So the other him was still there...
To be honest, Leyk didn't know what he was supposed to do wit that piece of information, after all, it was gratifying to know he was at least still around, that he wasn't the only survivor of these challenges, though he seemed to be using other kinds of challenges, but, there wasn't really anything he could do, even if he found out they were still alive, well, around.
On the other hand he was more interested in what Cades had been talking about right now, after all, even he shouldn't be able to instantly create such a picture-book-like cute child like you only read about in some novels and only saw in pictures of how people imagined the cutest child must look, female in this case, so why had he spent time doing such a thing, and even weirder, why had he not been embarrassed at all, and even more so, why did Leyk feel as if those pieces of information had something to do with Cades saying that he was still working on multiple little projects right now....
What was he planning?
And, even more terrifying, why did Leyk feel as if he was already scared of whatever he was plannig to do?
There spread a grin across Cades face that he recognized.
It was wide, shoed teeth, and it was very much genuine, but it was vile, that was certain, for Leyk knew very well where he knew that grin that showed so much bad blood to him already from, he knew it from back on ehetria, back when he had annoyed his little sister, as a big brother always did, back when he had tickled her because she was weak to tickle-attacks, back when he had turned off her lights because that's just what he did, there wasn't really a reason after all, when the two had bickered and he had won, but when they had always gotten along at the end of the.. week.. not day, sometimes there were fights going beyond a single day after all...
Cades was having fun with something, and Leyk, while somehow forgetting all the bad for a bit, was certain it wouldn't be good for him, certain that he would hate it, just like his sister didn't exactly like being annoyed and picked on, though in the end, she probably knew that he still cared for her, especially when he had always been there for her in the direst situations, or at least been there when he could and she wanted him to be there, little sisters were quite peculiar about that after all.
"You know how I told you that we know possess a certain passive, Manug's passive?", brimming with an energetic smile from ear to ear, as if he was about to dissipate into thin air or rip his own face apart.
"Yes..?" Leyk said, slightly scared but hopeful that it wasn't as bad as he was somehow already expecting it to be, a useless hope in the end.
"Well, it turns out that the passive isn't exactly a passive in the normal sense, the sense that should be expected..."
"What would you mean by that? "Leyk asked, growing even more scared.
"Don't mess with me, after all, beauty in this case, the beauty and form of the body, dictated by that passive, is now just what the subconsciousness submits in the form of a beautiful body, normally created by the normal subconsciousness, an unconscious collection of experiences, but in my case, that changes"
Why did he seem kind of like an insanely evil monster right now?
"I can dictate the form you change into."
That wasn't too bad... right?
Then, still, why did he create the form of that chi...
Oh....
Please no...
"Including gender and age..."
That form... could it be... Cades had simply not been embarrassed... because that would soon be his own form, in reality, in his real life, in the physical world, in that forsaken realm... please no...no... no... please, that would maybe not be painful or too dangerous, but why, why in god's sake would he do that.
Then he spoke again, and Leyk hung on his lips, for he feared, he feared what he could become, the fattest and yet most beautiful woman int he world perhaps, there should be an audience for that in the end, or perhaps a black man, not that he'd mind that, but then, a child, young, cute, innocent, why would he force that upon him?
Was it truly just for amusement of this... this... monster...
Had he been this vile towards his sister?
....noooo....surely not.....his mind said aloud, almost sarcastically, perhaps because he knew one thing for certain, an undeniable truth about the current situation that he would never be able to circumcise.
He'd do the same thing if the roles were reversed.
"You better be nice to me now, because I control how you'll appear in the real world..."
Leyk had already known that, but hearing it said so bracingly, that was new, and he definitely didn't like that, he hated that, but still, he had to admit, it was kind of funny for things to have turned to this, at least he wasn't threatening to kill him in his sleep anymore, after all..
Why did he have to remember that?
Never mind, it wasn't like that could be changed right now- but this situation, the future, perhaps... hopefully... maybe...
So, he tried talking once more, hoping to change his situation, already knowing he wouldn't succeed in the end.
"Plea-"
He was shushed by a gesture of Cades, a small reminder he was still the ruler, the absolute dominion over this place, and then, the king of this place, Cades, talked once more, and it were the words he had feared to hear.
"Bye... have fun with the great pillar of motion..."
Right... there had been that as well... just how had he forgotten that...
