I take a deep breath and run towards the desolated looking buildings, I crouch down and observe the hoove shaped dent on the bloody signboard, whatever the beast fought, it sent a hole right through it, yikes!
I rub the gauntlets Pedro prepared for me, I retract the Claws and observe the steel, "I feel like Daken, Was he Wolverine's first or second brat? I keep forgetting" I muttered this useless thoughts to myself. I eye my left elbow, at the red centipede tatoo that coiled round it, I take a deep breath once again and step into one of the buildings.
After the red centipede appeared we were startled at first, Bradley grabbed the nearest hammer and tried crushing it, the creature lept towards my arm before that could happen and transformed into a tattoo, "Must be your ability, hmmm, I've never seen anything like that though" Sir George commented.
I couldn't feel it, I couldn't feel anything swimming inside of me, but I knew it was still there. Bradley broke my train of thought, "Damn it, seems the fairies ran off, a shame" Bradley said, "By the way, have you briefed him, Georgie?" Bradley continued, "eh..... he'll figure, well.... I might have forgotten about that.... but it's no big-" Sir George replied awkwardly before Arthur, talked over him "Before you join us, you need a little test, an initiation ritual if you might, you can decline but then you're on your own here, you wouldn't want that would you?" he hissed, I quickly shake my head.
"All you have to do is bring back an antler of this by morning" he brings out a book and points to a strange looking Stag, "oh and you havvve to do it on you own" he finished. I gulped but ultimately nodded my head.
The district really had a different feel during lights out, no soul alive out here other than the strange beast that prawled around In the darkness, the creatures looked normal at a glance, but upon closer inspection they had either multiple limbs or torsos or heads, and they fought and feasted on each other regularly, even when they were being killed!
I shivered as I snuck past most of these things, the creature I was looking for, a multaideer , Arthur called it, was one of the more dangerous beasts around, strong and fast, sporting 3 heads and 12 legs, it looked like something outta a horror movie.
I found one, it was feasting on the remains of a humanoid creature on the floor of the desolated building I entered, another newbie like me? Doesn't matter, I sneak towards the corner of the room with more cover, I accidentally kick a stone.
It stands upright and turns two of it's head around , it's looking right at me! It's beady black eyes are looking right at me! I panic and summon the centipede in my left arm, "You called Master!" it said gleefully, I don't exactly understand what this thing is but it seems to have be made from my blood or something, maybe that would explain it's festive colour!
I point at the Multaideer and the Centipede charges forward, it buries it's pincers into the Multaideer's back and coils around it, the beast went mad! it started thrashing around trying to shake the centipede off it, it whilrs around and charges towards me! " Woah!" I duck outta the way but it's antlers graze my right arm! I curse as roll, getting to a safe distance.
I take another deep breath, I can't get angry, It will just make me loose focus, I stare at my gauntlets again and retract the Claws, I make a boxing stance and ready myself, the beast charges at me again! this time as I dodge I make the effort to slash at one of it's eyes, the head on my left! "awoo!" the beast grunted, it charge at me multiple times, but I dodge every move, it got some licks on me , mostly my arms but so do I! it's right side is a bloody mess now, it stops charging now, it looks woozy, is it the blood loss or whatever the centipede is doing to it? "If I do well will you give me a name master!?" The centipede said, before I could respond the Multaideer raises all of its front legs and stomps the ground so hard the floor breaks and the entire building shakes! "Woah, what the hell!" I scream, panicking, I run outta the building before it collapses, luckily I make it in time.
The beast follows me outside, it gives one good shake, flinging the centipede away from its body, it then stares at me with its remaining four eyes, it's pissed now! It charges forward and I run. I zig zag around the street, hoping to confuse the beast, some other creatures come out of the woodwork to investigate but are quickly mauled by the Multaideer, I continue to run, ducking through different corners, different alleyways, it still chases me relentlessly!
It's gaining on me! out of the corner of my eye I spot two dangerous looking beasts fighting, another Multaideer and a wolf creature I think, deciding to take a gamble I turn and run towards them, I slide under the Multaideer B and Multaideer A slams into it "Awoo!?" Multaideer B screamed confused, the wolf also confused by the sudden impact leaps back and faces Multaideer A.
Multaideer B gets up slowly and looks at the the other two beasts, there was hate in it's eyes, it took a charging stance ready to body them, the other two also take a fighting stance ready to take it own.
It was a three way now, I hide in a corner ready to witness the whole event, for moment, there was silence save heavy breathing.... suddenly the three of them charged, the wolf's head was blown off, the two Multaideers stop charging and stared at it's corspe in shock. I look around and find a woman of Korean descent was standing where the wolf's head fell, "it needs a little more work" she said coolly.
I hope you guys like the story so far, I'll try and release regularly.
