I really hate when I'm not in the mood for writing fanfiction, but I need to update stories...even if I don't know if anyone really cares if I do or not. But I can't wait until I'm more into my stories to continue writing them, because who knows who long that'll take. So here is the next chapter.
Frank was dragged right out of the village back into the jungle. A few minutes later the two men brought him to a pit and threw him in forcibly. The pit was fairly deep, enough so that from the bottom, one couldn't just climb out. It took a minute for Frank to recover from his rough landing, once he did he realized that inside the pit was more like a cave than anything. He also realized that he wasn't alone in there.
"Who are you?" a voice growled, quite literally. Frank wasn't even positive that he was even spoken to, for all he knew it was just a wild animal that had growled at him. Either way, Frank didn't answer, which was a mistake on his part. Who ever else was in there was angered by his silence and tackled him to the ground.
"Answer me!" She shouted...wait, she? The being tackling Frank brought it out of the shadows and Frank could see clearly that it was a girl, a young girl, why, she couldn't be older than twelve. What shocked Frank even more was that he was pretty sure he saw fox ears atop her hair.
"I think I should be the one to ask who you are, and what are you doing here?" Frank asks the fox girl.
"Would you two stop interrogating each other?" Yet another voice joins in, this one belonging to a man. He easily lifted the girl off of Frank and set her back on her feet, though she crouched down on the ground immediately after. The man offered his hand to help Frank up, which he accepted.
"Nice to see you again, Frank." The man says.
"Thanks, but, uh, who are you?" Frank asks.
"Has it really been so long that you don't recognize me?" The man asks, and he sounded amused. "I'm Monk, and this fierce little ball of fur is Fare." Frank recognized the two of them now, vaguely.
"Oh yeah," Frank says sheepishly, "But remember, for most of when I was anywhere near you, I was sort of full-out demon mood, and I can never remember what happens if Shendu's in charge."
"So you're who Uncle Shendu possessed?" Fare asks. "I knew there was something I didn't like about you."
"Fare, you've never even met Shendu before," Monk says, "He and our parent's were imprisoned before you were even born."
"You don't think I know that?" Fare snaps, "As if I'd forget that I've never even met my own father before."
"Down, girl." Monk says sternly. "Go cool your head."
"Cool it where?" Fare asks hotly, "Right here is no different than any other spot in this hell-hole."
"Now!" Monkane shouts. Fare scowls and pouts, but does bound away to the far wall, leaving the two guys alone.
"What's eating her?" Frank asks.
"She's just moody because we're underground." Monkane sighs, "It's only at times like this do I actually see the family resemblance between her and Dai Gui."
"Can you honestly blame me?" Fare says from the other side of the cavern, "All that's down here is rock, dirt, and filth. It's so ugly and disgusting down here. There's not even any life down here, no plants, no animals, nothing. It's awful."
"If it's so terrible down here, why not just leave?" Frank asks Monk, "You've got such inhuman strength, you could probably jump right out."
"True, I could, and honestly, so could Fare." Monk replies, "But we tried, we couldn't get out. Pride has enchanted the cavern with good magic, and we can't touch good magic without being burned terribly."
"Pride, I guess that's who Gauna actually is, right?" Frank asks.
"Yes." Monkane answers.
"Alright, so that explains why you're still here," Frank says, "But what are you doing here in the first place?"
"Me and Fare started living here a few years ago, she enjoys the wildlife around here." Monk explains, "When Pride came a few weeks ago, me and Fare instantly recognized who he was, and that there was something wrong with him. But when we confronted him about it he threw us in here."
"Yeah, me too." Frank says, "I guess he doesn't appreciate being accused that what he's doing is wrong."
"Does anybody?" Monk points out.
"Doesn't anybody doubt he's an all powerful death god?" Frank asks.
"Not really," Monk says, "Pride is a powerful demon. Even if the villagers didn't believe he was a death god right away, Pride is very, very gifted in the arts of persuasion."
"Persuasion?" Frank asks dubiously, "They think he's this Gauna guy because he's persuasive?"
"Magical persuasion," Monk clarifies, "He uses his dark magic to get what he wants, just as his father taught him too." I think each of the seven deadly sins are gifted in a form of magic that their father taught them."
"Well, that's fascinating" Frank says frustratingly, "But seriously, we need to get out of here. I can't just sit here waiting for somebody else to do something."
"I'm afraid you don't have a choice." Monkane says, "We can't leave until the spell is gone. I doubt even you can. You have demon chi flowing through your body, and it's too strong to be resistant to the pain of good magic."
"So we have to just wait?" Frank groans.
"What other choice do we have?" Monkane sighs. "Let's look on the bright side. Nothing else can possibly happen to us in here to make our situation worse.
Yay, I've finally managed to write something. I was even able to get into what I was writing. Yes, the chapter's short, I think most of these chapter's will be, but I think there will be more chapters.
What's kind of funny is that I found out that Dai Gui's name is Japanese, which is interesting enough, considering he's a Chinese demon. It get's better though, Dai Gui means Gluttony. If I knew that a year ago, I probably would have planned this story so that Dai Gui was the Gluttony, but it's much too late to make such a change like that. Anyways, please review, and be patient, I will eventually update all my stories.
