Endgame

Calm Before The Storm

Breathe in... breath out. Slow and steady. The outside grew cold with the upcoming autumn season as the dark clouds hung over the landscape in the night. Merlee walked alone, heading towards Morrin's new place. The sounds of thunder was far behind her, but were getting close every minute. It was time to end it all. Carrying her scythe, she finally makes it to the front of the mansion only to be met by two familiar trolls. Galina and the subjugglator that she had spoken to a while back.

"You guys are here...?" Merlee asked.

"Well, it wouldn't be fun to let you deal with this asshole on your own." Galina spoke. "Plus, that yellow blooded bastard tried to make a stupid deal with me."

Hirana was hesitant to speak, but finally did after a minute of silence. "I need to... I need to face her... I just found out that... she's the one that made me this way and I completely forgot after the accident. You were right." Hirana says. "I'm nothing but a tool to her..."

The red blood was surprised by this, but smiled. "As long as you know the truth, then you know how to forge a new path rather than staying on the one you were forced into." Merlee took a moment to take all this in. She thought she would be facing Morrin alone, but the fact that she has made allies meant a lot to her. She wished her mate was by her side for this. Perhaps its best for her to not be apart of this. Merlee doesn't know how this fight will go. She just needs to believe... and to try and not die. With those thoughts out of the way, her expression turned serious. "You guys are ready?"

Galina and Hirana both nodded as Merlee walked up to the front door, placing the palm of her hand against it. She muttered a spell, blasting open the door as she was the first one to enter once the smoke dissipates. The mutant and indigo blood followed side, staying by her sides as Morrin finally entered the grand hall after hearing the loud noise. "So you finally came to me." He says as Leanie and Kalios soon came out along side him. "Word has gone out that Jalone was killed. That... wouldn't happen to be you, right?"

"Honestly, if I did kill him, I would have made slow and painful for him." Merlee bluntly answered. "He did try and attack me, but I made a promise to someone that I'd keep him alive for them. Whatever happened to him, wasn't my doing."

"That's a shame. Despite him failing me many times over, he was a great investor to help me in my slave trade and-"

"Cut the crap." Merlee screamed. Morrin was shocked by her interruption, saying nothing more. "It ends here. Right here. Right now. You want me so fucking badly? Then do it. I'm right here!" The red gets on her battle stance with her scythe while the two trolls by her sides does the same.

Morrin stared at Merlee intensely. He looked afraid, as if he has never seen this side of her before. The numerous times she tried to outright attack him, they always failed and are never coordinated. Though, this time, something about her really caught him off guard. "Fine." He pulled out hisgun on his left hand while the sleeves from his suit began to burn off on his right, exposing his markings that allows him to utilize the abilities he uses. "It'd be shame to kill you if you make me do so."

"I fucking plan on it if it comes to that." Merlee responded as Morrin slowly walks down the stairs to face her. Once they were both at equal level, they began walking in a circle, trying to predict each other's first moves. Both finally stopped and both used powerful blast of fire that was enough to push them back and leave a hole on the roof. Both of them got up as the fight officially started which prompted Galina and Hirana to go head-to-head against Kalios and Leanie.

Merlee went for an overhead swing with her scythe but Morrin dodged to his right, taking aim with his pistol, firing as the red blood lifted her hand up, conjuring up a shield on time. Parasaiya went to the ground as a shadow, gliding towards Morrin from behind, surfacing and formed its arms like needles, striking. Morrin caught this at the last second, eyes widening as he just rolled away from the attacks with a slight scratch on his left arm. Raising his right arm, he snapped his fingers as the dark entity was set on fire, shrieking in pain until going back into Merlee.

Meanwhile, Hirana is fighting Leanie, going crazy with her attacks, not thinking rationally but full of anger. Leanie kept stepping back, dodging and blocking her attacks with a big grin on her face. "Look at you. You're fucking pathetic." Leanie mocked, swinging her scythe to the side which left a scratch on Hirana's left leg that made her scream in pain. "You haven't left a scratch on me, but I fucking did." Leanie grabs the other indigo blood by the shirt and head-butted her as hard as she could, enough to at least leave both of them bleeding from the forehead.

Hirana stumbled back onto the floor, crawling back as Hirana slowly walked towards her as her eyes changed to a glowing purple. "I will kill you!" Hirana said to her with a determined expression. "And you won't have to use me anymore as your stupid fucking puppet!"

"Then do it." Leanie quickly grabbed Hirana by one of her twin tails, bringing her up to Leanie's level. "You have your cleaver on your hand. Fucking do it."

Hirana lifted her right hand, holding the cleaver, wanting to swing, but unable to. Why can't she? Leanie only laughed, throwing her aside as she falls to the floor once more. "Hey?!" Her other personality came out. "Why didn't you fucking do it?! You had a chance right fucking there! Are you stupid?!"

"I... I-I can't do it..." Hirana only answers.

"Of course you fucking can't." Leanie interrupted as she kicks Hirana while the other indigo blood is still down, causing Hirana to leave out a grunt and coughing a bit. "She doesn't want to hurt me. She still has hidden feelings for me. It's disgusting." Leanie crouched down, looking at Hirana as she writhes in pain. "I want you to hear this before I just kill you and throw your decapitated head at some random ass river. I never was your friend. You are nothing more than just a helper for me and you did a mighty fucking job at it. It was fun while it lasted but your services, now that you know, are no longer use for me."

Leanie was about ready to give off her finishing blow as Hirana was about to accept her fate until she quickly thought, using the hook part of her cleaver, causing Leanie to fall back and to lose the grip on her scythe, letting go of it. Hirana kicked it away and threw her cleaver away, getting on top of her and began to land punches the other indigo blood. "I fucking hate you!" Hirana yelled. "You've lied to me all this time and I thought I could trust you! You made me forget what you did to me and used me for your fucking sick deeds!" Leanie tried blocking all Hirana's punches, putting her arms up to block her face.

While the two indigo bloods were fighting, Merlee and Morrin were still battling it out. Merlee got close to the blue blood, letting her scythe disappear as she uses her fists but having flames surrounding them, landing hit after hit on Morrin. The blue tried to hit her with his gun, but the red blood kept blocking them with her arms. Using her elbow, she pushed him back as she charges up a powerful fire blast with Morrin doing the same. Both of them fired which caused a big blast, leveling the entire mansion and blasting back those that were around the radius.

Merlee hit the ground, dazed as she just lay there for a moment until she felt a drop of rain hit her face. It soon began to pick up the pace, pouring, thundering, and strikes of lightning hitting around the area they're in. Parasaiya appeared, helping Merlee up as she stumbled a bit. "Are you alright?" It says with concern.

"Yeah..." The red blood merely answers. "I wasn't expecting that blast to be big." Merlee panted a bit, her clothes having some tears here and there, her face scratched a bit.

"Are you still able to continue to fight?"

"What? Yes! I'm not gonna stop until he's dead or both of us are dead." The red blood then heard a gun cocking back followed by a familiar face she hates so much.

"Then I guess you should take the third option. Preferably you dying and my living; you failing." Morrin says as Merlee slowly turned to him. His suit was almost gone with his right half torn right off after the big blast that happened a few seconds ago. Parasaiya tried to attack him again, but Morrin snapped his fingers once again, setting the dark entity on fire once more as it retreats behind Merlee which leave him exposed, Merlee's hand being surrounded by a dark cloud and grabbed at his right arm. The touch actually burned his right arm, screaming in pain as he swings his left arm and hit her away with his gun. Merlee falls to the ground from the hit, Morrin walking over to her and pointed his gun at her. "All of this... all of this could've been avoided if you just gave yourself up!"

