Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game Chapter 084:
"Corey, what the fuck is that?!" Pamela asked, drawing herself closer to him and Greta."Um, those are-" he was about to say python when the snakes hissed. Arm shots out of their sides, and their height increased. Corey watched them go from lareg pythons to towering nagas. Half snake creatures with a working subconscious. They can speak, and grab onto people with their arms. Corey watched as their torsos formed, their chest revealing them all to be male from the waist up. "Nagas?" Mikayla's voice was frightful. Noticing this, Borba gave them a thorough look. "They're just snake people. What's there to be afraid of?"Mikayla grabbed the orc by her head and pulled her down to her face level. She stared into Borba's shocked brown eyes with fear. "They are highly poisonous. Maybe not to orcs, but a friend of mine got bitten by one and she ended up losing her magic and needing to be amputated.""How- what- how does that make sense? She lost her magic so they cut off her limbs? I wouldn't
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 085: Come on
Not prepared to fight her was an understatement. Corey wasn't even close. He had a powerful sword but her skills were clearly better than his. Although he stuck to NewAge's advice to not move out of the straight line, Corey's curiosity skittered as he continued to stare at the sparkling object. He wondered, what could it be? If he were to throw caution to the wind, he would go and search for it. Instead Corey tried to think of things that could distract him from that object. The rain was instant on making Corey suffer, so he couldn't focus on that. With its gloomy dark clouds, and the prickle do cold water almost heavy with the rage of the storm. He sought to think about his quest. When would they be able to finish it. To get all seventy fruits, meet Iriel, and move on to something new. Something that could be less risky for his life. Though had to thank Lectus in a way. If it wasn't for his death of a quest, Corey wouldn't have explored the places he'd been too. He'd uncovered so
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 086: Trauma
Their clash made the storm heavier. Corey's arms were starting to get tired as he fought the knight. She swung, each movement more fluid than the last. Her body twisting and turning with the blade. Luke created a helmet to protect Corey's head and neck from the the knights swift hits. Her anger was increasing, Corey could feel it. But he was sticking to the lie that he didn't have what she wanted in his possession. And he would continue to stick to that even if it killed him. Mikayla didn't understand her husband's reasoning. He could hand over the pendant, but….The knight would still kill him. Hmm, she was starting to see there was only one way out for Corey. He had to defeat the knight. The storm had gotten to bad for her to see, and her skin was getting cold and wrinkly. "Okay, I'm going back into the tent. Borba, you can watch. Anyone who doesn't want to die from the cold, follow me."Borba's scowl didn't go down, she got to her feet. Having had enough of watching. Using her
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 087: Madness
"Does anyone know a therapist??""This is not the time for that. Mikayla, go into his mind now."Mikayla struggled to breathe. They were asking the impossible of her. It was easy to do magic like that and get lost. Not find your way back. She could be trapped in Corey's mind forever. She didn't even understand why Corey was this way. He had suddenly shut off while laying on Borba. He blinked once, and then darkness covered his eyes. Pamela noticed it first. They freaked out, and have been trying to shake him awake since.Mikayla rubbed her hands together, the women were urging her to go into Corey's mind and get his attention. She placed both of her hands to the side of his head and begun to murmur a spell. "Keep an eye on my body. Even I twitch even once, slap me and I'll wake up." She warned as quickly as she could before she passed out.Corey was awake through all of this. He guessed that he would soon be seeing or hearing Mikayla. His eyes fluttered shut, he was too afraid to p
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 088: Bombshell
Corey's worrisome behavior continued as he gave Mikayla directions to the Iriel's home. In the realm of the Celestia. Of course none of the women were ecstatic to see that. They'd heard nothing but great things about the woman who crawled from the Merry depths of the ocean and slaughtered many. As their journey continued, with Corey's distant behavior freaking only two people out, the woman whose realm they were about to cross into stepped out of her darkened room. The unconscious knight laid at her massive feet. The armor was awake but the knight on the inside was knocked out. And her face was still visible. Feeling a bit annoyed at the disappointing warrior, she snapped her fingers. Waking the woman up. "My queen?""Ah, the failure awakens. Sounds to say since I'm the one who woke you up."The knight quickly pressed her to the ground, folding her entire body together. "I am sorry, my queen. That orc took me by surprise.""Borba? Hmm, yes. I suppose you're no match for brutish w

"Corey, are you sure?" Pamela asked, skeptical as Corey pulled her shirt over her shoulders. "Yes, I'm sure." He replied. She could swear on her soul that something had either snapped inside of Corey, or he had always been like this and she was now just seeing it. Corey's fingers touched her skin, little bits of hear sparked.The scene before her was intimate, she allowed him to undress her down to her garments. She watched him through the mirror placed on the wall. As the boat rocked on the sea. Mikayla had dropped it from the sky moments ago, before Pamela nerved herself up to go and speak to any of the women about Corey's change. She could still trust Eleanora but she was starting to see her place. After all, she had rejected Corey. She wanted to take that back. He was still nice to her. In her moment, sniffling and feeling inferior, she thought about why he would tell them that many would die. Then a little voice, as if taking Corey's side, reminded her of how nice he was to s
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 090: The Celestia
"Okay, test it out." Corey told Pamela. They stood at the top deck, Mikayla had traded places with Corey so she could take a break. He's only job was to hold the wheel for a couple of hours and make little turns while she took a nap. It was the third day. They were steadily getting close to the Celestia's realm. There they would give the fruits to Iriel, complete the quest and plan for their next step. Pamela breathed in, glancing at the silver bracelet around her hand. "What happens if it does something worse and kills me instead?"Corey shrugged but she couldn't see it. Pamela stood in front of him, her neck twisting to search his face for a response. "If anything goes wrong, you'll appear in paradise.""Then how do I return here?""I have no idea but at least you wouldn't be dead."Pamela chewed at her bottom lip, fidgeting her fingers around. "You need to work on your comforting words. They have the opposite effect."Corey's chest rumbled as he laughed. "I'll try my best next t
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 091: She knows too much
They continued to walk, following the little giggle that was floating around. The group ended up in a hallway, surrounded by knights. Each wearing a similar crest to the one that had attack Corey. The further they walked, the more evolved each armor looked. They weren't moving. No sighs of breathing or anything to indicate life. These knight must be stronger than the one he fought. They were certainly trapped. If the Celestia brought any of the knights to live, they would be outnumbered. The whole hallway was lined up with knights. There was a single door at the end. It opened just like the front door. Without them touching it. Everything, again, was for a giant. The hallway was massive. Corey was stunned they even got to the door in time. The anticipation was killing him. And he could finally see the woman they'd been on a death quest to meet. Sitting on a throne of bone, was Iriel. Corey froze, her palish skin. Strange eyes, and moving tentacles that made for hair on her head.
