Prologue


I moved closer, whispering promises. All lies that I would never fulfill. He leaned in, intrigued by the words. "You could live forever, seeking vengeance on those who did you wrong, those who manipulated your heart for their own desires." I said. "Just say 'yes' already you insufferable human!"

"How do I know you won't just kill me?" He asked. I swirled around him, rolling my eyes and grabbing his shoulders. "Don't be dense you imbecile! "

"Because, my anathema, our lives will be intertwined; you die and I will perish as well. I wouldn't dare kill you. After all, I've worked so hard to get what I want. Just say yes and I will take care of everything. Both of our wishes will be granted." I knew my seductive tone was working. I could see it in his eyes. I had to convince him. I would have what I wanted and he would either give it to me or I would find an anathema who would but, I'd never get another chance like this. An anathema so desperate and foolish. "So, what will it be? Will you say no, and continue as everyone's walking mat," I moved to face him. "Or will you say yes, and have the world at your fingertips?" Burning greed rolled through me, tumbling in its excitement. I'm so close! So close to everything I've longed for, what we've all wanted! It's mine! All mine! I held out my hand in invitation.

Saligia was quiet. A rare thing with constant war; but it was perfect for this. This wouldn't go well if he was constantly distracted by the screams of the dying. As an Osen No the sounds were completely normal for me but he, as a mere human, would probably be frightened by the mercilessness of it all.

"The world at my fingertips..." He mumbled, captivated by all the possibilities that were spread out before him. My eyes widened in anticipation as he reached for my hand. Yes! Yes! Clasping my hand tightly he said, "We have a deal." Yes! I smirked evilly as a blinding white light flashed. Then, a burning heat encircled my neck, and everything went black.


A/N: Well... I put a poll up for what story you guys wanted me to write for an apology... and no one voted... but someone (Thanks Iris!) did ask about OTT so I decided to post the Prologue for it! Remember to review! I'm not Koko. I can't read your mind. The only way I'll know what you think of it is if you review! SO DO IT! Thank you ^w^!
