" I advise you to change your weapon." Rosa insisted.
" But I don't want to. I think it suits my strengths the most." Asmin didn't give up either.
" You saw it yourself, how the handle went flying and yet you still insist. Do you wish to be killed. I can grant your wish just tell me straight forward." Rosa's katana braced Asmin's flesh a little.
" Wait..wait..wait..I really beg to differ. I think I can work with it. I said wait!" Alan slipped through Rosa's grip and ran to create a distance between them. However, it was futile. Rosa reached out and quickly gripped his neck. Holding him by the neck he made Asmin bow down.
" Youngest...it seems I have been too lenient with you. This time it is not advise. It's an order. Change your fucking weapon." Rosa was loosing his temper. Asmin was definitely sharper than a lot of people that's why Rosa was positive about him. However, if this son of a bitch stayed as stubborn as a mule, he will be killed sooner or later. Someone really has to show him his place.
Feeling the force on his neck Alan dreaded for his life.
" Okay! Okay i will change it!"
Alan loosened his hand, " That's like a good boy."
" Then I choose war hammer." Asmin said.
Rosa instantly grabbed him by the neck again, " What did you say?"
" I choose a hammer...a war hammer." Asmin repeated.
Rosa glared at Asmin, " Change it."
" Why..." Asmin wanted to say something but the grip on his neck tightened.
"I said change." Rosa enunciated each word in anger. He was literally getting sick of this youngling.
" Ow..Ow...then...a flail...I choose a flail..." Asmin said through the pain.
" This fuc..." Rosa slammed Asmin on the ground. He was so enraged that he felt his neck muscles getting cramp. " I asked you to choose a lethal weapon...a fucking lethal weapon..."
Asmin's head was dripping with blood. He felt pain after such a long time. The pain of being dominated. The pain of being overpowered. How long has it been since he had felt so.
" Someone...take him away..." Rosa yelled. Then he stepped closer to Asmin and whispered. " I thought you were like me, but you are just a fool with a lot of potential to waste. Nice. very nice. I guess you can't be a warrior. I will assign you to a brothel as a prostitute and you can just act as an informant. "
Rosa turned around and was about to walk away when Asmin suddenly grabbed his foot and pulled him down. Rosa fell back but quickly braced himself up. Yet his reaction was little late. Asmin lunged closer and punched Rosa in the stomach...then he kicked Rosa's leg with full force...Rosa felt a sharp pain in his leg. He heard his bone cracking from that kick. He felt his anger rising to max. He instantly balanced his weight on other feet and stood up. He pulled out his katana again and this time the blade pierced through Asmin's leg.
Unlike Rosa, Asmin instantly fell down and grabbed his thigh. Rosa on the other hand smirked and brutally pulled out the sword. Asmin screamed in pain. Rosa lunged forward again. This time, she aimed for the chest but the other party grabbed the sword with his bare hands.
" Don't... don't kill me just yet..." Asmin grumbled while painting.
Rosa chuckled, " You are begging for your life? Weren't you the altruistic saint who can put his life on the line but can't kill others."
Asmin glared at him, " I will not change my weapon. I will show you...i will defeat you with a non lethal weapon. I will..."
" Oh just cut the crap! How can you do anything if I detach this heart from your chest. That will save so much time. What makes you think I will wait for you to defeat me. I am not a fool. Unlike you, I don't give my opponent a chance to rise again." Rosa said it all while smiling like a devil. " Also, I am very pissed right now. It's been years since I suffered a broken bone. Yet you...this motherf.... you broke my bone with a kick...Damn you...I can't spare your life..."
Alan paused for a moment. After thinking a bit he said, " Alright. Kill me. Kill me and I will perish. But if I survived I will kill you...I swear...I will drain every drop of blood from your body. " He gritted his teeth.
" Haa...this brat..." Rosa was angered to death." The audacity of you to think that you can kill me. You can kill Rosa. Ha ha ha..."
Rosa squatted down and grabbed Asmin's neck. He pulled him up by the neck. " Listen here brat. You can dream whatever you want. I can kill you today. I can kill you tomorrow as well. I can kill you whenever I feel like it. You are nothing but a mere omega. "
Rosa released his neck. He stood up and walked away. " I will spare your life today. But..
