" Ugh... fine. I suppose that's fair... "
Reylesh says as she looks back down at The Holy Omniverse Transcript on the table. You watch her nervously as she picks it up with her small hands and inspects it.
" Hmmm... very interesting... How did the book get locked like this in the first place? "
Reylesh asks as she tries to open it. Tom responds as he watches her carefully.
" Donny used it to create a new Omniversal element called Rosium when we were fighting a Valghul. Then he passed out afterwards and the book has been locked ever since. "
Reylesh tries harder to open it and inspects it thoroughly for a moment, then she rubs the face of the book gently as she gives her diagnosis.
" It appears that the book sealed itself because Donny overstepped his boundaries while using it. Normally, my Father would be the only being powerful enough to manifest Omniversal creations. However, since Donny did so as well, it looks like the book immediately bricked itself as a safety measure. I'm surprised Donny is still alive after doing something of that magnitude... "
Tom looks at you with admiration before looking down at the book in disappointment as he asks Reylesh a question.
" So what you're saying is that you can't open it? "
" Nope. Only a being created by my Father that has an Omniversal level of power would be able to open it, and I'm not even close to that powerful. "
You sigh in relief as you realize that you don't have to hold up your end of the deal with Reylesh anymore. Tom takes the book back as he responds.
" I see. Well, thank you for your help. We appreciate you coming out here. "
" Don't thank me. I only came here to get what I want, but unfortunately it looks like I might not get it... "
Reylesh says before immediately turning to you and pulling herself close to you as she attempts to entice you to get what she wants anyway. She rubs her body against yours in an attempt to arouse you as she begs in a dirty tone.
" That deal was hardly fair, Abbadon!! At least I tried to open the book, so could you please give it to me anyways?! I'll do whatever you tell me to!! Please!? I'll be your bitch if you want!! Doesn't that sound nice?! Having a God as your bitch!? "
You push her off of you as you decline her offer in a cold tone.
" You didn't hold up your end, so I'm not holding up mine. Shut your mouth and get lost if you're not gonna help us anymore. "
Reylesh sinks down into her chair and pouts as Gareth talks to himself.
" So the Gods have a Father, huh? I wonder why that isn't anywhere in the religious texts... "
Tom immediately changes the subject to steer everyone back on track.
" Okay, now that that's out of the way, we need to focus up. Sowzo said that the interference in Somniohm was coming from this place, so that means there's probably some sort of influence from The None here. Let's keep an eye out for anything suspicious. Donny, you- "
Reylesh suddenly shoots up at the table and you can tell that she sees something as she peers out into the mass of people.
" What's the matter? What do you see? "
Tom asks before Reylesh ducks down under the table and exits the booth to walk out into the mass of clubgoers, ignoring him.
" Should we follow? "
You ask Tom in a skeptical demeanor. Gareth answers you with his gaze locked on Reylesh.
" No need. I can track her through the crowd. "
You try and see if you can locate her yourself, but she's lost amongst the hundreds of Voldoorians on the club floor. You switch your vision to your Trap Sight and you can see her small figure in the crowd sitting on her legs next to a man who's using one of the female workers. She's got her face right underneath where he's penetrating the worker and her mouth is open to catch any stray seed that might seep out onto the floor. You then see the man climax deep inside the worker and pull out, then Reylesh gets up on her knees and starts to eat the seed out of the woman with her tongue. The woman moans and shakes uncontrollably as Reylesh's mouth is glued to her flower.
" What a fucking whore. "
You say in disappointment as you look away and divert your gaze to Gareth, who's enjoying the show with a satisfied smile.
Tom resumes what he was saying before.
" Okay... anyways. Donny, you remember what the King said about the missing people, right? "
You recall your conversation with the King of Moriarch and you answer Tom.
" Yeah, he said that there had been sightings of those people with their eyes missing, just like that guy that you siphoned the Light from before we entered the castle. "
" I believe that the missing people are being turned into servants of The None. If we can find someone that matches that description here, we might get a clue as to what's really going on. "
You look around, scanning the room for anybody that matches that description as you reply to Tom.
" Missing eyes, huh? "
You suddenly spot a man standing up on a balcony wearing a blindfold. He looks important, as if he's the owner of the club or a VIP guest, and you call him out to Tom.
