Captain... Captain... Captain
I heard the voice of one of my man call out to me
Captain.... Wake up.... I don't know where we are
I opened my eyes but everything was blurry
I forced my eye open and studied the unfamiliar environment I found myself in. I tried lifting my hand to clean my eye but I couldn't move
Why can't I move?
I finally opened my eyes and noticed that I and my men are being tied up together round and odd looking tree that looks dead but still standing.
What happened? Immediately I asked that question all the memories of last night came rushing in my head.
The king betrayed us I said out loud with evidence of anger and confusion in my voice. And who was that creepy looking granny besides him? wht portions where they talking about and most of all why did the king kidnap us, I need answers and I need they now or I might not be able to contain myself.
Anyone got a knife hidden somewhere? Now would be the time to bring it out, I think the king is under the influence of dark magic.
All your weapons are being held in our possessions and I promise to give them back to you after all, you are but a temporary hostage here, I suddenly heard a voice of a young leady coming into the cave looking place we were held.
She wore a robe like the person I saw last night but she didn't cover her face. Could she be the hag I saw? Am not sure I was too dizzy and my eye lids were heavy.
Without the robe covering her head and face, she looked so young, harmless and innocent, a type of face that will make anyone do anything for them.
She tied up her hair in a ponytail and let it fall behind her. She wore a light make up which gave her a strike poised look
From her face you might think she is a teenager but when you have been around for as long as I am, you will understand that even looks sometimes may decieve
Who are you and what have you done to the king?
I am systex, and I have done nothing to the king of Lucia, you see, we had an understanding, me and the king.
He wants to get you over to the supernatural realm and I wanted to come over here, to the human realm. I need my sacrificial lamb and it's hard to get it in the supernatural realm cause the king has placed a bounty on all dark witches, so who ever catches a dark witch, dead or alive and return it to the palace will be rewarded wealthy by the king.
Since I can't roam around and get my regular sacrifice and my powers are depleting on a daily, when the Axel came to me with the over of crossing you lots I immediately ceased the opportunity to strike a deal, and he agreed
I don't understand, who is Axel and how did he come to you?
Oh! I forgot, you see you humans are so ignorant of the simple things that are happening around you that is why your flocks are the most killed and most used in all the realms, neither the less, am not here to chit chat with you. I have an offer and if you cooperative with me, I will let you return to your family.
I don't want your offer, I am the head guard of the kingdom and by the power bestowed upon me by his Majesty king Lucian I order you to release me and.....
Cut the crap captain, look around you, listen, what do you here
Nothing...
Excatly....., nothing..... You are no where and no matter how you shout no one will come for you and your threats are worthless to me. So if you are ready let me know and I'll present you my offer.
I listen to systex and for the first time in my entire life I felt powerless, tied to a tree, no weapon to fight with, how do I win.
Am all hears I replied after a period of time
That's my boy, now here is the deal, the king wants his daughter, in other to get her back, you need to turn into something extraordinary. I can do that but I can't force it on you which means that you will have to accept the change before it work, so here it is, accept the change and bring back the princess then you can go back to your families. What do you say ehh?
What? You want to change me into a supernatural? Never! I can't tread my holy body for the likes of you? Gaia forbid, this is a sin
And who is righteous?, who!, listen to me captain, we all want something and the only way to get it is if we agree to help each other open your eyes captain cause if you don't you won't be the only one suffering the consequences, all your men will too.
I will leave you to think about it carefully for the rest of today, but I will be back tomorrow and if you don't still agree then the king will pick your wife's one by one and have the Wolf fuck them while you watch and if at the end you still don't accept the deal then we will pick your children and feed them to the wolfs. we won't stop until all the people who knows your name are slaughtered and no one will remember you anymore. You will rot right were you are sitted without food or water. And when this happens captain, remember that I offered you a way out but your pride didn't let you take it. Think about your men, think about their families, those little innocent children. Are you really prepared to go down that road for your pride?
