127 Eye For An Eye (2/2)

Robert thought for a moment before he said, ”ya, I know a few places for mid and high level deals, but most of them are invitation only. I Recommend you go to Corvo's shop in The Underground if you say the code words in the right order he'll point you in the direction of whatever you need for a price”.

Gresham eyes lit up after he leared Robert actually knew what he had been searching, so long for.

”What's the code words”

”Its ...”. Words can not describe how overjoyed Gresham felt after leared how to obtain what he needed.

”Are we almost there?”.

”Ya, were almost there we just have to pass threw that alleyway”.

As Gresham and Robert entered the alley they saw a man standing in the middle of it tagging a wall. The man's painting was beautiful the one who painted it was so focused in what he was doing it looked as if he was in a trance as he continued to paint. After a few seconds he noticed Gresham and Robert the three of them locked eye's for a brief moment before he ran.

”Its another refugee”.

”How can you tell Robert?”.

”Ever since the refugee's came here there was a major spike in the amount of graffiti found around town and all there art is somewhat similar, so after a while you can tell them apart. But that doesn't matter lets just go”.

As Robert continued to move forward Gresham said, ”there's no need were already here”.

”We ar ...”. Before Robert could finish Robert felt something hard hit him on his head causing him to fall to the ground. A terrible pain washed over him as blood spilled into his eye. Gresham stood over Robert grabbed him by the throat.

”Yo_r ... n_ot” Robert struggled to get his words out of his mouth words as Gresham squeezed tighter .

”[Air Compression]”

Gresham created created a sphercal ball of air around Robert head. The sphere cut off all of Robert's air suffocating him.

”[Muffle]”

As Robert struggled Gresham cast another spell that greatly reduces the amount of noise in an area reducing the chance of someone hereing his screams. Not long after Gresham towered over Robert's weak body then took the time to once again look at the graffiti on the wall. The graffiti gave him an odd feeling, but he had no time to inspect it and he also didn't care that much about it anyway.

”[Invisibility], [False Image]”

Gresham's magic made the alley seem normal to the naked eye as he made his escape into the sewer with his captive.

...

Back inside Desmond's secret base the sound of a fist pounding on flesh echoed out clear. It hadn't been long since Desmond captured Robert, but he had already beaten him to a bloody mess. Desmond had Robert chained up to a wall as he continued punching him.

”Hay, stop trying to fall unconscious I just got you and I haven't even used any of the stuff we bought together. I was thinking about starting with those stubborn finger nails, so I took out the pliers. But I value your opinion so lets first see what the hammer can do”. Desmond had a sadistic smile on his face as he assaulted Robert.

Robert's gaze was unfocussed the world span around in circles even when Desmond grabbed him by his hair and forced Robert to look at him Robert's gaze shifted which only made Desmond hit him more.

Zane's will watched from the side quietly until he said, ”you've let those wills influence you to much you were not like this before. I recommend ...”.

Zane's voice made Desmond angry he lashed out and said, ”you shut the fuck up if I want your opinion on something i'll ask for it”.

Those word brought out the dark side in Zane's will, before Desmond even knew what happened his entire body was implanted inside of a wall.

Zane's will released a terrifying dark aura that petrified Desmond as he walked towards Desmond.

Desmond looked at Zane's will fearfully as he said, ”how did you do that aren't you basically a hologram?”.

”Do not speak simply listen. I may simply be a will, but I am the will of someone you can only dream of matching. Currently I have been very kind, but mark my words speak to me like that again and I will kill you. Your nothing in the eye's of someone like me. Now nod if you understand”.

Desmond noded just like Zane's will said fearfully. What Zane's will did drew up all of Desmond's fears of him, but it also made him rational.

Reluctantly Desmond said, ”Thanks”.

”I don't need your thanks all I need is for you to remember you've been warned. Now do you want to learn how to properly torture someone or not”.

”Yes, I do”.

” That's good, but to learn how to torture someone that comes with a condition”.

”What is it?”

”The condition is whatever you want to do to someone you must first do to yourself”.

” What?”

Desmond felt Zane's condition weird and it made him a bit worried about the days ahead.

”What did you think that's everything you want is just going to be handed to you? Magic comes from pain. Every sacrifice you make, every loss, every win, scrape, bruise, death all of it strengthens your soul, it makes you stronger in turn it makes you a better mage. so, I will say it once more do you wish to learn?”.

Desmond hesitated for a moment, but then he realized he had already suffered so much pain and loss to get where he is today, so what's a little more.

With unwavering conviction Desmond replied, ” yes”.