"Well I don't give up so easily, asshole." Her eyes glowed teal, disappearing in a dark mist as Morrin begins to panic, looking around until he felt a sharp blade hitting his right arm as he screamed in pain. Merlee used her as she appeared behind him. Preparing herself, Merlee muttered a protection spell as Morrin aimed his gun at her face, firing which her spiritual shield helped block it, but the impact was still enough to stagger her back.

Meanwhile... "Ey... where fuck are you, you little rat?" Galina yelled, trying to find Kalios through the rubble. Soon a gust of wind came in and cards began to fly all around her as she was confused at first, but remembered, breathing out a puff of fire to burn them. It was hard to figure out where he could be considering his trickery and the rain and thunder doesn't help trying to hear him out. at the last second, she used her big sawed sword to block Kalios' attack. The Yellow blood stepped back, throwing more cards with sharpened edges as the mutant blood just burned them away.

"Why wouldn't you just join me?!" Kalios says, the right side of his face covered in bandages as his entire suit was almost gone, torn apart from the blast.

"I already answered your stupid ass question. You're fucking crazy." Galina slowly walked towards him as he tries to attack her with more cards as she just burned them away. "You've got to be fucking kidding me." She was about ready to swing her weapon until a gun shot rang out along following a second shot after three seconds passed. The mutant blood turned to where the gun shot went off as she just sees the blue blood standing over Merlee's body, his gun now just moving away from the aim of where he just shot. "No!" Galina was about ready to go after Morrin, but was knocked out by Kalios from behind.

"You made a big mistake, girly." Kalios whispered and carried her unconsious body.

Morrin stared down at Merlee, seeing as the blood formed under her head from where he shot. "I was this close... but I didn't see this coming. These people ruined my future..." The blue blood whispered to himself.

"Morrin, this troll here is still alive, but I was able to knock her out." Kalios says as he just arrived to where Morrin is. "What should I do with her?"

The blue blood look at Merlee's body for a moment before turning to Kalios. "Lay her over there." He says, pointing outside the ruins of what used to be his home. "Find those two subjugs as well. We'll execute them all since Merlee is dead. They are of no use to me anymore."

"Yes sir..." Kalios says, leaving Morrin alone.

Morrin examined his right arm, trembling, and burnt to the point that he can't make out the markings on it. Looking back at Merlee's body once more, he turned back to be ready to execute the ones he needs to rid of.

Morrin - Sweeps ago: The Beginning

"Mister Luccan... you do know that if you go back in time, anything you interfere with will more than likely change things in this present!" A troll said to the blue blood.

"I do not care for things that are not my priority." Morrin responded. "My only goal is to meet my ancestor and nothing more... now activate the machine."

The troll was silent, not wanting to make him angry, he did what he was told. The machine was activated as a gateway is opened up. It shimmered, almost transparent as it rippled like water.

Morrin slowly walked up to it, placing his right leg into it and then the restof his body. Everything was bright for a moment until he just appeared in mid-air, landing on the ground with a grunt escaping his mouth. Getting up, he patted down his suit of any dirt that got on him and looked around his surroundings. It seemed to be the middle of nowhere. Plains and plains as the eye can see. "I'm going to fire the one that couldn't put a precise location for me to be dropped off in." The blue blood began to walk, wandering about until he came across a town. At that moment, he began asking around of a troll that was known as The Forcer. Many of the trolls that inhabitated the town seemed to have not heard of such a title. With no luck, he went from town to town, sleeping and eating every now and then as he continued to search for his ancestor. Finally, he came across a much larger town and gained good information of where The Forcer might be. He began looking around from the intel he got, which seems The Forcer owns a large warehouse with his symbol on it. Eventually, he found it and walked inside, leaving many workers surprised that a troll just casually walked inside. Morrin went into The Forcer's office, now face-to-face with his ancestor.

The Forcer was on the phone until he came inside, stopping midsentence. "I'm going to have to call you back." His ancestor says as he just stared at Morrin standing in front of him. "Yes. You will get them by tomorrow... Yes. The deal is good. Okay. I'll call you back." Hanging up, he places his phone down and slowly got off from his desk and stared at Morrin. "Who are you?"

"My name is Morrin Luccan." The blue blood bluntly answers. "I was the one that have been sending you messages from the future."

The Forcer merely just laughed, figuring Morrin to be just another nutcase. "Really? How am I to believe that?"

Morrin looked behind his ancestor, seeing a pistol hanging on the wall. "That gun."

The Forcer turned to where his gun is displayed. "What about it?"

Morrin reached from inside his suit and pulled out the exact same gun. "It looks like the one I have."

Shocked by this, The Forcer went to his desk and pulled out a shotgun, pointing at Morrin. "Who the hell are you?! There's no way you would have the same gun! It's-"

"One of a kind." Morrin finished for him. "On the display case, there's a desciption that says a famous gunsmith made you this gun. Am I correct?"

The Forcer was hesitant to say no, but he knows that the blue blood was right. How could he have known what the description on the display says? "Alright... I'll bite." His ancestor lowered his shotgun. "If you are my descendant from 'the future,' why are you really here?"

"I wish to learn from you." Morrin answers. "I have continued the same business you're doing, but it's not going too well. I want you, specifically you, to teach me your ways; continue your legacy, so to speak."

The Forcer only smiled. "Well... why the hell not. I guess I could teach you some pointers her and there." That's when it began. Days go by as The Forcer and Morrin did business deals with many trolls, selling off low bloods and mutants to higher castes, mostly sea dwellers. Though there was one that Morrin had kept an eye on. A teacher of magic who goes by the name Nimira Zodius.

Morrin told his ancestor about the troll and they finally captured her. It wasn't long that a deal was made to a high ruler from the far west of Alternia. Apparently a sea dweller king lived in a castle and wants the troll as his personal weapon. This intrigued Morrin more so that as he was about to talk to his ancestor about it, he just came across his ancestor already sealing the deal with the high ruler. "God damn it..." Morrin muttered under his breath. As the high ruler left, Morrin walked up to his ancestor, angry. "Why did you went with it?!"

"What do you mean?" His ancestor asked.

"Did you not see it? Was it not obvious to you? You should've kept that troll! She's magic! She's powerful and SHE should've been yours to protect you from any enemies you have!" Morrin lashed out at him.

"Calm down." He said. "She's just a low blood. I don't need any help from anyone. Besides, the deal has already been done. There's no way to undo it."

"This will be your downfall." Morrin just walked away, angry while leaving his ancestor confused by the sudden attitude. Morrin was right about his ancestor's downfall. Morrin read a report of escaped slaves that took out his ancestor in a full-on siege. That's when Morrin decided to move up in time, to figure out what else he could do now the thirst for power was on his mind. He had trolls, in the time period he's in, build another portal to move up ahead in time. From there, he created a facility and put all of his resources onto cybernetics. He needs to be sure it works and so, therefore, he sent some trolls out to find one kid. Any kid. The first kid. The first test. Amorra Tarona. The child is in fear from the many tests she was put in. Eventually, it was time to change her, putting cybernetics into her and making her obedient. Sweeps passed by, Amorra almost an adult, Morrin was about ready to conduct an interview with her. She was seated across from him as he placed papers in front of him.

"What tests is this?" Amorra asked.

"It's just a series of questions." He replied. "I want you to answer them truthfully. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir." Minutes passed by as the teal blood answered every question. It almost the last question that something felt wrong to her. Everything she was saying felt wrong to her, she, herself, felt wrong. "This isn't right..." She whispered to herself.

"What's that?" Morrin wondered as he looked up to her to see her eyes darting all over the place. She was panicking.

"This is wrong..." Amorra got up from the chair. "I... I remember!"

Morrina slowly got up from the chair he was sitting, moving his hands in front him to gesture her to calm down. "Now, now... don't do anything rash, ZERO."

