Ch. 16: The Dark Truth

At the former sight of the emperor's castle, stood a brand new castle. A symbol for a new beginning for the demon realm as it protects the very beginning of all magic, the Titan's Heart. It's used as a museum as of right now, but it will have other uses in future dates. But it's most important use right now was protecting the heart of the Titan from any and all enemies. That especially extends to the Titan Trappers.

The group of Eda, Raine, Darius, and Eberwulf walked towards the guard.

"Where are the trappers?" Raine asked.

"They're in the old torture room. We're still working on converting it into a storage room." The guard said.

"No, a torture room is exactly what we need right now." Eda said, putting her black hair in a ponytail. "Let me handle this. Mama needs some blood on her hands."

"Are you sure, ma'am?" The scout asked.

"Does this answer your question?" Eda asked, holding up her (right) anti-magic hand and turning it into an axe.

Out of everyone in the group, Eda is the only one that can say she was only one that knew how to deliver bodily harm without killing someone.

"Ye-Yes, ma'am. Please follow me." The scout said as he turned around.

"You have a scary woman, Raine." Darius said to them.

"I know but I love her." Raine said with a grin before they all followed Eda.

Once reaching the torture room, Eda was walked to the door and had the scout wait out here.

"I can handle this." Eda said.

She walked in... and slammed the door behind her. In front of her was several titan trappers all tied up. One brave (Idiotic) trapper, tried to act tough.

"Why bother showing up? We all know you heathens aren't going to hurt-"

Eda slammed her axe hand into his neck, killing him. Eda dropped the body and glared at the rest of the trappers.

"I'm going to say this one time." Eda said, pointing at the dead body, "He's the lucky one."

'LUCKY ONE?!' All of the trappers thought, unable to speak as they were shaking in fear.

"Now, who is going to tell me what I want to know?" Eda asked.

Eda walked over to them and looked at the group, holding up her black arm.

"Just letting you know I can use this however I want." Eda said, "I can make it small enough to shove it through your dick holes and then make it as big as I want, or even make it into a mace when it's in there... so unless you want to see what it can do... you better start talking."

"W-w-What do you want to know?" One of them asked.

"What are you trying to do." Eda said with a growl, demanding instead of asking.

"No! Don't!" One said.

"We need to get the blood of a Titan for the summoning ritual!" The first one said, not listening to his fellow Titan Trapped.

"See? That wasn't so hard, was it?" Eda asked, tapping his face gently.

'So they do need titan's blood to summon the archivist. But I need to be sure.' Eda thought.

"And who exactly are you trying to summon? I can't be the Collector since he's our friend now." Eda said, turning her anti-magic hand into a sword and moving it to his throat. "Speak truthfully. I've dealt with enough liars to know the signs."

The chill running up his spine made his voice nearly stop. Forcing him to gulp a bit before speaking and stuttering.

"W-W-We wish to summon the one who made the great huntsman into who he is." The trapper said.

"The Great Huntsman?" Eda asked.

"That's the Collector as you call them. We want to summon the master of the master." The trapper said, causing Eda slap him across the face.

"Then you people are insane! So you remember what the Collector did? Including to you and your little group?" Eda said.

"Well, yes, but their master will be different. The grand huntsman had the mind of a child, we see that now. So by contacting their master, they will do what was meant to be!" The man said, losing his fear and slowly becoming fanatic.

Eda grabbed him by the throat and held him in the air.

"The Archivist, the same ones that had have literally killed thousands of civilisations!?" Eda yelled, "What makes you think they'll let YOU survive!?"

"They will see our masks! They will see we have done their will and slain titans like them!" The trapper said.

"You chumps can't fool me! King told me you guys never slayed ONE Titan, you just disrespect their remains for your disguises!" Eda shouted in rage, throwing him across the room!

Letting her anti magic flow to the floor, a black corruption grew from Eda's feet and started to cover the room as her eyes turned black.

"Why don't I show you what a TRUE killer looks like?" Eda said with her voice getting deeper.

Fear returned to all of them as Eda began changing, turning into her harpy form but the anti-magic had spread from her right her hand up to her shoulder and right wing! It was even slowly spreading up her face in the form of slight cracks.

'She's going to kill us!' One thought before speaking up.

"W-Wait! We have more information!" She shouted.

"Then you can put it in your will." Eda said, her voice growing dark.

The room kept getting darker and darker as the trappers pleaded and begged for Eda to listen to reason.

Alas, when facing an angry mother after threatening, mercy is never an option.

-10 minutes later-

Eda walked out of the room, and brushed the blood off her hands.

"Alright, I got everything I could from them." Eda said.

"And did you leave THEM alive?" Darius asked, sarcastic since he could assume the answer.

"If you learned what I did, you wouldn't leave them alive either." Eda said, giving the man a dark glare, "You of all people should know what happens if someone threatens your child."

"And what do you mean by that? Hunter can take care of himself, I don't need to worry about him." Darius said as Eberwolf poked his cheek.

"Hehehehe." Eberwulf chuckled from obvious lie.

Darius slapped his hand away.

"Stop doing that." He said.

Eberwulf didn't stop as they kept poking Darius and teasing him with his growls.

'Father of the year. Father of the year.' Eberwulf said.

"I will shave you in your sleep if you don't stop." Darius threatened.

Eberwulf decided to stop but kept his grin.

"Alright, since this would-be lovers quarrel is over, let's plan our next step." Eda said, wiping some blood on her shirt. "Those deadmen told me everything they know."

"Then we have some work to do." Raine said.
