However, as days turned into weeks he began to despair of ever teaching her to control her talents, much less use them in his service. Cybrix, terrified of both her abilities and of Trersia, had simply strengthened her shields. She had walled herself up so tightly Trersia couldnt even see the glimmer of magic upon her anymore. Finally, his frustration broke. He leapt of his throne and created a fireball between his hands. But just before he was going to throw it at the frightened Cybrix, he stopped. "What's this my little demon??" Trersia allowed the fireball to dissapate. "Such a joyful leap? Such greed!?!" Trersia sat back down and pondered. He seemed sunk wihtin himself, but Cybrix suspected he was looking more closely at his demon, who had, of course, grown stronger in the weeks conquests. "Ahhh, I see it now! How stupid of me not to have realized it earlier !! No wonder you are so greedy little one. To feed upon such a huge amount of magic at once you just might be able to break free!" Trersia stared at the little girl, "Well, then it will not do to kill you within range of my pet here will it, it will not do at all!" Trersia began to pace the length of the room. Finally, he called one of the faceless ones. "Take her to her cell and keep her there. I will call for her when I have decided what must be done. She shall be punished still, be certain of that, I simply must perfect my judgment!!" *************************************** Cybrix sat in her cell anxiously. What punishment could be worse than death?? At least, she consoled herself, my essence won't be stuck for ever in that demons black goo. After a week had passed one of the faceless ones came for her again. "I do believe I have found the perfect punishment, my child," Trersia chuckled maliciously, "now just stand still please." Trersia sunk into a deep trance, it appear he would need to draw deeply on his magic to perform his revenge in the innocent girl. "First to make sure no one wants to help you!" Crybrix felt her body begin to shrink, her legs and arms wither. *Whats happening to me??* she wondered. "Second, and if I do say so myself this is a fine touch of mastery, to pay you back for refusing to use your talents for me!" Cybrix appeared suddenly to choke slightly, and her eyes widened in panic. "And finally, to make sure you manage to die somewhere out of reach of my pet!" Cybrix squirmed on the floor and an incredible pain manifested in her upper back. Trersia came out of his trance looking pale. As he inspected his handiwork he laugh his offkey laugh uproarously. "Success! Oh it is too perfect!" And with that he grabbed Cybrix and threw her out the window to the ocean!
