Entropy

Chapter nineteen: The King

Wamuu walked quietly through the castle, he had very much enjoyed his time with the human woman. She had even invaded his dreams. He knew he was not the only one who enjoyed her presence, Santana seemed to gain comfort from her presence. The blond warrior had seen how Santana's feral side was quieted thanks to the patience and caring attention given to him by the blind woman. The wind warrior had felt the calming feeling when she was giving him attention before they went to sleep. He still felt the gentle sensation of her petting his head. "Dammit.," Wamuu muttered quietly. He walked and found Kars talking to Esidisi. The leader of the pillar men looked to Wamuu, he could smell the human on Wamuu.
"Your pet is very curious. She was investigating my room earlier.," Kars spoke. "My apologies, lord Kars.," Wamuu apologized. Esidisi laughed, "With a pet like that, you really can't keep her from exploring her environment, especially with her power." Kars walked by Wamuu, "I'm staying behind this time. Go spar and feed at your leisure tonight." "Yes, master Kars.," the blond warrior spoke. The kingly man walked on, leaving his subjects behind.

Esidisi had a bit of a smile on his face, "You and Santana seem pretty close to the pet. It's pretty cute." "(Y/n)'s companionship is not unpleasant.," Wamuu spoke. The darker skinned man made a raspy chuckle, "Where is the little dove? She's not with you." "She is with Santana.," the wind warrior replied, "I look forward to our sparring." "For training or seeing who is the better of you?," Esidisi teased. Wamuu did not give Esidisi any answer, but the small changes to his expression showed everything, this made the dark skinned warrior snicker. They heard the footfalls of their youngest member and the pet that accompanied him.
Santana walked towards them with the human woman following, her eyes closed and her hands clutching Santana's arm. (Y/n) made sure to keep away from Esidisi as she walked with Santana. She had enough of his harassment. She felt the blue eyes of Esidisi watch her walk up with Santana, she felt Wamuu's green eyes as well. "Santana, you're leaving the pet here. Lord Kars is staying behind tonight.," Esidisi ordered the Youngest pillar man. Santana looked to the woman holding onto his arm, "Be good." "I will.," she replied and let go of his arm. She followed the three to the castle entrance to see them off.

She waved to Santana and Wamuu as they looked back to her as they left. She clutched her hand over her chest after they disappeared into the night, "Be safe." The blind woman fixed her veil and returned to the dark interior of the old castle. She carefully avoided rotten boards and spiderwebs. Her heeled boots were a blessing, no more need to find ways to keep her feet warm or worry about splinters. She just needed to find Kars. The young woman walked and found herself in front of a few Vampires who were holding weapons, they had been tasked with sharpening and polishing the weapons. "Excuse me.," (y/n) spoke to the small group of vampires, "Do you happen to know where master Kars is?"
"Oh, the pet.," One of the vampires said in a bit of surprise, "I think he's in the library. Down that way, to the right, fifth door on the left. It's the last room and the largest. You can't miss it." "Thank you.," she bowed to the vampire and walked to the library. Her footsteps were alone during her walk there. She followed the vampire's directions and arrived at the library. She took a breath and opened the door, "Master Kars?" "I am here, human. You did not make a mess out out vampires again, I hope.," she heard his voice speak. The blind woman stepped in and shut the door behind her.

She let Entropy out to look around. The room was large with books lining the shelves that were set up all over. Furniture was placed all around the room for leisurely reading. On one of the large couches was Kars himself. His head had his dark wrap on it. His chest was bare and his usual minimal clothing. (Y/n) sat on another couch and took a breath before letting it out to calm herself down. The others had left. Leaving her with Kars and some vampires. She did not feel any malice from him, yet she did sense that he had only minimal amusement from her companionship. The blind woman started to look for the stone again with her ability. Her mind was travelling again trough countries in order to find any sign of this enigmatic stone.
"Human.," She heard the voice of Kars speak, "My shoulders and neck feel a little stiff. Massage them." (Y/n) got up and walked behind Kars. She hesitated a bit before placing her hands on his shoulders and rubbing them. His body felt like a marble statue covered by a layer of silicone. He was so tense. Kars kept reading, not giving any instruction or indication of what to do or where to focus on. The blind human woman massaged her captor's large and muscular shoulders. She did not feel like her small hands could effectively get his muscles as he wanted. So, she called out the tentacles of her stand to help her.
