Chapter 471 Through Sam's Eyes 2
Everywhere was either on fire or smoking.
The buildings and streets had been destroyed, and as far as the eyes could see, many places had the corpses of people.
Blood flowed like a river, and on top of a hill was Lenny, his body soaked in blood and stained with innards that had splashed on him from the slaughter he obviously caused.
At his feet were the dead, with slashes and cuts from his katanas.
"What is this?" Perseus Frowned.
"I am showing you the future of this city of milk and honey. This is what will happen with Lenny Tales in this place."
Perseus turned to her, "Are you saying I should betray him? Besides, if all this is true, why let him fight for your nephew?"
Sam shook her head. "That's the thing, I cannot see a person's past or future until I have met them. By the time I met you guys, it was too late. By the Oath of the Primordial Beast If Lenny dies, so will Victor, and if Victor dies, so will Lenny. Not until the Alpha Selection Tournament is over."
Perseus's frown got deeper. "Are you saying that..." The words refused to leave his mouth.
However, she was more than willing to finish them for him.
"Yes, that's exactly what I am saying."
Perseus stepped away from her. Instantly, the mirrors around them appeared once more.
"You don't understand. This is the only way. You and I know that Lenny is capable of turning the world on its heels, and his growth is too fast either."
Perseus looked away. In his mind,he could see every moment Lenny was covered in blood.
Right from when they met back at the arena, he had always carried the air of death around him.
Back then, they were only lowly gladiators, but now Lenny has left him far in the dust, achieving far greater feats.
One look at Perseus, and Sam could instantly guess what he was thinking.
"You are worried! Worried that even if you did, he would be too strong for you. Trust me, he won't."
"And how do you know that?"
She suddenly waved her hand, and two things appeared.
The first was a small bottle filled with a blue liquid.
This one, Perseus, did not know what it was, nor had he seen it before.
However, the second one was a little red pill.
"Is that...!?"
"Yes, it is a devil's pill!"
Perseus shook his head. "No! I have seen what that thing does to people. It's bad news."
"Yes, it is, and I'm not going to force this on you, but when mixed with the blood of the primordial beast, it has a different effect, and the growth in strength is almost permanent. It will also not disfigure your body.
Your growth in strength will be explosive. All you need to do is time it right.
Put the pill into the vial and swallow immediately. In that moment, the power you get will be the most."
Perseus hesitated.
However, she took a step closer to him, "I know you don't trust me, but you can trust this."
She leaned in and kissed him. Instantly, images were sent into his mind.
Once the kiss was over, Perseus's eyes looked clearer with purpose.
"You imprinted on me!?"
"Hmm," she nodded. "It's very rare for Werewolves to imprint on others that are not of our kind, but I did when I met you," she smiled affectionately. "I know that you know what this means. We werewolves only Imprint once in our lives, and it comes from the very soul. That feeling cannot be replicated. If you leave me, I will be alone... Even if I have a hundred, I will be alone... Forever!"
Deep in his soul, Perseus knew that those words were true. He could genuinely feel the connection between him and her.
It was at a very basic level.
He frowned. "But Lenny is the reason..."
"Yes, he is, but now he has served his purpose, and you know the world will be a better place without him. Like a mutated worm in the sand, it is good when it's little for the soil, but if it gets too big, it starts to feed on those that should crush it."
Her words described attentively what she wanted him to do.
"Besides, with these things..." She took his hand and placed the vial and the Devil's pill inside. "You will be able to grow without needing to torture yourself, and I will be with you every step of the way."
Sam pulled his face towards the mirror one more time, and there it was.
The image of him and her, standing side by side appeared once more, both of them, a vision of their kingly splendor.
"I... I need to think about this!" Perseus shook his head.
She nodded. "I understand! It's too much to take in. But know this, the relationship between both of you will get worse over time. He will always seek to lord over you, and a true king cannot be lorded over."
Perseus nodded at her words.
He turned around and left as he came, out of the pocket space and out of the apartment.
The moment he was gone, the surface of the mirrors about her shimmered a bit, and what looked to be a beast with a hundred red eyes appeared.
"Your ways, are really sinister, Samantha..." The voice that came from it was deep and trailed heavily.
"It is a good thing I kept you close instead of your sister...."
"Thank you... Lord Primordial!" She bowed respectfully.
"Do you think he will do it?"
"I wonder! You are the one trying to use the same puppet as the Fates and the Morningstar, expecting to get a kick out of it."
The beast in the image chuckled a bit. "The morningstar is no more, and the fates are trying to play me too. Once we are done with their puppet, he should be dealt with accordingly..."
Sam frowned a bit as she looked at the mirror, a part of it changed to the future she had shown Perseus of a future where Lenny stood covered in blood...
