Ryhem

12 days later...

Staring into nothingness was Brian. Just thinking about himself and the others. His torturer preferred to use a classic whip only but she was an expert at it making it grueling for him.

Looking at the lashes on his body a tear dropped from his right eye.

He tried to blink back the tear as it was a sign of weakness and he didn't want them to know that his sanity was cracking slowly but surely. "Mm, don't be like that. You're going to be a father soon." She said, breathing down his neck

He shook violently in his chair, causing the chains to hurt him even more. Then he calmed down.

ou later. First, let's save him and his friends."

He always put innate markings on the power cores of everyone in the family. He used a curse in a good way.

3rd person on their their way to save everyone.

Ryhem Mina's great-great-great-great great-great-great-grandfather had finally found Brian.

He looked over the whole compound as he flew. He imposed his mind control over everything in the distance.

Brian felt his great-pa over him. shedding tears he looked at his torturer. "Great-pa please do not kill her!" "I have four friends here. Could you please save them?" He said, pleading. The galaxy-like purple eyes scanned over to look at Brian. A purely happy smile looked over to Brian he shuddered.

"Of course, son! Anything for you." Back where Sapphire was being tortured…

Suddenly, they stopped. Sapphire 1st-person…

I looked up. Is this another cruel kind of torture to give me false hope? Or are they just switching weapons? No… this is different. What's with those eyes? "Oh, you poor thing!" A different voice came out with mountains of worry.

He unshackled my arms and hands, making me fall face flat on the floor. My wrists started healing rapidly, although not enough. They were still pool noodles of pain. He unshackled all of our chains, making each of us fall face flat on our faces.

When he looked at Leona he frowned deeply. "I'm sorry I can't do anything." He said as he carried us on his back through a maze of walls and hallways.

It was almost as if it was a different person from someone who tortured me. I didn't even resist from a monster's grasp. I feel nothing. Yet everything is around me. I feel detached. What's going on? Is this what they were trying to achieve with us? Nothing?

No emotion nothing? I saw a light not hope but only a question. What kind of pain should I be subjected to next? At the end of the black tunnel was an army of soldiers why? I looked forward more getting unintentionally kicked in the face by Leona's dangling limbs.

Once the ever-growing light was shining upon me I saw an infinite desert. We were dropped in the sand. A sudden splatter of blood was heard and a thud. "God I couldn't stand controlling such a filthy and utterly disgusting body anymore, sorry about the rough landing."

A man of great looks stood over top of me along with Mina, she was to blame for all of this. "where is brian." I asked weakly *cough *cough *cough * cough. I almost choke on my own blood.

"What are you all doing? Get her some water and a stretcher dumb kids!!!" A medical team picked me up from the hot sand. Pain washed over me as they moved my body to the stretcher. Everything is so dark. Maybe some sleep isn't too bad…

Ryhem…

What's wrong with these Lokust people torturing kids? For weeks on end? That girl… I can't heal her I hope someone else can I'm a combat major. She can't speak her soul looks absolutely. crushed it l

That girl with the black and white hair they subjected her to the worst part of it I had only seen it in people who were trained soldiers sociopaths and people who had come under so much pain they became numb to everything, in her soul she just sat there with her skin completely pink

What happened?

My son broke out in tears.

I directly cut her stomach open and there laid the child. In my arms. I healed the mother sorry whore. Since she wants to torture my grandson, I can torture her back. Mina's presence behind me. "Uhhh, why is there a baby behind you?" She asked, pointing to the baby.

I smiled happily. "The newest addition to the family!"

Her eyes opened wide "Who-wha-how-no-wait-um-oh!" She had the realization. I dropped him off at the hospital with the rest of his friends in the same room. I had taken a couple of years off. It had been a while since I had taken a significant break from the black ops squad.

About hmmm… 227 years? I became a black ops agent when I was 100 years old so I have ranked up enough merits to permanently retire, but captain would probably beat my arse for that. I only needed 20 years of constant service to permanently retire, normally burn since the black ops captain is considered equal authority to the king.

I recently just came back from a mission. I had to put another rogue ///// in the ground permanently. They are hard to kill. (To put that into perspective, he alone could wipe a big country off of the face of the map with one large AOE attack.)

Anyway, I think Lokust can be dealt with. I just have to make sure they don't touch my family ever again. Oh yeah, I have to get another ID from the royals. I'm legally dead AGAIN. That shit gets annoying.

Damn! They're comatose "Mina!" I yelled for her even though I could just communicate through her soul. "Yes pa?" She said coming around from the corner of the hallway were I was sitting outside the room waiting for news.

"How long were they gone?" "Around 22 days. Why?" I furrowed my eyebrows. "I would say you should've said something earlier, but I know I wouldn't have answered the call," I said thinking with my brain before I did something drastic.

Y'know like a logical human being. People should try it sometimes. Would save me a lot of dirty jobs like ending wars. She nodded and went along with what I was saying. "I'll let this pass because it seems like you've punished yourself enough."

I said taking a look inside of her, seeing her past mental state crying black tears a sign of guilt.

Constant scratching and peeling skin. Another sign of self-blame and skill. I don't want any of my children to look like this. Since When did I neglect my children so much? Was it when I killed one of my sons?

I don't regret that. Abuse? That will never stand in my family. That's why I set a soul bind no matter indirectly or directly. You, are to protect and never hurt your family. That includes people you consider part of your family.

It looks like Brian developed some anger issues while I was gone. He had also killed? I need to catch up on so many thingssss. Aaaaagh I grabbed my head, thinking about how many things I needed to do when I get home. First, I have to retake my advisor position, then I have to do a bunch of other stuff

I only left the position to Mina because I hate paperwork! The doctor came out. I dashed into the room to check on Brian. He was sleeping with very pink skin. Wait. What is that? An L?

A capitalized L with a loop at the end was branded somewhere on their bodies.

That includes Brian. I burned with anger. "How could they!?" THEY MARKED CHILDREN AS THEIR PROPERTY!

What the hell??! Mina came speeding through the hallways. "What is it great-pa?" She asked me worriedly. "They branded him!" "They what?!" she yelled. 10 minutes later…

We sat in silence in the chairs, looking over them. "Best we can do is get back to normal," Mina said quietly. I nodded in agreement. "How long is it going take for them to wake?" I asked the recently ignored doctor. "I'd say around two weeks and another four months for a full recovery."

"Perfect," I said standing up. I guess I should get to another genocide. I ran out of the hospital at super speed and flew. I located the Lokust main base by following the thought trail and killing every member of lokust on the way by making them commit suicide.

As I flew city over the city I found Lokust members making them kill themselves. It was quite an amazing sight to see. Just flying city over the beautiful city taking in the amazing sights until I found a ghost city where the base was. I took every mind in the vicinity over.

Only finding Lokust members. I used a universal command. "Die"

" A loud echo resounded through the city they had planned to attack in just 6 weeks it's good that I stopped that when I could. I flew over the desert and the beautiful and shiny city's wih the blue sky reflecting off of them.

Making it look like a sea of blue. Lokust base was 8 cities out. I arrived at the hospital going immediately to the pediatric wing. I found my newest son in the newborn section. Having shared some of my life force, my newest son already had a soul imprint on him.

He was also exceptionally healthy.and rocked him in my arms. Eh I guess I'll sleep for a bit. Although I don't need it. Everything went dark...
