2 A Visi (2/2)
”I did” said Draig packing his things
”What are you doing” asked the man confused
”I am leaving this place” said Draig as he started walking towards the gate until a hand grabbed his shoulder.
”You can't” said the man seriously
”Why not” demanded Draig as his claws lengthened
”The Guild's will not allow it” said the man firming his grip
”I don't care what they will allow, and I am starting to care less for your words” said Draig he was fed up.
”Is that so” said the man as a dangerous aura started to fill the area
Draig didn't shrink back and instead moved his fingers subtly and wisp of imperceptible mist touched the man's skin causing him to pull his hand back quickly.
”What did you do to me” demanded the man looking at the patch of skin that had turned black
”It's a curse, I am done with this charade. I thought you were on my side, the so called head of the Guild Association, you can't even control those under you so what gives you right to control me who is not affiliated to any of your guilds” stated Draig spitefully, hate can do dangerous things to the mind.
”Remove it” said the man as he flexed his magic
”I want to leave” said Draig as he twirled his finger again but this curse was blocked by the mans aura
”I can't allow that, you will remove this curse or I will make your life miserable” said the man
”I am already miserable, you haven't been able to deliver on anything you assured me. You are a pathetic” said Draig turning his back on the man and walking to the gate again
Dark fire sprung in front of him, and he found his throat clenched in a vice grip.
”You dare to turn your back on me, you dare speak against my methods. Who do you think you are dealing with, I am Zarra, the greatest dark mage to ever be granted the system” stated Zarra as he finally revealed his name.
”I don't care who you are, I am Draig, sole owner of the Vampire system” said Draig as he dug his claws into the arm holding him drawing blood.
Zarra stared at this young man who stood his ground in the face of his opponent even knowing it was not someone he could hope to match at the moment.
”I will return with what you are owed, when I do you will be obedient and stay here and remove this curse” said Zarra opening a rift.
Zarra appeared from the rift in a room where a secretary was waiting.
”Call the Heads of the Guilds here now” said Zarra as he walked to a closet and opened it to reveal an old and worn set of gear and a staff topped with a skull.
'I had tried to head everything by not relying on my reputation but it seems that was only wishful thinking and it took a confrontation with a child to wake me up' thought Zarra as he donned his adventuring attire from his younger days.
It was an hour before the Heads showed up, they carried an arrogant look in their eyes as they saw the cloaked Guild Association head.
”You will hand the Vampire boy his owed resources or else” said Zarra in a gravelly voice causing the heads to be shocked for a second, Zarra felt a tickle in his throat from the curse. It was nothing to his strength but the longer it remained the more it seep into his body.
”Association Head we will give him nothing and he will like it, you can't make us give out hard earned resources to that monster” said a rotund man with a grand beard and a war hammer.
”Is this how you all feel” said Zarra in the same gravelly voice getting a series of nods
Zarra took a breath and through off his cloak and revealed his identity getting gasps from the Guild Heads.
”You said I can't make you give any of the resources you agreed upon, even signed a legal binding document stating such and you still wish to renege on it and defy me, Zarra, The Neverending Darkness” shouted Zarra in anger his voice booming with power.
”N-No sir, we didn't mean it like that. We are no match for someone of your standing” said an old man with a magnificent sword.
”Then tell me what did you mean, to dare say I, of all people, cant make you do something” said Zarra staring cruelly at this group of arrogant fools.
”What I meant was it is merely unethical to force us to give those hard earned resources to a child who isn't even a part of our guilds” said the rotund man now sweating feeling a pressure fall on him
”Who was it that prevented him from being able to join a guild, to be left in seclusion cut off from the world. If I am not mistaken was this not the terms of which you agreed to hand those resources. One percent every month from each of your guilds, he has been there two months scraping together his own resources” said Zarra waving his staff which caught the eyes of the Guild masters.
”You will all regret having secluded that boy, he has accomplished something many have dreamed of only after two months alone” said Zarra
”What is that Lord Zarra” asked the Rotund man
”Nothing that concerns, you will give him the resources agreed upon and he will remain on his farm in seclusion” said Zarra ending the meeting by exiting the office using a rift.
