Interlude (Fall)
"I finally understand, to walk alone in the dark makes absolutely no sense, I need a guide through it to see the true abyss of destruction, now allow me to serve you appropriately with my power, Master"
-Cinder Fall
They arrived in front of the entrance of the cave that was probably their base, the only thing Cinder could feel was pain, a never ending pain, 'that silver eyed... what has she done to me?!'.
-Only a little further sister, only a little further and you will feel better.-
Vextrice whispered to her.
...
The cave was dark, even darker than the first time she entered there, or maybe that was an illusion caused by the strain to remain conscious.
-Master... master...-
Vextrice spoke but nothing came back to answer her; steps could be heard in the silence, but they did not belong to the Overlord, for an armored figure came out from behind a corner.
-Who are you intruder?-
She asked, hackles up, the knight lowered their head to the two of them, a distorted female voice came out from her helmet.
-Lady Vextrice, Lady Fall the Supreme One shall attend to her injuries, please follow me.-
-I will ask once more, who are you?-
Her tone was cold like ice, the knight lowered her head once more.
-Lady Vextrice I am merely a servant of the Black Reaper, please don't keep him waiting any more than is necessary.-
This time Vextrice didn't respond and only followed her.
...
-You are back Vextrice, and you brought a present for me, how cute.-
The dark voice of the Overlord echoed in the cave.
Cinder trembled, being powerless in front of this monster was the most terrifying thing she had ever felt.
-I'm here to beseech you Father, please save the life of my Sister.-
Vextrice spoke placing Cinder at the ground in front of the Grimm King, he lowered his head looking directly in Cinder's remaining eye, something happened when amber met crimson she saw something behind those red lights, something that she was familiar with, something that she saw many times when she looked at herself in the mirror; pain, the pain that no one can understand, the pain of someone that had used all his strength to reach his goal and now understood that it was impossible to achieve.
-Do you want to see true darkness Cinder? Do you want to achieve true power? I can see your soul, a soul tormented by revenge, but revenge against what? Your mother? Your traitorous friends?... No I can see clearly now, revenge against the humanity that condemned you! Do you want to accept the help of a monster to reach your goals? You've already done it before, why not now?-
With the last of her energy she nodded in response, she wanted to survive no matter the costs.
-Well then let's heal you a bit before we speak; Vextrice, Nemesis take off her clothes!-
He took some steps away from her to allow his subordinates to do their jobs. As ordered Vextrice and the knight called Nemesis removed her clothes leaving her naked body on the ground; it was cold and she trembled a bit but she stopped when a hand touched her, it was warm, warmer than a normal hand should have been; the first time he touched the stump of her arm, the second time her left eye and the last time her chest.
The pain was now gone but she couldn't move her arm or see from her eye yet.
-You are really damaged Fall Maiden, I've done everything I could for you at the moment, to heal you completely I need to use more of my aura and time but for now it will do... oh you can speak again now so congratulations.-
It was as he said, she tried to speak and this time something came out, it wasn't her usual loud voice but it was something.
-Do not fear, it will return as before but you will need time, your body is in a state of shock for now.-
He spoke again to her.
-W-why?-
She asked in a whisper.
-It's because I need you Fall Maiden, I now understand that this world can't be saved anymore.-
At those words Vextrice turned toward him.
-I have decided to start the 'process of re-creation'.-
Cinder saw the eyes of Vextrice go wide.
-Father, no! It is dangerous, really dangerous, you might not survive this!-
She spoke with a worried tone.
-It doesn't matter anymore; my life's goal has become permanently impossible, I have replaced the love in my heart with hate, I'm ready to become the new Old One, and this time I will create the perfect world!-
'If I can't reach happiness no one else will have it!' he mentally add.
-E-even if you h-had saved me I-I can't b-betray mistress S-Salem.-
Cinder spoke, the cold eyes of the Overlord once more descended upon her.
-Do you truly wish to continue to serve an error like her, she knew the power of the silver eyed one but she didn't tell you, she knew that you were dying but what did she do? Nothing; for her you are nothing more than a pawn that can be replaced at any moment if necessary, maybe she has already planned to kill you and give that power to someone more useful...-
'No those are lies, lies! Are these the whispers of a devil? But...' Cinder in a panic tried to think of something to say.
-Tell me, has she told you what the Grimm really are?-
She stopped and looked at him with a questioning look upon her face.
-No, obviously she didn't... that Thief is incredibly enigmatic sometimes; let me reveal unto you the truth Fall Maiden, the truth that will change everything about this world, the Grimm, Salem, the Maidens... and me...-
A.N. That's all for now (I know it's short but now I'm really busy and also it is only a interlude), who is this mysterious entity that bears the name of Nemesi? What is the new plan of the Overlord? Any ideas? Write a review!
