29 CHAPTER 29: MY TWISTED MIRROR OF TRUTH? (2/2)
”Zera...don't believe in her...I didn't order any of them to kill my beloved Zera who made me happy during this journey...”.
Ru's very words made Zeran to feel some kind of gratitude and boosted his affection for her even more. He looked at Ru and it seemed she was really telling the truth, as she was expressing a furious look too. Even though, he already knew that Fae's statements were all filled with twisted lies. He was in his thoughts afterwards,
(”Wow...Ru's into me now...now that's a weird development...even if we'll say our farewells...”).
Soon Zeran utters out with great emphasis, defying Fae's mouth of lies, pointing his finger unto her statements,
”Sorry b*tch Fae...but I don't believe your story...”
”WHAT'S YOUR REAL MOTIVE IN COMIMG HERE?”.
Queen Fae cracked out a sinister grin on her face. Zeran saw her grin but, it wasn't filled with some sort of cuteness and tempting beauty such as Ru's yet instead, Fae's expression was filled with demonic intent and would scar anyone's soul, despite the holistic color of her hair. Queen Fae let her devious hand feel her whole face, amplifying her malicious form even more and she said,
”It seems it didn't work...so I guess I'll tell you the truth...”
”Let's just say we were given orders by the Light Goddess herself to seize the Dark Goddess...”
”Since she's creating a newer kind of darkness that is a threat to the light Goddess's world...”
”And to make it all possible...she had chosen another hero...”.
As the cue was set, Nassus appeared behind Fae. The falling snow was gone, the air was frozen, the sky was dimmed with dark clouds covering the radiance of the sun's rays, proving the grand entry of Nassus. Queen Fae wreathed unto him such as she was a vile snake and lifted her other leg such as she was proving to Zeran and Ru that they were in a relationship of a boyfriend and girlfriend. Then, Fae expressed her words,
”Glad you had come...my new LOVE Nassus”.
Ru was frozen in fear, as she saw the monstrous hero yet again. Her hands were shaking, her tail was stiff and stoned below. Zeran was shocked not only in his eyes but, inside his thoughts aswell,
(”This can't be a joke right?!”)
(”NASSUS IS HERE?!”)
Queen Fae noticed that both Zeran and Ru were spilt in grave shock, so she tried to melt their stiffened looks by proving their utter demise is near their fingertips by saying,
”So what will it be, Zen?”.
Zeran bit his lip in anger, since he had no other choice to begin with. Soon, he was convinced. He went near the huge vacant area. Ru tried to stop him by reaching out her hand but, she felt there was no other way around. Nassus went to the opposing side by the distance where Queen Fae, her knights and Ru could observe. Zeran brought out his golden claw once again but, he took on a defensive stance, readying to block and anticipate any kind of strikes. Nassus didn't bring out his sacred weapons yet again, and just stanced normally, clenched his fist, eager for more bloodshed. Cracklings of his fingers were heard by the audience. The cold air was mixed with the fiery flames of the battlefield. Ru just looked down and wore a solemn and hopeful looking face hoping for a miracle, in which it was quite ironic for a dark Goddess to plea for divine mercy yet, also pitful. The next whiff of the air, Nassus already dashed in front of Zeran with blinding speed. Thankfully, Zeran was able to block and parry Nassus's first blow, making Nassus to lose his balance for a mere second. Zeran tried to dish out a swing of his claw to Nassus's face yet, Nassus vanished in the speed of light instantly. Zeran noticed that Nassus was already beside him. Sadly, his recoil from his claw took longer than expected, so Nassus was able to throw so many powerful punches at Zeran's side. Zeran wasn't able to block all of them turning his body and face to be pummeled down fast. The next moment, Nassus, punched his stomach with immense force, letting him cough out blood. Zeran wasn't able to recover himself so, Nasus grabbed his neck and lifted him up. Soon, Nassus squeezed his powerful hand, suffocating and almost crushing Zeran's windpipe. Zeran's vision became cloudy and the lights of his senses were almost gone. As Ru was noticing that Zeran is nearing his death, she shouted with all her heart and pleaded kneeling unto the ground,
”PLEASE NO MORE!”
”STOP HURTING ZERA! Please! Just don't kill him!”
”I beg of you...”.
