A/N: there was a bit of a mix up when uploading the Chapters, but they’re fixed now, albeit with a few additions...
********
I patted my pants, getting the the dust off, didn’t bother with my top since well, I was still shirtless...
"You’re becoming quite the exhibitionist, aren’t you?" Leo snickered, perched comfortably atop my head.
"Not my fault, I currently live with soone that hates wearing clothes, so it’s inevitable that so bad habits rub off on ." I imdiately threw Khalifa under the bus, not like she’ll ever know, right?
Right??...
"Anyway.... Who’s the unfortunate soul this ti around." I muttered, finally raising my head to get a proper look at my assailant, well, I should’ve said assailants, since my eyes landed on three people.
They were three n, all three looking to be in their early to late 30s, but age in this world could be quite subjective, that too when all three n were releasing auras potent enough to twist the atmosphere around them..
Two of the three n, I recognized instantly, but I had more pressing issues to address because,
"I’m really starting to hate having to deal with shit like this every ti.." I couldn’t help grumbling when I saw what their presence was doing, so, "Stop." The atmosphere surrounding them ceased its movent, absolute stillness falling upon them..
"Ho? That’s quite impressive for a puny C-rank child." One of the n, the only one I didn’t recognize, the one with dark blue hair, spoke up.
"I have told you not to underestimate this little rodent, he’s not what it seems." The leading figure, chastised indifferently..
"Heh! Oh co now, brother Helios, he’s trapped, and with both of us here, do you believe he has any chances of escape?" The blue haired man laughed, addressing his partner, Helios.
Yes. That Helios.
The one from the eastern domain, the emperor of the Calder imperial family, and right behind the two,
"Heh! The supre emperor of the eastern domain, a blue haired bouncer, and the bright sun city lord himself, to what do I owe the pleasure?" I sneered..
"You little rat! What did you just call ?" The blue haired man flared.
"Look, side characters should just stay side characters, I don’t even think anyone rembers you, so just pipe down a bit? Let the important extras talk, I don’t have ti to waste here."
"Why you little...."
"I see your mouth is still as vile as ever, little rat." Emperor Helios spoke up, promptly interrupting the naless side character.
"Forgive your highness, but this one hasn’t been trained much in the ways of addressing royalty." I grinned..
"Now, to what do I owe the pleasure?" I asked once more, eager to get this over with.
"YOU KILLED MY SON!!!!!!" A furious yell broke the atmosphere as carrion exploded..
"I’ve killed a lot of people recently, as unfortunate as that might be, since I fancy myself to be quite the pacifist."
"Pft.... Oh please, if you’re a pacifist, then no one can be called violent anymore."
"I pass my fist through annoying people and situations, so yes, a Pacifist, now pipe down." I shut the chicken-cat down, before continuing, "so, you have to be more clear, city lord carrion, which son are you talking about?" I asked, a confused expression appearing on my face..
Yes. I was trolling the man.
Of course I rember Micheal, he was my first victim after all, but seeing the way carrion’s face twisted in pure rage? Absolutely worth it..
"YOU BASTARD!!!! I’ll kill you!!!" Carrion roared, about to move, when,
"Wait." Helios’ voice stopped him.
"We were instructed to bring him back alive." The man added..
"ALIVE!!? ALIVE??? THAT ANIMAL KILLED MY SON!!" Carrion wasn’t having it..
"I’ll have to agree with him big brother, that bastard murdered Thaddeus in cold blood, I can’t let him continue drawing breath." The irrelevant blue haired man had to add his own unneeded opinion..
"I understand, but we can’t afford to offend those people." Helios sighed..
"Maybe you can’t, big brother, but I can, I will not let this roach live, even if I have to fight you myself!" The blue haired dude seed really intent on killing ..
I just watched the drama unfold, intrigued, as the three that were here to take out, suddenly turned on each other instead..
"Alright... that’s enough, I’m tired,and I need rest, so let’s get this shot over with." Leo’s voice echoed through the surrounding space, successfully breaking the three n from their stare down...
"And who might you..."
"DESPAIR.."
The mont Leo’s words rang out, the entire place went dead silent, the skies turned a dreary grey hue, as the sounds of wailing and mourning began echoing through the place....
