Just like that four days went by. There was no sign of life around me, no monsters nearby. The caves where just quiet. Thought two days ago there was slight tremors which I thought could have been the giant worms moving about a little far away or probably another collapse above.I wonder if the elf is okay. She has been asleep for a long while. Wouldn’t she be hungry for sleeping that long.The caverns seems far reaching. No matter where we went the size barely changed. Instead there were many branches and chambers that seems to go on. If it wasn’t for its natural look one would think it was man-made. I wasn’t using the flame after drying up because there was no need in the first place. The caverns was slightly illuminated by moss which grew on the walls and stuck onto some boulders.I’ll be honest I’m on thin rope because of my hunger. My consideration of eating the elf grows stronger and if I don’t find prey soon, I would definitely eat her. I think I can only hold on for a while lo
… Suddenly my feet stop not wanting to move anymore. The elf between my pit fell with a heavy thud. I have no time to care for her right now. I had ignored the hunger that was gnawing that I missed the reason why I sought to keep myself sated. even at minimum. And now it seems, it is trying to take over once more.How foolish of me. I staggered away finding it difficult to balance myself. To my knees I fell. Half my sight turned dark. It wasn’t that I couldn’t see from it, no, I could, rather exceptionally clear just with a darker hue, it was more like it wasn’t mine to use.Try hard to resist the take over.“Ugh!”I felt the change from my teeth. I’m starting to lose myself——The elf! I force myself to turn to her. I can’t let myself get taken over. I know I said she is an investment but if I do get taken over again who knows what might happen. I push myself to crawl towards her. The smell that came from her, how enticing.If I eat her it’ll settle and I will gain control again. I g
Why is it so? Because their smell is all over the place so much that I can’t tell where I’m heading, tracking. It’s no different wandering in here. And Iya. They seem to be moving in a pattern, in a peculiar direction for a while now. And I can’t dedicate time to finding my way out without running into monsters, if not, probably end up lost, since I have no clue where to look. Will think of what to do after I deal with these scorpions closing in. The stingers on them are the most annoying, having to handle their pincers and then they attack with it. I just have to pay extra attention to them, cut them, deflect or distance myself if I can’t, keep them from so much as scratching the elf or me. It’d kill her, but only slow me down which would make it easier for them getting to her. Don’t let them circle around me. They had been since the begin, so I should instead escape the encirclement and prevent any from closing in from behind. Their bodies are tough. To cut through takes a lo
… After a long climb the reach the top. The sun had set only the orange glow remain, slowly dimming. "We should make camp here." The blond hair companion said. "… No, just the rest is okay, we should move deeper in." Lira rejected. "You can go on, right?" She directed at Allora. "Yes, I've got lots of stamina to spare." "Fine by me…" The blond young man accepted. "I was trying to be a bit considerate since you're girls. Guess there wasn't the need to you two pretty much handle yourself well," His companion said. "as well as many others. Time really have changed. I forgot about that." He muttered to himself. "Then we rest for an hour then move on." … When they finally settled for the day it was long deep into the night. As the dark sky was slowly swept away by the dull blue the party was already up and moving… "Looks like we have company. From behind." The blonde young man suddenly spoke. They all stop and turned. "You…" The blond young man's companion voiced. A few meters
The concrete chips crunched under a pair of boots that trudged.Somewhere on the sands, where where only what seemed to be once walls stood, now lay to the sandy floor as chips and blocks.The person slowly moved through the rubble.At the corner of his eyes he spotted a figure leaning on a slab her head dropped.“To think I’d find someone out here…” He drew closer. “A dead hunter.”They took a knee to her side looking at the wounds on the corpse(?), blood soaked into the sand.“Doesn’t seem to be from a monster… Bandits? No. They would have taken everything on her. It would be a miracle her corpse was left unsullied.Infighting, huh. She looks pretty dead, but, just to be certain…”Reaching their right hand to their back they grabbed a short weird stick and with the left placed it to the corpse’s neck.“… I was right… Just barely alive. Sure is tenacious.” He took his hand of her and the weird stick, looking around.“Was she abandoned and left for dead? But what would they be doing ou
As Nate spoke to the two ‘goddesses’. On the other side.Everything around her felt tranquil. She saw darkness from her eyes being closed, feeling everything around her…The Seer tried opening her eyes but she could no, no matter how many times she tried. Her body itself not responding. Even so, instead of panicking she felt calm…The gentle breeze that caressed her skin and the faint warmth from the high up sun, like it had just risen. The smell the breeze carried, one she hadn’t experienced before. There was no tension which was brought by the world. She felt at ease. She felt like in a dream state.While basking in the feeling she finally felt the warmth which came from behind her, over her shoulders and resting on her belly, and the softness which seem to calm the world itself.Her eyes, now in her control opened to a bright world, like a dreamscape. The sun was high above. It heat that should have come from it was warm instead of the usual harsh. Fluffy white cloud splashed and dr
“How long do you plan on slumbering? Wake!”Feeling the full weight of the childish voice the eyes of the faceless black figure jolted opened. In his immediate sight blackness.Taking his hand out to the opposite side turning himself he lifted his back off the floor and was on all four.Slowly he stood himself up.When he looked up at who was before him; Angled to one side. Leg crossed over the other. One arm flat on the armrest, the other’s elbow to it and a fist side of his jaw, it was none other than the white haired, blackened sclera and reddish pupil, kid sitting on his seat looking down on him.Just looking at him the dark figure felt a weight bear on him, and with a word:"Kneel"He was forced down to his knees, his previous posture unable to move. He was unfamiliar with who this kid was but he knew very well what could emit should power. A chaos kid. A God to their kind."To think a mere demon who just rose up through the ranks would compare himself a Chaos King…”“Who… are… y
The heavens.You know, the place where all good souls end up. Elysium; Atziluth.It’s a place ever so beautiful, a place that surpasses human imagination. There it stood, in all its glory, the Pearl Gates. Nothing is par to its elegances and size. Firmly in place between two walls which stretch on, out of sight on both sides. The walls stood about a quarter above the size of the gates, bejeweled with carvings of unearthly proportions. Just above where the gates curve to meet, below the wall had a gigantic sculpture which was of the heads of the heavenly beasts with rows of wings.The colossal structure shook the ground as it opened. A bright blinding light slipped through the gap growing bigger and brighter as it opened.Behind the walls, was a city decorated by intricate architectural designs of buildings with streets of gold cleverly woven between the clusters of buildings. The rooftops reflected the bright blue of daylight as a new day began for the ‘Heavenites’.A sight to beho
