Malaki lay on his back, the force of his final blow on the Tentacled horror, extinguishing the last drop of adrenaline pulsing through his body, his flaming sword ceased it's glow. His people had fought well, he had fought well...... Despite the invader's technological advantages with their abhorrent creatures, versus his people’s old spell craft weapons they had won, they had repelled their invaders. As his bloodlust subsided, the reality of his situation began to set in. He glanced to either side of himself, blood-pooling around him, he would surely not survive. And yet, despite the dire situation he was in, he couldn’t help but smile to himself, Eae had always said he’d get himself killed sparring with his friends, or while fooling around on a hunt. He was glad he would die honourable, fighting for his people, fighting for her. He looked down at his wounds, those beasts… no, those things, had been relentless with their wild spinning clawed limbs. He counted no less than 50 gashes
"Not bad Rookie! At this rate we'll be done by sundown, Maybe I can finally pay Maria a visit, men I miss her..." The Satyr-Cyclops Hybrid Barnabas said, His one eye glinted with Gold as he stared up at the Flying Fireball His apprentice had cast, He smiled with Glee as it struck down the enemy Ship that peppered the sky."But... if I were to Criticize, You're too flashy Kid!" The Hybrid shook his head.Gregor grunted in protest, 'I'm not a kid! I'm at least Twice your age!' alas, All he could do was grunt his frustrations, He hadn't quite mastered the talent of phonetics, He often resorted to random noises and gestures to get his feelings across his partner...... fruitless for the hybrid rarely listened."You're supposed to use a little more.... finesse when dealing with these Bozos! Observe!" He held out his hand and squeezed it until it encircled something, He looked up at the sky, towards a lone ship sailing right at them.He took a deep breath, entered a throwing stance and swung
'The beast was laughing, It jaws were clenched shut, It's face as still as water but it's eyes... the beast was laughing and Fauzer's party could do naught but run.It screamed, It's voice was like a thousand and one daggers stabbing violently into a rose tinted glass.It stomped, the impact enough to cause seismic shift, It stomped and stomped and stomped until the ground completely shattered below it, Fauzer and Milli made a mad scramble for the other side of the room-'Lucy screamed, desperately trying to claw at the edge of the room, Cas gave up half way, realizing it would be futile, he instead focused on trying to find a safe spot to land, The Storm Breaker's minions clambered upon the beast and the 4 of them made way, running along the walls to safety-'- Fauzer signaled Milli at the last minute, The Shinarian native bit her lips and nodded, she fished for her dagger and stabbed it in between a soft spot in the wall, Fauzer nodded, He looked down and found-'-A bed of snow, Fr
The world was in stasis....A frozen, static void.... Cece stepped outta the Med bay and found herself in darkness, complete and absolute darkness, "Jeez...." she muttered under her breath, taking deep breaths and a swallow, she moved onward.She could feel something beneath her, not the ordinary floors of the facility no.... this was wet, mush.... like a fleshy blob, worse it was moving, almost breathing, Cece cursed under her breath, "I should've brought my bow with me maybe I'd be able to see better.... on second thought, do I really wanna see where I'm going?" She sighed.Cece itched at her eye, "Ella? You still here?" She cried.'Right beside you doll...' the Demoness cooed, Cece turned left to meet her gaze but could barely see her Blood red eyes in this darkness, They were narrowed, but not from anger or irritation, Mirth? Joy? Exhalation? "What..... is this place?" Cece asked.'This my Doll..... is your Centre!'Cece raised a brow, "My Centre?"The glowing eyes closed for a m
"What do you got there?" Castor asked, he peeked over Lucy's shoulder, "I think anything of value is probably long gone..."The mousey girl shook her head, "I k-k-know! but it won't hurt to still check! it's the Legacy.... they have to have some toys with them!" she licked her lips.'You know you look creepy when you do that?' he groaned but held his tongue.The mousey girl dug through the remains of the Stormbreaker's thralls, the vile things were littered all over the place, She searched their wrists for communicators or jewelry, their necks for translator collars , their feet for quick boots.... She came up with jack squat! "There's nothing here Lucy.... let's figure out a way outta this place, we fell pretty far down after all, wait how didn't break something on your way down here!? not that I'm disappointed but Jesus! that's almost a 20 foot drop!" he snapped.Lucy giggled, "Our friend over there took most of the impact," she pointed at the abhorrent abomination that had become
He swatted the Succubus away with ease as he barreled over to Cecelia, she for her part shoved one of Gastard's guards in her path, the two collided giving Cece enough time to scramble away.Cece glanced over and saw Ella trapped beneath a bunch of Book shelves, she cursed under her breath.Her past self, as well as the other images present looked on in astonishment, "Can I borrow this for a moment sweetie?~" Cece snatched her bow from her past self as she blew her a kiss, "Wha-" her past self was saying until the world around them began to shake.'Cecelia! give it back to her!' Ella screamed."I need a weapon!" She retorted as started firing arrows at the Fallen rising to it's feet.'Fool! don't alter the memories too much! You do that, you cut parts of yourself away!' Ella hissed as she pushed some shelves off her.Cece ignored the succubus and continued firing her arrows at the approaching Fallen, the creature braved through the onslaught of arrows, swinging it's mace about in unho
"Most of this stuff..." Cas trailed off, he flipped some switches while speaking over the radio, ".....is dead as a door nail, The lights don't work, the fan don't work, I mean it's expected given how old this stuff is but I'm still a bit disappointed." Cas finished."....Understood, Send your coordinates to Me ASAP, I'll come to you with a small team, perhaps we could relay this to Lady Eureka, Congrats Rookie, You might get promoted!" The booming voice of Vince the orc said over the radio."We.... we might get promoted!" Lucy piped up, Cas rolled his eyes, "Sure, we might get promoted," He sighed."Ye-Yeah! maybe we'll even get you access to those Fairies too!" She pointed at his stump.Cas frowned, "Yeah....." Lucy fidgeted, "S-Sorry, I forget sometimes...." She hung her head.Cas sighed and continued on with his inspection, He looked over the room and his eyes fell on the Massive Coffin like object again, "What do you think is inside?" he turned to Lucy."Ah.... a body?" She shrug
Ella cackled!The Demoness laughed so hard her face turned red, then she stopped and continued laughing again, then stopped then laughed again, She did this for over a minute until Cece snapped at her, "Shut up!" 'What Dooooolllll? We're finished no matter what you say, I for one would like to spend my time here as Cheerful as possible!'"If you're not gonna help then shut the hell up! Your laugh is flipping pissing me off!" Cece hissed, The Demoness continued laughing though.'The Smiling Man, The Haunted Prince and The Lord of the Broken Sea made their way to Dalusere, One died on the way over, Another was claimed by his former victims.... the last made it over but was greeted only by ashes.... He cried and cursed and fell into a despair, He remained that way for days.... for weeks.... for years.... Why didn't he go home I wonder? what kept him in the ruins of Dalusere? A city he only knew through the tales of travelers?' The Guardian had asked Cece.She bit her lips and looked dow
