《GODFALL》6 The quest for food
Advertisement
The birds chirp in the dense forest, dark clouds. The demons must be scouting, killing off anyone left in the darkness. A giant creature skips by, brown fur, big, majestic antlers. I look at the knife, I gotta get food, water or they'll all starve. I sneak up towards the animal, it eats grass as I come up behind it. I lunge forward into a sprint, it simply turns to watch me. I raise the knife and just before I get close enough, it charges at me, antlers first.
I blink, but I see many children, the demons with hammers. The creature slams me up and away, I hit the ground. It gallops are heard as I groan, Why didn't my power work? Is that what the other oracles saw? Is that their fate? I get up slow with my grip on the knife tighter than ever, then chase after the creature once more. I blink- Demons appear out of nowhere, I open my eyes and they crumble to dust. A splitting headache manifests itself, the trees rotate around me, the ground spins. I grab my forhead and take a knee. My heart pumps loud, What if that guy can't even save them? What if everyone is dead soon?
Something rubs against my head- the animal with it's rough antlers. The headache, all thought, it all melts away. I sniffle as my hands glide on it's warm, furry head. Oh wait! I take out the knife and pause- But he comforted me, does it deserve death? No, but I- I must feed them! I try to stick the knife in him, but he jumps back. A flame whooshes through the distance between us. I stand up and a flame catches the creature on fire. The creature screams and bolts away. "Aww, poor widdle bambi." A demon laughs and turns his attention to me, short, skinny and purple veins.

His hands? Why am I so fixated on them? Nothing's off. He goes to snap his fingers and something, I jump back and a flame rises from where I was standing. His fingers snap, I jump to the side, but a second is a blast towards my face. I cover my face, and the blast blows me back, I blink- Garbled voices, my reflection with glowing blue eyes, the mirror cracks, a pin-up calendar tears. I pick up the individual days, each reads "Day of death" I hold the marker, the day begs me for an answer.
I open my eyes and charge towards the demon. Snap! I zig zag too him and he cocks back his fist, I dodge, a fake out punch slams against the side of my head. I fly for a couple feet backward. He snaps and I roll. I get up, "Feel the flames of hell!" He snaps and I blink, there I am again, marker in hand. "Funeral Date:" It begs for me to write it down. Demons smile wild over me, It's their fate! Accept it! Your children's souls will be gone, like they never existed. I look up and there's Archangels, It's fate. Please, go with grace, beauty. No more running, no more fear! I write, "I will choose for myself." This place goes all in reverse, the mirror fixes itself, I stand in the mirror, but my children are grown up, we're smiling.
I charge through the fire, it burns my skin as I take out the knife. I scream and lodge the knife in his heart, "I will choose, damn it!" He goes to snap near my face, but I twist the knife and he goes limp. I tear the knife out and his body morphs into a coin. I stomp on it quick before it disappears and push the fragments into the dirt. I look at the flames he left behind, burn his blood off my knife. I follow the burnt plant trail. There's the creature, he panicked and the fire consumed him. I kneel and take out the knife, Thank you, for your sacrifice. I swing the knife down.

Tome of Stealth [A System Anti-Apocalypse]

Somewhere in there are the answers to who started the fire that killed her father. For far too long, Lorevinel Silvercat has been stuck as the Ravenborn clan’s free-roaming prisoner. They’ve held a grudge against his clan and have used him to vent their hatred. Having planned his escape for several years, he has everything ready, but he needs a specific artifact from the Rogues Guild to finally start his journey. Will Grace find her answers? Will Lore gain his freedom? Can these two unlikely people, both alien to each other, find common ground and work together while dealing with an unasked for soul bond?
