       The words weren't registered after they were uttered, instead,
       Irusia looked ahead to witness only what her ears allowed her to
       for her eyes wouldn't; the muffled cries of the unfortunate, the
       shudders that ran through their pale bodies and outrage that
       commenced. Proceeding this; silence, and in the sudden scheme of
       it all, follows a grand smile on her otherwise undisturbed face,
       the sides of her lips curling up upon realising tonight she
       would gain everything they had taken from her, and it was due to
       the man before her, accepting her proposal, and jumping into it
       despite being unsure of the outcome. In actuality, he had
       weighed his options and realised there was no way out of it and
       Irusia can't help but shake her head at the irony of it all; he
       had set her a trap but now it seemed he was the one that was
       trapped.
       "Come. . ."
       It was a mere whisper but she begins directing him to the other
       camouflaged door at the back of the lock-up, creaking noisily to
       make itself known when she pushes it open, the harsh wind
       outside welcoming them into the backyard. Leaves crunched under
       her naked feet as she walks exactly six steps forward, stopping
       as if there was some sort of arbitrary line. Beyond this, to her
       right, there sat a black oak tree that grew like deformed flesh
       through the earth beneath. In the centre of it all, there was a
       circle, shaped by white salt, the bottle knocked over beside the
       tree. She would turn and take his hand, leading him into the
       circle, being careful not to interrupt it, while the candles
       around it burn brightly at their arrival, as if on instinct.
       She would take both of his hands and close her eyes, beginning
       to mumble incoherently, her words becoming clearer, all the
       while drawing from him to strengthen the archaic success of the
       spell.
       "Bîkan bo min, bîkan ba agr, bîkan ba bafr, bîkan, bmbana lay
       mrdû, bmbana lay s’hrî rash."
       And just as she produced the last word, there is a pull, almost
       as if it's defying gravitational forces, yanking them violently
       one way then another, until they're swallowed into the
       underworld, the dripping of water from the ceiling of the dark
       basement to the ground, was the first sound to make it to her
       auditory perception. Then the cackles of the three ancients as
       they step out of their confines and toward the two, each holding
       a lantern under their chins that cast a light on their
       unpleasant faces. They seemed overjoyed, and amused that she had
       brought a friend along; she could feel their rising chests and
       their yellow grins, moving in front of the man intuitively.
       "Oh Irusia. . ." the one in the middle begins, shortly after
       interrupted by the one on the right, "your father won't be
       pleased, child."
       "I do not care for the man," she speaks defiantly, addressing
       the one on the right once more, "do you have what I asked for?"

       Fear, confusion, absolute terror: They all raced through Aden's
       mind as he moved with the woman through the doorway to yet
       another drastically altered dimension. He watched from outside
       himself as the ritual was performed; as they were transported
       elsewhere to the domain of three withered and wicked looking
       ancients, and even as the three approached and spoke never truly
       felt as if it were real. So much in such a short time; from
       meeting her to being locked in a game he could not win, to the
       volatile fumes of some abysmal pit where the ancients lurked,
       and it hadn't even been an hour. There was no way it should have
       been real...
       But it was...
       The gravity of the entire situation fell upon his mind as he
       sank back into himself, and even as the dark mage beside him
       spoke, the words were but a distant hum. He could barely think
       let alone voice words that would be understood. He grew
       uncertain of his own conviction and want to fall so far. He
       thought of how to flee and where to hide. Even the thought of
       suicide ran through his mind. Yet his body would not react:
       Could not react, as he was torn from reality; through layers of
       darkness, into a ring of hell he hadn't known existed. Whatever
       lay in wait next was sure to be a picnic... There was no way it
       could get worse...

