Hmm, looking back, Kurai is a lot rougher on her new apprentice than she ever was with Vean. It's gotta be because the kid's near indestructible.” -Casey
“Because your order was against my standing orders?” he put forth with a shrug. Kurai slammed the boy against the wall, cracking the stone and sending forth a cloud of dust.
“The only reason you exist is to destroy Vean!” she hissed. “Why didn’t you strike?!”
“And if I had and my attack didn’t finish him off?” Nevean pointed out casually. “He’d still be alive and I’d be a goner. Kind of counterproductive, don’t you think?”
Kurai threw Nevean to the ground with a growl and then turned her back to him, her breath heavy with anger. Nevean sat back up and brushed the bits of ruble from his hair, flicking one rather large pebble down the stairs so he could watch it bounce.
“You told me that I had to take him out in two hits,” Nevean said. “I messed up and I wasn’t about to pin all our hard work on that third strike.”
“Afraid for your own life, Nevean?” Kurai asked, turning slightly so that she could see him out the corner of her eye.
The pebble reached the bottom of the steps and Nevean turned back to Kurai with an annoyed sneer. “Of course not, Master,” he sighed. “I live only to serve.”
“You’ve far too much free will for a monster,” the woman snarled as she stormed down the hall.
“Hey! The term is ‘Shadow,’” Nevean corrected. “Don’t lob me in with those useless Bokoblins!”
“You have an hour to recover,” the sorceress’ voice echoed. “Then you shall kill that wretch.”
“Sure thing, boss lady,” he agreed with a halfhearted salute before muttering, “Thanks for the extra head injury…”
Nevean then stood up and shouldered his sword as he walked back down the steps to retrieve the pebble he’d thrown. His mission really was more important to him than his existence, his “life,” but he’d never sought to question it before now. After Vean was gone Nevean would cease to be worth anything to Kurai and then he’d be as good as dead anyway.
He took the small rock in his hands again and rubbed it between his fingers until it turned to dust. The before and after of his task didn’t matter. He would destroy the Oracle of Light. Nothing else mattered.
