Pearl: "Soteira, you hold his left arm, make it sure that you grip it very tightly. We will now start the tattooing Mr. Kim Tang."
Kim nodded his head, "This will sting a little but if you want you can drink the Brewmeister Snake Venom that is allotted to your friend. It will be your anesthesia while I''m performing the ritual" Pearl told him and gave him a sweet smile but for Soteira it is an evil smile. "Don''t worry Kim Tang, the pain you will feel today will be the strength you will feel and have tomorrow" Pearl told him as she sanitizes his left arm with the use of ethyl alcohol and cotton. ??
Natasha and Natalie gulp a mouthful of saliva as they watch Pearl sat in front of Kim and begun to give him a tattoo in a traditional way. "Sis I think you and Pearl are just the same when it comes to tortures, you are like a sadist" Natalie whispered to Natasha''s ears.
"What design do you think is good to him Soteira?" Pearl asks her friend who is now holding the left arm of Kim. "You choose among a dream catcher or an infinity sign that are the two things that you love the most Angel Pearl" Soteira answered her.
"What about giving me a tattoo with the word LOVE but in Chinese Character? Then on top of that word is the infinity sign, don''t worry I can endure the pain" Kim informed Pearl and Soteira. Pearl stared at him and Kim stared back to her and smiled, "I want to show you that I can endure all the tortures you will give to me if that''s the only thing I can show you that I am interested in you and I want to woo you so that you can be my wife" Kim confess to Pearl in front of Soteira. "Hey, Mister! You have to court first our Angel Pearl before you can be her boyfriend and later become her husband. This torture is different from the torture that we the five right-hand guys will give to you if you pass this one" Soteira declared.
The ladies inside the torture room laugh as soon as they heard the words of Soteira, "Our men are very protective of the women of HADES. Angel Pearl is very much protected by her brothers especially Eros, the five right-hand guys which are considered as Pearl''s brothers; they will give you another set of tortures especially if you want to win Pearl''s heart" Dimitri''s voice was heard and it sounded very cold.
Kim nodded his head, "Luna I am sorry, I am sorry for all the things that I have done to you. I know that we can''t bring back the past or we have a time machine to reset whatever we want to change in our past and even though I played a small part in hurting you....still and I am hoping that you can forgive me. Maybe not now but in the future..... I hope you can forgive me in the future" Kim said as he gazes to wear Luna is sitting.
Then suddenly Kim shouted as Pearl begun the tattooing him, In Pearl''s mind she already formulated a design. The infinity sign and between the lines she will put the Chinese Character words of "Eternal and Love." Soteira who is holding Kim''s left arm is already used on how brutal Pearl was when it comes to tattooing, it''s just that this is the first time he saw her traditionally doing this. "NO PAIN.....NO GAIN" Kim mumbles as he endures the sting that the poke has given to him, he felt numb as he keeps on chanting those words like a mantra.
Louie was just watching his friend who is now experiencing painful torture, it is more painful than what Ethan has just experienced a while ago. He can see how Kim furrow his brows every time Pearl poke the stick on his skin.
"Does Pearl still gave the tattoo made by the famous artist from the Philippines?" Samantha asks Xavier as she watches how precise Pearl''s artwork on Kim''s arm. Xavier smiled at her "Yes My Dear Sweetheart, after she got that Phoenix design she immediately asks Soteira to put another set of ink to it so that it will not be removed immediately" Xavier answered the question of his finance. "But where is the tattoo located, Sweetie? I didn''t even see it when Pearl wears the gown last night" Samantha asks again, Xavier shrug his shoulders as they both watch Pearl poking the stick on Kim''s left arm.
Soteira could see at Kim''s face that he was enduring the sting of the stick, he knew that it is more painful than the Dragonhawk 102YMX Mast Pen Rotary Tattoo Machine that he was using and used when Pearl asks him to make her Phoenix a more visible, her tattoo was located at her right waist down to her right b.u.t.t cheek and she hides it with the use of concealer and some foundation when she wears the gown last night.
"Sometimes we need to be hurt to grow. We must lose to gain, sometimes some lessons are learned best through the pain" Soteira gave Kim some words of encouragement as he can see that at any moment he will faint. Pearl chuckled as she heard the words of her friend, "Soteira, they say no pain no gain. But if there is gain, how can there be pain? Some people have only pained because instead of the others gained. The root cause of pain is jealousy, the moot point of gain is selfish. But there are examples of real pain when you are betrayed by your loved one" Pearl said as she pokes the stick on Kim''s arm. Kim stared at her as he heard her words, it seems that he was trying to read her mind. "If you are hurt and betrayed by someone before, I''ll make it sure that I am different from him or them. I will protect you the way I know and I want to grow old with you" Kim suddenly blurted out. Pearl stopped immediately when she heard his words and Soteira stared at Kim, "Are you willing to face all my flaws? Are you willing to accept me even though I am not pure and innocent anymore? Are you ready to face my five brothers if they will give you another set of tortures? Pearl asks him. "Yes... I will accept everything and anything that your family will give to me. I don''t care about your past. What is important for us is the future....our future Pearl.
Pearl sigh and shook her head, and continued her artwork at Kim''s left arm. "You don''t know what you are saying Kim, you are just blinded of my appearance but once you knew my past....you will also leave me hanging in the air" she informed him.
