--------------------------------

Sinister whispers, echoing in the dark

Pure intentions, glowing with light

Once evil rises

It shall never rest

I find myself facing the most difficult challenge I have ever dealt with in my entire life that evening, as well as the most dangerous creature I can possible encounter, second to The Devil himself. But I do not want to think about him anymore, as I am about to withstand a very devious serpent, thanks to a very convincing persuasion from Lelouch’s secretary.

Once I get inside Lelouch’s chamber, I can see that the room has become very dark and dim. I can barely move in the darkness, but it is a good thing that I am no longer having black blood running through my course, or else I would have been stuck on the my spot the moment I walk into the room. All I have to be careful now is just to not stumble from anything that miss to be caught by my sight.

My hands lifted the hem of the red salmon-colored dress I am wearing so that I will not trip on it and fall. The dress is almost like a gown, yet blooming around me and hanging on my skin lightly. My hair is arranged into an up-do for an unknown reason to me, but Valline said necessary to appear tidy while I am coming into the palace.

Though it might appear like I am a coward, but I can't shake this feeling that it is as if I am a damsel walking into a disaster.

The place is oozing with danger. I can feel it in my bones.

Lelouch must be near. I just can not see him yet.

Then, just when I am thinking about finding him, I can spot a movement from the corner of my eyes. When I glance towards the direction, he is already gone. But I can still feel his presence. His aura is now slightly caliginous, though at the same time is still similar to his usual purple aureole.

After a game of spot and chase, though, I can finally mottle him standing under a blood red curtain, which is now already torn and ripped around the edges.

Something is different from his usual self, though. And it is not just his appearance. Lelouch now has his black hair longer. They are being let down and spread around him. His eyes are still the same violet shade, though they seem to be glowing more purple radiance in them. Those are all the differences I can notice, until he takes a step out from under the curtain and lets more light shine upon him.

That is when I gasp. My eyes land on the rest of his body widely.

His light skin, from shoulders and down to his feet, is no longer there. In place, dark, black scales are covering his body, glowing with purple dots here and there. His chest is naked for some reasons. From the circle of his waist down, black scales are dominating most of him, forming a posterior of a giant tail to replace both of his feet.

Not only that, just by looking at him, I know that there is something else different with Lelouch.

The way he is staring at me.... it is as if he is ready to pounce at his prey.

"Sssssso, they ssssssend you here, thinking that you can put me into a sssssslumber oncccccce again? How naïvvvvvve of them," he hisses with a sinister laughter at the end of his words as he slithers from one side of the room to across the other in a quick move.

He waves the edge of his tail back and forth, as if waiting for something. Perhaps he is waiting for my reaction, or perhaps he is just looking for the perfect moment to strike. Either way, I will surely not just stand there when he lunges forward.

But he does not attack when I think he will. I wait for the moment to come, but he never does it.

“Iffffff you think that you can win againsssssst me, you better think again. Unlike Lelouch, I am not sssssssomeone that can easily be tricked. And unlike him, I will not hesitate to hurt ssssssomeone that he lovessssss,” he hisses through his poisonous fangs.

Then, in a quick wave of his tail, he gets right in front of me in a second. His face is inches away from mine, eyes staring into me intensely when he says, “He is a weak-hearted. That is why he couldn’t even get the girl he wantssssss. But unlike him, I know how to usssssse my sssssstrength.”

The next thing he does totally takes me in surprise.

He leans in and places a kiss on my lips. I am too stunned to do anything as he brushes his lips against mine, his eyes gazing down on me darkly. He touches my chin, raising my head up so that he can deepen the kiss. But I snap out of my trance soon and push him away, wiping my lips.

“What do you think you are doing to a married wizard?” I state angrily.

“Claiming what is sssssssuppossssssed to be oursssssss ─ you. If it hadn’t for Lelouch’ssssss cowardiceeeeeee, then you would have been our wife insssssstead of that Blancort brat.” The way he addresses Valline ever so underestimating only makes me upset even more.

“You speak like you are not Lelouch himself,” I point out.

“That issssss becausssssse I am not him. I am a different concioussssssnesssss, and my name is Lucious. While he issssss the one with magic, I am the one with the tail and scalessssss. We are two ccccccompletely different beingssssss, and I am not assssss ssssssoft as he issssss.”

“Why do you appear again now after all of these years? Give him back his body.”

“You know that I can not do that, Arsene. I have finally awaken, and I am planning to sssssstay for a very long time. Besidessssss, it’ssssss not like Lelouch would like to go back. Not to the life he issssss having right now. But if you cooperate and agree to help, it might just be eassssssier for his cccccchancccccce of ever ccccccoming back.”

“What do you mean by that? Why isn’t he coming back? What is stopping him?”

