leash

this little game of catch me if you can had now started involving the queen and the girls mother.

still with all three trying they were way too slow, and I felt like it could go on like that for a while, but something was off, my body was getting weaker and weaker, something isn't right here.

[you are being drained by the queen]

no wonder I was feeling weaker.

"just how much strength do you possess?!"(queen)

I didn't feel like answering.

the girls mother got her hand the closest, so I grabbed it and shattered all the bones in her hand with one squeeze.

she shrieked and recoiled her hand back.

she wasn't healing as fast as her daughter did.

"enough of this, stop resisting!"(armed guard)

"fuck off useless!"(syn)

everyone just stopped.

"we can't catch him like this!"(older woman)

"ya know I got a question, if you're the queens daughter why do you look old enough to be her mother?"(syn)

oh she absolutely hated that, a face of rage adorning her head and her arms wildly swinging at me.

only through the person I called useless and another guard was the old lady saved from the embarrassment of losing to me.

but it seems that luck wasn't on my side today, the girls hand jabbing into my back the second I let my guard down, a heart of mine already grabbed.

"I've got your heart."(girl)

"I've got nine, pick your next words carefully, I have your arm."(syn)

the queen shuddered at my voice and the color drained from the older woman's face.

at the moment all of us were at standstill, no one moved, maybe that was the problem.

[leash successful, you are now bound]

I twisted hard, the girls arm snapping sickly as she was dragged closer to me, I tore her arm off and threw her away, her wings opening and flapping desperately as the large gathering of winged people hovered there in awe.

but it seems that I didn't win, an intense burning pain assaulting my body, the more I resisted the worse it got, but I made no sound as I fought the pain, a heart of mine bursting.

[HP:205/275]

my posture dropped as my wings nearly faltered, the pain finally going away as the girls arm was back, the new red skin looking sensitive before it turned to normal skin moments later.

"the hell did you do to me?!"(syn)

"I bound us together."(girl)

"I tried to control you, but the pain of trying was almost too much, your will truly is strong."(girl)

"I don't need the compliment."(syn)

I gave a death glare to everyone around me, nothing was stopping me from killing them.

"NO, IF YOU KILL THEM YOULL NEVER LEAVE!"(girl) shouted frantically, does she know my intentions?

the queen and the older woman looked horrified.

"two seconds off and you'd both be dead."(syn)

"he's not lying, I could feel his intentions and the power behind them, we need to talk in private!"(girl)

the women nodded their heads as they began flying away from me, I wasn't moving, I need to break that barrier again.

I flew upwards, close to but not on top of the barrier, I was looking at it for any sings of, well anything.

it seems to not have an origin point but something has to supply it, if I destroy the source I can leave.

girl who leashed syn pov...

"was it wise to leave him?"(mother)

"he's studying the barrier for weaknesses and atrategising escape."(me)

"already?!"(queen)

both women looked at me as they hoped for a response in our favor.

"he's already concluded there's a source for the barrier and is looking to destroy it, if he ever learns that the source is all life here then we will have a very large problem."(me)

"he was right, we should've just let him go, now we have to worry about him annihilating us!"(mother)

"he's killed an entire species before, his memories of the event fond, as if proud, he would surely do it again with incentive."(me)

"in our pursuit of protecting the planetary system we've almost certainly doomed our entire people."(queen)

"we should've listened to him."(mother)

---

absolutely fascinating, the energy from the barrier and the life energy from the winged people seem to be nearly identical, i wonder if they supply it?

is there a way to block their energy or do I just have to kill them?

I'm fine with either but killing am entire planets dominant species isn't going to be easy on my own, I'd spend more time here than I'd ever like to.

I'd been left to my own up here in the sky so far, no one has bothered me yet so maybe I'm not in a rush to leave, I've already proven to myself I can defeat their leaders easily, if those in power lack power then taking over forcefully won't be hard, should I though?

it's not worth it, too many headaches.

it was a bit longer than I was left alone before the girl came back.

"names Hyllia, yours?"(Hyllia)

"oh now we're doing pleasantries?"(syn) I mocked.

she gave me an apologetic look.

"no, you can't kidnap me for the name of your own curiosity then expect me to just move on, you're an asshole and everything I do from here on is your fault entirely."(syn)

she gave a sad nod and got quiet, neither of us moving for a second.

"I truly am sorry."(Hyllia)

"fuck your apology! you're only sorry because I'm stronger than all of you and could kill you if I wanted, you greedy, self-centered dubmasses."(syn)

"I'm trying to be civil!"(Hyllia)

"I was trying to relax in a field!"(syn)

"I didn't ask for this, I didn't ask to be dragged here away from my peaceful evening, I didn't be asked to be dragged from almost everything I've ever known, and I sure as hell didn't ask to stay here, you assholes did those!"(syn)

she got quiet again, I wasn't done talking so I wouldn't go queit.

"I gave you chances to let me leave but you on your high horse didn't let me, its fine to do it to me because you call me evil but what if I did it to you, big problem, fuck off with this double standard bullshit!"(syn)

she opened her mouth as if to speak only to close it and remain silent.
