"Eliat make pawn of you too."
He looked closely. They were two. He needed to be sure. He didn't know why they reduced. Was that some new level of prank? He couldn't be sure. He needed to affirm. He was done hiding behind the tree. He needed to face whatever time would toss at him. Whether or not he had done anything outta his bound back in Eliat, in the underworld, he didn't care. Twasnt some big things to be puked. He wouldn't be the first and neither would he be the last. He wouldn't make he seem as though he was the worst thing in the context of being. He dumped the thought, else he would be jilted by pain. He did what was considered grievous, but of course he would point tons of leaders and others who had done what was worst than his. He had read about some. He had met some in his guts. While he still plied the route of the abyss, he would make confetti of his curiosity. He was used to it. But that was not the time to make guesses or prune hypotheses. Business needed to be dealt with and he could handle it. Of course he would.
He travelled his eyes again. At that moment, he was sure that only two of them were there. Of course he had no idea what had happened to the remaining. He had fought and fought that his hands almost made isolation of themselves. He knew that he yet had to train his tail. They could help him more. But he wasn't sure if that would be necessary. He wasn't sure if that would be of great consequence. He was only sure of the fact that, after getting rid of the two before him, he would be free from the spells of the underworld. But sooner or later they would track him again, but of course he would be ready for them. He had ever been and would ever be. Fighting the Centuars was not a mill around his neck. They were nothing like the Satyrs. The Satyrs were crazier and ruthless. He knew if they were the ones to be fought, he might give up. He considered closely as they moved towards him,damn! Twas a Satyr and a Centuar. Were they the survivors? Did the remaining return to the underworld. He needed to fiddle with their rage and buy time. Two at a time wouldn't be a cake. He knew that quite alright.
"You two survivors? Wanna be heroes? Won't you return to momma and be breastfed?"
He knew what would happen. He watched them looked into each other's eyes. They should be annoyed. They should be pissed. And that was all he needed. He could play with that feeling. He would make it bulge. He would prune their ire and make it ooze pain. He knew how to play around words. He knew how to feast on what they despise. That was what he had been using against them. But that time, it seemed as though twouldnt work out for him. It seemed as though the trick wouldn't foster a fruit. He hadn't thought twould go that way. He hadn't had a successful thought in a long time. He had just been living. Escaping from one world to the other. Fighting under the water was the worst experience he had ever had. There was an advantage to it actually, but the disadvantages were outta this world. Damn! It could be very murderous. Imagine having to fight a lanky shark alongside groups of Centuars. He even had no idea how he had survived the odds, but probably time had tested him. He was hale, was sane and would keep on track. That was all that mattered.
The two hideous creatures moved towards him. He knew running away wasn't an option. He would even be a crooning coward to do that. He would never ever. He remembered what his father would always say. Die by fight or fight to die. He hadn't understood what those meant. Probably his father meant to say that he should fight till death. But he realized that his semantic stance was defected. That was not what his father meant. He realized what he meant to fight to die. The eager one wishes to die, death runs away from such. Why wouldn't poor death? Everyone would cower before him. Everyone would crumble before him. Everyone would fall before him. Everyone would quake before him. And then a stray being? He wouldn't quake, fall, run before him? How daring such could be? Such wouldn't be daring for naught of course. Hence he would quake for the person and run as far as possible from such. And it had worked for him. The keener he dared death, the farther he did run from him. He would prick that. But the creatures were ready to trade few words.
"Return to Eliat and be saved from the sword of Aikon! Even your mother await your return."
The Satyr picked from where the Centuar dropped.
"You father sent his pleasantries and wished for you to return in a haste. He's dying of meeting you."
Of course he knew what they were doing. He knew what they were capable of doing. He wasn't in for their hooey. He had never been and wouldn't start being. Total claptrap, hogwash, balderdash and he obviously could say it to their face. Of course he did.
"Meatheads. Try again later."
Then the four-legged came charging at him. Centuars did think themselves ruthless, but they truly were the least bits of faker skins. He could say that over and over again. He ducked the blow she tossed and twirled his tail across her body. Twas above her tits he caught. He sank the blades in the tail in the innocent tits and forcefully dragged the tail across the tits free. The Centuar dropped and melted into apt atmosphere. Twas then himself and the Satyr.
