"Hey, mortal!"
"Still not responding?"
He could hear Hellestra, his Mistress's voice, echoing from the surroundings. He tried as much as he could to talk or move a muscle, although he couldn't see her or anything else. It felt as though he was trapped in his own mind.
"Yo!" She called out again, her voice louder this time, as if she had drawn nearer.
"Hey, handsome!" Her voice softened as she gently placed her hand on his head. Her touch seemed to awaken everything within him. Suddenly, he could see and move his body again, feeling fully alive.
Her touch had a magical quality to it.
Before him stood Hellestra, her skin glistening as if she had just finished bathing. Her eyes sparkled in the dimly lit space, captivating Dion's gaze completely.
"You actually got me beginning to worry. Are you that slow?" she teased.
Dion couldn't quite grasp what she was referring to, so he remained still, his eyes locked on hers. Perhaps he couldn't free himself from the grasp of her gaze.
Those were indeed some of the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen. There was something more behind those glimmers.
"Uhh, hi!" Dion managed to utter, completely captivated by her appearance.
"What took you so long to respond?" she asked.
"Your enchanting beauty stole my voice away," he replied, trying to be honest.
This response caught Hellestra off guard. She hadn't expected such boldness from him, especially not at this moment.
"You're quite bold, aren't you? None of those who worked for me had the audacity to talk to me like that," she confessed, still surprised.
"Well, I guess that's why they didn't make it!" Dion shot back with a smile. His confidence seemed to amuse her.
"I'm unique, remember?" he added, reinforcing his point.
Hellestra nodded and turned, walking back to a large, empty tub behind her. As she moved, her wet gown hugged her body tightly, leaving little to the imagination. Dion couldn't help but swallow hard as he observed this seductive display. It was almost too much for him to handle.
"Sadly, I'm yet to see my ban lifted in the meantime. Xalvador is still out there, isn't he?" she questioned, staring back at him sarcastically.
"About that," he started. "You were wrong about his rank, you thought he was just some regular Captain that I could walk up to and stab, thinking he wouldn't be heavily guarded. But he's a General, like a fucking General!" He reiterated, realizing the gravity of the situation.
A smile appeared on Hellestra's face, devoid of shock or surprise. She had already anticipated Dion's reaction.
"General, General Xalvador!" she exclaimed, then burst into laughter. "He was actually promoted after all. Nice. What else have you got?" she asked, still amused.
"That's all I've got," Dion replied.
Hellestra remained silent, her smile lingering.
"I was close to getting him when I suddenly found myself in some annoying dimension before ending up here!" Dion broke the silence.
"That was your mind. I contacted you, and you tampered with a few buttons, disrupting the connection," she explained.
"My mind?" Dion repeated, feeling uneasy. "You mean I was actually trapped in my mind?"
Hellestra nodded in response. At that moment, she snapped her fingers, and the tub in front of her dematerialized, transforming into a table similar to the one he had seen before.
"Why am I here? The soul sword could have been inches from piercing that bastard's chest if wasn't here," Dion said, his voice becoming impatient.
"Have you forgotten that today is the seventh day?" Hellestra questioned.
"Seventh day? What's the significance of the day?" Dion asked, still impatient.
"Wow, forgotten already? You must have had some nice and good days down there. Today is your Contract Renewal day, remember?" Hellestra reminded him of the agreement they had few days ago.
"Totally forgotten about that. Let's get on with it!" Dion said, eager to finish and return to his duties in Hell.
"Not so quick! I call the shots here, remember!" Hellestra's tone carried a hint of annoyance, prompting Dion to tread carefully and await her instructions.
"How was the help I sent?" she inquired.
"Viza is quite good, better than I imagined!" Dion replied, attempting to deflect the conversation away from any potential confrontation. He simply wanted to complete the task and return to his former life with Keyla.
"What's with these questions?" he wondered silently, but he responded warmly nonetheless.
"I would rate it a 9, as nothing is perfect," Dion replied.
Hellestra smiled, pleased that her creation exceeded expectations. "Although there are a few changes I will have to make, you can call it an upgrade," she added reassuringly.
"That's great. So when do you install that?" Dion asked.
"Exactly when you renew your contract," she replied, her hands gently tapping the table beside her.
"Now?" Dion inquired.
"Yeah," she replied plainly.
Dion glanced down and noticed his erect penis, which had been at full attention since he arrived but he hadn't realized until now.
Indeed, we remember things when they are about to be used.
"Not so fast. There are some little changes I've decided to make during the contract renewal. It won't be the same as signing a contract; it will be a lot different," Hellestra explained.
"How different?" Dion questioned.
"You will be going down below and deeper now," she said, pointing down to her lower region as her legs parted gently, her hands sliding between them.
"It sure will be fun!" she added with a suggestive smile.
"Why the waste of time then?" Dion asked as he walked towards her.
"You're quite impatient, I see," she said.
"What's there not to hurry about? It's worth it," Dion replied, approaching even closer with a smile on his face. Numerous intentions hidden behind that smile as he closed the distance.
"Let me get signed in already!"
