A Bit Of Heart And The Last Preparations

"Don't be so tense, I ac-" Ciemnosc, with his hands gone back to normal and with Kinski being none the wiser, talked to Kinski himself with a voice at ease and leisurely. Well, he attempted to. As soon as he began speaking, a little thingy jumped from all the way to the back onto the surface of the land that he and Kinski were at, shouting loudly with a high pitch as well. "Nooo! Leave my Elder Brother. Take me instead! But please let my Elder Brother go, please, please please!!"

Ciemnosc: “...”

Looking at the thing that suddenly ‘tackled’ him from the back, her hands trying so hard to embrace his hips from behind and her head peeking through the left side of his back, visible to Kinski, who was already anxious enough hearing Katherine’s shrill yelling to become overly astounded and leaving no space for him to recompose himself!

“Eh…” Ciemnosc was wordless at first, but after seeing the furiously frown eyebrows of the blonde loli and her golden creamy skin trickling with some water, he fell silent for some seconds. Under Kinski’s extremely wary wholly turnaround change of his expression and stance, Ciemnosc grabbed the collar of Katherine’s floral-dull dress from behind and lifted her up.

“Eh? Ah, ah!!” Sensing her body’s change of gravity, and with such change being performed at ease at that, Katherine opened her eyes only to see the ground separating farther away from her feet and her point of view. At the same time, her tiny little nipples were seen as the floral-dull dress hung from her body with how wet it had become.

Considering the distance, she had to at least make a couple of jumps on the water to reach here, and she was indeed soaking wet from all over her body due to that, her blonde hair had turned darker because of such.

Though he obviously saw them, they were pretty small, darkish, and brownish. Ciemnosc didn’t go ahead and molested her or commented on it pervertedly. Just giving them a glance enough for Ciemnosc to feel both funny and glad to see, he was also just a kid after all. But Katherine couldn’t help feeling violated by a ‘young man’ instead.

“!” Yet, she couldn’t forget what she came here for, for none other than her elder brother’s sake! As such, she immediately faced Ciemnosc, her baby fat cheeks clenching and moving as he began speaking, timidly but emboldened at the same time, “Take m- just take me. I’m the actual mastermind in charge of directing the Moribund Yearning Cult’s plans, attacks, and defenses. I know it all, I-I-I can tell you everything- but let my Elder Brother go first!!”

“Grrr…” Ciemnosc really heard nothing wrong. She directly just growled at him at the end as she showed off her ‘fangs’— canines —to him and frowned as harshly as she could, which was barely something considering the bigger picture. In return, all Ciemnosc had in his head to comment was, “Ah, such a ferocious little girl, mm.”

“I’m not a little girl!!” Katherine responded, all along with Kinski being far too preoccupied to even speak with his eyes as his mouth was long forgotten by his overly focused body for any sudden moves from Ciemnosc that would jump to action as soon as the latter tried to even just touch her!

“I’m going to be 14 this year! I’m not little! I could, I could…” The little- no, adult young girl defended herself, her dignity, and her identity without any fear from his monstrous child-monster and his prowess in terms of purely physical strength. She continued with the same tone as before, her voice girly, “I can already marry Elder Brother even! Don’t you come from a village? Don’t people there marry even at 10 years old and start having kids a few years after?!”

“I’m already old enough to have my Elder Brother’s children! Grrrwwaaallllrr~!” She went on and on, making Ciemnosc bend his neck more and more as his face appeared before hers, still facing mostly downwards. “I- ah- I! My body may be small, but that is because I’m still too young for Elder Brother. He-...he is too big! I’ve seen it before. His Spirit Sense isn’t that good after all. He even had to spend a lot of time peeing because it suddenly got ha-”

“Katherine! ENOUGH!” Finally, the pure and innocent Kinski couldn’t hold it anymore, as it was even worse when she put on a haughty expression on her face with her eyes closed and her nose flaring up and down. She became silently stricken right away by Kinski’s shout, leaving her not sad but embarrassed as she finally sobered up to realize what kind of words she was spouting.

“...sorry…” With a very small voice that had gone so low, it was even less audible than a whisper. She apologized to her elder brother with her neck hanging down as if lifeless, the poor lioness lamb.

