house of secrets

"Sister, leave him be."said another female voice as a flash off light fell on iodine's palm."Hello, nira."said iodine as he continued walking.

Nira wore a long priest like robe that seemed to be made of purple light she had long white hair with strands of black hair in it.

"You certainly have a favorite."said nuara."I'm a few months older than you two."said iodine."Not exactly a few months. It was a lot longer."said nosra.

"Anyway, sister, I wasn't going to do anything."said naura."Yeah, right, you lie terribly."said nira.

"Who are these two?"asked Ryo."Don't mind them, just two siblings arguing."said iodine.Iodine reached the last step as he stepped into the hall.

The hall lit up, revealing a large room that seemed like it would be the main hall for an event.A giant table sat in the middle of the hall.

With fifteen tables sitting around it, the halls were filled with many paintings that Ryo couldn't help but stare at.

Ryo' p.o.v

I was still confused about everything. I looked around as the giant knight placed me down.I saw several paintings on the walk of various different people, objects, and creatures.

One of the paintings stood out to me it was of five small children standing in a swamp like area covered in blood.

The children looked no older than four, and their eye's were lifeless.I unconsciously walked over to the paintings, but I was blown back by a wave of malicious voudaju.

"Stay away from those. You have no right to appeoach those, "I heard nosra say as the paintings vanished.

She seemed angry, and I couldn't understand why, but the knight and her supposed sister grabbed stopping a purple blade of light from peircing my neck.

"Nosra, stop, it's going to be okay,"I heard her supposed sister say.The knight shrunk to normal height and picked the shaken girl up.

He then handed her to her sister as he he gave her a signal.The sister then vanished into a shadowy portal as the knight turned to me.

"I'm sorry she gets defensive of strangers looking at certain pictures."said the knight as he extended a hand towards me.

I was now suspicious not only was I in a suspicious place but those paintings were strange and that girls' reactions led me to believe I have gotten into something dangerous.

Nonetheless, I accepted the knights hand as he helped me up."I suppose an outsider like me won't be able to get an explanation."I said half jokingly.

"You can get any explanation you want just not about anything that took place before the master was nine years old that information will be revealed on his own terms."replied the knight.

"Was he a child soldier?"I asked in a serious tone.No, it's complicated. "The masters childhood was not terrible he has great parents, but despite that, where he grew up."The knight stopped mid sentence as I immediately got the message.

"You said he has great parents, meaning their alive."I said questionly."Yes their alive and well, but it's complicated."said the knight.

"How do I know I won't be lied to?"I asked suspiciously."You are now one of us. I am the personification of truth. I can not lie to anyone indoctrinated in the codex."said the knight.

I was still suspicious he must have known this as he then went on to say, "we can also form a curse contract."

"Okay, I'll form one with angelo. Can you authorize one?" i asked, expecting a no afteall no slave can will it's master a crazy statement since I was now also one.

"You won't have to ask he'll naturally set it up. Your trist afteall is important. I said you can know anything after he's nine, and I meant anything."said the knight.

Just then, the giant castle doors flung open as angelo walked in a small frown on his face.I immediately rushed over to him, grabbing him by the collar.

I expected to be flung into a wall, but he didn't even react as he stared at me."Where am I an where the fuck is this place."I shouted at him.

But his tace was unmoving as he shubbed past me and rushed up the stairs ." I'll be back in a few minutes."he said in a hurry.

"Is he actually going to check on her? This must be a show. He must think I'm stupid enough to fall for his false affection to his slaves."

I got up a shubbed past the knight as I sat in the chair.As I sat down, i felt a hand wrap around my neck.

I was then slammed to the ground.I wrenched in pain as the knight stood over me."You are lucky it was just me. If you did that to anyone else, I'd be cleaning your guts off the floor."said the knight.

He said it almost childishly, but I didn't notice that as my face filled with anger.Fire surrounded my body as I rushed towards the knight.

He grabbed my fist and punched me in the stomach. My eyes dilated in the back of my head as I fell unconscious.

"Why is Elliot not doing this? He's much more snobbish than me. Hopefully nosra doesn't thriw a temper tantrum."