"This..." Helios’ face paled imdiately...
"Big brother... what’s... what’s happening..." the blue haired man had began trembling...
Carrion was already on his knees, eyes, nose, ears, all bleeding...
A dreadful chill shot through my spine as a quiet chant suddenly filled the air, I looked up, and there was Leo, his body floating peacefully, a lifeless grey halo spinning softly above him.
His entire outlook had changed from the golden, light wielding chicken-cat I knew, this, was soone else entirely...
"In sorrow, there is peace.
In pain, there is comfort.
In exhaustion, there is rest.
In despair..."
His voice echoed from everywhere and nowhere at the sa ti, and once the final words dropped,
"You shall find eternal peace."
{ETERNAL SLUMBER..}
The winds, the sounds, everything stilled for a mont..
I turned around, eyes widening as I saw the aftermath of his move.
There, standing still, eyes devoid of all life, were three n that had been having a stare down earlier..
Their bodies were crumbling, turning into grey motes of light that dissipated silently into the still air.
A silence so absolute it was suffocating, fell upon the area as I turned robotically towards Leo’s still floating form...
"Well, that takes care of that problem.. I guess it’s ti we go ho, no?"..
...
The flight back ho was silent, until,
"You’re not going to ask what happened back there?" Leo’s voice broke the silence.
He tried sounding casual, but I could hear a hint of nervousness in his voice, I couldn’t be sure, but I didn’t care nonetheless.
"Heh! Like how you’ve been asking about all the ridiculous abilities I’ve been using all this while right?" I chuckled.
"Heh! Yea.." I could hear his tone relaxing...
"I just need to know one thing."
"What’s that."
"That person back there, was it truly you?"
A beat of silence passed, before,
"It was."
"Then I guess that’s all I need to know, after all, I already told you didn’t I? You can be the son of the heavenly emperor and I still wouldn’t care, so what’s the harm if you’re involved in a little voodoo activity." I shrugged.
"It’s not voodoo."
"No, no, you don’t have to be ashad, I’m sure there’re other chicken-cats that dabble in a little voodoo arts here and there."
"It’s not voodoo."
"Oh co on, the chanting? The dreary atmosphere? The levitating like an evil spirit? Pure voodoo business I tell you.."
"Motherfucker! It’s not fucking voodoo!"
"So, where’d you put the dolls?" I asked, curious.
"What dolls?"
"The ones you used to make those fuckers crumble like dirt, they’re voodoo essentials aren’t they?"
"DAMN IT DANTE! I said I don’t do voodoo, that was sothing else."
"Hahhh... wait, don’t tell , you have a doll of too?"
"Dante."
"Man, I didn’t know you swing like that, can’t say I bla you, I an it’s after all."
"Dante.."
"I just hope you haven’t done unspeakable things to that doll yet, and I think I’ll need to start keeping my distance from you, to avoid any unforeseen situations."
"DANTEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!"
......
Bang!
The door blasted wide open as I stepped back into my academy manor, calling out gleefully,
"Honey, I’m ho... what the fuck are you guys doing?"
.....
"So anyone mind telling what is going on here?" I couldn’t help asking once more as I looked at the scene before ..
"We’re doing ditative exercises, what does it look like? Did you hit your brain too hard during your mission?" Trust Khalifa to be the first to strike.
"Hooo... okay, you clothes hating freak!"
"Hey!!"
"Why is it that you guys are always doing ditation exercises when I co ho? If I didn’t know any better, I’d have said this thing was planned." I complained, staring deadpan at the figure of Kaila that was currently set in a position that honestly made it too difficult to hold eye contact, that is if I wanted to keep my dignity in check..
"Fufufu... why are you looking at like that?" Kaila laughed.
"Because I can sohow tell that all this is your idea.."
"A.. you wound with your accusations, Dante." She stretched, those criminally tight yoga pants hugging her cal toe all the more, "besides, stop acting like you hate what you’re seeing.." she snickered.
Well, I wasn’t going to lie, coming ho to the sight of four ravishing beauties in nothing but tight pants and sports bras that weren’t doing their jobs properly? I couldn’t have asked for a better ho coming.
"Man, it’s good to be ho."
