《The Girl Who Jumped Through Worlds》5. Unexpected Visit
Advertisement
Well, this one is on me. If I hadn't acted like a spoiled brat and actually listened to what Lirius had to say and then question him properly, I'd probably be out of this mess. I didn't have to prolong anything with the stupid tackle on Lirius, and we'd be somewhere else right now; discussing other important stuff.
But you can't really expect me to know the answer of everything. What If Lirius had been an enemy for real? What if he still is? I can't risk it in any way. And if I have to be honest, I kinda like the way things turned out. I was wondering from the moment I got the dagger when I'd be able to test it out, and it seems that the occasion has shown itself.
There were 3 guards in the room now, and probably 1 or 2 more were outside making sure I can't escape. It's better this way, cause I can deal with them 2 at a time. Lirius was just standing there, with what looked like it's passive expression. I didn't have time for his tricks.
Eve incredulously tries to charge the closest guard he has her eyes on just to miserably fail and get pushed down.
"AHH" screams Eve. "Get off me you stupid pigs. You have no idea with whom you're messing."
"Oh trust me lady, " responded one of them. "we damn well know. Now, we can do this the good way or the bad way. I wouldn't want any of your pretty face to get damaged, so I'd suggest you be obedient and follow us."
Evelyn resists and attacks one of the guards, scratching him and bruising it's arm. Even though Eve had a victorious expression on her face, the guard just slapped her back; throwing her away. That blow almost made her unconscious, but she barely stood woke. Her action seemed futile at this point and she started cursing her dagger for being useless.

Shortly after, she was being carried by the guards. She semmed to have given up completely and while she was being carried away she didn't look up at all, her face down.
When they surpassed the door, a click was heard and Lirius yelled something inaudible. 2 of the guards that where patrolling outside exploded out of nowhere and the last 3 stood there shocked. One of them quickly tried to grab a weapon to go on the offense while the other two were already on the strike. Lirius apparently was low on breath and Eve deducted that the spell he had used might've used a lot of his power so she intercepted their attack by distracting them.
Nevertheless, Lirius still had stamina on since he assaulted one of them and fatally killed him, yet again by saying some words that were inaudible. He afterwards fell on the floor, exhausted. Eve went to help him but was ambushed by the other guard which swinged his weapon her way.
Is it really gonna end this way? Was Lirius actually planning something to get me out and if I hadn't been this reckless, he probably would've gathered more time and consequently killed more opponents? I don't wanna believe that, there must be something, anything I can do. It's too early for my journey to end.
The blade was getting closer to her chest.. and then out of nowhere a light. A light so bright that was actually blinding. Everything fell in silent then after a second Eve spotted something-- someone on the top of the shelf; which rapidly disappeared. Then screaming from the soldier followed. After a few seconds he laid there dead.
Eve quickly ran towards Lirius, checking if he was harmed or not.
"We've been pretty lucky m'lady." said Lirius. "I still had some strength on me that I had been collecting in a while. I knew this would've happened. Don't think in any way this is your fault. It was mine for taking too much to explain and being careless. But now there's no time, we got-- WATCH OU"

The last remaining guard that went to fetch a weapon was back and he was looking for revenge. No one saw that coming, but fortunately for Eve, Lirius noticed at the last moment and covered her with it's own body; consequently getting severely wounded.
"You're next pretty."
Evelyn didn't have any force left on her. She was just laying there with her eyes widely opened looking at her presumably dead friend. Where they ever friends tho? Did she even come remotely close to achieving a friendship in this damned world? Even though the circumstances, she still planned to one way or another convince the old man to depart with her. But now she was left all alone, at least it will all be over soon.
The guard was about to stab Eve when all of a sudden he stopped; falling on the floor. Evelyn was left in awe. Bewildered, she looked around to see if someone was responsible for this act of heroism; just to see Lirius pointing at ther dagger.
"It is it who saved you young girl." slowly said Lirius. "I had heard of something like this, but I didn't know whether on not it was true. I can see that you're both compatible with each other, which puts a smile on my face."
cough cough
"I've been repeating this since forever" continued Lirius. " but you must go to my fellow Tibius. You gotta pass the city of Dork, which is our current location and arrive at Lak. You'll have to find Tibius by your own, since no one really knows him. It won't be an easy task, but that's your next challenge. Be strong and believe in yourself. I know you can save us al--
"Lirius! Lirius!" yelled Eve
But it was all for nothing, the old man was gone.
"Granpa!" screamed a voice.
Evelyn turned that way, just to find a boy standing at the door.

The Destiny of a Mortal God (Hiatus)
Currently on hiatus, in part because I'm unsatisfied with how the story was starting to develop, and even though I had ideas how to run it, I still made mistakes far too big to correct them. Secondly I'm currently stressed about university, and sincerely, I don't see myself keeping this project. I may or may not retake this project or even start a new one, but one thing's for sure, it isn't happening anytime soon (Meaning until june, aprox, or until I can keep up with class). ... Lyon Ironblood, 19 years old and orphan, is taken by Kronos from the present Earth to another world, where he shall fight and struggle to get stronger so that he shall acomplish the mission Kronos assigned him. He shall fight gods, demons, dragons and monsters and even mortals who surpass those. But to do so he shall receive, though only after he proved himself worthy, a power beyond imagination. This power will not be handed freely to him, and he'll have to work hard to develop it. He shall receive the X-Men System. A magic system designed to enhance Lyon and give him the mutations from the X-Men serie. He shall start from scratch, with powers that will seem less than a mere human, and develop them with effort, to surpass the gods. [I don't claim ownership of any of the X-Men powers or characters, neither the cover, only thing I claim are the ideas which make the story and put together their powers, how they'll develop from scratch to even higher worlds than they were suposed on the series, other than that, all X-Men characters named (which I'll try to avoid to a certain point) are not of my property]
8 129Of Life and Light
Home. By definition, such a word means "A place where one lives", but what happens when one is removed from their home by those with greater authority? One would seek out another place to live, of course. Karastak, a Devil King and a Fallen God of a world called Terra, was removed from his world by something greater than himself, and has journeyed to the world of Azzarath by way of Azazel, God King of the Azzarathean Pantheon. Perhaps she performed thusly through pity, charity, or a simple act of kindness with no strings attached. Regardless, he is deposited near a village upon a mountainous range within the world. There, he meets up with his Human family, a grizzled old Templar, a shy Cleric, and an apathetic Mage, that came to take him away from his troubles, but he does not budge. That is, until one of his servants speaks of finding a new home. However, perhaps instead of finding a home, he finds adventure instead? The story within is a Frame Story, which means it is a story within another story. In that this one is being told by three personages, a God King called the Ageless, a Lich King called Brutus, and a Goddess named Sarah. Each of them speaks of the Ageless's past self, one called Karastak, as he journeys onwards throughout the worlds within the Azzarathean Pantheon in search of something more.
