A S2 Story
Ok, this is my second shortstory written to entertain those in server two. I figured why keep this confined in server two I can easily post on forums and let everybody read it.
Note: this is unedited so there may be some errors, also the breaks in paragraphs are only put there to help me copy and paste the whole story into the worldchat.
You round the corner to find another empty corridor, you call out "Hello? Anyone? Please, if someone's there, please, answer me!" You listen closely, and feel your heart skip a beat, "could it be? Another person?!..." as you listen closely your heart sinks deep into a pit within your stomach, "... It's just my echo..."
You continue your journey into these seemingly endless corridors, as you wander about you begin to realize one thing, and you panic "What way did I come from?! All of these look the same to me..." you come to a break, and your faced with a tough decision... Left or right? As you debate with yourself silently you begin to hear a plodding coming from the left... Are you sure? You listen intently and mutter to yourself "Yes! There is something coming my way! Maybe?! Another person!!!!" you call out "Hello?! Who's there?!" suddenly... That plodding pace picks up, into a run. You squint down the corridor hoping to see something, but it's to dark. Suddenly the hair on the back of your neck stands on end...
Only one sound seems prominent to you now... That creatures breathing, it Is surely not human. Suddenly instincts take in and you dash down the right hand corridor. Hearing the pace quicken, you do the same. Suddenly another break you make a left, another choice, right; another choice, right; another choice, left; another choice, right.... Or was that a left? Your sense of direction is lost as you dash away from this being. Suddenly the only sounds are those from you... So you stop and rest. As you go to lean against a wall the wall collapses and you enter a room... That of which has a man sitting by a fire, and two mannequins.
He slowly shifts his gaze from the fire to you, one eye still appearing fixed on the flames. "... H... H... How?... Who?... But I thought?" suddenly he stands and looks you over. You study him, realizing as he approaches you he walks with an uncanny limp. He touches you lightly, "can you speak?" you bluntly reply "yes." at your voice he jumps back... Apparently startled at the sight of another. Even though your goal has been to find another person you have a strange feeling if this outcaste man. You waste no time "Tell me, how do I get out of here." he stares blankly at you, then begins to laugh "you can't leave, once you're in you're in for good. But, maybe, you may be able to. No one has though... Come child."
these last words ring in your ears while he leads you through turn and turn. You can't tell why but these words ‘come child’ seem so odd to you. You quickly hide these thoughts deep in the back of your mind as he abruptly halts. You look around to see a dim lit room "what is this? Some sort of joke?" he chuckles in a deep voice "try... A test."
Suddenly he vanishes, a gate closes behind you, and you hear that plodding and deep rasping breathing again.
Suddenly the room flares brightly and you see it. It's a grotesque animal, the shape of a tiger. It stands 6 feet tall, on all fours. It's skin appears a black leather. It has large claws... The shortest you're guessing to be 4 inches long. The most grotesque feature of all is it's face. It has empty sockets with flames for eyes, it seems to have chewed off it's own lips, it's teeth are large and protrude from the mouth, and the tongue hangs out lazily to the side; it's mouth also oozes a goldish liquid, your not sure what it is, and you wish you weren't about to find out.
Suddenly you notice a pole on the ground, you pick it up and hold it defensively. The creature lungs stupidly at you. You sidestep it easily and hit it hard with the pole. The beast seems annoyed by this and simple bites the pole from your hands, holding it in it's mouth. You gasp horridly as the metal becomes melted from the ooze of the mouth. Your also taken aback as the creature seems to... Laugh? Suddenly you hear inside your head "foolish human, you won't get far like that... Behind you you will find a blade, retrieve it and come back to me." you look at the monstrosity "Why don't you just end it now and finish me??" again the voice is in your head "you have heart... And that's enough for me to want to battle you."
