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.
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 092: Death
By the time the light returned to Corey's eyes, it was already to late. He gasped and fought to get his brain to work. Corey gazed up at his surroundings, trying to remember where he was. If he was still jext to the Celestia. 'Iriel.' he thought with malice. She had been playing him like a toy. Speaking her truth like one of those know it all's that Corey hated in high school. Only, she acting knew the shit that she was spewing. How long had she watched him. She was different from the woman he had seen before. The one who had created the supernova, yet Corey saw the similarities. The Celestia could shift her form. He confirmed it by being awestruck. Seeing her beauty, and recalling the same laughter from the supernova incident did him no good in last hours. NewAge: YOU WERE REVIVED. IN YOUR LAST SAVE. 'Shit. She killed me?'NewAge: THAT WOULD BE THE GIST OF IT. 'That was faster than I expected.'NewAge: WHAT WILL YOU DO NOW? SHE WILL RETURN ANY MINUTE AS THOUGH NOTHING HAD HAPPE
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 093: Unlocked potential
Corey sat watching different memories, trying to understand what the Celestia wanted him to do. Was he not supposed to enter through this door? She said he hadn't unlocked the true ability. Which would make sense. He knew that already. She knew about his system, but for how long? Had she always known? Or did she come across that information recently?And if so, how could she have known about something she couldn't see? It made no sense to the teen no matter how many times he stirred his brain to think about it. Maybe there was a block that was preventing him from using NewAge to its full potential. Corey searched his memories for clues, nothing came up. Close to losing his mind, spotted another door. This one with chains on it.He stared at it for a long time wondering who thought of such a mess. Soon Corey was approaching the bounded door. Warning signs slapped all over the white wall. Causing a mess.There was a note attached to it. "Sometimes our greate
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game Chapter 094
"She did something." Came his little whisper. What other explanation could there be? The Celestia had been speaking in riddles for so long, he should have known that she would try to pull a fast one on him. He had no evidence but surely, surely she had to have done something to Corey to make him this way. His aura hit Erogo like a bag of bricks."Such power…. Where have I felt this before?" There was something unmistakable about the aura. Something familiar, Erogo tried to recall where he had felt something close to being this strong and intense. He couldn't put his finger on it. Gripping the edge of the pillar he allowed his anger to boil. The Celestia was giving as good as Corey could give. So maybe there was hope of her killing him and he wouldn't have to worry about facing him. And if she failed, then he would have to take matters into his own hands and lock the teen's abilities the way he did hers. Which was quite scary now that he thought about it. She was going toe to toe, a
