Chapter 10: Solitude

Meanwhile Miiah was starting to give up hope that she would ever be saved

from Gelebron’ s tower. With the Neon Knight as her permanent guardian, that being without a soul, she was becoming more and more depressed. And the demonic creature, Demonizer, came every day to check if she had changed her mind and whether she was ready to accept Gelebron or not. But with her daily refusal she was getting tired and Gelebron was becoming anxious and nervous.- Demonizer, I see I can’t accomplish anything this way. She is as stubborn as a mule. Maybe a change of tactics would be in order.- What do you have in mind, my lord? Asked Demonizer who had meanwhile gotten over his obsession for Bratty. When he saw what a pain in the you know what a relationship could be, he was glad he hadn’t succeeded in taking Bratty. He wouldn’t have been so patient with her, waiting for her to accept him. So he thought it was all for the best in the end.- Maybe if I allow her a few hours of fresh air a day, out of her cell… Maybe if I am nice to her, who knows. Because I see I can’t make her accept me by forcing her and by keeping her locked up in that tiny room. She would be of course permanently guarded by the Neon Knight. What do you think? Asked Gelebron more for himself than actually paying attention to Demonizer' s answer as he couldn’t care less about anyone else' s opinion.- I don’t see any reason not to give it a shot, answered Demonizer who also didn’t give a damn if Miiah accepted Gelebron or not. He just wanted to finish the discussion and to get back to his own business. He had his own agenda, which didn’t include women anymore, that is for sure. He was anxious to get the reports from the mining colonies wondering how many gems had been extracted this month and what would be his share.- Yes, yes, I will personally go and talk to her, said Gelebron. And he left the throne room in a hurry to Izer' s satisfaction.

- Get out of my way, Neon! Whispered Gelebron. Then he unlocked the door to Miiah' s cell. It was so tiny and depressing. He felt sorry for her.- Hello, he said. From now on you are allowed to go out as many hours a day

as you want. You will have more freedom. Let Demonizer know when you are finally ready to rule by my side, my beauty. You should know that even when you go out for your stroll you will be guarded by Neon. You can’t escape and you had better not even try.

- Thank you for the generous offer. The fresh air will do me good, as for accepting you, that will never happen, said Miiah hardly restraining herself from crying. But she wanted to be strong for her and for Scar, she couldn’t let Gelebron have the satisfaction of seeing her cry.- Suit yourself! Gelebron almost yelled and slammed the door behind him. When she was finally alone she cried till she had no more tears, they had run dry. She would go out in the sun tomorrow, not now, after her encounter with Gelebron and after their little talk she wasn’t in the mood to go out, although she longed for a bit of fresh air and to feel the wind through her long dark hair.
