A bit of a short one today guys, Hope you enjoy regardless
Splat! The Fallen's head burst into a million pieces as the Spectre swung a mace upon it's head. The creature plopped to the floor with a splat, Cassandra shrieked back, Half relieved, Half annoyed, The chunks of flesh from the creature clung to some nearby books. They were surrounded by Spectres, 13 of them to be exact, The soldiers.... those who could still put up a fight were positioned to guard the Civilians in the basements. Many protested, However Cece quickly shot that down, 'If any of you are capable of slaying one Fallen by your lonesome.... step forward!' They responded with silence. Begrudgingly, They marched towards their assigned duty.... save for one, He was sent by Cassandra to inform Gastard of Cece's arrival.... Much to her dismay. 'Was she being considerate..... or does she suspect my deception,' She shot the elf a wary look, 'Either way.... maybe He'll make my job easier by coming here,' She sighed, Pouring over some magical books she found on a nearby shelf,
The tensions slowly defused with each word she spoke, It was almost like the people present were entranced by her voice.The Bog people were more complacent, the Beckendales were less agitated, The witch of DackenDale had everyone wrapped round her fingers.'She's good...' Castor thought as he watched Josephine handle the negotiations from the comfort of Veil Splitter.He beamed her down per her request, Kovet had insisted on joining her however, 'You remember how strong their disdain for Centaurs are?' Josephine shot, The Gangster looked down glumly and took a step back."I wonder how a little ol thing like her.... has this much power?" Trenton commented, "She's gotta be way older than she looks!""Nonsense! I've seen Lady Josephine as a teenager!" Kovet protested."She could've been keeping up appearances?"Kovet made a pained look,"You too Castor?""I'd be lying if I said her demeanor wasn't.... off,""Off?" Kovet cocked her head.Trenton nodded, "I doubt you're articulate enough t
The jagged glass dagger felt cool on Cece's throat, Cassandra's eyes felt even cooler, There was no mirth behind them, No rage either, just pure ambience that matched the regal nature of the Library."Who are you really? Depending on your next words.... I'll have to kill you?" Cassandra said in a monotone voice, A bead of sweat ran down Cece's head, She gave the elf a wary smile."At least let me put down the kid first,"Cassandra narrowed her eyes, "Put him on the chair over there!"Cece took a step back, She noticed Cassandra's gaze didn't leave her, not once, It followed her, "I'm not gonna hurt either of you, I can't after all, the wards around the city won't let that happen after all!" She tried appeasing her as she set Alex down on the chair.Cassandra frowned, "You're definitely not my sister," She shook her head, "The Hearth wards that protect the citizens of DackenDale from Shady travellers was smashed to bits thanks to the Fallen, My sister would know that, Everyone in this
There was a Lazer circus in the sky...... Bright white fire, Blinding divine light, explosions so great they'd shake the very mountains and death.... so much death.Veil Splitter had evaded most of the onslaught, the many faced Treant listened to it's master's instructions closely, Ever so quick to dodge, destroy or drain the fiery light from it's pursuers.And they were plenty, The regular fallen, the serpents and now even some of the Cuboids were separating themselves from the larger collective, Giving chase to The Crystal Treant, Firing a wicked yellow light at it.Instincts told Cas to dodge, 'There's something not quite right with that one!' He thought while maneuvering outta the way, To confirm his caution, The Leviathan it grazed disappeared, not disintegrated or disembodied, no it straight up disappeared!Cas feared it was some sort teleportation beam, where it took them to, Cas didn't want to find out, He wracked his mind, Looking for a solution outta their predicament.He ha
He paced back and forth within the studio apartment, every so often, The man in the gray suit would put his fingers in a rectangular like pattern and view his environment through that fictional lense.He continued over, Taking note of how spotless the apartment was, 'Did they do a clean up afterwards? No! If staying discrete was the plan, Billy's body wouldn't be left here...'The man finally crouched over and inspected the body in front of him, Young male, naked as the day he was born, he was in he his early 30s, Maybe 34 at most, He had long blonde hair tied into a ponytail, A pair of ghastly green eyes and his skin was as pale as milk.The man frowned, "Imp!" He cried, pinching his nose, he signaled for a pair of googles, The short, stout blue skinned man walked over and threw the gloves at the man's face."You...." The man sighed, "What's your problem?""Why did you take this case?" the imp growled, he put his gnarled hands into his thick black coat and spat on the tiled floor, B
Within the darkest parts of E-666 lay a gothic castle shaped like laughing skull, A smoldering bastard of Magic and Science, A wonder of the darkest minds and home to the nastiest Criminals in all the multiverse.It houses 6897 guests, In a cold grey hall, in a section of the facility, a bored Gargoyle guard hung from his favourite ledge, Leisurely surveying his Assigned prisoners.Pit pat.Pit Pat.Pit Pat.Gregor's ears perked up at the rhythmic sound coming from the cell at the end of the hall.The Gargoyle lurched over, watching intently from it's position, he thought whether to alert his brethren, or his master or investigate by himself.'If something is going on.... I need to act now!' The stone creature thought, with a deep gutteral growl, he stretched his wings, his body slowly transformed from it's hard stoney composition to something lighter, slicker.His limbs were still Oversized, Overstocked weapons, His back hunched over and his Claws, Horns and squashed demonic face pre
She gently kissed her brother's head as he laid still on top their bed.She surrounded him with mint herb and made a mixture of Cinnamon and Honey, To aid with his condition, One of the few good things that woman had thought her growing up.She fidgeted and sighed, she alternated between checking his temperature, squeezing his hand and adjusting his blanket, anything to keep Her baby brother comfortable.She hated seeing him like this, So helpless and weak, It reminded her of how vulnerable he was truly, 'what were you thinking Cas!?' She wanted to scream at him, to punch him, to slap him, She wanted to cry, to break down, to crumble under it all....She hadn't slept a wink in almost 2 days, Half after seeing her brother in such a deplorable state and Half because of Renga's gift, She absently stroked the little red book, what would she see in her dreams if she did? Would she see that woman again?"He'll be fine, stop torturing yourself Cecelia," A voice said, Cece cringed, She had to
"I wonder what she's dreaming about?" Josie said.Cas stroked his sister's head, beads of sweat rolled off her forehead, "How long has she been out? How.... long have I been out?""Barely 4 hours for her, Almost 3 days for you...."'3 days? Cece gonna be pissed!' He thought, he wasn't ready to face whatever backlash was waiting for him when she inevitably wakes up.Cece groaned, her face contorted into a mixture of fear, anger, excitement and disgust, Cas stroked her head again to calm her."Did she.... have this when you met her?" He ran his finger through her eye patch."She did...."Cas sighed, "What happened after I passed out.... please, I need to know,"Josie squeezed his hand, "Well.... firstly, Landing your ship was the order of the day, I didn't have the same bond with it as you so piloting the vessel was outta the question, Thankfully I didn't need to, It took us back to the Bog people's village, They helped me in healing you.... honestly you gave me quite the scare!" She p