Ru's eyes were leaking out pitiful crystal tears. Her appearance wasn't that much of a Goddess yet instead, she was like a maiden or a princess begging to stop the grievious torture of her dear lover. Nassus had stopped clenching his hold unto Zeran and just threw him over the long distance. Queen Fae cracked out a devious grin when she heard the dark Goddess pleaded like a little girl. Fae was very fascinated to see the pitiful Goddess on the ground. It seemed their very fates have been reversed, such as Ru was now the priestess begging for mercy, while Fae had descended unto becoming more like the dark Goddess herself. Nassus had paused for a second and Fae brought out her words filled with sarcasm,
”Really? I can't believe I would hear that from the EVIL GODDESS herself...”
”Such irony this is...”
”You heard her dear Zen...”
”She pleaded in order for you to live...”
”Now...If you would come with us...soon former dark Goddess Ru...”
Ru stood up but, her broken tears were still pouring from her determined look.
Nassus went in front of Ru in a flash of light. That moment, Nassus was giving her an icy stare and he was towering over Ru's vision, blocking off any light, making her to feel very terrified, turning the air to become dense and thick. Suddenly, Nassus punched her stomach. The powerful jab made Ru to cough-out her ruby-like blood, staining the snowy ground in deep scarring velvet. She felt the immense excruciating pain that coursed throughout her veins, such as she was hit by a cannon ball that came from the not so gentle Nassus. Soon, she lost her consciousness and fell asleep. As the slumbering Ru almost lost her balance, Nassus seized the opportunity and lifted her on his powerful arms. Then, he carried her off like she was some kind of baggage on top of his broad shoulders. While the severed-looking Zeran saw that his Goddess Ru was being carried away, he tried to reach out with his hand, crawl his way back to her and he says his weak words filled with shock,
”Ru...why...”.
(”This...can't be happenning...”)
(”I can't believe...I'm this weak...”)
,as he said in his thoughts filled with regrets. Zeran was down for the count yet, dark miasma had bursted out from his body, seeping the whole place in the air of death and decay. His abyssal aura was too thick and even filled with terror, making the golden and black knights to cower in fear, despite their steeled souls. Darkness shrouded the whole place, muting anyone's senses into the void. Zeran got up somehow but, his vibe was filled with grave negativity and he wasn't in his usual self. It seemed he was truly a demon spreading out fear and terror to anyone in his wake that moment. His eyes were glaring in berserk red. His emotions were dead such as a lifeless zombie. His golden claw was cloaked in deep darkness. Soon, he tried to pounce and strike at Nassus with great speed and ferocity. Thankfully and quite sadly, Nassus anticipated his strike and Nassus casts out his magic spell immediately,
”PENDRAGON BURST!”.
From the dark skies above, there emerged a twisting serpentine energy that had the shapes and rainbow colors of prismatic searing dragons in different elements, that descended and struck down the berserked Zeran. As it hit him, the whole place was filled with immense bursting energy of white. Zeran was totally shrouded by the powerful light, burning flames, freezing ice, shocking lightning, blasting winds, gushing waters, and torturing darkness were mixed into the most deaf-defying way as possible. Soon, the powerful light had ceased. Zeran was revealed battered and unconscious lying on the ground. The air of death was gone and Zeran's terrifying aura had dispersed. Fae was convinced that she had won, so she knacked out a menacing smile. Afterwards, Nassus, Fae and her knights left the area, bringing along the poor dark Goddess Ru. Zeran was swimming in his thoughts filled with uncertainties a little while later,

(”Is Ru really evil and wrong, while Ange is truly good and right?”)
(”Is Nassus really the hero and I'm the villain all along?”)
(”What's good and evil?”)
(”What's light and darkness?”)
(”This can't be the end right?”).
Sometime soon, Ru was thrown in a certain room in a dark dungeon below, that the only source of light were the white flaming torches. Her delicate hands were chained upwards such as she was hanging like some kind of princess kidnapped by a villain, despite she was a dark Goddess. Her eyes were seeing the devious Queen Fae in front of her and Nassus was leaning on a wall beside her. Queen Fae held Ru's face and squished her cheeks to prove who's in control. Then, Fae let out her words, filled with deep terror in her eyes,
”Tell me...what are you really after this time?”.
Though, Ru didn't reply to Fae's question instead, Ru turned her face away from Fae's line of vision, defying her orders. Fae wasn't pleased when Ru ignored her question, so Fae released her hold on the captive dark Goddess Ru. Thereon, Fae moved away for a few paces and said,
”Not talking huh...”.
