The femalw went over to where her twin was observing the dragon, Kaylum. "I really thought they would have been, though he is just a prince, he probably just gets pampered and has so many guards he doesn't have need for self defense of any kind, though that seems kinda stupid."
Aragon watched and listened as they talked and looked down at Kaylum, before hearing Luciens comment.
"well then it did us the favor of having to deal him in, bring him inside just in case, i have a feeling he may just have passed out."
The female grumbles mocking Aragon "bring him inside take out the psychic prince for me meh meh meh meh" she moved to lift Kaylu
The male, Lucian, chuckled. "Yeah. Spoiled brat. Since he's a prince, it's no wonder."
He shifted into dragon form again and lifted one end of Kaylum's body onto his back. He motioned for his sister to do the same before moving Kay inside the cave.
Meanwhile, Kay's soul floated about, pondering over their words. "Deal him in," Aragon had said. Did they plan to kill him eventually? He wouldn't be surprised. And considering the state he was in now, it would be wise to not underestimate a hybrid and two electric dragons. Perhaps he could wait till he had recovered from the electric shock, find out why Aragon wanted to kill him so bad, then get out of there and use that information accordingly. Yes, that could work, and the plan had room for tweaking. For now, he just had to wait.
Kay drifted into the cave, hovering over his body.
Luca moved to transform into her dragon form and drag the princes dead weight body inside, once sucsessfully inside she dropped him hard, moving immediately to roll out her arms and shoulder blade, moving to head for a more comfortable area to stay in, after grabbing some food.
"There he is, I hope you enjoy your little date with his majesty."
She spoke taking a bite of the food she had grabbed.
He glared at her, "it's not a date, Luca, I'm going to kill the prince. Why would I date someone I want to kill? Now shoo. I don't want you hear when I do it." He grumbled, she huffed and got up moving to a different part with her food.
Once they brought the prince inside and set him down, Lucian also shifted to human form and grabbed some of the goat meat from yesterday's hunt. He let out a laugh at his sister's words.
"Ah yes, give him the kiss of death for us, will you?" he smirked. He followed Luca to the other room, saying, "Wow Lucy, I didn't know you could tell a joke."
Meanwhile, Kaylum hovered over his body, unsure whether he should go back in yet. He couldn't astral project for too long, otherwise he could become separated from his body forever, essentially dying. But going back in his body meant dealing with the full force of the physical pain. So, he stayed hovering over his body for a little longer. If Aragon drew a knife or something, Kay could give him a little surprise. He chuckled at the thought.
From this perspective, he could see Aragon's soul glimmering within him. It was very dim, but shone bloody crimson. It suited him, but then again, the soul always suited the body. What made it so dim, though? Looking down, Kay saw his own soul shining, dimmer than what is healthy, but at least brighter than the hybrid's. Of course, all that anger and need for revenge could not be a sign of a healthy soul, but where did it come from? Kay was suddenly curious.
He did indeed pull out a knife, it was a curved blade attached to a guilded hilt, he spun it in his hands before moving towards Kay's throat, and placing it underneath it. He leaned down to whisper,
"I know your not dead, you best come out and show yourself."
Luca rolled his eyes at Lucians comment, "Yes I am capable of making jokes, big surprise." She moved to continue to eat her food as she watched her twin brother come and sit down next to her.
Man, this hybrid just seemed so intent on sucking the fun out of everything. Kaylum returned to his body and opened his eyes. He first used telekinesis to move the knife away from his throat, then shifted to human form. An aching pain hit him, and he groaned. “Hold on, hold on, give me a second.”
He took deep rhythmic breaths, and soon the worst of the pain had passed, though it seemed all of his muscles had given up on him. He relaxed, though not completely, as he kept an eye on the knife. “So, you’re gonna kill me, right? Well, if I’m going to die, I would like to know why first.”
