The line grows thin
He stood in silence, watching the unmoving body. He thought to himself, "didn't I just hear a sneeze?", then he knelt before the man, peering at him. Suddenly, the man's body jerked, causing David to jump back. "Holy shit you're alive." "Who's alive? I never died. " Gandu's voice crackled through the Comms. David fixed his eyes on the old, feebly man, his gaze unable to tear away. "Like I said earlier, Eldahor is gone. Surprisingly, there is a survivor and he's alive." David responded. "Oh, check up on him and ask questions." The former stated the obvious. "What happened?" He asked the man, helping him sit straight against the wall. From what he saw, the man had been trapped by the debris probably amidst escape or when the temple fully collapsed. One thing was certain, death was on the door, seeking his soul. He heard him voice something, some words but he could not understand those. "Come again?" He questioned. The man spoke again, this time David realised he was speaking a
Mortal Imperfection
The lab went quiet as Gandu left for the basement, returning moments later with a map in his grip. He placed it on the centre of the table, all eyes pinned on what he presented. "See. This is deep into the continent. Known by the inner indigenes there." He spoke, pointing at the highlighted spot on the map.…"Eldahor.""I think I've heard of that place once. My parents once left for a pilgrimage when I was younger but I had no idea about the place, only the name." Meena spoke. "Good." He nodded, then faced David. "We need to get Solomon's mat or carpet or whatever the fuck they call it. We get it, dissect or tear it into bits and pieces then merge those parts with the gears I've been working on." He stated. David nodded, he understood his mission. The rest wondered why he faced David alone and not them, then he dropped his reason. "David you'll have to go alone. We don't know how much longer the Void will take to attack us again or his dark army (if he still has more). So to save t
Good news?
Gandu walked into his residence, tired and weak. It had been a long day, one that ended with sorrow. Sorrow he never wished for in the first place. He did not care much for the deceased, but he was his customer and as a trader, the mutual respect sought his obligation to mourn the dead. Despite the fact that the town was still empty because of the evacuation from earlier, he never bothered stay at the lab after helping to treat Dana. There was a lot of work expecting him and work wasn't what he needed. It was sleep. As he crashed on the bed, burying his face into the soft cushioning, he groaned, his ears picking up a familiar presence."Go away." He groaned, his face still buried in the clothing. "I need your help." David spoke. Gandu, obviously annoyed, rose and faced the man, giving him a look of displeasure. "What do you want this time?" He asked. "I need you to help me study the dark fairies that are currently maimed. I have them captured inside the lab. I believe we can cure
When Push comes to shove, Just remember…
Eden sat alone in the dimly lit room, his massive frame hunched over, shoulders trembling. The silence around him was suffocating, broken only by the shallow rhythm of his breath. His eyes, reddened and hollow, stared at the floor as if trying to summon his brother’s shadow back from the void. Every memory ate at his chest, his brother’s laughter, the promises they made, the last look before the end. He gripped his Bedsheet, his hands shaking, heart breaking. No roar could express the ache within.He glanced at the wall, on it was his brother's old quiver, mounted on it like a trophy. Since the tragedy, he only withdrew to himself, acknowledging only himself and his grief. He blamed every one, including himself, wishing he had made different decisions, even way back since they were kids. "Maybe he would still be alive." He thought, ending that stream of memories and wishes, but the reality still faced him…his brother was dead and he was here. All he could do was to honour his memo
Finally Broken
David stood on top of the building he resided in Ladus, staring deep into the night's sky. His mind was still dazed by the events of the past day. Him losing two lifelines between minutes, the realisation of his cosmic alter ego hunting him across every realm and the fact that he had just lost a dear friend made him numb. He stood in silence, thoughts flowing through him like a turbulent river. The solitude he relished dominated him, giving him a sense of calm to complement his sorrow.His system interface popped up, indicating he had leveled up to level 38. He frowned, yelling, "So this was what you meant by stopping the void? The one time you give me a quest that doesn't explicitly tell me to kill, you instead ensure my friend is killed. Fucking tell me, what's the point of this system?" He asked. The interface remained stagnant, no replies typing forth like it would. He squeezed his fists, anger quickly building in him. "So this is it. You wanted to break me, just as you have ev
I Am The One Beyond All.
David sighted the desert before Ladus, depressing himself gradually till his feet touched the sand. He ran quickly to his friends, who all shared gloom looks with Audrey too. His face squeezed, wondering if something bad had happened. He did not utter a word, but he proceeded, observing the silence they embodied. He counted mentally, relief gradually washing over him until he realised it."Where is Eder?" He asked lowly. They did not hear his question. Well, he only spoke to himself, struggling to believe what had just popped up in his head. He looked devastated, each step of his now slow. Finally Audrey noticed him, shouting "David." He stopped behind them, watching as they mourned the empty sand. He fell on his knees, a tear dropping from an eye. The immense sorrow filling his heart was turbulent, breaking every emotional barrier he had on his grief. He wanted to cry. He had just lost a friend. But he didn't—he knew that he had to be strong for them.He rose, watching the sand
