The Godslingers X 2: Chapter 1

Xaviara's POV
I spied on my sister's greatest enemy, Josh Mclean. When the time was ripe, I kidnapped him. Just like that.

I licked my lips. Easy as pie.

Watching with bliss at Josh's torture, I turned to Nadine. "What is next on our plan, sister?" I asked her, as she continued to whip the son of light.

"The next generation of rats will, of course, find him." Nadine's smirk showed me she had formed a dark and intelligent plan. "They will find him in the deepest part of Tartarus, in the prison where the oldest enemies of the gods thirst for revenge."

In the prison cell, Josh's eyes widened and muffled-scream. Nadine turned to him and struck his already-frail body with her fire whip. "Keep quiet, you fool, or you'll earn sweet torture, or left in the middle of a field, helpless, bound in chains, and Xaviera will send a calamity upon you."

I held out my palm and a large tongue of fire leaped out, five feet tall that burned the metal ceiling. Josh whimpered, tears forming in his golden eyes. Nadine made the whip into ashes and locked the cell, while I chuckled softly. I just loved seeing a person in pain. I mouthed a mocking "bye-bye" and shadow-traveled with Nadine to the glorious dining room, where we sat down to eat.

Nadine pursed her lips when she picked up her silver spoon. "I remembered the day I rose." She spoke, eyes flashing red. "A servant, with his filthy paws, had dined here like a king celebrating." Rolling my eyes because of hearing the tale before, I still listened.

"Drunk by MY wine, he groggily stood up and explored this palace. He touched MY things, things that are not worthy to be stroked by a mud man." Nadine stabbed a bacon with her dagger. "Then, he came across my flute. He played it, thinking that it was his, but it was not." My sister daintily ate the bacon with her dagger and chuckled. "What a surprise it was for him when I suddenly appeared."

I ate quietly, eyes staring straight into my sister's black ones.

"I incinerated him. And all of his kind who had stepped into my temple proclaiming it was theirs." She smiled cruelly at me. "Xaviera, oh how we're going to enjoy the game we're about to play."

An identical smile played on my lips. "Yes. Finally, we will succeed."
