King Diorite had left a lot to think about. He was originally going to kill , and then he suddenly changed his mind. That alone was already extrely suspicious. I couldn’t imagine what had changed all of a sudden where he’d let go. Also, his sudden test for was extrely suspicious. He wanted to go to soplace within the Deep called the Abyss, where he suddenly wanted to rescue my girls.
This is what I wanted as well, so I wasn’t going to fight him. Once I had Terra and Garnet by my side, maybe I could have a chance against him. It was probably too much to hope for. I didn’t want to bring them into any danger either, although it sounded like they were already in a lot of trouble. Either way, I looked at it, I didn’t have any choice. Until the situation changed, I was just going to have to do my best.
Once stepping through the portal, I was prepared for anything, but I found myself entering a passageway that wasn’t much different than the passageways I had been traveling through prior. There was the distinct feel of a pathway. The tunnels weren’t rough or random but had flat walls and tight corners that suggested this area was mined out deliberately to function as a pathway through the Deep. I looked to my side to see the zombie queen there, holding tightly.
“If we’re going to survive, I’m going to need to na you,” I said.
Originally, I wasn’t sure how far I’d end up going with this little girl by my side. She seed too innocent and needing to be protected. I had originally felt this was a ruse. Her innocence hid her dangerous nature. That was true, but there was also a vulnerable side to her. After taming her, I knew that I would have to take responsibility for her. When I had seen her ripped in half, the sight of it had disturbed greatly.
The girl cocked her head slightly and then gave a nod. She neither looked excited nor unhappy. It was mostly saying that I could do whatever I wanted. Other than those few lines she had said to the dwarf king, she had not spoken since. I thought about things for a few monts. Garnet and Diorite were both nas of stones. Even Garnet’s previous na was Rubee. It would probably make sense to na her after a stone as well.
“How about… Pearl?” I asked.
She imdiately made a face, sticking out her tongue?
“Oh, how about Athyst?”
She thought about it for a mont, scrunching up her nose, and then shook it.
“Opal?” She shook her head.
“Really? I thought I had one there.” I sighed, trying to think about it more.
When I had nad Selena earlier, it had co almost naturally. Maybe I was doing things wrong. Maybe I needed to co with her na while considering the Naming skill. Maybe the na did not co from my mind but ca from an impression of the girl.
“How about… Sapphire?”
As soon as I said it, there was a flash of light that erupted from her. It was blinding in the dark corridor. I felt my mana surging forth, although I suppose it was coming from soplace a distance away. I hoped that connection wouldn’t weaken the deeper we got. If it was anything like a slave bond or my Slave Communication, I’d have a problem.
{You have nad your tad monster, Sapphire the zombie queen.}
