章 7: So Soft

I was a grown woman, but I was still having trouble getting to sleep with Lesha already passed out on her side of the bed. I was curled up with my back to her, staring at my wall. If I wasn't going to sleep, then I wanted some answers.

'You just need to ask me, child, I can only tell you what I am allowed to, but I will not lie to you. I may seem heartless, but it is our nature to be as such. You will learn that you need to be ruthless to defeat the gods.' -Drania.

'Defeat the gods? You think I could get rid of them?'

'This is unbelievably frustrating, but yes, you will. You are so much more than you know, but enough of things that aren't yet. I will explain what you are, as you both you questioned earlier, but refuse to ask me.' -Drania.

'Both of us? So you can talk to us both?'

'Girl, please hold your questions until I am finished, but yes I can contact any of you servants that you are close to. You are a necromancer that uses blood as a medium. You, servants, are bound to you by a blood pact that will have far-reaching abilities that will even allow you to heal and halt death from healing, but you are a long way away from that. Now, questions.' -Drania.

'...What is a necromancer and how can I learn how to heal?'

'Good, Necromancers are the masters of life before and after death. You will learn to raise armies of undead minions to fire for you, Turn to blood mist, and many more things wait for you at the top, but we must start by eliminating the gods before they start causing real problems. To learn these things you will have to find more servants, and they can't just be anyone. We will have to find them or make them come to us.' -Drania.

'My head is swimming! The gods are supposed to help unite us!'

'I can't say more than I have, I am sorry, but heed my words! There is another reason for you to pursue the gods and the dungeons, your servants will need the prizes that they will be awarded and so will you.' -Drania.

'Is there anything else?'

'Plenty, but I can't tell you, yet. We have to work together and you will have to do things that you will find detestable, but over time you will learn to accept who you are.' -Drania.

This was what I asked for but, there was so much. How was I supposed to stop a god? Better, how to stop nine?

'You will need more than just the servant to do think, Kiada. You will need the guilds, and there are four men who might be able to be shaped into fine guild leaders, if you give them a chance and trust them.' -Drania.

'My brothers? Guild Masters? You have to be kidding me, right.'

'Don't be so pigheaded, girl. You will learn over time, but don't let your natural urge to distrust all men get in the way of seeing these for men's true potential. This is important for your success in finding certain servants. This will also be a chance for you to change the life expectancy of adventures.' -Drania.

'I will try, but…'

'Go to sleep, tomorrow you will be going to learn how to summon undead minions.' -Drania.

Suddenly, it was morning, my eyes were closed, but I could hear the birds chirping and the familiar warmth wrapped around me...warmth...arms...around me…Lesha was spooning me with her arms tucked under my breasts. I couldn't move, nor breathe, but at the same time, I didn't want to...move, that is. I let out the breath I was holding, but that caused Lesha to stir, then I was spun into a tangle with my blanket faster than I could react, even with my new speed.

Lesha was on the other side of the room, and her face was burning red, and she was staring at her arms. Now seeing her like this somehow made me feel better. I guess seeing that it was just as weird for her was comforting.

"Kiada, I'm sorry, I…" Lesha tried to say, but I cut her off with a wave after getting an arm free.

"Don't make a big deal about it, I might get the impression that you enjoyed it."

Woah, where the hell did that come from? Did those words just come out of my mouth? Now I could feel my own face burning up. What had just possessed me to blurt that out, and, just to make the matter worse, Lesha looked away from, with her face somehow darkening even to a darker shade of red.

At this point, I was worried that one of us was going to start a fire, but then I heard the floorboard outside my room creak. Any heat in my face drained away instantly, and my face went stone cold. Someone was about to die, or maybe all four someone's.

"If you value your life, I will see you at the table in thirty seconds, and I even see a sideways glance, someone is going to die."

The sound of scrambling feet, down the stairs and muffled laugh was in line to put me into a very bad mood, but then Lesha spoke.

'I didn't not like it, I just...I have never held a woman in that way before...and you are so soft…"

I clamped my hand over her mouth, and put my mouth close to her ear. My heartbeat almost drowned out my whisper as I shook, trying to control my voice.

"I-I enjoyed t-the feeling, but this isn't something I want to talk about here. Drania says we will need my brother to help take over the guilds, and if they heard what you just said to me, I would have to kill them."
