"Two-hundred and seventy one? You want me to send all of them towards that place— is it that bad there?" Vrabam inquired, looking at the dots on the area which was supposed to be the target, being view on the screen. In actual fact, it wasn't that he couldn't do it but he'd never actually killed, since Zlatan was quarterly alive.
"You counted them not me. The task is to deal with them. Duh, they're rottened to the core so why care." Ino said with a neutral and unbothered expression. She was a sphere and literally looked like an emoji with the dash as a mouth, but with sliver eyes instead. "Hmm, but I'm actually feeling quite shy about doing this you know."
"You are what?! Better get the heavens out there and hurry up with it— you don't want him meeting you here." Ino ordered, his words unbelievable to the ears she didn't have. "It's the truth and who care if he comes, you know I am his favourit—"
*SHWUM!
"Tsk, his favourite my foot." Ino sneered, using a foot she never ever had. She now stared at the void where Vrabam was seconds ago. If it was only brains she got from Omnis, she'd have to bear with his stupidity for eternity. However, having the teleportation ability also, he was far easier to deal with sometimes.
"Now when is Omnis supposed to arrive." She'd have had her hand on her chin if she had one, as she thought out aloud. "Our mission is literally complete here, his arrival decides what happens next. Heee, I'm sure he'd have gotten a gift for me— I'm his treasured one after all."
"Ahah, where is Zlatan?" Turning to check on their captive in the void, her eyes widened as what was before her almost scared the ghost out of her— if only divinities had one.
Towering over her was a wide open mouth, she could see all the contents within and as usual, as if she'd found a new specimen to experiment on. Her thoughts moved with lightning speed checking and taking every detail from the teeth, it's parts— the enamel, gum and whatever the others were. Finally now rolling on the reddish tongue, she divided it checking the bounciness at each part of the tongue. That was her method of determining the sweet and bitter sides, something only she could probably do. Examining from the dagger like incisors to the canine swords, premolar battering rams and molar towers, she noted all ensuring a spec of knowledge didn't go to waste and got a good view. Soon reaching and finding herself staring at the uvula, she'd wish she could go for a swing on it. However, that didn't catch her attention, like what was after it did. It was dark and the curious mind of finding exactly what was down there, just brought her a certain excitement many wouldn't understand.
"I just wonder, what about a bit of a sneak peek?" She remarked, unknown to her that someone was in support of her quest for knowledge, but in a different and delicious way instead. Just then everything went dark, her glowing sliver eyes lighting up the area when she realized how dumb she'd been now. "Ugh, now I feel as stupid as Vrabam."
"Mm?" Zlatan couldn't get it. 'Where was the egg? Did I eat it?" He thought, feeling nothing weight in his mouth one bit. However, in actual fact Omnis now sat at the back of his tongue, near the opening to his throat, yet there was a reason he couldn't feel or taste anything— he wasn't alive or dead at the same time. As currently, he was just a soul and therefore didn't have a working brain or else he'd have noticed he wasn't in is grand family mansion already. However, though being currently ruled by his subconscious mind, even the subconscious part of him was no different from his conscious self— they were both addicts.
Still confused, his mouth opened up once again as he reached in with his hands to check. Getting a grab of Ino before she could realize, as she was in a debate between herself and mind on the decision to take. Since despite being able to use teleportation, she could only use it twice until Omnis reactivated it. So escaping out of there would have been a snap of a finger, yet how'd she run away without legs or hands. Ino never moved and she couldn't even teleport farther enough to wait out Omnis. Why? Because, she had to see where she was moving to, before teleporting there of course.
"Ahh, put me down! Put me down!" Ino yelled, coming out of Zlatan's mouth. Thinking he heard something, he looked at the sphere which actually didn't look like an egg upclose. Staring right at him with furrowed brows, Ino would have had her hands folded up also— as we all know, she doesn't have… let's continue.
"Mind explaining why you ate me huh?" She asked only getting a blank stare in return, as if she'd said nothing at all. "Heyy, didn't you heeeearrrhhh!!"
Just like that, his hand moved towards his mouth once again. He didn't care whether it talked or not, that was all he had to satisfy his now hungry soul. No matter what he'd gobble it up since that's what his tummy craved for but first, he'd take lick then a bite.
"Aaaahhh, somebody help meeee!!" Ino screamed out, watching herself approach those incisors which soon moved up, only to make way for his tongue. "Help! help! help! Vrabam!!!" There was none to save her from her fate now, at least there was none, except herself.
*SHWUM!
Immediately disappearing from Zlatan's grasp, she found herself back on the void and not near him. Huffing and puffing as she tried to catch her breath though she didn't actually have a nose but a mouth instead, yet still no body construct to support a respiratory system.
"Phew, now I'm finally free from him. I wonder what got into him, he wanted to eat me. Do I look like food here or something? When did souls even start eating?" Rambling to herself, knowing she'd covered the distance enough to wait it out till Omnis arrived. "Ugh, better keep an eye on him."
Turning to look back, Ino froze and so did Zlatan who had his hand coming down on her. First off, the distance in the void was immeasurable since everything looked the same as one wasn't able to tell the difference between far and near. However, most importantly, that wasn't the major factor here.
"No one told me maths was needed that much." Ino mumbled, she'd wasted her chance of escape having rather teleported armslength away from him, not lightyears instead.
"Oh, dang it." She watched helplessly as the hand grabbed onto her once again, knowing to surrender when all hope was lost.
*CRA-CRAC-CRAC-CRACK!
The void began to crack open up from above them, as if it were nothing but a glass and soon a large portal could be seen.
*SHHWUUUUUM!!!
In an instant, a figure emerged from the portal into the void being not only gigantic but extremely bright and blinding.
