⨊ merely stated those as a means to drive Ian away, but didn't expect him to agree to be marked, especially a slave mark. ⧚It will be excruciatingly painful.⧚ said ⨊ with a cold smile. ⧚No matter how severe it will be, I will nevertheless wish for you to mark me.⧚ said Ian. ⧚The slave mark will be eternal. You can never quit being my slave and can never die. Except if I killed you myself.⧚ said ⨊. ⧚I will never desire or wish to stop being by your side and serving you.⧚ said Ian. (Is he as a dolt? Why is he accepting everything I say? Fine, since he wishes to be my slave, so be it. That will be his punishment for hurting me and lying to me.)
Suddenly the place they were in altered. ⨊ brought Ian to a special ௹ace that belonged to her, that no one could enter unless she wished. ⨊'s form changed into the one she described as her monster form. Ian realized that ⨊ had brought him here to mark him. Seeing her original form made him feel as though she would leave at any moment. It made him aware of the distance between them. He wanted to embrace her, to know that she won't disappear from his side.
⧚Afraid?⧚ came a stern voice that was neither male nor female. ⧚No.⧚ said Ian. ⧚Did you think I was lying when I told you I would place a slave mark on you?⧚ ⧚No.⧚ ⧚Still desire a salve mark?⧚ ⧚Yes.⧚ said Ian kneeling. ⧚It will be eternal.⧚ ⧚Understood.⧚ ⧚The pain you will feel while getting the mark will forever remain in your memory. You will eternally feel a fraction of it. To remember who you belong to and to recognize the weight of the mark.⧚ said ⨊. ⧚Understood.⧚ said Ian. ⧚You will be bound to a monster like me.⧚ ⧚Understood.⧚ said Ian becoming happy at the notion. At least he could be with ⨊, even if she despised him. Even if he could only observe her from a distant, at least he would be bound to her.
