Ark 22 Episode 34: The Start of a New Legacy

) " Uncle is it time?" Max spoke who was standing near his Uncle watching all of this go down in the Shrines, it seemed Suran made it possible for Syl to speak she was born a mute but today she was a new person. if she would awake Suran would stop the machine and allow her to step out. " Young girl... Your safe my Nephew here brought you here."

Syl stepped out and collapsed to the floor, from not talking for so long, her hair had grown back and she was fully healed, looking carefully around she spotted Max and a strange man and jumped away from them. Staggering she crashed back onto the floor, and glared at them not remembering what happened after she passed out. Baring her teeth she slowly backed away from them glancing around her unfamiliar environment looking for an escape. Her right eye was glowing and she was ready to fight Max off again. She felt her heart beating her her chest as the back of her neck grew hot, Syl was in deep trouble and wasn't sure how to get out of it. Syl had backed herself into a corner and was beginning to panic.

Once she began to panic Suran would move towards Syl before placing his hand out to her " No one here is going to hurt you, I actually restored your voice. It might take a while to learn but you are able to speak now" If she would take Suran hands he would lead her around the Shrines as he began to speak. " Listen, your skills was tested and you past accroding to Max you cause him to shed blood but need a bit more work." Suran would stop moving before looking at her " We can teach you if you give us the chance."

Syl took his hand and followed the man, letting him lead her around. She looked around at this place she was in she reached up and grabbed her throat, her voice..? He was 7 when she last heard it...Syl looked at the man then to max holding her throat. She tried to talk but couldn't, only  small noises came out. Looking at Max and Suran she quickly looked away, and closed her eyes. She realized she was nude and pointed at her body and raised an eyebrow. Looking from Max to Suran she bared her teeth, and hair flew up into tendrils around her. Showing her disapproval, she turned to tip of her hair into a blade and pointed it at Suran as the rest wrapped around her body.

Once he saw Syl getting into a stance of attack near his uncle Max quickly formed his buster sword in his hand as he went to strike he stopped himself knowing if he killed her it would of been a big waste of time but he had to protect his uncle. " If I was you I would chill, No one here wants you, You should be thanking us for giving you a voice than trying to attack." Max said if she would try to still attack Max would have no choice but unleashed a furious six swings of his sword towards her going at a very high speed one after another each swing would get faster than the other. But if she would listen Max would lower his sword before picking up a cloak that held red clouds and tossed it towards her for she could place on if she would put on the cloak Max would look at his uncle to leave the two alone as Suran would do so Max would lean on the wall and began to speak. " I invited you here to do business. I myself have created a group named the Tokumei no and im trying to find me some members, before you speak or do hand signs I want you to know what I did to you was only to bring you here seeing the deal we made. Im not asking for your trust Im asking for your loyalty, if you give that too me than I can make you a very rich girl. I can also train you make you stronger" Max would place his hand out towards her hoping for she would take it.

Syl watched at Suran walked away, she felt afraid suddenly. Like her saftey net was gone. Glacing at Max she looked at him with, and took his hand, her hair dropping with a thud around her. Holding Max's hand she felt like she just signed her soul away. Wrapping the cloak around her shoulders Syl touched it softly. She liked the Red clouds and the way it felt, light and airy, like a spiders web. She nodded to indicate she was listening, and ready. What really interested her was getting stronger. Stronger meant more prey, more prey meant more food...

Feeling Syl take his hand Max's eye's lit up before turning his gaze towards Syl as Max placed his back against the wall he freed her hand as he spoke. " Welcome to my world.... There is no turning back after this, your quarters would be found to the left, when I need you I will call." Turning his back on her Max would began to walk away he had hope she would be useful he had hoped what he was thinking was true that he could put his trust into other people besides an Serizawa, but all Max knew was he felt bad for the person who would ever double cross him because he would find it in his own power to make sure they die before his very feet.

Syl nodded and looked at him as he let go of her hand, and spoke about her living areas; Syl decided to try her new voice, "A-ah..." she only managed to gasp out as he walked away, she already had a place to stay. 'When I need you I will call'...it echoed in her mind. Syl sighed and decided to let him go although her chest felt hollow, was this all she was? A weapon to be used? Regardless of how people see her ass Syl really wanted to have a normal life, she'd seen the children with their parents...boyfriends and girlfriends. She wanted that, but she wasn't sure how to get it, with her powers and craving for flesh. She leaned on the wall that Max was just leaning on and sighed silently. Silent tears rolled down her cheeks before she quickly wiped them away, moments like these Syl felt dark waves of depression and loneliness wash over her, but she quickly pushed them back deep down inside of herself and resigned to be the perfect weapon, so she'd always be useful and need, for Syl did not want to be alone.
