The story of Maxin Slix Pt:2/2

The small Maxin sits there awkwardly. A frown clearly etched upon his face. I look around and find that my field of view is rather small I then realize that my body is as young as when I first came into this world. What the hell is going on? I look at the young Maxin and he slowly gets up. His parents look like they are trying to cheer him up as they grab a few toys and jingle them in front of him playfully but Maxin has none of it. The boy looks around as if looking for something but before tears stream out of his eyes.

He sits down once more a strange look of defeat taking over his face. Before I can do anything something strange happens. The entire world seems to go into a time lapse. The forest shuddering through all the colours of the season. The sun soars through the sky day melding into night and night yelding into day. The parents in the room seem to be on fast forward, them living there life happily but then something changes. The world slows down from what I can tell was roughly a few years. As the world slows I see that the sun is gently falling past the horizon. A tall beast slowly approaches through the trees. Taller then the tallest tree the white wretch slowly moves forward.

The beast is the only Wretch I have ever seen that had any real denominations on it. A large W with a spear striking through it. It lumbers foward with an almost deadly silence. After mere moments the tall bone creature raises his hand as he strikes the cottage causing immense damage. The parents inside realize this as the father comes out with lightning speed while the mother stays by Maxin. The father moves quickly as he tries to physically attack the monster. A punch is launched with true speed as it pierces through the creatures body. Blood blasting out of the body in a cloud of pure acid. The mans flesh burns off his bones after just that one attack. The man slumps to the ground dead. The creature calmly moves forward destroying the cottage further. Maxins mother slowly starts chanting as her body starts to steam. The creature tilts it's head while looking at the woman an almost curious look enters his face. The woman burns as blood squirts from her body as it comes to make a runic form in front of her.

The blood forms the rune quickly as many compound runes appear before her. Hundreds of runes inside runes. The complexity of the spell mind numbing as it just keeps compounding growing more intense and with every rune that compounds the woman becomes paler. She ages at a rapid pace as the spell finally finishes being cast. The runes turn like gears in a huge machine as the entire forest shakes with arcane energy. The sky turns dark as blood red clouds fill it. Blood rains from the sky and bloody water rises from the ground. The blood quickly forms a strange sight. A winged serpent, huge in size. The shear massive size is enough to make me dizzy. The serpent then strikes the beast but right before the Dragon can truly hit the beast a strange thing happens. The symbol on the Wretches forhead glows as the serpent simply dissapears in space. The Wretch opens it's mouth and says very few words to the dying woman "Thanks for the snack." After he says that the small hole in his flesh quickly mends as he moves.

As he moves forward the woman moves in front of her child to protect him once more. After some time a strange feeling enters me as the woman falls over. Dead. The Wretch moves forward as it slowly reaches it's arm out to maxin. A careful look enters the Wretches face as he starts speaking a strange ritual. "Release the beast from limbo and take this boy and place onto him limbo. Prepare our next Emperor World"

The words chill my body to the core as the black mark brands it's way through the boys skin. Maxin blankly stares at him not a hint of emotion on his face. The wretch looks at the boy and then into the sky. The blood red moon seems to brighten with a green flair as a strange serpent appears. The same vision I had at first. An almost strange energy fills the air as a lightning colored ball rains down from the sky. The same color as maxins soul. The orb rains down into the hands of the Wretch. He looks at it happily at first but as he looks closer a vision of rage fills his eyes. "THIS IS NOT THE SOUL OF A WRETCH LORD. THIS IS THE SOUL OF A HUMAN." His voice screams through the forest. The soul leaves his hands with electric speed as it turns into a strange black orb that dissapears from view. The Wretches mark slowly leaves his face as his body quickly fades. I finally feel that my body has become the correct size. Maxin slowly grows as well as he slowly falls asleep.

I feel a heavy drowsines enter me as I enter a dream state eagerly. I awake to the outside of the familiar entrance to the strange world as well as Maxin simply snuggling up against my body. He also groggily wakes up. He looks at me with an almost strange look upon his face. A single tear falls from his eyes as he shakes his head quitly. "I have to go through that night every single day of my life. Every day." he says shakily. An almost sad look enters his face as he simply gets up and slowly leaves me. This has to do with me. I am sure of it. My soul must have been in limbo some way and some how. I am not sure why I wasn't reincarnated then and I am not sure why I am even here. It seems like I was supposed to be a Wretch. I shake off this pain in my mind as I rush to comfort Maxin. I rush forward and yell "Wait maxin. I promised I would always be there for you." The young boy turns around and gives me a strange look. A look of distrust scarily enough. And he turns around as he keeps moving.

I realize that he needs some time alone. I turn around as I try and think over the things that happened. As I think about these things two new flashes enter my mind quickly. Two visions of the future. Probably the effect of the new Eye ability.

The first Scene is a strange menagerie of creatures all restlessly pouncing and eating eachother. A blood red moon fills the sky as a strange large crack seems to flood the moon with this strange energy. In the final view it shows the same man from the vision before standing before a pool made of blood. the pool swirls at a fast pace as a strange creature seems to be coming out of it. The visions this time are far more confusing then helpful.

After some time I open up the system as I look at the quests hoping for some tangible guidance.
