Shaking his head to the words, Obsidian's grin only seemed to widen at the displeased expression on Nix's face.

"Does my presence bother you, o chosen one?" He taunted with pursed lips.

"..."

"Fine, fine!" Obsidian felt pressure by the continuous stare his way, "I couldn't let you face whatever you were going to meet with your body condition just because of that jerk."

Nix nodded his head, urging him to continue with his explanation.

"Well, it turns out I'm here and pretty useless." He chuckled at the trembling floor that was caused by the colossal creatures.

Nix hummed to the explanation, it was plausible enough for him to go with and the fact that he had taken the news of a dragon in possession of someone quite well, put him at ease.

Offering his hand to Obsidian with a smile. "You speak about what you saw to anyone including the team, I might consider you a snack for Raiken."

"Raiken, huh?" Obsidian repeated with a chuckle while he took Nix's hand.

"Did it tell you its name or did you name it?" Obsidian said in a squeaky voice while laughing.

"He named himself, but I guess I'm not the only one who thinks that was a little rude." Nix snorted, folding his arms as he used his brows to direct Obsidian's attention behind him.

Rrrrf!

A puff of steam blew forward Obsidian's hair alerting him of the presence of the dragon behind him.

"It's behind me, right?" Obsidian's teeth chattered, refusing to look behind him.

Nix had an evil smile at the confirmation. "I won't be responsible for any loose ends. He personally loves tweaked humans." He snickered.

Obsidian gulped, closing his eyes. This was the first time his instinct had programmed fear so vividly and the feeling was overwhelming. He had known Nix had something strange within, but not this intimidating creature.

"You must be joking." Obsidian chuckled, refusing to believe what he was told.

<Should I kill him? He dares question my name?> Raiken looked to Nix for permission.

"Apologize little Sid." Nix taunted, feeling over the top with the threat.

Obsidian bit down on his lips, reluctant to go through with the words.

The movements of Raiken caused the ground to tremble. He searched for the right place to rest comfortably and await the right apology from Obsidian.

<Is this the little feral that you spoke of?> Raiken sneered at Obsidian.

Nix shook his head, he had spoken about Lank to him, Obsidian was just a recruit that still had appeared just after his system went MIA.

He had been so preoccupied with his troubles with his system that he had forgotten that he had summons he could still talk to nor was there anything that could trigger their presence in his subconscious.

'He's a recruit that's still learning the ropes and the only one who knows of your existence.' Nix replied.

<That means I can freely kill him??> Raiken snickered, showing his claws and itching to stab Obsidian with it.

Nix grimaced, he couldn't still believe the sort of dragon he had tamed. All it knew were a few words with a vocabulary consisting majorly of 'kill'.

This made him wonder if that was all that went through Raiken's mind when he was still an untamed beast.

'Do you just wish to kill everything in your path?' Nix questioned with his eyebrows raised.

<Yes, and the only thing I know how to do with joy!> Raiken deadpanned with his teeth glaring in a grin.

Obsidian opened his eyes and felt another strange thing about Nix, he wasn't speaking, but merely looking over him and preferably Raiken.

'What the hell is this? Are they truly communicating?' He gaped in shock and confusion.

Nix realized that Obsidian had finally opened his eyes and was liable to face the wrath of Raiken if he didn't step in.

"Little Sid it would be best to speak up or face my lovely pet's wrath, you hurt his feelings." Nix wiggled his brows as he enjoyed every bit of the taunt.

Unable to keep his calm any longer, Raiken picked up obsidian with the tip of his claws, raining him several feet off the ground.

"Nix, tell it to drop me this instant of I'll–"

"You'll what?" Nix interjected with a smirk.

Obsidian's lips drew into a thin line, he was forced to the edge, if he were to be the first to attack, that could spell instant doom for himself.

Instantly switching to a passive mode, he whimpered, giving big puppy dog eyes, batting his lashes and hoping to appeal to him somehow–if he was happy, maybe Raiken would release him.

