Chapter 9: Truth Teller
Blue, blue eyes looking in a mirror,
Hold on, darling, it's getting clearer.
Watching the pieces fall into place,
Playing in a web under an angel's face.
There was a moment of awkward silence in which the clawed man sat down across from Lief, his shorter end with the talons for perching barely dangling over the edge of the chair.
"Well….two pairs of eyes are better than one," he said, taking a book, "So are you a prisoner?"
Lief bit his lip, "More or less. I'm more of a slave to a slave—my master is an Ol. But I am human, and not from here. But I have no memory."
"Good, than you are Deltoran."
"I don't know," Lief said again, "I wish I did."
The man shrugged, carefully opening the book in front of him, "I'm Leo by the way."
"Lief," he replied, "Just Lief."
"A pleasure. Now let's see what we can find."
*********************Bullet Thingies!!!!!!!!!!!!!************************
Five hours later, Lief rubbed his temples, letting the table drop to the ground.
"You've improved…..a lot."
Lief looked up, smiling slightly. He was satisfied. He could move things, heal, see spells, and various other things. But he hadn't tried any creating.
That and he still didn't know two things…..
"Leo?" he asked.
The grotesque looked up, "Yes?"
"I have to go, Dain will be waiting. But, could you find something out for me?"
"Of course."
Lief pointed to his bracelet, "See this? It was given to Dain by his Master, the Shadow Lord. Do you think that it would be in a book?"
Leo scrutinized the bracelet, "I'm sure I'll be able to find it. I'm here almost all the time anyway."
Lief nodded, "And I need information on a sweet-tasting glowing green powder. One that you can mix in drinks and such."
"Will do," Leo replied.
"Thanks," Lief said, "You have no idea how much it means to me."
***************************Bullet Thingies!!!!!!!!!**************************
Lief got back to the room after Dain, for once. Dain smiled in greeting, looking up from his hands.
"Missed me?" Lief asked, sitting down next to Dain and leaning into his open arms.
"Of course. I miss you even when you're here."
Lief smiled and tipped his head up for a long, sweet kiss. He smiled into it, feeling the warmth and safety of Dain's arms.
Leaning against the Ol's shoulder, in his lap, Lief yawned, breathing in the familiar, clean scent that smelled like plain air with a slight bit of lemon or orange. A profound emptiness with the tinge of a sour fruit.
Strange how that worked. Is that all that could come of emptiness? Was that all that could ever be created? A sour flavor without feeling; blue, blue eyes staring the mirror, not being able to remember, or forget.
Was there a future at all?
Lief rolled out of bed, changing, as Dain threw back the coverlet, going under the sheets and single light blanket.
As he climbed in, Lief glimpsed a crate under his night stand. A large box filling in the cavity of the stool's legs.
He shrugged, ignoring it and sliding in under Dain's arm.
As he rested his head on the pillow, looking at the wall in the darkness, he asked Dain, "Do you really love me? I mean, is this real? Or just…a bed and affection relationship."
"I thought you already knew, Lief." Dain replied, his body heat leaving the human as he turned onto his back.
Lief felt his heart grow hollow at the small gesture of….rejection, perhaps? But he didn't give up there.
"I just—sometimes people need to hear it, Dain."
Dain turned and wrapped his arms around Lief, "I'm sorry. Sometimes I forget."
Lief stretched his arm out onto the bed so he could see the sapphire eyes of the bracelet.
"Of course I do Lief. You're the one thing that brings light into my life. You make me feel human, complete. It's a balance that is so opposite…I don't know what I do with out you."
"Please, Dain," Lief whispered, closing his blue, blue eyes, "Just say it."
He didn't know why he needed to hear it, but he did.
"I love you, Lief." Dain whispered close to his ear, soft rose petal lip touching dark hair, "More than anything else. I'd face my Master head on for you."
Lief nodded and put his face in the pillow so Dain couldn't see that he was crying.
And on his wrist, the sapphires glowed brighter than ever before.
***************************Bullet Thingies!!!!!!**************************
Lief awoke alone in the bed, absent of Dain's arms. He sat up, scrubbing off the dried tears with his sleeve. Dain had probably just left; there was a hot cup of tea on the tray for Lief.
Standing, Lief looked around the room. His spell had stuck and he still saw the cell. He picked up his tea and was about to take a sip but then…..decided not to.
He looked into the cup and stared at the sorccerous patterns. He could feel the will of the spell, but he couldn't really tell its intentions. Hopefully Leo had found something.
He walked into the library where he found his new friend.
"Lief, I found what you were looking for."
Lief sat down as Leo wiggled into the chair across from him, a book with a tba of paper in hand. The taloned man flipped it open, then turned it Lief's way, pointing.
"Here's your bracelet, read."
Life glanced at the image. It was the bracelet, but undone like how it had been in its case.
"This article of jewelry is a truth teller that has jewels that glow when someone says the truth. But the sorcerer or sorceress chooses the truth. In other words, this bracelet glows to things that the sorcerer wants it to. For example if one is trying to make a woman believe her husband is dead, they would say so, and the bracelet would glow. The clever thing to do is program it with real truths too, not just lying ones. It makes the wearer not expect. The sorcerer programs these truths by forming the lies in their head, and focusing them into the will of the spell.
"Even so, one can reprogram this bracelet to be an actual truth teller, but than they must wear it. When doing so, be careful of thinking to hard and being skeptical. The bracelet will pick it up."
Lief stopped, his voice breaking, his heart sinking.
"So this is what the Shadow Lord has done. Programming this and making you believe it. No doubt everything the Ol tells you that makes the bracelet glow are lies."
"No." Lief whispered tears running from his eyes, "No! It—it can't be true. He said—he told me. I mean……."
Leo put a claw on Lief's shoulder as the young human put his face in his hands, blue, blue eyes looking out through his fingers, clotted with tears.
"I'm so sorry, Lief. Why is this effecting you like this? What did he tell you?"
Lief shook his head, not wanting to voice it. He couldn't hear those words as a lie. He couldn't believe that they were false.
I love you, Lief.
"Is there a possibility that some of it could've been true?" Lief asked through the tears.
"Most likely. The Shadow Lord is clever. But the big things, the ones that mean more to you—"
More than anything….
"Probably aren't."
Lief looked out at the shelves, feeling small and cold.
"No." that was all he could say.
But…..yet there it was in black and white. Yes.
I thought you already knew….
Was there a future at all?
