《The Perfect Specimen》Oh! Uh...Yum?

The moment Beths father hears this, he claps his hands and turns his head to the side, "Prepare a feast. We are welcoming back my daughter and celebrating my son!" He smiles and gestures for the group to follow him.
The father leads Alistair and the group into the manor which is just as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. Marble flooring and columns neatly arranged in the hall leading towards the dining room. Two servants stand in front of the double doors leading into the dining hall.
Each servant grabs a door handle and opens it in perfect sync revealing a room that could be better described as a greenhouse. Artificial sunlight recreated and foliage abundant at the base of each wall. A massive dinner table in the center of the room grabs the focus, especially with the massive feast adorned on it.
"You used a power to quickly prepare a feast? Isn't that a bit to wasteful for brother?" Beth put her hand on her chin in a curious position as she looks at her father.
"It would have been if it was a few days earlier. Now however, it is as easy as a waive of my hand!" A magnetic voice booms across the room as a dashing man with short spiked blonde hair instantly appears in front of Beth.
"Beth, why must you always act recklessly like that? What would I do if something happened to you because you were worried for me?" The dashing man smiles magnanimously at Beth as he puts his hand on her head.
Beths' face lights up as she sees her brother, she hugs him immediately starting to tear up "Sebastian! I feared the worst when I hear the news! I'm so happy you're okay!" Sebastian smiles at his sister.

He then looks towards Rodney, disregarding him as a servant. He turns his sights towards Alistair, however a strange expression forms on his face. He quickly hides it and goes up to Alistair,
"Boy, Welcome to the Brightstar household. I was informed of your would be position due to my sisters concerns and even though it would have been a lie upon a misunderstanding I would like to express my gratitude to you in the way of this feast!"
Alistair has been waiting by the side struggling with his hunger. He would have already gave in to his temptation if it had not been for the young man in front of him. When he walked into the dining room, he felt a sense of dread as if that half corpse had its mouth open ready to reap his little life.
It wasn't until the young man looked at him and finished his statement that the sense of dread disappeared without a trace. The hunger immediately surfaced and took over.
"I can see the starvation in your eyes, no need to stand on ceremony. Let us all feast!" He watches everyone begin eating as he pays close attention to Alistair.
Alistair walks over to table covered with various types of meat and exotic dishes. He picks up the leg of a bird that has been fried and bites ferociously into it. The moment the food touches his tongue, he immediately spits it back out.
Alistair tries to eat another dish, this time a stack of tender ribs. However, the same result occurs. Alistair understands that it's not that he doesn't like it. It's that the spiral in his heart and stomach that usually spin with a terrifying suction, immediately began rotating the opposite way and released a small gale with enough force to prevent the food from being swallowed.

Alistair panics as he understands that he can't eat this food. He begins to look for anything that he might be able to keep down. He comes across a dish that is giving a wonderful aroma and immediately reaches for it.
Without hesitation he puts the food into his mouth and it goes down without any problem and begins to soothe the spiral inside him, albeit slightly. He sees a pile of this meat and does not control himself.
The spectators in the room however make strange expressions as if they had just witnessed a horror movie. He tosses aside all of the properly cooked extravagant dishes and decides to go for the the raw monster meat that had been prepared for extras after the food was finished.
He eats at least three pounds of raw meat before letting out a satisfied,
"Yum!"
Beth and Rodney both let out a shocked gasp. The boy who they thought was mute just said "Yum!". Beth gets out of her chair at the dining table and walks to Alistair.
"Alistair, what did you just say?" She looks at him intensely with expectant eyes.
"Oh! Uh...yum?" Alistair looks back at Beth, not able to process what just happened.
When he ate the meat and the spiral became satisfied, Alistair went through a monumental evolution. His throat healed and his mouth became capable of intricate movement. Alistair gained the ability to talk!

Journey of Infinite Steps
Science Fiction/ Low fantasy Iliad. Oliver just wanted a job that could keep his family fed, and himself sane. Was that so much to ask for? Apparently. As he instead ends up facing monsters and dodging his way to another world instead. Competent as he views himself figuring out how to reopen a portal back home by himself is defiantly above his knowledge base. Of coarse it would be vastly simpler if he could keep 'getting back home' as his primary goal. 'Staying alive' is unfortunately a far more immediate and relevant goal. I will post any content warnings on a Per Chapter basis. Divisive content will be as skip-able as I can reasonably manage Discord Link will be available for those interested in assisting editing/ coauthoring. Especially character writers/those willing to work out the math/ economies and world building even if only as a wall to bounce ideas off of.-----Full Synapsis contains serious spoilers----- Looking to take care of his family, Oliver finds himself flung into a faraway place. Try as he might, his Iliad will not be simple or peaceful as he'd like. Alas the slow and unending war of Chaos and Order has long memories and longer reach. If Oliver is to make his way back home it looks like He'll have to solve the universe one fight and mystery at a time. Especially as the Laws of Physics shift, often on a per world basis. Hopefully there is still a home to come back to.

This is a Percy Jackson/Elderscrolls Fanfic I came up with in my free time. After writing 16 chapters I had some people DM me about co-posting it to different sites. Currently, I have it up over on Fanficiton.net and Spacebattles but as I saw this site allows fanfiction, and I use this site a lot, I decided to start posting it here as well. Feel free to enjoy it or hate it, I'm just writing to have some fun. If you're wanting to read it on either of those two sites I have the same name on both.
