~Then I hope my tolerance does not wear out due to anymore delys~ The humanoid shadow spoke. As he uttered, the humanoid shadow descended on the ground where the trees and plants died of flames and lightning, where there used to be an abundance of tranquility of nature and animals alike—reflected by the dawning sun and the raising three moons. The humanoid shadow stood and waited.
Leon's skin crawled hearing this, toppled with the fact that he may die if he expressed anything that would antagonize the member of the Dark Moon; torture is only the beginning. He knew how impulsive the member of the Dark Moon organization was all too well. They bear no rules of law to outsiders once they see you as an imminent threat. unless a powerhouse meddles, then your life is theirs.
'yes'
'i-we' although it is considered a taboo to forgo any information of clients to outsiders we-
'AHHHHHHHH AHGGHHH STO--
'AHHHHHHHHHHHHH'
Before finishing what he wanted to say, Leon started to feel his entire body suddenly warped in weird angles, his arms that he used to crawl from the green shift swamp bent and twisted. As if having no bones as a foundation, his legs began to fold slowly towards his waist. Leon could not even scream; he could only let a wail of sounds of someone in so much pain to the point where they couldn't muster the strength to yell for liberation.
Leon felt pain in his chest that heaved inwards; he felt pain in his arms that twisted, a mist of blood rains on the grown he calls a bed. And he felt pain in his mind. Leon was sure it'd all be over soon enough. No amount of time has passed yet, but Leon was sure now that the Dark Moon member was after something he held. More or less some information that seems crucial to them. Thats why Leon bedded his time and was willing to negotiate. Would a trade surely suffice, no?
Seconds passed, and the more the pain, the more frightened Leon became.
[This pain would never last that long, right?] The realization that he may be wrong caused a moment of panic.
[I can no longer endure this]
[i have to wait until he stops]
[when will he stop]
[please I implore you]
[stop]
*AHHHh AHHHHh AGHHH*
A grunt of noise and a gurgle that the demon named Leon was mustering to speak and at last
'Jac-'
'Jacob Win'
[Mox stop] Alden quickly commanded.
Watching this kind of thing happening gave even Alden the feeling that he was the one in the demon named Leon's place. Suppose he wasn't so imposing for intimidation. He would have already started to pat his legs for comfort just by looking at how the demon legs are now bent in a horrible shape. Alden wondered even how in the world is shadow Mox doing this. And why is this demon dying?
[It seems I went too far with this] Alden thought.
Alden is still new to these torturing tactics. If he had been more experienced, he'd be sure to get what he wanted by now instead of waiting for the prisoner to take a few breathers.
It took Leon a minute or two to gather his composure, but conflicting thoughts still plagued his mind. Soft moans and grunts escaped his mouth. Leons as that once reflected strength now that of one of fear.
While standing in front of the demon named Leon, The humanoid shadow began to stroll towards him and spoke.
~Now are you comfortable enough to speak~
~or will you impose your rules upon us again~
Hearing this and seeing the humanoid shadow walking towards him, Leon's body that's now deformed, started to shiver with fright and with the uncertainty of what would happen next should he delay anymore.
He has forsaken his pride and yelled.
'NO'
'NO'
'I WILL SPEAK'
'I WILL SPEAK' Leon chated
The humanoid shadow stopped midway and stared at the face of a frightened demon Leon. Without even waiting for the humanoid shadow to say anything further, Leon began to speak about everything he knew about the mission.
They go back and forth with questions and answers. As time passed, the night sky and full bloom of three moons; inside the forest of Luner circle, A humanoid shadow could be seen speaking with a demon that's near death's door. Leon confessed everything there is to know about the task given to him by Madam Laurelart to the humanoid shadow.
And at the end of the long dialogue, the humanoid shadow nodded with understanding. Then without even moving an inch.
*SHINGGGGGGG*
The head of the demon named Leon decoded from his body. His body near the swamp suddenly began to contort and suck inside itself. Strangely enough, as the body vacuumed with dark-like circular energy, in its place was a shadow creature. Inch by inch began to appear at the exact spot where the demon named Leon died...
The head that belonged to Leon rested stupor of disbelief expression and had not fallen far from its body.
Shadow Mox now began to stretch like an average canine who had just woken from sleep in its complete form. Walking to the head of the demon and wanting to eat it. Opening its mouth and stretching its neck to crunch the head
'MOX, STOP THAT'
'Bad dog'
'I need that.'
Shadow Mox stopped, stared at the head, and stared at Alden with its hollow eyes, then put its head down to the ground in a submissive pose.
Walking the detached head of Leon, Alden picked it up and spoke.
'come on. Let's be one our way; it's getting late.
[That idiot is probably losing his mind wondering where I went]
