What She Wants

They both stared at each other in silence, her handmaid was not too far away as she silently kept watch like a sentinel, there was something weird about that maid, but Rezar couldn't put his finger on it, but never the less the silence was making him nervous, and he didn't like it, so he asked again.

"What's your endgame Gynaika, for all of the help you render, for your loyalty and that of your people, what do you want in return, or what is it you hope to achieve." He asked as he leaned his back against the uneven tunnel wall, a far cry from the smooth tunnels excavated by the ants.

Gynaika didn't say anything at first, then she moved forwards until she was standing close to Rezar. Even though he had experience a bit of a growth spurt, she still towered over the sixteen-year-old, and with her beautiful she was, having her this close was extremely uncomfortable. Or if he had to be honest he was liking it a little too much.

Gynaika's skin was just light and dark enough that if she was living on earth it would be hard to determine just what color she really was. Was she light skin black, or was she white with a significant tan, it didn't, matter to Rezar though, she looked like the kind of woman you would find during the Brazilian carnival. The only thing missing was a skimpy bikini and an extravagant costume.

"You don't have to hide it Rezar, I can see it in your eyes, your desire. While you don't trust me, or my ambitions that's one thing that has never faded in the short time we've known each other, you want me, you want to claim me, to use me and dominate like every other man who sees me wants to, am I wrong?" Rezar narrowed his eyes and glared at her.

"That's not what I asked you for, my desire for you will not outweigh the fact that you're a threat and it doesn't matter to this conversation, you…"

"Oh but it does! It really does!" Gynaika said as she leaned in closer, softly breathing in Rezar's ear.

"W-what do you mean?" Rezar asked as his voice cracked and he was forced to swallow, hard. And it was all to his extreme annoyance as that more than showed that she had some sort of power over him.

"Your desire for me is the main reason why I'm still here, the fact that even with your ambition, even with the future of blood and death you know and have accepted you will bring to Elysium, you're still human enough to want me. It shows that fear is the only thing you lack, everything else is still there, and I want it to remain that way. You're an interesting toy Rezar Deathwind, a fun one that leaves me all hot and bothered just by the way his voice sounds." Rezar swallowed again as she was so close their bodies were only separated by an inch, her voice was such a sultry whisper that Rezar broke out in a sweat.

"Your very existence makes me shudder with anticipation, I can hardly control myself. Technically I'm 14 years older than you, but we both know in Elysium age doesn't mean squat to anybody, your body just has to be matured enough. You see Rezar, I desire you too, the first thing I did when I was put in your cavern was divine your location and did you know what I saw? Do you want to know what I saw that's made me all so fixated on you?"

As turned on as he was, the moment she mentioned that she was able to divine his location when he was in the dungeon, it felt as if he had a bucket of cold water doused on his head. This woman was dangerous, he already knew that, but this [diviner] class was fucked up. Its user had the power of a god by being omnipresent, she could see and hear everything.

"I saw you rip the jaws of crocodile monster in half, all the while missing half of your chest with your organs spilling out of your body. It was a terrifying sight, but even in the midst of that pain, you still turned around to place yourself in front of Screet; an undead that has no emotions and feels no pain. Sure he has a personality, but everything else a person needs to feel to be alive, he doesn't have it. And yet you saved him even with a foot in the grave."

You place value in useless things, but you also have an eye for treasure and a heart for conquest, you're a tyrant ion the making Rezar, and I want to make a Tyrant my pet. But even I know that I can't be your master, in fact I know even if you desire me, you won't hesitate to end me should I try to control or enslave you. You're a natural born monster, a destroyer, but above all and very funny enough Rezar…. You're a good man.

A good man that's evil and rotten to the core and would do everything to get what he wants and keep his people safe. I will serve you because your potential is one I can measure, and if I choose to serve, so too will my people. I will swear an oath of fealty, sign a contract if I have to, but there's something I want." Gynaika said as she pulled back, a sultry smile on her lips.

"I knew there was a catch to this, while I'm seriously flattered by your desire for me, it doesn't blind me to the fact that just like me, if not even more so, you desire power, and you want a lot of it. Even more than my appetite can handle, so I'll ask for the last time Gynaika, what do you want from me in return for your servitude." Rezar asked, his eyes blazing with focus and promise of death and pain should Gynaika ask for something he could give.

"What I want is simple Rezar Deathwind, the son and angel of death. What I want is you!" Rezar was caught off guard again as his brow furrowed in confusion and he asked again.

"What?"

"Yes, I want you. When you become a vampire and gain eternal life, you will turn, me first, when you become a village chief, only I would be worthy to stand by your side. As your diviner, shaman and priestess, when you become a town mayor, only I would be allowed to stand by your side as your second in command and your strategist. When you become the lord of a city with a rank of nobility, only I will be worthy to stand by your side as your woman, and when you become the king of a kingdom or the emperor of an empire, only I, Gynaika De La Muerte would be allowed to stand by your side as your Queen and your Empress. I'll give you children, and the world itself; ill use every tool in my arsenal to lay it at your feet.

All I ask is that the most important place at you side, you'll give it to me. You can think of this as a political marriage. So what will it be, make your choice now, I won't be giving you time to think about it. You can make a counter offer if you feel this is too unfair for you, but never the less you will give me my answer right now. So?"

Rezar was shocked, he didn't know what he should say to this offer in front of him, but she was right. He had to give her an answer, and it was obvious. Right now Gynaika was making a devil's bargain, and that made her the devil himself, or herself. But in the end the answer was all too obvious, he looked up at her and said.

"My answer is…"
