《Last Grace: The Apex of Another World》Chapter 11 - Turmoil in Darkness
Advertisement
To end his frustrations Lucifer focused the brunt of his attention on his surroundings. Quite aware of the darkness, and its many eyes that may or may not lurk there. The sky was neither blue nor was it black it was a blanket with colors growing ever duller - the moon even seemed to be in a hurry to get away.
Three eyes looked back out of that darkness. His awareness wasnt for nought as a three eyed rabbit waited to strike from a distant bush, it did not move, merely watched. Like he would be taken down by its stubby paws with equally dull claws, naive. He too was naive but to the extent that the rabbit displayed - that's simply ignorance.
He would show the rabbit that glared with three eyes who was going to be the victor. He began to sneak speedily towards the three glowing dots at the dead of the night. Lucifer did not take kindly to people watching his every move - ever! Especially ugly abominations such as them.
On his way towards the small triad of glowing dots disappeared without warning. A rabbit can only be so naive.
Lucifer did not stop running in that direction. He made sure that his ears were perked up and that his eyes never shut. One false move and it would be he who was the prey.
A blue screen appeared, he paid it no heed. He had better things to do. This was good experience, rabbits were fodder - all meant for Lucifer!
His steps giving sound to the quite night. He would no doubt be drawing attention to himself, especially when the night was as dark as tonight.
He was not used to not being the dominant force, that was never something he had to experience before he was here, wherever here was.

Good thing he is getting the experience now or if he kept going down that path he would of been properly screwed with no way to rectify his own troubles.
Once more the eyes appeared, no wait… that was another pair. The eyes facing him now were dull. Like the night was, and continued to be - dull.
He received a thrill from uncertainty - would he come out on top? Or would a greater predator make themselves known. Had any greater predators appeared in this territory he would surely of been a dead man.
Cracking his knuckles he prepared a long branch to utilize as a ward to all who dare attack him now. He had no doubt that their would be people would dare, it always amused him to a degree to see them struggle. The futility of coming against someone undoubtedly stronger than you.
The rustling of a bush was heard before he felt something slam into him, “Shit!” Lucifer spat.
He was too focused on his surroundings that he had not paid attention to his blind spots.
He coughed, flying to the ground from the rabbits unseen charge. His body moved on its own, he was in controll still. He was not on the same level as them. He was stronger!
Even if enemies coming from above - unless they were birds was not even a thought that had crossed Lucifer's mind. To his back craning his neck - he should do something about that!
In his immediate view there was a small shadow. One that belonged to the three eyed rabbit, its three eyes and small shiloute were proof of that. Its form turning up dust, preparing to charge him again. “Gotcha now you bastard” Lucifer grinned ready to pierce the rabbits disgusting shape - As he was about to pierce it, he felt something nibble the back of his left leg - causing pain, and his attention to shift to the affected area.

“This night is going to be a late one.” Lucifer proposed. The thrill of the fight sinking into his flesh, his eyes taking in the pair of rabbits bloodthirst.
This is what it meant to start anew!

Synapsis (Liber Telluris Book 2)
Ancient biotechnologies, psychotic satellites, and incomprehensible enemies… The weaponized strain of the genophage—the disease that ravaged the world, turned men into monsters, and ended the Last Era—is in remission, but the effects of its attack on the genes of the Nethress family linger… Tvorh, an adopted Nethress biomage with everything to prove, is tasked by his liege Dorsin to invent a permanent inoculation against infection. At Tvorh’s disposal is an unprecedented resource: a princess of the Last Era, recently released from cryostasis. In this diminished age, her knowledge and power are unmatched. So are her psychoses and power-hunger. When the quest for answers drives Dorsin, Tvorh, and their companions into the deepest wilds of Tellus and the blackest voids beyond it, they will learn the single terrible secret binding synapse to synapse, biomage to genophage, man to Chimera… Past to present. Land to sky. And prey to predator. Because while fractious bloodlines war across Tellus’s surface, the true threat glides unrecognized through the void of space… Heading straight toward Tellus. *** Synapsis is the second book of a biopunk science-fantasy epic inspired by the altered philosophies and weird technologies of Dune, the ever-present familial machinations present in Exalted's Scarlet Empire, and the endless conflict of Warhammer 40K. The first book, Genophage, may be found on Royal Road.
