Calming jazz music played over the speakers as Finn sat there in silence, he looked around, trying his best to discern whether this was part of the story or whether it was an illusion created by another demon."You okay, Finn?" Ted asked as he wiped a glass. "Anything on your mind?""This... this is Saint Christopher's bar right? The one down in Manhattan?" Finn spoke slowly."Yeah, there's no other branches dummy." Ted smirked as he dropped a glass. "What you having a stroke or something?"Finn fell onto the chair, if this wasn't an illusion or dream. That meant... "The other world was..." His entire life back on Greatsdane was a mere dream. He laughed.He cackled, holding his ribs as he laughed. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he burst into rabid laughter, all the emotions he had felt had been a dream, all the people he had met had been a dream. But was that okay?"Whats so funny?" Ted asked as he took Finn's glass, refilling it. "Don't tell me your already clobbered from one drink?
Just like the rest of the group from the cave, Darwin had witnessed the story of AE and EA and even though now he had a better understanding of the world and the objective of the demons, he wouldn't still forgive them regardless.The scenery shifted from that of a forest to that of downtown New York, Darwin looked around as sounds he had long forgotten began booming into his ears.Cars speeding down the freeway, cars horning at other cars, pedestrians screaming at drivers, people talking, the steps of their feet reverberating as the walked through in masses. "Am I—" Darwin looked to his sides before glancing toward a building in his front, it was an acting gig he had once tried getting earlier in his life. This being well before he met Finn and the rest."Frudor and the Gates of Heaven, why am I back here of all places?" Darwin made way for the building, memories of what happened here prior seeping into his head.Earlier, An excited fresh out of college Darwin walked into this same bui
After seeing the story of AE and EA alongside the others the scenery Paige stood within slowly began shifting, suddenly she was back at Austin University, where she had schooled. "AU? Why here?" Paige looked around as she walked through the school gates.No one seemed to be able to notice her even when she put her hands in front of their faces, it was almost as if. She didn't exist, she walked forward until she began to recall certain events.The smell of the air, the overflowing fountain, the signature tie worn by her English teacher. If this wasn't real and rather a mere recollection, it means. "Sam..."Paige walked up the stairs as she slowly headed toward her dorm room, memories of the when she was a freshman getting pushed into her head with full force. She tried getting them out, she didn't want to recall them. But like a disk that had been pushed into a Dvd, it played.It was the first day on campus and Freshman, Paige Sultry had just come from a class orientation at the school'
Jared was weird, this was how he was born. This was simply the way he was. When kids had fun playing with toys, he killed bugs in gruesome ways.He was smarter than most but after high school he stopped trying, he didn't want to be popular and neither did he want to become bullied by classmates who would seem him as an assignment answering machine.Jared watched as the scenery changed, he didn't quite understand what was happening or why exactly he was here but he understood the previous vision was about AE and EA, but what was this one about?He looked to his sides as the scenery finished its change, it was his old university. Austin, where he had graduated from a few years ago, "Why here?" Jared walked through the gates and all of a sudden he noticed someone sitting on a bench writing."Tch." Jared sighed because the boy on the bench was a younger him, he had been forced to do the assignments of Jack, one of the bullies from college. Even though he had tried to hide his smarts, he ac
After the seeing the start of the world, the scenery began changing to that of Emilia's old house in Oregon, she had lived there till she was ten years old, after that she was moved to New York with her foster parents.Within this unconventional sanctuary, a multitude of statues stood sentinel. They represented an astonishing diversity of deities, ranging from the serene visage of Buddha to the resplendent figures of the Indian pantheon. Amongst them, one could also find statues paying homage to deities like Krishna, each carved with exquisite craftsmanship.Outside the temple was a large courtyard that had contained dozens of wooden dummies that the monks that resident within the temple had used for training.Day in and day out, their unrelenting shouts could be heard as they struck the dummies with all their might.Finn's eyes opened and he was currently slashing at a dummy, striking it down and moving to the next. He had no idea of where exactly he was but slowly the memories came
Harlow held his chest as he walked through the streets of Halestadine, he had successfully convinced everyone that he was dead and now he could live a peaceful life.He didn't want to fight demons, regardless of his system. He didn't want any of those things, he wanted to rest while staring at the sun. So he planned his death, and here he was. A free man.He walked and ran until he got to Falusha, he walked the streets and not one soul turned toward him. He had finally gained a new life and there was nothing that could top what he felt on that moment.Ever since he came to this world, he had been stricken with depression. The system he was given, 'Godlike' gave him insurmountable strength, however at the cost of knowing where his friends were and feeling their pain.His system was essentially a commander system, allowing him to guide his troops which in this case would be the other members from the cave into battle successfully. However, everything changed when Jamie died, then Gilbert
Finn watched as Emilia woke up with Airi running toward her to check if she was okay, “What the, how long was I out for?” Emilia asked as she held her head.“Ten minutes, give or take.” Airi responded.“As much as i want to relish you guys reunion, I have somewhere to be. Now, Emilia. Where is Farrow? Harlow is trapped there and we need to save him before whatever it is kills him.” Finn stated, urgency noticeable in his voice.“Farrow?” Emilia struggled to stand up with Airi’s help, “It’s west of here. Why? Its just sand.”“Harlow’s there.” Finn began threading the sand and Airi and Emilia followed behind him.“What did Harlow tell you? And did you see the same shit i did?” Emilia questioned.“He’s being trapped and tortured by the demons, but he thinks someone’s going to kill him soon. We need to prevent that.” Finn contemplated using boost, but he needed Emilia as a guide and he couldn’t just leave Airi. “And yes, i saw the same thing you did. Not exactly the same but it was alike.”
The small western like doors of the bar were opened and they walked in. They looked around as they did and they sat down on the opposite side of the bar where they could see its entirety."What do you want, Sir?" The waiter walked up to them, holding a check-board in her hand."We're fine on the food, all we have are some questions." The man on of the two spoke. "Come closer." The waiter, stopped for a while before putting her head closer to the mans face. "Do you want to die with these people?" He asked and she stepped back."Darwin, you're gonna scare her to death." His companion hit his knee. "Sorry darling, we just mean. Do you want to go down with the dumb fucks in here?!""And here you are making it worse, Paige." Darwin slammed his head as he sighed. "So whats your answer waitress-lady? You gonna out the demon you guys are hiding in the back or are we going to have to tear through the building ourselves."He knows about the demon kill them!" One of the men got up, within his ar