"NO! My... I'm not... don't call me that!" She stuttered, holding her head as she struggled to remember. "My... name is... Amorra... Tarona! You... no... trolls captured me when I was... a kid..." She slowly remembered and finally sees what had happened to her all these sweeps. "You... you fucking monster!" She leaped across over the table until Morrin pulled out a gun, pointing it at her. Not wanting to get shot, her last option was to escape. "You better hope you didn't harm Sevenn... you already ruined my entire life!"

Amorra ran off from the interview room as Morrin to catch up to her, but was unable to. Letting out a sigh, he eventually got a com that Amorra left a few people injured on her way out of the facility. Back to the drawing board. Another plan failed, he finally gave up on the dream of power and had another team of trolls to build another gateway back to the present. He made it back to his time, continuing on the slave trade until word seemed to be spreading around from among trolls he had come across. During the time at a cafe known as the Mystikal Cafe, he drank his tea and looked over at his phone. He then heard of a conversation among the female employees.

"Hey, Anyssa! Have you heard that we got a new worker?"

"Really?" The orange blood replied. "What's her name?"

"Merlee Zodius." The troll answered. "She seems nice. Also knows magic, apparently."

"Magic? Like our boss? Huh. Talk about a lucky thing for that gal to find a job like this with a boss that knows magic like her."

"Tell me about it. It's, like, fate!"

"Totally!"

Merlee Zodius? The last name caught his attention. Nimira's descendant is also a magic user. Perhaps his dream of power might actually come true. He merely smiled from the thought as he began to text everyone that is with him to try and find The Exiled's descendant.

Present: Not yet

Black. Then a bright light. Merlee opened her eyes as she was surrounded by nothing but white, enough to just be blinding one's vision. Is she dead? Did she fail to finish him off? Looking at her surroundings, she began to walk at a random direction, soon the scenery changed with a colorful forest. It was peaceful. She walked through the forest until coming across a sound of humming. She followed it and suddenly sees her ancestor sitting in a clearing, surrounded by flowers of many colors.

"N-Nimira...?" Merlee suttered.

Her ancestor heard a voice, standing up and turning around to see Merlee behind her. "Merlee? What are you doing here?" Nimira questioned.

The red blood didn't answer as she just ran up to her ancestor, hugging her. The Exiled was surprised by this, but smiled, wrapping her arms around her as her descendant cried onto her. "I-I'm so sorry!" Merlee says through sobs. "I couldn't s-s-save you!"

Not knowing what to say, Nimira pulled away from the hug, sitting back down and patted at the ground next to her. "Sit down." Merlee did as she was told, wiping away any tears she had on her face. "Don't be sorry. I knew I was eventually going to meet my fate. If not back then when I was alive or in my next life, in your present, much later on." Her ancestor explained. "Do not blame yourself for something you could not control. These things happen. The only thing you can do is just move on..."

"But... I could have done something! I was... so helpless..."

"You did the best you could and I appreciate you wanting to save me. Trust me, I really did. I know that we don't talk much, and I know that I have been vague at certain times, nor been the greatest ancestor to you like I should be, but I cared about your well being. I have wanted you to move on, be happy with your mate, grow old together, all that sappy stuff. Keeping things like loss stuck in your mind isn't healthy. You start making dumb decisions and you wouldn't be able to undo those if they negatively affect those around you. Remember that."

"I know..." Merlee merely said. The red blood looked around the beautiful are around her. "What is this place?"

"The afterlife. Well, one part of it."

"Wh-what?! I'm dead?!"

"Of course, otherwise why would you be here talking to me?" Nimira replied. "I have been watching you facing that blue blood. You took a nasty blow to the head... meaning... you got shot."

"You... you have been watching me?" Merlee questioned in curiosity.

"I have. Though I wasn't expecting you to arrive this quickly. It took me a while to reach the afterlife."

"... So... why did you tell that whole shpeel about being happy and such? I'm... dead." Merlee says in disappointment. "I failed... and I failed my mate."

"It's not your time. Not yet." Nimira opened up the palm of her hand as cloud formed to reveal what has happened back in the living. It formed into Parasaiya hovering over Merlee's body, extracting its life force for Merlee to come back to life. "It changed so much since the first time I created it." Nimira mentioned randomly.

"Para... he's giving its energy to me, but... he'll be gone forever..."

"You may not think about it all that much, but there's always people, or things, that care about you. So go back out there. Until then, it has been nice talking with you again, my descendant."

Merlee was overwhelmed by this, but got focused, standing up as she faded away from the afterlife. Back in the living, Morrin lined up all the unconsious bodies of Galina, Hirana, and Leanie, about ready to execute them while they are still out. "Thank you for trying to help me, even though all three of you didn't do much and one of you refused to do what you were told." Morrin says as he pulls out his gun, starting with Galina. "Your services are now done."

He was about to pull the trigger until a beam of light shot up to the sky. He looked up, seeing the clouds separating from this beam, following it down to Merlee's body. The blue blood just shook his head, not wanting to believe this as he just sees Merlee's began to stand up. The bullet wound that was on Merlee's head fades away as if it never happened. Her eyes then opened, quick stepping towards him, grabbing his left arm that held his gun. "This is for my ancestor." She bent the blue blood backwards. He screamed in pain, falling to the ground which caused Kalios to flee in fear, not wanting to be a part of this. "And this is for Parasaiya, who gave up his life to revive me back from dead." Her arms turned dark, a spiraling black mist wrapped around them as she grabs both his arms, burning them as he just screams in agony. The screams was enough to wake up the rest of the trolls though Leanie quickly ran away once she gained some awareness of what was going on. Merlee dropped him onto the ground as Morrin tried to use his right arm to use his abilities, but nothing came out.

"Wh-What?!" Morrin yelled. "Nothing... why?!"

"Because your abilities are runic. The powers you have are merely things you just tattooed on yourself. With out the markings, you're just a normal troll." Merlee had her scythe appeared, ready to strike the final blow.

Morrin accepted his fate, unable to find any way to get out of this situation. "Fine... finish me off. Make it quick... you won."

Galina and Hirana got up and watch was about to happen. Merlee lifted her scythe, but stopped. She slowly put down her scythe, letting it disappear. "No..."

Surprised by this, Morrin looked up at her. "What the hell do you mean no? I've caused you nothing but pain and suffering! Kill me! What are you waiting for?!"

"No... not me."

"What do you mean?"

"Uh... yeah." Galina says. "Why not just chop his fucking head off right then and there?"

"No. There's someone else that wants to see him really suffer." Merlee replied. "I want kill him. I really do. But thinking about it now, there's someone that wants him dead more than me. Galina. Hirana. Take him to a friend of mine. Her name is Amorra Tarona."

"WHAT?!" He tried to crawl away using his legs. "No, no, no, no, no! Just kill me! Just get it over with!"

"Where is she?" Hirana said.

"I'll teleport you guys to her." Merlee answered. "I can use a spell for my focus on a certain place or person for me to able to teleport myself, anyone, or anything to said location or person."

"Well, that's fine with me." Galina says. The mutant and the indigo blood went over to get Morrin, being sure he doesn't run off anywhere as they all stood still. "What are you gonna do?" Galina asked. "Are you gonna be okay on your own? You look like shit."

"I'll be fine." Merlee place a hand on Galina's shoulder, ready to conjure her spell. "I'm just glad to get his face out of my sight forever." She merely said, looking Morrin who is in fear, not knowing what's going to happen once he goes to Amorra. The red blood muttered the spell as all three of them disappeared. She was left all alone. Collapsed to the ground, falling back onto her rear as just watches some bits of fire that are burning from Morrin's destroyed mansion. The rain finally stopped. Morrin is finally stopped. Meaning she can finally have peace. "Thank you, Para... thank you."

