Monarch Of Darkness, Arsene

"You-You-You," She stammered on, backing herself into a corner. She pointed. " I-I-I don't want kids."

"I do," I said, stepping closer. "So we're having them. Tons of them."

"My body. My choice!"

'We'll see." I darkly mused, lifting my lips into a devilish grin. I stopped inches from Tenebrae's fiery breath. I could feel her heat caressing my skin, the faint heartbeat hammering away as she shrunk into the corner.

"Arsene… don't." She weakly begged.

"Don't what?" I naively asked, cupping her cheeks with a single palm while my body pressed tightly against her. Her breathing grew labored, and her eyes moist as she looked up at my towering figure. "If you don't use your words accordingly, I can't know what you want."

A little shy, Tene shifted her gaze away from mine and unconsciously leaned into my palm. Muttering a few words, I didn't quite catch, but without care for the sleeping Ishar. I pushed Tene harder against the wall, enjoying the throbbing heat between her legs. She shuttered, ready to release a moan. But before she could, my lips pressed against her, sealing her sweet voice.

Intensity flared as my palm reached down to her supple waist. Tene raised her palm, wrapping them around my neck, as we fell into a lustful bliss. Her muffled moans sounded like sweet candy as I Shadow Stepped into my chamber.

I broke our kiss. "You taste extra sweet today."

A rosy blush graced her already red cheeks as she gave me an adorable 'um.' Tenbrae's misty eyes swelled as she leaned her head against mine and stared wordlessly for a while, creating an irresistible tension tugging at my heart.

"What?" I asked, kissing the tip of her lips for a short while, welcoming her warm response.

"I can't have children." She told me as her feet wrapped around my waist. Salty tears streamed from her eyes as she broke our kiss. "We could never—"

"Created by the Abyss and integrated into the Myraid. Tenebrae Snow. Are you, by chance, not going to fight for what you want?" I teased, wiping away the tears staining her dress. "I don't know about you. But if you want something, you fight for it. It's not like you don't speak to the Abyss or the Father. Lilith is but one part of the Abyss. The side of Chaos. Speak to the other side. Or do you want to suffer in silence?"

A look of disbelief coiled over the lovely Tene as she opened and closed her mouth. Tears were still streaming as she looked at me strangely.

"What?" I asked as Qi gathered at the tip of my finger that slid down her bewitching figure, shredding the clothing she had. Exposing her both in mind and body, I rested her over the bed and smiled.

"Are… Are you using me?" She plainly asked, as her eyes went sort of blank.

I almost flinched at her response, only to nod. I watched as dismay clouded her face briefly before it shattered. " Why yes. I'm using the Night Mother to foster my children. I think with you. I'll go for a boy. Mothers tend to care greatly for their boys. So why not." Unable to stop laughing, I felt the last sliver of resistance within Tene fade like snow on the Eve of Summer.

I had the Hells at my disposal and the Order of Chaos. I don't necessarily need Noctem. Sure, it would increase my power, but I'm not greedy enough to abuse Tene like that. My pride won't allow me to take advantage of someone I see as my equal.

Tenebrae lifted her hips, catching me off guard, and flipped position. She saddled me with a newfound hope I'd never seen in her. A hope and fear I could not easily dismiss.

"Then, if the Abyss will allow, I, Tenebrae, Guardian of the Abyss, Pillar of Night within the Myriad Heavens, and Mother of the Dark, grant Arsene Snow, my being," she said, anointing me with a kiss that turned my world to darkness.

I appeared within my soul space, the blazing black flame of my soul. Burning with a glory that gave off embers of abyssal flames. I caught sight of a vibrant azure-black string suddenly swirling around my soul.

Burning with a similar flame of a Soul Flame, the Etherial Aura of Tenebrae penetrated my bones as I felt her very being within me. The darkness within me became her's and mine, as a sense of control that shouldn't belong within me became ensnared by my hands.

"This is the Weave of my Being," Tenebrae said, materializing within my cognition. She showed a warm smile filled with apprehension as she turned to me. "With this… If you want. I could be your slave. You could kill me… you could—"

"Why would I want this?" I told her, a little annoyed. I know why she gave it to me. Lilith had commanded Tene to do so. But I don't understand why? What was the point aside from control? I don't mind-control people whom I view with respect.

If I wanted a slave, I'd create a slave. It's not hard to create a Shadowfell and make her a slave. Same with a demon or devil.

Tenebrae giggled before bursting into a slew of pearly laughter that brightened this dark void. "I should have known. You'd have responded like this. It comes with something else, Sene."

"Eh"

Suddenly torn from out of my soul space into the real world, veins at every corner of my body became inflamed as an onslaught of divinity slithered through me. Purer than any think that I had felt before swallowed me as a blaze of black flames coiled around our bodies. I groaned, feeling as if something within me broke, a block way of sorts. The entire world grew brighter and sharper as I broke through, yet the divinity within me didn't slow but grew stronger and more intense. A whirlwind rippled through my room, destroying tapestries, decor, and furniture as my power flared out of control. In a single moment, the windows near the balcony shattered in an explosion of destruction.

Tenebrae smiled and lowered her lips to mine, and whispered. " I hereby anoint you the new Sovereign of Darkness. All my knowledge of the dark laws will be yours from here on out. You will now be my full equal."

Startled as the Azure Black string around my soul glowed brighter, an onslaught of information poured into my soul.
