Are you A masochist?
“You’re gonna regret making that attempt on my life, Eclipse.” The sugar glider stepped backwards in panic. How could he still be standing after he was fatally wounded in the chest? Nobody could survive that. The blind hedgehog kept his slow pace towards his former friend, staring her down with soulless silver eyes. The rumors were obviously true. Cyno the Hedgehog could not be claimed by death. He had cheated it a total of three times and he was about to do it again. She had stabbed him in the chest with her poisonous blade, “The Scorpio”, something she thought would finish him, yet he stood about twelve yards away from her in that dark forest, smirking. “Are you some sort of masochist, Cyno?” asked the sugar glider doing her absolute best to hide her fear from her former ally. “Does pain feel that good to you that you would keep coming for more injuries? Is that why you keep coming?” Cyno was quiet for a moment before speaking. He had remembered being asked that question before. Before, it was asked by someone completely different than the monster before him. That time, the answer was different. “Depends….” He said quietly, his mere voice stabbed the air making the tension more extreme and cold. “Depends?” she asked preparing to bring out her blade again. “On what?” “…on the eye of the beholder.” Replied the black hedgehog in the same threating monotone voice, slowly making his smirk disappear. He was calm, a little too calm for someone so angry. He took a few steps forward and spoke. “You took away my vision, my trust, my hope, and almost my life. Twice now. But the most important thing you took away from me was my family.” Cyno stopped, shortening the original distance to half its size then continued. “These things I held very dear to my heart. But now I have friends, who have become also more like family. And you will not bring harm them.” He removed the hand that was covering his bloody chest and held it out. Suddenly it changed it’s form to an icy blade and he held it to his side. “So to make doubly sure you don’t, I’m going to take away the one thing that you hold dear….” Eclipse’s eyes shuddered in fear. She knew what that very thing was and she knew nothing would stop him from taking it. Not this time……
A word of advice, don’t cross Cyno. He’ll take as much pain and torture as he can in order to assure himself that those he cares for are safe.
