My heart breaks for Tabi, I've never had a mate and I know Witches don't have mates but they do have their Chosen and makes a bond of their own magically.
Tabi releases me and looks at me with tears in her eyes " how do you know of my Teo " " I saw him, I saw you and others in a vision, in a war with the Reapers Nation " " she had a vision, after looking in the book, so that explains why the book was blank, it manifested to her as a vision but now the words are back "
I look away from Tabi and down at the book and the once empty pages are now filled with words, " how does that even happen Tabi? " " I do not know my child, I have never seen it happen before either but now you have your answer do you not? " I nod slowly.
Tabi has since wiped her eyes and looked like her normal self again, an extends a hand to me " I must show you something but we will have to be quiet and quick okay? don't talk and try to control your breathing because there are very sensitive creatures there, do you understand? " " I understand "
One of the others gives us cloaks " stand guard here at the gateway " " take this rope and tie it around you so you can find your way back " we do so, and Tabi chants while we stand in front of a mirror and the once solid mirror now has ripples like waves all over it, she steps through first and I follow after her.
A draft a cold wind brushes by me blowing my cloak open and I shiver, my goodness where is this place? I look around and I can hardly see anything, the land is barren and feels like clay dirt that sticks to the bottom of your shoe, Tabi holds my hand and leads me forward after ensuring we're safely fastened to the rope given to us before we came through.
I follow her along and we lay low as I see we're walking basically along a cliff side over looking what seems to be some sort of settlement with a palace of sorts at the centre of it.
Lord Umi
I finally retire for the evening after a long day at the office, even though the businesses are just for show I do put my all into it as I quite enjoy the success and gratification that comes along with it plus having the money is a bonus, it means I can build new businesses and extend my reach and expand my domain too, like a Chameleon hiding in plain sight.
I got home and Astrid was there waiting for me sulking, considering I have been getting my satisfaction from my Jablesses I suppose I had been neglecting her so I showered, had dinner with her and gave her what she wanted, rounds of d*ck until she fell asleep, I then entered my room and into my domain.
I shower as soon as I get into my chambers then walk over to my balcony, it's been a while since I've sat here and had a drink with a few moments to myself undisturbed.
I put my robe on and grab a drink from my cabinet as well as a glass and pour myself some Whiskey, I sit down and take my first sip " ahh that's the good stuff " I was about to take another swig when a scent hit my nose, I take the glass away from my nose and inhale, my Hades what is this smell, I've never scented anything like this before, not on the outside world and certainly not in here.
I feel drunk as I stand on the balcony ready to leap off in search of that scents origins when I lose it, it's moving away, " no! "I leap off the balcony and land on the ground below me then take off running following the fading scent as it moves further and further away from me, I look up because it seems the scent is being carried down wind from the cliffs above.
I leap, quickly making an ascend up the cliff side, I must find what this sinful scent is, once I get to the top of the cliff it's gone I look around frantically but the scent is completely gone " fkkkkkkk! " I angrily make my way back to the palace and into the front entrance, everyone is startled to see me as they know I should be in my room and asleep by now but here I am in my robe, bare footed and muddy.
I grab hold of one of the helpers hand and drag her along with my back up to my room, that scent made me so lust filled I feel like I'm about to go crazy.
I push my chamber door open and close it with a slam which makes the servant flinch " stay right there " " yes Lord Umi " she whimpers I head to the bathroom to have another quick shower and emerge with a towel wrapped around me and my hair still wet.