I ..will.. kill... you. Keep your ears up all the time because I will make your death the miserable one."
Rosa went upstairs and disappeared from the bar for days. Asmin was also sent to the staff quarters to recuperate. When his injuries were clotted enough, he was assigned to work as a waiter.
However, he was not welcomed. The news that he broke Rosa's ankle soon reached everyone's ear and everyone glared at him with contempt. How can a stupid rabbit injure a tiger? It was absurd.
Rosa also returned to the bar after sometime. He was as cheerful as always. But every now and then, he would look at Asmin and smirk. That smirk always sent a chill down Asmin's spine. It made him feel like every passing day was his last day. He dreaded that if he ever let his guard down, Rosa's glimmering Katanas will untangle his veins one by one.
Asmin became wary of others. He was unable to sleep at night dreading that once he closed his eyes he will wake up in afterlife. Day after day he realised how important his own life was. So, he decided to get stronger. To get stronger than Rosa. To become so powerful so that he doesn't have to beg for his life again.
After he recoverd from his injuries, he went to blacksmith to repair his weapon. He could have asked for a new one at the bar's arsenal. However, the staff said that Rosa has ordered them to not give him any more weapons. He was denied several time. Now, he only had a broken ax for self defence.
At first, Asmin thought that non lethal weapons were better and if he had any life threatening combats, he can just use a pistol. However, after his battle with Rosa he realised how naive he was. A person can only train with a single weapon in order to perfect his movements. However, if that weapon was not good enough, the situation can easily become disadvantageous. At times, it can just become fatal for oneself. A person only had one life and he has one chance to defend himself. He can't just waste it because he chose a wrong weapon.
Now that he was left scared for his life everyday, Asmin felt regretful. He should have listened to Rosa. He was too late and now he was stuck with this broken bulky Ax.
Asmin arrived at the blacksmith workshop and asked for a few modifications in his ax. The blacksmith was an alpha with a huge body. He kept looking at Asmin greedily. Then he simply put his desires into word. " I haven't seen you around. A beautiful omega like you, how are you walking around like that when you should be warming someone's bed."
Asmin was taken aback. This was the first time he came out of that bar and he had no idea that people around here were so disgusting. But he still replied to the man because he really needed that weapon. " Oh I work at Rosa's bar and I am an immigrant."
After hearing Asmin, the man's face immediately change. He said in a polite manner. "Oh I am really sorry, I thought you were...Anyway, tell me what can i do for you sir."
Asmin felt his scalp tingling when the man called him sir. Turns out Rosa really rules this town.
" I want you to install a steel handle in this ax. Also, sharpen this blade a little." The he took out a paper from his bossom and showed it to the man." Can you also add this blade in the shape of an arched hook ?"
The man looked at the paper and said, " Don't you think it will become too bulky to carry?"
" Oh. just use steel instead of iron." Asmin countered.
" But still the ax blade is too heavy. Adding extra weight on it will slow down the movement." The man said.
Asmin looked at the man with hope and said flirtatiously, " Oh can't you do anything about it? I heard your weapons are the best." The Asmin grabbed his hand and said in a sweet voice. " Please. Help me, nah."
The man giggled and said, " Okay, okay, I will do it. You are too pretty to refuse." Only heaven knows, how many times this man has said this same line to other omegas.
He took out a catalogue and said, " How about I make this for you? The body will be entirely made of steel." He said.
Asmin looked at the desgin of the weapon, it was an steel axe which had a hook on it's side. It's shaft was around three feet long and there was a rubber grip at the end. Asmin instantly fell in love with the long axe. He nodded in agreement and then said, " How much will it cost?"
The man grabbed Asmin's hand and rubbed it, " I can give it to you for free if you can make me happy."
Asmin was thoroughly disgusted but he still played along. " hmmm...Okay...call me when it's ready. This is my number." Asmin gave him the bar's landline number.
With his agreement, the man became even more courageous. He held Asmin's hand and said " How about you give me a little motivation right now."
Asmin pulled his hand away and still smiled reluctantly, " This movie has no trailer. I can't give you spoilers right now. Where is the thrill in that?"
The man greedily smiled at Rosa and said, " Then I will be waiting for the premier."
Premier your mother...Just make the damn weapon so that I can kill you with it.
Asmin smiled and walked away.
