A Fallen Knight-Lost art of Necromancy

In his rage, Tishn charged with his full power however this time, it was easier for Severus to dodge his attacks. The black mist protected him as well as helped him veering away from attacks.

"Don't rush Tishn. It is now useless to fight. Since you are born are from the darkness, you can absorb it and go on and on while fighting but, now I am capable too, to control the darkness and the same darkness will protect me. You just can't hurt me. Not even a scratch. Try if you don't believe me"

Of course, Tishn believed in him but he was not at all going to accept the defeat, so as usual, he attacked vigorously.

To no avail.

"Told ya", Severus smiled curtly but his tone changed completely in next instant, "CHECKMATE Tishn"

The voice of Severus was too cold. 

The game came to a stalemate. No one was able to defeat other. Either they could fight for their entire life or come with up in an agreement. 

"Now let's play a question and answer game?", Severus suggested.

"What makes you think I will give answers to your questions? You can FK with your questions. I am not gonna reply", Tishn denied Severus.

"I will tell you Secrets of dark matter"

"Why should I believe in you?"

"I can say the same to you Tishn"

Tishn shrugged his shoulder.

"Okay, are my powers not enough to show that I know the secrets of dark matter"

"No they aren't" .Tishn smiled sweetly however to Severus, it was a creepy smile.

"Sure as you wish", with that Severus moved swiftly and knocked Tishn on the ground. He gave few punches and kicks to him and soon blood spurted from Tishn mouth.

Tishn was in disbelief. It had been so many years since he was punched. The last he got in a fight was with Hades and probably it was also the last time his blood spilled. He was enraged, enraged to the core.

"Fine, you want answers. Okay, I will give you answers as well as death. I don't believe any Tom, Dick, Harry can beat me. You are nothing but just a mere mortal, who by chance is able to control the darkness. Don't you get so much smug. I am the real child of darkness and I will be the only one who will win."

"Oh, child of darkness"Severus murmured and twirled around at his place, "Yea I agree that you are a child of darkness but, you are an illegitimate child. Nothing just a small fish."

Bam!

Bam!

Tishn hit Severus with dark matter.

"Thud!"

Severus collided with the wall.

"Just shut the fuck up"

"Illegitimate you say. No, I am the legitimate one whereas you are illegitimate. A bastard"

Tishn flared up.

Severus wiped the blood from his face.

"I don't have time for your stupid anger issues. Just tell me what do you know about Desella?"

Severus screamed and with his anger, the dark mist intensified as well as his black iris stared at Tishn.

Tishn shivered unknowingly but he didn't back away.

"Okay since I am gonna kill you in the end, it doesn't really hurt to tell you one or two things."

"So cutting off long story short. I knew Desella since she was human. As you know I am born from darkness, so I was never a mortal but somehow I was able to feel every mortal emotion.

I am original with no family but it was not the same case with Desella. I knew her since she was a 16-year-old child. She was a happy kid who loved her family. She had a cute sister too named as Sessy. Both the sisters shared an intimate bond. Desella loved her sister dearly, actually a little too dearly. Even to the extent of not noticing the malice in her eyes. Nevermind, somehow her family was brutally murdered. Her mother and father were mutilated and her sister was butchered. It was a gore murder but no was able to catch the murderer. Since Desella was the only one who didn't die, so people started blaming her and suspecting her alliance with those people who had symbols engraved on their forehead. Actually, in our time, there was an infamous group of bandits who had a symbol engaged on their forehead"

"May I know what they were infamous for?" Severus questions suddenly.

Tishn didn't found Severus question odd so he answered."Oh, they were famous for mass killing and brutal murder. No one had ever unravelled that mystery. So keeping with the story, Soon her greedy relatives made a plan to kill her and loot her shares of wealth which now belonged to her since she was the only legitimate child of her parents. Luckily she found out about it left the town. In the middle, she met with the master and followed him. Our master was a cold but generous person. He took her in and taught her martial arts, self-defence and magic but,....."

A self-mocking smile came upon his lips."This bitch betrayed master and foiled his plan. Due to her, we all got separated and never saw our master again. Our group of three disbanded. I don't know where she hid but I never found her. Later I got in a battle with Hades and ended up here. Luckily I was gifted with a chance to meet her again. Just like you, she too stumbled upon a Baroque mirror and was entered her and that's when I got to know that she died and became a will. To be honest I was happy that he died but alas she became a will. I tried killing her at that time but she is damn too fast and witty. She slipped through under my nose, but thanks to you. Now I have the honour to kill the chosen one as well as avenge my master"

As soon as Tishn completed his word he gathered the dark mist on his hands and aimed at Severus. Severus saw what was happening was prepared to defend himself but, for the attack that he was prepared for, never hit him. To his horror, he saw that Tishn changed his aim at the last moment and threw the mist at Desella.

Severus chilly slid and shielded the unconscious Desella.

Bam!

A loud explosion rang inside the room.

The impact was huge and with such a heavy explosion, Deesella too woke up. But all she could see was darkness as she was tightly protected inside someone's embrace. It was warm and fluffy which made her feel protective but his strong grip was loosing slowly. 

Severus who didn't have any time, to think about anything, he just jumped and covered up Desella, taking all the impact of dark matter.

Severus slipped away from Desella. Blood was seeping from his chest as well as mouth.

Tishn was able to wound him without using any real weapon.

Desella freaked out when she saw red. There was blood everywhere. Dark crimson blood. It was hot and fresh which stupefied her. It took her a while to process everything.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO"

She shrieked loudly.

"Wha…... What happened to you, Severus? Why the hell blood is seeping from your chest?"

"You got a wound. Oh lord!"

"How? Severus!!"

"Severus. Answer me."

Desella shook Severus vigorously but he was calmly lying there on Desella's lap. No matter how loud she screamed and called his name. He didn't answer back. His body started turning cold and his vitals were all low.

Desella panicked and her eyes welled up with hot tears. No matter how much she tried consoling her, her tears didn't stop. It was as if there was a tap behind her eyes. She cried and shrieked at the same time. She cursed him heavily to wake up and when nothing worked she even begged him to be alive.

"You can't die Severus. You just can't. Don't forget you have a big plan all set up to get revenge on that royal couple. You have several unanswered questions which you need to solve."

"Severus there is Noworry too. You remember your pet. You can't die. I don't know how I am going to face him if you die. I plead you, Severus. Don't die."

In the end, she begged and whispered slowly with hiccups.,"I haven't even told you many things, Severus. I have so much to tell and there is no one except you who can understand me. There is no one who could listen to me. There is no one beside you who could make me smile. If you die then my heart will surely die this time. For the sake of me, Please Severus don't die"

She interlocked her one hand with his and sobbed on his chest.

It was heart-wrenching to see her cry.

Even Tishn who thought that he was void of emotions felt sad for Desella but, he wasn't the person who regretted anything in life. He even never regretted the choice he made with Hades.
