The Lust for Power: Chapter 9

I recounted our moments where we killed countless of monsters. I remembered how I stood alone, slaughtering a legion of monsters and stood victory.

Now, I'm lying here motionless. I can't do a thing, and it gets cold each passing hour. I started to shiver. It seems like the darkness and the cold were my obstacles to generate light. I tried to catch my hand a faint light, in that timeframe I could see myself still in silver bonds, but this time the ropes seemed bigger, it looks like it's absorbing my power. But it only last for a few seconds and it faded.

Fuuka seemed to sense my power emanating faintly from the room. She stormed to the room and she caught sight of me.

She walked towards me, picked me up and throw me to the wall. "So, you still have some powers left in you, huh?"

She's wrong. That's the only remaining power I had left, and now it's been drained away. She kicked me on my ribs, and I muffled scream.

"Nyx!" Fuuka called, just then, Nyx appeared in front of her. "This Josh guy still have some powers!"

Nyx studied me. She picked me up and I whimpered. "No, he's exhausted the last of his powers. He's harmless now. Just make sure he doesn't get exposed to light, ok?"

"Yes, ma'am." Then she walked back outside.

"So, has the surprise ready yet?" Nyx asked.

"Oh yes, We have: 4 scythian dracaenas en route. I also sent a Lernaean Hydra along with a Nemean Lion. But first, let's sent the dracaena's first, let's see how they compete with that."

"Oh, and one more thing." Nyx said to Fuuka. "If this boy wants to eat, let him have some, but don't untie his bonds."

I struggled meekly with the bonds. I'm really hungry now, I wish I could eat.

Just then, Fuuka brought me some french fries, and she told me to eat it with my mouth. I muffled words, and she seemed to understand. She ripped my gag off and I screamed in pain.

"Fuuuuuka..." I murmured. "Why diiiid youuuu do this?"

She didn't answer. She just grabbed a handful of french fries and shoved it in my mouth. I swallowed the food and she left.

Wow, that's a short snack. Then, I fell asleep.

In my dreams, I saw Kari, Mikmak and Evan. They're on their quest to save me. I wanted to tell them what happened.
