Recruitment

“…AND I DON’T WANT IT”

His steps echoed through the stone walls, but the goyl couldn’t stop running. Or, at least, he had to escape as far as he could. So, when he stopped in an abandoned side tunnel, it still felt like he hadn’t gone as much far as he wanted.

Bastard, that’s all you are. A bastard.

And he should have died five years prior, drowned in the Onyx’s Lake. He collapsed on the floor. Nobody wanted him alive, not his father, not the Onyxs, and his mother… she would have lived a better life without him, he knew she had sacrificed her reputation, everything, for him.

Stupid, stupid Nerron, you must live for her. Onyx will treat her better if you succeed…if you…

But he didn’t want to serve them. The cruel Onyx princes that wanted him dead, that had tamed and trained him.

He didn’t have a purpose; he was nothing and he would have always remained nothing. Forever. His life was pointless. Maybe he ought to di…

A pair of hands had silenced him. There were hands everywhere, on his mouth, on his limbs. He tried to fight but they had caught him off guard.

Pathetic as usual, Nerron

They dragged him inside the not-abandoned tunnel, but freed him shortly after, where the passageway became a cave. Yet he wasn’t free, there were goyls…soldiers, behind him, he couldn’t escape. He stared at the wall, but the only other exit was behind the jasper goyl that was approaching him.

“What were you doing?” he asked. He was interrogating him. Nerron sensed fear and sent it away. He had survived the Onyxs, he could survive this.

“I was hiding”

“Listen here you little brat, who were you spying us for?”

“I wasn’t spying you” the slap hit him on his right check. Anger and fear.

“I don’t like to repeat myself, what were you doing?”

“Let me go”

“This is the last time, then will be the scorpions to ask you these questions…” he was threatening him with those scorpions used during excruciating torture. But he wasn’t a traitor he didn’t deserve that.

“NO, let me go, please” he was only a kid, even though goyls grew faster than humans. And the jasper one was a soldier. But he had shrieked like a victim. Like a weak.

“Stop this madness, Hentzau, he’s child” A carnelian had appeared behind Hentzau, and everybody turned to him, like he was the chief… the captain… “What’s your name?” He asked Nerron.

Impossible

“Haven’t you heard him?” Said Hentzau. He was clearly older than his captain, but not too much.

“Nerron” he responded, straightening his back.

“Hi Nerron, why were you spying us?”

“I wasn’t” Before Hentzau could talk, the Carnelian stopped him.

“Those are onyx and malachite, aren’t they?” Said the Carnelian. Nerron had to expect that. Only a bastard…

“How old are you?”

“Twelve”

“That’s… unexpected. Onyx’s bastards usually don’t survive their seventh year, right?” He asked to Hentzau.

“I knew an Onyx bastard that worked in Blenheim as a jeweller for men…they killed him while stealing all his treasures…He had escaped his father but not mankind…” Hentzau told him.

“And they kept you alive… Why are you special, Nerron?”

“I’m not” The carnelian smiled lightly.

“You have to”

“But I…” don’t want it? Like he had shouted to his mother? He didn’t want that life. What a terrible son he was, he…

“Yes, Nerron?”

“I stole something and they thought it was…reckless and clever” all of them were staring at him. Then the Carnelian made a gesture and everybody, other than Nerron, Hentzau and himself, left the little cave.

“And you serve them?” The chief, then, asked.

“I have to” Rage and heat, goyls lived thanks to that.

“Interesting. So, you were spying us for them?”

“I don’t even know who you are!” But that was a lie. And everybody agreed that Kami’en the traitor could sense lies… and loyalty.

“I think you heard of our rebellion”

“You…you aren’t…”

“An Onyx? And why should our skin distinguish us? Am I less valuable than your father? Are you dirty, filthy, only because you’re different?”

“I should be”

“You’re insulting me right now, you know?” Said Kami’en, smiling. And the tales were true. He wasn’t the jadegoyl, destined to free them all, but the fire in his skin resembled his spirit. “Are you loyal to them, Nerron?”

The little goyl remained silent and started following Hentzau’s steps forward and backward around the room with his eyes.

“We could create a better world. Here and… upwards. We can go up and destroy everyone that wanted us caged. We could overcome the Onyxs…and create an empire within the human’s kingdoms. Would you want to help us, Nerron?”

“And who would I be?”

“A traitor, a spy, a living being. You can be whoever you want”

“Oh, this is test, isn’t it? Another one? Well, at least now I understand. What should I say? I’m loyal only to my mother, you can do whatever you want. And if I have failed this test, you only have to blame me” replied Nerron, angrily.

“It’s not a test, it’s real. Who do they want you to become?” Asked Kami’en, without losing his temper.

“A killer” he said, reluctantly.

“And it disgusts you?”

“You can’t understand. You’re soldiers. You have to kill to live”

“Wrong. You know that, if you help us, we’ll protect your mother, right?” Nerron had to admit it: Kami’en had seemed polite and truthful during all the conversation… and he liked the idea to go up, to help someone conquer and defeat the Onyxs. But…

“What would I have to do?” He asked, and suddenly Hentzau returned at side of his captain.

“Tell us everything you hear” Explained Kami’en.

“That’ll be a lot and I’ll need a way to communicate with you…”

“I don’t think Onyxs said much around their bastards” Stated Hentzau, with a suspicious look at Nerron.

“Right. But I’m alive because I stole a couple of twin spiders. All I have to do is to put one in my…in the prince’s pockets and I’ll know everything.” The Carnelian smiled and rested his gaze upon Hentzau.

“I don’t like him” he said.

“As I had expected. You see, Nerron, my jasper goyl helps me considering more than one opinion. It’s always useful… We’ll contact you; you only have to remember everything you find.”

“Ok”

“And I give you my word we will protect your family” At this, Nerron nodded. He didn’t know why, but he trusted that goyl’s ideas…a better future, a better life, it all seemed on the top of his fingers...

Then Hentzau made a gesture towards the exit. And Nerron turned his back to them and started walking away.

“We have another Onyx bastard, why do we need him?” Said Hentzau, just as Nerron wasn’t still there. He continued walking.

“I have a sensation… And you don’t even like Noc’ne!” That Noc’ne that had climbed to the top of the cave containing the Onyx’s Lake only because they had said he couldn’t? That arrogant and stunning moron that once had put a salamander into Nerron’s clothes?

“He’s haughty, sly and eats way too much chocolate, he always finishes our stocks!”

“But he is a great soldier and…oh, right, Nerron?” The goyl stopped in mid step and turned around. He was already in the tunnel, almost around the corner, what did the captain of the rebellion want from him?

“Yes?”

“They want you to be useful for them, so you have to keep them thinking you are loyal to them.” Oh, they needed him because Noc’ne was reputed untrustful by the Onyxs? “That doesn’t mean you have to be a killer. Princes need lots of other things, like… If you’re great at stealing, why don’t you convince them you can be a…I don’t know…Treasure Hunter?”

(PS: I’m an idiot and I forgot this at first: Noc’ne belongs to @goylempire and I expect great things from him)
