Heya people! Any type of comments and suggestions are very welcome. This is just a short story I thought of randomly to help me get started. Enjoy.
Valkyrie rushed round the corner, trying to avoid the tentacles that seemed to be able to anticipate her every move. She dived, ducked and side stepped the oncoming waves of relentless attacks, cursing Skulduggery under her breath. Why the hell was she always the first one to arrive when some kind of mad man was on the loose? Well, if you could call this a man. It was more like a hybrid of an octopus and strange, obese man to be honest. He was large and purple with tentacles the size of a small elephant, spewing from his body, each tipped with a silver spike. She focused on his eyes which were red with hate and lust. The tentacles lunged for her again but she jumped the feeble attempt to trip her.
"Pleasant! You said there was no such thing as octopus people!", Valkyrie shouted.
"Ah well, yes. But these are not octopus people. This is an octopus man." Skulduggery replied.
"You know, sometimes, you are just a complete and utter..."
"Don't swear"
"Moron!"
"You seem to enjoy insulting me. I don't think that's to healthy"
"Moron" she muttered.
Skulduggery addressed the crazed man. "Hello there, sorry about my friend here, she can get awfully annoying sometimes. It's just all the insulting that puts me off"
"Skulduggery! I will go and burn your hat collection if you do not shut up"
"There see off again! Anyway would you mind surrendering, because I would quiet like to go and check on my hat collection." The creature smiled and waved its large tentacles into the air. It then began to chant some kind of strange ritual which consisted of a lot of screaming and running in circles.
"Well, he certainly seems happy…"
"Skul, think of something quick!"
"Ugh, well if I have to", he calmly walked towards the flailing, screaming man. "Hello again! I was just wondering if you knew that, the sparrow flies south for the winter." With that, Skulduggery punched the octopus man straight in the jaw, who then crumpled to the ground. "There" he said happily, "Now get him in the Bentley."
"Why me?"
"Because I thought of the idea to punch him. Therefore, I am the brains and you are the muscle."
"Actually, you are neither"
"Val, your intelligence knows no bounds. Now get him in the Bentley"
"Moron", Valkyrie cursed, as she manipulated the air to lift the crumpled man.
