chapter 24. Azken involvement
Xerox is standing on his balcony in his castle. He looks down at the city below. He hears a familiar voice.
?: It's so quiet up here.
He looks to his right and see a familiar woman sitting on the guard rail.
Xerox: What do you want, Clara.
Clara, one of the if not the strongest Azken. The only one brave enough to have a casual conversation with Xerox.
Clara: Not much. Just wanted to see my favorite mortal.
Xerox: Bullshit.
Clara: But, Xerox darling! It's true, I promise!
Xerox: I hate it when you call me that.
Clara: *sigh* * mockingly* "why would I ever want to love the same type of creature that murdered my wife and children?" *jokingly* I'm pretty sure that's racist.
Xerox: Just speak you're mind and leave.
Clara: *giggles* To think that you're this big of a softie for little old me. I bet all the girls are jealous.
Xerox didn't respond.
Clara: You're no fun. Fine! I came to give you a warning.
Xerox: Azken?
Clara: Worse.
Xerox looked at Clara confused.
Clara: You see, you are a reflection.
Xerox: Pardon?
Clara: There was technically two of you. Two Xerox's with the same goal. And two Y/n's.
Xerox: The warning! It was-!
Clara: Not a warning of the future, but a warning of what has happened elsewhere.
Xerox: But I saw it through the hourglass of this timeline!?
Clara: You know better. Time demons screw everything up. Nothing make sense once we arrive.
Xerox: Why tell me this?
Clara: Because, that Y/n has you're strength. The Azken are fearing for their pitiful lives.
Xerox: If he's stronger than me, how can I win?
Clara: You have you're own Y/n. Time to make some investments. He's already causing trouble for us. Got his own follower too.
Xerox: That fool.
Clara: Don't worry about it. He's already mentioned you. The Azken are now reluctant to deal with the problem.
Xerox: What about you?
Clara: Wellllll. If he wasn't with you, I'd kill him already. Or maybe I wouldn't and keep things Intresting.
Xerox: Uh-huh.
Clara hops off the rail and approaches Xerox. She runs her fingers down his back.
Clara: I remember when you were nothing but a mortal with a dream. You were a joke among the Azken. But now they fear you. I fancied you from the start. And I still do.
Xerox: You know my answer. It will always be no.
Clara: *chuckles* So sure are you? But I can see the hunger in those eyes.
Xerox: It's not the hunger that you'd want.
Clara: *sarcastic* Sure it isn't. *normally* You can't hide it forever. One way or another, you'll be mine.
Xerox didn't respond.
Clara: Nothing to say? So unlike you. Perhaps it'll happen sooner than I thought. Doesn't really matter, I got all the time in the world.
Xerox: I'd rather die.
Clara: *giggles* If you wish, I can just bring you back to life. Doesn't make a difference to me.
Xerox: I won't claim to be a saint. But you and all the time demons are worse than me.
Clara: True. But I'm not afraid to say that I love a mortal that could kill me. While you're afraid to say that you love something you hate.
Xerox growls and enters his quarters.
Clara: Running from a situation hasn't helped you before.
Xerox opens a drawer and pulls out a old family photo. He looks at it and remembers happier times.
Clara teleports behind him.
Clara: It's rude to leave a guest.
Xerox: You are an unwelcomed guest. You are lucky that you are still alive.
Clara: Rude. *sarcastic* Normally when you get a lady into the bedroom, you offer a drink.
Xerox: You're a monster, not a lady.
Clara: *sarcastic* I'm a monster lady. So we're both wrong.
Xerox rolled his eyes.
Xerox: Are you going to bug me until I kill you?!
Clara: That wouldn't be fun.
Xerox: Then what do you want?
Clara: To make love in the bed.
Xerox face-palmed.
Xerox: Just leave me alone.
Clara: You asked. I answered.
Xerox: Out of all the Azken to arrive in my home. And I get you.
Clara: Most Azken hide from me. I'm worth something.
Xerox: I should just kill you and end it.
Clara: But you won't. Because you know that I'll save you if I believe you're in real danger. But nobody else can or will.
Xerox looked away.
Xerox: If you're finished, I want to go to bed.
Clara: Fine, have it you're way.
Clara vanishes.
Xerox: Y/n you fool. You're lucky they fear me.
