24 Eternal Creed Final (2/2)
Salem is seen at the upfront throne chair made up of purplish dust crystal stones and grimm bones.
”Ah, so our newest member joins us today. Come to me boy, let me see you up close once more.” Salem's dark aura chokes Shadow and freezes his body. He could barely breathe and move, it was like an insane amount of gravity was pushing down on him. Her incredibly powerful aura was something of legends, but was it really aura? Or some other kind of power like dark magic? To be up so close to such a godly power brought a slight sense of fear inside of Shadow.
'Salem dark aura feels more powerful than the first time I have seen her! I can't even breathe! And why is my heart pumping so fast!?' Shadow gripped his chest and breathed heavily. Even with all of his powers and augments, Shadow felt the wrath of Salem's power.
”Do not be afraid boy. I promise I won't bite.” Salem waves her hands for him to come over. Shadow instinctively walks over to her, he knew if he angered her he would be beyond dead.
'Hmm, he does look like Ozpin. Everything from his face and hair, however, his eyes are a dark red instead of dark brown. What curse do you bring before me now Ozpin?' Salem leans back against her throne and crosses her heavenly thick thighs which were shown for a split second under her long black dress.
Shadow is now in front of Salem. Both of his hands are inside of his black jean pockets. His white long hair dangled over his red eyes.
”You look like a fearsome hunter indeed. I have seen your battles with Adam, Neo, Cinder, and of course the Grimm. I see everything and I know everything. But I can't seem to understand you.” Salem places her overly pale hands, which had purplish colored veins under Shadow's chin. In fact, Salem's whole body was covered with visible purplish veins, she looked like a more evolved humanoid form that was infused with Grimm blood, actually, her veins closely resembled the blackish viscous liquid pools that were found scattered across the Land of Darkness.
”If you want to join me, then you must uphold your eternal creed to me. You must drink this.” Salem slits her wrist with her razor-sharp fingernails and lets her blackish blood spill into a glass cup.
'Yeah... I am not doing that. God knows what kind of poison and deadly power is in her blood.' He thinks to himself.
”I am afraid I will have to decline. I don't really trust whatever that is.” Shadow points at the glass cup full of Salem's black blood.
”If you don't drink it then I am afraid you will DIE.” Salem did not like listening to his response, no one should dare ever refuse an order from the Dark Goddes herself! She taps her fingers on the wooden meeting table and a low creepy screech his heard in the background.
*Ttt ttt ttt click click grrrrh* Weird alien-like noises were drawing closer to Shadow. A floating faceless orb grimm that had 10 long tentacles crept towards his way. It looked like a grimm jellyfish, but it was way worse and more sinister than one.
'Is that a Seer Grimm? This is most diffidently a fucked up situation'
