“Did you deliver my message Kahn?” Kahn sighs nodding, a deep grin crawls up, “everything will be better now. It has to be.”
“You're just happy because you have your powers back. You won't win.” Kahn says,
My heart drops, I take a deep breath, “I don't want to win, I just want, I want to see her again.”
Kahn forcefully grabs my arm, he grimaces, “It makes no sense, you want to see her yet you take everything she loves or cherishes.”
I shiver opening my mouth, “You’re wrong. He did that, not me, I have no free will. Besides, Liam was hurting her anyway, and let’s face it, no one likes Angels. I’m just making it more, swerked.”
“This isn’t a news broadcast Yanamarie, this is real life and Novillia is smarter than you think.” Kahn says letting go of my arm a deep red imprint was left, I touch the mark lightly flinching, the rage took hold of me,
“But what about her friends? Raisa found her Soulmate a paradox in the system, Amelia keeps to herself, her own problems stay her own problems, Liam’s banished, Opal is distracted with her job, Radial is lost in his projects, and don’t get me started on the issues Rave has.”
Kahn crosses his arms, “Your point?
“Novus can’t handle all of their problems at once, she’ll crack, and so will all of them, she’ll fall down the grapevine to come crawling, to me. Where she can help me and break my curse like a beautiful knight in shining armour!” Words spit like venom, I was scared, the darkness was taking hold of me, I just wanted something, someone to save me from this prison.
“This isn’t a fairy tale, you're delusional.”
It hurt, I wanted it to be a fairy tale, I wanted to forget the past and move on, “I never asked for this. I never asked to wake up in this world, to look like this, to fall in love, only to lose the one person that understood me, I, I never asked for any of this.”
Silence, Kahn stares at me, “We’re not talking about Novillia anymore are we.” I wasn’t, I wasn’t talking about Novus, she was my only escape,
“If I have to make the most of me being in this world, I might as well just comply and do my orders. You should too. You’re my slave and you will continue to be until I get what I want! Someone who will save me from this hell!” Venom pours filling up my lungs, it filled Kahns as well,
“She doesn’t love you and she never will! Novillia will never help an Unspoken, she will never come here, you might as well just forget about it.” Then, the venom stops, and all that is left is the cold reality, Kahn stood above me, towering
“Please,” I mumble, “be quiet.” His mouth was sealed, I wipe an escaped tear and huff, “Liam! Come here!” Liam slinks over, he was watching the whole time, listening to the venomous words, hearing me speak of his Soulmate in ways that only he should, Liam leans against the wall crossing his arms.
“What is it now?” he sighs,
“We’re going to crash her crowning and you’re going to become the Watcher of Time. We’re going to fix this.” Liam grimaces, clenching his body, if only he knew what I did,
“I’m banished from Crystillia because of you. I can’t see my Soulmate because of you!” Liam shouted,
Ironic, two people with almost the same story, “I can’t see my Soulmate either. I’ve survived this long without the interaction I’m sure you can too.”
“You’re an Unspoken. You’re alive until Novus is dead. She’s my Soulmate and we become weak if we don’t ever see each other.” I know that isn’t true, I smile, teasing him.
“That’s perfect! If she’s weak then it’ll be even easier to grab her crown and necklace!”
“That’s not-”
I cut him off, “Liam, go away.” He listens, he has no choice but to. My head pounds, he is listening,
“Yanamarie, you’re failing to wake my next descendant up.” my face heats up thinking of Novus dying because of me once again,
“I am not. It’s just taking a bit more time to find someone that is worthy.”
The Unspoken laughs, “Or you’re stalling. You don’t want Novus to die,” my lip twitches, I set my pen down and pick at my fingers, “there it is.”
“You’re wrong, I don’t know who to choose.” Vastus already made a body for the new Unspoken.
“Rave is my descendant, he’s a good ‘choice’ for you.”
“Rave? You mean Novus’ boy?” I pause, “he would be a good choice I guess.” I didn’t want him to be, I don’t want to hurt any of the Pure Lights.
“Exactly. Your idea about the crowning is beautiful Yanamarie, but corrupt Rave and make it even better.”
“Corrupt him? He’s a Pure Light can they be corrupted?” I didn’t want to corrupt him, I hate the feeling of using the darkness.
“Corruption is simply when their soul is taken over by their dark desires, I’m sure that their light can be taken over, but,” he pauses as a chill goes down my spine as he begins to laugh, “you can always test it on a Pure Light you already have.” My eyes dart to Liam standing in the back, listening.
“Liam? I need him for my plan.”
“And what better way is there than to make his desire come out? Especially with his desire.”
Liam looks at me, we lock eyes, I quickly look away, “What is his desire?”
“For a world with no consequences, a world where he can take Novus and no one would care, though I doubt he even knows that is what he wants. It’s natural for Soulmates to long for each other,” he pauses, “of course you would understand Yanamarie.” He always knew where to hit,
I lower my voice, “Will he still listen to me?”
“With some resistance, but yes. You may have to lock him up if you want to use Novus.”
I clench my fist, “I’ll do it, but if I corrupt Liam, I won’t corrupt Rave.”
I could almost feel him smiling, “I’ll allow it.”
A sigh of relief, “I will corrupt him.”
“Good girl,” he purred, “Now run along to Vastus and collect some darkness.”
A hope pops into my head, “Sir.”
“What is it?” he sighs.
“Do you think Novus will actually fulfill the prophecy and kill the Unspoken we awaken?”
He laughs, the goosebumps appear, “How many resets have we been through and she’s been killed before we even found a vessel?”
I take a deep breath, trying my best to recall just how long ago it was my journal no longer kept the times, “235 times she has died before we found a vessel 10 times she died before the final battle, and twice her Pure Lights woke up to fight the vessel and she never woke up. So 247 times she has failed.” And I killed her 124 times, against my will.
“Exactly.”
“Why have we not moved on? Shouldn’t the next generation begin when this generation fails?” This generation fails, I no longer have to deal with this,
The Unspoken sighs, attempting to come up with a reason, “I’m starting to believe she has help that even she does not know about.”
“Gods?”
He mumbled, thinking to himself then finally I hear his voice in my head, “Send one of your slaves to investigate.”
“Of course sir, but you know, maybe her 248th will be her time and she’ll win!” I pray to the Gods she wins this time, I can’t keep acting like this when he listens,
He laughs, “I doubt it. She’s presistant, but dumb.” and then he was gone from my thoughts,
My face heats up once again, thinking of her. I rest my head upon a cold desk and sigh, “True. That’s why I love her.”