       The ancients all had distinguishable features for one who
       couldn’t tell them apart, because the three women before them
       were indeed, sisters and identical, at that. The one in the
       middle had a nose far too large for her face, to her right,
       Zavine had a mole on her right cheek, as dark as the basement
       they were standing in. The one on the left, Zelphine, white and
       grey hairs sprouting from her chin, that swayed up and down
       every time she breathed.
       “Oh I have what you asked for,” Zavine begins, pulling out the
       pendant from under her robe and holding her hand out, before
       giving it a second thought, and abruptly pulling it back, “it
       wasn’t easy getting this. I had to fight twenty men, each the
       size of overgrown mammoths.”
       Zelphine interrupts, taking the pendant from her sister harshly,
       whilst walking towards Irusia, “there’s dangerous power in this
       girl. The power they took from you. Even I can feel the
       magnitude of your gift and why they were threatened.”
       The eldest of the three places the pendant around Irusia’s neck,
       letting the dark stone fall betwixt her breasts. Irusia looks
       ahead at all three, inclining her head, before turning toward
       the man behind her, stricken with terror and seemingly locked in
       a trance. She could practically feel his fear, especially with
       her power regained. They had created the stone as such that in
       order for her to be able to draw from it, it had to be on her
       person, not only that, but it had to be on her skin. And only
       hers.
       “Ladies. . . I realise you haven’t been fed in a few months.”
       Their eyes brighten with delight, as they lick their wrinkled
       and old lips.
       “I’ve got sixty bodies, twenty for each of you, which should be
       good enough for the next ten years.”
       “But?” Zelphine asks.
       “I’ll need fifty percent of the power you gain, split between my
       friend and I.”
       They take a moment to discuss the deal -too good to resist-
       before agreeing and once they do, Irusia wastes no time in
       getting out as quickly as possible, taking Aden’s hand in her
       own and transporting them back to the garden. She furrows her
       brows and places a hand on his cheek, the cackle of the witches
       in her human prison ever present as they ripped and fed on the
       fresh meat she had provided.
       “Listen. . .”
       When they finish, the screams come to a gradual end and Zelphine
       alone, comes out, interrupting Irusia, who was now detaching
       herself from the fellow mage to place a finger one both of their
       foreheads. The soft hum of a spell fills the air and she
       vanishes before they can decipher it. Not a moment later and a
       bright light flashes over her eyes, a surge of power rushing
       through her very veins, an overwhelming power that was new to
       her body, the same thing, undoubtedly, happening to the man
       beside her.

       Aden could barely think let alone act, as the entrancing woman
       who had drug him into the darkest parts of her own hell, and
       used him as a catalyst in some grand evolution, once again
       pulled him from the nightmarish sights and placed her delicate
       hand upon his cheek. He didnt care for the thought of power; of
       such possible deviation from who he was, and yet after all was
       said and done, he knew he would enjoy it. Even at the cost of
       his soul, he knew it would be undeniably satisfying to feel the
       powers of ancient magic... and it was with that final thought
       stuck in his head; free from the grip of the enchantress who had
       torn away the veil he himself had placed over his eyes, that he
       let himself fall upon the darkness with great hunger and greed.
       When the humming began and Aden lost sight of everything around
       him, he was certain at first, that death loomed just ahead. He
       had never felt such tremendous power; not from himself or even
       his master mage, and even when his own body fell to the earth
       like an unconsious ragdoll, that fear clung to his soul like a
       leech. He twitched and spasmed; unable to wake from the tortures
       of his own mind, as every fiber of his body was loaded inch by
       inch with an unearthly energy. From his beating heart outward;
       pumping throug his veins like liquid fire, his entire form
       burned and throbbed. His eyes spastically darted to and fro
       inside the sockets; though he was as blind as a bat, comatose
       and unaware of what his form truly endured. The pain was
       unbearable, nigh on impossible to fathom, and without hearing it
       himself, his screams of agony echoed from his lips with gasps
       and tortured breathing barely noticeable in between. He writhed
       and shook from head to toe as his mind reeled and sought to
       escape the tidal wave of power crashing over him.
       Yet, there was no escape. Not from the power, nor the pain it
       caused him. He had to endure it, and there was no help for him
       in doing just that. He fought back the idea of death as the
       power reached the core of his being, and before he could make
       another sound in protest; think or contemplate for even another
       instant, he sat upright in the dirt and silence overwhelmed him.
       His mind went blank; soulless white eyes now staring out at the
       garden before him, as every part of who he was disappeared in
       the wake of the surging energy, and he was methodically reborn
       anew. His fingers hung at the ends of lifeless and unmoving
       hands, as they too hung limp at the end of dead arms attached to
       an unmoving body. Only his lips moved; though the words that
       fell forth from them were as silent as his shadows, and only in
       ushering them to himself, did he finally awaken.
       His eyes settled slowly; turning an irridescent combination of
       blue and greens, as he casually wiped away the dirt from his
       clothing, and once more stood up. At first he had no idea where
       he was; who he was, but as the seconds ticked by, everything
       clicked back into place, and an understanding of all that
       transpired washed over his features. He had no idea how long he
       fought off the urge to die; the pain and anguish of the
       experience seeming to last an eternity in his mind, but when he
       once more looked upon the woman who had led him so far astray,
       he didnt care. It was over, and he was free. Truly free as he
       had never been before...
       He was no longer afraid of the darkness he trained in; no longer
       hated the silence he walked through, and was no longer alone in
       his separation from the mortals he used. She had broken those
       threads of fear and confusion in only a day, and yet now there
       hung another unseen string between them. He could feel her power
       of that there was no doubt; though he knew her to be dangerous
       from all he had seen, and yet he could also feel so much more
       from her. The powers that had been given to them both; by the
       horrid creatures that lurked beyond the shadows of reality,
       united them. Aden was certain; before he knew the sound of his
       own voice again, that he could not be without her. Not for love,
       fear, or anything so idiotic; but because his weak soul had been
       sung into the very fabric of the arcane powers they shared, and
       now he stood with a piece of himself etched into her.
       He could not let her suffer, or die... Unless he too wished to
       bear the same result...
       He had once again lost, and was trapped in a game he wished to
       quit. Forever beside her; unable to escape, as well as unwilling
       to try... Aden was hers and hers alone; her pawn, her servant,
       her shadow, and whether or not she could feel the binding
       thread, he would serve her without complaint...

