《Beyond Mortality》Chapter 5 - Make a sound in the East, then strike in the West
Advertisement
Locux proceeds to walk towards the masked man.
“Well, well, well. Look at what we have here.” Locux says as the man finally notices him.
“Kid, was this your plan all along? Did you lure me into a trap you milk sucking bastard” the masked man said while occasionally coughing up blood.
Locux laughs “Someone isn’t completely foolish.”
He slowly approaches the masked man one step at a time. At this time Locux resembled a Death God coming to reap lives and send the masked man to the underworld. Locux was unhurried and continued to smile while approaching the masked man.
“Why did you want to kill me? Who sent you here?” Locux asked
“Don’t you dare think of killing me. I am a follower of Young Deity Luke. You can only blame yourself for offending the Young Deity and incurring his wrath” said the Masked man hurriedly while backing away
"Young Deity Luke, I will remember this name."
It was at this moment that Locux took his makeshift spear and threw it!
The spear impaled the masked man’s leg.
“AHHHH” The man was caught by surprise as he yelled in agony. He prepared to defend himself and deliver a killing blow to Locux but at this moment another surprising thing happened!
Locux took off running in another direction. The man was confused but when he saw what Locux was running towards. Locux was running towards the severed hand that held the spear!
“What are you doing? STOP!” Yelled the masked man as he hurriedly tried to take out the spear embedded into his leg.
This was Locux’ s plan all along! Make a sound in East, the strike in the West. Locux had no idea if the masked man would see him going towards the spear and try to kill him in a fit of adrenaline filled rage so he needed to distract him. Locux relied on the fact that the man would allow him to come up close before releasing a hidden attack. With this taken into account, he planned to rely on the arrogance of the masked man in order to entrap him.

Locux went towards the spear at top speed and leaped to grab it out of the severed arm.
Following that Locux inspects the spear and looks towards the feeble struggling masked man.
He runs at full speed towards the man and delivers a fatal stab towards the head. The masked man tries to dodge but it is for naught as his head is punctured and his brain matter litters the ground.
Locux looks at this scene. He has only awakened in this jungle a few days ago without most of his memories and has already taken a life. He thinks about this deeply and realizes that showing mercy to the masked man would have been a foolish decision that would have brought about only death and suffering for him.
This is the jungle. A primal and lawless place where the only law is survival of the fittest. Those who disobey this law will only be met with a tragic ending!

Spot of Mummery: Tales of the Bard Technologist
-Webfiction/RolePlay set in the FFXIV MMORPG world of Hydaelyn- In ancient times, Amon was an infamous, immortal Technologist - one of the legends of the late Allagan Empire. However, when calamity strikes his civilization, he's forced to place himself and the remaining Allagans into a time-locked sleep in order to survive. Fast forward many ages later when Amon and his people awaken once more. The world has drastically changed, and his kind is now deemed a threat. The heroic Alliance responded by sending a raid to eradicate the last Allagans, where Amon was ultimately defeated ...or so the world thought. Through his ingenuity and aetheric technology, Amon manged to cheat death. Only, things didn't quite work out the way he planned. Stripped of his magic and technological resources, Amon now takes on the guise of a bard as he struggles to build a new life in a time long after the fall of his empire. But, should the people of this modern time discover who Amon once was, he fears they would put an end to the bard technologist's tale. I've been writing Spot of Mummery since 2018, so there's quite a backlog of story to post! This story was also written before the changes made to lore released in the Endwalker expansion (December 2021). I will address these changes eventually, but only in later chapters - ones written after the expansion came out. I hope that you enjoy and look forward to hearing your thoughts!