“Well…” On the other hand, Ciemnosc commented only as such with a dragged-on and hoarse voice before going back to his cute and sweet one, “What are you willing to do for your elder brother? Anything?”

“Any…thing?” Still with a very small voice but not so much as before, Katherine’s little head was raised somewhat as if realizing of something. Only then did she look around and remembered that she was right in the hands of the enemy, the stupidest thing to let happen. She looked into Ciemnosc’s eyes after twisting her neck and tilting her head to the right, her eyes a bit teary.

“Yes, you see,” Ciemnosc grinned deviously at the young girl’s pitiful appearance. His heart grew itchy as he continued on without mercy for either herself or her ‘elder brother’. “I already know how to train a woman’s body into a very experienced and sensitive one, though I can’t go on that far since I have no wifey yet. As such, I still have yet to explore how far a cultivator can reach if I make her into a whore free use, slut, skank for others.”

Katherine: (╯⊙ ⊱ ⊙╰ )

Kinski: ヽ(๏ ∀๏ )ﾉ

“W-will it hurt?” The innocent and gullible, ignorant Katherine asked, her face a little bit red but… not enough red. As if she understood the implications but didn’t really understand what they meant. In response, Ciemnosc put on an innocent, eyebrows together-face before saying in the same sweet and cute tone of his not so much of a childish voice anymore.

“A little at first, especially because you love your elder brother. But I mean, you guys aren’t even a little bit blood related, so after a few gangbangs, you may just want to include your precious elder brother so he can wa-”

“Commander Ciemnosc, that’s enough! She doesn’t- doesn’t know about those things. So stop it and tell what you wanted to get at in the beginning.” Taking a very, very deep breath in, Kinski gave Katherine a little glare, which made her fall silent and obey him to no longer speak anymore. Then, he faced Ciemnosc, who looked at him with a wide grin.

“Ah, alright. But you know, the little ones not knowing, that’s the way that the worst and most tragic of ‘stories’ happen, you know?” Ciemnosc commented, half not caring and half as a bit of advice, as he literally almost took a 13-year-old or so as his new and first experiment to create a brothel for pleasure in the future - figuratively, of course.

“I…I know,” Kinski, even against his determined will to let the subject go, couldn’t help but comprehend what the little kid was saying and acquiesce a little bit. Seeing just that, Ciemnosc smiled thinly from both corners of his mouth, letting go of the lewd nipple flashing lolita, Ciemnosc let her face the ground head on before standing up with his back straight once again.

Pam.

“Aaaa- augheey…” Lifting her lithe body up and taking some grass out from her tiny torso, Katherine patted the rest of her soaking wet floral-dull dress, letting it remain wet to Kinski’s slight bewilderment, that only Ciemnosc knew after spending some coy times with Valeria.

“Actually, as I was about to say before,” Ciemnosc turned to look down at Katherine in the second part of his words. And Katherine, now understanding more or less this situation, became embarrassed, to say the least with even her neck reddening as she deviated her cute face from the devilishly charming ‘young man’. Ciemnosc then continued without anyone else interrupting him.

“I didn’t come here just to evaluate these things in case I had to face them later on in another battlefield or just in the future, ‘boss’ Kinski.” Ciemnosc cleared up, then continued with a whole other matter altogether. “Right now as we speak, 40,000 Spirit Gathering realm cultivators are chasing your few 20-something thousand troops. There’s only one way to avoid their total deaths, right now, don’t you think?”

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

“Gasp…” With Katherine eliciting a tiny sound, Kinski looked up at Ciemnosc’s face, his own face sweaty and his body barely moving as he sat back down against a slope of rocks and part of a boulder that did some space; space enough for part of his rear to sit back on and rest.

“What do you want.” Without even really asking, Kinski calmly yet sternly spoke to Ciemnosc who looked down at this actual young man, not a single grinning feature on the latter’s lips as he began. His tone as ordinarily sweet and cute as it could get. “It isn’t only me who has ‘drama’ back at home, isn’t that so?”

Looking back at Katherine, who was pressing a ribbon around her chest area to avoid being seen by another man ever again in her entire life, other than her elder brother, Kinski’s eyes were a bit lost as he could only wish that Ciemnosc would do the same as before and ‘study’ her body with his strange ways to decipher a thing; or two…

“She is a very rare specimen. I must say yeah…” Ciemnosc, however, and against Kinski’s expectations once again, said exactly what Kinski wanted. “I can’t tell for sure. My mind still feels somewhat foggy, it must be my cultivation, I do have a very good Spirit. But I think that only when crossing over to the Spirit Gathering realm will I be able to see ‘more’.”

