The return to Armageddon brought Corey no relief than when he had originally left. The only difference being the fun he was having with Laverna around. He found her funny, and enlightening. She was smart, and equally as curious like Corey. He reminded himself that she was taken at the age of eighteen. Her life was still young, and full of many things to explore. He wasn't entirely surprised at how well they connected. As friends. Even though she was his aunt. She hadn't aged much on the inside. "Iriel could recognize though?" She said as Mikayla parked the ship over the lake. "Nope, no one here is well adversed with video games."Laverna laughed hard, her stomach tightened. "Fuck off, you made me a VC? Which one?""You ever played 'dawn of Ritchfork; Rise of the walking Dead'?""Is that like a new remake of Ritchfork Dead, one to six?"His eyes widen to a cartoonish extent. "Yes. That's the made video game, though it's old so they remade everything.""Whoa! That used to be my favo
Blaming Juno wasn't ideal but that wasn't the point. If he hadn't given her those orders, she wouldn't have thought it was a good idea to burn down the library. But mostly, she was pissed at Corey and blaming him for her troubles. He was the one. The one they had written prophecies and stories about. And Iriel wanted blood. She would do the ritual herself if she didn't need Liu Zing's seal to complete it. She caught up to Coreyz he was going up a hill to where the old lady lived. "Corey!" Iriel shouted. He hummed, not turning once to look at him. Her tentacle lashed out without thinking and Corey grabbed it. The spark of electricity that hit him felt like a pinch to his skin. A major difference from the first time he had felt those shocks. The deaths had all been painful but Corey was still proud of his victory over her. Without her knowledge, and while she struggled to remove her tentacle from his hand, Corey removed his mark on her.So if she died, she was just going to be dead.
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
"You're joking." Iriel's voice pulled Corey from what his was doing. Yumiko sat between his legs as he brushed her fur. She barged in complaining that it got tangle somehow and that she was too lazy to brush it herself. She should have said sleepy, considering how fast she drifted off when Corey started. But her eyes would peak open whenever he stopped. Iriel was still in a state of shock, not from electrocution, but bafflement at the leash attached to the collar on her neck. Corey had kept to his words, and was prepared to treat her like a dog. It didn't help that he had dragged her into the cabin like this will all the other women were wide awake. Gogo had laughed hard, that he head whipped back into the nearby wall. It didn't stop her from multi tasking by wincing, and laughing at the same time. Then there was Borba who had a field day at Iriel's expense, also enjoying a bit of laughter. Every one found her situation funny, all except Yumiko. And that was because she didn't get
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.
"Are you offering me freedom?""Yes! I'm offering you the chance to have power, and to live. To be your own person again. To get out of this world."I had to blink my eyes several times to make sure that I wasn't stuck in some kind of dream. Erogo was really here. I urged my body to heal, and got to my feet. Then I analyzed him, his look. He was in his full form. Why? The locks that covered his body made him look like he was his own prisoner. It's freaking cool. We'll get back to this nonsense about giving me my freedom when he already killed me. And attempted to kill me again with some lame sword. What the fuck was Luke supposed to do?NewAge: WHAT THE LUKE THINK HE COULD ACHIEVE?I reached for one of the chains, and watched it glow in my hands. The kick keeper, was dripped out. From head to toe. I'm impressed. Not a standard bad guy outfit, but I respect it. "What are you doing?""This shit is cool." I tugged on one of the chains and he flexed, the chain glowed bright enough to b
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.
Corey wrote a letter to the school asking them for some time off to complete a personal quest, he'd never met the person in charge of the academy but they wrote back to him giving him two months to do whatever he needed to do before the exams and physical competitions would begin. Aboard the undead Luna, he made light conversations with everyone until they arrived at their destination. The pyramids, were even more beautiful in person. To make this a beneficial quest, Corey created his own scroll and handed it to the other women in private. Making sure Iriel never knew about it. And also that Yumiko didn't know what it was about. There was a chance she would tell the goddess without knowing she wasn't supposed to do that.Her durability was admirable, and Corey seemed to be the only one who didn't get frustrated by her lesser knowledge. Sometimes that was a good thing.He reminded her to write to her father that she wouldn't be able to contact him for a month or two. The scrolls con
