《(OLD VER.) TRX's Adventures》Day 6: Purification of the World
Advertisement
The group was exploring the forest. The group, at that moment, realized that they hadn't eaten in days... And they just got hungry, unbelievable.
They decided to look for food in that forest. Fruits. They found a few berries, and they ate them all. They may have been poisonous, but they did nothing to them, absolutely nothing.
They continued walking through the forest, seeing different kinds of trees, among which there were pines, spruces, birches, larches, etc... Of course, our protagonists did not know that the trees had names.
Eventually, they ended up walking with no particular direction... They were actually lost. They decided to rest, sitting on a rock (except Pointy, obviously... The thing is, he doesn't get tired of flying. Really, even if sometimes he says he does).
In the distance a human silhouette could be seen, walking away, the only difference being that it had horns.
- Hey, that looks like an enemy, doesn't it? - said Roundy, very nervous. - Is it an enemy? Tell me... I'm scared...
- It is! - said TRX. - Or is he not?
- I don't know, it looks like a strange animal. - said Blocky. - Just like the animals we've been seeing.
Pointy got a little closer to that creature, cautiously, then came back and said:
- Now that I get a good look at it, yes it is an enemy, get ready!
The appearance of the enemy was most peculiar.... Although, for what the group had already seen, it was not unusual. It was a tall humanoid, approximately six feet tall, with a stocky, red-colored body, with large scars, like cuts, on its chest. It had two black horns. He wore baggy white pants and was not wearing anything on top. It had no face, instead there was a large mouth with pointed teeth. His hands... They weren't his, so to speak, they were sewn to his forearm and they were black hands, and his fingers looked like blades. It was a little bit scary.
They all stood in a C-shaped formation.... Something like that. The thing is, it looked like that creature hadn't seen them and was getting farther and farther away.

- Hey, come back here! - shouted Blocky, the monster seemed to have heard her; the monster let out a laugh and... He stuck his hand into a kind of portal.
- What? - said Pointy.
Out of nowhere a portal appeared behind Blocky, and the monster's hand came out of it, to hurt Blocky, but Blocky was faster and did the same as the other time: she made an ice barrier, avoiding being hit.
- You're really quick... Let's see if you can dodge this! - shouted the monster in a scary voice.
The ground beneath the group began to rise sharply and the monster started to approach at a frightening speed and... It rammed its horns into Roundy.... Although it didn't go through him, the blow it received damaged him quite a bit.
- Interesting, you were able to resist this attack... You are indeed protected by a divine aura...
- What do you... mean by divine aura? - asked Roundy, who was slowly healing at the time.
- This. - said the monster and touched him with its claws, which began to evaporate at his touch. After doing so, it jumped back a few meters. - It's unbelievable, little creatures like you, who don't have the slightest idea of what you're doing, are sweeping away the generals of the Infernal Army as if they were nothing... Damn it! I have to beat them, or else.... Arghhhhhhhh!
The monster let out a scream that could be heard for miles. It started clutching its head, as if it felt a sharp pain, and also began to approach the group erratically.
- I have to defeat you!!!
The monster began to... Levitate, yes. A red aura surrounded its body. It was looking up at the sky, apparently.
There was a terrible earthquake. The earth opened up and swallowed everything in its path ( is an expression).
The group was saved by Blocky (who else.), who made a bridge of ice (for them to run over.) which, every time the ground fell, moved forward so that they had somewhere to stand. They did that for twenty minutes, planning what to do.

