《The Queen of School》Euphemism
Advertisement
-W..Well if you help me I..I don't mind a little pain- What is wrong with his mind? And what in hell is he blushing for?!
-You say that you are the god of intelligence, and I don't know what, but you can distinguish the sarcasm in my voice- I think that the disdain could be clearly seen in my speech, but when I look at him and see him with that stupid look on him. I have no idea if he is faking it, or he is truly dumb.
-I have a question to ask you first. If I help you, and I am unable to find your "reliques" will this tattoo do something to me? You know that I am here since I got the last place in the whole school, right?- It would be a pain in my laziness if I HAD to help him, but if this thing endangers my existence that would be no joke.
-Eh? Ah! the mark in your arm. Oh, that is totally harmless. If you are unable to find it nothing will happen and it will only appear as a decoration, but in the case that you are able to find my body and powers, it would allow me to be able to change your fate by fulfilling one of your wishes. Cool right?- He said that in a totally relaxed manner, and at the end he even puffed his chest, and raised his chin. I don't know if it's me or his nose grew to be a mile long.
-....If this thing would do nothing bad to me, then why would I want to help you-
When I said that Enki's jaw opened as if he just realized that what he told me gave me a reason to refuse his plea. Truth to be told, it was a pretty funny face not for nothing he is the god of mischievousness.
-Well, if you excuse me I need to find where are all the books and the shelves and rearrange them. You can roam around the library for what I care, but only one thing. Under no circumstance do you dare to disturb me as you might have experienced early I can have a pretty bad temperament. Well, Cya- I said while leaning a little over him to make my point clear, then I turned around and waved my hand to him. But seriously where are the books. While I was talking with Enki I was searching throughout all the house, but I could not find even a piece of paper in the whole house. Is this really a library? Now what I am going to do when I get bored?

When I walked 10 or so steps, Enki finally woke up from his shock and appeared in front of me his face had an unnatural seriousness in it.
-This is your last chance. I offer you a deal. If you help me recover my anterior status I will tell you where the book, but if you don't, then...-
- . . . Then what?-

Narrator POV
****************
The sound disappeared. It was like there was deprived of it, to begin with. The temperature dropped drastically, but Raven seemed as she did not notice it at all. Her eyes were focused on Enki's and did not move from there. Even Enki as a God began to feel something that he had not felt in a long time, fear.
-...Let me tell you something. The thing that I hate the most, other than following orders, is to be threatened, and you just did that. You think that you are invincible since you have no physical body, but let me tell you this, for the entire world you could be totally invisible, but if I want you dead there is nothing that can stop me from seeing you breathe your last breath- Her voice was the same as freezing point. With every word that left her lips a dreadful aura began to create surrounding her and Enki.
-Eh?-
-Oh, no no no. How can you twist my words to that point? I just wanted to make an equal deal- Enki did not know why, but he began to panic. He was sure that if he were to be alive beads of sweat the size of beans would be dripping in his forehead. That was how much pressure he was under.
-Seems that even in the ancient times there were euphemism, well if we take into account that you are the God of Knowledge, there is nothing wrong that you know how to manipulate the way you speak- Her face was devoid of any emotion, but her eyes were full of killing intent.
-And since I don't think that words would convey message I would need to use a batter way of communication- Raven said as her hand reached her neck where a necklace with the shape of a waning moon was hanging.

Seeing that Enki got even more nervous. He did not know why, but he knew that if she reached that necklace bad thing would happen.
-WAIT! You can't, no you must not hurt me!- Enki said just before Raven touched the necklace. Raven's hand stopped, and her eyes fell of his.
-Why I mustn't? Or is it that you are ordering me?- Raven's tone got even colder, so Enki in a struggle for survival said -It's not like that. Let me finish first. I am telling you that you mustn't hurt me since the library is me, and I am the library. If I disappeared, the library would too- Raven stopped all movement, then her hand slowly began to go down. Enki seeing this let out a sight.
-That is why I told you that you would not be able to find the books withoutmy help, so of you want the books..
- Enki did not finishedwhen he saw that the cold expression in Raven'sface was returning and that her hand was nearing her neck again.
-Seriously let me finish. It's not what you think- letting out another sight he began to explain.
-Look around, do you see the conditions of the building? Well, in part is because I thought it would attract people, but the other reason it is like this is because I don't have enough power to maintain it anymore. Like you told me it has been 5,000 years since I was sealed, so the remains of my power are running out. I was sealed in this place; hence, I can not leave, but if you form a contract with me I would be able to, and by doing so I might find a way to recover some of my power to get out some books for you, but I am not a simple library since I am the God of knowledge you just need to think of a book and I will have it- Enki explained in a single breath to try to convince Raven for doing something that could endanger his existence.
-Enki...- when hearing his name coming out of her mouth, he felt a not in his throat.
-Why did you say so earlier? Let's do the contract or whatever. I promise you that I will make you have a physical body in less than four years!- Raven said happily. Her smile as blooming flowers was so different from her anterior expression that is seemed as if the Raven from a second ago was an illusion.
-...Oh, to make the contract is pretty simple. You just need to put some of your blood in the mark; furthermore, since you would be in a contract with me your affinity with water would increase drastically. You could even said that it is now a part of your body-
Even though that Enki was explaining, Raven didn't seem to care as she bit her thumb finger untill blood was dripping from her finger and made an line going across the whole mark. When she finished, a light began to come out of the tattoo and evolved her completely. When the light ended her hair was no longer white, but a beautiful marine blue, and her eyes an exquisite turquoise.

8 290Force Majeure: A web novel
In the Qursan Empire, the grey walls of the city press down on its subjects. It is a highly divided society which is based on the magical strength of its citizens. While the most powerful are trained as Mages, the majority of citizens use their limited skills with essence to power the city in their assigned jobs. Jano is pretty much the lowest of the low in the Qursan Empire. A Class Ten citizen forced into transitory work after having his power restricted. When he gets the opportunity to change all of that, he takes it with both hands. Please note this is an edited version of my story ‘city of captives’. It follows a similar structure but I’ve ironed out some of the kinks. If you read that version, much of this will be similar though there are some differences. This is a slow burning progression fantasy. Please expect at least two chapters per week. I love writing this story but I do have unfortunate things to deal with like work and life outside of writing. I may be able to write and edit more than that, but it will never be less! If you enjoy this, consider following me on Instagram by just searching Crow J Williams.
