A terrible headache invaded him, although he had never drunk could say that he had the same feeling as a man after getting drunk for three days in a row. With great difficulty and evident dizziness, he managed to get up to look around, but no matter how hard he tried, his terrible headache prevented him from seeing things clearly in front of him.
-Where I am? - Once he returned to his senses, he realized how his surroundings looked. However, I could not describe anything at all, because the landscape was that. Nothing.
Apart from a gray background very close to black, there was nothing else. It was like a world covered in shadows, a world that stretched as far as the eye could see.
-So you woke up. A soft voice as sweet as honey made Arlhen surprised. However, he did not respond, because he was lost in his thoughts while searching for the author of those words. What's wrong with you, do not you have manners? You're supposed to kneel and beg my presence.
- What? Who you are? Show yourself now! - After waking up in a strange place and hearing such things, Arlhen's mental state was anything but calm.
-I see, I forgot that you are only a small way of life in this star. I'm not surprised you do not know about manners. There was a brief silence before the lovely voice rang again. Get on your knees!
As if his words were a divine command, Arlhen's body collapsed on the floor at the same time he ducked his head, making a pose of extreme respect. No matter how hard he tried to oppose such an action, it was as if his body no longer belonged to him.
-M-shit! - Lowering the head before someone was a sign not only of respect but of subordination. Within the continent, these actions were given so much importance that there was even a phrase "You will only kneel before the heavens and your parents". So it was evident that someone as proud as Arlhen, was terribly outraged by his current situation.
-That's better. -Just then, a strange silhouette began to materialize a few meters in front of the young Bareare. Shortly after, a luxurious stone throne was also present, landing just behind the strange figure. What's wrong, why did not you say anything? Ah, it's true, you're still kneeling. Well, you can get up.
As soon as Arlhen got up to look angrily at the person responsible for taking him to such a state, he was stunned by the strange appearance of it. Leaving aside her beautiful hair a warm yellow, it was impossible to see anything else. It was not because it was some invisible being, but because it did not have any feature that differentiated it.
A silhouette, it was exactly that, a dark silhouette with a mocking white smile. No eyes, no eyelashes, no musculature or defined body. All I could say was that it was a girl, this because of her long hair and the small size of her breasts that were still bigger than a man's.
-What are you? His previous anger disappeared completely when he saw the strange appearance of being in front of him.
-That I am? That is not something that someone with your intellect can understand. The only important thing here is that I saved you, at least for now. So I expect a little more gratitude from you, "the figure replied as he sat cross-legged on the throne.
--S-save me?
-It seems you do not remember. Well, seeing the terrible state in which you ended up I'm not surprised that your brain wanted to erase those bad experiences. The woman's silhouette reached out to young Bareare, then a small bolt of light was fired at him. This should be enough.
As soon as the light hit Arlhen's forehead, an endless amount of scenes flashed through his mind. His body twisted for a brief moment until the sweat covered him and the expression on his face filled with disbelief.
-Why? What happened? Thea shot me ... No, that's impossible. But then, why? Arlhen looked at the silhouette in the middle of his monologue, then an important memory came to him. C-How did I get here? Do not tell me ... Could this place be the other world? Where depart the souls that perish in life.
-What stupid are you babbling, this is not the other world. But if you like, I can send you there right now.
-But if I died, then where am I?
-Die? Well, it is true that in your state we could already say that you are not different from a dead person. However, you still are not ... And where we are, we have not moved anywhere. You are still falling through that abyss.
-And, I'm still falling through the abyss? Arlhen was confused as never before with the last statement of the silhouette.
-Yes, all I did was bring the last trace of your consciousness to this place. You can say that right now we are talking inside your mind, although it is an incorrect way at least you should understand it that way.
- You are also part of my mind?
-Of course not! The figure refuted with annoyance. With how miserable your mental strength is, how could you bring yourself to this state of subconsciousness? My identity is too complex and unnecessary for you, what good would it do to know something about a world you will never touch? So do not bother with stupid and unnecessary questions, you just need to know that I am willing to get you out of this place.
- Get me out of here? How can I trust you if I do not even know who you are?
-Bashing annoying, what other option do you have? Right now you will die in one way or another. At least you know how terrible your situation is? Your external wounds are terrible, right now your body is no different from a sack of flesh bored on all sides. Not to mention the internal state of your body, which is several times worse.
-That ... -Although at first Arlhen wanted to refute the words of the female silhouette, after his memories returned, he understood that perhaps what was said by the mysterious girl was no exaggeration. Tell me, if what you say is true, why do you want to help me? I can not understand, what do you gain from all this?
-Help you? No, I'm not helping you. I am helping myself ... I have been trapped here for a long time, condemned to take care of this disgusting place ...
- Stuck? This place is…
-I'm a prisoner of this. The dark silhouette showed a black book that he held in his hands.
-That's…! - How could not Arlhen recognize that object?
-Yes, this is the book you bought. Maybe it would be better to say that you bought my prison. No, that's not like that either ... I allowed you to meet me in that alley, only a small hook was necessary. -Large amounts of information about the kingdom appeared on the pages of the worn dark book.
-That, was it a trap? But, are you in book? -The degree of alarm of Arlhen increased by a large margin.
