Chapter 41 (Remnant 3)

They starved me.

For three days, I was without food, and without sleep. I was only given water to drink, and even the water tasted foul.

I walked alongside several Halakites with a strange collar around my neck that prevented me from using my pyrokinesis. Despite my weakened body, that was screaming for food and water, and sleep, I was filled with adrenaline. All that matters was what had happened to Meena.

We entered the throne room, where I was thrown on my knees. I looked up, and my eyes widened.

Meena stood by Kallas' side, who was seated on a large throne. On his left, sat another Halakite, who wore a three piece suit, with Halakite patterns. I thought he was a human, until I looked close and realized he had a third eye. And his skin, was purple, just like Kallas.

The throne on his right was empty.

Meena was expressionless, standing by Kallas' side, and Chance, was on his other. They were both unrestrained. But they made no attempt to escape. I could see why.

Meena looked at me, and her face was momentarily full of horror, but returned back to its dead expression.

"Mee-" I muttered, but a Halakite slammed me in my midsection, washing me with nausea, as I fell to the ground, groaning.

Meena said nothing.

"Deacon Chow. Meena's corruptor. I have brought you here today to... actually. What am I saying." Kallas began to laugh, maniacally. His voice booming and echoing in the throne room. The throne room itself looked organic, like... alien flesh. Burgundy, and alive.

"Screw the formalities." Kallas muttered. He leaned forward from the throne.

"I just wanna play with you. You're going to become my new play-mate. Does that sound nice?"

The Halakite next to him sneered.

"My brother is of poor professionalism. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Malakai. You have been summoned here today, for us to test the results of our operation on Meena Kennedy."

Operation?!

I stared at Meena's expressionless face, in shock. I didn't see it before, but underneath her neck, the same place as Chance's, was a glowing mass. She was...

Malakai leaned to the side on his throne, placing his chin on his hand.

"The shock on your face tells me you've figured it out. We have finished restoring Meena to her original form. To what she was intended to be."

A tear ran down my cheek.

"You... you..." I muttered.

"YOU BASTARDS!" I screamed, unleashing everything I had, the flames overtaking the collar's capacity, as I flooded the entire surroundings with flame.

Kallas raised an eyebrow.

"Looks like our collars need more work. Well, I guess this is fine. Was going to take it off anyway."

I glared at the Halakites.

"How could you..." I growled. "Give Meena back!"

Kallas shook his head. "The Meena you knew is gone. At least... that is what we will see today. Because I'm going to be putting you to a test."

Kallas leapt from his throne, facing me. From where his feet landed, several purple cracks appeared.

"I received word that my youngest brother, Zora, was slain by the being known as Brickhouse. I am now receiving news from my Halakite subordinates that he is related to you by blood."

A droplet of sweat ran down my neck.

"As annoying as he was, he was still my brother. I don't take this lightly..." Kallas' face turned into a maniacal smile.

"An eye for an eye. He took a brother from me. I shall take a brother from him. In the most brutal... painful way possible. The only way I know how."

Malakai leaned forward.

"You want to get Meena back, Deacon? Then prove it. Fight Kallas. And show that you are strong enough to deserve her. But I must warn you... if you lose. You will not face a quick and painless death. You will face a fate much worse..."

"Yes..." Kallas hissed. "You will become my toy. My play-mate. A new thing to have fun with..."

Kallas licked his lips.

"I knew your face was similar... Deacon Chow. Because it reminded me of another being. One who brought my kind to the brink of extinction.

"Paladin Decen of Acadia."

My eyes went wide.
