I stand over the boy cutting away at his soul. As I do I keep freezing him to keep the great beast from attacking me. The world shakes as sunny and jet fights the legion of immortals. I really am not shocked at the idea their immortal, its the deamon of repose after all. The only problem is I don't fully understand corruption but still I could succeed with some extra experience. I do find something odd, that the corruption doesn't seem to come from the thing itself. Its almost exactly like mordret. The thing is, if i could cut the connection between the Immortals and the great or cursed tyrant, terror or titan that had taken over them, i could free them. The sounds of battle slows down and stops. The boy falls asleep so I get up. I wipe my hands off, not that I need to, I unconsciously freeze away any blood that gets on me but still. I start walking over to sunny and jet. I notice nightmare, the horse. It's kinda funny that nightmare is not what you would think of when someone says war horse.
I end up following sunny, the guy is a little crazy but he never goes wrong with his shenanigans.
"This is less of a skin walker kind of situation and more of a soul stealer kind. I already sent a message to war to have idea and the like created"
sunny nods then glances back at me
"so we should address the fact war is unrelenting storm."
I shrug
"i didn't know when I first made them that they where going to be unrelenting storm. I've tried to not put anyone in danger, thus i sent them to the darkest most dangerous depths of the wasteland."
"Except for that one time"
"Except for that one time....yup"
I don't enter battle myself, I instead summon some of my army. The god grave unit to be more specific, the dreamer unit is protecting my citadels, and the evacuation unit is helping changing star with any major conflicts happening. Spider queen is the one leading the army, her fighting style is fast moving strikes, she never stays in one place for long using the fast movements to leave spiderwebs. I'm glad it comes out of her hands. I study the Immortals souls, or the corruption. I am almost 100% sure their being controlled, thus cut off that connection or kill the thing controlling them and I could free them. I get up as a massive rumble comes from another part of the city. I summon velvet.
"Well old friend, can you go figure out what's causing all that trouble"
she nods happily speaking
'right on boss.'
And she jumps from the castle onto a building and she gets to running. She was always so nice. I can't ever forget her face, it haunts me every time I look into my soul sea.
"Hey ■■■■"
"hm?"
Sunny walks over
"can we use that ship of yours"
I shake my head
"Thats a bad idea, we dont know how any of this works so we could really risk it being destroyed"
he shrugs
"worth a shot"
I glance back at the battle. I pat him on the shoulder and I go to the edge
"your in control of my army. Don't let spider queen die."
I then jump off going back to nightgarden.
"How are things going there?"
I sit on the railings. I should probably fix my appearance up a bit, I look like a crazy person.
"Better than expected, worse than I would have wanted."
I glance over at sunny. No need to i guess.
"...As I mentioned already, I have established fortified strongholds on each of the three islands, for now. Currently, the locals are laying siege to them. Once that chaos subsides a little, I will probably try to accomplish a few secondary goals to gain more advantages."
My senses are limited here, of they weren't then I might have gotten more then a little sick.
"Secondary goals? Like what?"
It also comes with a few massive problems, main one being its harder to figure out more of the Immortals souls.
"was thinking of trying to destroy one of the bridges. I'll need to find out what hides in the water, as well. The Eternal City used to drift in space, too, so I am sure that there is some kind of underground communications here. I'll need to explore them to see if there are tunnels that can be used to move around the islands rapidly. Oh, but most of all..."
I can't quite get it right, and it will take a long time.
"When we were approaching the city, I noticed a building that glanced like it might be an armory. It will be great to go ona small excursion and see if I can arm my shades better there."
This will be really tedious.
"I don't think that you'll find weapons in that building"
it's like learning how to do a lobotomy from scratch.... maybe I shouldn't put it like that
"Why?"
"From what I've seen, this place was meant to be a sanctuary. A place of peace and prosperity where even death held no power. In other words, the people living here were not supposed to suffer... plus, didn't you mention that the Eternal City used to exist in space? An armory suggests the existence of a military force and a need for weapons. Who would the inhabitants of the Eternal City even fight in space?"
Thats a fair point but there's more reasons why one would keep weapons. Even if its just for training on smithing
"Still, that does not mean that there are no weapons in the Eternal City."
I glance back at the group
"Well, think about it. If weapons were not used for war, then why would they be used?"
Their cool too i have to say
"Sports?"
Oh yeah. Oh wait
"Yeah. People might become immortal, but some things never change."
I notice the look sunny gets so I lean back and I whisper
"selfsest or however you say it"
he gets a brief look of pure dread remembering the movie about the devil and angel of Antarctica.
"Wait how the hell do you even know that term?"
I get a deadpan expression
"i can clone myself and I'm around effie a lot. What do you think"
As we are about to jump into the water i raise my hand.
"We take storms last hope"
the group looks over
"waters warm."
They all look at eachother. I didn't explain that well
"you've all read the report on the Tomb right? Well if you remember the blood lake on wind flower, then you'll understand what I mean"
sunny does a little oh. Jet purses her lips, clearly not liking the idea of that island. The house of night saints get what i mean. So we end up taking storms last hope. We land on the lighthouse island and we start walking. Noctis takes the lead as confident as ever, its too damn bright.
"Hm stop"
we all stop together
"someone put up traps. How rude"
Soon we come on a very unfortunate immortal. Poor thing. I could totally test on it. Oh my god I am becoming a mad scientist. We find more and more of the Immortals. I feel a soft cold hand take mine. Entropy, she's seems... on edge. Not good ill be on guard, or more so. Soon we come on.... thats not a immortal. Looks it but he's not one of them. I can tell. He looks up at the group. He's focusing on jet and entropy quite a bit..... is he staring at entropys chest? He is. He's not even hiding it. Whore.
