Mattias lay flat on the ground chest heaving, black tears streaking down his face. His lungs burned his ribs felt like they'd been split open from the inside. Above him loomed Miras Nightingale let his wings spread, he stopped singing now not a single hint of emotion touched the his brow
"You look pathetic right now ," Miras said mockingly as he extended his arm to Mattias
Mattias coughed, black sludge dribbling from his lips but didn't accept his hand."what is happening to me."
That caught the Nightingale's attention. Miras tilted his head.
"Mm. I don't know but probably a fate worse then death." His voice lowered, feather light but weighted with venom.
Mattias frowned at his words. "Looking at your face I doubt you either" His lips twitched into a grin.
Miras crouched low, eyes gleaming. "You just got… a problem with that?"
"Not really just expected you to have some answer or atleast tell me where I am ," Mattias whispered as he got up dusting himself
"Here I through you would be great full" The Nightingale laughed gave him a smile soaked in malice putting his wing to Mattias is neck "I did help you get you sanity back?"
Mattias sighed hard, then scratched. "Sure let me thank you after you tell me how to leave here"
Feathers rasped as Miras' wings shifted back. His eyes narrowed as he starting flight around. "If you try hitting me again it won't work"
Mattias looked confused at his words but he grin at the idea of fighting someone that had helped him. "I know that much by now"
Silence. Miras' grin spread slowly.
"Then what do you plan on doing ," the Nightingale murmured, "do you plan on running away because that would be an inconvenient later."
Mattias tensed his fingers as he cracked them one by one hearing a satisfying pop to each.
"Why would I run" he shot back, "when I know my chancesof survival are highest with you"
Miras froze. Then let out a low and delighted laugh.
"You've got sharp words," He pressed a finger to Mattias's head, "Don't let that goo get to your head next time or I will have to kill you"
Mattias grinned at the words as it turns out there was more that he didn't know but this 'goo' that he wanted to find out "I don't plan to and hopefully it doesn't happen again"
Miras finally flew back up, wings folding tight. "Anyways still I have alot of questions for you first is 'what are you?'"
Before Mattias could answer
whip.
A single wing sliced through the air, and his head fell from his shoulders. For a heartbeat, his body stood upright while the world tilted.
As darkness slowly closed in. The black goo surged reattaching head to neck. But Miras had infused a strange energy into this slash making his body fluctuate inside and collapse unconscious.
As Mattias fell unconscious Miras catch him before he fell on the ground
And Miras smiled.
"Because your energy is flowing everywhere like crazy" Miras continued
