"You lied to me, Iskander."
She said softly, dark, deep eyes meeting Kayang's gaze.
The long imprisonment has made it increasingly difficult for him to distinguish the boundaries between reality and dreams. Sometimes he would wonder whether he would rot in the darkness.
But he knew that this would never be the case. In fact, compared to what will happen in the future, it seems that quiet decay in the darkness is not that bad.
But now, he enjoyed seeing Nifitari even in his dreams.
"You also lied to Itzara."
Silence tells everything, Kayang's heart was like an open window to her, and there was nothing to hide, so he just looked at Nifitari, and she looked back at him.
"In numbness, my people created the new god, we call her the Great Hunger, her first cry burned our empire, her first breathing and sucking away our souls, she seized those souls in the darkness, and it is still the case... So I dedicate the souls of others to her, their pain relieved my trauma, their wailing before their death is my lullaby to help An Meng, this is my destiny, even if I have escaped so far, I understand what loneliness is, Kayang, and I can still perceive the loneliness of others. Your soul is too lonely, and one day you will die because of this."
“I’m not alone.”
"Your former albino teacher is dead, and the idiot who doesn't know why you are following you, and the brain-related idiot is dead, only the fallen man who was enslaved by you with witchcraft is still alive, and a demon wearing the skin of a beast that almost killed you."
Silence returned to Kayang's lips again.
"I have you."
Hearing this, the Dark Spirit Smiled.
Nifitari was born centuries ago, and she lived even longer than all of Kayan's brethren, but for an Aida, she had just passed her adolescence.
"Yes, you still have me, but please don't pretend that's enough. You are not a human, even if you still retain human emotions... You are a weapon, and you should go to the battlefield with your brothers. This is your innate instinct. If you lose it, you will be useless. This is why you welcomed Fire Fist and Uriwan to join, and this is why you insist on saving Fakus and his men. This is why you obey Abaddon's orders. Your heart is polluted by loneliness. Brotherhood is the only purpose of your creation."
"Maybe."
This is not the first time Kayang has heard of it, and such a conversation between the two is very common.
"You started to resist, and finally started to resist the loneliness that troubled your heart, but is that enough?"
Every word she said attracted Kayang deeply and fascinated her.
Then, the Dark Spirit clan leaned in gently, fiddling with the crystal claws in his hand, making a faint striking sound.
“Is this enough?”
She asked again.
"You were born for your brothers, and every weapon needs to be used, right? No one has commanded you now, Kayang, the Emperor no longer gives orders from the throne, ordering the children to conquer the planet in his name, and the One-Eye King no longer looks at the abyss of the sea of ​​souls, and asks you to fall with him, and Abaddon doesn't need you anymore, he has the capital to trade with Aliman."
"I am my master."
"What a straightforward, stupid pride, I'm urging you to seek unity, but you think I encourage you to accept slavery, unity, and join a more meaningful group... When you shake off the shackles of the past, you are truly free."
"I was originally free."
She stood closer, and anyone else who dared to contact Kayang like her at that moment would be ruthlessly destroyed.
But she belonged to him, his Nifitari, so he allowed her to gently brush her fingertips that still had a sharp blade in her gloves across her cheek.
At this moment, there was no desire between the two different races, but only simple and selfless closeness.
"If you're really free."
She hugged Kayang's neck and whispered softly.
"Then I will no longer dream of wild wolves."
Kayang's blood became cold.
"Do you know what you are?"
Qianzi shook his head speechlessly.
"You are a warrior away from the battlefield, a student who has lost his teacher, and a teacher who has no student. You are determined to survive, but living without life is no different from death... If you continue to live like this, allowing loneliness to gather without resistance, one day, you will become like other dead people standing in your shadow, or even worse, you will become another Yitzara, your most cherished, poor Yitzara (sister of Kayan)."
Kayan gritted her teeth, but her heartbeat became more and more intense. Itzala was the only softness in his heart except Nifitari.
Nifitari turned a blind eye to it and continued with a smile:
"Poor Yitzara, floating in the water tank for survival, staring at the grave that buried her, never knowing what hope is... But she has reason to be Enamixis, otherwise she can only accept the fate of dementia and premature death as a mortal, but why do you step into the eternal cage?"
"I..."
"Shh, there's one more thing."
Her eyes caught Kayang's gaze.
"You are changing, I can feel the surging of your soul, you know, defecting to Abaddon can't completely get you out of the wolf in your dreams, but they can."
"They...they are too mysterious to believe."
"You just wait and see."
Nifitari's smile disappeared, she took back the crystal claws, and then gently licked the sweat dripping left by Kayang on her fingertips in a very elegant manner.
"That's it, we'll see you again."
She whispered, the two of them met for the last time, but she refused to communicate again, but turned around and flew away.
"Nifetari—"
Kayang opened his eyes, but it was still dark.
Dead silence enveloped him, only his slight breathing sound.
Suddenly, he noticed his side, turned his head and looked at the darkness on his right side.
"You're here again."
Darkness and silence remained permeated.
"Have he discovered that secret?"
Kayang seemed to be talking to himself.
“My choice?”
He let out a bitter laugh, like the sound of the owls in the dark night.
“Do I have any choice?”
Then, his face suddenly turned and his eyebrows were squeezed into a ball.
"Are you sure you really need to do this? This will only deepen his suspicion. He is not stupid. There are so many things that are connected together. Even an idiot should see the tricks."
More than ten seconds later, the imprisoned Thousand Son Wizard sighed lightly.
"I'll listen to the call, and you'd better remember to fulfill your promises..."