       Ahead of her renewed soul, Irusia felt three emotions making
       themselves home to her very bones, and upon taking comfort in
       her skeleton, her heart, behind the barrier around it, curled
       and tightened within itself at the sheer weight of all the new
       feelings, introducing themselves indecently. The first,
       vengeance, giving the impression of being concerned with
       Irusia’s current exiled position, when truly, it was here to
       trap and lead her into ill-advised decisions, ultimately. It
       geared toward bloodshed, her father’s neck detached from his
       body and hanging on a pike. And as the thick fog clouding her
       psyche begins to part, there’s a shift in gear, swaying towards
       the second. This one, she wasn’t so familiar with so when she
       discovers the aftermath of indiscretion and sin leaving a bitter
       aftertaste on her tongue, she realises it can only be one thing.
       Her body turns to the man beside her, the way he drops to his
       knees, as still and as lifeless as a corpse, causes her eyebrows
       to furrow. His lifelessness looms over her and in her stagnate
       position, you can sketch out the realisation on her face that
       she had compromised her own moral standards -those of value to a
       thief anyway- and her violation of Aden bore a significant
       responsibility on her subconscious. It screamed at her to feel.
       Feel a little remorse for the man, but alas, she soon overcomes
       that slight hurdle and comes to face the third emotion.
       Valour. Though the woman had never been one to cower away at a
       challenge or fear something so greatly to run from it, she could
       physically feel the strength of a new backbone, one that would
       easily withstand a battle against the older arcanes; against her
       father’s supposedly imperishable army. If Aden was her pawn, she
       was the Queen who controlled the game, and in this one, it
       seemed there was only one ending, befitting that of royalty.
       Humans would perish, they were too weak for this gamble, but the
       pale haired woman would stand tall, with a crown on her head, at
       the end of it all.
       Yes, they owned the city. Aden, and Irusia’s city.
       She gathers his hands in hers, and surely, she felt it; the
       impalpable string that bound him to her. The hunger to stay by
       her side, and his undeniable relinquished sense of loyalty - he
       would go to the ends of the earth for her, there was no question
       about it. Where she didn’t have sight, he would be her eyes, and
       where her ears were too weak, he would listen. For the first
       time since they made acquaintances, there is a glint of
       affection in her colourless eyes as they stare into his,
       unblinking and in her gestures, as a hand cups his cheek once
       more, no longer interrupted by noise, by wretched ancients or
       hollers of humans, and a thumb traces over his lips. It moves
       down to his neck, resting over his pulse, and she smiles, a
       wicked smile.
       “If you so much as think of leaving,” she hisses, pulling his
       face down violently, so it’s inches from hers, “so help me, I
       will turn the earth upside down and scatter its inhabitants.”
       Yes, they owned the city. Aden, and Irusia’s city.
       And she, owned him.