He watched the Satyr danced by and hit him in the jaw. How quickly a Satyr could disappear. That was exactly what he feared. He fell on the earth as the Satyr came sitting on him to suck his tongue but he threw his face sideways and did nod him in the throat. The Satyr stood and staggered back with back to him as he leapt on his back and wrang off his neck. He dropped and watched the psycho melt also. He hadn't thought twould be that.
Then he took few steps forward to be sure where he was on that part of the world and whether or not Intruders were still present.
"Oria blah blah..." He looked. The day was just dawning. He was on a tree. At least, the branch of a tree. His eyes met with the rustic rays of the apt azure. He was conscious of what effect they would have on him. A part of him feared or did dread their ferociousness. From his part of the world, where he had came, there wasn't much of the ray there. They could simply savor the aroma. Like a figment of its projection. That was all they were opened to. That was all they could make of its pleasantries. But on the tree, twas quite different. His head was heaving a sigh. A salient sigh. He could maneuver those. He could handle those. He had been handling things greater than those. He felt a pang reaching for the tip of his consciousness. He needed time to figure out what to do. Of course twas not farfetched. Twas something he could easily come by. Shouldn't be a mill around his neck of course. He cons
"Huh?" He drew closer to the spot but couldn't find anything. He firstly thought that his ears had jilted him by feeding him with the wrong spoon of ideas, but he wasn't sure whether or not he was the one jilting the ears. He looked from one end to the other. His hoofy legs which were bound to transformation had sundry sways on the earth. Leaves crunched under the humane leg as though twas a hoof. The claws reaching from the toes were few inches long. He wished they were longer than that. If they were, twould aid him in hunting, and of course that was of great consequence. His eyes were widened as he looked. He wasn't sure what he was seeing. His instinct probably was telling lies to him. If it was, there was pretty nothing he could do about it. He was merely and obviously a pawn. That was all he was. He wasn't more than that. He looked up at the sky again as though he was looking for what he had heard it
. "Uhhh?" Those were the syllabic sanity he could sweep into a whole. He couldn't had done more than that. His eyes widened at what he saw. Many thoughts were fighting a stance. He probably might lose it. He kept his patience drooling as he allowed his instinct to savor whatever it was that taunted time was leasing. He couldn't afford reeling in gaunt guts. He couldn't afford making strays of wits. He couldn't allow pain to pore his rage. He wouldn't allow fear to mock his pride. Why would he. He had no idea what the creature was and what it wanted. How then would he be so dramatic and belatedly dismissive. He was damn sure that many a tales had been told to him about sundry creatures living on the upper land. They did have less of that in his own world. What they did have were monsters. Creatures with awkward shapes and forms. A creature with a thin body complemented by a super big head. Or one with a larg
"Why'd you do that, Moe?" His thoughts were as though they were augured by a prophet. He let his rage sink into the abyss of his consciousness. He wanted to make apt meaning of what was happening at that moment. He couldn't be sure what he had heard or seen. His patience was being pored by curiosity and that should never be a mill around his neck. His wills were whooshing as his veil was unveiled. His marks trailed tracks on the consciousness of his being. He was just as heavy as the weightiest mountain ever grown. His pain would subside but he needed his rage to be soothed. He had no idea what pain he was referring to. He hadn't thought he was in any pain. He wasn't savoring any gaunt gores. Except from the claws of the annoying but comely creature he had met few hours ago. He tried concentrating and making meaning of quite the numbers of ambiguous things before him. He mated with rage and s
"Huh oorh" He had no idea what to do with the Cougar beside him on the tree. But of course he knew what he would do with the one beneath him. He knew that the creature would never make it to the top of the tree. It would only rage and growl to make him cower and surrender. He did know the logic of those creatures. He didn't know that creatures in the figment of the universe were as sensible as that. He needed no hypotheses to test their stance and logic. He did know what they were up to. He did know the language which they understood easily. He knew how to make confetti of the semantic also. DEATH!That's their language. They would seek the death of a stranger or whoever they were accosting you the first time. He didn't know what trained knowledge was that. He had no idea who trained the knowledge. He couldn't be sure. He couldn't fathom. Probably if he did arrive at a crumbling
