“What no way, then will I meet him?” Akilah asked impatiently.
“No, as a matter of fact try to avoid him at all costs.
I don’t know how well your magic will work against him, since both of you use
my powers, albeit to different degrees. Still your powers might not be very
effective against him.”
“This…This feels like a loophole that I should have been informed about.”
Akilah said
“Well you are being informed about it now” Ladybug
said sounding completely satisfied with his witty response. “Besides would you have done anything differently if you had
known about this? Would you have canceled the deal?”
*Sigh* “You sure have an answer for everything don't you” Akilah replied
annoyed.
“Yes, yes I do, I am after all, a powerful other
worldly being. Of course, I-”
“Yeah yeah I got it. I don't need to listen to this spiel again. Bottom line is
that I'll be fine as long as I don't fight him, right?”
“Rude of you to interrupt, but yes that is right”
“Okay then there's no need to worry about it.”
“Yes...No need”
Although Akilah found his reply a bit strange, she didn’t have time to ask him
any further questions as she suddenly felt his presence become stranger.
“Now get ready Akilah Amory?”
“Is it time?” Akilah asked.
“Almost” Ladybug replied, “But before that let me give
you a parting gift”
“A gift?” Akilah asked, completely shocked that he had even prepared something
like that.
“Yes a gift”
Akilah felt something touch her temple, a cold sensation rushed through her
body, it felt like something entered her mind.
“What was that?” She asked.
“A mind grimoire” Ladybug answered, “It has all the
spells you have learned so far and a few more that I added in. You are already
strong enough, but knowing you, you will probably want more just in case”
“You know me so well” Akilah interjected.
“I have created a monster.” He said laughed
softly and continued “When it comes to attack and
protection magic, the type that you wanted for your revenge; you have already
reached the peak. But there are other areas that need some training. Which I assume
you will be doing in those years you will spend with your friend, waiting for
him to arrive.”
“Again you know me to well Ladybug”
“What can I say, I am a genius supernatural being, what
did you expected!” He said with confidence
Akilah laughed “Wow you really know how to ruin the mood, don't you. Just as I
was about to give you a genuine compliment”
Ladybug chuckled. “But in all seriousness. I gave you
the mind grimoire, to relieve you of the fear of having your grimoire being
detected.”
“I... I hadn't really considered that, thanks.”
“No need, just think of it as a parting gift from an
employer to an employee for years of good work”
Akilah was about to give her thanks again but just then Ladybug spoke up.
“It's time" Ladybug said with a stern voice
“Akilah Amory. You are hereby freed from your position
as my henchman. You completed your part fully, and you are now granted your
wish for powerful magical abilities. You will thus as agreed be sent back six
years before we met”
A thick fog quickly surrounded Akilah, she felt nostalgic, this was just like
when she first had summoned him.
“Close your eyes Akilah” Ladybug said softly.
Akilah closed her eyes and felt a gust of wind hit her. All of a sudden, she
heard someone far away call her name, the voice came closer and closer. She opened
her eyes and looked around, she was back at her old home, and that voice
calling her name was Adara’s voice.
