Chapter 7:Rima
A domineering aura pressure the atmosphere ,a fair lady in a gown suddenly came in. Her foot steps were creating the familiar rhythm. Her blue hair and dress made her outstanding,she looked so calm and collected. As she came closer to the fallen soul. She lifted her head to make of the two bats. Her presence gave off an innocent feeling,then started,"mindful are thou that it is foul to pronounce sucy words-Al'."she said gently.
"Oh sorry I wasn't aware that you were eavesdropping. Old haggy bitch is the right one right?"
"Bad mouthing as usual. I clearly see as day that thou are making good use of the stolen artifact. What says there?"
"Like I said I borrowed them and Rima you keep intercepting my plans, What says there?"
Because countless moment ,thou attempted to cheat the cycle of nature to satisfy thy selfish needs."
"How is it selfish when I am cutting my rope for the Gods?"
"Neither God's nor Goddesses agreed with the decision. We know what thou feels neither rebellion nor blood shed is the answer.
"Then what is." There was silence."See? You are mute. If vengeance is not the answer then tell me." She shook her head and said ,"Regardless, I Rima, cannot stand still as this abomination resurrect."She stretches her hand and a sword appears. She raised the other hand as if asking a person to stand from a seat and where Max laid ,rose. The water projected having Max on it like a table. She places her sword on his neck then raises the sword up pointing to the ceiling. She dashes down aiming for a clean cut, a millimeters between the neck and the edge of the sword ,she feas. She tilted her and a piece of paper held by two black doves at the upper two Conners appears.
"What does thou mean by this? A new God like this can't possibly possess something to offer."
"True, but a thing all God's of prosperity have in common is my downfall and my death. You Rima might have if you accept the contract." Rima took the paper. Some seconds later, she begun to laugh ,she seemed to be filled with pure joy,joy beyond happiness was what her countenance emitted. With tears in her eyes,"Thou really are interesting." Ever the murder of my sister nothing has moved me to laugh this much. Thank thee for this but me thinks I partake in no gains in this contract."
"WHAT? I am willing to give you all my treasure ,my life if my plans somehow interfere with yours,35% possession of Max soul and return all the borrowed artifacts. And you say you have no gain? What else could I possibly offer?"
"Al' after thou was crown the culprit of my sister's death, was I have wanted has never been thy death, bit the suffering of thee. I want thee to burn in hell with Hades. Suffer till thee break. A suffering that does not possess an end is what I wi..." She stops then turns to Max. "Are my ears deceiving me?"
"His...pa...niola." Max says with some difficulty in his slumber. He looked so peaceful like a baby. Rima's sword suddenly disappeared and she fell on her knees. She picks up max, lays him down with his head resting on her thigh. She sends her face closer to his ears then wisperes;
"Please- please say it one last time." She got no response. With lashes beaded with tears and a woeful face like a hungry wolf, with no hope, she prepares to leave her position then she halts. Tears which flowed from the glands of Max truly moved Rima. It made her feel helpless yet so protected.
"His...pa...niola." He says again with difficulty. "Please don't... don't go. Stay just a bit longer." Rima couldn't contain herself no more. She bowed her head and tears began to pour. Drops landed on Max's face which caused him to wince. The wincing led to his awakening. And for some time, he remained still. Everything was blurry and his body felt numb.
