis looked as us. Her gaze was empty like she have no life expectancy.

When the referee shouted, the victorious Amethyst I've known has been defeated. I began to think that Amethyst wasn't that strong after all. All far as I know, when Amethyst challenge everyone or some idiot people challenge her, she always won. Well, that's just the natural character of the Saunnierres. Always so arrogant and too proud of themselves. Don't ask me when they're showing off their advantages. Super proud that sometimes people don't even want to befriend with the Saunnierres.

She's not dead but the huge scar on her face was from Artemis's axe.

Sedrebia trained their slaves by always obeyed their master and fought just for their master until they have lost their minds like Artemis that time. After the battle, I realized. Amethyst didn't really lost. She won by made Artemis realize and she brought Artemis's mind back.

What I saw is that when Artemis got her mind back, she looked at everyone with her truly self. Her turquoise blue eyes shines like a pure Aquamarine-"

*BAMMM!!!*

a loud slamming sound from a huge door cut Arthur's story. We turned around and I still can't believe what I saw.

A tall girl came in and shouted to Arthur, "Yes, it really looked like Aquamarine but her eyes are ocean blue, Arthur. Not turquoise blue!"

That voice... I remembered Artemis said that many people say her iris are turquoise blue. It's actually ocean blue, but because it was turquoise color, and many people randomly said it's turquoise, she let them call her iris turquoise. She herself doesn't care what people said so... Back to the girl.

The tall girl finally realized that I was in the room. She looked at me with a horror gaze. The Amethyst eyes widened up and her body froze for a moment and she went off like she was scared of me.

"Sis!! Wait!!!" Arthur stood up and went after her. He walked back at me and said,
"[y/n], I would like you to join me. I'll tell you my plan. I'm sure you'll agree." and then he left me all alone.

I can't do anything except thinking. Is that the real Amethyst? Why she's here? I thought she was with the others. I gave up thinking and look around. The library became quiet with no one inside, so I curiously stood up and look for a book that might help me with this situation.