" What about that guy on the balcony? "
Tom turns his head and discreetly peeks at the guy from the corner of his eye. You use your Trap Sight to see through his blindfold and you can see that his eyes are indeed missing.
" Good spot, Donny. Let's watch him to see if he gives us some sort of clue. "
Reylesh suddenly returns to the table with messed up hair and a dripping wet face from her debaucherous activities. You ask her a question in a rude tone.
" You done fucking around or what? "
Reylesh gets up in your face and her breath smells like semen as she replies.
" I came back for a smooch!! "
She remarks as she tries to climb on top of you and give you a wet kiss on the mouth. You hold her by her small shoulders away from you and she giggles playfully with her mouth open and tongue out as her dirty white spit drools down onto the booth seat. Reylesh then stops playing around and stands back at the edge of the table as she swallows it and tells you the real reason she's back.
" You'll never believe it, but the guy who busted inside that worker was one of the commanding officers of those four soldiers who tried to abduct us! He's the person I saw giving them orders when I absorbed their blood! "
" What? You were almost abducted? "
Tom asks in a concerned tone. You nod at him and go back to talking to Reylesh.
" So you just decided to go eat his load? "
You ask her with a disgusted glare. She replies with a smile.
" My ability to understand people's desires works with any bodily fluid, actually! Blood is just my preference! "
Your eyes light up as you ask her another question.
" So you know who hired them? "
" Yup. "
Tom then interrupts as he gets your attention.
" Donny. Look. Balcony. "
You look up to see the blindfolded man use a keypad to open a door and walk inside to exit the balcony. You track him with your Trap Sight through the wall until he suddenly vanishes. Tom speaks as he gets up from the booth.
" We need to follow him. "
You and Gareth stand up as well.
" Okay, I'm right behind you. "
You say before turning back to Reylesh and making a remark.
" We can talk about this later. "
" Where do you think you're going!? "
Reylesh says in an irritated tone.
" We're doing what we came here to do. I'm sure you'll have more fun being a whore out here anyways. We'll be back. "
You say before the three of you walk off towards a staircase that leads to the balcony.
" Hmph. "
Reylesh pouts as she turns back around, walking out onto the club floor and getting lost amongst the crowd.
The three of you approach a large bodyguard who's standing at the foot of the stairs who puts his hand out to stop you.
" You guys can't go up there. It's for- "
In the blink of an eye, Gareth throat punches the man and he falls to the ground gasping for air. Gareth then looks down like he's crushing an insect as he snaps the bodyguard's neck with his foot by twisting his ankle on his throat. Tom turns around and scolds Gareth.
" Hey! Let's not kill people unless it's absolutely necessary, okay? I know that you can just kill whoever you want normally but that's not how we roll, alright? "
Gareth looks at Tom confused, then respectfully agrees.
" Of course. That's right. You're the boss on this mission and you make the decisions. "
" Thank you. "
Tom says before looking down at the body of the dead bodyguard.
" Now we have to hide his body before someone sees it. "
" Sure thing. "
Gareth says as he picks the bodyguard's corpse up with one hand and tucks him behind a curtain, leaned up against the wall. You can barely see the bodyguard's shoes from under the curtain and you turn to Gareth and make a remark.
" Really? He looks like a kid who's playing hide and seek. "
Gareth looks at you with a sarcastic smile and responds with a blatant lie in a joking manner.
" I wouldn't find him if he was hiding here. "
" Let's go. "
Tom says before the three of you ascend the stairs to the balcony. Once you reach the balcony above the club, Tom tries to open the door that the blindfolded man went through with the keypad.
" I saw him type this code, but it's not working. "
Tom says as he continues to press buttons on the screen. He then stops and talks to you.
" If we force our way through, we'll end up making a scene. We should probably come back later. "
" Back to The Monument? "
Gareth asks in an inquisitive manner.
" Yeah. We should come up with a plan on how to get through this door. We also need to get the book open somehow. "
Tom says in a determined tone. The three of you then descend the stairs and start heading to the exit. Reylesh sees you and shouts.
" Hey! Wait for me!! "
You turn around to see her small body being held in the air and her short legs being held open by three buff men as they bounce her up and down on another male worker's shaft, using her like a toy.
" Put me down!! Put me down!! "
She shouts as the three of you walk out past the exit desk without her and the door closes behind you.
