The Rising Darkness

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Jul 30, 2022

Kan couldn’t stop smirking we walked through a long, narrow hallway under the arena. It made me want to punch the stupid look off his face, but I didn’t. Not when this was the happiest, I’d seen him since this year’s Games of Styx had started.

Wearing this ridiculous filly dress was an easy price to pay to see Kan a bit happy. However, it didn’t mean I wasn’t going to beat the crap out of David when I got hold of him. The ribbons on this dress alone were enough to make several shirts for a small child.

“Seriously, what the hell was he thinking?” I muttered, lifting the edge of my dress. “I don’t wear this kind of stuff. The color isn’t even something I would wear.” I stared angrily at the puke green color covering every corner of the dress.

“Maybe, he was trying to expand your wardrobe.” Kan laughed slightly. “Add some colour to your wardrobe.”

“Black is a perfectly good color.” I said hotly. “And from someone who’s got more black clothing than me, you shouldn’t be talking.”

“There you two are.”

We both turned to see a tall, olive skin man run towards us. He was wearing a suit that matched my ridiculous dress. Many would consider him handsome, with blond hair and hazel eyes, but his cruelty ruined them.

“David.” Kan’s face went blank as David finally reached us.

“Kan.” David nodded at him, before looking at me. “Where have you been, Runa? You know that this is an important event.”

I rolled my eyes. “I’m here, am I not. The Games of Styx only start in an hour.”

David’s face went slightly red with rage, before he sighed, trying to keep calm. “Yes. Well, now that you’ve finally arrived, we should get going.”

Grabbing my arm, he began dragging me in the opposite direction of the spectator's seating area. Planting my feet firmly into the plush, red carpet, I stopped both of us. "Umm… Where are you taking me?"

“Ah yes, I forgot to tell you. We have a special guest today, so you’ll be seated in the King’s Box with them.”

As he the words left his mouth, I suddenly felt sick inside. The King’s Box was a special seating area in the arena for the most elite members of the Underworld. There were only a few people who would be considered special enough to sit in the King’s Box and force me to come to join them. And I did not want to see any of them, not right now. Not ever.

Before I could say anything, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I saw Kan standing next to me shaking his head. He knew what I was going to say. “It’s okay David. I’ll take her there.”

David looked at Kan suspiciously, before nodding. “Alright. I trust you Kan. But remember no detours. Our guest is already mad as it is.”

After he disappeared from view, Kan looked at me and whispered, “You’ll be fine Runa. Just remember to take deep breaths.”
