Barbaric realms

"Shai, why don't you sit down? We don't want your stitches to open up."

The figure went up to her, laying his hands on her shoulders, Shai pushed his hands off and stared at him with certainty. Something was wrong, and it involved them,

"I rather you tell me what happened,"

The figure let out a breath, He pointed at Shai, and he moved her to the bed. Shai stared around her, then back at the figure,

"Did you just teleport me back to the bed?" Shai inquired

The figure pointed at the chair and made it move to be in front of her, The figure sat in the chair, opening his hand, making a glass of whiskey appear,

"Yes, I did. You weren't going to listen to me otherwise," the figure told her,

"I wish I could do that on my own, I want to go to bed, poof I'm there,"

The figure let out a hearty chuckle and took a sip of his whisky. But it is stopped by Shai taking his drink and setting it aside. The figure looked at her and was irritated,

"Why did you take…"

"It's about the people you work for, right?"

They stared at each other, not wavering to the other. The figure saw a shine of gold show up in Shai's eyes. The figure felt a shiver try to come up his spine.

"This should tell of what they see in her… I already know what she could be and is. What they see is to exploit. While I wanted at first, I just wanted to get the job done, which changed the more I was in her presence,"

"You should keep that in your head, not out loud,"

The figure, shocked, looked at Shai, and She huffed, sitting back, thinking of the figure she saw after fighting Herman. The figure noticed her change and started to wonder what had happened, but before he could. Shai started to say,

"When I fainted, one of the figures you work under was there in my dreams."

"They went into your head?"

"That's a way to say it, but she congratulated me on the AI, then started to ask if I knew her,"

Shai remembered the look in her eyes as she spoke to her. It was infatuated like a child with a new toy. It concerned her what their inattentions are, the figher noticed her exasperation, it only made him more counserned.

"You don't have to say more, Shai."

"She talked about the scroll figure."

The figure knew that the higher-ups would know of the scroll, which means Shai talked to one of the top three. Who would that be. There were two men but one woman.

"Shai, was it a man you talked to?"

"No, it was a woman,"

His eyes widened, and Shai was talking with her, the watcher of it all. She gets down from her high tower just to see Shai. This won't be good, not for anyone, not for this realm, the figure stayed quiet, thinking

"I could take her to a new realm, but they would find out quickly. Taking her back will only cause more trouble for this realm and the one she's born in,"

"Stop,"

The figure's gaze was on his glass but went to Shai. She looked at him as if she knew what he was thinking of. Shai stood up, feeling her shoulder pain from the pressure she had on it,

"This woman is important right almost the head..."

"She's the head of them,"

"Then I shouldn't run until I know what her intentions are,"

"I don't think that for the best, Shai, she could know where you are. She could use this to the advantage of you, Shai, and blind you to her real intentions,"

"Do you mean the weapon?"

Shai watched the figure, taken aback by her response. Shai knew only so much of this problem, of the higher up. but she would not be caught off guard again.

"She asked of it?" 

"No, she called me the holder, and that's all I need to know for this figure to be an adversary,"

Shai told him and felt her hand heat up again. The figure glanced at it with a small chuckle, seeing that she still had strength in her.

"That's good. We are going to need it. I have a feeling you will have the ire of the higher up because of what you did,"

"They can watch all they want, but they're not going to do that for long,"

Shai muttered and walked over to the remote, turning the volume of the television up and noticing that it was Judy questioning Max Klaus. A moment Judy waited years for,

"I see that Judy has the man that was behind the curtain in front of her,"

"That she has figuer,"

The figure moved off the chair to her and stood beside her, listening to the questions being asked,

"You have funded the North Carolina lab because of the Ai? Is that true?"

"Yes, I have,"

"Then can you admit that you turned the AI basic functions for your gain and intentions,"

Judy looked up at him from her papers and saw that he had his secretary leaned into his ear,

"Excuse me, but what are you telling him,"

They looked up at the Chairwoman, Frankie was staring at the two sternly, Max told the secretary to move back,

"She was just warning me of some..."