- You wanted to know who I am? I am a victim, a victim of envy and greed ... Of the many people I could detect with my limited reach, your potential surpassed them by a large margin. I expected to meet with you once I finished analyzing your personality, but your luck is just too terrible. The feminine figure seemed to contain a slight trace of anger when she arrived at this part. I've been stuck here for dozens of years, unable to do anything to get out of this damn place. And just when a small opportunity presents itself, your enormous stupidity gets you killed ... If it were not for this queen does not want to be lost for another multitude of years in an abyss, then it would not even help you.
- What exactly will you do? I still do not understand, how do you want me to help you?
-It's quite simple, I need some things to free myself from the chains that keep me imprisoned from this that you know as a book. I will get you out of this abyss, and instead you will work for me, is not it a good deal? A little bug working under the direct command of this queen, what could be better for you?
-Saving my life in exchange for returning the favor, it's not a bad deal, just that I have a doubt, why should I work for a girl with identity delusions? Arlhen would never lower his head so easily, so he actually found it difficult to meet that last point.
-Ah? This queen takes the trouble to explain things to you so that even a bad person of the brain would understand, but above you refuse to reciprocate with the respect I deserve, are you stupid? Kneel right now and kiss the feet of this queen! Maybe that way you can make me forgive your miserable life.
-Naña, strength is demonstrated by actions, not words. If you think that by calling yourself "queen" the rest of us should treat you as such, then your delusions of identity are really more serious than I thought. The young Bareare was annoyed at the arrogant manner in which he spoke.
-Well, fine, so identity delusions, right? - From the own tone of voice, it could be noticed as the feminine silhouette was really angry. It seems that this toad will remain arrogant and disrespectful until he learns his place. Well, this queen will discipline you.
Just as the delicate figure finished speaking, she raised her hands in the direction of the young Bareare. In the next instant, an irresistible force pushed Arlhen's body into the air, lifting it several meters above the ground and dropping it a short time later.
"But ..." Before Arlhen could react, he was again lifted up and then crashed back into the ground.
- Come on, toad! Show this queen that you can do nothing but talk. "The faceless silhouette began to laugh out loud at the endless scenes of the boy crashing to the floor. What happened to your pride, toad? This is what happens when you try to disobey your queen's orders. Come on, come on, why are not you laughing? Let's go toad, you can resist more than that.
Arlhen's body was used as a dirty rag, being shaken from top to bottom, from left to right and in all possible directions. Finally he stopped for a moment, but then started walking against his will towards the female silhouette.
-T-your damn, what are you trying to do !? -Before the young Bareare lashed out with an incredible amount of rudeness, his body prostrated on the ground, as if praising the figure in front of him.
-This is your place. Oh, wait, I think I forgot something else ... Yeah, I remembered that! A gigantic, grinning smile covered the place where the face of the female figure was supposed to be. You still have to kiss my feet.
-Do not you dare! Daughter of pe ... "Without any time to react, Arlhen's lips touched what would be the feet of the maid. You are one…
-That's enough, I hope that now you know your place. With a simple movement of his finger, Arlhen's body was pushed several meters back, it was like a simple puppet in front of the mysterious silhouette.
Faced with a situation in which he was totally impotent, the young Bareare put his mind to work at its maximum capacity, looking for some way to recover a bit of his dignity. In this way, what he thought was a risky but brilliant idea arrived.
- Is that all you have, move your hands and do some cheap tricks? You're not a queen, just a circus clown who knows a few jokes.
-Don't tempt your luck. What until then was a lovely voice, became as cold as the depths of a glacier. What are you insinuating?
-I'm saying that you hide behind that strange ability to manipulate my body. But, until now you have not dared to attack me in a contact fight, is it because your skills are limited to those tricks?
-What? -A devastating laugh was released by the female silhouette, echoing all over the place and beyond. At first glance, anyone could understand that their fun was genuine. I see, I see. You really have no idea who the queen is before your eyes, do you want to face me in a melee battle against me? Another time a deafening laugh was heard in the surroundings. Well well. I see that you are one of those people who do not know about limits until they experience it in their own flesh. Okay, you will regret your foolishness for this queen's words.
At that very moment, a terrible atmosphere beyond all existing logic descended upon them, causing Arlhen to lose the color of his face. The sensation that covered the space was beyond the indescribable, threatening to destroy the creation itself, it was like a force beyond all understanding that came to alter the laws of the world.
"Ah ..." Arlhen became unable to speak, static as a statue, afraid to even move an inch. Any trace of his old attitude disappeared, instead an intense fear took root in the depth of his being. If he could describe his current situation, it would be like being in the middle of hell itself ... No, Alrhen preferred ten thousand times to enter that place rather than continue to endure a second more in this environment. At least this was the conclusion that came after staying a few moments in that sea of terrible emotions. Yes, the impact was such that even uncontrollable desire to commit suicide seized him. Anything was better than following the silhouette.
"Do you want to know who this queen is with whom you dare to be so rampant? When I was still traveling among the living, there was no creature that did not kneel before me. Do you think you know a lot? You are nothing more than a little ignoramus before me ... Back then, millions of figures whose greatness you do not even dream of reaching would seek the favor of this queen, huge worlds hundreds of times bigger than this tiny star would lower their heads just to enter my eyes ... And you, an insect that I can erase even with the simplest of my breaths, dares to disrespect me ... I have decimated entire armies, I have massacred countless ancient kingdoms, I have crushed forces beyond what your limited mind can understand, do you think I will continue to tolerate you talking to me that way? Little garbage, learn what your place is!