“Oh, Arsene, don’t talk like you have no idea what issssss going on. He can not ccccccome back becausssssse you have left him devastated. The newssssss of your marriage with that Blancort brat ssssssaddened him too much that he decided to give his life to me. And now, I have finally own a body, which I can usssssse to do whatever I want and dessssssire.” He rolls out his long black tongue when he hisses again.

“No, this is wrong. You can not do this to him. Give him back his body.... and I might just do you one favor,” I say, beginning to really going out of ideas.

“Really? One? Issssss that all you can give? Because I can do much more to you and that delicioussssss body of yourssssss. What do you say, Arsene? Why don’t you just stop playing with the kid and come to me insssssstead?”

He wraps his thick tail around me and pulls me against him. His tails are so strong that the grip he has around my body starts to hurt. I bet my skin will come out blue after this.

I try to slip away from his tail, but it is just too impossible for me in my current state.

“Hmmm, I must ssssssay, you look different from how you ussssssually are assssss well. I remember sssssseeing through Lelouch’ssssss eyessssss that you have black midnight hair and dark strong eyessssss, not white wavy hair or crystal blue eyessssss. In fact, I must admit that you look rather ssssssimilar to that brat. May I assssssk what happened?”

“....Somone.... put.... a.... spell.... in.... my.... drink....” I answer through choked throat.

“No wonder. But I like how you look like right now assssss well. It makessssss you look so innocent. And it makessssss me want to ravish you in and out even more.”

With that, he begins to remove my dress. The hold he has of his tail around my body is not really helping me in getting away from being undressed. I do not want to get raped by him, especially if I can die if he accidentally brushes his lips against my tattooed chest. But I can not get away from him as well.

Once he manages to rip open the front of my dress with his sharp, long nails, he throws me on his bed, making me land on its wideness with a loud ‘thump’. When I try to climb off, Lucious already slides on top of the bed. He pulls one of my legs with his hand, the other hand aching with the need to cut something to pieces as his fingers slice the air with their razor-like nails.

The edge of his tail is leaning towards me, tingling my skin with its wandering touch. I watch as he uses his tail to slowly undress me, pulling my dress down until I am only in my underwear. I struggle to get free, but the grip he has on my leg is just too strong, and it is making me unable to go anywhere. But when he cuts my bra with his nails and slides the edge of his tail right under my panties, I know that I have to use brute force on him.

With a flash of ray light, I point my palm on him and push him several meters back with the force of my current power, making him hit his back against a wall.

I am sitting completely naked on the bed now, having nothing to cover myself anymore as Lucious already destroyed my clothes.

He grunts in protest from the impact, and does not take too much time from picking himself up. But once his eyes land on me, they are burning with lust quickly.

“Put your handssssss down, Arsene! Let me see all of you!”

He slithers toward me in a quick move. He is so fast that I do not even have time to dodge as he wraps his tail around me again, talking hold of my arms and legs. My body is completely exposed to him, and I can not do anything but make an effortless struggle against his thick tail. But then finally, I do the only thing left for me to do.

I scream.

And in a bloody pitch one to that.

The doors are soon being bust open with none other than Lelouch’s secretary, Caraven.

“Put her down, Lucious!” he raises his voice in a warning tone as his right hand starts to burn with blue fire.

Lucious does not budge for a moment, thinking about what is best to do, before finally dropping me on the bed again. Then, he slowly turns toward Caraven.

“Such a dissssssgusting ssssssight. I hope you will be fired ssssssoon. Banned, if sssssshould be preferred. You are interrupting my mating with my future wife,” Lucious spats with venom in his fangs.

“It should be you that is supposed to be away. Let Lelouch takes control of the body back. You are not welcome here, Lucious. Give us back our prince, and I might as well let this pass unburned.”

Lucious only laughs at his spitefulness’. “You want to burn me, Caraven? Have you forgotten that you will also burn your previous prince along the way? Don’t you afraid that it will leave a mark on him as well?”

Caraven bites his lips with his words. He clearly does not want to harm the prince. That is why I raise my hand instead and aim it at Lucious.

Another ray of light comes from my palm, this time more intense than the previous one. The intensity is way too strong for him to handle this time, and it does not take long before he passes out, falling to the floor with an echoing ‘bang’.

I still can not get up from the bed, as I am still in nude. Caraven comes to me to help by offering me his robe, which I accept gratefully and put on immediately to cover myself. After that, I look up at him.

He still looks the same even after all of the years. He wears glasses underneath his stone grey eyes, and his aquamarine hair is braided to his back. He wears a long white priest robe as his clothing style.

“What are we going to do to him right now?” I ask him as both of our eyes drift to the sleeping monster on the floor next to us.

A scowl forms in Caraven’s face, and I know pretty much the reason.

“Don’t worry. The light is very harmless. I only use enough to put him to sleep, but not enough to even scratch him.”

“If you had, that could be considered as treason.”

“And trying to rape me is not?”

Caraven goes silent with that.
