Man oh man...i've really gotten behind. I promise I'll finish this story! We're actually getting close to the end anyway.
Yuna's head was still groggy when she tried to wake up. A strange feeling was taking her, a strange feeling that she had before. She remembered the previous events of her long awaited wedding and remembered where she was, and unfortunately, who she was in the company of.
"Ah, so you're finally awake, my dearest." She head that smooth, oily voice and shuddered. Yuna had never wanted to hear that voice again, especially not on another wedding day. "What do you want with me?" she barked, as best she could through her groggy head.
"What does it matter? I have you." was his reply. If her hands hadn't been bound, she probably would have beat him to a pulp. She had gotten stronger since they last met, and she wanted to show this to him...first hand. However, she was bound to the wall...a wall she recognized with horror. This was the chamber in which they had taken apart Vegnagun, the very center of the farplane. Around her neck, the white crystal sphere glowed. "If you insist...you have something that I want." The blue haired half-guado slid his long fingers around her neck. Her skin crawled as his hand went from her neck to the space where the white sphere hung. "Ah, there it is." Seymour's other hand slid behind her and through her brown hair. Yuna struggled as much as her restraints would allow, but they were tight and stretched out, allowing only for the movement of her head. With his hand behind her head, though, she could not even move that.
"Let go of me" She gasped.
"Not likely..." Was his reply.
He took his other hand off the sphere and let it slide back up past her neck to hold her head secure. She wished for nothing else than the ability to run as fast as possible. "I hate you." She wispered.
"I know" He brushed his finger over her lips. "That will make this all the more satisfying." With that he pressed his own lips hard against hers. Yuna tried struggling again, with all that she was. Her world swirled in a bad way and she wanted to throw up, but he still did not release her from the lock of his lips. This was it again, this awful feeling. The same awful moment, and it had not differed from the last time. It only became worse after the intrusion of his tongue.
Finally, after a long while he released her. She felt violated all over, and spat onto the ground although she was aiming for him. All Seymour did was laugh and look at the glowing white sphere in his blue-veined hands. "Vierda." He called for her while Yuna gasped in disbelief. Vierda...was working for him? She felt utterly betrayed.
Vierda's green figure passed into vision with an exited look in her eyes. "My lord Seymour, have I done well?" She asked, hopefully. This time, however, her eyes met a stone wall in his.
"Vierda, I intend to release you of my services." Her vision blurred, but with tears. "My lord, have I done something wrong? Something to...displease you?"
"Not at all, my dear Vierda." He looked at her in sly reassurance. "But I will ask only one more thing of you." Now would be the time that he would exploit her innocence. Her ignorance. To dissolve the barrier between the worlds of the living and realm of the dead required not only the crystal. It required the blood of a living maiden, and a guado maiden was close enough. Seymour reached over to his green haired servant and placed the glowing crystal inside her cupped palms. "Now, awaken the crystal, my love."
Vierda held up her cupped hands with the sphere inside, and began to sing in an ancient language. Not even Yuna had ever heard its words before, but the sphere responded. It glowed brighter and brighter until it shone like a captured star, illuminating the entire farplane with it's radience.
"Awaken, star of the living fayth." Vierda said to the shining sphere before falling, weak, to the ground. She gasped for breath and watched the beautiful light as it held it's place in the air. "Lord Seymour!" She called out with all of her remaining strength.
"Many thanks, Vierda." He said, standing over her. "Your service to me is complete." He trust a hidden dagger into her heart. "Now you will die." Vierda gasped in pain and betrayal. Her heart broke and shattered. She had been betrayed by the one she had loved and followed without fail or falter.
Tears leaked down Yuna's face. She saw tears flow from Vierda's eyes as well, accompaning the look of betrayal.
As the guado maiden's eyes fell to death, so did the divider between the realms dissolve.