"Well, if it's not urgent, then it can wait. Go ahead, Senator from Washington,"

The camera moved back to Judy, who continued to question Max Klaus. Shai watched this unfold in front of her.? Did she like seeing his life be torn apart? No. But she did know that this is what happened to them that broke the law,

"It seems that lady justice is truly blind in this realm?"

Shai glanced at the figure,

"It's only started, Figure. He wasn't the only one in that foundation, but if this is the start, then yes, she is truly blind."

"That we can agree with,"

The door opened to the room showing Eurus with a prototype of a new gun, almost like her but not quite, He had it pointed at the figure, but seeing that it was only the figure,

"You didn't say anything about being here,"

Eurus told him, he put the weapon to his side and the figure noticed the weapon looked similar to the weapon Shai holds,

"I didn't think I would need to, but I will remind you about it next time," the figure said

The figure pointed at the weapon and asked,

"You based that on her weapon?"

"Sort of. Shai asked for it to be scanning it to see if it had something in it, but it didn't work,"

Eurus glanced at the gun before looking back at the two,

"Did you make it, or did Claire make it?"

"Shai let me and Claire scan it, but she was able to make the bullet burn when shot, almost like a fire. Other than that, it was just a gun,"

"My, I see it?"

Eurus passed the gun over to the figure, while Shai's gaze was on them before turning back to the television and muttering,

"I didn't think Claire would get that done until July,"

"I wouldn't say done this is a prototype,"

Eurus went over to Shai and watched his aunt rip into Max Klaus. She had that angry glint in her eyes. She's about to become his worst nightmare if not. Eurus let out a chuckle, knowing how long she had waited for this moment.

"Haven't you changed the AI program?"

"I don't know what you mean. It should be under the watchful eyes of his former creator at that time it…"

"So, these notes written by the creator of the Ai, Sidney Lincoln would say otherwise,"

Judy held one of the notes up, letting the cameras zoom in on it,

"Note fourteenth and fifteen was when you came to Sindey, and I quote, "I want to use it for something more. Something that can help humanity's problems,"

"That could have been..."

"I wouldn't lie here, Mister Klaus, "Do you know what you're giving up, Miss Lincon? Fame. Wealth. And all that could ever imagine at the palm of your hand and you want to throw that away,"

Shai and Eurus looked at each other, and the figure placed the prototype on the bed. He stood by them again, watching The questioning of Max Klaus,

"You could have all the power and take what is rightfully yours, Sidney,"

Judy turned to Max, and Max glared at her for a moment before stopping.

"You weren't involved, right? This says otherwise," Judy asked

Max shifts in his seat before answering her,

"Miss Diamond, this seems to be false from her husband..."

"Don't say that. She sent this to me by both her and his mutual agreement to have this in my hands and shown to the public. Do you remember what she said after declining your offer,"

"No, I don't,"

Eurus let out a whistle, "Here it comes."

"It's not about money or fame. That is a curse if used poorly. I don't want power either,"

Judy stared at him, waiting to hear something from him, but nothing he sat there staring at her. With a stare she could recognize, he was deeply afraid.

"I know what you have done, Max, and by that, you think you have it all, the government. The money. that controls people under your feet. But you don't have one thing, a soul."

Max is doing nothing but staring at Judy with nothing but disdain. Anger. And fear,

"You remember what you told her next?"

"I'm afraid not,"

"I will make your life a living hell for this Sidney,"

Judy glanced at the note and placed it back down. She looked back at Max, stating,

"You have made this woman's life a living hell for the control of the AI. You set up your agenda against the people, and all you have to say is these lies and excuses? Pathetic."

"You, mister Klaus, will have a long life in prison. Do you know what happened when you lied in front of Congress a week ago? Do you know what happened?"

"I know what happens, senator,"

"Then you know what is about to happen to you? You're going to jail for you have done,"

They went to the Chairwoman,

"That was expected from Judy," Shai muttered

Shai moved away from them,
