RR: I did make Lumina like that on purpose. He is caring, if he had no subjects to test on then where would his potions go? And as for the mean, he cares for Eterna…well you'll learn why. And as for Marle she is giving birth to his son. More dark things to come, close your eyes…
Lumina sits on a stone throne in a large chamber. He taps his fingers periodically out of boredom.
"I need to test a few things. But I only have Eterna and that Queen. Perhaps I should go out for a bit. There is no way they can escape. Sure. I'll go check out that old robot manufacturing dome" Lumina gets up and walks out to the front of his Castle/Lab. The doors are so huge even Lavos could possibly get through.
Lumina exits and looks at the world again. He smiles lightly and then walks off. The Proto Dome wasn't far from his castle. Lumina's Keep was hidden in the mountain behind it. The snow like dust doesn't even touch his perfect self. His body barely moves as he walks that the cloaks always cover him completely, giving the illusion that he has no body. His face as he walks looks less of a conquester and more of a concerned person. Lumina has a dark past, one he'd rather not share. But it kills him so much to keep it to himself.
He finally makes it to the Dome and looks inside. A few robots mice and little else. A mouse sneaks up behind him and manages to steal a potion. Lumina watches as the rat runs. He just stares at the rat and soon the potion explodes with force. Rat piece everywhere.
"no one touches my potions" he says to himself, being that everything once alive is now a stain. Lumina walks through the dome, avoiding battle and placing puzzles. Soon he finds what he was looking for.
"the R66-Y model. Humanoid robotics. Problem, interaction engine evolution. Feelings, thought, soul, memories. This thing is practically human. But trash to me" Lumina kicks it on it's side. "I thought you were cyborg the way you were talked about. Looks like I was wrong. But maybe I can use potions to direct on robots. It will be a challenge but I will not be beat"
Back at the Lab…
Eterna pinned to the wall sheds tears of pain, she is recalling the moment the two met. Lumina was child like back then, still as focused on potions as ever. Back then though she did fell attracted to him. He was cute, had energy, and his hair wasn't clean cut like the rest of the race. He was different, and being a royal guard she still had some problems with how her life was run. She had to have a noble or higher. Lumina was a peasant but had a good life, he sold his potions to the local shop, he made little money for they had an effect on something's but not many, as a kid the best one he made was the Lasting Concoction he called it. It made any food have regenerative value. You take a bite out of an apple and a few minutes later you have a full one again. When people found out about it he had a good life. He soon became dependant on his work. His emotion left him, and all he had time for was potions. Eterna just looked on, a small smile came to her face. Two years went by and she had to be married. Lumina and gotten far in his life he was higher then a noble he worked for royalty, but when she choose him he said no. he had no time to settle down. Eterna got angry and fled the town, the day after came a war. The Verial invasion and no one was left to be found. Only Lumina and Eterna are the survivors. No one knew how Lumina made it out though. The king and queen saw him killed before their very eyes.
Eterna looks up from he spot, there a shadow on the wall, someone is there. Eterna wipes the tears from her eyes.
"who is there?"
"oh, you speak" a voice dark as night says. The shadow approaches but no light to give it a face. "it seems Lumina has found new toys"
"are you working with him!" Eterna again trying to be threatening.
"no, I only gave him the lab. He did this on his own, but he has not come up with what I asked so I am planning on giving him something to remind him"
"what are you gonna do"
"well I was gonna kill you but then what kind of person would that make me. I will release one of you, will it be you or the princess"
"what do you mean? Take her"
"oh, but the child she is carrying that will need help to be born. Are you sure your not the right choice"
"stop it, stop reminding me!"
"it hurts doesn't it. Knowing your friend is either going to die or live with pain. This is why I am the master of darkness. They call me" he leaves a dramatic pause.
"Magus"
"Magus, you son of a bitch. What thing do you need from this man"
"I already have it, immortality. Now all I need is a potent magic potion, one to make my magic even stronger. Every year I come here at this time to pick it up, but he is late today. Perhaps I should set his work back a few years"
just then the loud slam of the doors closing echoes through the lab.
"ah, here he is. I'll tell him you said hi"
"arrgh, spit on him for me, I'd be happier with that"
"oh, I like you, such spunk" Magus walks of laughing.
"arrgh, I'm powerless. What ever happened to Lumina, his potions are more valued to him then his own life. I wish I could have the old one back"
In the main lab…
Lumina sets up the robot in some strange machine and power it up. The mechanisms hum and the electricity sparks. He pulls a lever and the Robot powers back up. The robot looks around the room.
"zzzt…where is….zzzt…R66-Y model…zzzt…" his systems still powering up.
"you are in my lab, you one lucky robot" just then a large fire ball comes in and breaks the robot into pieces.
"LUMINA!" Magus' voice booms.
"oh no" Lumina whimpers.
"where have you been!" Magus leans over him to make Lumina fell smaller.
"I was getting the robot I wanted to run some tests to see if he could serve you"
"did I ask you to do that" he says readjusting his glove.
"no, but then again sir. You have gotten those potions every years without asking. I only assumed you wanted annual treatments"
"your right, and you assumed correctly, and what would I need a robot for?"
"well, I was planning to put it in your image, you know how low levels enter your castle and your on an off day, the robot has power enough he could fight for you and you can catch a few more winks"
"well then" Magus thinks, even though he'd never pass up more sleep "I guess you should start picking up the pieces and get to work then"
