Diana
A shudder runs through the air, a ripple in reality itself. I feel cold iron wrap around my chest, a line of burning silver tracing from my heart down into the floor. Then it coils higher, climbing my spine, tightening like a vice.
My breath catches. I try to pull back—
"Syrikhal!" I choke, the ancient word of binding tearing past my lips before I can stop it.
In an instant, two wills slam together. A flash of crimson light leaps from my throat all the way to Umbryss's horizon, where Kaerith pauses mid-torture. Chains of living shadow erupt around him—black links forged from my magic, snapping tight.
At the same moment, I feel the invisible manacles lock into place. My pulse thunders as his voice echoes in my mind, low and amused:
"Well done, darling. It seems we are… inseparable."
I stagger, the room tilting around me. The infernal chains vibrate with Kaerith's laughter, binding our fates together. I only meant to call him—but now my soul is shackled to his.
Somewhere deep beneath the dungeons, I almost hear his grin split the darkness as he whispers back:
"Welcome to my world, Kocheshka."
Meanwhile back in Diana's living room ....
" No no no , what have I done ? I just wanted to call him , I d-id-nt mean to , " Hell I don't even know what I did !
" Well what you did is simple , you bonded yourself to me " I yelp jumping of the couch
" Sweet eve you scared me ! "
" Your confusions were becoming to much for me to handle from where I was ! "
" What's that mean ? You felt my emotions ?"
" Yes that's part of the perks and disadvantages of being binded to a demon ranking the food chain I'm afraid "
" Well how do I unbind us ? Tell me !. "
I slump to the ground in defeat , but it doesn't really feel like I'm sad about it .
" Of course you are not sad , you crave it "
" Get out of my head ! "
" Oh but I like being inside you !"
" Sweet eve ! What have I truly done ? " The blasted demon smirks at my dilemma ! But then I see something, my knees carry me as I lazy crawl to his front ! " What's this ? " I whisper feeling the warm Dark liquid on his coat .
" Blood "
" Did I hurt you ? " I panic my hands going to unbotton his shirt but then I pause .. " it's not your blood is it ? "
" No but you would have heard no complaints from me whatsoever!"
" Ughh you perverted , Ancient demon ! "
" It's nice to see you care for me !"
" I don't ! "
" Whatever makes you sleep better at night !" He stares at me , as usual like a puzzle his trying to piece together.
" Kae! "
" Yes darling ?! "
" The day you fazed me to Vharûn! I didn't have to sit on you did I ? "
" Been thinking about sitting on me ! Who knew the wild cat has feelings !"
" You are deflecting !"
" No you didn't need to !"
" So why did I ? Or rather why did you place me there ? " He cocks a brow at me like I asked a stupid question , he leans into me , his face only an inch apart from mine
" Because I wanted to feel you , despite your distress , I had to be selfish because who knew when you would let me touch you ! The same way I didn't have to kiss you to make that blood oath when we first met ! But call me selfish because once I looked at you that was the only thing I wanted to do .. to taste those soft lips and feel them on mine , and I'll say you did not disappoint me - when you - kissed me back ! Despite me being a stranger ! Someone you just met , and you can tell yourself it was because of the weak state you were in Diana ! But we both .. know the truth " I can feel his breath , basically exchanging breaths now , I cautiously move back ! Letting it all sink in .
I'm binded to a powerful high rank demon , who apparently loves to feel me ? No that's not right , is sexually attracted to me ! And I'm a demon not a human , who might be sexually attracted to him too , and he's a very good looking demon who will take me to hell becaue that's where I technically belong , and did I mention I'm binded to him ? Yh did I get it everything right ?
" That's about right Darling ! " He replies !
" Damnit ! Sweet Eve ! Please stop that !!!! , are we going to b needing rules ? " Cause I'll gladly lay them down !
" I'm not very good with those you see "
God help me !
