Chapter 15
When skin to armor contact happened, Melody felt a cool autumn breeze going through her mind. As she began to shiver, she felt a liquid crawl up her soul. The liquid that was crawling up her soul had a funny smell to it, but when she realized the feeling, Melody cringed, 'it burns,' she thought.
Melody let go of Sekhmet's wrists and began to hug herself. She hugged herself tighter as the liquid seeped through. Suddenly, the liquid hit Melody's soul and she let out an ear-piercing scream. The liquid was burning her soul, as if it were setting it on fire. Melody hugged herself tighter; her body was threatening to release the contents in her stomach because of the pain. It burned so badly, why did it have to hurt so much?
Sekhmet felt like he had lost all immunity to his poisons and toxins. Every part of his body felt like it was on fire. The venom was burning him, a burn that felt like a purification fire. Sekhmet shuddered as he heard Melody' s strangled scream, 'why should that bother me?' He thought, 'I've heard and done worse things.'
Suddenly, Sekhmet and Melody felt like they had been submerged into a pool of venom. Melody let out another strangled, ear-piercing scream and Sekhmet instinctively tried to comfort her, 'she's my partner,' Sekhmet realized, 'I have to get her to Master Talpa's castle.'
When Sekhmet came to, he saw Melody swoon. When she passed out from the pain and shock, Sekhmet caught her in his arms. As he looked at Melody, a question rose up within Sekhmet, how would she react when he took his helmet off? He knew that because of the way he looked, people were afraid of him. But as a Warlord, it never bothered Sekhmet, until now. He could ask Dais to make him a disguise potion, but for some odd reason, Sekhmet didn't want to start his partnership with Melody based on a lie. His thoughts were quickly cut off when he heard a female voice say, "Put her down."
Sekhmet quickly turned to see Melissa, Jazalyn, and Sarah standing together. "I said put her down," Sarah threatened.
Sekhmet laughed, "And what are you going to do about it?"
"Why you little…" Sarah began, until Melissa cut her off.
Sekhmet eyed Jazalyn, the girl had proven herself to be a potential threat, but he felt something strange. Sekhmet felt Jazalyn's power, but he could also feel her partner's power, 'Anubis is Jazalyn's partner!' Sekhmet realized, 'that's why he said something came up. He was trying to protect Jazalyn from being used as a pawn. Well, it doesn't matter; I won't let anyone use Melody as a weapon against me, I'll bring Jazalyn and Melody with me into the Dynasty and win Master Talpa's praise.'
Sekhmet smiled, "do you really think you can stand up to me?"
"Put her down," Sarah threatened again.
Sekhmet smiled as he gently placed Melody on the ground, "I'll be back for my partner and Jazalyn," he smirked. "Besides," he continued, "I've already secured the fate of Wildfire."
"What do you mean?" Sarah demanded.
"Room 312, Takayori Center," Sekhmet laughed, before he teleported away.
