As soon as Kyori left him to do what he is needing to do. Aeterna transformed into his master form and disappear into the shadows. He needed to go somewhere he could train and work through his feelings without the chance of having any interference. The garden would have been a good place, but now everyone knew where it was. He would need to find another secluded location to train. He knew of a couple of locations, but he was going to the Lush island in the Southern Isles.
When he arrived there he looked around at the abundance of life from the trees to the animals. He felt at home here, and figured it would be the best place to train. He closed his eyes and continued to utilize his master form. It was difficult to keep it going but he continued to push his body as he pulled his sword. Moving fluently as he practised his sword skills. Then his mind returned to the conversation he and Kyori had and he lost his concentration reverting back to his human form. As tears fell down his face. “Why am I like this!”Aeterna screamed as he fell to his knees.
He had the love of a wonderful man that would do anything for him, and he loved him back. So why in the world would he harbor these feelings of inadequacy? Why would he let them get in his way? Why couldn't he make himself understand that they were both warriors, and there as a chance of getting hurt? Why could he not come to terms with the fact that Kyori had to kill him?
There were so many things that he hated about himself right now that he couldn't come to terms with himself, and the events that have lead to this situation. Tears still fell down his face as he stood back up and looked into the forest. He would never find his answers if he didn't come to terms with the fact that Kyori doesn't need him to protect him. He knew that Kyori had to kill him or he would have lost his life to him.
He took a deep breath as he closed his eyes, and calmed himself. He knew Kyori was more powerful than him and didn't need his help. He didn't need his protection, but that didn't mean that he wouldn't let him protect him. They were lovers, and that would never change. No matter what, but he still needed to come to terms with his own inadequacies.
His life has been never ending, and from the moment he fell in love he knew that he would never be the same. However, he also had the securing of having Aide with him. Now he was himself, and nothing more. He felt alone for the first time, and it scared him, but he was not alone. Kyori was here with him, and he would be with him always. Aeterna needed to overcome his problems if he was to ever free himself from the shackles of insecurity. He started to look within himself to find the answers. Blocking out the rest of the world he just sat there concentrating on his internal conflict.
“Well well well, what do we have here,” a familiar voice filled the area around Aeterna, “a little lost phoenix so far from home. Come now why the long face?” the voice mocked.
Aeterna was finally starting to calm down, but then a voice echoed through the forest and his blood ran cold. He couldn't believe that his worst fear had come to this island. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around to see where Samael was standing. When he found him he sat up in an instant and just stared at him. His body was shaking slightly as he took a couple of steps back. “Why are you here?” Aeterna asked in a shaky voice.
“Why am I here?” Samael said as he stepped through the bushes with a grin on his face. “Well it’s quite simple, I’m here for you,” he said with a wink. Now standing in front of Aeterna he took a few more steps towards Aeterna all the while with a wicked grin on his face. “Tell me Aeterna, are you tired of being in his shadow? You know you’ll never be adequate, so I’ve come to relieve you of that sorrow.”
Aeterna was taken back by Samael's words. Why would he be here for him? He already had the chance to kill him, but yet here he was standing before him. Would he try to kill him this time? Or was he here for a different reason? Samael was right in front of him. He was not making any aggressive movements, but his smile was telling Aeterna that something was wrong. When he took two more steps toward him Aeterna took two steps back. Then the words that came from his mouth hit the Shadow Phoenix hard. Was he really only existing in Kyori’s shadow? Was he nothing more than a useless being that couldn't do anything more than look at the back of the one he loved?
Aeterna shook his head. Kyori has told him time after time that he loved him for who he was, and that he didn’t have to change. He was a special person and that he was strong. Though did Kyori really believe the words he spoke to Aeterna, or were they just empty words to keep him close?
“My sorrow is my burden to bare. I don’t need you to relieve it from me. Now go” Aeterna said as he closed his eyes. He didn’t want to be a burden on anyone, but yet he didn’t want to sacrifice his life to this man. No matter if he could relieve him of his problems.
“You don’t sound convincing to me Aeterna,” Samael spoke as he took a few more steps towards Aeterna. “I can help you remove all that doubt that is plaguing your mind. It will be easy and swift. Aren’t you tired of being inadequate? I have a proposition for you. Come with me and I shall give you what you need to surpass others around you, all I ask is something small in return.”
Aeterna was trying his best to not allow Samael’s words get to him. He was trying to convince himself that he could conquer his demons on his own, but the Dark ones offer was so tempting. He knew this would hurt Kyori more than anything else in the world. But peace just sounded so good to him right now. He didn’t move when Samael came closer to him. Aeterna closed his eyes and thought. He didn’t want more power, in the sense that he would be stronger than Kyori. He just wanted to feel like he was worthy of the affection that Kyori felt for him. Though at the same time this one decision would cause him to lose the one he loved all for power.
“I...I…” Aetern began to speak, but he was having a fight within himself. Should he go with the Dark one, or try and find a better path? He was fighting with himself. In more than one way. “Why would you want to help me? All you want to do is destroy the world. There is no reason to trust…” Aeterna stopped there not knowing what else to say. He just hoped Samael would leave him alone. So he wouldn’t do anything stupid.
“Do you honestly think Kyori will ever see you as an equal? He pities you, he knows you’ll never be on par with him or the others and might I say it is quite horrible how he keeps dragging you along telling you lies to make you feel better about yourself. You’ve trained, you have regained strength and yet look at you,” Samael spoke stepping closer, closing the gap between them. “All you have to do is surrender to me and I shall give you what it is you need to overcome your doubt. Kyori will never truly love someone who cannot love himself. I will help you because you are no threat to me either way.” Samael smirked. Aeterna would be his ticket to Kyori. He extended his hand towards Aeterna and looked at him. “The choice is yours.”
Aeterna was on the brink of tears with Samael’s words. Kyori pitied him? Was he that much of a hinderance that his love would never see him as an equal? Does Kyori only tell him what he wants to hear to keep him by his side? Was he manipulating him from the start? So many different questions were now causing him anguish. Tears started to fall down his face as he opened his eyes to look at the Dark one. Samael had to be wrong. There would be no way that the man he loved would do such a thing. He had trained as much as the others, but he didn’t have the strength to match up to any of them. Even the servants of Auro were stronger than he was. Aeterna was nothing compared to his companions.