"As much as that almost touched my heart, Sid. All Raiken wants is an apology if you'd be willing before you're dead." Nic whispered, wiggling his brows.

"Oh, I forgot to mention." Nix placed the back of his palm to the corner of his lips as he continued to speak, "he holds a big grudge and it is territorial and here happens to be his territory."

Obsidian's eyes widened to the information, as a feral, he knew the significance of territory. If he had mistakenly threaded the dragon's territory, it was only a matter of time before he would be ripped apart when he didn't go along with what was told.

Raiken shook Obsidian's body and took him for a spin like a child would do for a toy.

Obsidian vision began to double because of the action, yelling, and thrashing about in response.

"Let me go!" He yelled in a plea.

Nix shook his head, tired of explaining what he needed to do to make that a reality.

Raiken had the sudden urge of eating his play toy and slowly brought him down. His mouth opened, showing his jagged bloody teeth.

Nix's eyes darted to the blood on his teeth, he had merely thought the Zeen disappeared or blew up, but from what he could see it looked more like it was eaten by Raiken.

"Sid, I think it's time to reconsider your actions, we have no time for this. We need to get back to hell." He laughed, impatient in returning to his room.

Raiken tossed him upwards and caught him by the leg, making Obsidian stare at a closed distance–inside Raiken's mouth.

'No... No... No... I can't be food for a creature, I'm the one who devours and not the other way around.' He hissed in regret.

Left with no choice, he yelled in a loud voice, "I... I am sorry! Your name is awesome and I was wrong."

Immediately he let out those words, he felt embarrassment wash over him and his skin turned a deep shade of red.

"Ooo! Looks like someone is burning with embarrassment." Nix taunted with pouty lips.

Obsidian narrowed his eyes wondering why he was still held upside down. He had apologized, it was only fair he should be let down.

"Hello?!" Obsidian hissed, pointing down at the still opened mouth of Raiken with him still dangling the only thing holding him back from falling was the grip on his ankles by the dragon.

<Should I still go ahead with what I had planned?> Raiken's enthusiastic voice resonated in Nix's thoughts.

'F*ck no! He apologized." Nix vehemently dismissed his words.

"Raiken, let him down," Nix spoke slowly, hoping this wouldn't backfire.

Raiken snorted, refusing to listen, lowering Obsidian toward his mouth.

"What the hell!!! F*ck you Nix, you said all I needed was to apologize to it, why am I still lowered like food?" He struggled for his freedom but failed with every slash he made when he was able to get to its claws holding him.

Nic frowned, taking the sight he saw as a test of his faith in Raiken. 'He can't eat him.'

Letting go of Obsidian, he watched as he yelled in horror as he was falling in the direction of his mouth.

Quickly shutting his mouth, he turned around and slapped Obsidian away with his tail onto a boulder.

His body outlined the rock and tiny cracks spread out in its wake.

Bam!

"Oof!" Nix winced at the sight, closed one of his eyes, and refused to stare in Obsidian's direction.

Dropping to the floor, Obsidian lay on the floor with a groan, trying to push himself back up.

<Hahahaha!> Raiken snickered in mischief, happy with his actions.

Nix shook his head, feeling that his services weren't needed anymore, he canceled the summon.

<Noooo!> Raiken roared in protest, using the last ounce of his strength to crawl towards Nix.

His claw had scraped the ground that was a few inches before Nix's location and then a cloud of black smoke erupted in its wake.

<You sneaky little human!> Raiken sneered, angered he was sent back into Nix's subconscious.

<Welcome back, elder> Red taunted his fellow dragon.

Nix laughed at the little tantrum Raiken made. 'There's no way you're coming out after what you did to my friend.'

<Hmph! He deserved what was coming>

Rushing over to Obsidian, he offered a hand for the second time. "I'm sorry for the circus play, but we need to head back. I'm done with this place!"
