Chapter 168 The Inktresss Folly (2/2)

”Why?” Ebony asked.

”He was a threat to my master. Now that threat has been dealt with,” the woman replied, ”I admit it is a shame that we couldn't get the method for producing the charms from him, but seeing as he was so close to you two-” Her figure stepped forward and melded through the bars before she put a finger beneath Ebony's chin and raised it, ”-Perhaps you could be of use in that aspect”.

”Go bake in the sun, Inktress,” Midas spat from the next cage over.

The woman turned with dark eyes towards him, and Midas smirked, ”Yeah, I know who you are. The Hybrid Magician who serves Ishta Alamone like a loyal dog”.

”Ishta Alamone?” asked Ebony, ”He ordered this?”

The Inktress straightened her back, ”You had no place to deny him in the first place. This world is his for the taking, it is only a matter of time”.

”This world?” asked Aegin with a smirk, ”I think he thinks to highly of himself”.

The Inktress glared at Aegin, then wrapped his throat with the dark ink she was so famous for. Aegin gasped for air, and his hands struggled with the watery choker. He couldn't grip it, and yet it gripped his neck so tightly.

”Should I drown you as well? After all, you don't sound like you know anything. Your life is worth nothing now without him,” the Inktress hissed.

”Did you behead him?” asked Ebony.

The Inktress paused.

”Did you stab him through the heart?”

The Inktress turned as she looked at Ebony. The ink's grip around Aegin's throat loosened, and he coughed as he chuckled.

”You didn't di you?” asked Aegin, ”You should have done your research. Rassa isn't your average being. It takes quite a lot to kill something like him”.

The Inktress's eyes narrowed, ”What are you saying?”

A small smile painted Ebony's lips, ”We're saying you should do a thorough check before you pronounce someone dead”.

”When he comes for us,” Aegin said, ”You better believe that your ink won't be able to save you then”.

The Inktress seemed suspicious. Like she wasn't sure whether or not to believe them. Then she melded back into a puddle.

Illai rushed to the depths, casting out her ink to find the body. But as she stopped in the spot where those red eyes had faded, her heart skipped a beat in fear.

Where was he?

What had she let loose?

Back on the ship, Midas looked at Aegin and Ebony, ”What do you mean he's not dead? No one survives what she no doubt did to him”.

”He's not human,” Jeremiah said from the side. He'd been silent until them, his pride as a Captain pierced and ruined, ”What did he call himself again?”

”Vampire,” Aegin provided, ”And from what I know, they're very difficult to kill”.
