7th LAYER AND TINJA
Annoying Author
SORRY FOR THE DELAY GUYS!! BUT HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS!! I WILL BE RELEASING THE NEW EPISODES 12-15 (approximately) NEXT SUNDAY. TILL THEN STAY TUNED. AND ENJOY!!!
Raiden Duke
(holds her by shoulder and pulls her closer to himself defensively) This is the seventh layer. Here, my ancestors caged the Basilisks.
Akari
Caged? So you mean, your influence doesn't work at all here.
Raiden Duke
It does but...
Raiden Duke
Only when we find the only Banshee here, who can control these Basilisks. She was one of my ancestors, did bad things when alive. Former Oblivion wanted to take her, but she refused and instead chose to use her powers to guard this layer to pay for whatever mistake she made in her life.
Akari
Sounds Sad… (looks down sadly.) ...but the right thing to do. But she might have suffered a lot since ages here.
Raiden Duke
She did. As the monsters are hard to control and whenever someone dies within these layers or palace walls. She wails and feels the torment that the person who died might have felt while dying.
Akari
Then we need to find her fast. I don't know her past but this self torment isn't good for her.
Raiden Duke
(looks at her with admiration and affection and caress her cheek.) You are so... Ki—
Before he could finish, a group of Basilisks attack them. Toppling Akari over in one swift motion. One of them holds Raiden by its tail.
Raiden Duke
Akari!! (immediately turns to smoke to reach Akari.)
Akari
Raiden… Are you okay?
Raiden Duke
I am fine... But you. (He hugs her tightly. Tries to use magic, but it doesn't work)
Akari
UFF. 😠 We both can't use our powers here too. (tries to summon her bow but no use)
Raiden Duke
Don't worry. I am here. (Ray starts taking down the Basilisks.)
A Basilisk attacks the Raiden. Akari handles it, but the Basilisks keep emerging. A deadly blow was about to hurt them both by the large Basilisk.
Tinja
(Appears and lunges at Basilisk) Meow!!
Tinja
(takes down the Basilisk in one bite.)
Raiden Duke
Akari you okay?
Akari
Yeah...(trails off concerned to see Tinja) ...Tinja! Why are you here? (asks in concern)
Tinja
Akari... My lord... (his voice quivers as he starts sobbing)
Akari
(scoops tinja up and coos him) shh... Tell me... What happened to him? You are scaring me. Is he okay?
Tinja
(shakes head while crying)
Raiden Duke
Who is this he? (asks in a cold tone)
Akari
(don't pay attention to Raiden) Tinja. Take me to him immediately.
Tinja
(nod and opens a portal in air to oblivion)
Akari
(about to step into the portal)
Raiden Duke
(stops her by grabbing her wrist roughly)
Akari
Ray?! It hurts! (tries to release her wrist)
Raiden Duke
it's about oblivion again, right? (asks coldly releasing her wrist)
Akari
it is and I will come back after helping him.
Raiden Duke
Oh (says coldly and towers over her) You can't go. You have to choose today either him or me.
Akari
That's childish Ray. okay I choose neither you nor him but the right thing and right now it's helping Oblivion. Tinja will protect you with his magic till the time I am away since his magic works here.
Raiden Duke
(turns away) *How can she? Doesn't she love me?* Go away Akari. I don't want to see your face anytime soon. You are just a pathetic spirit magic user. it's obvious you would wag your tail infront of Oblivion.
Tinja
Akari.. Can I kill him? (glares at Raiden)
Akari
(gulps down her tears at Ray's biting words) No! Tinja protect him till the time I am back. Ray you are not thinking clearly right now. You need space and Oblivion needs me. I will be back. (steps into the portal)
Tinja
(turns to Raiden and glares) Dog man.
Raiden Duke
(keeps looking away coldly. A tear fall down his eye. He wipes it with his sleeve before breaking) No. A dog is better. How could I hurt her? I am fool! I again let my insecurities and jealousy let myself hurt her. (slaps himself)
Tinja
(feels sympathetic and licks his leg) Stop that. Sometimes we do mistake. Akari loves you but My lord is also important to her as her friend. You can't change that
Raiden Duke
You are right. As soon as she is back I will apologise to her.
Tinja
That's the right thing.
