"Why would you do that!?"
"I did that after you almost killed me with your wind and took everyone inside including the soldiers so I had no choice but to suck everyone up. Don't worry, when we get back we will know what to do"
"And what if they are dead before we head back, that place is already not a safe place to keep them" he paced away, thus Selene followed after him "then where is a safe place to keep people I suck up ash?!. Forgotten I only suck up my enemies and not my friends? Where the hell do you expect me to keep them? My bedroom?" She sighed in anger, her voice strained before she began muttering words under her breath making ash turn to her, his brows arched "what are you doing?"
"What I should have been doing a long time ago" she continued and a bright light emerged from where she stood still muttering, her face contorted in pain and anguish but she continued. Ash staggered to her, his legs giving away and he drew his hand in a low voice "don't…stop Selene…what are you doing? You are ruining yourself. Damn it" he hissed as the light made a certain portal road where someone could jump in.
He saw how she had turned chalk like pale, blood streaming down her nose and she spit out blood before turning to him "you can come if you want" with which she jumped in dragging zayn with her.
He shook his head cussing. What has she done to herself? Did she tap into dark magic to open a portal? He stepped in after her.
Selene blinked her eyes open to a familiar bed and room but how she found herself in it was vague. She groaned, lifting herself up from the bed but a woman ran to her side, which pushed away "you have to stay in bed Selene" she reprimanded her, her voice pleading.
Selene sighed in pain as she tried to walk to the door and stumbled and the woman came to her aid "the healer said you should stay in bed, that you are drained for a reason he didn't divulge" the woman sighed and Selene breathed out.
She will have to thank healer kael for this, she didn't know what would happen if anyone were to find out what she was doing or what was wrong with her. She bowed her head in defeat and retreated to the ground when her eyes blinked open in realization and she asked "where is the guy i came with?"
Zayn's eyes shone in the dark hallway of the prison grounds. He has been awake for minutes now and knew he was in a lot. How he found himself here or what this place is was a question he couldn't answer himself. The last thing he could remember was pushing that annoying controlling guy he felt so drained than he has ever been before. He couldn't even describe it plus the force like heaviness on his right hand he could define. The place was driving him crazy.
From the moment he stepped inside here, his body hadn't had a proper rest and adequate food. At the thought of food his belly rumbled like it knew what he was thinking. He pushed knees up so he could rest his head but the sound of heavy footsteps stumped closer to where he was.
What now?
He dropped his head not so fast and waited and waited but nothing. He peered sideways through the darkness and saw a boot, obviously a leg was inside, his eyes travelled from the leg slowly and anxiously to the waist, chest—a man and then his face. Uhh he muttered something under his breath and dropped it back to his knees not caring to look up again.
"Selene, is not here to save you. If I were you I would start spilling your aim for coming to us"
Zayn glared up at ash and saw his dark hair peeking down his face through the lamp he led up to his face like and he saw that his face was contorted in a way he couldn't describe. Determination. Darkness. And a shadow was…
"Speak unless you want to be executed" Ash cut him off before he could see the last thing. His face coming back to his neutral incandescent face. "I'm innocent and there's nothing I want from you. I just want to go back to my city!!"
"And what's your city? Solvamore as you said. Whatever you are, there is no place like Solvamore that is not on our map and we have not heard of such a place unless you are not telling the truth" his eyes bore into him with umbrage.
Zayn stood up and Ash took an unnoticed step back, the lamp clanking in the silent hallway. He couldn't forget the force of the push he was given before, he was the strongest warlord in Drakomoth and yet he got pushed like never before. His stepping back was to attain his pride in any further violence.
He had begged the emperor for this, the councils were against him taking in a potential mole sent to them they could use in this war but he knew that was more than that. As much as he wanted to believe him through his eyes, they've been fooled that way so many times so he backed away more.
"We will talk later" he said and zayn shouted in anger "I AM NOT A DAMN SPY"
Ash shivered due to the voice, he turned back and zayn was still shouting his voice shaking and cracking like he was talking after some time before leaving the prison grounds he heard a last shout where the doors of all the empty prisons where people and people were not in shook so greatly like he had never seen.
He was not a spy. That was one but what is he?
