CRONUS- How dare they… *pacing around my throne room* That was my hiding place for Sienna and the other three demon-possessed warriors… *growls* My Realm of Blood and Shadows! All the lords are there ..all *evil laugh* All except Torin the untouchable keeper of #Disease! Now this I can turn to my favour . *calling Torin to me using my god powers*
TORIN- I never quite understood the term ‘So quiet it’s deafening’ But I understand it now, with my fellow Lords in the Realm of Blood and Shadows, the walls of the Fortress echo with each footstep I take. The quiet so all encompassing that it actually makes my ears yearn to hear to constant bickering of my brothers. I just couldn’t in good conscious, risk Lucien’s safety by allowing him to touch me and take me with them all, so here I am, pacing the empty rooms. In one breath I am entering the Kitchen and the next I am not. I palm my blades, black browns drawn into a deep scowl as I turn looking for my enemy. I quickly take in my surroundings…a field of ambrosia, and instantly have the layout memorized for all escape routes. Spotting the Titan King, I nod in his direction. Not knowing his reasons for pulling me from the Fortress, I keep possession of my knives. “Cronus”
CRONUS- *looking at you knowing my biggest mistake was my leniency, letting the Lords issue commands and openly refuse mine. I should never have tried to connect with them, I should have demonstrated my strength from the very beginning and shown them all the consequences of defying me*
TORIN- “You rang, oh mighty one” It still amazes me that he looks younger each time he invades my privacy. It’s like a surreal case of Benjamin Buttons.
CRONUS- Walk with me *moving forward not waiting for your answer but demanding compliance, walking out into the field of ambrosia with their violet petals glistening*
TORIN- Grinding my molars at his command to follow him like a trained lap dog, I momentarily think of taking off a glove and clapping ole Cronnie on the back in a show of friendship. Instead, I sheath my knives at my side and clasp my hands together firmly behind my back. “So…what’s up?”
CRONUS-*growls at your impudent tone but letting it slide* I have a new task for you!
TORIN- I groan slightly and before I can hold my tongue I reply, “You and your tasks. Who do you want us to torture and kill now?” Grinding my molars again until they hurt. “I so enjoy these little tasks of yours you know, so you can imagine how delighted I am to hear yet another one.”
CRONUS-*growling* TONE! *Breathing deep…I must stay calm* And you will lose your tongue if you use it again! *your silence was answer enough* Today I am going to give you a gift #Disease. A great treasure even despite your offensive attitude!
TORIN- I raise a black brow when you snap out your displeasure of me and after a few more witty remarks on my part, I decide to stay quiet or lose my tongue. From what I hear, regeneration is a real bitch.
CRONUS - *I smile down at the Lord when he finally complies with my wishes*
TORIN- Unable to keep from rolling my eyes in my skull, my curiosity getting the better of me. “Okay, I’ll bite. What’s this gift?” The thing with the Gods is, they are not known for being overly charitable and in my long history with them I have come to know that no gift from one of them is free. It always comes with a price.
CRONUS- My….. *deep breath* All-Key
TORIN- Rocking to the balls of my feet I ponder a bit. “Great, but I have no flippin’ clue what that is.”
CRONUS- *Of course not. Only four people know about the All-Key. I murdered everyone else who knew about it. The four that are still alive, Tartarus, Anya, Lucien and Reyes, who of course only live as I still have use for them* The key unlocks everything… doors, prisons and any curse! The holder can never be bound! And if someone tries to take it away from the holder they die! But as you are bonded with your demon the All-Key won’t free you of it!
TORIN- Suspicion radiates from every single pore of my being. “Why me?”
CRONUS- If you tell anyone about this gift I will KILL you as well as the person you told! If you try to give it away I will KILL you and all those you LOVE! And when I ask you to return it YOU WILL! If you refuse or even hesitate, I will KILL all your loved ones in ways that will hurt them even when dead!
TORIN- Still walking beside Cronus, his lack of explanation as to why he picked me has me saying, “Yeah, well thanks for thinking of me but I would rather eat dirt.”
CRONUS- *Using my god powers I send you flying off your feet and watch as you writhe in pain on the ground before me. The pain I send shooting through your skull has you bleeding from your ears* You were saying? *I wave my hand over you so the pain eases*
TORIN- I fucking hate the Gods I say over and over again in my head as I lay there panting and sweating profusely. “I was saying I love the taste of dirt in the morning.”
