7 Welcome Mistress...

The Throne welcomes you Mistress of…

[SEARCHING FOR SUITABLE LEGENDS…]

[CANDIDATE FOUND!]

[INITIALISING RECRUITMENT OF LEGEND...]

Strangely she felt at peace for the first time after his death. She could finally reunite with him in the afterlife, after the idiot got himself killed despite promising that they would always come out alive. Oh how she hated that bitchy woman, because of her she lost her One Thing. If that woman never came to them, they could have pulled of heists and somewhere down the line retire with a massive fortune. But oh no she had to come into their life's and fuck everything up for them. But how sweet that moment was when she stabbed the bitch in the heart with Hush as her own life slipped away. See that you idiot? That is how you deal with that kind of person, stabbing them before they become the reason you don't keep your promise to your partner.

While walking through the endless void something appeared before her, a velvet blue butterfly. 'Hmm? What is a butterfly doing here of all places?' she thought as it started to fly away. 'Hey maybe it can find my partner so I can kick his ass and then hug him for dying' a sad silent chuckle escaping her lips.

Soon she followed the butterfly to a velvet blue door. 'Well that is new. Haven't seen anything like a door here before, but I haven't seen much of anything here so there's that' she hesitated only for a moment before stepping through the door and entering a bar lounge. She immediately scanned the room for any attackers but all she saw was a classy lounge bar and a smiling man with a mask behind the counter.

"It is a pleasure to finally meet you! Our mutual friend told me a lot about you but after seeing what you did in your last days certainly impressed me" the man greeted with an elegant bow. "Take a seat and we shall talk about what we can do about your current dilemma."

After hearing the man knew about him and seemed to have recently spoken to him she had not much choice but to talk to him to find her partner. She opened her mouth to speak just to close it again since she remembered even in death she wasn't able to talk. Like reading her mind the man handed her a scroll with a small smile before she could begin to gesture for something to write on and her inability to speak. "I am well aware of your little plight, not like it ever really hindered you right?"

[So you said you spoke to him. Tell me where he is, he has some things to answer!] she wrote with her scroll while a slightly angry and sadistic smile spread across her face.

"One thing at a time my dear. First I would like to make a deal with you. You see this here is not the afterlife but the Velvet Throne a place that records all manner of legend – be it heroes, monster or villains. I want to record your life's story inside this place for it to never be forgotten and I am willing to pay quite the price for it that will be satisfying for you" he said with a smile.

[Alright you have my attention mentioning a price! But remember no one crosses or backstabs me or my partner the last bitch that tried that paid her dues heavily]

"Hahahahaha! Oh I know what happened to her and while I would like to one day have her here too, it is not my style to go back on deals I made. As for that price how about a new life with your partner together?" he said while her eyes almost shined like stars at his last words.

[Wow! You really know how to make a deal! Sure, fine I take the deal but I also want Hush with me again!] she wrote since her weapon was the first thing he gave her as a gift, it's value was just slightly below him.

"Of course how could I forget your weapons. How about this as a little bonus and to surprise him I will give you Melodic Cudgel as well." he offered while sliding the contract towards her. She didn't hesitate for long before signing. "Wonderful! Now one thing before you embark on a new journey with him, live well, live free and most importantly always have each other's back."

At his last words she surprisingly burst out in silent laughter. [Yeah, this time I won't let him break his promise!] with that she slowly dissolved into golden motes of light.

"Then welcome to the Velvet Throne, Mistress of Mirrors – Neopolitan!"
