Chereads / Devil's Financier / Chapter 23 - Chapter 22

Chapter 23 - Chapter 22

I saw a world where there were goblins, trolls, ogres, magic, kingdoms, with a continent so large that it would take multiple generations to walk from one end to another end and it still wouldn't be 10%. A world that was so vivid and lifelike that couldn't be pure imagination, with elves and dragonic beasts. Colossus Beasts that soared into the clouds that painted entire cities with their shadow. Figures that resembled mountain ranges that came to life.

I peeked into her memories and saw it all, but they were far too vivid. I can taste the scent of the wind that carries a scent that I've never smelled in Inkosyth. Nostalgia, Memories, peoples faces faded in and out of her memory.

Pain, Sadness, Joy, Triumph, Disappointment, Anger. I felt it all. For a miniscule moment, no longer than a blink of an eye

Suddenly I saw a pair of brown hazel coloured eyes staring at me. They were eyes that resembled a dead fish.

Then a hand appeared from the scenery, like I was switching screens but this hand was painted onto screen. It grabbed me, and then I opened my eyes to the pretty girl on top of me, a vicious smile on her face,

She was completely on top of me. I felt her entire body weight pressed on my chest, her eyes now had a fury to them, red was leaking through.

Her pupil colors her iris shifting from brown to red, her hand right in front of my face, and through the glint of the sun I saw distinct clawed fingernails, centimeters from my eye, her teeth showed as a deep primal growl was heard, "Now who is the curious one"

I found myself smiling. "My apologies", I began, "I wouldn't have done that if you weren't so curious about me" .

Hesitation blossomed on her face.

"Just like you Ihave my own secrets" I continued, "I would've preferred to avoid doing that at all in the first place but I felt my life was threatened. I'm sure you can agree with me on that"

I continued to read her face, the hesitation in her eyes festered into a contemplative mood, before resorting back to anger., "I don't want to die. I'm Urie, 5 Years old, Urile Traversky and one day I want to grow up to become one of the best financiers in the world"

I felt the weight on my chest tighten, and I breathed a sigh of relief before it got heavier, this time she placed her butt firmly on my chest, without any of her legs supporting it. She wrapped her fingers around my throat, and then placed her thumbs on the base.

"Considering Killing me?" I spoke as I felt the air leaving my body.

"You're surprisingly calm for a 5 year old" She retorted. "Most would be crying or screaming"

"I believe we started on the wrong foot"I continued feeling her press get tighter, "You came at me about something very personal, I retaliated with a bit too much force,. Would you really kill someone. Ackkk- for a simple misunderstanding? Can you leave knowing that 2 parents are going to attend their sons' funeral instead of having their son attend theirs?

"...."

The grip released "Haaa"I reached into my personal realm, my arm feeling that space between void and space. I felt the thing I was looking for, and right behind her, where she couldn't see I pulled it out, like it was a crack from space, like the world was a curtain and I pulled it right out of the fabric.

She turned around, her eyes shot towards my arm before her monsterous wrist strength grabbed my arm forcing me to let go of my trump card!

Klackk 2 Demon Frosties from the InkosythEmpire!

"They were treats you like a monster!" I cried out. I was already on the ground! Her knee was stabbing my throat, threatening to cut the airway away from me, for the rest of my life.

"Treats?" Her grip released and I can finally catch my breath again.

I got up, wriggled underneath her weight. "To celebrate our new friendship!" I chucked "This needs to be a special occasion, Dear Friend"

She looked skeptical, "Friend?"

"Isn't that what we are now?"

"Friends" Her eyes felt heavy, a mixture of confusion, sadness and despair was accumulated in her eyes.

The Demon Frosties were a typical snack from the Inkosyth Empire. They were some test products, from Inkosyth by creating a subspace similar to Earth and wondering if we can artificially change the constants in a test lab and grow things there.

They were sent over as a test product, the issue was that it was far too expensive to build an entire subspace and to grow the ingredients necessary. It's like trying to grow a plant underneath a rock, holding the huge boulder as you wait for it to grow.

"Mhmm!" I nodded.

She picked up the treat that looks like a cartoon Scythiella, a fun fish like creature with one large eye and 4 huge cute fins! It was a symbol of cuteness! The outside had the touch of a biscuit donning the dark glazed golden color while the inside held a rich, sweet and creamy red stuffing.

It was wrapped in a thin layer of plastic.

She picked them up, and then tore open the plastic and began to eat it. She looked at me, "So what are you really?"

"Let's re-introduce ourselves" I sat next to her, rubbing my throat and picked up the Demon Frosties.
