《Gods among gods》Chapter 16 - Ava's room.
Advertisement
Mikah ran into the forest, but stopped shortly after. Something told him that in this forest it was better not to attract attention. He noted that this woods was much darker than any he had ever seen in his life. He approached one of the huge trees that surrounded him and touched it and noticed that a dark "aura" poured from the bark, like a river of pain and hatred. He sharpened his senses and felt the same independent and vile "aura" in everything around him, in every tree and leaf in the forest.
-"You are one…"- he whispered, realizing that the entire forest was an independent being full of resentment. His senses begged him to escape in time, but he couldn't leave the creature crying for help in the distance. He focused on the sound of crying using the 'aura' and moved as fast as he could trying not to draw attention to anything…especially the branches that seemed to sway towards him every time he got close to one.
An orb of light levitated slightly above the palm of a delicate, pale hand. The owner of the beautiful hand was Ava. She was attentively observing the orb from which some rays emanated from time to time that were lost in the room and raised with her static the multi-colored hair of the queen of that world. Within the light that came out of the ball, you could see the determined face of Mikah who was looking for something in the middle of the dark forest.
-They call that forest "Fatso", you know? - Ava said as she left the orb in the middle of a round white stone table that was in the center of a wide room full of windows, but without any door that could be seen.
-Fatso?- Haha. Good name for a thick forest.

-It's not because it's thick, it's because it eats everything that goes in there... your pupil could be in trouble- Ava's eyes fell on Deom, who was reading a book sitting on the edge of a huge and luxurious bed.
-You should stop watching your round TV and come to bed- Deom replied with a mischievous smile observing Ava's body without any shame.
-Aren't you worried about your student?
-He is an immortal- answered Deom throwing the book to one side and making it disappear before he hit the ground -this is his adventure… the adventure of his life. He will be successful… I hope haha.
Ava rolled her eyes for a moment, then looked at Deom, smiled and walked towards the bed revealing her long and beautiful legs that came out of her blue silk robe with every step she took. She didn't need to walk, and Deom knew it.
-Well, you would do well to take care of him as soon as you finish taking care of me.
Mikah lost track of time in the woods, he would run from time to time when he thought the cry was close to him and when it was away from him, he would stop to track him down. At this time he noticed that the branches did come closer as soon as he came to a complete stop, so he couldn't stop moving or sleep. He sensed that days had passed, but couldn't tell for sure since the trees covered almost all the light that came from the sky. He could see everything with the 'aura', so it was like seeing in the dark.
He came upon a gigantic rock carved in the shape of an ancient humanoid face with grotesque fangs and a frown. He noticed that the top of the head was even higher than the huge trees in the forest and climbed up it to position himself in space.

At the top, he could see a reddish sun and vanilla sky. The mountains were somewhere on the horizon, much further away than they had been the last time he saw them. The rest was an immense green sea. The forest had swallowed him.
-"So I'm lost"- he thought when realizing that the mountains were not where he thought they should be.
He could see the maze of trees shift and move into the distance from time to time. He could see the tops of the trees move like wheat in the wind and even he saw stretches opening and closing as if something monstrously huge were walking in the distance making its way through the trees. A green water shark that swam in the depths of a sea of forest.

Warhammer 40,000: Mind over Matter
Set in the Warhammer 40k universe, but accessible to those unfamiliar with the setting. The Imperium of Man has been fighting the Long War for ten thousand years. It is a war fought simultaneously across thousands of stars and against innumerable enemies. On smoke-filled battlefields and in the cold emptiness of the void the military might of the Imperium stands strong in the face of horrifying foes. It is not a war fought to conquer new lands, or to seize the wealth of enemy nations. It is a war fought to hold what they have, or to regain what they have already lost. The world of Nova Iberia is far from that war and supports the Imperium by sending her finest sons to foreign stars to fight and die as elite commandos in the Imperial Guard. A chance discovery on the corpse of one of these commandos has cast doubts around the world's loyalty, and has drawn the attention of the Imperial Inquisition. The seekers of the Alien, the Heretic and the Daemon have descended upon this peaceful world, and they will not leave it intact. Primaris Psyker Amelia Lafayette was a ward of the state, now bound as an acolyte to the Inquisition in recognition of her telepathic gifts. Inexperienced, and browbeaten by her training, she must adapt to her new circumstances or fall. If she can navigate the tangled webs of heresy, and survive life in the Inquisition, then she may find the opportunity to prove herself worthy of greater authority.
