Chapter 7 Devilish Aruna Princess (2/2)
”Goddess? Hmm... you see me as something beautiful? I'm surprised little monkey. You should be caught up in an illusion that you are in front of the thing that scares you most, yet you seem to see my true form. How very interesting.” Taking another step closer, she was standing in front of Laz. He was once again dumb-founded. How? How is that possible? She took only three steps and yet still moved over 30 feet. That was impossible.
Reaching her hand down, she placed it under Laz's chin and slowly raised up his entire body until he was once again in a standing position.
”Hmm, I wonder, what is it?” She thought to herself and she looked Laz over from top to bottom. She was stumped. Should could not figure out how he was able to feel her presence and not see the image she was projection. Humans, like all creatures, have a natural fear they feel towards dangerous predators and she was the most dangerous thing on the planet. He should have been unable to see her and be sent running from whatever nightmare he perceived her to be, but that didn't happen.
Lifting his chin once again with her soft and dainty hand, she made his face rise up until she saw his eyes. The clear, deep blue of his eyes was reflected right back at her without a hint of fear in them.
”OH, how pretty. I want them. I want to take them home with me. But, DAMN IT.” She said while stomping her shoe less foot. The rumbling from the force of the hit was enough to make the ground cave in by almost half a meter.
”Grr, oh well. It's probably better this way. No matter how we preserve them, they will eventually fade. Maybe I can get that crazy guy to come up with something more permanent?” She said out loud, trying to convince herself.
At this point, Laz was beyond scared. He had no idea what she was talking about, but he got the feeling she wanted to take his eyes with her? How would that be possible? He still needed them.
”Well my little monkey, this ends our fate for today, but since you have brought some interest to this princess, allow me to grant you a bit of something. It should also help me to find you later when I have a chance to dig out those beautiful gems of eyes,” the princess said to him as she set her left hand gently on the the right side of his chest. Her eyes blazed as the green light became piercingly bright.
Laz was suddenly gripped with an excruciating pain on his chest where her hand was. He was drowning in this wave of fiery hot torment as an ear piercing scream rose to his lips.
Sensing what was going to happen, the princess lifted up her other gentle and flawless hand. Like a streak of lightning, it quickly clamped around Laz's neck, lifting him off the ground and choking him at the same time.
Bringing him closer to her, the princess whispered into his ear ”Shh, shh ,shh. No yelling. That might kill the mood. Remember something, little monkey, we are the Aruna and you have been claimed by me. Don't let me down.”
Being unable to breathe caused Laz to be unable to shout. As the pain intensified, He felt his vision going black before passing out altogether. The last image to pass his clouded eyes was of the celestial beauty choking him with one hand while burning him with the other, smiling the whole time.