"It would seem Mali used your eyes to either spy on you or keep you from seeing the truth, had you been normal you would not have been so easily fooled by the fake mate bond and may have even gone back to seek your pup and true mate, though I do not understand her methods and reasonings, I mean what could have possibly been her goal or end game?" "Well there is only one way to find out, Gyahan can you provide our star prisoner with a meal, you can give her the serum to mix into it" he reaches into his chest and pulls out a small bottle and passes it to Gyahan "oo oo it's so cold oo oo oo" she runs off carrying the bottle. "What a funny little one" I chuckle "you have no idea" after a few minutes a mindlink comes through my mind 'she's eaten your majesty' she snickers through the link 'she practically inhaled the food' "my very naughty attendant has notified me that our prisoner has eaten, shall we go see her or should I have her brought here?" "It is best to limit her interaction
I immediately close the gate way, I'm on shoots up and runs over to Cass "hey, are you okay?" Cass observes her hands then looks around the room before smiling and answering Simon "I am fine", there is something about her that just doesn't feel right to me and I walk over to them and stare at her "who are you?" Simon looks up at me half confused and half annoyed it would seem, "what do you mean who are you my Lord? it is Cass, I did everything you told me and I found her and brought her back" ignoring Simon, "tell me something that Cass would know" there is a pause and even Simon casts her a curious stare "Cass?" "you almost beat me to death! is that good enough?!" "it is not but I will let it slide, I must go, can I speak to you for a minute Simon" He follows me out of ear shot "I am still not convinced that is Cass, are you sure you got the right one?" "yes I am positive" "was there even a fraction of a minute you took your eyes off her?" "uhm, n- yes when she tripped as I was le
Tacamorga is summoned to my war room, he is my Head Hunter, and I am very proud of him, his fetes are unlike any other in my ranks, he's huge, even more so than I am at least 6 ft 8" and built like a tank, his skin is littered with scars and tattoos and he wears a Red eye patch over his right eye, he says it helps him focus and shoot better at his target, he is a man of very few words, I saved him from descending and he has been faithful to me ever since.It is obvious if he was on his way down to the depths it means he did not live a good life while he was living and judging from his skills, he was either a bounty hunter, assasssin or just a murderer for sport either which way it works out perfectly fine for me."Taca, I need you to take Six of your hunters and bring me as much as you can, take non lethals with you because what we need is more soilders not carnage, be cautious and don't get caught, the packs will be on high alert now so be very careful""Understood my Lord, but if I
"For you all the punishment will be Ten strokes with the rod of correction!" those around me cry out for mercy for them because chances are you will descend if you aren't strong enough to with stand the blows, the whip is made of fire."If you do not survive, it means you are not strong and if you are not strong then you can not lead my ranks! Bronkle bring forth the rod and heed my words!" the Bronkle does as it's told and begins the whipping, it's long enough to hit them all in one go, they endure, trying not to make a sound as the heat tears their flesh and scorch their backs. I walk over to Simon and stoop down to him, I lift his head "look Simon, take a good look at them, this is what you've caused with your reckless actions, look at the result of your handiwork"He looks at them with his lips bitten inwards, after the final stroke they all collapse but not before casting looks at Simon, the head squad leader was the first to get back onto his knees then stand before helping the
Dark Dimension *whip! Whip! Whip! Whip! Whip!* “Please Lord Umi, I beg I did it for our sake!” *Whip! Whip! Whip!* Simon cries out in pain as his Lord continues to beat him mercilessly for once acting on his own without informing him of his plans.It is torture because he beats him till his skin bleeds then let’s him be healed then start all over again, it’s been this way for Two weeks and not once has Lord Umi said a single word to his Second in command, nor does he listen to reason when others try to talk him out of the punishment he bestows.“If you keep this up my Lord, he will truly descend one day”The Lord turns “good! Then let him descend! I HAVE NO USE FOR A SUBURDINATE WHO DOES NOT RESPECT HIS MASTER! IF HE DOES BIDDING ON HIS OWN THEN WHAT PURPOSE DO I SERVE HMM? WHERE IS THE ORDER?! ANSWER ME!”“I dare not make assumptions my Lord but I do believe in his mind he believes he was helping you by doing so”“HELPING ME?! YOU CALL EXPOSING OUR EXISTANCE AND CAUSING US TO LOSE C
“Are you okay Mom?”“No, no my pup I am not but I will be, I just can’t believe I’ve lived with these people all these years accepting their lies and them being under dark influence, I have had someone in my midst who has had dealings with the dark and I had no idea”“Just out of curiosity, how can you trust that the Winter Wards as you called them had nothing to do with it” Tyler asks“They are not able to dwell with darkness, they will get tainted and start turning black and wither away, they are among the purest beings in the world” “wow okay”“I think I need to lay down for a bit, this truly is too much for me to process in one go”“Uhm, if you don’t mind can you send us back to our respective packs first”My mom stares at me “I suppose it’s all new to you so you won’t know but you are more than able to open portals as well my love, come I’ll teach you quickly”She teaches me how to channel my power and I learn that I have a fire magical core but she advises me not to use it too m
