Survivers
Chapter 10 : The Equinox part 1
Gore content
(Internal point of view: Damian)
I find myself facing this albino boy looking of my age accompanied by a black leopard, probably a guardian like Miguel. A bestial power like mine emanates from his body, I draw the blood on my mouth and begins to show my teeth, it becomes sharp like the fangs of my wolves, and my nails become claws. I see him smile then show me his hand, his nails sharpen and become real leopard claws, the pupils in his lavender-colored irises have also refined, and his teeth have become leopard fangs
- So you too ... Are you starting to feel the effects of the pact made with the guardian animals of this islands? In your turn you start to become a wild beast, that explains now the dead body and the numerous shredding bodies that I met on the way ... The leader may be only you! He declares to me by making his changes disappear on his body.
Just like animals we start to go around in circles while fixing each other
- The effects of the pact with the animals do you say? Where do you want to go I do not follow you? Did I question him wary, this one smiled at me
- Normal that you do not understand! It's been a long time since you and your boyfriends arrived on this island where survival is paramount! Believe me I learned it at my expense too, it will be more than 6 months that I am on this island, for you ... you have been here for more than 3 months, the experts have surely stopped looking for you now , and are probably going to declare you lost to your families ... and now that the radio tower is destroyed, do not even hope to get help easily! If you really want to join the civilization again ... it will have a great idea because here, no one will let you go now that you are looking for ... And if it is, you risk losing many of your friends !
I frown at this guy, Miguel comes back to stick to my leg
- Who are you ? Did I ask him
- My name is Kirron Asper Hope! I arrived on this island by a plane crash, so I was a prisoner of these people in the bandit complex and now I'm looking for somebody annoying enough to watch, but what I want when even help. And you who are you ? Did he introduce himself
- I'm Damian Hart! I'm shipwrecked by a cruise ship, now I hope to find and save my friends from this hell, but before I want to save this island! I see Kirron raise his eyebrows and cross his arms
- I understand you ! I too am a little obliged to help Neo and ... the history of this island interests me a little, and then I also want to stop this rubbish that rots this island.
I sigh and then proposes to go with me because I was about to cross the path that would lead us to the ruins, he just shrug and then agree to follow me, our two animals come forward on the first steps and we in front, we see a very long path strewn with ambush, I crack my fingers then we begin to advance on a large wooden bridge over a river in fury then we arrive at the edge from a very high cliff, I sigh before throwing myself into the void and catch the branch of a suspended tree, I balance myself for a moment and project me on the other side of the cliff, Kirron does the same and then we continue to advance to a grand stone staircase I hear Miguel squeak and grunt Neo.
We climb the stairs at high speed and I find the animals locked in a net while men try to approach them, except that seeing us they rush on us. I go out my sword and slice in the quick, the blood spurts me in the face, my bestial side panic in my heart and gives me more and more hungry, other men rush on us, I see Kirron rotate his spear and slice into the flesh before pulling the net that releases our animals. For a guy who only has a spear and a revolver, he's doing well
- Catch them ! Shout a man to others by loading me, I can not take it anymore, I feel like I'm going to crack, without waiting I jump him by the throat, release my fangs and offal on the throat of the man, my teeth tear his flesh, his blood gushes out and his head ends up tearing under my fangs.
Behind me I see Kirron, bite, tear and slice the flesh like a big wild leopard, suddenly I feel a bullet through my arm, I jump back and hide behind a crate, there I see snipers installed at the top. 'a high building, so I do not hesitate and go to the beam to destroy it with my shotgun, men make a fatal fall. All enemies were defeated and our animals released
- Not bad your way to beat you! Congratulate Kirron with a smile in the corner of his mouth
- I could send you the compliment! You're doing pretty well too! By the way, if I remember correctly ... Who is this annoying person you are looking for? Can you describe it to me? This one lets go a big sigh
- She is about your size ... She has long black hair, big brown eyes, a terribly annoying character, she drags with a bear and ... she is pretty enough!
I frown out the description, I cross my arms and approach a few steps
- This girl ... she would not be called Pandore Scarsheld by chance? I see him raise his eyebrows
- Uh ... I think that's it ... Do you know her? He asked me curious, I then suddenly grabbed by the collar of his shirt and then plunges my cold eyes into his lavender eyes
- She's my girlfriend ! I hope for you that she has nothing because otherwise I will not hesitate to make you skin believe me ... Anyone who touches or insults my princess in front of me, takes my fist in the mouth! Right? I let him go and jostled him, he smiled at me with sarcasm
- Yeah, we get naughty at once! We must believe that the Prince always comes to defend his little Princess! How pathetic! This is ridiculous guy, serious fairy tales have to stop, it makes crazy!
Suddenly I hit him in the face until his nose bleeds, I hear him groan
- Ah yes you want to play that Damian Hart! He gets up by cracking his fingers then comes to throw on me to come and punch me in the belly, I recoil with my hands on my belly while wiping the blood from my mouth before giving it a blow in the He screamed and fell to the floor while I struggled to stand up. Suddenly I feel something nibble my ankle while Neo comes to give a poke in the back of Kirron
- Miguel ... Ouch let my leg please! I asked my wolf pulling on my leg
- Ok ... I'm sorry! I apologized and then Miguel finally let go of my ankle.
