Captain pov
HOLY GAIA....
What just happened?
She sucked the life out of him just like that?
This is wickedness, WHY DID YOU DO THAT!! I screamed at systex but she just used her hands and covered her ears looking so unbordered about my screems,
What?
I haven't eaten in two weeks and my powers was depleting, I need a life force to maintain my look and my powers.
Besides, Axel asked me to feed on him so don't yell at me direct your anger at him she said pointing at Axel
She sounds so nonchalant that I know in my heart this creature doesn't have a soul. This creature is void and wicked and everything bad. One of my men stated crying and the sounds of his cry broke my heart. It's so difficult to see your men in so much pain but you can't do anything about it.
Cut this drama out and let's get down to business said Axel annoyingly. You weren't expecting me to let him out alive were you?
No Axel, but I wasn't expecting this also, I replied
You learn my name, brilliant, cause I couldn't stand the royalty shit anymore said Axel grinning devilishly at me
At this point I am starting to think if my decision of choosing my family over the princess is the right one, if this plan fails, my family and the rest of humanity is doomed to the same fate as my dead comrade.
No I can't fail. I just can't, for my family, for Lucia and for humanity, the princess kora must return.
Let us begin said systex and with a wave of her hand, branches grow form the tree just like before but this time it held me and my men up in the air curled around our waist and position us so we were facing up.
She began chanting her spells in a language I have never heard and repeating it continuously. An heavy wind below around us, from which direction I don't know, but the air was harsh and it kept getting worse.
After a while of continuous chanting she levitate in the air and brought out a little bottle that had dark green contents inside of it from her robe and one after the other, she poured it into our mouth and kept chanting.
After she stopped. She landed on the ground on both feet and kept looking up, is that it?, I thought, is it done already?
So what now, did we have fangs or grow a tail, or perhaps have two heads. Before I could finish contemplating on what have become of us, the wind came back but this time, it was hot in the room as tho we are in a blacksmiths workshop, immediately, systex eyes turned dark and she crunch down holding her stomach and yelping in pain, the next moment she let out an ear piercing screem and out of her mouth came a black smoke which filled the room and then right into our nostrils filling our lungs.
We all started shaking and our eyes also changed just the same way systex did and I felt a hand scratch from inside me and busting out my chest to come out.
I saw my soul leave me but the smoke enflouged it and swallowed me into its smoky figure. I am now locked up in a cage with no way out, a prisoner of my own smoky body.
I looked around and saw my physical body with a big gap hole in my chest where the creature I have now become busted out from. Not only me but all six of my men.
I let out a screen but what I get in return was a loud growl. I was shocked of my own voice, I tried talking but all I heard was growls. This is it, I have been completely transformed into the worst creature there is.
It is done shouted Axel, behold the birth of ghouls, systex how do I communicate with them?
Say the words and the will comply, no disobedience and no questioning from them, obedient and silent for ever. And they only take orders from you
True? Alright let's try this. Captain come forward.
I didn't want to move but the smoky me flow forward to Axel, what? I am not in control? This can't be.... This is my body I should be in control, I screamed but unlike before it didn't growl, all my tantrums inside my cage went unheard. I watched as axel laughed like a mad man and I felt like killing him right at the spot but I was only a soul in a ghoul, just like the little voice in my head that warned me of danger but can't stop me from going in when I was human, so am I in the ghoul, a small voice that went undheard.
Captain, kill systex was the next word that came out of Axel's mouth and the ghoul obeyed. I saw fear flashed in her beautiful eyes
No!! Axel!! This was not the deal, you are supposed to give me seven babies in return, one for each of the ghoul I resurrected for you. Don't do this Axel, you need me!.
My ghoul self flow towards her slowly and she tried to fight for her life but her skin started wrinkling, she is turning back to her original form, like the hag she is. I think to resurrect the ghoul she spent all her energy and life force and now she can't even uphold her own appearance. Even without me killing her, she will die of old age as an awful smell started oozing out of her like a rutting animal.
I got to her and opened my mouth and out of the smokes came flames of fire which licked her rotten body slowly until she was ash.
That's it my babies Axel marvelled at my handiwork, that's it, now for your mission you will go into the supernatural realm and bring kora back to me.
He throws one of the princess dress at us and we all sniff it to get her scent.
Th ghouls let out a loud growl as they flow off in search of the princess.
