Chapter 27: The ritual
The woman was very pissed by what he did , she just jumped off of him and started to fix her clothes, her face twisted in anger.
Xylon didn't feel any remorse for what he had done. He couldn't let himself be vulnerable, not even for a moment, not even with a woman.
He was still laying on the ground, yet he looked at her,she was feeling a mixture of shame and regret.
"Who are you, bitch ?," he muttered.
The woman didn't even look at him as she quickly moved on .
"You bit me , you fucking animal !" she spat, "I should have known better than to waste my time with a demon like you."
Xylon watched with a sense of detachment as the woman stormed off , her angry and frustrated energy pulsing through the air like a physical force.
It seemed as though she had never experienced such pain before.
He watched as she wiped the blood from her lips, her expression filled with a mixture of pain and frustration.
He knew that the bite had hurt her deeply, both physically and emotionally.
It was then that he heard her speak, her voice filled with a sense of sadness and regret.
"I told him," she said, "I told Arthur that accepting your soul was going to cause a lot of problems, but he did what was in his mind."
At that moment, Xylon knew that this was Akuna, the one that Arthur had tasked him with taking care of.
With a sudden realization, Xylon's anger began to boil inside of him, and he couldn't contain it any longer.
He glared at her, his words lashing out at the girl who stood before him.
"You're Akuna, aren't you?" he bellowed, his voice ringing out in the empty space around them.
The girl stopped in her tracks, her head turning slowly to face him. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked as though she had been caught off guard.
Xylon continued to stare at her, his expression cold and unforgiving.
"Who told you to do this to me?" he demanded, his voice growing louder with each passing moment.
"Who pushed you to try and be physical with me?"
She stumbled over his words, her voice barely above a whisper.
"No one pushed me to do this," she replied, her eyes still fixed on the ground. Then, she leaned in closer, her gaze meeting his.
"It's a ritual," Akuna said, her voice firm and unwavering. "A ritual for all the soul keepers. But how could a demon like you understand?" Xylon eye's widened in shock.
"A ritual?" he repeated, his voice incredulous. The girl nodded slowly.
"Yes, in case you don't know, I am...I am...I was always here, and I will always be. I only exist in this place, and to bond us together, you have to...you have to have sex with me fully and completely."
As Akuna spoke, Xylon's mind raced with questions and confusion.
He had never heard of anything like this before, and he wasn't sure how to respond.
But as he looked into the girl's eyes, he saw a glimmer of something that made him pause.
With a bitter edge to his voice, Xylon spoke in a tone that dripped with sarcasm. "Sex to make a bond?" he repeated incredulously.
He closed his eyes, trying to calm the rage that boiled within him. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake the feeling of anger and confusion that consumed him.
He attempted to move his body, but it remained stubbornly still.
"Fuck …..." he shouted, his words echoing off the walls of the empty space around them.
Xylon's mind was in turmoil as he tried to make sense of what the girl had just told him.
The idea of a ritual involving sex to create a bond was a disgusting idea especially with a human being .
Xylon's mind was reeling with the information the girl had just revealed to him.
"Do you mean that you had sex with all of the past soul keepers?" he asked, his voice laced with disbelief.
The girl simply nodded, her expression serene and unapologetic.
To her, this ritual was a natural and necessary part of her existence.
It was not the act of having sex that surprised him - as a demon, he had engaged in all manner of carnal activities - but rather the fact that a human could be so accepting of such a thing.
"Are you a human?" he asked, his brow furrowed in confusion. Then, as an afterthought, he added, "I don't believe that you are."
The girl's expression remained unchanged, and she met his gaze with an unwavering intensity.
"I am not human," she confirmed, her voice clear and steady. "But I am bound to this place, and to the souls that inhabit it. I exist only to serve as a vessel for their desires and needs."
A smirk played on Xylon's lips as he gazed at Akuna. She looked back at him, her expression filled with fear and uncertainty.
For a moment, she wondered what kind of reaction the demon would have, but she never imagined it would be so savage.
Xylon broke the silence, his voice cold and calculating. "The souls of this place ....hmmm," he said, as if deep in thought.
Akuna couldn't help but feel a shiver run down her spine at the sound of his voice. She had never encountered a demon before, and she wasn't sure what to expect.
But Xylon was unlike any demon she had ever heard of, and she could sense the danger radiating from him.
Xylon continued to stare at her, his eyes piercing into her very soul.
"How do we deal with this?" he asked, his voice low and menacing.
Akuna looked away, her heart racing with fear.
"Your body needs my energy too...you have to..." she trailed off, her words barely above a whisper.
Xylon completed her sentence, his voice filled with sarcasm. "Have sex with you?" he said, a cruel smirk playing on his lips.
Akuna felt a knot form in her stomach at the thought of it. But she knew it was the only way to free Xylon from his immobility.
She took a deep breath and looked up at him, her eyes pleading. "Yes, Xylon. It's the only way," she said softly.
Xylon's expression stayed the same, and he let out a sigh. "Fine," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "Let's get this over with."
