Maverick
The sword that Sloane gave me founds its way into this siren's tail. Something caught my attention. The princess dodged the rock by sliding under it and grabs her blade. She's good.
I pulled the sword out moving my hand over to the right; a shadow wrapped around her foot pulling her to the ground. The shadow drags her across the floor. It disappeared leaving someone to deal with her. A guard run up to her bring it's claw down missing her.
She plunges the sword in its head flipping the body over with her legs. The princess stood up and looked at me which caused me to smile. "You an ass" she said obviously annoyed with me. I gave her a simple shrug and went back to fighting "What can I say? My ass does look good up here, so thank you" I replied.
Suddenly, a bright light blinded me for a moment giving my opponent a perfect opportunity to attack. I low position getting ready as a siren got closer. My sight was barely there but I acted quick swing the sword cutting off his head. "Thought you had me".
Sloane falls to the ground raising her sword blocking the opponent's attack. "You're mine now" the siren yelled as the range become shorter between them. My shadow strikes the siren in the chest sticking her in the stone wall. Dead instantly.
Loud sounds of creatures yelling, blades clashing, and broken things weren't in focus. Just her.
I raised my left hand causing the shadows to swallow the group that was behind me. Even my powers have limits, and I am running out.
It was getting harder to control them now that I was not under Oasis's order.
I can't remember where Oasis is...
The memories of her were faded.
I snapped out of my thoughts realizing that I was near Sloane. The water had hints of blood floating around. A haze of sorts was covering Sloane from my view.
I tossed the sword down next her and held out my hand.
Why?
To her, my hatred...
I should have gotten that gemstone for myself when I had the chance. Nothing stopping me...
Oasis is my biggest issue.
The princess is the second.
I'm not actually sure what I am done to end this way.
"Nothing... She wants you to fool them. Make you gain their trust" a familiar voice in my head. His voice turned into a reminder of the events that happened earlier...
Oasis stood up from her throne of bones and walks over to me. The bishop that I kidnapped earlier was by her side in a chair as one of her night creatures tried feeding him grapes. No response. Her index finger taps my nose as she circles around me "I need you to do something for me... a tiny favor" she conjures stopping in front of me.
'What do you want now' the voice in my head questioned, it belonged to my brother, Amir.
"And what is this insignificant favor?" I asked now trying to move my brother out of the way. Oasis brought her hand up to my face tracing her finger down my cheek with a smile. After a few seconds that smile dropped into a more serious expression.
"To check on my delivery. I hope I shipped her off in good timing" she exclaims as her hand laid on my cheek patting it as a pain coursed through me. Everything became blurry. Her sable eyes stared down at me turning purple.
"I should head back. My other duties are waiting. We'll be in touch soon" she states in a cold tone. Water ran all over me as my view of the curly haired woman walks away from the end of the cliff.
Everything was back to normal. I'm back in this reality.
Sloane was still in front of me. On the ground, hesitation in her body language to my hand. Not sure why I am offering it.
