"Where the hell do you think you're going?!" Screaming at the intruder with their hands clutched on blunt weapons, the volley of demi-humans descended on the dark mage. Before their attacks could connect, however, a wall of translucent light appeared before them. Shoving the group of henchmen into the opposite corner, Amedith walked up behind Raven.
Slowly pressing on their chest until they could no longer breathe, he kept the wall up until their minds shut down from a lack of oxygen. And although not dead, being choked off all air, there was bound to be some complications when they wake up, but in Amedith's eyes, it was better than having them killed.
"Who the hell are these people?" He whispered, having not a clue as to who Kathy truly was.
In the meantime, Raven had already slipped upstairs through the shadows, and unlike the ones downstairs, the henchmen who confronted him there were instantly killed by massive cone-shaped darts that ripped massive holes through their bodies. Leaving a flood of blood behind to trail down the steps, he turned to the door they'd been guarding before getting killed.
"Shit…" Noticing the trail of blood dripping down the steps like a river, Amedith grew his angelic wings and made his way up as well.
Liliyana who'd also been beside him this whole time, also grew bat-like wings to fly up the stairs and avoid having to step in blood.
"The door won't open," were the first words they heard Raven say as the two flew their way up.
"What do you mean? Just–" A bit confused by what Raven meant, Amedith placed his hand against the doorframe and felt a spark of mana jolt his fingers away. "Ouch!"
"Heal!" Liliyana wasted no time in healing his burned finger, and as the pain subsided, she grabbed his hand and squeezed it with her own. "What is it? I don't sense a curse at least."
"I'm guessing some sort of spell, maybe even a machine," walking further up ahead, Raven clad his fist in darkness and made it grow to the size of his body. "We just have to make our own way in, that's all."
Drawing his hand back, he slammed his fist against the wall–tearing a giant hole through it. An audible gasp hissed from the inside, and as Raven walked in, finally saw both the mom and her son standing frozen in place while looking at him. So far he'd tried to remain level-headed, but the sight of them made his heart rage.
"YOU DIRT!" Jolting closer to the boy at speeds he couldn't possibly catch, Raven grabbed him by the neck before lifting him up in the air.
"AHGHH!" Arc screamed, and his mother was finally pulled out of her baffled state of mind as well.
"LEAVE HIM!" His mother screamed grabbing Raven by the arm, however, instantly being slapped away, he grabbed her by the neck as well, but instead of pain, he used his charm to turn her mind into a cum-filled dump that couldn't think about anything other than being a mindless slut.
"I'll deal with you later!" Shoving her into a corner with her senses all heightened to the point where she was pissing herself from the residual feeling of Raven's touch, she laid down on the ground, panting to herself and squirting in her panties like a broken sprinkler.
Turning his attention back to the boy, Raven threw him against a bookshelf. Slamming his head straight against one of the sharp corners, his skull got cracked, but to his luck, he fell unconscious before being able to feel any of the hurt.
"Shit…" Looking at the mess Raven had made in a matter of a few seconds, Amedith shook his head, unsure where this was about to lead. He'd suggested a plan to him before coming over here, and although it seemed at first that Raven wasn't listening, with the boy unconscious he had yet another chance to convince him.
"Let me take them to the Inn, and you can do anything you want to them without killing them both."
"Torture?" Liliyana whispered, assuming that's what Amedith was trying to hint at.
Glancing sideways at her, he nodded before slowly making his way towards Raven. Grabbing him by the hand, he took a deep breath and began to explain.
"I've gone through it myself, how it feels to take someone precious away–and believe me it feels much worse than death, and since that boy tried to kill Zoey and Diane, I think that's what he deserved, but we can't kill him," his suggestion came from the experience of those memories inside the mind prison, where Athenia had shown him the sights of his women being taken away by Raven.
And to do the very same to Arc's mother, was horrible for sure, but at the very least it wouldn't kill him.
'I pulled myself out of that bubble with Liliyana's help,' glancing over to the boy, a grimace took over Amedith's face. 'And as much as I hate you, you moron, you don't deserve to die–at least not by our hands.'
If Zoey or Daine wished for his execution, Amedith would've had no problem with the verdict, however, since neither of them was conscious, he felt like it was best to leave that choice to them instead of murdering their assailant themselves.
"Take them…" Brushing Amedith's arm off, Raven turned around and put his hand on Amedith's shoulder. "But that guy will die once it's over, I'll make sure he does."
Walking away with those words, Raven left the clean-up to the lovers. One of whom agreed with his sentiment to kill the boy while the other was completely opposed to it. However, neither wanted them to get off the hook without punishment and the first thing to achieve that goal was getting the duo to the Bricks And Cobble's Inn.
"You know he's gonna fuck her, right?" Unsure if Amedith understood what Raven had in mind, Liliyana decided to test it. "It's in a dark fae's nature to fuck and breed their enemies, especially as a sign of superiority."
Holding her hand to the cum-squirting woman, Liliyana shut her mind for a moment with her peculiar abilities.
"Does that mean you were trying to conquer me too?" Trying to lighten the mood even if somewhat, Amedith scoffed and added. "Cause you succeeded quite well, and I don't really have a problem with it."
"That's cheeky~" With a chuckle, Liliyana bumped her head with his and as he turned around, she lightly bit his nose tip. "Now we're gonna have to do some extra stamina training tonight, ahaha."
Although her words made him smile, Amedith still couldn't just forget about what they were dealing with. However, since the fate of the mother and son duo was now left in Raven's hands, he decided to let it go and wait until it was late at night.
'Hopefully, Daine and Zoey would have woken up by then.' And with that thought, he busied himself with the task at hand.
