Iriel woke up in a daze, she glanced around her surrounding area to make sense of where she was and why her head hurt worse than ever. The clanging of two knives hit her ears, and she flinched. What the fuck? She mumbled, rubbing her eyes to clear a little bit of the blur. Her head hurt worse than anything she'd felt in the past days. "Oh good, you're awake." Corey's voice brings the hurdle of her memories back and grumbles.Attempt to get up, only to realize that she was tied by the waist to something thick. With the blur slowly, but almost gone, so she could see Corey. He was staring at her, leaning against the wall on the other side of this strange room. The paint color was a gross green, and tiles looked too clean to be real."Corey, what the fuck? Why am I tied up?""Because you tried to kill me. Because you're annoying me. Because you think that I should give a rat's ass about your freedom when you most likely will end up double crossing me." He had his arms folded and in sp

Juno expected many things when he went in search of Iriel, none of them could match up to this. Iriel struggled against the leash while Corey was busy discussing something Juno couldn't hear with a strange looking woman. Something about her aura was very familiar to him but he chucked it up to being his imagination. His eyes traded between Iriel, and Corey. Corey had his back to the trees where Juno hid, and Iriel was stuck by the railings of the cabin. What had conspired between them? Juno wanted to know. But that wouldn't be possible unless he got Corey away from the house. Corey felt Juno the second the man appeared, he was almost expecting the teacher to come for Iriel. Which set a bit of a plan in motion. Sure, he worked well with game theory but no one could ever accuse him of not being smart enough to trick them. He'd done it thousands of times. Basing his whole plan on another person's moves. Iriel described it as a limitation to what Corey could do, but he had his doubts.

Tougher, that was the promise Corey held the lock keeper by. But firstly, he had to locate luke. The god had gone almost AWOL, and there was no sign of him coming back for revenge or anything like that. But Luke was one tricky, deceitful god out of many and Corey was smarter. When the little Devil returned with information of where Luke had hurried off too, Corey was ecstatic. The devil had smiled while showing Corey the exact location. He could have used NewAge for an easier tracking but he had no regrets. The devil did his job right.NewAge: WHAT IS LUKE DOING IN THE PYRAMIDS OF CYRUS?'Beats me. But it's the perfect excuse to get away from this island. I'll take all the girls, and we'll hunt Luke down.'NewAge: WHAT SHOULD I DO?'Scan the key Erogo gave to me, tell me if you find anything. We need to figure out how to rewire it. It's not like Misha, I can't tamper with its motherboard.'NewAge: SOUNDS EXHAUSTING BUT OKAY, I'LL DO IT.Baffled, Corey rubbed his hands over his face.

The tomb moved slow, far too slow for Corey. The tomb must have been ancient. Too much dust, and dead bugs have accumulated over the past years. With the temptation, and blistering curiosity to just march over there and throw the door the rest of the way so they could come face to face with the mejai, hanging over Corey and Mikayla's heads, they ended up sighing."Should we just go since it can't get out quickly?""No!" Mikayla shouted quickly. Causing the cave to make a little rumble as her voice echoed back to her. "I mean, no, why would we miss the opportunity to see a real life mejai? Come on, where's your adventurous spirit? Where's the gut wrenching urge to see and explore the unknown."Corey was the only one nodding his head to her words. The other women gave her looks ranging from disbelief, to blatant annoyance. Mikayla shrugged, in her mind she called them prudes. Where's their adventurous spirit? She thought nonchalantly."Well, the rules were not to disturb the mejai, do…

This is stupid, that was Corey first thought once he woke up from his horrid one hour nap. His choice hadn't been easy, but he decided to just take the rickety bridge. For the sake experiments. The woki was not pleased. Hearing the creaks from wherever it was. But there was nothing to fear because the first step it took broke and the woki fell down into the abyss. You would think that meant everything was going to go greatly from there, but it only got worse when Corey discovered there were more of that beast. They had to tiptoe all the way to another stream, and relieve their legs. The woki that had been following them stood by the door. Looking at them even though it couldn't see. But it could hear the stream. The sounds of their breathing. He closed his eyes for a nap on the hard floor, and woke up to the Woki only a foot away. Corey could just kill the beast, and that was what he intended to do. He was not a simpleton anymore. And as much as he loved adventure, he didn't want th
