Transcendence. Torments of Nate Deon Chapter 2 INTO THE SEA, LAMOA - Part 5 (r18)
“Days of walking, I forgot how long I had been on the sands. Eventually, I wandered into the camp of a party of hunters.” On guard, waiting as the staggering steps got closer, they saw the outline of a small figure. It drew closer. The figure dazedly entered the area of the glow of the camp fire only to trip and fall face down from hitting small chunk of concrete buried in the ground. “A child?” The party’s leader was the first to voice out. The five year old looked scrawny and was in rags. They relaxed a bit. “What’s a child doing all the way out here?” “Even so we can’t let our guards down. For all we know she could be bait for an ambush. Noha!” Giving the party lead a look, Noha returned his knives to their scabbards and slowly walked off. Geb placed his axe back on the ground still tightly holding on to it. Reid sheathed his sword. Lauralyn as well. The party lead on the other hand returned to his seat, stabbing the sword into the ground waiting on Noha. Reid still standi

“Honestly, I was scared of what might have happen at first. Would it be the same as before…? Maybe a part of me had already given up and didn’t care what happened to me anymore. I felt like I had been stripped of my own will. But even if it wasn’t so, where else would I have gone to. It was my first time in the outside world, but considering the blurred large expanse I saw when walking I knew there was nowhere to run.” She said, staring intently to the knife in her hands—obviously hiding those ‘irrelevant’ occurrence. The flames danced before Lauralyn, the glow accentuating her beauty as she solemnly spoke. Allora still resting her head on Lira’s shoulder also had a solemn look. She couldn’t help it. Instead of knowing more (little, as a general knowledge since she didn’t say anything much upon her arrival at the ruin) about her friend the little she had heard made she couldn’t help but wonder: what happened to her before that? When the morning came Lauralyn squatted in front of a y

The sun rose and they had already set off, straddling onward. The winds blurred caring grains of sand in the air, fluttering their wears. Lauralyn, Reid, Warwick and Reid had their cape on with the exception of Noha who had the hood that was an extension of his armor. Lira on the other hand walked under the bare heat. There wasn’t much they could do on that ground. The spare left belonged to Noha and there was a certainty he would not be happy giving to her. That said even if he did it would be a drag for her. “Monsters… There isn’t much to explain about them. They are vile creatures which roam… We don’t know where they come from but all we know, they are and it’s our job to kill them.” “I suppose you’re wondering where we are headed… it’s been so long since we’ve been home. We are done with what we were assigned to so that’s where we are headed.” “You shouldn’t tell the child that. We still can’t trust her.” Warwick at the forefront looked behind to Lauralyn. The look in his eyes

A couple days later… High up at peak the sun shone brightly. In the distance the floor shone a silver color, rippling like the ocean from centuries before, a mirage. The day before, the sun had baked the desert floor with an intense heat draining out the water which was soaked into the sand. “So do you remember where you came from?” Glancing her way she got no reply from Lira who shook her head—obviously hiding it. “I don’t know exactly where you came from, the situation around your upbringing, as you might have seen, the world out here isn’t favorable. We, all races, may not have been able to survive this long, but if the little rain and land that could bear. But it’s just a matter of time before we are plunged into extinction but before that they will all fight for the little that is left. And—” “Stragglers in bound. Ready yourselves.” Warwick, from the front suddenly took to a stance halting everyone. Not far away a trio of monsters drew in. On reflex everybody readied the

When the morning came so did the lessons begin. Reid took to a knee and Lauralyn sat cross-legged on a small cloth she laid before Lira. “Listen and let it be your foundation. The blade is an extension of you being. Inanimate it may be but with a soul of its own. The way of the blade is resonating with the soul with its sheen letting you thoughts through its reach. This not only goes for the blade but any and every other weapon. The souls of these weapons can be fiery and wild or calm and cold. Either way the approach to taming and mastering those souls is the duty of its user. I will be teaching you how to handle the blade. Along with that; Know this little one: any and everything can be used as a weapon and one must take advantage of the situation and the present element at your disposal. So alongside learning the blade you will know the basics of how to handle any other weapon.” Lectured Reid. “And I building on your survival skills and instincts. I think I’d throw in a few basic