       The soft and delicate hand of the woman he had been forced to
       serve; to obey and care for, slipped from the point of near
       intimacy against Aden's cheek, and made it full circle to a
       point of tyrannical command as he was yanked towards her near
       whispering lips, and bore witness to the true damnation of her
       soul. Her words were like blades that tore into his mind;
       pulling apart his will to run or hide, as well as crushing his
       want to fight back entirely. He couldn't even find it in himself
       to be angry or hate her for all she had brought him into. The
       ability was beyond him and his unnatural connection to her. He
       wanted to hate her; to loathe her, and yet he stood in a void
       where anything involving her felt sacred and absolute. As if she
       were his new goddess... Perhaps she was.
       He closed his eyes whilst she spoke to him; feeling the sting of
       her power at the bridge between them, and when she had finished
       declaring her control, his eyes rose to meet hers and he smiled.
       His head lowered out of respect; low enough to expose the bare
       back of his own neck, as he placed a hand over his now darkened
       heart and swore a true oath of loyalty. He swore it in each
       tongue he could speak; to her through voice and mind, and when
       he had finished laying his life before her, Aden rose once more
       to look upon the vixen whom he now served unconditionally. Til
       earth turned to ash, and ruin was reborn, he would not let the
       body or mind of his goddess be daunted. It was his burden to
       bear; should a life be owed, that his own soul be purged from
       the world far before hers. It was with that idea in mind and
       with the conviction of a cleric of old, that Aden swore his
       fealty, and the same idea that danced beyond the brilliant azure
       of his eyes.
       "Lead the way M'lady Irusia" He spoke with a delicate caution;
       wavering between nervousness and fear, as he stepped beside the
       beautiful arcanist and awaited their next venture. Whether it be
       burning the world whole, stealing the moon from the sky, or
       killing the gods of old, Aden was prepared to test himself for
       her glory... In truth, he was uncaring of why he felt so
       strongly and even if he were face to face with all the things he
       despised in a soul, he would not stray from her. He could not
       stray from her... Or even want to... He could no more escape
       her, than he could escape himself.
       Adjusting the strap on his small black satchel; throwing it over
       a shoulder before donning the blackened smoke-like shadows he
       normally lived within, He waited patiently for instruction as
       his entire form flickered into a darkened corner of reality and
       nothing but his voice could be heard from within the shadowy
       torrent that circled him. There in that dark oasis; where
       silence lived akin to the shadows and without need for his
       sight, Aden closed his eyes and paid careful attention to every
       bit of information he could gather from the nearby woman. He
       listened to her breathing; to the rhythmic way her chest rose
       and fell, and fought to continue focusing on nothing more than
       their bond as he awaited the inevitable. For her to tell him
       what to do, where to go, how to act. He was certain she would
       not simply let him be, or let him feel the freedom he came so
       close to enjoying not so long ago, and yet he still hoped she
       would at least attempt to be as docile and demure as she was
       when she snared him...

