Chapter 5 - Chaar

(Redacted) - Are you nervous?

She shook when he asked. 

Marian - … no?

She answered back in a low voice. 

He laid down on the bed, put his arms behind his head, and stared at the ceiling for a bit. 

(Redacted) - 'I might have to approach this like an interview.' 

He turned to her side. 

- Hey, name's Marian, right?

Marian - Yes. 

(Redacted) - Name's (Redacted) by the way. How's your day going?

She stuttered, She hasn't experienced much, since her arrival. 

Marian - Well. 

(Redacted)- How is your experience in the past working here? 

Marian - None so far. 

He squinted his eyes, acting baffled. 

(Redacted)- So you have no experience?

Marian - Yes, This is my first. 

She always answers back in short sentences. 

(Redacted)- Then, do you know about the world's situation right now? 

Marian - Yes, I have. I've read some papers about it, a moment ago. 

(Redacted) - Can you tell me about it?

Marian start to talk about the things she knows about the world through the papers. (Redacted) kept up the small talk. The small talk converted to a full on conversation. She started to being more open as it goes on. 

[After about 40 minutes of talking later]

(Redacted) - How much time have passed already?

Marian - Oh, I forgot about my job. I got too into the conversation.

She chuckled at herself. 

(Redacted)- It's alright. I haven't had a conversation like this, in years. 

Marian - It's my pleasure. I wasn't expecting to talk with the client. I will prepare right away. 

She got up hastily, to go change into the clothes in the drawers. 

(Redacted)- Wait, I brought my own clothing. No need to change into those. 

Marian - You brought your own clothing?

She turned back to ask.

A small portal manifested beside (Redacted). He put his hand into it. He's seems to be searching for something.

Marian - [Excitedly] You can use magic storage? 

(Redacted)- Yes, but I don't have much space. I am not experienced much in this field. 

Marian - I read in some papers, The kingdom of Goliarian is recruiting people who can use space magic. 

He started to get annoyed by not being able to find the clothes. 

(Redacted)- 'Where are the clothes at?' 

He sticks his upper body into the portal, to better searching.

Marian - Whoa …

Marian noticed him putting his upper body halfway through the portal. She rushed to him in a worry. 

- That is dangerous, you know? The portal might malfunction. 

(Redacted)- Don't worry, This portal is safe. 

He assured her, that he will be safe. Believing in him, She went and sat down on the other side of bed.

After fumbling around in the portal later

Along with him, Some modern looking clothes popped out. 

- Here are the clothes. 

He handed her the clothes, and she starts inspecting it. She was a bit confused, because it was clothes that she has never seen before. 

Marian - What are these?

(Redacted)- Those are …[pretending to think] the clothes that a close friend of mine gave me. I thought, I might give it away, because I had no particular use for that strange outfit. 

Marian - Your friend is quite strange.

He nodded at her. 

(Redacted)- He told me, he might become a clothing designer, after he grows up. He was an avant-garde man. He gave me that, as a gift, on my birthday. I was the same as you, when I saw it, but it kind of looked appealing in a way. 

He looked up. 

- Man, I got to go meet him after this. 

You modern people would know it. The clothes he gave to Marian are 2 office clothes, The sexy one, and the regular one. 

She tries to put on some accessories, that he handed to her, but to no avail. After seeing her struggle, (Redacted) stepped in to help. 

{CUT!}

The scene cuts. Marian is all dressed up in the regular attire. The good ol' blazer and slacks pants, with a hair tie for her long hair, and some fashionable glasses. 

{If you can't tell what's going on, His type is an office lady or some variation, Remember that in the back of your head} 

(Redacted) - Holy Gharia, You look absolutely stunning in this outfit, then the previous one. 

{What's he referring to is this photo}

It shows, Marian with the same office suit, but more SPICY. A short pencil skirt with some SEXY looking stockings, paired up with a shirt that truly reveal the shape of her bosom. 

{(Redacted)'s note : This is going into my stash, I like this one quite a lot, :Big thumbs up: But, This version, is a bit off for me. I might improve the clothings later on} 

(Redacted) - Now, let's get to work. 

He ran up to her, put her against the wall. 

Marian - Whoa, Not so fast, I'm not … [Blushing] ready yet. 

(Redacted)- Not needed. 

He grabs her chin, with his right hand, lifting her blushing face up. 

The camera cut to her point of view, slowly raising to his face level. 

As the camera rises, She came face to face with a half monster, half human. His arm is also changed. It is a complete different version of his arm. It gives off, a more organic than mechanical. 

Half of his face is covered in a black substance, or mist like thing. The substance, resembled a crown with a gem attached. The gem is imbedded in his left eye, pulsing like a heart. The pulse matched up with the inner arm's pulse. 

She immediately went into panic mode. Right after that, She calmed down. 

The camera went out of the point of view shot, to a normal shot. She was limping down on the floor. He kneeled in front of her, and grabbed her head. 

She slowly woke up, and had heart shaped pupils. 

(Redacted)- Goodbye. 

The goodbye was distorted. It still sounds like 2 different humans saying the same thing, but one is more of a monster. The voice falls into the uncanny valley.

His right hand turns into a pale white scaly arm with a scythe for the hand, ready to run its blade straight through her. 

As she seems to be tranced, The scythe starts to fall onto her at immense speed. You can hear the air being displaced due to the speed of the scythe. 

The blade's edge hits her shoulder, Her clothes start to shred, and right before it hits … 

The camera cuts to a pitch black screen. 

[Cing] 

An impact frame played. The camera fades from a black screen to being on the ground. 

The view that came on was gorgeous. The clear yet shallow lake, that's like a brand-new mirror laid on the floor, went beyond the horizon. The blue sky with pure white clouds complements the lake. 

(Redacted)- You've finally showed yourself. 

He's talking off camera to someone? 

The camera starts to turn slowly toward the conversation. 

Unknown - What do you want, a foreign entity?

A female voice echoed throughout the environment. The voice tried to sound domineering, but some amount of fear came out. 

(Redacted)- You know what I came for, and I have an offer for it. 

The conversation between them slowly came into the camera view. 

(Redacted) still in his monster form, but it has evolved. The black substance on his face, has evolved into a hard, flesh tendrils filled half broken crown with a heart symbol growing out of it's left most spike. The gem has changed a bit to resemble a monocle. 

The other voice, however, is just a sphere of transparent pink light with strings like pink smoke is surrounding it.