When she returned to the camp she found Lira crouched to a block sitting beside a sleeping Geb, quiet as usual, though she looked a bit shaken up. “What happened? She came in looking rather panicked.” Reid came closer and Warwick a few steps away and well with earshot. “You guessed right…” “Did you?” “No. I didn’t. He’s ‘calming’ himself.” She said holding back a laugh. “The kid didn’t need my help. She had everything under control and broke free, delivering a good kick to his wood. Bet he didn’t see that coming. Bastard froze before realizing what happened. Funny as hell.” She laughed a little “She would be terrifying in the future that is…” The change wasn’t subtle as her voice went soft, clearly implying on their current circumstance. “That good… but I doubt that would stop him.” “I did give him a warning…” “Would that be enough to stop him?” “I have my doubts.” Warwick commented. “Should he try that again I plan on doing what I said.” Lauralyn replied resolutely. That ver

Everything feels dark. Not the normal dark I’ve always felt anytime I tried closing my eyes. It’s almost comforting, almost like back in the ruins were I had been out for three days. An empty blankness, somehow. It’s not like the feeling I had when my body was taken over. My mind just woke up from the sleep… at least I can call it that, since I couldn’t feel the world around me. Like haze I start to feel the world around me. It’s slowly becoming clear. My body seems to be shaking, like someone is trying to wake me. Oh yeah, that’s right, Iya—wait Iya, I don’t know what happened. Is she alright!? Before I could have a grip on my mind my upper body shoots upright. I catch Iya taken aback, but not startled, like she was expectant. The calmness on her face almost like mine. The mystery about her, about these actions of mine… I don’t know. My own safety is not my concern, but not once or twice could I stop myself from moving for hers. It’s just mind-boggling. And somewhere within me I

Not too long ago the last of the orange glow from the setting sun dissipated shrouding the canyon in darkness. The stars were out and moon hung high up in the cold night sky. It’s silvery glow highlighting the rocky terrain and illuminating all that loitered its calm surface. As much as I like the fact of filling my belly I hate it when I have monsters for sustenance. The work done just to eat is time consuming. I’d like to devour them from where they fell but that would be messy(?). It feels idealistic to think this but I’d like to retain that part of my ‘humanity’ if I can—that is if sitting with a freshly hunted monster’s flesh in my hand eating it raw and relishing in that nectar-like scent of blood count as anything human—instead of acting like the monster I am. Grabbing the tail of one of the monsters that had every part of it intact I drag it behind me heading for the cliffside. Thud! I give a tug dropping the corpse. Grabbing one of it’s hind legs I grab my blade severing th

… Above watching the ongoing battle. The mage with the mercantile smile stood in his deep brown Sith robe. The ground was little with corpses and dismembered corpses. Blood stained sands that had soaked and drained the life of those that fell. The two sides, one side the majority of therianthropes and the other humans, clash letting loose their savagery on each other. It was a gruesome sight where swords clash, severing and disemboweling of the clashing races alike. An observer would question the necessity of the savagery. In a would were there was on the expanse of desert, who knew whether there would be another settlement other than that of the two sides. So why did they not cooperative to increase their chances of survival in this cruel new world? The answer is basic: Superiority of species.

“Are you okay.” I look to where her voice came. Chika had somehow gotten herself out of the binding around her arm. When I glanced it seemed like it was cut. And in her hand was a very small knife, I’m sure she tucked it somewhere they wouldn’t find. She was checking on the two, cutting their bindings. I took a step to move closer. “Ugh…” I thought it would take a while to kick in. I finally got to relax seeing everything was fine, but immediately I did. I felt pain grip my entire body. My grip turned slippery from the blood that was slipping from the gunshot wound on my shoulder, and from the one that wasn’t mine. If that was all then I could deal with it, it would probably healed after a while. Aside from the nicks and cuts. I got careless back there. True, with this new found strength and reflexes you could do much, but when your are under fire it’s easy to be blindsided that was it. And that was what happ

“… I’m here to collect my friends. And I wouldn’t hesitate to cut anyone down anyone who stands in my way!” I say as I straightened my poster, walking. “Intruder at the entrance. Men down.” … “Don’t let him in. Do whatever it takes to put him down.” I could hear the distressed voices of the men in this place. They were scrambling to get here. And those that were already close by were let lose bullets. From long before I’ve known them to be rather conservative of their ammunition, after all, the amount would be so little. But it still rained. I weaved through the debris, walls, and any cover as they closed in with cover fire. Those that chose close combat with their machetes and knives were cut down by the scythe. I closed in one by one on their gunners taking them out and moving away before I got pinned. Why? Why? Why? Why do I feel like this? Despite the rage in me, hypocritical, it may be, why