Aeterna didn’t pay any attention to Samael as he closed the gap between them. He didn’t move nor did he even care. If what he had told him was true then his life was not worth anything. The last remark was like a being punched in the gut. He was helping him out of pity as well. Did everyone pity the likes of him? Samael was right. Kyori could never truly love someone like him. They were polar opposites, and no matter how close they are with their words and how intimate they are with one another it was still a fact. Kyori could do so much better than him. He was utterly defeated. He had no will to live anymore. Reaching out his hand hesitantly. He didn’t know if he was making the right decision or not, his hand stopped three inches from Samael’s.
Samael’s eyes narrowed on the extended hand of Aeterna. With a serpent like quickness, his hand latched around Aeterna’s and the air filled with his menacing cackle. Threads of energy began to snake up Aeterna’s body restricting his movement and causing him pain.
“Fool,” Samael said, “You are but one of the final pieces to resurrect the dark god, and now with you in my possession Kyori will submit to my will. Your pathetic doubt has cost you dearly.”
Samael summoned a syringe that he used to stick in the extended arm of Aeterna, drawing the beautiful blood of the shadow phoenix before both men vanished. When they reappeared, they were in Samael’s lair. Amon was still constricted and he had multiple cut on his body. Etrama really did have fun. Perhaps he would have even more fun with the shadow phoenix.
Samael’s servants went to work binding Aeterna to the table using powerful wards. The braces that restricted his movement would prove to be defiantly strong against any attempt to break them, unless an outside source somehow damaged them, or the wards were removed. Samael grabbed Aeterna by the chin and smiled.
“I can’t wait to see the look on Kyori’s face when he sees that you offered your hand to me freely. Can you imagine the pain, the hurt? Get some rest, you’ll need it,” Samael stated before kissing Aeterna rather bluntly, releasing his chin and leaving the room. Aeterna and Amon could see each other as they were in the same room across from each other.
Aeterna was not paying any attention so when Samael's hand wrapped around his eyes grew and the laughter filled the air as a an energy thread wrapped itself around him and restricted his movements. The strings seemed to made out of a material that caused his skin to burn and caused him pain. His face twisted in that pain as Samael spoke. Aeterna was shocked by what Samael said and knew that he had made a horrible mistake. He didn't say a word as the dark one pulled blood from his arm, and then they disappear and now he was in the enemy hands.
Aeterna saw that he was not the only 'guest’ that had been invited to this horrible place. He saw that Amon was lying unconscious on a table. He was chained to the table nude, and he looked like he had been raped. This only made his situation worse, but he was unable to fight back even if he wanted to. He was not even putting up a fight. He only wished that they would kill him, or that he could take his own life. His worst fear was realized. Samael was going to use him to get to Koyri, and force him to do his bidding. His tears fell more as Samael's men went to work securing him to the table.
As Aeterna was bound to the table in the same fashion as Amon though his clothing remained on him. All he could do was watch as they used ward’s that would not allow him to be able to escape. Then Samael approached him as soon as his servants were done and grabbed a hold of his chin with a gentle yet firm grip that wouldn't let Aeterna turn his head. Then when Samael spoke all of the color from his face, as he continued to cry. He once again would caused Kyori pain, and now he would be unable to apologise for his actions. Then the dark one kissed him. Aeterna didn't expect this and he gave Samael a nasty look as he released his chin.
“Samael you bastard. Just kill me now.” Aeterna said as Samael left the room. Knowing that if he lived he would be used to force Kyori to do whatever Samael wished. When the dark one left the room the shadow phoenix was left alone with only his thoughts as company. He knew he had betrayed not only his friends but the man he loved to his own insecurities. He wanted to die. He didn't want to be a burden on Kyori since Samael was going to use him to get to the spirit dragon. Closing his eyes he tried to free himself from the restraints that held him down.
Amon started to regain his senses because of someone screaming that he wanted to die. The voice sounded familiar, but he was still to out of it to know who it was. As he slowly opened his eyes he looked around the room, and he saw the source of the voice. It was the Shadow Phoenix. He tried to move his body and a sharp pain radiated through his very being. He cringed as he moaned in pain. Eterna had really had his fun with him, but he doubted that it would end with just one session. He was weak, but that didn’t stop him from looking in Aeterna’s direction. He could tell that he was crying, though because of the Phoenix’s healing factor he wouldn't be able to tell if he had been injured. Oh how he wished he had that ability.
“Wishing for death would only make the one you love cry. He has already lost you once. I don’t think he could handle losing you again. Without you he would be lost in this world.” Amon said as he struggled with his own problem. He had just been raped by a man and he was not really in the mood for this, but it seemed Aeterna was in worse shape than he was at the moment. “Even if we are left to our fates we must accept that truth. Our loved ones will be the ones hurt if we don’t try our best to survive.”
Aeterna opened his eyes when Amon began to speak. He looked over at the poor man that looks as if he had been beaten. Though he did wonder why he was naked? Aeterna could only look at Amon with a look of melancholy. How would he understand what he was going through? He has hurt Kyori more than once, and he hurt him once more. “How can one not wish for death when one hurts the one he loves. Over and over again. I am nothing more that a burden to him,”Aeterna said as he looked at the nephlim that was bound along with him.
Amon weakly chuckled as he smiled at the phoenix. He knew all too well the feeling of being a burden to another. He has felt it since he had met the group of Mystics. He has felt like he was a burden to them, but Ocella didn’t care about that. She loved him with all of his problems. That is what has helped him through his insecurities. “Aeterna. It doesn't matter if you believe yourself to be a burden to the one you love. As long as you try your hardest you will not have to worry about hurting them. They will love you no matter your flaws. That is what it means to love another. You should…” Amon was cut short by a portal opening inside of the room, and Etrama entering the chamber.
“Well, well looks like my master was successful in capturing you Aeterna. It also looks like you have regained Consciousness young nephilim. Well it seems I will get to play with you again, but first I must report to my master. Then I will see what I will be doing next.” Etrama said as he reached up and touched Amons chest gently. “So go ahead and talk. I will be right back.” Eterna said as he walked out of the room.
Amon shook when Eterna touched him with a disgusted look on his face. Aeterna saw the reaction and it hit him why he was not wearing any clothing. It seemed that Amon had been toyed with by Eterna. All he could do was look at him with a worried look on his face. Was he trying to comfort him even though he had been violated? “Amon what…” Aeterna began to say but Amon cut him off. “I don’t want to speak on it. Just remember what I said.” Amon said as he closed his eyes.