“In this case, some more of…her true nature! Yeah, I think ‘nature’ is the correct way to put it. It is also as if there is something that is trying to hide away her actual…mmm, identity as if it is lying dormant…” Ciemnosc quickly added, his eyebrows themselves frowning, for he was really befuddled upon first having scanned over this little girl- no, young adult girl.

“Also, but that part over here a bit more up, your poor right nipple is getting tortured, almost facing the whole opposite way that it should.” - “Gasp!” Just as Katherine was nodding to herself that she had made good work of her dress, knowing she would no longer be seen again, Ciemnosc’s words came into her ears and made her look at him as if he had just killed her unknown parents…

“...” In response, Ciemnosc only looked back uncaringly. With a few fidgety movements of what could be called her bosom, she moved a little, and her face suddenly lighted up as if she understood the meaning of life by no longer feeling somehow annoyed and in discomfort. At that very same moment, Ciemnosc saw with his Spirit Sense how the tiny thing became placed well enough behind her fabrics. And because his senses were just too much strangely beyond ‘developed’ he could also smell that piece of flesh as if it was stinking and worse than even the most stenchful of scents - but of a good scent instead.

“...” Kinski could only shake his head. But Ciemnosc wasn’t to blame because there was literally no clothing with specialization to avoid anyone’s Spirit Sense. Even he himself could only look through the panties that he made for Valeria because he himself made them. It was like there was a strange law and nature to all of that, and was inexplicable, but it worked nonetheless.

Yet, no one used it. No one here at the very least…

“So, that’s about her, about the comparison between the situations that you and I are in…I think we can talk something out.” Ciemnosc suddenly said, changing back to something that mattered and wasn’t awkward between both recently met knowns and even for friends for thousands of years-long friendship all the same.

“What is it that you want?!” With some more impatience but all the same understanding, Kinski asked.

“Surrender yourself to me. I’m not trying to recruit you. There is no need for that…yet.” Ciemnosc spoke about conditions at last, continuing on, “What I am looking for is cooperation. It is obvious that we won’t have any end if we keep on being the grateful servants of our respective ‘major’ organizations. Take it like a ‘just in case’ cooperation between enemies. How does that sound?”

Ciemnosc’s voice was neutral, or mostly ordinary for that matter during his time speaking. But he still became somewhat and somehow tantalizing in every spoken syllable. He then turned his head to Katherine once again, who would rather stand away from him but somehow felt that even up to 20 meters wouldn’t be enough despite the max for Spirit Gathering realm ever known in Spirit Sense range was of 10 meters.

“Besides. I don’t think you no longer have any belief in your ‘cult’ after having met her for so long, and protected her from those, who are chasing after you because of her. Am I right?” Without caring about the expressions from both of them, Ciemnosc grinned a little. It was okay to let one or two grin out at these moments.

“...Commander Ciemnosc, I didn’t know your information was this good, I-” While Kinski had a 2 parts playful and 8 parts sarcastic tone in his voice, Ciemnosc interrupted him midway with a calm, almost quiet tone, “It’s called espionage, more or less. I know it isn’t very well known to your cult, not even to my sect for that matter, but I can assure you that it is not all I know about you both.”

“...” - “...” Hearing his words, both elder brother and younger sister didn’t look at each other physically but seemed to make a sort of connection mentally, whether because of Spirit Sense, the mythical Soul, or just from how much they’ve been through together - they somehow managed to pull such a thing off right in front Ciemnosc, almost missing it.

“...If I surrender, what will happen?” Kinski asked, not expecting a quick answer since Ciemnosc had his people chasing Kinski’s people and to a most disadvantaged, deathly degree for that matter. But Ciemnosc spoke right away as if worried that Kinski’s people would be harmed instead. “You surrendering to me is accepting anything that I ask you to do, no matter what.”

“Don’t worry about Kathy here,” Ciemnosc explained a bit furthermore, with ‘Kathy’ pouting at being taken liberties with her name, “Hey!”

