"You think too highly of me, i may yet again kill everyone someday, you should be scared" Mary seemed a bit taken by how uncaring Yunan was towards her confession, she expected a response, a reaction, maybe a facial expression change, Yunan gave her nothing, he just accepted it as a fact and didn't worry about the ramifications of her words. Again the answer was beyond her, she should really know what to expect from Yunan by now, she knew, but she still wanted him to react like ordinary people would. "So? If i die by your hand then i die by your hand, nothing to it, still, i have a feeling you like me too much to kill me, the same for everyone else, you like us too much to kill us, so what is the point of needing to worry about it, not like we can stop you even if we tried so just leave it be".
"Why? Am I worth that much of blind faith? Or is this your version of lip service?" Mary really wanted something ordinary at this moment, "you want me to call you a murderer? Maybe you like a traitorous bitch, i can go as far as calling you a cunt, but what will i gain from calling you such useless things, i like you, you like me, what is there to say more than I trust you with my life as much as you trust me with yours, i have seen you kill before, i have seen you torture, manipulate and even naked, what else is there to see? We both know this, you and me, is worth to you more than the lives of your previous party, so if you want me to call you names, we need to go to sex dungeon, this beach it too beautiful for such things".
Yunan set up a one person bed and laid on his side, he opened his arms and Mary joined him, they embraced each other under the stars, she cried until his chest wes wet with tears, and he silently held her close to keep her warm. "you are really bad for me, you take me to such a place and get me in your arms and then let me cry, you should try to be more romantic and make love to me to console me", "no, i can kiss you but that is it, my wives are waiting for me to impregnate them and i do not plan to waste my seed". " I can carry your child too", " no, that is out of the question, if i get you pregnant there are at least 4 guys who will use my flesh for entertainment for the rest of time, getting you with child is a hazardous action". Both laughed at how true the statement was.
"So, tell me more about your last party, i have a feeling i should know why they died, it's a self protection thing", "promise me you will not run away?" "I promise that if i act or say anything that makes you feel distant, not only will i make you my wife you will be the first to have my children, and you will give me a dozen of them, deal?", "How about we just kiss, you want to ruin my body?", "fine, now tell me that story".
"It started when i just entered the 20th floor, they were in need of a healer and i needed a party, at first i was a bit of an outsider, until i started to shag the leader, it did not take long before i was on good terms with everyone, the leader was especially good to me, i thought that was because i was his woman, i was naive then and gullible too. That changed as soon as we stepped foot in the thirtieth floor, i was no longer the main lover, and things started to go down hill from then on, i tried my best to get his attention again but was failing, one day i ended up offering to join him with his other lover."
"He had a grip on me and it kept getting stronger and stronger until i could never say no to him, i hunted for him while he was lazing about, i gave myself to other men because he wanted their favour, and that hold was getting stronger with each day, mostly thanks to the other members making me feel like it was my natural position to be lower than a slave for the leader, i carried that party until the 40th floor when i became too strong for the mental manipulation he has been stacking on me for years, still, i only felt that i was able to think a bit more freely, nothing more, it was not until the 68th floor that i understood what was going on"
"He wanted to control me to the point where pleasing him was my sole purpose in life, and i found out when he did not bother to hide his use of mind manipulation, inside the tent where the party was resting, he talked loudly how his mission was finally complete, how he never cared about me, and how all of them manipulated me into becoming what i was, that night i was told that my training would start in earnest, i was taught every killing art under the sun, every tracking technique, everything up to that point was for the sake of turning me into a weapon for him, an heir, i was to be the next council leader in the supreme cult, and he owned me, thus he owned the council"
" I waited and endured, until the 75th floor, when i was told my training as his perfect hunting bitch was finally complete, i pulled his heart out while he was laughing triumphantly, he died looking at me like i have wronged him somehow, his retinue attacked me but any who got near me died the same way, i hunted down those who ran away, i killed them all, and i liked it, the feeling of their still beating hearts, warm, sticky and alive in my fingers, i started recruiting after that, many tried to take me in, over power me, or manipulate me again, they all died, my first was Lucian, he was dying when i found him, he was betrayed by his party for some reason, I hunted them and fed him their hearts, when he was healed i tested his prowess and found him satisfactory, and from then on he became my loyal puppy".
"We found Fae inside the stomach of a monster, thankfully we had Anne with us for testing and we saved her, she joined after she proved her worth, Dustan was used as bait while his teammates ran away when they could not take on a boss and Balin was killing his way through a faction when we found him, as for Bai, he just walked in one day and joined us, i was impressed by his ability to sneak into my camp without me noticing that i kept him around, turned out there was much more to the things that bastard tried to teach me, even if i was able to overcome the best, there were some genuine geniuses out there and as you can see, all of them are better than me in their own job"