Just like the time of the tornado, the landscape was ruined.
That monster, which was still levitating, was expelling energy from its mouth. It could not contain all the energy that a superior entity had given it.
- Is he going to kill himself or what's wrong with him? - Blocky said.
- Everything keeps getting destroyed around him and he doesn't even flinch, interesting. - said Pointy.
- So, do we use our power on him? - said TRX.
- ...I say yes. - said Roundy.
- Okay...- said Pointy.
They charged the power that they used on some of their previous enemies and.... They severely damaged that monster. His skin was charred, his stomach had split open and part of his guts, which were out, had been charred.... But he was still there, floating menacingly.
- What now? - Roundy asked with concern when he saw that TRX had fainted.
- What if we toss him that coin they gave us? - said Blocky.
- ...
- ...
- Let's do it. - said TRX, who, surprisingly, stood up.
- All right, I guess. - said Blocky.
And Blocky, with his powers, threw the coin at the creature's chest and it started to disintegrate it... Or rather to absorb it, it was hard to tell.
Everyone watched what was happening in surprise (with eyes shaped like little dots, yes.) After a while there was nothing left of it.
Then, out of nowhere, Blocky said angrily:
- These guys are so...! I don't even know what to say, argh!
Everyone looked at her.
- Huh? Well, it's true, we didn't try very hard to beat them. - said TRX. - And yet we beat them easily.
- I don't get it. - said Blocky, confused.
- Right, it's like... - said Roundy, but he was interrupted by Pointy.
- It's like something or someone has helped us or given us the conditions for our victories, that they don't feel natural. That's what you were going to say wasn't it, Roundy?
- I guess... - he said, he wasn't going to say that.
During that conversation, the ice melted. They were on the ground again and... The group saw a deer.
- Hey, what's that? - Blocky asked, excited. - Should we follow it?
- Yes! they all answered.
The deer heard them, saw them and started to run away.
- Hey, come back here! - shouted Blocky.
The deer ran away. The group followed it.
On their way they were amazed by the different species of animals in the area: they saw a few foxes, weasel... A lynx!, a bear, and so on.
- Congratulations.
A voice echoed through the forest. It was a very warm and comforting voice.
- Congratulations on unsealing the world. Now all is well... The world where it all began can be saved, along with the entire universe.
A man with golden brown hair and white robes was the one who said that.
...
...
...
The group went to an area with very few trees and, standing in the middle of practically nowhere, two men dressed in white and a not very hideous creature whose shape changed every moment appeared.... The only thing that did not change were its six wings and its infinity of eyes.... Besides the fact that it looked like a chair or a throne.
- Hey, what are you doing here? - said one of the men in white robes to that aberration. - And why are you looking like that?
- I just came to observe you, nothing more. - replied the aberration with a voice like thunder, and added. - And I wanted to impress the heroes, but they don't seem to mind my presence. Well.
He was actually too lazy to change his form.
- Phew... Well, it's time to explain what happened.
Said one of the men in white robes. The chair or throne watched the group, it was strange, each eye focused on a different member. It was weird, it was strange, it was.... I think you get the idea.

Ursus Ex Machina
Ozzy was a man of the wild. Raised in a remote village atop the world's mightiest mountain, he'd been taught to respect and revere the natural world. The realm he was born into had been there long before him, and it would remain there long after him. Sure, there was the occasional madman who threatened to destroy it, but such boasts were always empty. No one individual was actually capable of demolishing this beautiful blue-and-green ball Ozzy called home. No matter what terrible magics these villains wielded, they were incapable of causing permanent harm to the environment. Even if the planet was completely devastated, it would recover. Life would find a way to flourish, same as it always had. That was what Ozzy believed from the bottom of his heart, so he never once felt the need to save the world he loved. After all, it was never truly in danger. The world would be fine no matter what. The people were a wee bit endangered, but that was another story altogether. However, what would happen if Ozzy suddenly found himself devoid of his beloved wilds? What would the man do if the realm he knew - one of wonder, magic, and chaos - was replaced with a man-made environment of concrete, industry, and steam? Ozzy could never imagine such a thing happening, and yet that was his new reality. After losing a fateful confrontation with a mad wizard, he and his friends found themselves transported to a strange world so thoroughly alien that every waking moment feels like a fever dream. Separated and scattered to the four corners of this land, each of these adventurers will need to adapt, survive, and overcome if they hope to reunite. They would also need to do so quickly. The sooner they are able to find one another, the sooner they can figure out a way back home and have another crack at putting an end to the villain's plans. Whether such a thing was actually possible in a world with barely any magic in it was a valid concern, but Ozzy had more immediate things to worry about. For instance, why did the air smell like a perpetual forest fire? How did ships sail through the sky as if it were water? And most importantly, was the pavement he was hurtling towards at high speed much softer than it looked? Probably not, but a man could hope.

The devil's got my number
Dalton was always a nice place. Always had been. When that new couple moved here, we were all ecstatic. They were wealthy, but not arrogant, always willing to help out their neighbors. All around the perfect kind of migrant. They brought a child with them. Jacob. He was beautiful, just like his parents. He had his mother's beautiful hair, and his father's beautiful eyes. But he was different. He wasn't social, or nice, like his parents. He mainly kept to himself. Until one day he didn't. Strange tales, of the boy running around the neighborhood at night started to pop up. Of sacrificing children and dark rituals. The average person dismissed it as just that, rumors. But those of us that had seen the boy, knew the truth. His eyes were no longer the deep, vibrant color of his father. They were the green of rot, his skin the color of a corpse. The devil had taken the boy, and, like a disease, he was spreading his curse.