But, ignoring her, Ciemnosc continued with his ‘entire’ list of conditions to the almost fully out of Power Energy Kinski. “I’m no lecher nor are you my enemy, in which cases would I then be doing those stuff. I can’t say I’m not interested in those, hum.”

Kinski and ‘Kathy’: “...”

“Anyway, your people will be fine. You would just need to speak to this medallion, and my troops will ‘retreat’ in an emergency after I speak to the medallion myself. Is a communications device, and its range is really large for me. Then we can be considered partners, I know you still have some ‘loyal’ people to yourself. I can help you build a bit of a force, small but potent, for protection and even get those 3 that are trying to regenerate behind my back a little something.”

“A little something? Heh heh, don’t get me wrong, kid. But those corpses have the seals and inscriptions from the strongest Obsidiafying realm cultivators of the cult.” Kinski bluntly said. His head shook lightly before adding, “If it wasn’t because these things break if one puts too many and ‘controlling’ hidden arrays on them, I would’ve never accepted them.”

“The inscriptions you speak of are lesser than even the ones made for the doors of my bedroom back at the Inner Sect Disciple’s Enclave.” Ciemnosc mercilessly spat out smoothly, leaving both the listeners left speechless. Katherine for some reason pouted to the right corner of her mouth and nodded lightly at her elder brother as if she had known of it since long ago.

“Choose, I can always kill you both and all of your group, leave traps to entrap and then slowly kill or instantly kill the next batches of believers that come with bombs and many more types of explosions,” Ciemnosc added, his eyes becoming ultimately cold.

“Elder Brother…” Katherine voiced out, her eyebrows furrowing and her hands softly caressing Kinski’s right arm, urging him to choose - but not begging for him to save her life only.

‘Such a good little girl, aw.’ Ciemnosc thought, and just as he did so, a bad idea itched into his heart as he closed in his face to the right side of her head, saying with ‘admiration’. “Wow, young missus, you are at least 2 years older than me, I can’t believe I’m meeting someone so old! You’re really old, eh.”

“Hmph, but of course I am old! Older than you, hah! I’m the oldest ev- wait a moment… Hey… YOU!-” Katherine was feeling damn proud. She of course read and has heard of Ciemnosc’s little age from the reports that her dearest elder brother let s her read through.

Tap.

“I’ll accept. Let me speak…to the medallion. And Kathy, that’s enough. You are being outsmarted by him all the time. Behave a little. For me, for you elder brother, okay?” Kinski took Katherine’s writs while conceding… his defeat… to Ciemnosc. Then, speaking to Katherine, her face blushed as she heard the word ‘Kathy’ from him and cutely uttered an unintelligent word, “Gushugssh.”

“Ah! Brother, be careful…” Katherine, seeing Kinski standing up to the best he could but with his legs and waist stiffening, tried helping him up, but he was too heavy for her, only managing to help him by becoming a standing post barely a tiny wee more than 1.4 meters tall.

“Situ Shi, Mosto, I won’t be coming over back to the stronghold, so Mosto, bring the commanding vehicle at point 6. Situ Shi, attentive at the enemy’s words.” Ciemnosc, on the other hand, didn’t help him in the slightest, waiting for Kinski to stand fully up before passing over the medallion on his collar to the latter’s left hand as his right arm was around Katherine’s neck and shoulders.

“...” - “...” Without any words of warning or convincing from Ciemnosc so that Kinski wouldn’t think of any stupid, unnecessary ‘moves’; or reassuring words of having already surrendered from Kinski to ease the mood, the latter took the medallion with stern, extremely cloud-dark eyes.

Lifting the medallion up to his chin, he lowered his head a bit, feeling ever more tired as simple seconds went by, but at the very least, he said at last.

“From now on, I Kinski, ugh-ak… I am now under Commander Ciemnosc’s wing and have become part of…whatever you guys think you are planning… Just hope you aren’t just a bunch of kids trying to run a rebellion, and that can guarantee her safety.”

‘Elder Brother♡…’ At these moments, not wanting to ‘ruin’ the moment that was changing their whole, miserable lives, Katherine gripped tighter and so much stronger to his clothes that they were tearing apart without her noticing. And those clothes were damn good, while no Power Energy was being used for that matter…

…
