Leader
I stood quietly in the center of my tower. Deathly Silent. I hated him. Hated Triskix. I hated him for trying to kill me by killing himself. How dare he make a mockery of my power. And I had made him suffer for it. Yes....I had made him suffer for it.
When I located him, he was already weakened from using whatever technique he had used. It was then that I proceeded to make him pay. To shove him close enough to death without actually dying. I ripped apart his scars drenching his flesh in his ow red blood. I tore at his arteries and veins without discrimination.
And when he had reached a point....I had stopped. Any more and he would have escaped me into death. And I wouldn't allow for that. No. I wouldn't allow for that.
I appeared before him. Triskix. Drenched and drowning in his own blood. I stood in front of him glaring into what I could not see and yet knew in existence what was there. I smiled down a bit. I was. Master of his death if I chose to be. Or giver of his life if I chose to be. And he just stared back at me waiting for it. Waiting for Death's loving embrace. But no. I wouldn't allow for that. No. I was not that kind. No. I would keep him in the world to watch as he suffered.
“You’re lucky,” I smiled down at him. Although I couldn't see him....I knew what face he was making....that rebellious face that had come to pass. “That you didn’t fade in your own blood…….You lost more than half your blood.”
Triskix tried to bring life into himself, and I had to hold back a laugh as he failed.
“I’m surprised I didn’t finish you,” I continued. “But. I am not so merciful that I would do that. No. You must hold you end of the pact until the Cypher is done.
I could hear more blood pooling in the ground. There would be a blossoming of blood-grass on this level before long.
“You couldn’t,” Triskix started laughing. “As part of the pact…..if I die before it’s done…..you will too….”
I felt my face lighten up in pure delight.
“On the contrary Triskix,” I answered. “I have made twenty five new pacts. Twenty-five pacts that will ensure my life. Even if I decide to kill you now, I won’t die.”
Air hit Triskix's lungs like a sack of rocks hitting an iron floor.
“If you ever try to end me again,” I spat. “I will end you first. Now….”
I opened a portal just under Triskix. It would take him to the nearest cluster of nobodies and no doubt they would get him to the infirmary.
Before I had turned to go back to my tower....I had to stop. Ever so carefully....and kneel down. My fingers ran through the thick pool of blood. It was warm and lovely. The Living's sentiment to Death. Blood. I shoved my hand further into the puddle and finally pulled it out. Even the smell of blood was lovely. I took in the smell and smiled.
I stood again and opened a portal while my hand dripped of Triskix's blood like water running off my fingers. As I entered the central tower again. I was released into silence again..
And here I stood now. Here I stood completely content. Filled with a new hope. Of some sort.....of something that I wanted to happen. As I stood there, I felt him come through a portal.
"Hello Xerebus,"I smiled.
Xerebus stepped through silently.
"Xraktos," Xerebus started.
I turned around sharply reading his voice.
"You're doing something aren't you?"I glared blindly. A few of the lesser nobodies in the room allowed me to see Xerebus clearly.
"The plan must be changed," Xerebus said quietly. "There are things at work, and I need at least a week and a half before I can hand over my Organization....."
Ifelt a new rage run through me like a wild-fire. But in a minute I drenched the fire. There was a explanation. I knew there was. Xerebus wanted to bring Martel back as much as I did. Maybe not for the same reasons.....but still.
"You realize you're violating your promise," I said coldly. "The one you promised oh what now.....450 years ago? Somewhere in there? You promised to bring Martel back as soon as possible. You promised her. Why the sudden freeze of time? Is something truly more?"
"Shut your mouth!" Xerebus yelled. "I remember what I promised and I understand that! But I need more time!"
"Time," I answered. "...........Fine. Time. Time. Time. Time. Time. Time. I will give you time. But in that time. I hope you know what Martel is going through in that hell."
"SHUT UP KRATOS!" Xerebus yelled.
I silenced. All that was in the room was the sound of breathing.
"One week and a half," I said to the silence of the room. "And if not. I will pull the plug on you even getting withing twenty five miles of Martel."
Xerebus remained silent. I remained silent. And in the silence, Xerebus left. I was left with range. And the sound of my breathing.