A Fallen Kingdom

Morrin was brought over to Amorra from atop of a roof. He scrambled to the ground, and used his right arm, which wasn't broken, to get himself back up. Galina whistled, calling out her dragon lusus and both she and Hirana flew away from the roof, letting Amorra deal with Morrin. "Do you know how long I waited for this moment?" Amorra says, looking off into the city. "So long. Ever since I gained my memory and later found out the sickening shit you've done." The teal blood turned around to face him as he just grins.

"So what are you going to do?" Morrin said.

"I think the better question is what WE are going to do." A voice is heard as Morrin turned around to see some people that looked familiar.

"No... no, no, no. Not you!"

"You do remember me! Then you also know Salemm, my lovely friend, that really wanted to punch you in the balls the first time we met." Axxiom said as Salemm came up, holding a malice and swing over to Morrin's crotch. He falls down to the ground, trying to catch his breath as he just writhes in pain. "Was the malice necessary, Salemm?"

"His existence pissed me off." Salemm just said as she just threw away the malice over to the side of the roof."

Morrin slowly got up, struggling a bit. "What the hell do you all want from me?!"

"It's actually what I want you to see, Morrin." Amorra said, pointing off into the city. "Your empire is done. YOU are done."

"You have to be joking. There's no way for you to take out all of my facilities." Morrin says until he heard an explosion. He looks off into the horizon as he sees black smoke coming from afar. Then another explosion, and another, and another went off. "You... you can't be serious..."

"All of them, Morrin. All over Alternia." Amorra says.

"It wasn't easy, but luckily I got territories all over Alternia." Axxiom added. "It all the facilities you owned are relieved of slaves, making them free, and are being disposed of."

Another explosion went off that was literally in front of the building they are across from. The blue blood slowly walked over to the edge, seeing the embers coming from the facility that was once there below. "I... I can't believe this..." He muttered to himself. "I have nothing..."

"You won't have anything anymore." Amorra stated, pulling out a pistol and pointing to the back of his head. "You're finally done, Morrin. It's all over."

"It appears so..." Morrin only said this as he just closed his eyes. Amorra pulled the trigger, the blue blood's body falling forward and dropped off of the roof.

Amorra, Axxiom, and Salemm stood where they were as Amorra finally walked away from the edge, going to the two mobsters. "Thank you guys..." She said, starting to tear up as Salemm just placed a hand on the teal blood's shoulder.

"It's done Amorra." Axxiom says.

"You're free now if you didn't felt like you were." Salemm added.

"I feel free now..." Amorra said. "I feel free..."

Validation

It has been some time since Hirana went to try and find the troll that she and Leanie were ordered to find for a reward. Coming back empty handed obviously made Leanie furious. More so than what she’s used to. Hirana stood in front of the mirror, looking at her reflection and wiped off the clown paint from her face with a cloth. “What if she’s right...?” Hirana said to herself, thinking of what the red blood had told her.

“Right about what?” The other began to speak through her. “What the fuck did you and that bitch talked about?”

“What if I’m being used... what if... Leanie doesn’t really see me as a friend? But as someone she can just use to do her dirty work...? Only because of you inside of me.”

“Look at me.” Hirana looked at her own reflection as she sees her cybernetic left eye glowing bright. “What do you believe?”

“I... I really don’t know what to believe...”

“Well, to me, I think she’s full of shit. We’re supposed to be hunting her, capturing her, and bringing her to that asshole. Didn’t it not come across that stupid fucking brain of yours that maybe she’s trying to mislead you so she can stay free and possibly plan to fucking kill us?!”

“She... she doesn’t seem like that kind of person to lie!”

“She’s lying to you. That red blood is just trying to get away from us so she just made you think.”

“I... I don’t know... I need to know for sure. I need to talk to Leanie...”

“You’d be wasting your damn time.” Hirana just closed her eyes, breathing in heavily and finally exhaling as she got out of the bathroom and out of her home, heading her way to meet Leanie. It might not be good to meet her now since she’s still mad, but Hirana needs to know, to put her mind at ease. Or to try and figure who she should trust.

Making her way to the Dark Carnival, she finds the tent that Leanie is always in and see her just sitting in the middle of the floor. She was ready to say something but paused, seeing Leanie raising her arm and a finger as she got up and turned around to face the indigo blood. “What the hell do you want?”

Hirana is hesitant. Perhaps she should just go back. No. She needs to know now. “Leanie... I need to ask you a question.”

“Make it quick then. I don’t have time to look at you after you didn’t bring the girl back to me.” Leanie says.

“Leanie... are you actually my friend... or are you just using me because of the other person inside of me...?” Hirana just closed her eyes, embracing for an answer. Anything, honestly.

There was silence between them. It was a heavy silence until she felt a hand on her shoulder as she opened her eyes, looking at Leanie. “Let me tell you something, Hirana. Sometimes we have to not look back on the past. We have to keep looking forward. To the future. Sometimes looking back on the past can reveal... ugly things. Sometimes a knock on the head can make you come to your senses on these things... and then make you brilliant.”

The whole thing sounded vague. It’s like a riddle to her until she tried to piece it together and suddenly remembered who injured her. “... You...? You... did this to me...?” Hirana said as she pointed to her left eye.

“You were on the verge of being a heretic. I did what I had to do. For the Dark Carnival and for the Messiahs. It was supposed to kill you, but when you had no memory of it, I knew I’d be free from any confrontation from you. I later learned that you were having trouble with another personality in you and I took that advantage to bring you on the right path and make you my personal weapon.” Leanie grinned as Hirana just slowly walked back, eyes widening from what she’s hearing.

“She was right... she was right...”

“Who was right? What are you talking about?” Leanie questioned. “Tell me right now.”

“No! I’m not going to say anything anymore to you!”

“You will do as I fucking say.” Hirana was about ready to leave until Leanie grabbed her by the hair and kicked the back of her legs, causing Hirana to fall to her knees. “Tell me. Right now.”

“Fuck you!”

Leanie rolled eyes in annoyance and brought the indigo’s blood head back and then plunges it down to the ground as she leaned down to her level. “Tell me. Or... let the other you tell me instead.”

“N-No way in hell! I’m n-n-not saying sh-shit!”

“Tell me or you are going to lose another eye, but I’ll make sure you remember it this time. I will make it slow and painful.”

“A fucking god damn it, just get over with it, you stupid bitch! It was that red blood chick you have us go after!” Hirana’s other personality suddenly talked.

“What?! WHAT?!” Furious, Leanie finally let go and then began to kick at Hirana. The indigo blood let out grunts of pain as she felt every impact on her. “I can’t fucking believe this. Get the hell away from me. And if you think you can just run away from me, I will hunt you down. You are nothing without me. Now get the fuck out of my sight.”

Hirana tried getting up, but couldn’t. She crawled out of the tent and cried. She was lied to all these sweeps. How could she have been so blind to not see it sooner? Finally gathering enough strength to get herself back up, she limped off from the Dark Carnival. “I... I can’t believe this... she... she lied to me... she made me who I am now... she wanted me dead from the start...”

“Well... that was a shit show... it also hurt like hell.” Her other personality stated. “So what the hell do we do now?”

“We can’t stay... I can’t stay... there’s no part of me being in the Dark Carnival... or with her... I don’t know what to do...”

“I regret not finding love”

Merlee, Amorra, and Luniin finally arrived at Morrin's new location. Standing fore them is practically another mansion but much more larger than the previous one. "I'm starting to believe this guy is compensating for something." Merlee says.

"Yeah... his ego." Amorra bluntly said. "So... what's the plan."

"I'm going to try and stall him. At least make him think I'm literally giving myself up while you and Luniin go and find Meryna and my ancestor. They're bound to somewhere in there."

"Well... can't you sense them or something? At least make it easier for me and Luniin?"

"You're right. I didn't think of that."

"First time for everything~" Luniin said with a chuckle a Merlee glared at her and she gestures a zip to her mouth.

