Emotions Vs Power

ch 19

"Here's the Dream Walker, just like you ordered master." Tento said as he presented Kaye to him.

"Well done, Tento. Now secure her, and then prepare yourself, because soon we'll have company." Maguyser replied as he watched Tento secure Kaye tightly, and then pitched the room into totally darkness as they waited for them to show.

As they continued to search, their adrenaline started to pump more and more into their bodies, making them run faster with each step that they took. Just then, a sudden gust of wind knocked out all of the torches. "Wonderful, now what?" Kento asked in a very annoyed tone. Evil laughing echoed through out the hall, bouncing off the walls so they won't be able to pin point where the source of it was coming from.

"You just had to ask, didn't you Kento?" Sage asked, as he felt Kento glare at him. But just before Kento could reply, Maguyser's form hovered in the air above them.

"What's the matter? Can't seem to find your way in the dark? Here, let me help you." Maguyser said as a couple of fire balls appeared out of nowhere, and flew straight at them.

"Watch out!" Reann warned as they dodged out of the way. Just as they thought that the fire balls were going to hit the ground, they did a sharp turn and hovered in front of them again.

"How?" Rowen started to ask in bewilderment.

Maguyser tossed his head back and laughed, "you thought that these were just mere fireballs, you're seriously mistaken. These are no ordinary fireballs, actually they're demons, fire demons."

'Fire demons! If he's called upon them already then...then...' Katie thought as she quickly looked up towards Maguyser in alarm.

Maguyser smirked as he saw Katie's reaction. "Yes, I see that you have realized what's happening here. Good, then you understand what I have in mind for your friend the Dream Walker."

Hearing reference to Kaye, Kento quickly looked up angrily towards Maguyser. "Where is she? Tell me!" Kento demanded angrily.

"You're in no position to tell me what to do, Hardrock. But to put your mind at ease, maybe I'll tell you, or better yet, I'll show you." Maguyser replied as a dark image appeared showing that Kaye was secured tightly to something, but it was so hard to see because of how dark it was. The only light were the torches that were spread out a crossed the room. Kento growled in anger as he glanced over towards him, and then he looked back over towards Kaye, and his expression softened. "You know what, I think that the Dream Walker had more than enough of the dream of tortures. Maybe I should wake her up now. Actually, I think that I will." Maguyser grinned evilly as he turned and faced the image. "Dream Walker, it's time to wake up." With a snap of his fingers, Kaye started to slowly open her eyes.

"What's going on? Where am I?" Kaye asked in quiet confusion. And then she looked down when she heard something from underneath. She opened her eyes wider and fear flickered in her eyes from what she saw. Kaye screamed and then started to struggle, and then the image disappeared.

"Kaye...Kaye!" Kento called out to her, and then he looked over towards Maguyser and growled angrily again, as he took out his three sectioned staff and pointed it towards him. "Iron...rock..."

"Complete that attack Hardrock, and I'll make sure that whatever your Dream Walker saw will finish her for good." Maguyser warned with a glint of evil in his eyes. Kento stopped his attack, lowered his weapon, and then his head in defeat. "Humph, it just shows how weak the human heart can be when you put a loved one's life on the line. They'll crumble and fall like an old condemned building ready for demolition."

"Maguyser, how could you be...?" Ryo asked angrily.

"So heartless? It's quite simple, Wildfire, for one to be heartless, the person doesn't have a heart to begin with. So in other words, I've never had a heart, I find having a heart makes you weak, and being weak is something that I won't allow. So instead of bantering back and forth, I would suggest that you hurry, or otherwise your friend will die." Maguyser replied as he vanished.

"Damn!" Kento swore angrily, as he was trying to control his emotions.

"What the?" Cye asked in confusion as he was looking up towards the fire demons that were still there.

"Cye?" Rowen asked as he glanced over towards him, and then he followed his gaze to what he was seeing. "What in the world are they still doing here?"

"You're the genius Rowen, why don't you tell us?" Reann asked as she glanced over towards him.

"It looks like they're going to instead of attack us like before…they're going to lead us to Kaye." Rowen replied with a slight frown.

"That'll explain why they haven't attacked us yet." Sage said with a confirming nod.

"So then, why are we still here!?" Kento asked eagerly.

'I definitely don't like this. Maguyser summoned those fire demons for another reason besides playing guide.' Katie thought with a frown.

'I know Katie, but at the moment we don't exactly have a choice.' Reann replied as she glanced over towards her.

'Still want to do this?' Katie asked curiously.

'What? And miss out on a real fight, give me a break.' Reann replied with a playful smirk.

'I thought that you would say something like that.' Katie said as she rolled her eyes.

"Hey, are you two coming or what?" Cye asked as he noticed that they were staying back.

"We're coming Cye." Katie replied as she and Reann caught up with them.

The creature that was shooting up to what Kaye could tell in the pitch darkness, to be their hands or tentacles or something else entirely. But whatever it was she definitely didn't want to see it's true form. When the creature started to pull itself upon her, Kaye could feel it's wants, needs, desires, and it made her feel sick to her stomach. She closed her eyes tightly and turned her head away as the creature leaned closer into her. It could feel her emotions, and they made the creature want her even more. Then the creature closed it's eyes and called forth more of it's kind. More and more climbed out of from underneath her, and then started to feel every aspect of her body. "Nectar, sweet delicious nectar." the demons hissed, as they continued.

Kaye was beyond scared at this point and time. This was worse than Maguyser's torture of dreams. "Please, stop…No more!" Kaye pleaded as she tried to keep back a sob.

"More…More sweet nectar…More!" the creatures replied as they were even more aroused by her pleading.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The fire demons got closer to where they would find the ones that they were looking for. Katie and Reann knew this because the fire demons' flame was starting to fade. "Hey, what's going on with them?" Ryo asked slightly confused.

"When their flames start to go out, that means they are close to where they originated from. So that means we're very close, they should be right behind this...Door." Kaite replied, but then when she opened it, their eyes were trying to adjust to the darkness. The only light that could be seen were from the very few tourches, and a pit that was in the center of the room.

"What's that sound?" Rowen asked as he was straining to hear.

"What sound?" Sage asked back with a frown, and then he heard it.

"Nectar...More sweet nectar...More!" the demons chanted louder this time as they laughed evilly.
