New law of Beast Taming

Anya’s insistence opened a new door for Amane to interfere. She knew what she had to do, and there was no need to hold back now.

"Hey, are you seriously going to agree with the shady things they want to do? Anya, consider your situation and-"

"I have considered my situation and came to this conclusion, Loki. It’s scary not to know what is happening with your body. I want to be free, even if it ends up killing me. So let me do this."

Anya’s begging made Loki go quiet. He was weak in front of her, and Anya turned toward Amane. She held her hand out, and her eyes shined in determination.

"What do I need to do now? I am ready to accept any outcome you offer me. So, tell me, what do I need to do?"

Anya looked earnest and confident. Amane was sure that Anya could survive with her spirit and will.

There was no more time to waste. Amane snapped her finger, and the room turned dim. She wanted to eliminate the curse as soon as possible but settled for putting a tracker on Anya for now.

"Here, this is my messenger. It will tell me if anything happens to you. Try to keep yourself safe. But if you can’t, destroy this butterfly, and I will help you."

One of the blood butterflies separated from Amane’s skin and drifted toward Anya. It sank slowly into her skin and became a tattoo.

Anya looked at her arm in fascination. She had never seen abilities like this before. It made her inner scientist itch to try new things out. She wanted to figure out how these spells worked.

But Anya needed to take things slow. There was no need for her to rush her research.

"I understand. I will be careful and tell you if I find something."

Amane smiled and snapped her fingers. Loki’s chains came off, and he immediately headed toward Anya. he quickly checked her over, and his worry faded.

"Don’t worry. I did not touch Anya or harm her. She is perfectly alright."

Amane assured, but Loki did not trust her words. He wanted to check on Anya himself. Once he was sure Anya was alright, Loki’s anger and worry deflated like a balloon.

His arms circled Anya’s body, and he hugged her tightly.

"Don’t scare me like this. I thought I lost you, Anya. I was so worried about you that it hurt."

Loki’s voice was suspiciously wet. Anya closed her arms around him, trying to make Loki feel better.

"Aww, come on. I am more resilient than you give me credit for. I told you I can take care of myself. Besides, I am not harmed, so you can let me go now."

"Looks like we solved one problem, Sean. Let’s head out now. There is no point in us remaining in this cell."

Amane dragged Sean and the warden out of the room. The warden looked worried, but Sean followed Amane’s given lead without a hitch.

"Are you sure leaving them alone in that room is wise? What if an incident happens to one of them?"

Sean asked while looking at Amane. His face did not betray his worry, but his voice had a sliver of concern.

But it was tough to tell what he felt this concern for.

"It’ll be alright. Anya has my mark on her, so I will know if anything happens. I will send you a message when it is time to move."

Sean sighed once he heard Amane’s plan. It worked in his favor, so he should be happy about it. But it worried him instead.

He was feeling…restless and annoyed with the uncertainty of what would happen. But he had no choice in anything. He had to trust these people and pray that things would play out as he wanted them to.

"Do what you want. I will inform my mother of what happened here."

Amane nodded back at him, and Sean left the detention center. The warden watched it happen with a tight jaw.

Now that his safety net had passed, the warden was unsure what would happen to him. He doubted that Amane would be punished even if she killed him.

"Warden, I need you to do something for me. Do you think you have the authority?"

Amane asked, and the warden jerked his head to look at Amane. He immediately nodded in agreement even before he knew what the favor was.

"I will do it. If it is something I can do, I will fulfil your wish."

The warden wanted to impress Amane, so he agreed to anything he was asked. This reaction amused Amane, but she needed the warden to be vigilant.

"What I want you to do is simple - permit me to roam around the detention center without being called out. I can do so anyway, but the guard on duty must pay the price. I don’t want that for them."

Amane ordered the warden. It was easy for him to do, but he still hesitated. Doing something like this would undermine his authority as a warden.

’But this is not about my pride; this is about my life.’

"Of course, you can roam around as you want. I will add more to your freedom and give you access to restricted areas. You can continue your investigation as freely as you want."

Amane was thankful but also in a playful mood. She looked at the warden, and he felt nervous to hold Amane’s uninvited attention.

"Investigation? I never said anything about it, right? I don’t know what you are talking about."

The warden hiccupped once Amane looked at him. He was nervous, and his heart skipped a few beats.

"A-Ah, yes, no investigation. I mean, you can look around the detention center as much as you want to. Please do as you wish."

The warden tripped over his words quite a few times. He did not know what he wanted to say and made a fool of himself.

Amane watched this happen a few times before pulling herself together and leaving the room. There was much she had to do now.

But first, she needed to catch up on her sleep. Being in the detention center was tiring her out.

She opened the door to her room and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. Her surroundings faded, and Amane was pulled into a familiar dream with familiar faces.

But this time, the context was neither relaxed nor sexy. Her dream reflected what had happened to her in the past.

...

"YOU CANNOT DO THIS TO US? WHY ARE YOU PUNISHING US? WHAT DID WE DO?"

Someone was yelling. Amane’s mind remembered the voice. It belonged to Kori.

Her dear Kori was yelling at something while looking up. But the intensity of the light surrounding the pair made it impossible to see anything.

[The fault is yours. You breached the contract of your existence and harmed those you should not have. Thus, the consequences are yours to bear.]

The voice was not wrong to say this. Living creatures on this earth could be harmed under the circumstances.

Kori had tried to wipe out all the people connected with her punishment and downfall. And the law of gods had no liked it. It had wanted to punish Kori by erasing her existence.

Of course, Amane had not allowed this and agreed to share Kori’s punishment.

Ultimately, her punishment for siding with Kori and helping her out had been worse than Kori’s. Her bruised and battered body was proof of that.

"Breach of contract? You call letting these cancers roam around freely their right, and when I try to teach them a lesson, it becomes a breach of contract? Those creatures experimented on us until we lost ourselves. Even the other humans were not safe from their tyranny."

"How can you protect such creatures as well? You should be ashamed of yourself."

Kori yelled out. She was justified in her anger, and Amane agreed with her statements.

The protection of the law for all creatures did not make sense. Kori wanted to change it, just as Amane had desired to long ago.

But loneliness had settled in quickly when Amane had been banished, and she had forgotten all about it.

Now, Amane just wanted to rest and forget about the past. How unfortunate that the past refused to let her go.

[Your arrogance and ignorance are pathetic. If you want something, then take it into your own hands. Do not stand before me unless you can form the world you desire.]

The law had spoken, and Kori was denied any right to speak. Kori was boiling with anger and regret.

"B-Brother-"

Amane did not remember her voice being this weak or small at that moment. She did not remember much of what happened that day. But she knew she had been trying to hold on to her sanity.

It was working wonders for now, and Amane could concentrate.

"Brother…do…not come…for Ko…ri. She’s…a…child…"

Amane had begged for Kori’s life. This, she remembered, was also the reason for their first rift.

[Your begging, I will accept. You paid a huge price for your actions, so that I will acknowledge your efforts. Do not show yourself in front of me again.]

The law had spoken, and the trial ended. Kori’s grip on Amane tightened, and she looked enraged. Kori was going to do something foolish at this rate.

So, Amane needed to stop her. Kori’s life was precious; she needed to live long and do good things.
