Akuna

Akuna gazed at Xylon with an expression of bewilderment etched on her features. She had never encountered a demon inhabiting a soul keeper before, and as she observed him, she could sense the marked difference between him and his predecessors.

 Every past soul keeper had been drawn to her like a moth to a flame, worshipping her with fervent devotion. They had treated her with utmost respect and kindness, as if she were a divine being.

But Xylon was different, and Akuna could sense it from the very beginning.

As she tried to approach him with the same allure and seduction that had worked so effectively in the past, Xylon's reaction caught her off guard.

He bit her lip, rejecting her advances and displaying no enthusiasm for the physical pleasures she had to offer.

It was a stark contrast to the behavior of previous soul keepers, who had eagerly embraced her body and her power.

Xylon's eyes scanned Akuna's body with a discerning look. He could tell that there was something different about her, something that set her apart . She seemed to possess a certain power, a certain grace that was unique to her.

"So you are my servant here," Xylon stated matter-of-factly, as if it were a foregone conclusion. "Change this body of yours. Acting like a human is just making you look very stupid."

Akuna looked at him with a mixture of confusion and surprise. "What do you mean?" she asked.

Xylon paused, gathering his thoughts. "I can sense that you are not just a trapped soul, Akuna. You are something more than that. "

Akuna's eyes widened at his words, he had previously expressed his interest in having sex with her, but now he was speaking to her in a completely different manner.

Despite her confusion, Akuna remained composed and didn't move from her position. She continued to look down at Xylon with a mix of curiosity and bewilderment, wondering what he was thinking and what his true intentions were.

.

Xylon closed his eyes, taking a deep breath as he tried to center himself. He knew that the path ahead of him was not going to be an easy one, and he couldn't afford to be weakened by doubt or confusion.

The power of the last soul keeper was still churning inside him, as if it was struggling to find its place within him.

Despite Akuna's claims about the ritual, he was not convinced that it was necessary or even wise.

He had a sense that there was more to the situation than met the eye, and he needed to understand it fully before he could make any decisions.

As he focused his mind, he felt the power within him begin to stabilize, the trembling subsiding to a dull hum. He opened his eyes and looked up at Akuna, his expression serious.

Xylon's voice dripped with sarcasm as he spoke, a wry smile curling his lips. Akuna remained guarded, uncertain of what to expect, but she found herself drawn to the demon in front of her.

Slowly, she knelt beside him, her hand coming up to cup his cheek as she leaned in to kiss him.

But the moment their lips met, something changed. Xylon's eyes flickered open, and his gaze bore into hers with a cold intensity that made her shiver.

Before she could react, he had flipped their positions, pinning her beneath him with surprising strength.

Akuna tried to push him off, but his grip was unyielding. She stared up at him, wide-eyed and confused, as he studied her with an unreadable expression.

It was as if he was searching for something within her, probing her very soul with his piercing gaze.

Finally, he spoke, his voice low and dangerous. "You're hiding something from me," he said, his words laced with suspicion. "What is it?"

Akuna hesitated, unsure whether to trust him or not. But something in his eyes told her that he was not to be trifled with. With a sigh, she relented.

"I can't believe that you are capable of moving at this state, none of the past soul keepers did something like this before," she remarked, still wary of him.

Xylon could sense her hesitation, and he didn't have the patience to deal with it. "Tell me the truth," he demanded, his voice low and menacing.

Akuna shifted uncomfortably, but she knew that there was no point in lying to him. "Demons are just too messy! If only Arthur listened to me... my powers are simple. I have to ensure the continuation of this cycle. I am like a walking diary of this isolated farm, and with my powers, you could have a lot of knowledge."

Xylon scoffed. "I could read the books on the desk. I am not a fucking illiterate. Tell me what the real deal is."

At that moment, Xylon's patience wore thin, and he strangled Akuna without hesitation. He didn't have time to waste on her games and half-truths.

Xylon's hands trembled with rage as he gripped Akuna's neck tightly. Despite his anger, he hesitated to take her life. She taunted him with a smirk, daring him to follow through with his threats.

"You underestimate me," she spat. "Killing me won't solve anything."

Xylon's grip tightened as he glared at her. "You have been lying to me this whole time," he growled. "I demand the truth."

Akuna's expression turned guarded as she considered her next words carefully. "I cannot reveal everything to you, but I will tell you what I can. My powers are crucial to maintaining the balance of this place. Without me, chaos would ensue."

Xylon's eyes narrowed skeptically. "That doesn't explain everything. What else are you hiding? You fucking whore, nothing will happen here until you say the real truth , and if you think that you could get on top of my dick when I am tied hopelessly to the ground then you are mistaken , I will fuck you when I want to and not the other way around "

But before she could answer, Xylon released his grip on her neck and stood up, his anger still simmering just beneath the surface. He knew he couldn't trust Akuna completely, but for now he had no choice but to keep her alive and try to uncover the truth on his own.