CRONUS- *glaring at you and how you shake off my torture, breaking you will take more then strong-arm tactics* Do this, keep my All-Key safe for me and I will grant you a Boon! Anything you wish! Anything that is in my power to give, of course!
TORIN- I lay there staring at the God-King weighing my options. I know if I refuse him, he will hurt the ones I love. I also know if I accept his offer, he will more than likely fuck me over. Gripping my hands into fists, I know I will have to accept.
CRONUS- I think we both know what you want! A woman you can touch without starting a plague!
TORIN- My breath catches in my chest as Cronus offers me the very thing, the only thing, I crave more than all other things. The chance to touch a female. “Can you give me that chance?”
CRONUS- There is a woman…… I will force her to meet with you. You can touch her all you desire and she will never sicken!
TORIN- “The woman should be of my own choosing. Not yours.” Knowing this may very well be the trick in his offer. More than likely, he will offer me a three-legged she-male with halitosis and foot fungus.
CRONUS- You wanted a woman to touch, I can give you one! That is the boon I am offering you!
TORIN- Terms, I need terms with dealing with the God-King. “Is she dead?”
CRONUS- She lives!
TORIN- “Is she old?” Cringing at the next thought. “Is she a child?”
CRONUS- She is neither too old nor too young!
TORIN- He has me and he knows it the fucking bastard. “How will I be able to…?”
CRONUS-*Growls* Answers are not part of your boon! Now decide!
TORIN- I lay there thinking to myself, that what ever trickery Cronus has planned, I can out think him. “Very well then…you have a deal.
CRONUS- *What Torin did not know, was that the All-Key would wipe his memories as it always did to everyone except myself and Rhea. I made the all-key and when I did, I made sure I would never lose my memories. Because I was now in possession of the key, I can not be bound and therefore, neither can Rhea through our connection. That is why I need to get rid of it for a while, so I can trap her. What Torin doesn’t realize is that, whatever boon I give him, he will not remember once he gives the All-Key back. Seeing the Lord trying to raise himself I say, “No, stay there! This might hurt!
TORIN- I watch as Cronus waves his hand over me and then, the memory of any pain I have felt in the past was obliterated as my body was wracked with living fire. It felt as if my skin was being flayed from my body and my bones being realigned. I try so very hard to hold back the screams, but I fail miserably. Eons it seemed later, I wake in my own bed thinking to myself. What the fuck have I just agreed to. #DarkestSeductionLordsOfBudapest #AllKey
Cameo: Sitting in front of our tent, staring up at the sky, I notice the bats that are starting to come out in search of bugs. Oh gods, that’s all we need. To have bats attack Torin next! Grinning I stare at Torin, who is still sitting across from me, worried look on his face. He’s noticed the…
I knew you secretly liked me Bee…but come on. You are courting death by posting pictures of my unmentionables. *whispers* Cam might see this.
Need I say anything…
I would like to thank my kick-ass writing partner, @Cameo_Lords. Ahem… *winks*
CAMEO - Lying in my bed I stare at the ceiling and sigh. Checking the clock on my bedside table I notice only 2 hours have passed. 2 very long, sleepless hours. Turning to my side I stare out of my bedroom window..not much to see there but it beats the ceiling…Thinking to myself what I did to…
Um hun… that isn’t a puppy…and the answer is NO!!!
@Torin_Lords If you are not going to get me that KittyCat then I Must insist you buy me this cute Puppy! I will train it well…so It won’t eat your face off! #BuyMeThePuppy!
Striped Hyena (by Nicola Williscroft)
<3 <3 I love hyenas so much :)
Do you suppose folks out there think we are weird?
Since @Torin_Lords shared his sexy Thor outfit I decided I might as well share my Superwoman Costume. He so like me to wear it when he is in his tight and sexy Thor outfit. *sits back and stares at Torin’s picture with a happy smile on her face*
So…O-Kay I occasionally dress like Thor the Thunder God. Only because @Cameo_Lords likes the way I look in tights, and strangely enough…I’m cool with that.
I’m so stinking tired. I hate mornings. Anyone got some coffee?
