Twilight in Obsidian

“Please take me with you,” the woman whispered. Her voice was dry and hoarse, her body trembled like a leaf on an unsettled wave. Was it because of the crime she had just committed, or was it because of the aura the man before her gave off? She must be sick, both in and out of the head. Everything in her said not to ask for help, or at least not to ask him for help, nevertheless, here she was bowing her head down before him. “Now, why would I do that?” His dark, airy voice filled her ears. His voice sent shivers down her spine, making her freeze in her spot. Her head sank to the floor, unmoving. “I do anything from cleaning to washing, and cooking,” she said, muttering her words, timidly. The man hunched down to her size and uttered, his breath tickling her neck. “Have you met me before?” “No, but I can—” She began to say, as if he were contemplating her request but was quickly interrupted. “Don't be so quick to sell yourself to death.” Passing through her, he left her to crumble on the ground. °∆° "Did you think I would let you go after I found you? Do you know how long I have waited for this moment?” His voice deepened with each word that fell off his lips. The woman stepped back, not wanting to get close to this terrifying man. “I am being truthful, Your Highness. I don't know you, Your Majesty, our families haven't met for any reason. So please let me go,” she whispered. Her body touched the wall. Now she was stuck between the wall and the terrifying man. “Please, My Lord, I don't know what you are talking about,” She whimpered. He placed his strong hands on her hip, giving it a light squeeze as he pulled her closer to his chest. He whispered into her ears, “I missed you so much, it's been a long while, My love” He placed his head on hers °∆° R18 PLEASE NOTE THAT THE BOOK COVER ISN'T MINE, IT WAS FOUND AND REDESIGNED BY ME.

~Chapter 51~

"THAT IS ENOUGH!!" A deep voice boomed across the medical hall. Zanir stepped into the room. The tension he brought in terrified the lesser being of the legions. Gimi, regardless, continued her antics, and continued banging the sole of her legs against the wall, attributing more to her annoyance. 

Zanir sighed, as he walked towards her, "I said, that's enough" Gimi pause mid-kick as she turned her head mechanically to stare into her colleague's own. 

Her violet eyes met his hazel ones. It looked as though they were about to have a stare off until Gimi trailed her eyes over to the hand that was placed on her shoulders. She disgustedly slapped it off her body and lifted her angry violet eyes towards Zanir.

Zanir, being the man he was, didn't back down from her blazing anger. "Don't touch me causally"

"You getting angry doesn't change anything, so quit acting like a child and throwing tantrums. It is detestable," He spoke, his voice demanding respect and absolute obedience.

Gimi raised her brows, her face mirroring her expression. Giving him a pointed look, she spoke, "The audacity! Who died and made you the leader?" 

Zanir eyes darkened at her insult statement. Gimi had an annoying way of pushing people's button and aggravating them to anger. 

Gimi's head bent to the side. Even with the obvious height and the difference, her bent head and superior looking expression made it seem as though she was looking down n him. Her brows arched, and her eyes turned slant as she continued, "Just because Salrith isn't around doesn't automatically make you the leader. Don't get over yourself and push the unnecessary luck you don't have"

This alone was enough to anger Zanir as his hazel eyes flared and soon changed color. Similarly, noticing she had gotten a raise out of him, Gimi took a combat stands, her clothes became loose and the threads waved animatedly in the air. 

Though they could not kill each other, but they could opt to causing detrimental wounds to each other. 

"I see you still lack manners since Salrith left. Need me to remind you?" He calmly stated. 

His calm demeanor irritated her and aggravated her hatred towards him. He was a sadist at best. This was the best and simplest way anyone could describe Zanir's disgusting personality. 

The legions surrounding them hid behind whatever safety object they could find around them, as they didn't want to get in crossfire between the two senior. 

"What is wrong? Aren't you going to take the first move? After all, you know that if I acted first, you would lose," He said, placing his fingers on his jaw as he tapped lightly on it.

He was making a jest of her! It wasn't as though Gimi was weak. No, she wasn't. It was only that between Zanir's Hypnosis and her cloth manipulation, if she didn't act fast, Zanir could easily and effortlessly hypnotize her to torture herself.

Well, this could only happen if and only if she didn't act first.

It wasn't the first time Gimi used her cloth manipulation, so it would be idiotic for her not to have taking the first attack.

