Chapter 169 - Chapter 168 Strain

"Yes I will help you, but only the twins will ask of us, what have we said, what have we agreed on, what will you do Bal?" 

Bal smirked recalling the last time Lugh and him spoke as he stood up from his chair, Formoir curled in his hair eight eyes lazy scanned around the room when Bal opened the door, checking beside the door, he had his men posted there, shaking from just his entrance. He smirked darkly his hand pats one of them, 

"Don't worry about me, but I want to ask," Ball purred, waiting, building hesitance and fear in them, and Foroir reveled in it, moving to the edge of his hair, staring down the other guard. They froze, not falling to stare at him, the man only watched Bal and his associate. 

"Where's Don? I've called for him for an hour, but nothing seems to have fallen off my radar." 

"In the front boss, he has his hand full," 

The man let out, struggling under Bal's grip, taking his shoulder, his hand a tough grip that he could feel left a bruise, the man shakes, hearing the amused question coming from his grinned lips, 

"With whom? And why is it taking so long? He would have made them his rabbit from how much time they've taken from him" 

"The sisters are flying around him. Ceth has been asking him what happened with your meeting for the past hour. Lenn just watched them, but that's.. All i can recall," 

Bal leaned back, his head tilted in deep thought. So they have come here for an answer or a pact of some kind, don't they have their oath with Blake to, Bal thought, letting of his men and set a stride to the front of his estate, Bal smirked wickedly couldn't hear his men's confused stutters, he felt Formoir step to the front of his head staring ahead,

"So they're here for another cause?" 

Formoir wondered. His eyes squinted and he purred out amused, 

"there here for you how delightfully convenient, they will do nicely,"

"It might I want to see it for my own Formoir," 

Bal explained his hair moving with his stride, he turned to the next hallway that lead to the foyer, he felt the sting of power coursing through him, the path that tithered them all together casting a flow of bitter strength across them, Bal marched through the hallway he sees he dark foyer the floor marble like web his feet stomped on, he saw Don regarded Ceth her presence like a sun, glowing with the rise of her voice, 

"I want to know why I wasn't thought of for this little plan" 

Ceth eyes glowed , a yellow glow that seemed to stop the room, her hair in a tight bun seemed to have unraveled blond gold curls falling like a waterfall, like a rising flame. 

"Where is that piece if shit, I want some answer now" Ceth demanded 

Don for his part stared at her stoically, his eyebrow raised, his rabbit doubled in size, staring at Ceth and Lenn empty wide eyes but his legs stiff, prepared to launch at them. Lenn stared at the rabbit as empty her hand clenched onto her sides, her hues softer than Ceth and the glow that complemented her sister. A soft light pink that looked of a blooming sakura tree, her hair a deep red flowed through the wind that Ceth made by moving her hand, Ceth raised her hand, and butterflies appeared around her hand, a yellow gleam around her. She glared at Don, her face a snare, 

"Where is he? I want to know his messed up head…"

Ceth eyes gleamed down onto Don her hand held her angel around her, the angel purred, moving in her hand, staring down at Don with such contempt it made Don pause for a moment, Don sighed and went to sooth her, a chill crawled over his shoulder, Don eyes shot behind him and the feeling on his shoulder crawled to the edge with a mocking voice, 

"You can't control your host either…how pathetic, Brand," 

Formoir peered at Ceth. Brand lay lazily on her hand, staring down at Formoir, she scoffed her wings a slight flutter, 

"I won't call it pathetic, but of good use," Brand dismissed her head turned to the person behind Don, Ceth glared, stayed on Don her hand didn't move when another voice stark but sarcastic person stepped into the light. 

"Calm down im right here Ceth," 

Bal commanded and his gaze treaded right to her, his gaze an analyzing squint with his smirk grew into grin, his signature grin that made the most loyal to Ceth and Lenn cringe behind them, made a shiver down every spin and each body made weak, except Ceth and Lenn, they stared at Bal, Ceth with malice and bareilly hidden hate, Lenn stared at him cautiously but a blatant indifference, her angel fluttered on her cheek fluttering shyly, a soft strength that she's known for. 

"Bal you piece of shit what is the meaning of this?" Ceth seethed 

Bal walked past Don passing a stern look snet a a message, stay clear i will handle this mess, Don stood back his dark eyes and soft rabbit placed at his feet growing bigger with the looming threat of the two, Bal felt Formoir snag onto Bal crawling onto huis back, heading towards the head, Bal stood before them, his grin waning into a stern frown. 

"Meaning of what?" 