"I knew it." He muttered underneath his breath, he felt the knife being pushed away and then saw as kaylum transformed into his human form and his gaze seemed to harden even more as he stared at him. He moved the knife away as he stared down the prince,
"Why should I give you that knowledge? You won't be alive to do anything with it."
He spoked, staring him down. *he's stalling.."
Kaylum tilted his head. "Hybrid, you tricked me and my friend into believing you were injured, you held my friend hostage, and used that to force me into following you here. And I have no idea why. I don't even know who you are. All you've said so far was yapper on and on about my uncle and some mistress of his. What do his actions have to do with this hatred of me? What have I done? I refuse to die until I understand what the heck is going on."
"You want to know so badly?" He glares him down, "I'm making your dad feel the same pain that I felt when I had to watch my mother die Infront of me as a child." He growled at him, moving towards him and backing him against the wall.
"that mistress of your uncle's was my mother's, and she was executed for having a cross breed dragon child. She had an affair with another man that wasn't your uncle and I was born."
He spit his words with venom, "That good enough for you?"
He let out a small gasp as he was backed against the wall, but he wasn’t afraid. Kaylum furrowed his brow, processing this information. Was this what the missing part of the record detailed? Did the former King Hansel really die from an illness? Was it possible he was still alive?
“Funny, my dad isn’t here to see me die,” he remarked. “So I’m sure he’s feeling little to no pain right now.”
Then he pursed his lips. “Ehh, I still have questions, but I doubt that you can answer them. Sorry that happened to you, by the way.”
"Oh I wouldn't worry about him feeling no pain, once your nothing but a corpse I'll send you right back to the castle, and then he will gaze upon his son's corpse and let out a pained cry, realizing your gone and never coming back." He moved to press the blade to kaylums throat getting closer as he spoke to him, venom always present, always dripping at the edges of his voice.
He glared kaylum down, he was hurt and he was angry, he wanted revenge but deep somewhere in him was a great amount of sadness, grief and loss.
"you know what? Fine, I'll grant you two questions before you die. Think of it as a parting gift." He moved back from where kaylum was, holding the knife.
"Do you always have to be this dramatic?" Kay once again used telekinesis to keep the blade a good distance away from his throat. "Ah dragon's tooth, that was a question. Well, hey, I got one left." He smirked. "Do you know what happened to my uncle after his little affair was discovered?"
"After I learned what had happened to my mother, I trained for months learning the best ways to kill a man, I figured out where he had gone after his exile and killed him. Then realizing he wasn't the one that did it, I prepared for years for kidnapping and killing you, so I could get back your dad." He gritted his teeth.
( @imNOTdenki lol he was in exile so he wouldn’t be in the palace)
The smirk fell. He didn’t ask about the hybrid’s mother. As he listened, his brow raised. “So he was exiled? Oh, but then you killed him. Okay.”
He honestly didn’t know how to feel about that. His uncle had never been close with him, and he’d disappeared when Kay was pretty young. But he had also been hoping he was alive, and his killer was right in front of him, desperate to kill him now.
“Damn, years? You care that much about me?” The smirk came back.
He slapped Kaylum hard across the face, open palm slap.
He glared down at him, his eyes almost glowing.
"Not even close, you've run out of questions."
The bones began to grow along his person outlining his figure as they shaped around his body, his face and his arms. He had bones extend from his wrists like claws.
"any last words Prince?'
He turned back towards him, moving closer to him to pin him to the the ground.
Well, the slap was certainly unexpected. As the prince, Kay had never been struck before. He cried out, pressing a hand to his cheek. He watched the bones grow on top of Aragon’s skin like armor, the smirk effectively wiped from his expression.
"Not in particular," he said, and teleported to the other room where those electric twins were sitting. The action of teleporting worsened his aching body, and he had to lean against the wall before looking back into the room he just teleported out of.
Luca was currently stuffing a sandwich into her mouth when he teleported into the room and she let out a groan and was immediately up and ready for him, she had electricity jumping along her body.
