811  Going Back Home

Lenny, standing before Minnie in the shadow of the revelations she had just unfurled, felt a jolt of surprise as she spoke. Her ability to cross dimensions and her insights into events past, possible, and inevitable, cast a new light on the challenges ahead. "Maybe it's because of my ability to be able to cross dimensions, but I have seen things in the red sands. Things that have happened, will never happen, and will definitely happen," Minnie explained, her voice trembling slightly, not from fear but from the weight of her knowledge.

Intrigued and cautious, Lenny urged her to continue, his curiosity piqued. Minnie, with a shaky hand, drew a rune in the sands—a symbol resembling '6's joined at their sides, a mark deeply familiar to Lenny. It was a symbol that resonated with him on a visceral level, mirrored in the stamp upon his chest and prominently featured on Anguis, the Holy Tool. Minnie, noticing Lenny's recognition, pressed on, "The others, born of the same bloodline that bear this, are coming!"

Lenny was taken aback. "Others?" he murmured to himself, pondering the implication. His mind raced to Luca, his son, the only other person he knew who bore this rune. Yet, another figure loomed in his thoughts—Agent 'X', his father, who had ominously said, "This is the curse of our bloodline. I must hunt you." Lenny recalled his fatal encounter with Agent 'X' in the red sands, before time had looped back on itself. But with the timeline altered, what of Agent 'X's fate now?

Minnie's next words cut through his reverie, "Trust me, he is not the only one. Those cursed with the corrupted touch of the Morningstar shall battle for his glory!" Her declaration was not just informative but charged with a sense of inevitability. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lenny, faced with this new knowledge, turned back to Minnie, contemplating the depth of what she revealed. The implications were profound, suggesting a convergence of forces tied to their bloodline, all marked by the same rune and seemingly destined to clash in a struggle influenced by the Morningstar's will.

"How did you know that was what I was going to do?" he finally asked, seeking clarity on how Minnie could have anticipated his intentions so accurately. Her response, pointing towards the red sands and her own experiences within them, revealed a shared history of manipulation and destiny that both of them were part of. It was clear now that the secrets of the red sands and the curse of their bloodline were intertwined, each revelation shedding light on the dark paths they were destined to tread.

As Lenny stood before Minnie, the reality of their situation settled around him like dust after a storm. The path forward was illuminated by the knowledge she had shared, knowledge that transformed their understanding of their past actions and future choices. The struggle for power, influence, and survival was no longer just a personal endeavor but a familial legacy, marked by the rune and shadowed by the influence of the Morningstar.

Minnie saw the look on his face, and she spoke, "You and i have had our differences, but with what is to come, you will need me as much as i will need you!" On saying this she presented her hand, "I am willing to swear a master-slave contract with you, bind by blood and soul!" Her words surprised lenny once more. Lenny raised a brow at her, "Even if we want to do that, we both know that it is not possible. at least not in this place. The rules of reality do not apply in the nether realm" lenny added. She thought of his words and then with a strong resolve, she used her long fingers, stabbing them into her own chest. The process, an act of self-infliction that was as shocking as it was painful, but she did it anywhere. She extracted her beating heart.

She dug her hand inside and presented her beating heart to him, "I have seen things, and know what you can do lenny! Without my heart in the nether, I will still survive, but back in the reality of creation, it is not possible. I'll keep my heart with you till then. That way, you can trust me, and sign the contract with me, master!" she bowed to him. Now, more than ever, Lenny was curious as to what she had seen in the red sands. After all, this woman was once a very stubborn witch that gave him unending problems with her sisters. Also, she should still hate him for the past that they shared. But here she was, handing herself to him on a plater. Lenny waved his hand on the heart she had presented, storing it into the storage unit. It was true what she said, with his abilities, he could help her fix back her heart before reality took her life away.

"Rise!" Lenny ordered. Lenny was not one keen on having a slave, and certainly not one that wanted to kill him once upon a time. With the things he had discovered, he was sure that Minnie had her own plans. And he was more than willing to bet that she would back stab him the moment she got the chance. Lenny made a reminder in his head. When they went back to earth, he was going to use his own methods to dig into her mind and find the things he wanted to see.

Nevertheless, all that was for another time. Right now, he was going to do something else. "Come along!" he ordered as he grabbed Ella by the hair, pulling her along Lenny had already extracted the command rune from Ella's chest. He waved his hand and another portal appeared. this portal led once more, back to the castle of the accords. On entering the castle, he found Athena on the ground. She was still tied up. She had a surprised look on her face. After all, he had returned pulling their captor by the hair. Instantly, Minnie rushed to Athena, loosing her binds. Both women having missed each other embraced tightly.

"How?" Athena asked, speechless for words. Minnie turned to Lenny, "Master did it!"

"Master?" Athena was left surprised by that word. Lenny turned to both women, "we don't have time. There is a war waiting for us back home..."