Merlee closes her eyes, focusing as much as she can on Meryna's and Nimira's energy to try and figure out where they are. Everything is silent, still. Time slowing and darkness envelops as she focuses on finding the energies she is looking for. She then sees it. Two orbs of light and the outlining of where it is. Opening her eyes, she collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily as Amorra gets concerned. "Are you alright?"

Taking a second to recollect herself, she nods to her and stands back up. "They're in a holding cell. The back door is a great way for you two to get inside without being seen and once you're there, make a left turn until you find a wall. It's hidden in there and it'll take you downstairs to where they are."

"Holy crap... you saw all that?"

"Well... practically. Though it's difficult focusing on two life sources. I almost used up my energy. But I'll be okay. You two head around back."

Amorra and Luniin nodded and they left to do their jobs. Merlee is left alone as she slowly walks up to the front door, letting out a deep breath as she was ready to knock until she heard some rustling behind her. Turning around, she sees a troll trying to untangle herself from the roots she's caught in. She finally gets herself free as she waves over to Merlee. "Oh! Um... hello! I was... uh... lost! I was looking for some place to at least stay over for a bit." She says with a smile.

Merlee stood where she is, confused. "Um... well... I don't live here. Sorry."

"Really? Oh... that sucks. Um... my name is Celrna."

"Hello... Celrna?"

"So... what are you doing here?"

"Listen... I'm sorry that I can't help you, but I'm on important business... and it's something that you shouldn't be around when it happens, okay?"

"Oh... uh, okay! I'll be... I'll be on my merry way then! It was nice meeting you, miss!" The troll finally left, waving goodbye while Merlee stood there, confused by the sudden appearance of this troll. The red blood turns back to the door, instantly banging three time on it and steps back a bit to see it open on its own. She is greeted with a large, grand hall that leads up to steps and then three door ways. One in front of her and the others on the sides.

"You've got to be kidding me." Merlee whispered to herself as she looks around.

"Merlee Zodius!" A voice is echoed. A familiar and hated voice. Morrin walks into the grand hall with Kalios and Jalone by his sides. "I knew you changed your mind."

"Yeah... I did." Merlee plainly says.

"How's that bullet wound? I assured you that I tried killing you since you left me no choice, but I'm glad you made it through."

"Well, maybe you should work on your shitty aim if you were planning on killing me."

"Yes. Well, I am no sharp shooter, but I did try my best. Now, this isn't some trick? If you give yourself up, I will free the two that are related to you."

"Yes... I'm... I'm giving myself up to you. I don't want you to hurt the people that I care for... not my mate and neither those related to me. Please... let them go."

"Hmm... seems sincere." Morrin says as he takes a drag on his cigarette. "But... I can't say I believe you."

"... What?"

"No. I really don't believe you. I expected something like this might happen. You think you'd just waltz in here, give yourself up, I let your friends go, and then that's it? No. Oh no... that's too easy."

Merlee grits her teeth together, angry as she readies herself. "Let them fucking go!"

"I can't do that. But hey. You tried. I guess that means I'll be finishing them off." He was ready to walk off until he heard an explosion coming from within his mansion. Alarmed, he quickly turned around to face Merlee. "You... you aren't alone... are you?"

"You'll be surprised which one of the people I brought to help me out. Now it's just you and me. Your stupid lackies stay out of it."

"No... no. Not now. Maybe next time if you live. I have some people of my own that I hired to take you in... or kill you. Hopefully the first option. For now, we'll meet again when you finally do give in to me."

He walks away along with the two trolls following suit as Merlee yells for him. "Hey! Get back here! Come back and fucking face me!" She runs to the doorway that he disappeared in was quickly stopped by a scythe that landed in front of her. Stepping back, she looks to her right to see two subjuglators. Staying cautious, she stands still and waits for their move.

"Well, so you're the troll that rich guy has been talking about." One of them said. "You don't look all too mighty. But I will admit that you have fire with you~"

"Who are you two?" Merlee questioned.

"My name is Leanie Cruziv. My friend here is Hirana Niirio. Mister Rich hired us because he's desperate to having you and he would pay us quite highly if do the job."

"Do you really expect him to fulfill that promise?" Merlee says. "He's possibly using you two and then stab you both in the back."

"You don't think we don't know that?" Hirana says. "Of course we expect him to betray us, but that doesn't mean we'll let that slip. No. Once we're done with you, we're going after him next."

"In the name of Mirthful Messiahs." Leanie says. "Now shut up and die!"

Both pounced at Merlee's position as she jumps back as Leanie grabs her scythe and starts charging towards her with it. Merlee quickly dodges as Leanie swung on her right side and then rolls to being face-to-face with Hirana who grins at her as the indigo blood raises her cleaver. Startled by this, and feeling a burst of energy coming from her, she moves out of the way as she swung and missed.

Tired of trying to dodge and move, she starts being on the offensive as she casts a fire ball at them as they moved away, blowing up a chunk off of a wall. Leanie looks relentless as she continues to try and get close to Merlee, but the red blood keeps casting fire balls to keep them at bay while Hirana looks not all there. It always seems like she would look dangerous, but then hesitates the next, like there's a switch inside her that makes her want to attack or not.

Merlee continued to hold them off, waiting for Amorra and Luniin to come back with Meryna and The Exiled. The red blood is pushed back to the point she ends up against a pedestal and she looks back to see her scythe is being displayed behind a glass case. "That asshole." Using her elbow, she breaks it and grabs her scythe.

"Oh come on." Leanie mocks. "Do you even know how to use that?"

"Trust me." Merlee replied. "I spent my entire life practicing with this scythe a lot more than you have with yours. Plus, I'm strong enough to wield this." The red blood prepares for a swing, but was then hit in the abdomen from the blunt end of Hirana's cleaver. Merlee tried getting up, but heard a gunshot and instantly froze. The three of them stood still as all of them wondered where it came from and they all looked over at the doorway seeing Amorra pointing her handgun at Hirana and Leanie.

"It's over." The teal blood says as Luniin comes out of the door way with Meryna and The Exiled behind her. Merlee smiles, getting up and quickly walks over to their position as Hirana tries to get her, but was stopped as Amorra points her gun at the subjug. "I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Merlee quickly aids her relatives, looking over at the collars. around Meryna's and The Exiled's necks. "Are you guys okay?"

"Oh swell. Instead we got our asses handed to us and got these fucking things around our necks!" Meryna says angrily.

"Good to see you, too Meryna." Merlee says.

"Merlee." The Exiled spoke. "I have a favor to ask of you."

"Now's not the time, Nimira." The red blood said as she tries to pry open the collars with her hands but failing.

"Hirana. The one with the pig tails. I want you to help her."

"What?! Help her? She tried to kill me!" Merlee explained.

"She's being told to do that. Hirana has a second soul within her. That second soul gains control every so often, but Leanie is using that to her advantage. The more she does, the more dominant it becomes and the more Hirana drifts off from her actual body. She's nothing more than a pet than just Leanie's friend. Please. Help her. I sense good in her... I sense fear from her. From the things she's doing."

Thinking for a moment, Merlee let's out a sigh as she nods to her. "Fine. But I hope I'm not making a mistake." Turning around, she faces the two subjugs. "Listen up. We're leaving here. You two are not to follow us or Amorra, here, is going to shoot you if you do."

"Do you really fucking think we're going to let you walk out of here alive?!" Hirana yells. "You've got to be fucking joking"

"We are leaving!" Merlee yelled. As she was ready to make her way down the stairs, she hears footsteps coming from the middle doorway and all of a sudden a collar came flying and instantly wraps around Luniin's neck and a barrage of cards came flying and wrapped around Amorra's arms and legs, keeping her in place. Soon Morrin, Jalone and Kalios came out. "You son of a bitch!" Merlee charged towards Morrin, but was knocked back by one of his powers. She falls back to where Leanie and Hirana are as Hirana grabs the red blood, holding the cleaver over her neck.