Eterna walked into his master's study, and walked over to his desk. Placing down the second half of the black stone in front of Samael. “I have finished my little errand, and had a little fun while I was at it. I also see that you were able to capture the Phoenix with little struggle.” Etrama said as he leaned over the desk looking his love in the eyes. “So what is your next move my Love?”
Samael smiled when Etrama entered into his study. He stood up after the black stone was placed on his desk and moved around to Etrama embracing him, inhaling his scent and nibbling playfully on his ear.
“There’s one more piece of the puzzle,” he began his hand moved up and down Etrama’s body, a single finger ripping open Etrama’s shirt as Samael seemed to eye him hungrily. “I need the blood of a dragon and I am stuck. If I go after the spirit dragon I could lose my leverage and I very well may be unsuccessful. If I go after the sound dragon I could capture him, but he is slightly stronger willed than the nephilim and phoenix, not to mention you’ve angered his boy toy,” Samael stated placing a trail of kisses along Etrama’s jawline. “No doubt he’s warned him by now. I have a plan though, one that will involve Darkholm’s spot being replaced. For now go and have fun with the phoenix and the nephilim,” Samael finished leaving hickies along Etrama’s neck.
He turned and moved towards the bookcase grabbing a book from the shelf and slamming it onto his desk. “I will call upon you when I need you my love, but do enjoy the new gift I brought for you.”
Etrama moaned as Samael nibbled on his ear, and moved his hands up and down his body. His body shivered with each brush of his hands on his body. He has been yearning for his touch for a while. Samael ripped open his shirt he wanted Samael to touch him more. He listened to his love speak, and knew good and well he had a conundrum on his hands. Either dragon would work for his master plan, but which to go after. As soon as Samael started to kiss him he raised his hands and placed them on his lovers hips. Etrama moaned once more when Samael sucked on his neck. He so wanted to throw his love down and have sex with him, but his master told him to go and have fun with the two prisoners. His master seemed to have a plan on how to acquire what he wants.
Etrama released his master and love and smiled at him. He knew that he was busy. He didn’t mind since he loved him, and he allows him to enjoy himself in more than one way. “I will go and enjoy my new toy, and I will await your call.” Etrama said as he walked over to him and kissed him deeply. As soon as he finished he left the room with a smile on his face. He was going to enjoy himself with Aeterna.
Aeterna thought on what Amon said as he heard the door open and Etrama returned to the room. His smile was large and he had a lustful look in his eyes as he moved over in between Amon and Aeterna. He eyed them both as he knew he was going to play with one of them. He wanted to see how Aeterna tasted, but he wanted to play more with Amon as well. Choices, choices. A sly smile formed on his face as he wanted to see if he could force Aeterna into consensual sex. By forcing himself on Amon. Maybe the phoenix would give himself up to save the man beside him. Turning to face Amon he placed a hand on his abdomen in a sensual manner. He slowly moved his hand lower as Amon closed his eyes and his body shook with disgust, and horror.
Aeterna watched as Etrama began to touch Amon one more time as the nephilim shook from his touch. Aeterna struggled against his restraints as he tried to free himself to help Amon. He didn’t want to see the man suffer more at the hands of this mad man. “Amon!” Aeterna said trying to get the wraiths attention. Aeterna had been trying to come to terms with what he had done, but he still had his problems, but he wouldn’t add watching Amon get raped right in front of him. “Leave him alone!”
Etrama smiled as he heard Aeterna’s voice. He stopped him movement and turned to face the phoenix. He Looked at him with ravenous eyes as he moved over to where the Phoenix was shackled. “Are you wanting to take his place?” He questioned as he placed his hand on Aeterna’s shoulder and slowly moved his hand to his intended victim's chest then down to his abdomen. Feeling the man's body shudder under his touch.
Aeterna was not wanting to really answer the madman's question, but he knew what the alternative was and that was worse than what he was going to face. “I don't want to watch you torture Amon any more than you already have. So yes I am willing to take his place.” Aeterna said as he only could guess what was going to become of him. Though he was not aware this is what the wraith wanted from the beginning. He closed his eyes for a moment to prepare himself for what was more than likely to come his way.
Etrama looked at Aeterna and nodded his head. “Then you consent to allow me to do as I please. No fighting back, but you are allowed to scream as much as you want.” Eterna said as he moved to the side of the table flipping a switch to move the bed into an upright position. He was going to remove the Phoenix's clothing, but he needed to make sure that the ward’s stayed in place.
Amon’s eyes opened when the touching stopped and he looks and listened to everything that happened. He was shocked that Aeterna would sacrifice himself to save him, but he wouldn't allow it. “Aeterna you don't have to do this for me. I have already been…” but before Amon could finish his sentence Aeterna spoke up. “I will not sit by and watch you have to go through this in your current state. Besides you are right. No matter what happens we will always be there for one another.” Aeterna said as the bed moved. “Close your eyes. You don't have to watch.” Aeterna commented as he was sure this was going to be more than he could handle. His powers were being blocked, and that meant his healing factor was not going to work. He only hoped he would not die in the process. There was so many things he needed to tell Kyori. Like how sorry he was for what he had done and put him through because of his self doubt.
The sentiment that his two victims shared sickened Etrama, but he would allow them this moment. He walked over to a table in the room and picked put a tray of utensils, as well as a knife to help him play with the Phoenix. Imagining the pain he was going to inflict before satisfying himself sent a tingling sensation down his spine. When he returned they had finished their little conversation and Eterna smiled wickedly at Aeterna. It has been a while since he has been able to torture someone on a physical level. Auro disagreed with his methods of pleasure and play.
Taking the knife he walked in front of Aeterna he proceeded to cut away his shirt. Revealing his muscular body underneath. He lightly traced the tip of the blade over his chest down his abdomen to the hem of his pants. Watching as Aeterna's muscles contracted to the touch of the blade as if they were trying to escape it touch. Then he began cutting away the phoenix's pants. Once Etrama was done Aetrena was completely revealed. The wraith could see a slight shake in the young man's body as if he was scared of what was going to happen. This only made Eterna smile more as he placed the knife on the table and he looked over the different utensils that he had at his disposal. While Etrama was looking at what he had to use on him Aeterna decided that as long as he kept his attention on him and off of Amon he would play along, but only to a point.
Picking up a small shape knife he returned his attention to his target. “Well shall we get started?” He asked but didn't wait for a response before taking the knife and cutting into Aeterna’s tender flesh. The blade cut into the soft tissue if the Phoenix's abdomen. The blade slowly cut his flesh, and Aeterna bit his lip as the blade cut into his skin. He was not going to give Eterna the pleasure on hearing his scream right off the bat. Etrama was not happy to have the Phoenix holding back his scream, but there was plenty of time for him to break. The laceration bleed and the wrath bent down and licked a line of blood from his abdomen, and then moved his tongue up to his chest.