“I’d appreciate it if you could get on with it.”“… Absolutely. Brest is his name.”Why do I get the feeling the sound of his name is exactly how he looks?“Who is he? What is his role in all this?”“The same for anyone in his position. A seat. Somewhere to belong, to hold authority.”“… I don’t get it. He’s already made his way into the top brass of that opposition faction, I assume, so why the need for more power.”Not just anyone could make it into the elites, in this case faction heads. He has to have something they need and is of the same mindset.“… Show me a person who has no greed and I will show you a world without without suffering…”Greed? In this situation do I seem to have that?… I guess. Despite having Amara, a unique to existence, I still wanted for Chika. Is that greed or lust. And then the fact, though not my own, I preferred her to be the one in control. Dose that also count.“… What do you think a desperate man would do, if you were in his situation?” He as

When the sun got over the horizon, I got out of Chika’s place. Using the Scythe as support I dragged my aching body towards the settlement. Damn it! My whole body hurts like hell. Despite it only being sunrise the settlement is bustling. The hunt must have already been gathered and people where already up to collect their ration for the day. Technically there should be enough to ration them for months if the meat is cured, but with the time it took to cure and the amount of people that came in occasionally the daily hunts were mostly shared daily until the ones in stores was cured. I’m somewhat a familiar figure around here. Draped in a cloak, much better from the very first tarp I used, though it was old. They knew of the relation I had with Chika and the fact I was one of those who hunted most people stayed cleared of me. Then there’s the rumor about the scythe. Something about the weapon being cursed and me being a dangerous and cruel character, That really hurt my feeling, you

I pulled her in closer.I didn’t have any top on so she could only wrap her arms around my neck leaving me to undo her buttons. Her lips never left mine as I worked to free her trapped bust. She was just right. I’m not one to like ‘em big or small, but in the middle, maybe a tad big than that average, just like how she was.I cupped a breast feeling it’s soft, sinking goodness in my hand. Breaking off I traced her neck, kissing all the way the cherry which sat perfectly on her mound taking it into my mouth, sucking on it.“Ah…” Her moans were soft, afraid to let it out. Her hand found my buckle as I undid her with a hand, slowly sinking into the mood.Gently lean her backward until her back touched the bed.On my knees I pulled off her pants and underwear, feasting on

[A/N: Believe the is longest i've written. Not edited so please bear with me.] In this few months I’ve active here. I got to see, well hear, about the fights that have been going on. With the exception of a few other races, their opponents were indeed the Theriantropes and a few other monster looking humanoids. Can’t really call them monsters if they can communicate, can we?. Here’s me, a guy who is avid about fantasy setting and the like and its inhabitants, seeing them do this breaks my heart. It goes as far to see the Demi-human, you know those animal/monster ears, tail and other parts, but looking no different, if not slightly, from humans being affect. Oh my dear Waifus. I was more active later in the night and hardly witnessed any. I mostly rested during the day, if not going to Chika’s or the old/young which listening to their reports, and gossips. From the reports they harassment was mainly guerrilla. Even still with that they were still at a stalemate, both side unable ov

They had secured a reservoir and other containers around the place, rationing it along with the daily hunts. It’s not much considering this sweltering heat which calls for constant rehydration, but there’s nothing you can do than survive with the little you got. —Well there’s the option of plundering from others, as long as you don’t get caught or deal with an witness. And that is something that seems to happen around here.How do they deal with the refiling? Well from what I know they made sure to collect the rare yet occasional rains which somehow still fall.

Motor control has slowed down to a dull, I can’t even keep my position leaning to the wooden hut,The same time as the door opened I had swayed to the side falling in towards the old lady. Luckily though, for some reason the scythe is still tight in my grip.“Woah, I didn’t think you’d want this old lady that bad that you’d throw yourself upon me.” She must have gotten a closer look at me, “You don’t look so good. Let’s get you in.” She supported me leading me inside.How is a frail old lady able to hold me upright. It’d be a blow to my pride as a man if it was my weight, but it isn’t.I’ve had my suspicions but this woman isn’t as she seems.She laid me on a cloth-made bed.“I should get your gift in before someone makes away with it.”I get how you feel about securing resources detrimental to survival but someone’s dying here.I get it now.