She brought out a black whip and lashed unto the ground to prove Ru's utter demise. Ru gulped in fear for her dear life despite she was a dark Goddess. Even though, she's forever ressurecting and immortal in aging with certain heavenly limits, she can still feel the utter pain of any human being or any living creature. More than that, the Goddesses have boosted senses even the feelings of such thorns of blood due to some divine reasons. The next moment, Fae whipped out a strong strike at Ru's chest, since Fae's kinda envious of Ru's melons too. Ru felt the jab of thorns from the whip,
”Gaaahck...”.
Sadly, Fae was truly unforgiving so she lashed out more hits at Ru's entire body that took almost forever. Ru was feeling the endless pain that were in waves after another. The immense pain coursed even through her senses, making her to feel lightheaded and giving her a clouded vision, losing track of the time on how long she was tortured. Fae's aura was truly revealed, as she was passionately whipping Ru almost relentlessly without any resistance, such as Fae was truly a sadistic person. As the torture chamber continued and Ru had incurred more fresh wounds from Fae's whips, Ru was now dripping out blood from her mouth and she was truly looking very pitiful to observe. As soon as Fae noticed that Ru was almost looking unconscious yet again, Fae took a sudden stop from her passionate sadistic whipping and went in front of Ru once again. She squished Ru's face again but, it was filled with greater force, abusing Ru in the most putrid way as possible. Thereon, Fae asked Ru again,
”Now tell me, what is it you're truly after?”.
Ru replies with her weak and soft words, while tears of scarlet blood were leaking from her scarred face,
”Lo...ve...”.
Queen Fae was surprised, as she heard the shocking revelation from the dark Goddess Ru, turning Fae's face to mask a creeped out smile filled with grave sarcasm. Soon she says out loud, laughing over the heavens above,
”What was that? Love?!”
”I CAN'T BELIEVE I'D HEAR THAT!”.
She looked at the composed Nassus and said,
”You heard that Nassus?”
”She wants a TASTE of Love...”.
As Nassus heard the words of the vile Fae, he nodded. He had stopped leaning at the wall and removed his abyssal claw. He went to Ru instantly such as he was a shadowy spectre. He gripped Ru's shackled hands with immense force and he says terrifyingly,
”If that's what she wished for then I'll—”
Angehime appeared behind and interrupted,
”Save that thought for now...Nassus...”
”Also Fae...would you kindly leave us for now...and I'm sure your other lovers are waiting for you...”
”You too Nassus...”.
Queen Fae just sighed looking uninterested, since she was looking forward onto torturing more of the poor dark Goddess Ru to prove her passion and dominance. Nassus removed his hold unto Ru. Soon, Nassus left the place, while Fae was clinging to him like a fascinated girlfriend, even though they weren't in any proper relationship of a couple. Though, they were somehow like in a relationship of carnal lovers or friends with benefits such as you'd call in a modern world. As the two Goddesses of light and dark were the only ones present, Ange went near to Ru and removed her eyeglasses. She carressed the lightheaded Ru and said with great compassion, such as Fae still has the presence of the light Goddess,
”Ru...like I said...this is what you'll get...if you defy your fate...”.
Ru responds,
”Ange...”.
Then, Ange continues to say with a delicate tone,
”But don't worry...I'm not that harsh and I'll keep your chastity safe...rather I'll wait for the perfect time that you'll be SLAIN and DESTROYED by the one you love...”
”Or should I say, the former hero, Zeran...”
”Also, I'll have an agreement with Nassus after this...after all I am quite interested in him...”
”So don't worry about your virginity on ALL OF YOUR HOLES...”
”Lastly...stop crushing down my ideals in hindsight using that FORMER Hero...”
Ange was giving out a divine smile at Ru yet, Ange's intentions were filled with maniacal desire and crushing ambitions, setting the place in a distorted form of light that was even the darker than the abyss, even though she was revered as a light Goddess. Afterwards, Ange left the place and Ru was the only one left, isolating her from the outside world although, that state was better for her than being tortured by the three revered bringers of light from before. Ru was recovering from her state quite gradually yet, her face was still scarred. Though, she was more concerned for the unconscious Zeran rather than herself especially in her thoughts,
(”I hope...Zera's alright...”).
The next moment, she tried to move her index finger. Her index finger glowed some kind of lavender light. She tried drawing a pentagram of sorts, using her weak index finger and cast out,
”Doll control...”.
Her crimson tears started to pour again but, it wasn't filled with pain from her experience. Rather, she was filled with a mix of regrets and pity for her dear loving Zeran, since if it wasn't for her sake of being with him, this shouldn't had happened to him. She let out her fading sorrowful words afterwards,
”This is the only way I can do to help Zera...”
”Zera...I'm sorry...”.