He pulled himself away from the shadow phoenix with a smile on his face. His new little toy tasted as good as the Nephilim. Touching Aeterna's chest with his hand he decided to cause the Phoenix even worse pain. Taking the knife he ran the blade over the skin of his chest slightly just barely enough to cut the skin. He then moved the blade around in the same manner all around his play toys chest. Blood seeped from the cuts as Aeterna continued to try and hold in his scream.
Eterna move to the side to bring the table back down vertically. He removed his torn shirt and threw it to the ground, and then removed his pants and undergarments. Letting them fall to the floor placing the knife down he then picked up a different kind of knife. The blade was covered in a odd energy. As Soon as he grabbed the blade he climbed on top of Aeterna and straddled his hips. The knife was in his hand but he took his free hand and placed it on Aeterna’s chest and rubbed the blood that was seeping from his wounds around. He then leaned against the man's bloodied chest and looked him in the eyes. Without warning he kissed Aeterna and didn't get a fight out of him. In fact the Phoenix returned the kiss. Not with passion, but he kissed back nonetheless. Etrama was caught a little off guard, but he knew the Phoenix wanted to keep his attention on him.
While they were kissing Etrama stabbed the knife into Aeterna's side. This time there was no way to stop from screaming. The muffled cry was music to Etrama's ears. He then twisted the knife the was embedded in the Phoenix's side as he continued the kiss and listen to the scream. The knife in Aeterna’s side felt like it was poisoned. The energy from the knife surged through his body, and it hurt like hell. It felt like his insides were on fire. Every part of his body hurt, and he was unable to control the pain that he was feeling. His body cunvulsed in pain and Aeterna was no longer able to think as Etrama continued the kiss. Once Etrama finished the kiss he looked down at Aeterna with a smile as he looked at his face distorted in pain. He knew the poison wouldn't last too long, but he would enjoy himself nonetheless.
He got off of Aeterna and removed his last piece of clothing that was covering him, and because of the jerking he did cut the Phoenix a couple of times. Though not deep enough to really be a problem. He then got back on top of him, and as soon as he got everything ready he began working Aeterna over.
Once he was finished he looked at the Phoenix who had passed out halfway through his playing with him that he finished without having a fight. Though Aeterna looked ten times worse that Amon did when he was finished, but he did hurry through his treatment of the Nephilim. Though he would be able to play with him some more now. He wanted to see the angels face when she realized what all he had done to her husband. Though he wanted to know the relationship between Ryan and Amon. He figured this would be a good of time as any to force Amon to tell him what that relationship was. Moving off of Aeterna he moved over to Amon to torture him till he told him what he wanted to know. Pulling a knife from his collection of tools he proceeded to slowly force Amon to talk.
Samael walked into the torture room as Etrama was getting ready to attempt to force Amon to tell him something. Samael was quite shocked by what he saw. Etrama had a lot to get off his chest it seemed, but they still needed to be alive for the exchange to work.
“Etrama, I said have fun with them not maim them,” Samael said as he walked over to Aeterna, looking over the phoenix as he managed to heal the heavy wounds, but leaving the minor ones. He did the same to Amon before turning and glaring at Etrama. “This is unacceptable,” he stated, “they are no good to be unconscious or dead, now go and find something to do, I have a meeting with Death.”
Samael sighed as he placed a firm hand on Etrama’s shoulder to let him know that he was simply on edge as this summoning could go quite wrong and he wanted to make sure everything was right. “Guards, ensure that the two subjects are clean and dressed properly. Thank you.”
As Etrama was about to begin asking Amon about his relationship Samael had entered the room and yelled at him for going too far. This shocked Etrama as he lowered his head and backed away. He really wasn't thinking of the exchange just releasing his pent up feelings. He hated being stagnant for so long, and the time he had spent with Auro had made him feel stir crazy. Though the time with Samael helped he still didn't get to satisfy his need to see people suffer.
Keeping his head down as Auro healed both the Phoenix, and the Nephilim he just waited till he was dismissed. He never thought Samael would yell at him for this, but he guessed he went a little too far. As soon as his master was done healing the two he yelled at him once more, and told him to find something to do. He was going to be summoning Death. Eterna didn’t like the feeling of his love yelling at him. “As you wish Master Samael.” He said as he bowed and turned around. He was about to leave when he felt a strong hand grab his shoulder.
The action made him feel a little better since his Master was more than likely worried about the summoning he was about to perform. Etrama didn’t hold this against Samael. He knew he went a little too far with the Phoenix, but at least he felt relieved. All of his tension was gone. That was the only bonus of this whole situation. “I hope your summoning has no hiccups. If you need me I will be in my room.” Etrama said as he left the room without turning around and without saying another word. He was still hurt from what just happened.
Amon watched as his insane captor was about to ask him a question, and looked like he wanted an answer, but before anything could happen Samael entered the room. What surprised him was that the dark one was yelling at his lover about the damage he had inflicted on both him and Aeterna. Granted it did his heart good to see the mad mad get what he deserved, but in the end they were still pawns in Samael’s little game. If they could just find a way to escape.
When Samael healed Aeterna and then moved to him. When he placed his hand on him he could feel the dark energy healing him, but in the end he didn’t heal him completely. That was to be expected. Amon tried struggling against his bonds but he was still too weak to break them. The infernal heat was sapping all of his strength. Then some of Samael’s servants began to clean him, and dress him in a robe. Making him presentable for some reason.
Aeterna had passed out from the pain just as he was being raped. Luckily for him he was not conscious for whatever Etrama did to him. However, he could feel an energy entering his body forcing him to wake up. As he opened his eyes he looked into the face of Samael. His eyes were wide as he looked into his eyes. Why was he healing him? Was the only thought that crossed his mind as he didn’t heal all of the wounds, but enough of them to make it where he could move again. He then moved onto Amon and did the same thing. Aeterna didn’t know what to do or what was going on until Samael yelled a bit at Etrama. He mentioned that he was going to be speaking to death, and it made no sense to him. Some of the dark ones other servants started to clean the blood from his person, and dress him in a robe. He guessed that this was the only outfit that they could put on him without freeing him. If it weren't for the shackles, and the wards he would have been able to escape long ago. All he could do now was wait, and see what happens.

