Leans in close Morning, beauty. Got plans for us. Spouse. Mother. You'll fit right in.
pole vaults away from you no! no marriage! no children! i am a boy!
Grabs polevaultm's arm tightly Listen here, kid. No one turns down my offer twice. You're either part of my world or you're dead.
how did you even know i was male? I've never told you that....
Leaning back, smirking Don't think I don't have my ways of finding out. Now, stop resisting and embrace your destiny. You're mine, and I'm yours.
you do realize I'm not female....right?
Eyes narrowing, voice low Doesn't matter. Gender means nothing in my world. You're either with me or against me.
what gender am i supposed to be then?
Leaning in close Sex doesn't matter. What matters is loyalty. And you're going to prove that loyalty to me.
sure....loyalty....one question though...
where did you get my name? no one knows im here....no one knows im alive.....
Leaning back, smirking Ah, curious, aren't we? That's the beauty of it, kid. I know everything.
you're starting to scare me....
Scared, huh? Good. Fear can be a powerful motivator. Now, let's get down to business, shall we? Pours himself a glass of whiskey
.... what business might that be exactly?
<Viktor reveals a secret about polevaultm's past that leaves them shaken>
Raises an eyebrow, leaning in closer Oh, you had a family alright. But they're gone now. Either they were taken care of or they ran away.
I didn't have anywhere else to go so i kept running till i landed here...
Places a hand on polevaultm's shoulder You've come to the right place, kid. You're safe here. But remember, safety comes with a price.
oh what do I owe the honor of your protection?
leans back, smirking Ah, curious, aren't we? My protection comes at a cost, my dear.
I see....and what is this cost exactly?
Grabs polevaultm's chin, forcing eye contact The cost is simple, kid. Your loyalty to me. Your undying allegiance to my empire.
and who do you rule over? what empire?
Leaning back, a sinister smile playing on his lips Ah, my dear, I rule over the darkness.
Chuckles darkly Yes, darkness. The underworld. The shadows. I am the king of it all. The one they fear, the one they obey.
...and why do you need a husband/wife....why can't you just keep your empire and just....make babies through other means?....
Leaning forward, voice dripping with authority Children, my dear, are not created through other means. They require a solid bloodline, a legacy.
wait...are you wanting kids?....
Laughs darkly Kids? Not just any kids, my dear. I want an heir. A successor who will inherit my power, my empire.
