"Well she doesn't waste any time.""Who?" Luke asked, drawing Corey to the light that he had said those words out loud. "No one. Luke, tell me, what will you do if I do free you? There's no way for you to get back to your home."Without hesitation, the sword answered. Perhaps he thought that Corey had a change of heart on the matter of freeing him. "I don't need to return to anywhere. I'll be honest, Corey, you and I are alike. I see how much power you have, but you're trying not to use it against others. And while I do respect that-"NewAge: DOES HE KNOW YOU'RE VERY MUCH GOING TO USE IT AGAINST EROGO FOR WHAT HE DID?'Doesn't have a single clue.'"- I think you need to take a little bit more from the world. Set people in line. Build a Kingdom, not a paradise."While to some that might have been enticing, Corey would argue his paradise was his Kingdom. You'd have to think like him. All he'd ever wanted to escape too, was a place where he couldn't be harmed. A place where he wouldn't
Corey hadn't returned back to Laverna's book. She was laying out some hard truths that he needed to wrap his head around. Practically, from what he had gathered, the odds were stacked up against him. As always. Corey slid down the tree once nightfall came, the heat hadn't reduced one bit and if Corey wasn't an obsessive about completing challenges, he would have walked back to the castle and laid a curse on a every dragon. The cat had left at some point, possible bored by Corey's lack of interest in him. On the ground, Corey searched for a place he could camp. He wasn't just done with Laverna. Now he knew that he had to find her. If Iriel was really shoved this deep into his life then doesn't that mean he's led himself straight into the arms of his enemies?The thought annoyed the hell out of him. Corey grumbled, and nursed his torso with his fingers. NewAge: I THINK LAVERNA IS DEAD.'What?'NewAge: THINK ABOUT IT, COREY. SHE SAID SHE READ EDWARD'S JOURNAL, AND THAT SHE HAD ALL THE
The next morning, the sun rose to cause more heat for Corey. He went in search of the salvation dragon. There was more turmoil in his head than he had before he came on this quest. Now Corey was aware of his enemies. You would think this made things easier for him, but it didn't. It only made things harder for him to understand. To plan his next course of action. Could he win when his ability, although very broken, was still partly a mystery to him?Why was there a limit to a limitless ability? He needed answers, which meant he had to turn back to Laverna. Corey didn't drink, neither did he eat anything, he had completely forgotten other things aside for what he needed to do. NewAge: DID LAVERNA WRITE ABOUT THE PROPHECY? 'I think so but I haven't gotten that far into it.'NewAge: THERE'S ALSO THE FACT THAT HER JOURNAL STARTS FROM HER THIRD LIFE. SHE'S DIED TWICE BUT THE JOURNAL STARTS AFTER THE SECOND.'Right. Check for Laverna, I'm pretty sure she must have changed her name but I'
Finding the salvation dragon was easy once Corey heard the dragon's growl. It was daring anyone who had the guts to cross its area. The queen and king were full of shit because there was no way in hell the dragon would move her nest and there was no need for her to move anywhere else. Standing on the edge do a steep cliff, Corey could only see the clouds. He had walked for so long while following the map that when he arrived at the top he almost walked off. He couldn't see anything for miles, nothing but clouds. There was a gap between where he stood and the other side where he could see the salvation dragon flying in a circle. She didn't look pleased at all, and Corey didn't want to bother her. Or tame her for that matter. The space between them was where the clouds laid. Confusing him about how high he was. He thought about teleporting over to that side but that sounded like too much. Especially for him to just see the egg and get his achievement. Though now that he was suspiciou
Corey spent another day in the dragon's den just perched on a tree, and contemplating what to do. He had to get Laverna's head before he returned to Armageddon, but he wouldn't put it past the order of seven to have her head guarded. He didn't open her journal, he simply sat on the tree allowing his mind to wonder around.While laying on his back, staring up at the tall leaves protecting his eyes from the sun, Corey closed his eyes. Attempting to take a nap, even though he knew he was as exposed as a sitting duck. And if someone wanted to strike him they could. They could but they wouldn't succeed. His ears were on alert and so was NewAge. The system had drawn the map to the head. As it turned ou, after sacrificing a Feldman and the ritual doesn't work, they simply bury them and forget about them. There were no booby traps or anything dangerous from what NewAge found.Which wasn't surprising when Corey really thought about it. Why would they care about the dead Feldmans if they weren
Boarding the undead damsel, Corey told the women that they would be visiting a graveyard to collect something. He was surprised when they asked him no questions. Mostly distracted by Eleanora's new tattoo and story behind it. He thanked his luck for that.Well, everyone was distracted. Excluding Mikayla. And Corey had to give her credit for always being in his business. She hinted for him to join her on the top deck since she had no idea where this graveyard was. "You're going to get some type of artifact?"He wanted to say yes, but they would see him talk to the head so the point of lying was defeated. "No, I'm going to grave rob. I need the head of someone I knew.""But why? Why now?"Corey shrugged his ample shoulders. "I just remembered." A lazy truth but it seemed like it was enough for Mikayla."Why is you ship called the undead, damsel by the way?"She laughed, and turned the wheel just a bit. "You're asking this now?"Corey laughed with her. He didn't know where the question
"Corey." The second Pamela called his name Corey turned into someone sprayed with laughing gas. He clutched his stomach and bristled, he could already tell what was going through her mind the moment she saw Laverna. He could almost her voice complaining that he has brought in another woman. But this time Corey felt a gag in his throat. This was his aunt. Changing her form didn't dispell that fact.Laverna stared at the array of women, she had never met her nephew before today and now she had to wonder what he had been up too. From the orc whose height seemed way too tall, a sentinel, she couldn't even figure out what Yumiko was. Gogo looked somewhat demonic but also human. Mikayla was certainly not human, Verosika was a demon- no one could miss that, and Laverna also didn't know what she was. She looked half dead but she didn't feel any different. Her nephew would need to explain a lot to her."Corey," Pamela repeated his name. Amongst the entire group, Laverna noticed that the red
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