As soon as Kyori left him to do what he is needing to do. Aeterna transformed into his master form and disappear into the shadows. He needed to go somewhere he could train and work through his feelings without the chance of having any interference. The garden would have been a good place, but now everyone knew where it was. He would need to find another secluded location to train. He knew of a couple of locations, but he was going to the Lush island in the Southern Isles.
When he arrived there he looked around at the abundance of life from the trees to the animals. He felt at home here, and figured it would be the best place to train. He closed his eyes and continued to utilize his master form. It was difficult to keep it going but he continued to push his body as he pulled his sword. Moving fluently as he practised his sword skills. Then his mind returned to the conversation he and Kyori had and he lost his concentration reverting back to his human form. As tears fell down his face. “Why am I like this!”Aeterna screamed as he fell to his knees.
He had the love of a wonderful man that would do anything for him, and he loved him back. So why in the world would he harbor these feelings of inadequacy? Why would he let them get in his way? Why couldn't he make himself understand that they were both warriors, and there as a chance of getting hurt? Why could he not come to terms with the fact that Kyori had to kill him?
There were so many things that he hated about himself right now that he couldn't come to terms with himself, and the events that have lead to this situation. Tears still fell down his face as he stood back up and looked into the forest. He would never find his answers if he didn't come to terms with the fact that Kyori doesn't need him to protect him. He knew that Kyori had to kill him or he would have lost his life to him.
He took a deep breath as he closed his eyes, and calmed himself. He knew Kyori was more powerful than him and didn't need his help. He didn't need his protection, but that didn't mean that he wouldn't let him protect him. They were lovers, and that would never change. No matter what, but he still needed to come to terms with his own inadequacies.
His life has been never ending, and from the moment he fell in love he knew that he would never be the same. However, he also had the securing of having Aide with him. Now he was himself, and nothing more. He felt alone for the first time, and it scared him, but he was not alone. Kyori was here with him, and he would be with him always. Aeterna needed to overcome his problems if he was to ever free himself from the shackles of insecurity. He started to look within himself to find the answers. Blocking out the rest of the world he just sat there concentrating on his internal conflict.
“Well well well, what do we have here,” a familiar voice filled the area around Aeterna, “a little lost phoenix so far from home. Come now why the long face?” the voice mocked.
Aeterna was finally starting to calm down, but then a voice echoed through the forest and his blood ran cold. He couldn't believe that his worst fear had come to this island. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around to see where Samael was standing. When he found him he sat up in an instant and just stared at him. His body was shaking slightly as he took a couple of steps back. “Why are you here?” Aeterna asked in a shaky voice.
“Why am I here?” Samael said as he stepped through the bushes with a grin on his face. “Well it’s quite simple, I’m here for you,” he said with a wink. Now standing in front of Aeterna he took a few more steps towards Aeterna all the while with a wicked grin on his face. “Tell me Aeterna, are you tired of being in his shadow? You know you’ll never be adequate, so I’ve come to relieve you of that sorrow.”
Aeterna was taken back by Samael's words. Why would he be here for him? He already had the chance to kill him, but yet here he was standing before him. Would he try to kill him this time? Or was he here for a different reason? Samael was right in front of him. He was not making any aggressive movements, but his smile was telling Aeterna that something was wrong. When he took two more steps toward him Aeterna took two steps back. Then the words that came from his mouth hit the Shadow Phoenix hard. Was he really only existing in Kyori’s shadow? Was he nothing more than a useless being that couldn't do anything more than look at the back of the one he loved?
Aeterna shook his head. Kyori has told him time after time that he loved him for who he was, and that he didn’t have to change. He was a special person and that he was strong. Though did Kyori really believe the words he spoke to Aeterna, or were they just empty words to keep him close?
“My sorrow is my burden to bare. I don’t need you to relieve it from me. Now go” Aeterna said as he closed his eyes. He didn’t want to be a burden on anyone, but yet he didn’t want to sacrifice his life to this man. No matter if he could relieve him of his problems.
“You don’t sound convincing to me Aeterna,” Samael spoke as he took a few more steps towards Aeterna. “I can help you remove all that doubt that is plaguing your mind. It will be easy and swift. Aren’t you tired of being inadequate? I have a proposition for you. Come with me and I shall give you what you need to surpass others around you, all I ask is something small in return.”
Aeterna was trying his best to not allow Samael’s words get to him. He was trying to convince himself that he could conquer his demons on his own, but the Dark ones offer was so tempting. He knew this would hurt Kyori more than anything else in the world. But peace just sounded so good to him right now. He didn’t move when Samael came closer to him. Aeterna closed his eyes and thought. He didn’t want more power, in the sense that he would be stronger than Kyori. He just wanted to feel like he was worthy of the affection that Kyori felt for him. Though at the same time this one decision would cause him to lose the one he loved all for power.
“I...I…” Aetern began to speak, but he was having a fight within himself. Should he go with the Dark one, or try and find a better path? He was fighting with himself. In more than one way. “Why would you want to help me? All you want to do is destroy the world. There is no reason to trust…” Aeterna stopped there not knowing what else to say. He just hoped Samael would leave him alone. So he wouldn’t do anything stupid.
“Do you honestly think Kyori will ever see you as an equal? He pities you, he knows you’ll never be on par with him or the others and might I say it is quite horrible how he keeps dragging you along telling you lies to make you feel better about yourself. You’ve trained, you have regained strength and yet look at you,” Samael spoke stepping closer, closing the gap between them. “All you have to do is surrender to me and I shall give you what it is you need to overcome your doubt. Kyori will never truly love someone who cannot love himself. I will help you because you are no threat to me either way.” Samael smirked. Aeterna would be his ticket to Kyori. He extended his hand towards Aeterna and looked at him. “The choice is yours.”
Aeterna was on the brink of tears with Samael’s words. Kyori pitied him? Was he that much of a hinderance that his love would never see him as an equal? Does Kyori only tell him what he wants to hear to keep him by his side? Was he manipulating him from the start? So many different questions were now causing him anguish. Tears started to fall down his face as he opened his eyes to look at the Dark one. Samael had to be wrong. There would be no way that the man he loved would do such a thing. He had trained as much as the others, but he didn’t have the strength to match up to any of them. Even the servants of Auro were stronger than he was. Aeterna was nothing compared to his companions.