"Isn't this a surprise?" Morrin says. "We have the whole blood line here! A big reunion." Walking over to Luniin, he looks her over and made a disgusted expression. "She looks like a slut. Didn't think there'd be one in the Zodius blood line." Luniin tried to attack him but he moved away and she falls flat on her face. "Also clumsy." He then walked over to Amorra who is restrained from Kalios' magic cards. "Amorra... it has been so long."

"Fuck off." The teal blood says.

"Come now! Where's your compassion? I made you who you are, you know?"

"You mean kidnapping me as a kid and made me into a fucking weapon?! That's all you want. Power! First me, then Merlee. What's next? Going treasure hunting for some powerful fucking relic that will make you untouchable?"

Morrin frowned, taking out his hand gun and swats it at her face. All Merlee could do is watch as the teal blood continues to get hit over and over until she finally remembered what her ancestor told her a couple of minutes ago. "Hirana..." She whispered.

"What the fuck do you want?!" The indigo blood whispered back.

"No... I want to talk to Hirana." Merlee says as the indigo blood was surprised by this and just ignored what she heard.

"I know that there's two of you in there. Trust me. I've known it since we fought. One second you would literally run towards me swinging like a manica, but the next you would look hesitant. I even felt it. An unbalance."

"What do you want with me?" Hirana finally answered.

"I'm pretty sure you've talked with my ancestor, right?"

"... Maybe."

"Well, she already told me what's going on but maybe you don't know."

"Like what?"

"Leanie is using you."

For a minute, Hirana thinks it over and denies it. "Shut up. You just want a way out of this."

Letting out a sigh, Merlee shook her head. "Well, I tried." Instantly, she casts a bright flash of light as she reels her head back to but against Hirana, getting out of her grip and quickly running to get to her friends. She only falls short as she manages to hover Amorra, Luniin, and Meryna away. When the bright lash of light dimmed, she is met with Morrin standing next to the right side of her ancestor with a gun pointing at her head. "Let her go!" Merlee yelled.

Morrin looks at Merlee and then at The Exiled. "Does this seem familiar to you... Nimira?"

"Not that I recall." She answered. "You and your ancestor merely just took me and locked me in a cage and then sold me to a warlord."

"Yes... the biggest mistake my ancestor made when I told him how powerful you were." Morrin swats his gun on the back of her head as she collapsed to the ground, trying to get up, but only got on to her knees.

"Stop! Leave her alone! Don't you fucking dare hurt her!" Merlee furiously yelled.

"No... I won't hurt her." Morrin says. "Despite her being the greatest mage, Merlee is beyond that and even she doesn't know that. So..." Looking at The Exiled, he points his gun directly on her head. "I'll just kill her so I can wipe away the memory of my ancestor. The mistake he made. Anything you want to say, Nimira?"

"Yes..." The Exiled said. "Merlee... do you remember my regrets?"

"... No. No. No! Don't you fucking say that right now! Don't you dare hurt her!" Merlee casted a fireball at Morrin and he shielded himself with his right hand. She gets up and swings her scythe at him, but she only gets pushed from him. "God... damn it! Let her go!"

"Merlee... do you remember my regrets?"

Panting, Merlee started to tear up as she picks herself back up. "You... regretted not finding the one person to fall in love with."

"... Thank you." The Exiled says, smiling as she closed her eyes. Merlee was about ready to make her next move but was too late. The gunshot rang out. Everything suddenly stopped as Merlee sees the smoke coming from Morrin's gun and then seeing her ancestor becoming still for one second and then falling forward to the ground. Broken. Merlee felt her heart break apart. Then anger. Everything is silent around her. She can see Morrin's lips moving, but doesn't hear what he's saying.

She hears Parasaiya's voice, telling her to not do anything rash. She doesn't listen. The room began to be consumed by a dark mist as everyone around her are wondering what is going on and are becoming concerned by this. Merlee is still, frozen, filled with anger as her eyes began to darken and the whole room start to shake. Finally, she then hears a scream as she leaps towards Morrin but gets stopped by Leanie and Hirana that blocks her way.

"Hirana! Stop her!" Leanie yelled.

"But... look at her! She's-"

"Do it! Now!"

"Just fucking do it, you pu- SHUT UP! I will!" Hirana tried to swing her cleaver at Merlee, but she stops it mid-swing by the blade with her hand. "What?!"

"Attack her!" Leanie yelled once more.

"But... she's...-

"Attack! Her! She's not invincible!"

Hesitant, Hirana jerks her cleaver away from Merlee and swung again, but the red blood grabs it by the blade with her hand again, bleeding from it as the cleaver began to crack and then breaking apart, leaving a shock wave that knocked Hirana back. Leanie tried to attack Merlee, but she was instantly swatted from the red blood's hand flew back against the wall, getting knocked out. Merlee then looks at Morrin who was ready to block anything that she might throw at him. The red blood leaped over to him and then darkness.

It felt like forever. An eternity. Merlee finally opened her eyes to seeing the sky in front of her. Was it all a dream? Realizing that she's outside. She jerks herself up and sees Amorra, Luniin, and Meryna all around her. "Hey! Easy, easy." Amorra says.

"What happened? Where's Morrin? Did we kill him? Did we get him?" Merlee questioned them.

"We... didn't get him." Amorra sadly says.

"What? H-How?"

"You tried to get to him, going completely mental, but he eventually pushed you back and tried to shoot at you." Parasaiya suddenly spoke as he makes himself appear as a shadow figure. "I was trying to tell you to stop, but you didn't listen to me."

"Oh..." Merlee looked around and notices that someone else is missing. "Wait... where's Nimira? Where's my ancestor?"

Everyone was silent. Luniin was about to say something but quickly refrained from doing so, not wanting to make it worse. Merlee remembered what had happened, realizing that what she saw wasn't a dream. "No... no... she can't be..." The red blood began to tear up, sobbing as she didn't want to believe it. "God damn it! God fucking damn it!"

"I'm sorry, Merlee..." Amorra says. "We did get er body, but... there's nothing we can do."

"God... damn it! She went through hell! All her life she just wanted peace, but she could never have it! She didn't fucking deserve this!" Merlee screamed. "I'm going to find Morrin. And I'm going to fucking tear him apart! I'm going to bring him back from the dead and kill him over and over and over again until he begs to be put in the fucking ground where he belongs! DO YOU HEAR ME MORRIN! I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU! I'M GOING KILL YOU IN EVERY FUCKING WAY POSSIBLE! YOU HEAR ME MORR-"

Merlee is instantly knocked out from Meryna, hitting her in the back of the head. "That should shut her up." She says, grabbing Merlee and placing her arm over her shoulder. "Listen uh..."

"Amorra." The teal blood responded.

"Amorra... thanks for helping out. I'll be sure to let Merlee know that once she's chill."

"No problem... sorry about-"

"It's okay." Meryna said. "I... I think Nimira knew about it anyway."

In captivity

It has been a couple of days since their capture and Meryna is growing more violent than ever as she's screaming and kicking at the metal bars. "You fuckers!" She yelled across the hall. "Wait until I figure out how to get this shitty collar off and I'll implode you from the inside out!"

"Meryna... it's pointless." The Exiled says as she's sitting in a meditative position.

Meryna looks at her, confused but distraught by how calm she is in the situation she's in. "How?! How the hell are you chill?! We're in a fucking cell!"

"This isn't my first time being in one." She merely says and then it finally donned on Meryna what she meant and finally kept quiet about it. "Merlee will come for us or we can try to come up with some sort of plan to escape."

"Well, what plan are we gonna come up with when we got these fucking collars on that negates our magic?"

