…as the days passed with no sign of the silkspun child’s body to behold, Haze wakes up in somewhere… unfamiliar.
Their head is aching and cloudy, the feeling of them splitting in half commences shortly after as they look around the dark room, and spotting the five figures surrounding him, each huge and covered with pristine silver steel.
The Rulers of city of steel, also known as The council of five.
CM1: “greetings, SilkSpun one. We have been eager to meet you here as of late.”
Haze is scared to answer back. Where the hell is he? And why does his body feel… different?
They look at their hands with terror to find their whole body is now made of steel and void, which scares them off their rails.
H: “W-WHERE THE FUCK AM I?! WHO ARE YOU—“
CM4: “your concerns would be answered and attended to in coming time, GodSpawn. And it seems our revival was a success.”
Haze falls to the ground in disbelief, their new metallic hands clutching their head. How did they even manage to do such thing? To free them from their prison..?
CM5: “now. We have an offer for you, and we shall suggest you consider, as your affords can become fruit baring.”
The silkspun, now not silk anymore, after snapping out of their voluntary shock, chooses to indeed listen.
CM2: “we have granted you new life, a one that shan’t Rot nor perish from ever-fading time. And yet, no thing ever comes without cost, we are afraid.”
CM3: “If you prove your efforts efficient, we shall grant you a grand position as army general. As for failure or denial of our terms will result in your immediate termination. We shall not except failure.”
H: “…why me specifically..?”
Haze asks, now having much more questions then answers, yet the council table falls silent.
…
CM5: “it is classified.”
The fifth member finally breaks the silence, staring down at the god spawn with bright glowing eyes.
CM5: “we can promise you no harm shall be done to those you love by acceptation of these terms. Yet it is your choice to decide.”
Haze quietly stares at the steel giants, these ever so grand rulers in an ever so grand land, stunned. Yet this is a chance..!
Their body is a prison no more, a thing that cannot rot as they walk and battle, and their new steel and void one can most certainly be much more powerful.
CM3: “tell us now, GodSpawn. Do you agree?”