Aeterna didn’t pay any attention to Samael as he closed the gap between them. He didn’t move nor did he even care. If what he had told him was true then his life was not worth anything. The last remark was like a being punched in the gut. He was helping him out of pity as well. Did everyone pity the likes of him? Samael was right. Kyori could never truly love someone like him. They were polar opposites, and no matter how close they are with their words and how intimate they are with one another it was still a fact. Kyori could do so much better than him. He was utterly defeated. He had no will to live anymore. Reaching out his hand hesitantly. He didn’t know if he was making the right decision or not, his hand stopped three inches from Samael’s.
Samael’s eyes narrowed on the extended hand of Aeterna. With a serpent like quickness, his hand latched around Aeterna’s and the air filled with his menacing cackle. Threads of energy began to snake up Aeterna’s body restricting his movement and causing him pain.
“Fool,” Samael said, “You are but one of the final pieces to resurrect the dark god, and now with you in my possession Kyori will submit to my will. Your pathetic doubt has cost you dearly.”
Samael summoned a syringe that he used to stick in the extended arm of Aeterna, drawing the beautiful blood of the shadow phoenix before both men vanished. When they reappeared, they were in Samael’s lair. Amon was still constricted and he had multiple cut on his body. Etrama really did have fun. Perhaps he would have even more fun with the shadow phoenix.
Samael’s servants went to work binding Aeterna to the table using powerful wards. The braces that restricted his movement would prove to be defiantly strong against any attempt to break them, unless an outside source somehow damaged them, or the wards were removed. Samael grabbed Aeterna by the chin and smiled.
“I can’t wait to see the look on Kyori’s face when he sees that you offered your hand to me freely. Can you imagine the pain, the hurt? Get some rest, you’ll need it,” Samael stated before kissing Aeterna rather bluntly, releasing his chin and leaving the room. Aeterna and Amon could see each other as they were in the same room across from each other.
Aeterna was not paying any attention so when Samael's hand wrapped around his eyes grew and the laughter filled the air as a an energy thread wrapped itself around him and restricted his movements. The strings seemed to made out of a material that caused his skin to burn and caused him pain. His face twisted in that pain as Samael spoke. Aeterna was shocked by what Samael said and knew that he had made a horrible mistake. He didn't say a word as the dark one pulled blood from his arm, and then they disappear and now he was in the enemy hands.
Aeterna saw that he was not the only 'guest’ that had been invited to this horrible place. He saw that Amon was lying unconscious on a table. He was chained to the table nude, and he looked like he had been raped. This only made his situation worse, but he was unable to fight back even if he wanted to. He was not even putting up a fight. He only wished that they would kill him, or that he could take his own life. His worst fear was realized. Samael was going to use him to get to Koyri, and force him to do his bidding. His tears fell more as Samael's men went to work securing him to the table.
As Aeterna was bound to the table in the same fashion as Amon though his clothing remained on him. All he could do was watch as they used ward’s that would not allow him to be able to escape. Then Samael approached him as soon as his servants were done and grabbed a hold of his chin with a gentle yet firm grip that wouldn't let Aeterna turn his head. Then when Samael spoke all of the color from his face, as he continued to cry. He once again would caused Kyori pain, and now he would be unable to apologise for his actions. Then the dark one kissed him. Aeterna didn't expect this and he gave Samael a nasty look as he released his chin.
“Samael you bastard. Just kill me now.” Aeterna said as Samael left the room. Knowing that if he lived he would be used to force Kyori to do whatever Samael wished. When the dark one left the room the shadow phoenix was left alone with only his thoughts as company. He knew he had betrayed not only his friends but the man he loved to his own insecurities. He wanted to die. He didn't want to be a burden on Kyori since Samael was going to use him to get to the spirit dragon. Closing his eyes he tried to free himself from the restraints that held him down.
Amon started to regain his senses because of someone screaming that he wanted to die. The voice sounded familiar, but he was still to out of it to know who it was. As he slowly opened his eyes he looked around the room, and he saw the source of the voice. It was the Shadow Phoenix. He tried to move his body and a sharp pain radiated through his very being. He cringed as he moaned in pain. Eterna had really had his fun with him, but he doubted that it would end with just one session. He was weak, but that didn’t stop him from looking in Aeterna’s direction. He could tell that he was crying, though because of the Phoenix’s healing factor he wouldn't be able to tell if he had been injured. Oh how he wished he had that ability.
“Wishing for death would only make the one you love cry. He has already lost you once. I don’t think he could handle losing you again. Without you he would be lost in this world.” Amon said as he struggled with his own problem. He had just been raped by a man and he was not really in the mood for this, but it seemed Aeterna was in worse shape than he was at the moment. “Even if we are left to our fates we must accept that truth. Our loved ones will be the ones hurt if we don’t try our best to survive.”
Aeterna opened his eyes when Amon began to speak. He looked over at the poor man that looks as if he had been beaten. Though he did wonder why he was naked? Aeterna could only look at Amon with a look of melancholy. How would he understand what he was going through? He has hurt Kyori more than once, and he hurt him once more. “How can one not wish for death when one hurts the one he loves. Over and over again. I am nothing more that a burden to him,”Aeterna said as he looked at the nephlim that was bound along with him.
Amon weakly chuckled as he smiled at the phoenix. He knew all too well the feeling of being a burden to another. He has felt it since he had met the group of Mystics. He has felt like he was a burden to them, but Ocella didn’t care about that. She loved him with all of his problems. That is what has helped him through his insecurities. “Aeterna. It doesn't matter if you believe yourself to be a burden to the one you love. As long as you try your hardest you will not have to worry about hurting them. They will love you no matter your flaws. That is what it means to love another. You should…” Amon was cut short by a portal opening inside of the room, and Etrama entering the chamber.
“Well, well looks like my master was successful in capturing you Aeterna. It also looks like you have regained Consciousness young nephilim. Well it seems I will get to play with you again, but first I must report to my master. Then I will see what I will be doing next.” Etrama said as he reached up and touched Amons chest gently. “So go ahead and talk. I will be right back.” Eterna said as he walked out of the room.
Amon shook when Eterna touched him with a disgusted look on his face. Aeterna saw the reaction and it hit him why he was not wearing any clothing. It seemed that Amon had been toyed with by Eterna. All he could do was look at him with a worried look on his face. Was he trying to comfort him even though he had been violated? “Amon what…” Aeterna began to say but Amon cut him off. “I don’t want to speak on it. Just remember what I said.” Amon said as he closed his eyes.
