《Birds of a Feather》Nesting: Part 2

Adem chuckled as he pulled the black hoodie and goggles out of his backpack. “The Crow, huh?” He said approvingly.
James sat down on Adem’s bed. “Yeah at least your name is cool. Sparrow… Sparrow? I mean, anything would have been better.”
Adem, almost automatically, stated, “City dwelling sparrows are some of the more aggressive songbirds in the U.S.”
James grimaced, “Yeah a songbird, crows are creepy and cool. Why can’t I be like Hawk or Falcon.”
Adem ignored his complaints, “The news said that the cops haven’t said anything.”
James nodded, “Well what about Eli? He hasn’t said anything.”
Adem’s blond hair fell into his eyes as he shook his head. “No, he’s been working a lot more than usual lately. I haven’t seen him much.”
“Aren’t you worried? Your roommate is a cop. You are a criminal vigilante. Seems pretty risky.”
With a sigh, Adem shrugged. “Well, what do you suggest? I can’t just move out.” He paused to think when suddenly they heard the front door open. “Speak of the devil.”
James flashed a smile and jumped up, “How about we just ask him now then?
“No no no, James-” But it was too late. James had already hurried off and Adem reluctantly followed.
Eli was in the kitchen, still in his police uniform. He was tall and bulky with neat black hair parted to the right. He usually held himself with confidence but tonight his movements seemed sluggish.
“So cop boy, what do you think about this?” James questioned as he held up his phone with a blurry picture of two hooded men on it.
Eli made a weak and indulgent grin, but how exhausted he was still showed through. “The vigilantes? Yeah, the news is making a big deal about it. But really, I’m not supposed to tell you guys about this.” He continued making himself dinner.

James pouted, “Come on, it’s not like we’re going to do anything with the information.”
Eli sighed, “Well it’s mostly just annoying because Chief is pissed. We have no idea who they are. I don’t think we should pay so much attention to them. I mean, there is real crime going on in this city. Gang violence has been particularly bad lately,” Eli walked into his room and came out a few minutes later in shorts and a t-shirt, “Really all I know is that the city is putting pressure on the department to deal with it.”
James continued to pry more information out of Eli but gave up after twenty minutes of getting nowhere and headed home.

Cycles of Ruin
Civilizations rise and fall. Kith build them up and monsters, led by powerful dungeon keepers, bring them to ruin. For three thousand years the cycle has been maintained by the Guild of Chaos and its endless hordes of minions who—in absence of their long lost creators—have taken it upon themselves to keep the realms of the universe in balance. The Guild has grown efficient at this task, but some among its ranks have begun to ponder the utility of a universe that has been robbed of the very possibility of change. Basil von Doom is one such dungeon keeper working for the Guild, leading an army of loyal minions from one conquest to the next; burning civilizations and sifting through the ruins in search of forbidden knowledge that the races of kith were never meant to possess. But having spent more than half a century in pursuit of glory and fame—trying to live up to the legacy of his father—Basil has grown indifferent towards his work. Desperate for a worthy challenge, but bound by his duties as a dungeon keeper, he has turned his mind towards uncovering the ultimate fate of the previous master of his house and the secrets that were buried with him. Now the young Master of House Doom must balance his growing interest in pursuing the trail of his father with the responsibilities that come with running a dungeon in service to the Guild of Chaos. To remain in good standing with the Guild, Basil has even accepted the task of mentoring an apprentice dungeon keeper, a young succubus named Elnora. It is at the tail end of her apprenticeship that the story begins; with a civilization poised to fall—its greatest heroes gathering for one last assault on the heart of darkness—and Basil striking up a conversation with his apprentice that will set into motion the unraveling of the universe. ***This is a rewrite and continuation of my story that was first posted on RoyalRoad a few years ago.
