The Charm

I rubbed my backside. "You chased me! Why wouldn't I run from two demons chasing me?!" I got up from the wet ground, frowning at her.

"Are you what they call, Athena?" Oriana seemed to have never blinked her bright eyes seemed to look directly into my soul making me feel more violated than threatened.

I rung out my cloak twisting the fabric in my two hands. "What's it's to ya?"

Oriana never broke her gaze with me. "You will tell me what your name is at once!"

I returned her stare down with one of my own. "No." Like clock work that's when Xenneth showed up and stood on Oriana's side. "Don't worry I have just the thing." As she blew a pink dust into my face and as she did the world around me began to vibrate.

"What did you do?!" I panicked and started rubbing my eyes and taking a step back.

Xenneth started a contagion that sounded of ancient abyssal, the dust that was blown on me began to glow a neon pink and pulsed more and more with each word she spoke picking me up off the ground into mid air.

"Ahhhh! What are you doing?! What is this?!" My head shoot backwards as the spell took its full affect.

I was placed gently back down onto my feet and I hung my head low. I looked up at her with eyes glowing bright pink.

"We will ask yet once more…ARE YOU WHAT THEY CALL ATHENA?"
