The Void

Hazy Reflections

It's unwise to throw  a fist when there is mist .....

Time was an important asset.One had to be on the same side with time not against him.Mogan knew this quite well and he intended to use this knowledge in his favour.He would be calculating with the two masters-Poseidon and Warren.

"You do know you have no choice but to talk right?"Mogan coldly asked Sheefa.In her slumped position,she almost looked non-existent.It was as if her last shred of life was dangling on a rope.

"I could snap your head in a second you see,so start talking."He continued with his slow calculating threats as he paced round the suspended Sheefa.

"Be my guest!"She snapped at him.For once they locked eyes and the defiant expression on Sheefa quickly changed to shock and familiarity."

"Seen a ghost or something you like? "Mogan asked while letting out a chuckle.

"Why would the emperor send some bush man to come and interrogate me ha! Such heights of insolence."Sheefa barked at Mogan.

"Whoa! If am a bush man then don't you think I should call you bushmeat with the way you suspended for anyone to devour?"Mogan's voice was full of malice and a sick kind of humour.

He hated waiting but still he held on knowing all too well how time was a vital element.

There was something wrong with the lady.He couldn't put a finger on it but he  knew it was there.

"Now am scared!"Sheefa mocked Mogan knowing not that she had sparked something dangerous and unearthly in him.

Control and Mogan weren't exactly best of friends right now.He hated being stepped on and demeaned.It always resulted in the awakening of the beast in him.Mockery? The world seemed to shift as he remembered how silver eyes had teased him.How the fierce kitten had fled from him after witnessing the monster in him.He was  slowly losing it and he knew it.

The good thing is he wasn't unleashing the beast at the orders of his master.This was his own doing.

"Now let's make you start talking."He said as the violet in his eyes swirled and danced as they darkened to  pitch black. He only needed to lock eyes with her so as to make her blood boil.

He would let the power seize him only for the kitten's image to appear in his mind.Why on earth did she make him suppress this monstrous side of him? It was hazy, unclear but he dared not explore those thoughts.Right now, he was fighting an inner struggle his eyes still held by Sheefa's.

Hers were accusatory and filled with fear.

"I knew I had seen you.You are the man that took her with you,aren't you?"She asked as her temperature raised  a couple degrees.

Realization hit Mogan real hard.This was the girl from the woods. She had seen much than she should have.Wait if they were searching for a mistress,then kitten was all along the mistress!!!!

"Your eyes darkened as they have now. Wh...what are you?" She stammered.Were it not for the chains bounding her,she would have cringed and fled from him.

Was this her past getting to her but in a new light?

"You remember not what you see,you will tell what there was to see."Mogan tried a hypnotizing trick on her.All this while holding her eyes with his.She told him all and that's when it dawned on him that there was definitely a battle brewing up among the gods.

After spilling all she knew,Mogan let her  sink into deep slumber.Upon awakening all her previous thoughts would be hazy.

He blocked all he knew from his mind.Kitten seemed to dominate a large part of all this but even so he stashed this disturbing thoughts as he let himself out of the dungeon.He would tell Warren a fabricated story.After all,the crooked feed on what's crooked.

In due time he would use this piece information.Right now,he would look for the fierce kitten and keep his fists in his pocket.

They would not know what hit them and from which direction.It would be a deliberate misguided 'Hailstorm!'

"Beau,I can't see you!!" Heather screamed at the hiding brother.

They had been playing and as the little girl skipped on the stepping stones on a shallow stream,she fell and scraped her knee.

Her face contorted in pain as she started crying.Beau must have heard her whimpers for he was there in a matter of seconds hugging her small back.

"Smile up baby girl,look you ugly when crying."He somewhat tried to comfort his sister as he pointed at their reflection in the water.

With that,she lit up as she splashed water on him.

"Ma'will definitely be angry with her two wet children."Beau said as they hugged and stared again at the water.
This time the ripples made their reflection look hazy!