Ceth felt her eye twitch from Bal's jovial question, that ment more to mock than to help her, she placed her hand down and Brand moved laying on her head, her judgmental glare stayed on the spider, 

"Of you and Lugh," Ceth clarified 

"Me and Lugh i see that came out," Bal hummed his hand pets Formoir who hissed, his eight eyes glared at him Bal only laughed in response his gaze flickered back to Ceth, an intrigued glare laid on her, he glanced at Lenn and saw her staring back at him a calm power, one that wont step in until necessary, or Ceth went off the hinges. Bal saw her angel Ain on her cheek walked to her ear, whispering to her, Bal eyes slit and he asked, 

"How did you even find that? I'm sure our conversation was tight lipped no one else would know of it," 

Bal caught a light shine coming from Ain who now hid behind Lenn's ear, Bal's eyes widened recalling something from the conversation a soft glow came from his window. Pink barely noticeable then but now Bal knew it was Ain, he glared his grin returning. 

"I see now…you sent your sister after me how sacrificial you are Ceth" Bal uttered his grin of malice filled with hidden irritation. 

Ceth smirked this time her smile brightened up the foyer, stepping closer to Bal her chuckle bounced off the walls, Lenn followed her slowly, her face blank however her eyes had a subtle shine in them making her alive. Ceth touched Formoir slightly with her smirk a wicked one, 

"You see it now, that means I get to negotiate with you then since we can agree," Ceth admonished her hand trailing over his neck. Bal stared at her, analyzing her. Her true intention was to manipulate him. He knew that, but to make a delay of sorts that Ceth wanted even if the risk of breaking the oath was tempting. Even for him, 

"No one can trust Blake…no one can trust the silver flame. But you can't even trust Lugh, me or Lenn, but we have a thing in common." 

Ceth touched Bal wound seeing the search from Avalon's blade, she clicked her tongue and stared back at him, 

"We need Avalon gone, out of our way to deal with Blake. That oath is a chain tied around us. if Not you certainly did think so, nasty burn you have bug "

Ceth continued to say her hand slipped away landing softly at her side tilting her head she waited. Bal observed her, his eyes a slit and his body tensed, 

"She isn't wrong." Bal thought knowing Formoir could hear him. The spider opened his eyes. The blue and brown gleamed at him as they stared at each other, 

"She isn't but I would hear her out before throwing her on her ass. She's annoying as her angel" 

"I won't be hearing them for long but to see what Ceth has with her…what Lenn really wants from this would be amusing," 

"And you do want to get rid of Avalon this is one of the ways forward, they won't be much of a bother for us but for now listen" 

Formoir finished closing his eyes, snuggling into Bal's hair. Bal looked back down at Ceth his voice a harsh mocking, 

"I will hear you out you raging minx" Bal scoffed moving aside,

Ceth smiled at him a hush prideful chirp, 

"I thought you would agree with me Bal, come on Lenn lets see if we can get a foot hold in," 

Ceth strolled in her angel made more of her butterflies, caressing on Ceth's hair looking like a living crown on her head, Lenn followed slowly and Bal noticed when she stopped in front of him, her pink eyes glanced up at him, 

"I understand you are hesitant.."

Lenn uttered her gaze shines. Her hand behind her back, Bal witnessed Ain wings behind Lenn's ear. The angel is staring at him not Formoir, she knew they were talking through their link. There connection they have and she heard it. From the look Bal is receiving,

"You do what you want…im not having any of this"

Lenn finishes looking away from him and treads to Ceth, heading to his office. Bal stood there, his eyes squinted. 

"Want nothing of it?" 

Bal inquired, staring at where Lenn went, his eyes turned to slits like a predator. when he grins covered half of his face, he picked up Formoir placing him in his hand, Formoir glared at Bal standing, 

"Why have you picked me…" 

Bal cut him off, a malice filled tone went through his voice. 

"So Lenn wants nothing of this anymore." 

Formoir nods slowly, if she didn't want to be a part of this, it wouldn't matter, her sister would drag her in. 

"After her fight with Avalon Im not shocked Ceth and her angel left her in pain. This is interesting Formoir, imagine it" Bal emphasized

He leaned in his eyes stayed on Formoirs, a little chuckle escaped his lips, 

"Do you think Ain wont follow her host lead after her own sister wanted her dead? Her host dead?" 

"I think Ain is kidding how she feels about it, yes. But she wont show it to Brand and defiantly not Ceth" 

Formoir contemplated, one of his feet on Bal's hand as Bal moved slowly walking to his office hearing Ceth talking to a silent Lenn, Bal grin flaunted around the room Don following softly behind him,

"think if the controversy, Lenn and Ain wont risk them, after that she will not have anyone to turn to Formoir," 

Bal whispered conspiring quietly carrying Formoir to his office a dark insidious power went around the two, Formoir hummed thinking. 

"Your right flesh bag…happens every once and a while," 

Formoir mumbled laid on Bal's hand, staring ahead anticipating their next deal, their next manipulation. Bal smiled at Formoir a shrug, 

"I try this time I think we will have more than we have barged for,"

Bal told his little angel as the door opened to his office, Ceth with Brand, Ceth messing with Brand who laid on her finger moving up and down, Lenn sat on the other chair her hands in her lap and Ain on her nose talking with her, Lenn's eyes soft but stern listen intently,

"Sorry to keep you all waiting" 

Bal smirked "we were just thinking of this new deal"
