Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 "In Captivity"

As I slowly awakened the little girl with the bright smug was greeting me as if I were her husband or her prey, but from the look of her eyes I knew it was definitely the last option. When I came to my senses I noticed that my head was still spinning so I tried to hold a conversation about my condition and what would happen in the future to me. But as I tried to say even one word I was getting dizzy again. In exactly that moment I knew if I fainted I would die! How am I supposed to accept my own death? How? There was only one conclusion: Even if it would cost every last stocked up energy within me to remain I would need it right now in this moment! When I finally was speaking, I sensed right away that an invisible force which helped me once before was helping me in this moment to stay conscious. As the words flew out of my mouth I said:' Who are you exactly? And why are you holding me captive?'. I desperately wanted an answer from that little girl, but all she replied was:' Young one, I'm the leader of the spirits! I've chosen you to become my body and blood! You can count yourself lucky and should feel honored! Thanks for putting your trust in me. This deed shall be rewarded as by becoming immortal by 'fusing' with me. 'Wait... What?!? Does she mean that she wants me to make herself stronger? If I can think of a way to threaten her with taking my own life maybe I could... But what if she thought of this opportunity and just wants to dispose of me? There must be a way out! Try to think!

When I started to think about that cold sweat was all over my body. My face grew pale and even the dumbest creature in existence could tell what I was thinking. Therefore there was only one way to survive this! But it's the biggest gamble in entire history and if she knows of my plan not only will I be killed by her henchmen or dogs or whatever... Most likely I will die! And the chance of failure was the biggest thing I could ever imagined. So to distract her I played along and told her this:' This one knows of your existence and experience completely. Even though I would like to become someone skilled for your service in the future I shall become your body and blood in order to help Master become stronger than anyone else. Therefore this humble one accepts the gift of immortality gratefully! If I'm allowed when will we start the procedure?'. When I looked her in the face and saw her green eyes shing as big Emeralds she replied the only way I wanted and expected her to:' You indeed know your position very well! Therefore I will grant you a wish. As long as it's within my means I will pull off anything you ask except for these things: Kill myself, kill you, kill one of our brethren without any particular reason, grant you freedom. ' I knew this was the chance. This was only now where I could think of a better way or to make my life longer. I wanted to look as I was really hard thinking. To appeal her more I even asked for her opinion once. But she didn't bother to reply.

4 minutes later... I came to the best solution I could think of in this time:' Please teach me and help me become stronger!'. It seemed this request was to much to ask off her because she again was smugging so much that I got guise bumps every time I saw her in the face. After she somehow managed to control her facial expressions she replied very fast:' This is within my means and thus will be granted! But remember I only make you stronger so I have more to chew later on!'. In the moment she finished speaking cold air ran down my spine. After that she freed me from the cage which was completely rusted and rund down. Despite still thinking of how to survive I needed to get as much information as possible and asked her:'What can I do to become stronger?'. As soon as she wanted to answer that question I was again unconscious...
