That night Zeus had a difficult time sleeping. The voices in her head haunted her and degraded her self worth. The future will be repeated again and everyone will die, there is no use of trying. The voice manifested into a figure only visible to her, a replica of her reflection with all black eyes. Do you think you can make a change? It whispered, you are weak…your end is inevitable. It giggled wildly, if you want I can help…let me help you.
Zeus ignored the voice but doubt slowly creeped into her, she maintained her cool facade. Lately, the form of the voices has become more and more visible. The words it spoke seemed to speak into her very soul enticing it to let it be taken over. It seemed the more she used the mask of Yama the stronger her inner demons got, she refrain from using it unless she had too. She just considered those voices as an intrusive thoughts or maintain her sanity.
Another worry seems to cloud her mind, she still hasn't been able to locate Damien. How do you locate someone's who existence isn't written down in record. Fei had been no help and Victor doesn't know much either about Damien whereabouts in the past.
Pot! She called out telepathically, you didn't tell me using the mask of Yama had a side effect.
You can't blame me Master, no one that I know of have successfully activated the mask. I don't know much about it.
Zeus sighed, do you have anything to help with mental demons?
Pot took while to reply, yes…yes I do…it's a manual book made by an ice user and it calms the mind and tames inner demons. Luckily for you master you are able to use it because you use all elements. It will be easier to use if you practice with one of the weapons.
Madame Practice with me I have a affinity for ice! Katana's voice chirped.
Zeus chuckled, "ok Karina." They began to immediately practice the manual script. Pot had forgotten the mention that the manual would cause the user to admit a cold a desolate aura causing people to be intimidated.
Zeus fell asleep later that night, her dreams beckoned her to keep walking through familiar roads. She stopped in front of a unfamiliar bakery and she walked through the door and passed through walls. She found a ordinary looking man with brown hair and brown eyes he was sweating excessively. His eyes zoned in and zoned out, he didn't seem in the right state of mind. Zeus hand unconsciously patted his head and there she was sucked into somewhere. A lonely figure stood alone in the darkness, he had black hair and a familiar set of grey eyes.
My family doesn't love me…nobody wants me it's unfair. The figure mumble and mumbled on. He seems to be craving for love and nobody was able to provide it for him.
A figure made of pure darkness swirled into a form next to the figure that was continuously mumbling.
Hello hello hello! Young lord this is why the master adopted you…because he loves you. Why don't you take revenge against those who abandoned you and those who basked in the warmth and love you couldn't.
Zeus wanted to intervene so bad, don't listen…that's not true! No matter what she did it wouldn't go through, it felt like there was a invisible wall stopping her. Zeus watched furiously as the dark figure spew awful things. Zeus struggled to fight but it was meaningless.
Outside Shin watched Zeus who seemed to be having a nightmare. He placed his palm on her forehead sending warm waves of energy. Silently he disappeared into the back ground again erasing all traces of his presence.
Once the sun rose Zeus got up immediately and got dressed. She put on an ordinary disguise changing her hair, eyes, and facial structure. Kelly walked in confused, "young master where are you going so early in the morning?"
" Tell everyone that I am going…actually Kelly you got this," Zeus gave her a thumbs up,"cover for me won't ya." She jumped down the window and hurried away.
Kelly screamed internally, not again!