Gimi's cloth manipulation could turn as thin as a thread or as wide as a belt. These thin like threads that are made from the clothes she wears are very sharp and can easily cut through steel doors, building or even human limbs. 

Yes, the threads could cut and easily slip into the human body, to cause damages both within and outside the body.

It was also safe to say it could be used as a healing mechanism. That was why she was treating Malgrin as the thin like thread could easily slip in to the house and stitch any broken ribs or vessel or stitch outward opened wounds. 

But she only did this when the master orders her too. She would not graciously heal someone out of the goodness of her heart, because, after all, there was nothing good about her heart.

The wide belt size differs from the thin threads. If the thin thread can slash and cut things into thin pieces, then the belt size would cut things similarly, but in sizeable pieces and bigger slashes. 

These belt sizes can also server as a shield and defense mechanism, as she can still wrap it around her body to form a protection like shield, or even manipulate it to form an overhead like barrier.

Gimi suddenly smiled at Zanir. This sudden flip in expression got Zanir on alert. Not wanting to take any chances, he moved before her, wanting to get closer to her. 

He thought he acted he before her, but he paused on his steps and fell to one knee. Suddenly, black blood spilled from his lips as he looked down at himself. 

He noticed two strands of Gimi's thread on him. One at the center of his chest and the other on his stomach. He coughed out more black blood as he felt pressure there the threads were. 

Even though it looked like his defeat was already near, the annoyed and determined look on his face didn't falter.

"I did as you said — I acted first — So what are you going to do about it?" She asked with an irritatingly mocking voice. Grinding on his teeth, Zanir chose not to respond to her antics. She stared into her eyes, but she was smart as she used the translucent part of her closes to cover her eyes as she stared back at him. She could see him, but he could not see her.

Zanir sighed, knowing fully well he couldn't win against her at the moment. He sat back on her behind and played a tired smile on his face, "You can't kill me—" he stated, but Gimi sharply interrupted.

"Yes, I can't, but I can torture you for the time being" Her response came with a twist in the thread inside his chest. He groaned, feeling the punching pain in his insides. 

Gimi was having the fun of her life, after Malgrin messed up her beloved master's plan, she had being in a cranky mood to say the least. But her sight of Zanir suffering and being in pain of her powers made her happy.

The legion who The Master had sent to deliver the news finally arrived to the room. He was not shocked beyond belief, as he saw his two higher-ups in a brawl. This wasn't the first time, neither was it the second nor third, and it definitely would not be the last.

He sighed as he entered the room. He silently entered the room, not making his presence known. He walked to his fellow lower legion as he spoke in a hushed tone.

"What led to this fight, this time around?" he asked. 

The lower legion squatted down, hiding himself away from the senior as he spoke. "Senior Gimi was—" he began saying, but he noticed the other legion was still standing and would possibly attract Gimi and Zanir's attention.

He roughly dragged him down as he continued his conversation, "Senior Gimi was furious at Senior Malgrin because he failed his mission and also the fact that Senior Malgrin was dragging the Master's down plan and also the addition of healing him"

The lesser legion sighed as he rubbed at his temple. 'That pretty much sums up Senior Gimi's entire personality'

"Then what about Senior Zanir? Why is he on his knees?"

"Well- um- he came in to check up on Senior Malgrin and met Senior Gimi, slamming her legs against the wall"

'Slamming?!' 

Was something mentally wrong with Senior Gimi was the easiest interpretation of the legions' face. 

He sighed, remembering that he had a message to deliver. 

"Hey! Where are you going!!" He called out, trying to tug on his arm sleeve.

The legion walked around him. He folded his arms and bowed his head to greet. 

"Greetings seniors, I have a message from the master" His statement caught the ears of Gimi. She immediately pulled the threads from Zanir's body, not-so-gently, as she frantically walked towards the legion.

"The master? Did the master say something about me? Did he ask for me?" The lesser legion tried to and successfully hide the disgusted look from his face as he inwardly shivered the sudden change in Gimi's attitude. 

"Yes, he did," He replied, taking two steps away from her, "The master—"

"So what did he say to tell me?" She interrupted.

The legion's frown deepened as his irritation increased, But he couldn't mess up his plan. He knew he would get killed here and right now, so he was going to chew on his pride and annoyance and ignore the woman. "Yes, As I was reporting. The master said to inform Senior Gimi to accompany Senior Malgrin on his mission".

Gimi's eyes widened in shock that the complete overturn of action.