"Aria ma n kule" He dropped the meal. Even the callous corpse. He was done eating. Hell knew he wasn't satisfied, but he wouldn't keep to such business at what his salient sight had lent him. He wasn't sure whether or not he was rich enough to repay or would be pawned by bruised bankruptcy. He wouldn't be pored by illicit or dimwitted thoughts. There were things he wouldn't savor at the moment. A part of him was grateful to the trunk which had made him stumble. If he hadn't, he probably might had stirred the creature before him and of course, a battle line might had been drawn. He wasn't actually afraid of battle, but he wasn't in for it. He didn't believe in having to fight everything. He believed in dialogue. But if dialogue is crippled, then wanky war would treat. He knew what that meant and the magnanimity of its being. His fate would whisper to him what was expected of him, he would simp
"Ai mele..." He stood. That was the best thing to do. That was actually his third attempt before he could make sanity of how he was supposed to stand. He had tried in the first place and had fell facedown into the water over and over again. Happened that his claws would dig into the moist earth beneath the water which was incapable of holding his weight. But at last, he was able to make meaning of the insanity as he staggered on his feet. He wasn't exhausted, but he felt like he needed a rest. He wasn't used to resting. He was more of the jacky. More of an unrelenting jacky. Though he had no sane idea what that meant. He was simply savoring the atmosphere. Back in the underworld, he could go on working for several darkness-shifts without rustic rest. Exactly why his father treasured him and wouldn't trade him for naught. He would sit him beneath the black dwarf like trees locked up into a boulevard
"Ku ri a..." He wanted to drop it. He couldn't be sure what to arrive at that moment. His instinct did affirm that what he was holding was never a snake. He knew twas never that long and thin creature with a curvy walk style. He knew what its grasp would feel like in his coarse palm. He tried sorting his thoughts. He knew not what to do. Or probably he did know what to do but was simply shilly-shalling. He couldn't put a speck to the dust. His thoughts had been chopped. He tried what he felt reasonable to himself. He dropped what he had grabbed. He couldn't help it. He wanted to run outta the water but he would simply be a coward. And what was there even to run away from. Wasn't he supposed to be on his feet? Wasn't he supposed to fight for his reels? Even if his father had told him to run and run from the impending doom he could never see coming, was it anyway close to being a coward? Well! He tried ascr
A thick forest. "Why don't we all return to the village. Eventually we would all die by the claws of that ugly thing. Believe me." Lude was the first to speak. He was seating all by himself. Hira was seated beside Iva, resting her head on his shoulder. They were all in the cave. Twas quite close to the eventide and in no time, the continuous cawing of the mofo Ravens would start and crazy ominous sounds would take their shifts too. Lude was done with being in that forest. He had made up his mind to leave in no time if the fucking lovers wouldn't use their heads. "That's quite illogical of you to say. Eventually we will all die by the claws of that ugly thing. Aren't you willing to fight?" Iva challenged. Lude scoffed. He didn't know that he could really get along with Iva. He had thought that the fellow was a dickhead bu
"Who unleashed a dog?" The only chief seated with the king said. The noise kept coming till a woman broke into the palace. The guards tried to restrain her in vain. The energy behind the cry seemed to had fueled her veins. She was so energetic. At last, one of the guards was able to hold her down but the king called for her freedom. No sooner the guard let her go than she scrambled to the front of the king and almost threw herself on the king. One of the attendants held unto her again and pulled her to the feet of the throne. "What's this drama, woman?" The King finally asked, but the woman seemed to had swam in the ocean of her tears. There were scars on her face but on the right cheek, there was a gore. "And what's all these all over your face?" The King sa
""I'm scared. I feel restless. Never felt like this in a long time. I don't know what's wrong with me but I'm sure that it's an omen. I'm really scared and I feel like staying up all night. I don't even know which of the feelings to choose. Whether to stay up all night or just go out with our baby." A woman said. She was sitting opposite a man. The room was fairly illuminated. There was a lantern sitting on the top of what was close to a cupboard. He looked at her. He seemed fed up with her complaints and couldn't possibly stand it, "You know that's a crazy thought right? Going into the dark with our only 6 month old baby. Quit that thought please before you get on my nerves." He said, picking a chop of the cooked meat in the bowl. The fat lump seemed too big for his jaws, so he tried as much as possible to crunch it. At least the best way he could.&nbs