"Have patience." She says as Meryna groans in frustration. Soon a door is heard open and two subjugs came in.

"Oh great." Meryna sarcastically says. "Who brought the circus in town?"

"I wouldn't talk so rudely to us if you know what's good for you~" One of them says and then spoke something in a different language that Meryna couldn't understand.

"What the hell did you say?"

"None of your concern, rusty. I'll be leaving Hirana here to watch over you two. Play nice now~" The subjug let out a giggle and left, leaving the other subjug with the two red bloods. She stood still for a moment and finally leans against a wall, looking down at the ground. Meryna is confused by this, expecting her to say something or make some threat.

"Hey, what's your deal? Aren't you baddies supposed to mock a victim that's being held prisoner or some crap like that? Like in the movies?" Meryna says.

"Just shut up. No one gave you permission to talk." Hirana says in a polite tone.

"I'm just saying! I should expect some sort of-"

"She says shut the fuck up you waste of garbage!" Hirana says in a louder, high pitched tone as her left cybernetic eye glows brightly purple. "You're lucky I don't just rip you apart limb from limb and shove them down your damn throat to shut you the fuck up!"

"Jeez... that was a big change in attitude." Meryna finally backs off but The Exiled got intrigued by this, getting up and taking a look for herself of who this person is.

Despite not being able to use her magic, she can still sense things and she can sense a duality of sorts within the troll. "What do you mean she?" The Exiled questioned. "Your friend that just left?"

Hirana was surprised by this question, trying to think of an excuse. "Uh... of course! I meant her."

"She never said that. That's something I don't quite understand."

"What the hell are you? A detective?"

"No. Not really. You already know what I am, but I don't think you understand the lengths of what I can really do."

"What... what do you mean?" Hirana then covered her mouth, whispering something to herself as her left eye glowed once more.

"Throughout my sweeps I have trained myself to feel and sense everything around me. Whether it be a life source or a powerful energy from an object. Everything emits some sort of energy, traveling through the wind, the ground that we stand on. You... are Hirana, correct?"

Confused by this, Hirana plays along with the red blood's little game and responded. "Yes. That's my name. Hirana Niirio."

"Who's the other in the room with us?"

"What... I don't follow?"

"Let me rephrase it. Who's the other in the room... within you?"

Shocked by this, the indigo blood looked away as she tries to think of something. "I don't know what the hell you're talking about."

"But I think you do. I sense four souls. Mine, Meryna's, and yours. But there's another. The fourth one is within you."

"I... I-I-I..." She stuttered but instantly changed her tune. "Ah fuck it. She found us out. The gig is up and you fucking blew it!"

"I was correct. The change in tone and attitude. Not to mention your left eye giving it away. It seems to always glow much more brighter when the other presents itself."

"Con-fucking-grats!" The indigo blood slowly clapped sarcastically. "Woop-dee-fucking-doo! You want a freakin medal or something?"

"I wish to speak to Hirana, now. I just wanted to be right."

"Oh I'm so sorry! Am I too unimportant for you? You just wanted to be fucking right that there's two of us? That I'm fucking stuck in this bitches body?! You're too mighty for- STOP! AH! Stop it! Stop it now! You're done talking!" She suddenly talked to her self again, wrapping her arms around herself as she tries to calm herself. "Why... why did you have to persist?"

"I'm sorry... I just-"

"I have been living like this since the accident! The same one that took my left eye! Ever since then I have been trying my best to be in control, but whatever is living inside me is trying its best to dominate me and take over... I always feel like I'm gonna lose myself... never coming back mentally or whatever it may be..."

"Have you seek help to get rid of it? Or at least find some answers to your situation?" The Exiled said.

"No... I've just been afraid." Hirana says. "People might think I'm crazy. And a lot of people don't like subjuglators and they all think we're crazy enough anyway. But... Leanie has been helping me. Making it useful. She treats me well and understands the situation that I'm going through."

"Leanie? The one that left a while ago?"

"Yes. Leanie Cruziv. We met each other when I was seeking help with the problem and she said that it's not a problem that can be useful if done right. And so I did. We both has been together since and me being around her have sort of helped satisfy the other's needs... but I don't know why... I feel like it's getting stronger."

"Hmm... I understand the situation." The Exiled merely says. "But... I think you need to understand it yourself. Or see it in another direction."

"What do you mean by that?"

"When a scientist wants something to be done right, they experiment with things. Trying different variables and equations until they realized that there's something that's preventing it. One thing that could literally be the answer. So they use up enough of it that they make their new solution."

"What? What... I don't?"

"You'll figure it out in time. Or someone will tell you bluntly. Possibly the latter." The Exiled says as she walks back to sit at her corner. "In due time. Fate works in mysterious ways..."

Confused by this, Hirana stayed quiet as Meryna listened to the whole conversation and walked over to The Exiled, curious by what she meant. "Hey..." She whispered. "So... care to explain?"

The Exiled looks at the ground, letting out a sigh and answered. "The other indigo blood is using her. Letting the other soul to be more dominant... and she would then have an obedient troll."

Two sides of every coin

Hirana Niirio. A girl full of mystery, but even with all that mystery, she made herself known under the Dark Carnival along with her partner-in-crime, Leanie. Most people would know how she really was. At least those within the Dark Carnival would know and no other troll, under any caste, would be brave enough to even go to it and ask about what Hirana was like before the accident.

Not many know what kind of accident she was in. Some have made up stories on how she lost her eye and some of them are hard to believe. But everyone knows about her split personality ever since she got the cybernetic eye. Her actions became clear and, overall, fanatic. Possibly why Leanie is always around to keep her on the right track, at least the dominant, violent side of Hirana, that is. When Leanie is not around, making decisions becomes difficult and Hirana ends up arguing with herself.

"M-M-Maybe we should wait... Leanie could come back at any second." Hirana said to her other personality.

"Wait?!" Her tone changed as her cybernetic eye glow brighter as she changed her position as if she was speaking to someone next to her. "If we wait, I'll be getting angsty and bored as fuck and you know how I am when I get bored. You fucking remember the room we were in and I trashed the shithole to an even more shithole!"

"I... I-I remember..." Her tone changed again as the kinder side got into the same position the violent side was in, but in the opposite direction. "But... I think it's best if we can wait. We still haven't found out where-"

"Of course we don't know where the hell this magical red blood girl is! You don't think I don't fucking know that?! Fucking shit! Like speaking to a dead cat!"

"I just..."

"What? You just what? You were just saying? Is that what you were gonna fucking say? Huh? Is that what you were gonna fucking say?!"

Her demeanor changed as the kinder side just stood where she is, silent. Hirana wondered how she got herself into this. Then she remembered the accident. Her life changing when her eye was replaced and somehow, another personality awoken. There's times she wants to rip her cybernetic eye, but she knows the violent side will stop her. She tried once before. It didn't end very well.

Everything about her life before has become a blur to her. She doesn't know what she like back then before this happened. Now, she's the scared one while her other personality is violent, unpredictable, and has a bad temper. She's afraid of herself. This other thing inside her head. The only person that is able to keep her in check is Leanie and, to this day, Hirana still wonders why both of them became friends. Even her other half wonders. It's the one thing that they both can agree on.

After a second of silence, they hear the door opening and a familiar voice calling out to them. "Hirana! I'm back~" Leanie said in the distance as she walked down the main hall and towards the room Hirana is in. "Miss me?"

"Leanie! You finally came..." Hirana said with a smile and soon that smile changed quickly as the other half gained control and ran up to Leanie, grabbing her by the shoulders and shaking her. "Where the fuck have you been?! Do you have any fucking idea how restless I was?! I was ready to scratch the fucking walls until I had no nails left!"