Instinctively you back away slowly towards the alleged location of the sword. You hear that voice once more "just get the blade, you have my word I won't attack until you're ready, or I swear death shall be a swift one to me, and us HellTigers can't go back on our word." you still feel uneasy but turn around and locate this sword. You also find a chestplate and a small dagger. You approach the center of the room looking for the beast, not seeing it you call out "show yourself!"
it merges out of shadow in front of your very eyes. It begins to snarl menacingly; you let out a cry, that of anger, strength, and hope. The beast lungs for your throat and you barely sidestep it... You suddenly realize your quite stronger... At this point your veins begin to run silver. At this sight the HellTiger angrily howls and lungs once more at you in a blind fit of rage. Slashing and snapping at your face you barely fed him off with your blade, you manage one lucky slash across it's side. The beast jumps into the shadow on the wall and disappears, suddenly appearing from behind knocking you blade away. And it's gone as fast as it arrived.
As you reach for the blade you notice the HellTiger dropping from the ceiling, you roll over and reach for the dagger. Suddenly everything is dark and all you know is you're praying, your not sure to who or what, but you are praying. Suddenly you comeback to reality as the cool touch of metal is in your hand and the warm ooze reaches onto your hands. You knock the beast off to the side of you and stand victorious. After you pick up the main blade you turn around to decapitate the beast, not wanting to take any chances. But you look franticly "where the hell..." suddenly the whisper in your head "you fought valiantly, no one can kill a HellTiger, good attempt though; you're the only one to defeat me... Please take the armor and weapons and leave" you look around "how?! There is no exit!" suddenly the floor gives way and you feel your stomach flip as you fall into the dark....
You awake to find yourself in what you think is outside; the sky is black and red, every building is on fire, where you lie is even engulfed in flames, yet they cease to burn. You look yourself over and find that you still have on the chestplate, dagger, and sword. Also that your veins have gone from glowing a bright silver to a dull blue. As you stand you feel lighter, stronger, swifter.
Suddenly without realizing what you are doing you begin running in what appears to be a random direction. As you run you dash past destroyed vehicles, and smoldering buildings; you bound over bodies, and avoid strange shadow beings. Suddenly your legs come to an abrupt halt in front of what appears to be a throne, made of bones.
As you approach it the strange old man man materializes, and he smirks at you, "so you defeated her, huh?... She must be getting soft... It's been awhile since her last fight. So why have you come here?" ... You think for awhile and come to one conclusion "I've come to bring peace to this hellish world." the man seems taken aback and rises to his feet, "you wish to demoralize my empire?! What I created?! I didn't spend thousands of years pitting you foolish mortals against one another, feeding you all lies. Making you hate one another... Your dream may be to demolish mine, but I can't allow it."
suddenly a blade appears in his hand and you have no time to retaliate as he slashes at you, suddenly you feel the blade enter your arm. You wield your sword, ignoring the sharp pain in your arm. Only to find he's gone... "where ar..." he plainly states "I'm not gone child, just in a place you can't see" his face materializes in front of you and you states "unlike you, I can travel through realms... So while you only attack me from this realm, I can hit you from multiple." suddenly you feel many stabs, as you look down your body leaks out blood. You collapse, everything swirls and begins to darken.
You awaken in a meadow of daisies, to see your beloved and your young son running through the field, laughing and playing. They look at you, and your son stares and says "please come play with us, when you finish." suddenly you feel a flourish of strength as you come too and as you stand you pick your blade up in one quick motion, discovering your glowing brightly. The old man yells in agony and appears "how the hell did you do that?!" you spare no time lunging, as the clang of the blade metals clash and the sweat and blood of your work continues to flow; you endure many wounds, ignoring each one, only inflicting a few to your foe. Meanwhile the entire time you hold onto that one image of your son.
You let your guard down for one moment and the old man is at your back, he knocks you to your knees, as he draws back to swing and decapitate you, you duck and unsheathe that small dagger, he swings and misses. You lunge at him, driving your blade into his chest to the hilt. Yet for some reason you feel a stabbing pain in your chest, to see he has done the same, piercing straight through your armour. You look him in the eye and he appears to stare deep into you...
"you fought well... I guess I was not ready to rule this realm... Just remember though... I will return." with this said both you and your foe drop to the ground. You wake in a smoldering field. As you stand you feel many aches and pains in your body, under all this you begin to collapse... Suddenly a young man and an elderly woman appear at your sides; "welcome home."
And for those of you that wonder I am 16 and a half. Please tell me what you think of it
and don't be afraid to say the truth.
