They arrived at Armageddon shortly after Iriel's outburst, which was a week later. Very fortunate for her, the women had decided to let her stay. As long as that incident never repeated itself. Misha had to hide her shock at Borba's sense of calmness. She was slightly happy the orc had gotten a taste of death, then maybe it would teach to not easily react so brashly. But Misha wasn't stupid enough to let her happiness carry on. She knew the type of people orcs were. For Borba to have calmed down, that only meant something bad was on its way. And the general didn't even banter with Misha. When Misha would say something snarky, and Borba would hum only.It made her words feel like nothing. The orc had killed her brother. Who was trying to kill her. So she was starting to see Borba's side, which annoyed her. She had always known she wasn't in the right, but Borba was infuriating enough for her to continue hating her. Until now. They couldn't leave the boat despite being below the maje
The storm cleared up the very next day, and the undead Luna floated up into the skies. There Corey contacted the owner of the cabin they had bought for their time there. The old woman was kind enough to direct them to place in the nearby woods with a lake to park the ship. Mikayla used her magic to shield, and reduce the size of the ship so it would fit into the lake. They packed their bags, and followed the old woman to the cabin. This was when Corey revealed a side of him that seemed to freak out about everything. In a good way. He wad asking the old lady about the cabin. The history of Armageddon, she revealed that she owned the library with the books that nobody could read."You do?" Corey question was one of many that he had bothered the old woman with. But she didn't seem to mind. Enjoying the youthful enthusiasm of the teenage boy. "Yes. I own the library." She replied, using her walking cane to knock a branch that stood in her way. "Can you understand the language?""No. N
The library was a large mess. Filled with dust, creepers hiding in little crevices, and other bugs that Corey didn't care for. A spider had crawled up his leg twice and he was still unbothered, simply throwing the creature away and continuing his exploration. It took him a day and a half to clean the entire library. By the time he was done, his excitement had grown twice the normal amount. He selected the first book in his path. A small black book with a one word title. LCorey flipped it open, scanning over the first page. The book was full of ideas on how to successfully fail in life. Corey burst out laughing as he realized the 'L' in the title meant loser."No fucking way. Why would someone write this?" He laughed even harder. The ideas in the book were spot on. Anyone who followed them would secure a chance of never being successful ever. Some of them could permanently ruin an image to the point of no recovery. He slid the book back into its spot and pulled out another one. A mu
Edwards journal kept changing every god-damn day. Eventually Corey had to give up on trying to figure out what was true and what wasn't. The only consistent thing was the man's moronic behavior in all of them. The first chapter changed just as much as the others. Corey's first day of school had arrived and he wasn't close to figuring out the truth of Edward Feldman. Corey had been given his schedule, and found his way to the assembly line. Where the teachers had the students from each class lined out.While they all stood in front to address them. Their speech a had taken a good chunk of Corey's time but he was too excited to feel anything else. His toes wiggled in his shoes, he was trying so hard not to show his excitement. The other students all seemed plain and unmoved about being in the school. Even Yumiko and Pamela weren't so excited. The only person to mirror his kind of feeling was gogo. Who had turned her academy uniform into a pirate themed version. Corey had complimented
Corey's first mission out of his class was supposed to be simple, he was to find and collect six Easters eggs before the week came to an end. With only two days left to actually do this, he packed up and gathered the women who wanted to go. Which was Yumiko, and Borba. Who had finally woken up from her little slumber and was in need of something to do. Just sitting in the cabin sounded so boring and she didn't want to deal with customers at the bathhouse or read at the library. Yumiko wanted to go to avoid her class. They took to the small town to begin their search. The teacher had given them a list of areas where the eggs might be.The first place they searched was the market square. With booths and people rushing to get something, it was difficult to find an egg.They eventually found it in a small girl's picnic basket and had to play a serious game to decide whose method they would use. The game of rock paper scissors, ended with Borba as the winner. She growled at the little gi
A new day, and for once Corey had no questions to ask. That was mostly due to the fact that he was drowning. His eyes checrd around the blue sea. The color so thick he couldn't see anything. Not even his teacher that was supposed to be leading the class on an underwater tour. Corey could sense the woman and his classmates but he had developed a horrible habit o meditating anytime his brain started to overthink.He didn't think it was a bad thing until now, when he had let his body drift to the bottom while he emptied out this mind he was still at a loss for what to do about Edward Feldman's arrival. And meditating helped him find peace.Not the kind of peace Juno had, but the it was enough to keep him distracted. Corey eventually joined the class after his little break, the cold water felt nice against his leather suit. The scuba gear was uncomfortable but he had no choice but to wear it. The premise of the class was to expand the knowledge of the sea.And all Corey had learnt was tha
When Corey returned to the cabin, he had the best idea pop up in his head. He wanted some answers, or at least a direction on where he should be searching. So he went right for the terrible waterfall. Which Corey saw as beautiful. It was called the hidden gem, only those deserving of life and good luck would be able to see it. The waterfall had the ability to call people out of their lies, and Corey wanted to use that as a small phase to his plan.So he'd asked the waterfall a question."Why is Lectus's weapon called a Triton, instead of trident?" The water created a swirl, and bubble appeared. When it popped, the first thing Corey saw was a set of glowing words.The water explained that in Lectus's world, a Trident is another name for a fork. A triton takes the place of a Trident. But that in some occasions, it can be referred to as a Trident. Though the king Lectus would have the person executed for calling his weapon a fork. Corey nodded, that explanation made sense even though it
Too many questions plagued his mind, Corey took his next quest off his teachers, feeling excited to get away from Armageddon. This one would require him to take a trip to Lithua, and he specifically asked Iriel to stay back and guard the temple and cabin. She had said yes almost quickly, and Corey set off with the other girls. The quest seemed simple, but isn't that how it always starts? A simple quest that soon turns into something very unpleasant. And Corey knew to expect something bad. Lithua was the home of dragons, they weren't all friendly and under a mage's control. As they waited by a den for Eleanora to meet them up, Corey let his mind wonder over the last few days. Juno kept visiting, and Corey had yet to see Edward Feldman. Despite the posters saying he was arriving for a talk in the school. His new friend, Lincoln, kept bugging him. Acting like they had known each other forever and were the best of friends. Everything was off. And his locker was dismantled again. Corey k