"Calm down, Hira. Please take a seat on the bed." She instructed as Hirana did so. "I did my research and I finally got the location of that red blood we were given the task to bring... but... I decided to not care about the big reqard of bringing her alive and, instead, kill that bitch."

"Yes! Fucking finally!" Hirana grins and changed as the other side came back in control. "K-Kill...? But the big reward...? I mean... it'd be enough for the both of-"

"He's not going to give us any reward. Whether we kill her or bring her alive to him." Leanie said with a stern look on her face. "I can see what type of troll he is and he's not the one that will hold his promises. That blue blood is a greedy, snob asshat that just wants the red blood for his own gains and nothing more. He's using us as pawns."

"So... if we were to bring her alive to him... we'd get nothing in return...?" Hirana looks down at the ground, upset and her demeanor changed as she got off the bed she was sitting in and slams her fist against the wall, making a hole as she screams. "That motherfucker! That greedy motherfucker! We're gonna get him when we're done with the girl, right?"

"Exactly the plan, Hira~ Now, I'm going to head out. You have fun within that little head of yours~" Leanie laughed at her own joke as she left Hirana alone.

The kinder side took control as she thought over what was said to her. Kill? Hirana thought this would be the one thing that she hoped wouldn't involve to kill someone. Guess she was wrong when Leanie is involved to strategize. She can't rely on her own because of her violent side. Without Leanie, her violent side would be unstable and she can't be dominant on her own if the violent personality is always the one being the most controlled.

She needs help. Hirana can't do this anymore. But she thinks no one would be able to help her.

Phase 1

Plans are now moving swiftly. As Morrin's previous hive mansion is under the process of being torn apart, along with disposing all information he has written over the sweeps, he is now ready to start the hunt for the red blood and her mate. Hopefull, there will be no other strangers that will interrupt and put a pause to the mission. The incident with three trolls infiltrating his party put a huge damper on things.

But one cannot start a witch hunt without hiring a few bounty hunters that are willing to do the job for him. After the failures of his two associates not being able to retrieve the red blood sorceress, it left him with no other option but hire those that are capable of completing the task that both Kalios and Jalone could not possibly do.

It seems that word has gone out for bounty hunters ready for hire and he is able to meet the three that will do his dirty work. Walking down the grand hall of his new mansion, he is confronted with two trolls who seem to be subjugs. Not what he expected, especially one talking to themselves, though he is wondering where the third is at. "Welcome, you two. I believe you both know why you are here now, are you?" Morrin said with a grin. "I would love to get acquainted with both of you, but there's a person you both need to bring me. So let's cut-"

Morrin was soon interrupted as the one subjug quickly turned to look at him and blinked towards him, holding him by the neck. "Ooh! So you're the fucking guy that brought us?!" The troll said with a crazy look in her eyes. Or at least 'eye' considering her left eye is cybernetic and glowing brightly. "No, stop... we should let him continue to talk." She said, but her voice becoming softer and having concern behind it, but not only that, her cybernetic eye dimmed. "What the hell are you talking about?! This little blue berry, puff shit is yapping and I spent a fucking hour waiting for rich boy, over here, to come tell us to go lost and fucking found for a single troll!" And like that, her voice changed and the eye glowed brightly again. He's beginning to think that there are two personalities.

"I-If you just let me continue to finish... what I'm saying... I'll tell you that it will be worth your w-while!" He said, trying to gasp for air. He doesn't know how the troll is still able to keep a firm grip while "switching" from one to another. It seemed like an eternity, but the troll finally contemplated and released him. Gasping for air, he rubbed his neck and patted down his suit to make himself formal once more after that mishap.

"My apologies for Hirana." The other subjug said as Hirana walked over to stand next to her. "She is very... how do you say... impatient~ Also, my name is Leanie Cruziv. Pleasure to meet you."

"Well... she's impatient." Hirana said with her soft, sweet voice. "I'm very much more patient than she is, but it's something I have to deal with."

"Yes, and it's fucking agonizing and disgusting to deal with!" And like that, her voice changed, along with her demeanor.

"I see" Morrin added. "Anyways... as I was saying, I can make this hunt worth your while. I am willing to pay you a high amount and give you whatever you want. Whatever you wish, I shall make it come true!"

"I demand ten million caegers for both of us." Hirana said in her other, aggressive tone.

"T-Ten million?!" Gasping, he didn't expect for such a high amount. "For both of you?!"

"You should take her offer." Leanie said with a smile on her face. "She likes raising the stakes and getting what she wants... because we always get what we want. Now, tell us what we need to get and why we both should care."

It seems both are willing to cut to the chase. "Alright, you need to know this that the person your after is a red blood, female troll and a bronze blood, female troll. Though... I must warn both of you that they're not merely 'normal' trolls. these both possess magic that are beyond your comprehension. And the red blood is the most powerful one I have seen. Much powerful than her ancestor, The Exiled."

"And what of the caramel blood." Hirana said.

"A druid, but a well trained one. My associates learned first hand of her powers and she is needed to die. The red blood, however, I want her either alive or dead." He said, smiling. "And if you do bring her back alive, then I'm willing to give you... a hundred million caegers."

"Well, shit." Hirana said. "I'm sold."

"So am I." Leanie added.

"Good." Morrin grinned. His plans will finally be in motion. "The red blood's name is Merlee Zodius and the bronze blood's name is Rowyna Cervid. Kill the other and be sure to bring the red blood to me. Dead... or alive."

Hirana giggled manically and nodded, skipping out the door as Leanie followed suit. Morrin took out a cigarette, lighting a small fire with his right thumb and lit it, smoking it as he grins with this new plan that cannot fail. Soon he will have the energy of the one he's been hunting to increase his life span, surpassing his previous and becoming immortal and rule the planet with his new designs of cyborgs and androids. It would be enough to compete against the drones of her highness themselves.

As he was about to walk out of the grand hall, he catches troll leaning against a pillar. He guesses she's the third troll that must've shown. "How long have you been there?" He questioned.

"Long enough to hear what I needed to hear." She said, looking at him with neon orange eyes. She's a mutant. He can tell. He wondered why she's here and wondered why she gained the courage to face a high blood.

"For a mutant, you have guts to come confront a high blood like me." Morrin said. "Don't tell me you're here about the contract."

"I am." She answered. "The name's Galina Dracor. Now let's make this clear, alright? I'm not here for the money. You said you can give the troll anything if they bring you the girl you need alive or dead, isn't that right?"

"Yes. I did promise that."

"Then I want my curse to be lifted."

"Curse?" Morrin is puzzled by this question. "What curse do you have?"

"Long ago, I was picked on by asshole trolls for so long that they finally took advantage of me. They demanded a sacrifice of a body part." Galina said, taking off her right sleeve and revealed her robotic hand. "They took my arm and in return left me with a curse. I have been plagued of facing creatures that only I can see. Only me. No one else. No one can see them and these creatures only target me. For sweeps, I have been dealing with this shit and I want it gone. I want this curse to be lifted so I can continue on with my life."

"So... what do you expect me to do?" Morrin is confused. What does this girl expect from him? Find the ones that put a curse on her and have them lift it? He could just lie and say he'll accept her deal.

"I want you find whatever will lift my curse." She demanded, as predictable as he thought.

"Fine." He quickly answered with a grin on his face, taking out the cigarette from his mouth and blew out some smoke. "You got yourself a deal."

Galina began to walk out to the front door, but stopped right beside Morrin and pulled out her saw-like weapon, raising it right by his neck, the teeth of the weapon just mere inches to touching his flesh. "If you do not fulfill your end of our bargain if I bring the girl" She threatened, "I will fucking hunt you down instead." Pulling the weapon away from him, she lets it rest on her shoulder and walked away.

Her threats doesn't scare him. In the end, he always gets what he wants his own way. And having three trolls doing his bidding is one of them.