Eterna walked into his master's study, and walked over to his desk. Placing down the second half of the black stone in front of Samael. “I have finished my little errand, and had a little fun while I was at it. I also see that you were able to capture the Phoenix with little struggle.” Etrama said as he leaned over the desk looking his love in the eyes. “So what is your next move my Love?”
Samael smiled when Etrama entered into his study. He stood up after the black stone was placed on his desk and moved around to Etrama embracing him, inhaling his scent and nibbling playfully on his ear.
“There’s one more piece of the puzzle,” he began his hand moved up and down Etrama’s body, a single finger ripping open Etrama’s shirt as Samael seemed to eye him hungrily. “I need the blood of a dragon and I am stuck. If I go after the spirit dragon I could lose my leverage and I very well may be unsuccessful. If I go after the sound dragon I could capture him, but he is slightly stronger willed than the nephilim and phoenix, not to mention you’ve angered his boy toy,” Samael stated placing a trail of kisses along Etrama’s jawline. “No doubt he’s warned him by now. I have a plan though, one that will involve Darkholm’s spot being replaced. For now go and have fun with the phoenix and the nephilim,” Samael finished leaving hickies along Etrama’s neck.
He turned and moved towards the bookcase grabbing a book from the shelf and slamming it onto his desk. “I will call upon you when I need you my love, but do enjoy the new gift I brought for you.”
Etrama moaned as Samael nibbled on his ear, and moved his hands up and down his body. His body shivered with each brush of his hands on his body. He has been yearning for his touch for a while. Samael ripped open his shirt he wanted Samael to touch him more. He listened to his love speak, and knew good and well he had a conundrum on his hands. Either dragon would work for his master plan, but which to go after. As soon as Samael started to kiss him he raised his hands and placed them on his lovers hips. Etrama moaned once more when Samael sucked on his neck. He so wanted to throw his love down and have sex with him, but his master told him to go and have fun with the two prisoners. His master seemed to have a plan on how to acquire what he wants.
Etrama released his master and love and smiled at him. He knew that he was busy. He didn’t mind since he loved him, and he allows him to enjoy himself in more than one way. “I will go and enjoy my new toy, and I will await your call.” Etrama said as he walked over to him and kissed him deeply. As soon as he finished he left the room with a smile on his face. He was going to enjoy himself with Aeterna.
Aeterna thought on what Amon said as he heard the door open and Etrama returned to the room. His smile was large and he had a lustful look in his eyes as he moved over in between Amon and Aeterna. He eyed them both as he knew he was going to play with one of them. He wanted to see how Aeterna tasted, but he wanted to play more with Amon as well. Choices, choices. A sly smile formed on his face as he wanted to see if he could force Aeterna into consensual sex. By forcing himself on Amon. Maybe the phoenix would give himself up to save the man beside him. Turning to face Amon he placed a hand on his abdomen in a sensual manner. He slowly moved his hand lower as Amon closed his eyes and his body shook with disgust, and horror.
Aeterna watched as Etrama began to touch Amon one more time as the nephilim shook from his touch. Aeterna struggled against his restraints as he tried to free himself to help Amon. He didn’t want to see the man suffer more at the hands of this mad man. “Amon!” Aeterna said trying to get the wraiths attention. Aeterna had been trying to come to terms with what he had done, but he still had his problems, but he wouldn’t add watching Amon get raped right in front of him. “Leave him alone!”
Etrama smiled as he heard Aeterna’s voice. He stopped him movement and turned to face the phoenix. He Looked at him with ravenous eyes as he moved over to where the Phoenix was shackled. “Are you wanting to take his place?” He questioned as he placed his hand on Aeterna’s shoulder and slowly moved his hand to his intended victim's chest then down to his abdomen. Feeling the man's body shudder under his touch.
Aeterna was not wanting to really answer the madman's question, but he knew what the alternative was and that was worse than what he was going to face. “I don't want to watch you torture Amon any more than you already have. So yes I am willing to take his place.” Aeterna said as he only could guess what was going to become of him. Though he was not aware this is what the wraith wanted from the beginning. He closed his eyes for a moment to prepare himself for what was more than likely to come his way.
Etrama looked at Aeterna and nodded his head. “Then you consent to allow me to do as I please. No fighting back, but you are allowed to scream as much as you want.” Eterna said as he moved to the side of the table flipping a switch to move the bed into an upright position. He was going to remove the Phoenix's clothing, but he needed to make sure that the ward’s stayed in place.
Amon’s eyes opened when the touching stopped and he looks and listened to everything that happened. He was shocked that Aeterna would sacrifice himself to save him, but he wouldn't allow it. “Aeterna you don't have to do this for me. I have already been…” but before Amon could finish his sentence Aeterna spoke up. “I will not sit by and watch you have to go through this in your current state. Besides you are right. No matter what happens we will always be there for one another.” Aeterna said as the bed moved. “Close your eyes. You don't have to watch.” Aeterna commented as he was sure this was going to be more than he could handle. His powers were being blocked, and that meant his healing factor was not going to work. He only hoped he would not die in the process. There was so many things he needed to tell Kyori. Like how sorry he was for what he had done and put him through because of his self doubt.
The sentiment that his two victims shared sickened Etrama, but he would allow them this moment. He walked over to a table in the room and picked put a tray of utensils, as well as a knife to help him play with the Phoenix. Imagining the pain he was going to inflict before satisfying himself sent a tingling sensation down his spine. When he returned they had finished their little conversation and Eterna smiled wickedly at Aeterna. It has been a while since he has been able to torture someone on a physical level. Auro disagreed with his methods of pleasure and play.
Taking the knife he walked in front of Aeterna he proceeded to cut away his shirt. Revealing his muscular body underneath. He lightly traced the tip of the blade over his chest down his abdomen to the hem of his pants. Watching as Aeterna's muscles contracted to the touch of the blade as if they were trying to escape it touch. Then he began cutting away the phoenix's pants. Once Etrama was done Aetrena was completely revealed. The wraith could see a slight shake in the young man's body as if he was scared of what was going to happen. This only made Eterna smile more as he placed the knife on the table and he looked over the different utensils that he had at his disposal. While Etrama was looking at what he had to use on him Aeterna decided that as long as he kept his attention on him and off of Amon he would play along, but only to a point.
Picking up a small shape knife he returned his attention to his target. “Well shall we get started?” He asked but didn't wait for a response before taking the knife and cutting into Aeterna’s tender flesh. The blade cut into the soft tissue if the Phoenix's abdomen. The blade slowly cut his flesh, and Aeterna bit his lip as the blade cut into his skin. He was not going to give Eterna the pleasure on hearing his scream right off the bat. Etrama was not happy to have the Phoenix holding back his scream, but there was plenty of time for him to break. The laceration bleed and the wrath bent down and licked a line of blood from his abdomen, and then moved his tongue up to his chest.
