A Road for the Weary Chapter 2
ok I have gotten some reviews and I have been motivated to write some more sorry it took so long I thought I could upload it on my Ipod and tried to figure out how to do so. I finally gave up and just typed it up.
without further adue here we go back to the story that you apparently love...
when I woke all I could see was shadows creeping up on me. the said shadows were red like crimson blood, disembodied and quite fiendish looking. Most of the had red eyes that stood out from the other crimson colour with some sort of glowing hue. The creatures noticed me and quickly faded out. With that over I got up off the ground feeling uneasy and abit shaky. It was only then that I recovered my bearings and looked around me. Rocks. Everywhere was just completely rocks. It was flat and there was a mountain that did not quite fit but seem to do so very well considering in the distance. I estimated that it was about a few days walk away. Other than that there was not much else to describe the place that I was in. Reaching for my spear since I needed something to keep me on my feet being uneasy I found that I only brushed my fur. Confused I looked down to find that I had been dressed in only a pair of baggy tattered blue jeans and a small brown satchel. Why was I stripped of my clothes, given this satchel and where the fuck am I. wondering why I unbuckled the satchel hoping to check inventory and to find something that might help me figure all of this out. I opened it and what I found surprised me. There was an old leather bound book, a small face shaped relic with some runes carved onto it and a metal canteen. When I lifted the canteen out I feel something inside... well to be expected ROCKS. Some use that will be I decided. I then examined the book. the cover was warped and scratches in many place like it had been on numerous expedition and it was hard to see what the title said. When I oped it up I found runes similar to the ones on the relic. I tried some more pages only to find that it was all written in the same language. Since I didn't think there would be any other language I shut it and picked up the idol. Looking at it for the first time properly I noticed two things: one it had no eyes and two that the face was a sergal's. Putting down the idol and wondering what the hell happened and if any of this stuff meant anything the book beside me slammed open and started flipped the pages rapidly back and forth until it stopped at a page just after the middle. "what the fuck is going on here?" I yelled. curious I crept up over to it and found that I could read the pages. On them in a nyan blue ink it read {you are in your subconscious and are asleep in the real world.} "ok.." I said slowly stilly feeling quite a bit confused. "Why does my subconscious look like this then?" I asked again trying to get another answer. Flipping it's pages it stopped again and a blue feather came out of the books spine and flew into my hand. it was on a blank page near the front of the book. {you might want to write down your questions if you want them answered more thoroughly. Plus it's easier for me to understand you this way me being a book and all I can understand writing more than I can understand speech.} I decided what could go wrong at this point. [ Not to be rude but what are you? Please don't answer a book.] As soon as I stopped writing the writing changed from black to red ink. the book started writing back. [well technically I'm what you would call a enchanted or magic book to be blunt.} [Ok thanks now if you don't mind answer me this. what the hell am I doing here and again why does my subconscious look like this.] I wrote feeling bit worried. {you are here because someone would like to speak with you and it looks like this is due to you memories fading away plus you being a sergal now.} When I read the last part I felt as if my mind were going to explode. [ who the FUCK would want to speak to ME inside MY OWN MIND] I scribble furiously making sure to capitalize. {That I do not know but what I do know is that he is one top of that mountain.} "Did it have to bee the only dangerous looking and farthest place away from here" I muttered {yes} sighing I picked up everything putting the canteen in my bag for use later. When I picked up the relic I felt an odd sensation. It was almost as if it was alive. The eye sockets then started glowing dark purple and a voice pierced my head like a rusty knife. "RUN IF YOU WANT TO LIVE" It shrieked. Panicking I started running towards the mountain. "Why am I running?" I yelled at the statue which I hand in one hand and the book and quill tucked under the other. "LOOK BEHIND YOU" Sure enough I should have been running. behind me were creatures that could be briefly described as living nightmares. there were four of them all of which were around 7 feet tall and covered in rotten flesh that did not seem like their real skin but was shaggy on the as if they were wearing it. They had the black faces of a beetle but had cracks and ragged edges everywhere where pieces of it's face plating were falling off. Their four arms each of them had were twisted and mangled at horrible angels that I didn't think were even possible if you were dead and your bones were rubber. The hands were that of a human's but had stitches on every finger and were a mismatch of shapes and sizes the stitches were formed into words that I did not take the time to read. The legs were the most normal part of the monstrosity. The legs they had no extra feature other then the decaying flesh. The feet only had 2 big toes and one at the back like a bird but instead of talens they had broken glass shards of bones and one of them had a spoon crammed into the toe nail cavity. All in all they were terrifying. "God dammit what is that." I screamed not caring if I sounded like I was crying. Which I wasn't. "THOSE ARE CALLED HENTASHI. LET'S JUST SAY THEY DON'T WANT YOU GETTING OUT OF HERE AND WOULD RATHER RIPPED YOU MIND APART." "how would that work if I'm in my subconscious?" "IT WAS A FIGURE OF SPEECH. THEY WILL MAKE YOU GO INSAIN." "If I'm not already." sure enough though they were running after "us" shrieking and hissing. "how are we going to lose them? I mean you ummmm... thing seem more knowledgeable then me even if this is my own mind." As soon as I had said that the landscape around me changed dramatically. The brown rock expanse changed to a midnight northern mountain top with a light brush of snow so I could tell that "we" were not too far up. Also I realized that the hentashi were nowhere to be seen. Well until I looked around into the distance I could see four tiny blots. "Wha what happened?" I asked more confused then I had ever been in my life...that I could remember. Ok besides when the invasion started. The book tucked under my the started glowing. I opened it to the page I had been writing in before. {That was your relic Onikini teleporting us to safety. Onikini will sleep for some time now since it used up so much energy up.} [Oh well you said there was someone up here in the mountains who wanted to talk to me.] {Yes if I can recall correctly now his name is Degrainif he is one of the shadows you saw when you woke up. Here he is now.} Sure enough he appeared over one of the oddly shaped slopes on the side of the mountain. It was like the others but twice to three times as large. I'd say if you were to measure him you might find him to be 6 feet tall. It was crimson in colour like the others but instead of having no true form it had more of a anthromorphic draconian form fitted into a large black leather strapped coat. when I looked at him all I could think about was this man is so badass.
well I'm going to end it there for now right at the meeting with Degrainif. if you would like to make some suggestions like always just submit them in the review since I don't check my email. also please don't hesitate to criticize my work and I will see you in the next chapter ^.=.^
