I raised my fist once more, and it connected across his cheek this time. His
head whipped to the side, the bones crunching beneath the force of my
knuckles. Cobalt blue blood splattered across the wood floor of the upstairs
office in this oversized mansion. The bound celestial in the center of the
room shook his head once more before correcting himself. He stared at me,
his face bloody and his brow furrowed with pain.
“Your eyes,” he said from between split and swollen lips, pausing to spit
blood at my feet. “I know what you are.” He had fought hard and his hair was
matted to his head with sweat and blood. His hands were bound behind his
back, and his muscles bunched beneath the torn fabric of a once decent suit.
He slumped in the chair at the center of the once prestigious room. “But it’s
impossible. You cannot exist. The Ig’Morruthens died in the Gods War.”
I hadn’t started my life as an Ig’Morruthens, but it is what I had become,
and my eyes would always give me away. When I was mad, hungry, or when
I was anything but human, they burned like two fiery embers. One identifier
among many that reminded me I was no longer human.
“Ah yes, the Gods War.” I tilted my head to the side as I regarded him.
“How did that go again? Oh right. Thousands of years ago, your world
crashed, burned, and fell into our world, disrupting lives and technology.
Now you and your kind pretty much make the rules, right? Now the world
knows about gods and monsters and you are the great do-gooders who keep
all the bad guys under lock and key.”
I moved closer, grabbing the back of the chair as he tried to tilt his head
away from me. “Do you know what your fall did to my world? A plague
swept through the deserts of Eoria, my home, while you all just rebuilt. Do
you know how many died? Do you care?”
He didn’t speak and didn’t say anything as I pushed off the chair. I raised
my hand, my knuckles coated in his blood. “Yeah, I didn’t think so. Well, you
bleed blue, so I guess everything isn’t what it seems after all.” I crouched in
front of him, pieces of glass crunching beneath my heels. The only light came
from the hallway, spilling through the door and illuminating the disaster of an
office. Several pages from books and other debris littered the floor along with
the broken desk I’d thrown him through.
The celestial was the reason we’d come, and it was a longshot that the one
artifact Kaden was looking for would be here, but I checked nonetheless. My
bound and beaten celestial made no remark as he watched me search through
the ruins of the room. The stoic face he put on was a shield to what he was
actually feeling.