       The way her name was uttered so naturally by her new warrior,
       the way it slipped from his tongue and made itself known to the
       chilly air of the night, one would assume they’ve known each
       other for more than a few hours. It crossed the woman’s mind at
       that moment, she had no idea what the man’s name was, nor did
       she have an infinite desire to know. That name belonged in the
       past and it was her job to brand him a new one - one that would
       have the same effects of a powerful opiate to those who, in the
       near future would have the privilege to hear it. One that would
       make opponents quiver with fear.
       “Warrior,” yes, she was pleased, “I want to show you something.
       . . let us go.”
       Tonight, he would be introduced to her past life and come to
       know why she had been thrown out of the singing bay - the
       lengths she had gone to with the dark magic she possessed and
       what had influenced the woman to stray so far and exchange
       humanity’s intimate hold on her for the bitter clutch of
       immorality. A secret that had been swallowed, perhaps by the
       recollection of herself lying naked and feeble in her bed, a
       length of punctured glass by her wrist, one that would not only
       be tremendously hard to implore, but re-live and yet she know
       that it couldn’t be avoided. The man beside her had sworn, with
       much vigour, his devotion to her and so it was the least she
       owed him; an explanation of some sort.
       Another portal, a mixture of grey and coal appears to the woman,
       her hesitation and unwillingness to delve into it detailed in
       the stutter of her step. What lay in this distinct dimension
       would not only upset her but anger the fighter -more than
       compliant to follow her- by her side. She also knew that once
       they passed into this threshold, time would cease to exist,
       every emotion would suffocate them and drive any feeling of
       safety and contentment away, therefore, one would have to be
       both physically, but more than anything, mentally prepared for
       the quest.
       The woman stepped into it, followed closely by her companion and
       the portal would close behind them the second her feet was in
       contact with cold, familiar rocks. The cries of the glacial
       waters resound through her hometown, that of which she had
       stayed loyal to for as long as she could. It brought her joy no
       longer to roam the walls of the almighty fortress of Virion
       Calarook. The moon sits in the sky, and a dim light runs along
       the hallway, stopping before a room with large, red doors, not
       completely closed. Beyond the doors, a trusted guard of the
       Kings, one with unfathomable strength and obsolete knowledge of
       magic imprisons the wrists of a girl, tainted with virgin blood
       as he gifts her with a night she wouldn’t forget.
       Irusia’s first rebellion was committed when she was but a child.
       A child made of macabre and mortar; a child following suit after
       Eve’s first rebellion in the garden; a child that would not be
       hushed and treated like a broken china doll.
       The woman pushes the door open, to let her warrior see for
       himself. The canvas, sure enough, to repulse even the strongest
       of hearts, would be one of an old man penetrating a girl to the
       point of death, a skinny girl with pale hair and bright, violet
       eyes. Eyes that are robbed of their innocence and clenched
       fingers, buried in blackened bedsheets. As the mage continues
       his merciless torture, ignoring the cries and whimpers of the
       girl, she clutches her pendant and suddenly there is a green
       incantation gripping the old man’s neck. It hurls him back
       against the wall, and he struggles against it, the colour in his
       body physically washing out. The girl grabs his sword and walks
       to the vanity, stepping onto a chair before digging the blade
       right into his heart, using the force of her magic to break
       through his iron-clad armour.
       She watches, with a hint of a smile, on her otherwise lifeless
       face, as the life drains away from his eyes and before he takes
       his last breath, she leans forward.
       “My mother did always teach me to stick ‘em with the pointy
       end.”
       What were five minutes seemed like five years to Irusia and when
       she turns to the man, angry tears gather in the brim of her
       ivory eyes. She walks past him and over to the balcony, looking
       over the Kingdom, and speaks, with a tone so cold-blooded, the
       wind itself scurries to find comfort from it.
       “Tonight. . . we’ll take back everything.”

       Aden followed without complaint; entering yet another portal
       into this woman's many worlds, and when he witnessed the
       savagery of her life before meeting her, he shook with fury. He
       fought with every fiber of his being to contain the animalistic
       rage that screamed to be let loose on the apparition of the man
       before him, and yet he knew there was nothing he could do. This
       window into the past was her way of showing him her trials and
       her pain; feeling it in every beat of his own heart as she too
       must have fought against the horrid memory, and when the man lay
       slain before Aden eyes, the once-thief let the rage go and
       watched his new master move. He had no idea of what horrors were
       to arise or what burdens would be layed upon his chest, but he
       would strike at any who opposed her without hesitation, and
       further prove his loyalty through whatever means necessary.
       He moved along silently; watching and following her with
       cautious patience, as he took in her words and etched them into
       his mind. He would be her warrior, her sword, and when she
       called upon him to move or act, he would be like the shadows
       themselves and swallow any who opposed her with silencing force.
       It was his place now; at the side of his new master, and
       although he could not fathom the idea of betraying her, he did
       not hide his all too real lust to impress her and prove himself.
       It was written on his face, in the beating of his heart, and no
       doubt she could feel it in the strings which bound them
       together...

       The fragment of the burdens Irusia had come to deal with, the
       one she had just relived was but a little peek into her former
       life, nothing close to the more devastating ones she had had to
       face. Irusia wasn’t so spiteful because of one thing, nay,
       things began to accumulate, and with it, her anger rose with no
       plans to be tamed. The King only added to it when he had grown
       tired of complaints from the residents, of people accusing her
       of being dark, controlled by some power they couldn’t comprehend
       and when he decided to go against his own flesh and blood for
       the terror that had shaken a few, war had become inevitable.
       In truth, the woman’s motherland hadn’t mothered her.
       
