Eight years and five months have passed since Akilah had become Ladybug’s
henchman. It was originally only supposed to be six years, but Akilah made a
lot of mistakes in the beginning that added on to her work time. But the time
had finally come, today was her last day. She was laying down on a sunbed in
the porch of the house that she had been staying in while on her last mission.
The view was beautiful, the sun was about to set and the orange sky was shining
bright on the garden flowers. She had always asked Ladybug how he got his hands
on these houses, but he had always beat around the bush and never given her a
definite answer. But it is not like it mattered anymore, she had less than two
hours left and then she will be free from all of this.
For the past few years Akilah had been 'trained', as
Ladybug liked to call it. The missions she had mostly consisted of her using
her magical abilities to eliminate people. But there were also a variety of
other missions ranging from contract handling to espionage.
Although she had only wish for magical powers, along the way Ladybug had also
trained her in other areas. She was now, as ladybug liked to say, 'the most
powerful magician in your world'. He liked to emphasize the 'your world' part,
because as Akilah had figured out there were hundreds of worlds or
"dimensions" out there.
Akilah was thinking back to the beginning of this long 'training' journey. At
first the concept of what a mission was and how it worked frightened Akilah.
The missions as one would expect from an ancient supernatural being, were also
out of this world.
Almost every mission was set in a different time and space. Akilah was
fascinated every time she was sent somewhere on a mission. Everything was
different, from how the people looked and dressed, to their architecture and
method of transportation.
One of the most interesting cases Akilah had found was a society name Skaia
that differed from her own world, like day and night. There weren't any nobles
here but also not any peasants, everyone seemed to be on equal footing. She had
seen that there were disparities between some people but the core concept was
that everyone could make it regardless of background.
Another world had deeply divided societies, all with varied properties and
characteristics. Here the concept of rich and poor also didn't exist, only us
and them. Akilah didn’t know if this was better or worse than her own world.
Since there was constantly a division between the population, and if that
division were to be crossed, all hell would break lose.
Another world is what one could call 'spirit realm', a sort of realm for
wondering or lost souls. Most of the missions Akilah had in the spirit realm
was to find runaway souls from 'hell' or at least a version of hell. This was
the hell for the people that had sold their souls for their desires to either a
devil or a being like Ladybug. Now those souls were in their only personal
hells paying the price, for how long Akilah still didn't know. Out of all her
missions she had been sent on, the ones in the spirit realm affected her the
most. Because every time she returns the souls to "hell", she catches
a firsthand glimpse of her future after her death.
