Chapter 3: Death?
Looking at Marco struggling to keep his senses the entity explained simply "We are merging back into one being." A long silence followed the dark entity's words, nothing was said for a long time until Marco shouted "WHAT DO MEAN MERGE! WHAT ON EARTH IS HAPPENING TO ME?" Continuing to ignore the frantic shouting of Marco the entity reached towards Marco's heart.
In a fluid motion, its hand was suddenly thrust inside his chest and gripping Marco's frantically beating heart. Feeling the wellspring of pain returning Marco lost it and shouted uncontrollably, the only difference was that he couldn't move. Marco desperately struggled but he couldn't move. Slowly the being's figure started to fade and slowly moved towards the gripped heart.
Feeling some relief Marco returned to his senses and looked around, only to see a ghost-like figure ahead of him slowly disappearing into his chest. Panicking Marco thought that the entity was killing him. Gritting his teeth he did his best to struggle, like a man possessed his bloodshot eyes glimmered with insanity as he did his best to free himself. If he were calm, he would notice that the pain coursing through his body was quickly fading away as well as his body rapidly changing.
Slowly the useless fat on Marco's body started to burn, bones started breaking, snapping, and reforming at an observable speed. His eyes started turning pitch black, still struggling he did not notice that he was being rejuvenated in every possible manner. His soul was shining and power started to pulsate from his heart. As the energy being expelled started to climb further it seemed like a dark sun was pulsating heat. Power in the purest sense of the word pooled, expelled, and returned to his body. Realizing that he hadn't died even though his heart was literally in someone's hand he looked down and saw his chest.
Yes, his shirt was destroyed, and yes there was blood staining his entire body. The only thing missing was the gaping hole in his chest, confused he quickly checked his chest moving slowly. Not believing his eyes he touched his chest unaware that he could freely move. Immensely relieved, Marco sighed in relief before he could relax and enjoy being in one piece again a light suddenly flashed ahead of him, it engulfed him before he knew what happened.
When Marco opened his eyes, he saw something incredible. Opening his eyes wide in shock he muttered "Did the world end?" He looked around only sand was seen, ash started to slowly rain down making him wonder what on earth happened around him. Shocked all he did was look around dumbfounded with his pitch-black eyes. Not registering how long he stood in place being dumbfounded he felt two beings approaching him at rapid speed. Turning his head to their direction he was once again dumbfounded seeing two of the most beautiful women he laid eyes on flying in his direction one with a pained face and the other outright crying and reaching out toward him.
Instinctively wanting to comfort that beautiful crying woman he reached out to catch her. Ema crashed into his chest. Ooof, all the air burst from his lungs and he fell on his rump. Ema didn't care and just hugged him tighter not holding back the waterworks. She kept muttering apologies and saying "Darling is ok, he is ok, he is ok." Tightly hugging Marco while hiding her face in his chest she refused to let him go. Seeing the woman cling so tightly to him and hearing her through her sobs he stroked her head and said in a calming voice "It's ok". After repeating himself a couple of times she finally stopped sobbing but didn't let him go.
On this right, he saw Diya with a gentle expression on her face staring at him. Awkward and confused he looked away from her while blushing. A loving expression bloomed on her face and she walked towards Marco. Kneeling she gently took his face and met him with a gentle kiss. Shocked Marco was stunned, not knowing what happened on his commute to work. The first thing was growth in this portfolio, next was getting tortured for who knows how long. Thinking he died as something literally grabbed his heart, waking up in a wasteland and having the embrace of two divinely beautiful women.
After they separated from their kiss Marco was extremely embarrassed but getting extremely excited. Ema twitched as she felt something on her stomach raring to go, he looked down, smiling wife was shown but he instinctively thought that this was normal. Giving a gentle and knowing smile Ema slowly climbed him and seductively licked his neck. The simple action sent shivers down Marco's spine. He felt extremely excited but he needed to know what happened first. Before he could voice those thoughts Diya pulled Ema off Marco and she snapped her fingers and a robe clothed Marco. She then snapped again
After their moment Diya suggested that they head back home. Looking blankly at her Marco was confused "Head back home? wait My HOUSE!?" Opening his eyes wide head spinning to make excuses to visit his tiny bachelor pad. Watching Marco's face Diya giggled gently waving her hand "No, no worries we have a place". Feeling saved from the embarrassment he nodded and said "Let's go now" turning around and carrying Ema stiffly.
Laughing Ema smiled and jumped out from Marco's embrace then kissed him on the lips aggressively. Stunned Marco froze making Ema's kiss more aggressive before she snapped her fingers.