On Kirron's side, Neo lifts his shirt
- Neo stop! I'm sorry, but please let me go! He asks, Neo sighs then lets go Kirron who gets up
- You're just fools! We have an important thing to do so we do not have time to fight like fools! Growl Neo, Miguel nods and then the two animals take the road, I sigh and I join the animals with this detestable Kirron. Then over the river, I see a giant wooden box suspended by ropes, I decided to jump to grab the ropes and climb to the top of the box and arrive in the suspended building that I tipped, I continues to advance to a stone wall. My nails become claws then I plant them in the rock and climb up the wall.
There, I see a new river flowing to a waterfall where above is a pillar where was attached a hanging rope
- Good ... when you have to go, you have to go! I sigh before starting to hold on to the rope, I get to the other side and wait for others passing, Miguel has no problem crossing, like Neo when Kirron crosses the rope to my way. Once on the other side we continue to cross to a dark cave, immediately I light a torch and crosses it, on the stone walls, drawings are engraved there
- This seems to tell a story ... I thought while looking at the drawings, on the stone, a people accompanied by animals is engraved, all carries a light in the palm of their hands, above them long line in which silhouettes dance and four symbols shine.
The more I advance, the more drawings that appear, now I see animals in single file and they look bigger than the other animals: I find a black wolf, a black leopard, a bear, a red deer, a fox with very red fur, a peacock flying over them, a panda and a rabbit! All look up at the sky so curious I look up at the ceiling of the cave and see something that surprises me: On the ceiling, I see the drawing of a gigantic giant owl with wings spread and eyes shining is as if he was staring at us
- Do I understand that there are giant animals here? Exclaim Kirron looking at all the animals
- You're less stupid than I thought Kirron! But you are too curious ... yes here we can guard animals can become giant thanks to the powers of this island just as humans can become animals themselves if they do not take care, because we are the protectors! But we do not use this form lightly, we are gods! And the gods only reveal themselves in case of extreme urgency, remember this ... Just as we are affected by the powers of this island ! We declare Neo looking at the drawing represent the animals.
- And where does this power come from? I asked him intrigued
- Of the Sacred Tree of this island! And the many prayers of the people that have been protected for more than 100 years: The Equinox ! Miguel replied by coming to rub my leg, this is the first time he speaks directly to me in this way, he usually speaks to me telepathically and now he is talking openly
- The Equinox? What is that ? Never heard of it ? Kirron declares with a shrug, Neo grunts and tells us
- Watch your words, insolent! The Equinox are the purest and most noble beings that the earth has ever worn. They are the children of Mother Nature in person, born to bring purity and fertility to the Earth and to nature. They are gods, beings superior to the human race, they are born with the power of creating plants with healing magic to any injury or disease, they can plant trees able to survive even in a very sick land and that they manage to make fertile again. They are the ones who created the beauty and wonders of this island ... unfortunately soiled by men !
- And how did men know about the existence of this sacred people as you say Neo? Asked Kirron, then we see Neo and Miguel look down and it is Miguel who comes to speak
- One day ... men have landed on this island ... they were starving and wounded because of a storm that destroyed their boats! And the Equinox with their spirit of goodness, came to their rescue! The Equinox fed them, housed and cared for them, little by little the two breeds formed links between them even to the point that a mixed generation was created ... Men or women of natural race began to mate with Equinox and gave birth to children with Equinox and human blood in one body. But it was easy to recognize the purebred Equinox children, just like their counterparts ... their hair was white and their eyes very deep and brilliant blue and they could understand nature and animals. While the others had defects, instead of being white, their hair could turn blue or gray, and their eyes, instead of being blue, could turn gray, purple, or even green. And sometimes even there were children who had white hair but who had eyes of another color, like another could have blue hair and eyes with a touch of blue! They could not communicate with animals or nature!
My eyes are wide of surprise. Neo then looked at me and Kirron and told us that maybe we were descended from this very old generation despite our faults. But then ... maybe my parents were part of this generation, it surprises me, I shake my head to regain my spirits and then we continue our journey even Kirron seems as surprised as me, even if he seems to play the step surprised at all, one would even believe that he suspected it ... What a framer I swear to you!
Then we continue our path on the detour, we are just a few steps from the ruins Equinox, and it means because I feel the unpleasant presence of looters, so I hide behind the ruins of a wooden house , I fire my sniper rifle and then use a hole in the wood I aim. I see four people in my line of fire, 3 people down and one a few inches from me, I walk very slowly towards him and then with my hunting knife I just kill him while recovering his walkie-talkie, then I shoot in the heads of two guys while the last is kill with violence by Kirron. It is not true he is always obliged to come spoil my massacres, it hurts my heart every time I withdraw a life, at the same time I am hungry too, I have the impression to hear only my belly to gurgle instead of the cries of the men I kill.
- What is happening ? You are hungry ? Kirron asks me seeing me sitting on the floor with my hand on my belly
- I'm fine ... I just did not eat since yesterday ... I'm hungry! But I do not have time to complain, we must go and see what is in its ruins from what Miguel told me. We have to cross this village and reach the big rocky slope to get to the top! I answered him before getting up and start moving again, I even heard Kirron mumbling without any discretion
- Idiot !
