Chapter 14...
Nagi was standing on Ken-Ohki's bridge, staring into the darkness as they headed..????... Her last clue had taken her no where and now she had nothing to share with Ryoko... She hated the idea of being so helpless...
Suddenly she sensed something was wrong...
It was quiet, too quiet...
Silence...
The vibration of Ken-Okhi's engines wasn't there, what'd happen?...
Ken-Okhi?... Ken-Okhi?...
Nothing...
Suddenly there was vibration, but it was a different vibration and a chill in the air...
"Welcome!... "
Nagi turned to find her self standing on a different command deck... A large command chair over looked the open deck... Seated in it was a dark figure who seem to be wearing a large cloak... A hood hid their 'face' and Nagi felt a chill go up her spine... She reached for a weapon, but found none... For the first time, in a long time, she knew fear...
"Wha... what do you want!... "
"Been a while... "
"A WHILE?... "
"Death is always with us... ", a soft voice whispered in her ear...
Nagi turned but there was no one there... Turning back, there now was a tall dark female figure standing by the command chair... Her face was hidden also...
"...A trade... "
" TRADE?... "
"Arrr!... End ye quest... "
" ...and ?... "
"And this... "
The seated figure gestured to the side and a light shone on 3 large open chests filled with riches... Nagi's trained eye told her here was more wealth than some planets had... She had to close her mouth... Here was more than she could spend in 100 lifetimes... But...
" ...no... "
It came out so quickly... And easily...
There was a soft chuckle and the chests disappeared...
"Fair Winds!... Nagi... "
"WAIT!!!... A question? "...
Nothing happened, as if waiting...
"Are you... Diablo?... "
The female figure rested her hand on the others shoulder before turning to Nagi...There was another soft chuckle...
Nagi found herself making eye contact with the female... Eyes that glowed... Eyes that seem to look right through her...
"Nagi, don't you know more female devils than males?... "
Nagi shivered, but couldn't move as the female approached...
"And in the light of the full moon, the 'devil' only dances with... "
Nagi felt something placed in her hand and her eyes widen...
She was back on Ken-Ohki...
"Death... ", she whispered...
