Chapter 39: Don’t!

Brandon found Pan in a dungeon.

Before a mosaic, trying to solve a puzzle. There was something strange about Pan, but Brandon could not point his finger at it.

"Why did you come?" Pan asked. He did not have the patience to talk with Brandon now. He could sense something appetizing from the other side.

Something primal, something strong.

"What have you done?" Brandon asked. He was a healer; the signs of an illness were clear to be seen.

"What did I do?" Pan asked, as he giggled. He was so tired of being underestimated. He had been weak his whole life.

His eyes had never seen better. He felt the fire under his skin.

But this time, he did not feel the need to give it to Brandon. He wanted that fire for himself. Brandon was going to try to keep him weak.

That was what he had always wanted, was it not?

"Pan… talk to me," Brandon said, as he made a step towards his soulmate.
