It's been a rough week guys. Not gonna lie, thought I'd die yesterday, Got home invaded but luckily got out without a scratch! Will Update as usual! For now enjoy this chapter!
It was Biblical.The skies were littered with scores of Burning white light and An Evil purplish hue.The two opposing forces danced around, punishing their nemesis for claiming authority in their various spaces.Fire and Brimstone, Ashes and dust, crazed laughter overwhelmed her senses.There were cries of iron and steel, Pools of red and black, and debris of ruined buildings surrounding Cecelia.She quickly regretted her decision of braving the outside, she turned to face the Spectres.... alas her guards had already departed, they joined their brethren in the night sky.Cecelia swore she could hear their sinister cackle as they raced to the heavens above, she sighed as her best chance of protection sailed away from her.She squinted her one good eye and looked around, There was fire slowly rising, all the buildings around her were on fire, Screams of desperate citizens trying to find safety.Ash and smoke clouded her vision, fleeing Pedestrians knocked off her feet, fruitlessly sear
Castor was Aghast.Hovering over the scarlet clad forest, he witnessed Woodland creatures and Monsters alike fleeing from the ambers of the fiery deathtrap that surrounded them.Most did not make it, the falling trees crushed some and the fires took others, Their shrieks of pain were almost human like, A small knot etched over Cas's Chest.Yet that wasn't what frightened him, Right above his ship were a horde of Fallen, Bigger, Stronger and Meaner looking.Some had three or five heads, Others multiple arms which sported spears, swords, axes and shields.And the biggest one Had both, it snarled as it directed it's comrades to hunt down all life they came across, The white cloth devils baptized the forest with Fire.Some Chucked them from their hands, Others shot them from their eyes, Castor grit his teeth as the Creatures maniacal laughter echoed through the Fiery hell scape."Fire!" He roared as Veil splitter rained Apple bombs upon his foes, Some Tore the Fallen to pieces, Others rid
Cece nursed her cheek as Cassandra lead them away from the stupefied crowd. The Elf Librarian, Josephine's little sister, took her by the hand before she could utter a word, She didn't have a chance to resist, still in shock from the Stiff slap. 'Shit! I think she dug some nails in,' she noticed the blood trickling from her cheek, '2 worlds and Josephine is still shit when jt comes Family,' Cece sighed, She despised her mother more than anything in the world, Unlike Eve and Fil, She felt nothing when she pushed her down those stairs, 'It was one of the best days of my life....' A smile crept up her lips, 'Cas must never know that though....' She reminded herself, The world be damned but her little must never know, she swore to herself. After what felt like ages walking through the rows of books, Cassandra came to an abrupt stop in front of a large stone statue in the middle of the building. It was a cloaked figure holding an Hour glass in it's Right hand and a book tucked under i
Through the dark moonless sky....Through the pale glow of Dorian's Fallen....Through the Smoke and ashes of the ancient Forest....The Lady in black danced in the air!She moved her hands in a fluid pattern, like water running through stone.She swept her feet around like she was making a circle, a triangle and a star!She muttered a couple of words, too far and too silent for Cas to hear....An eerie chill washed over the battlefield, all the sound in the world went silent for just one moment....The Fallen, The Spectres, Centaur, Trenton and his Leviathans, all for just a moment stared at the lady in black, all for just a moment looked upon her with awe, almost admiration in their eyes.....And then one by one, the fallen's head warped, twisted and imploded in of themselves.There was no time to scream, to run, to react.....In the next moment, the lifeless husk Castor's foes plopped to the ground, they barely made a sound as hit the floor.Cas focused Veil Splitter's attention
With every step Cece took, the sound of wet meat plopping to floor, accompanied by the baleful screams of the DakenDale's faithful echoed through the Library's halls. Cece slowed down her pace, 'what am I doing? rushing to my death?' She came to a complete stop, and looked behind her. "Maybe I should.... just leave? I don't know or owe this folks anything, right?" She turned around and walked back where she came from.... then she whirled around again. "Cassandra though.... she seemed nice, And I'd definitely feel like shit abandoning her, but I'm not strong enough on my own.... I'll die for sure!" 'Probably, That would be a sight to see!' She whirled around and strung her bow, "Ella? Is that you?" After what felt like a moment.... nothing, no answer Cece sighed and relaxed her shoulders, "Well if she does show herself I'll-" 'Kill me? There are no stairs here, open room too! I don't Fancy your chances!' Cece turned around and saw..... nothing! "Come out! Show yourself!" 'O
Once the initial glow dissipated and the path became more visible, The pitiful scene became clear to all within the ship. A Sea of Pale white light faded from their view one by one, most falling into the darkness below before forever losing their glow. Trenton whistled and the Centaurs neighed in indignation. Josephine however was silent. One thought went through Castor's mind as he saw this scene unfold. 'That was rather pointless, wasn't it?' he sighed. He looked in the direction from which the sphere came, a bloody, pulsating, mess of flesh and bone hovered between two Leviathans. The unfortunate creature had been crushed over and over by the flying Monstrosities, Perhaps in a last ditch effort, along with it's now dead brethren, they had tried destroying Veil Splitter In spite. "The good that did," Castor fired a couple of apple bombs through the creature, He filled it with so many holes, it became a horrid Sculpture of blood red swiss cheese. It plummeted to the ground soo
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