"we always have to clean up his messes." She groaned as she moved to charge at kaylum and throw a fist at his face super charged with lightning.
Aragon let out a yell of frustration as he went to where the twins were not expecting to see kaylum in that very room.
Lucian stayed sitting, assuming that his sister could handle it without him. He chewed on his mutton, enjoying the show.
“Nah, this one’s just a slippery fish,” he remarked.
Kaylum looked back to the sound of sparking electricity and panicked when he saw Luca charging toward him. Teleporting here was a bad idea. He dodged the girl’s attack and teleported onto the table that was in the room, where the twins had been sitting. Before Kay could react, Lucian poked his leg, sending an arc of electricity through him. He collapsed, falling painfully onto the floor, bumping into the table and chairs along the way.
“Slippery fish ain’t so slippery anymore,” Lucian smirked.
Aragon watched as the twins dealt with him, and then watched as he fell.
"we need get rid of that stupid teleportation." He growled slightly as he walked over to kaylum, moving to grab him by the throat.
"what? Why? Can't you just kill him now? Why go through all the issues?"
She put a hand on her hip, with a huff. She stared Aragon down, they had a bit of a stare down for a bit.
"I will." He continues to hold him by the throat making sure kaylum passed out from his tight grip. He then moved to leave into the next room.
Luca commented "Weak" as he left the room.
Kaylum struggled when the hybrid grabbed him, but he was so weak that it didn’t last long. His senses started to fade. His vision blurred, and the sounds of the others’ voices became harder to distinguish from the ringing in his ears the longer Aragon held onto his throat. At last the world darkened, and Kay’s body went limp.
He kept moving away from the twins, to the other side of his den shitting the door behind him and dropping kaylum on the floor, he was searching for something to neutralize his teleportation.
He grabbed a small vial and moved to open kaylums mouth and pour it in, making sure he swallowed it before putting the vial away.
Why can't I just kill him and be done with it? He groaned, rubbing his face. Luca might be right about one thing, he was weak for a reason he didn't know. He had been training for so long to finally execute his plan but now when the time came, he couldn't bring himself to do it for whatever reason.
I just want to give him a fair fight, that's all
He rolled his eyes, that was hardly a reason at all, with the teleportation suppressant. He decided to hide in the shadows, see what Kay would do when he woke up.
Kaylum stayed unconscious for quite a while, probably thirty minutes or so. He woke up with a pained gasp, his muscles throbbing and his chest aching. The pain kicked in immediately, a kind of pain a prince like him certainly wasn't used to.
He had been so stupid, hadn't he? His father and mother had warned him about situations like this, that at one point or another, someone would wish harm upon him. It is not that he had never listened, but he wanted freedom and adventure too. He had been shut away for so long, how could he properly prepare himself for situations like this? He was going to die now. He knew it in his mind, but he could not really understand that for what it was. He was so young…
He had not spotted Aragon hiding just out of the corner of his vision. It was too painful to move, but he thought that hybrid would show up to finish him off soon.
Aragon stood in the dark for about thirty minutes, and honestly had been laying down and staring at kaylum until he stirred and he moved back into the shadows watching him. He just stood there watching him, was he really just going to give up on life?
That was just pathetic and kinda sad.
He stood there and watched him waiting for something new to happen.
Soon enough, Kaylum caught sight of the hybrid. “Oh, you’re here,” he rasped. “Are you going to kill me now? If you are, make it quick and painless. I’m already in enough pain.”
He coughed, his lungs burning with the effort. He wanted to teleport away, but that would weaken him even more. It would not be smart to use his powers now.
After some deliberation, he decided to shift to dragon form. If Aragon tried to stab him, his thick skin and scales would be difficult to penetrate. Plus, he had claws and teeth this way. Maybe there was some hope here. At least for a little while. Kay concentrated on taking deep, rhythmic breaths.