"What track next?" One of the twelve men asked. None was the leader. The leader thingy seemed not to be working for any of them. They had been through the noise and the odds and the fight and the all. Twas time to get things the right way if they were ever going to make any progress. "I suggest we keep trailing this. Where else could we possibly take?" Another one asked. He looked at the first guy who had spoken. He wasn't a fan of his but they were obviously not there to figure out there differences. They were there for their leader who had been abducted by the fucking monster. "I'm feeling terribly hot." Another of the guys said. The first guy who had spoken ate the third guy up with a fiery ogle. "Hot indeed." He muttered to him. The third seemed to had heard him and walked up stra
"You can't say that. It's rather too harsh." Iva said to Hira. They were walking through the forest, but sensitive to things coming from behind and ahead of them. His cloth was dirty as well as hers but she tend to make more stench from his than hers though twas the other way around. She just wanted to blame him. She just wanted to make him feel bad. Why wouldn't she? He had made her feel more than bad. Even worse and worst. In the fucking name of love. Though she should admit that he had been protective of her and had been there for her in the wild, but hadn't he gotten them there. For sometimes she had been very hard on herself for ever being so stupid to had followed him. But if she hadn't followed him, she wouldn't had known to what extent he would go to save her. But that
"The account of missing babies are now becoming alarming, your majesty." The chief with bounty beards said. He looked at the other chiefs who were present. He hadn't done that out of his respect for them or whether or not they approved of what he was saying. He had only done that to acknowledge that he knew they were there and probably he was saying what they wouldn't. "It started off with Iuami's baby. The cute little girl. Then to few others. When we were walked upon, none took it seriously but now that it had graduated into the teenagers. I'm sure interest would be revered now." He quit talking and sat. One of the remaining four chiefs stood up and bowed before the king. He looked quickly at the remaining chiefs inquisitively while two of them put their back palms to the other palms in suit. The chief started, "Who are yo
"Motherfucker, let me free." The fellow cried but all he could hear was the echo of his voice. He was weak and could feel the veins remonstrating. His eyes were blacking out and his strength was waning. He was tied to a large tree. He couldn't say since when he had been tied but he was sure that it'd been hours. The Imp had tied him after taking him into the forest and had left him for the wild. He looked around hastily if anything was coming. He was glad that no wild cat had plied that route. Twas hard to tell why. Twas unusual. Probably the Imp had devoured all the wild life. That probably was why there was nothing left. "Motherfucker!!!!" He cried again. Then he had a growl from behind. He was shook. "Who are you?" His voice broke to the quakin
"Li ku a ta mi a gri." The Imp stood at the border of the village. His sticky legs and hands. His mouth dripping blood and his eyes red like embers tamed by fierce furnace. He had the head of a girl in his hand and took another bite. He chewed for a while and hurled the head towards the direction of those who were scrambling and running for their lives. The border was fallen and the women were screaming as each mother tried to lay a hand on her child and take him or her to safety. Few of the men were being alerted that the Imp had broken into the village and had made its self known in public. Men with torches in the broad daylight were beginning to run from the fort of the Monarch towards the Imp. They got to him and were hurling their torches at him but the monster was much more wiser than them.&nbs
"Iboh, what should do to your daughter when she's caught along side the traitor?" "I won't call him a traitor. He sees something we all are not seeing and that he was wise enough to escape the consequences that would still catch up with us, that doesn't rule him out as a fool." The mother of Iva said. She had been summoned. Her husband had been dead since three years ago and she had been responsible for anything that had to with Iva. What a typical mother would do. "Woman! You speak only when I bid you thus." The Monarch roared. She knew her peace and kept quiet as the Monarch turned to face Iboh, the father of Hira. Lude also was present and the leaders of the two search parties who had chased the couple in vain. There were ten people in the palace and it seemed a