       As her brave warrior waits for her orders, no words exchanged
       between them but his fury and her turmoil, she coils her fingers
       around his, before placing her other hand on the slope of patio.
       And there it was.
       A guard had caught wind of her presence and was making his way
       sloppily to the room they had been standing in just a few
       moments ago; he was alone, that she knew for sure but why? The
       woman turns to the man beside her, tilting her head back
       slightly, letting the earth’s candle accentuate her high
       cheekbones and sharp jawline. Enticing as she were, her
       colourless archaic orbs were also petrifying – they were a
       cavernous, bottomless pit of irrefutable bloodlust and hunger to
       take back what belonged to her.
       With ichor.
       “I need you to be my eyes.”
       
       As the last word dissipates with the wind, she puts a finger to
       her lips, before taking a few steps back so there is a little
       distance between them. The guard frantically pulls open the red
       doors, mouth agape as he finds nothing, and quivering with fear.
       He begins questioning himself, maybe he was wrong, perhaps he
       hadn’t felt her and it was all a misunderstanding, caused by the
       long, tiring night shifts on patrol. As he walks forward, the
       rattles of his teeth become prominent and Irusia smiles, the
       taste of a new victim quenching her hunger before she had even
       gritted her teeth into him. How unfortunate.
       “Go,” she whispers to her warrior, her body fading away,
       seemingly into nothing. Nothing but black smoke left in her
       wake, she appears behind the shaking guard, his archaic powers
       of no use to him.
       
       “It’s beyond me how they even thought you were qualified for
       this job.”
       Before he can turn to face Irusia, her nails dig into his neck,
       squeezing harshly, feeling the tender skin tear and the blood
       dirty her own as it slid down. She could not see it, but she
       could feel it; his beating heart almost begging to be freed, the
       cage around it making it harder for him to breathe, or maybe it
       was her fingers around his oesophagus, who knows?  As she digs
       harder into the bony segments, she feels them crack under the
       pressure, forcing him to drop to his knees and his eyes to roll
       back into his head.
       
       “You poor. . . poor thing.”
       Nothing but humour laces her voice.
       And to make her omen of war even more poetical, her free hand
       drags his shoulder down, as the other around his neck yanks
       upward, detaching his head from his body completely. She carries
       the head to the balcony, letting his limp body fall to the floor
       before hurling it across the kingdom, with all the strength she
       could muster.
       By the end of the week, the land would belong to Irusia.
       Irusia, and her Warrior.

       Aden was normally hesitant; preferring to bait his prey and
       weigh every option available, but with the fury and lust for
       destruction brimming over the edges of his new master, he too
       could taste the bittersweet bloodshed to come. His voice echoed
       inside his mind as the onslought began with but one isolated
       guard "The beginning or the end, I shall be as your shadow" He
       would not vanish from the room instantly; waiting for Irusia to
       finish with the dirty work of tearing the needless head from
       atop a carrion's delight worth of wasted meat, but as she neared
       the balistrade and tossed the still fear-stricken face off into
       the kingdom below, he would fade into oblivion behind it.
       His shadows coiled about his form; slithering and whispering
       dark promises to their own master, as he washed down from the
       overlook and moved from place to place. He listened to the
       growing darkness at every narrow crevice; pulling the tainted
       midnight with him as he traversed onward into the kingdom below.
       Soon an unearthly quiet would befall all the land he had
       touched, and in the wake of his maddening silence, his master
       would usher in her new kingdom's beginning. Whether it all
       burned before her or whether she wanted to sink it into the sea,
       Aden could care less. He would swallow the land whole; listening
       to every beating heart, watching every sullen child as
       melancholy and mayhem spread like a plague. Their voices would
       be gone, their daylight would die, and he would move amongst the
       cattle like an unseen wolf... Waiting for Irusia.
       For her next command; for her to but want something or someone
       gone, it was what he lived for, and he would not falter as her
       new warrior... He would consume all who opposed her; twisting
       their world into one of unfathomable darkness. He would strip
       them of their sight, of their hearing, of their hope: He would
       rend them from their homes and their reality: He would leave
       them in a pit of despair and watch as she reached into the
       blackness to crush their very souls...
       This was to be the way the new world worked, and with his master
       guiding her own will through his hands and feet, they would
       usurp the divine and ignite the hells with their rage.
       Together...
