Chapter 13: Constructed Madness
Sakura’s body was numb, but her mind made her push on, unsure where she was even heading anymore. The same creature she had found in the lodge was trailing by her side, nudging her on if she started to drag behind. A strange sight lay ahead of her, though she was struggling to see in the unrelenting, bitter winds. She could just about make out massive glowing structures, surrounded by a seething mass of dark shapes, which turned to regard her as she approached. The creature that had been following her signalled to the others guarding the tower, using flashes of magic to relay a message or to announce their arrival. In a swift movement, they parted, creating a passageway that led to an entrance, which she stumbled towards slowly.
Once inside, the creature shepherded her up a winding staircase that was completely blurred to her, reaching out occasionally to stop her walking off the edge. As it reached the top, it looked around, searching for which door held the magical signal it desired. The far door attracted its interest, so it directed her towards the room, nudging her back with its head to speed her up. It wrapped one of its hands around a roughly carved doorknob and pushed the door open, revealing the room ahead. This room was darker than the rest of the visible rooms within the spire with multiple pieces of furniture moulded from the crystal walls that lined the room, though she was unable to see what they were.
“You may leave us now,” a male voice arose from within the room. The creature slunk out of the room and the door shut behind it. “So, one managed to survive this process then,” it continued. There was a figure walking around the room. It appeared human in shape and size. With a wave of its hand, her mind cleared, and she collapsed down, gazing up at the one in front of her. They were indeed a human, a fairly young one from what she could see from her position. “The others have killed themselves before now,” he mused, “you’re the first demon I’ve had, though, perhaps that’s why.”
He regarded her for a while longer, studying her body. It was the first demon he had ever seen in his life. Her physique interested him, but more so her mind. She must be strong to have not have attempted to take her own life considering what he polluted her mind with, part of her must still recognise that it was an illusion.
“Who are you?” Sakura panted. Her body was too exhausted to move after being in the frigid conditions for so long.
“Call me master,” the man demanded, attracting a scowl from her.
“Like hell!” she spat. The man clenched his fist, and she felt a severe pain spike in her head, causing her to double over where she lay.
“Shall we try that again?”
He released the mana spike he had activated on her, causing her to once again crumple down.
