18 sp03 01, He meets her very weird (2/2)
He shows his hand covered by filthy and sticky thing; however, he's very skeptical. She grabs it without hesitate.
He feels her hand cold, weird, made him shivered and afraid. ”I'm Jaino, Diarke…” His lips feel cold. He tries to remove her hand however he can't touch it; only she can grab him. ”What's with you?”
Happily, she looses her hand as she distances herself. Wide arms open as she walks in a circling motion, she swirls and swirls. And she stops. —her attention towards at the amazed Jaino. ”Well, well, I'll straight into the point. Grant me your help and satisfy my urge, and I'll grant you one wish and free you alive, how is it?”
He thinks, She is Dralk. ”Explain yourself?”
”It's a private matter, so… how about I tell you, hmn… I've been stuck like this from long many years ago, and I can't go away far from my body to ask help.”
”A witch? An old hag?”
”…you're rude! Rude! Rude! Rude! Is my beauty really not enough to attract a man?”
”Rather than attract, it's unpleasant. Moreover, for you living this kind of place, it's creepy. You even made me shiver and fright.”
”Ah? Can't be helped… allow me to show my body...”
Expecting her to undress, he sees a hole opens onto the fleshly floor. A bed elevates and settles. And the hole disappears.
His eyes are much wide open. And after he has vomited again, he shuts his eyes. Kneeling and shaken, his arms are shivering trying to crawl away from that lady. His chest feels the pain. He's horrified.
The woman appears as she hunkers into his front. The walls disappear and everything becomes dark except to where they are. Considering the cold is heavy to his shoulders and mind. ”Where do you try to go?”
She's horrible! She brutally murdered her twin. He vomits... yet nothing has gone out. ”Grant me first and I'll grant yours.” His head is heavy and dizzy. His view revolves, stops and restores—in repetition. His head is aching. He closes his eyes. He's shaking his head. His throat is sour. He doesn't have any choice.
”Speak loud.”
”Protect me and be my support.”
”Oh, huh? That's twice, but sure.” She appreciates gladly as she stands with arms wide open, evoking a job well done. Her hands she unites behind her waists. Happily yet mysteriously, she swirls and swirls. She faces Jaino. ”I'm being generous here; you could wish to use my strength to conquer this world, y'know?”
”What do you mean?”
The fog appears surrounding the water, the isles, and the islands. She says, ”Look, I'll show you this once. This is what our world is like, plain isn't it? Well, that's what we believe in. I can destroy it if you want.” Then the images disappear.
”You're insane.”
”But your wish is too small, like this.” As she shows her fingers gap around half an inch near his weary eyes. She covers her palm to his vision. ”Now sleep well. I'll use your blood and resurrect myself…”