He pulled himself away from the shadow phoenix with a smile on his face. His new little toy tasted as good as the Nephilim. Touching Aeterna's chest with his hand he decided to cause the Phoenix even worse pain. Taking the knife he ran the blade over the skin of his chest slightly just barely enough to cut the skin. He then moved the blade around in the same manner all around his play toys chest. Blood seeped from the cuts as Aeterna continued to try and hold in his scream.
Eterna move to the side to bring the table back down vertically. He removed his torn shirt and threw it to the ground, and then removed his pants and undergarments. Letting them fall to the floor placing the knife down he then picked up a different kind of knife. The blade was covered in a odd energy. As Soon as he grabbed the blade he climbed on top of Aeterna and straddled his hips. The knife was in his hand but he took his free hand and placed it on Aeterna’s chest and rubbed the blood that was seeping from his wounds around. He then leaned against the man's bloodied chest and looked him in the eyes. Without warning he kissed Aeterna and didn't get a fight out of him. In fact the Phoenix returned the kiss. Not with passion, but he kissed back nonetheless. Etrama was caught a little off guard, but he knew the Phoenix wanted to keep his attention on him.
While they were kissing Etrama stabbed the knife into Aeterna's side. This time there was no way to stop from screaming. The muffled cry was music to Etrama's ears. He then twisted the knife the was embedded in the Phoenix's side as he continued the kiss and listen to the scream. The knife in Aeterna’s side felt like it was poisoned. The energy from the knife surged through his body, and it hurt like hell. It felt like his insides were on fire. Every part of his body hurt, and he was unable to control the pain that he was feeling. His body cunvulsed in pain and Aeterna was no longer able to think as Etrama continued the kiss. Once Etrama finished the kiss he looked down at Aeterna with a smile as he looked at his face distorted in pain. He knew the poison wouldn't last too long, but he would enjoy himself nonetheless.
He got off of Aeterna and removed his last piece of clothing that was covering him, and because of the jerking he did cut the Phoenix a couple of times. Though not deep enough to really be a problem. He then got back on top of him, and as soon as he got everything ready he began working Aeterna over.
Once he was finished he looked at the Phoenix who had passed out halfway through his playing with him that he finished without having a fight. Though Aeterna looked ten times worse that Amon did when he was finished, but he did hurry through his treatment of the Nephilim. Though he would be able to play with him some more now. He wanted to see the angels face when she realized what all he had done to her husband. Though he wanted to know the relationship between Ryan and Amon. He figured this would be a good of time as any to force Amon to tell him what that relationship was. Moving off of Aeterna he moved over to Amon to torture him till he told him what he wanted to know. Pulling a knife from his collection of tools he proceeded to slowly force Amon to talk.
Samael walked into the torture room as Etrama was getting ready to attempt to force Amon to tell him something. Samael was quite shocked by what he saw. Etrama had a lot to get off his chest it seemed, but they still needed to be alive for the exchange to work.
“Etrama, I said have fun with them not maim them,” Samael said as he walked over to Aeterna, looking over the phoenix as he managed to heal the heavy wounds, but leaving the minor ones. He did the same to Amon before turning and glaring at Etrama. “This is unacceptable,” he stated, “they are no good to be unconscious or dead, now go and find something to do, I have a meeting with Death.”
Samael sighed as he placed a firm hand on Etrama’s shoulder to let him know that he was simply on edge as this summoning could go quite wrong and he wanted to make sure everything was right. “Guards, ensure that the two subjects are clean and dressed properly. Thank you.”
As Etrama was about to begin asking Amon about his relationship Samael had entered the room and yelled at him for going too far. This shocked Etrama as he lowered his head and backed away. He really wasn't thinking of the exchange just releasing his pent up feelings. He hated being stagnant for so long, and the time he had spent with Auro had made him feel stir crazy. Though the time with Samael helped he still didn't get to satisfy his need to see people suffer.
Keeping his head down as Auro healed both the Phoenix, and the Nephilim he just waited till he was dismissed. He never thought Samael would yell at him for this, but he guessed he went a little too far. As soon as his master was done healing the two he yelled at him once more, and told him to find something to do. He was going to be summoning Death. Eterna didn’t like the feeling of his love yelling at him. “As you wish Master Samael.” He said as he bowed and turned around. He was about to leave when he felt a strong hand grab his shoulder.
The action made him feel a little better since his Master was more than likely worried about the summoning he was about to perform. Etrama didn’t hold this against Samael. He knew he went a little too far with the Phoenix, but at least he felt relieved. All of his tension was gone. That was the only bonus of this whole situation. “I hope your summoning has no hiccups. If you need me I will be in my room.” Etrama said as he left the room without turning around and without saying another word. He was still hurt from what just happened.
Amon watched as his insane captor was about to ask him a question, and looked like he wanted an answer, but before anything could happen Samael entered the room. What surprised him was that the dark one was yelling at his lover about the damage he had inflicted on both him and Aeterna. Granted it did his heart good to see the mad mad get what he deserved, but in the end they were still pawns in Samael’s little game. If they could just find a way to escape.
When Samael healed Aeterna and then moved to him. When he placed his hand on him he could feel the dark energy healing him, but in the end he didn’t heal him completely. That was to be expected. Amon tried struggling against his bonds but he was still too weak to break them. The infernal heat was sapping all of his strength. Then some of Samael’s servants began to clean him, and dress him in a robe. Making him presentable for some reason.
Aeterna had passed out from the pain just as he was being raped. Luckily for him he was not conscious for whatever Etrama did to him. However, he could feel an energy entering his body forcing him to wake up. As he opened his eyes he looked into the face of Samael. His eyes were wide as he looked into his eyes. Why was he healing him? Was the only thought that crossed his mind as he didn’t heal all of the wounds, but enough of them to make it where he could move again. He then moved onto Amon and did the same thing. Aeterna didn’t know what to do or what was going on until Samael yelled a bit at Etrama. He mentioned that he was going to be speaking to death, and it made no sense to him. Some of the dark ones other servants started to clean the blood from his person, and dress him in a robe. He guessed that this was the only outfit that they could put on him without freeing him. If it weren't for the shackles, and the wards he would have been able to escape long ago. All he could do now was wait, and see what happens.
