《Unknown Past》Volume 1 Chapter 5: The Illusion of Trust, Part 12: Chates' Perspective
Advertisement
Power. Unimaginable power. Power to change New Vegas. Perhaps even the world! Power within my grasp!
For the first time in my life, I am in flight, soaring on wings of rhime. Descending from Heaven to punish those who have made this once fair city Hell! At a speed matching that of a rocket, I rush into the side of the rich men's complex. I hear them scream, then a few of them cough, trying to wave away the dust. As soon as the debris clears, they all look at me with fear in their eyes.
"You scumbag riffraff!" Dives yells. "What is the meaning of this!?"
I walk closer to him. As I pass by some of the other rich men, their rhime gets absorbed into me, causing them to drop to the floor in a comatose state.
"Stay back! Stay back, you monster!"
He hurls porcelain tea set pieces at me. A waste of money that could have gone to countless poor who are starving on the streets! He begins to back away from me and towards the wall opposite me. I touch the table in my way and it turns to dust.
"V-v-v-very well then! Electric Drive: !!!!"
He throws a ball of electricity directly at me, which explodes on contact.
"Take THAT!!!"
As soon as he says this, the rhime from the ball gets absorbed directly into my body. When the rhime is completely absorbed, Dives stares me, dumbfounded.
"That's...that's impossible!!"
I continue to slowly walk towards him.
"Waitwaitwait! You want money? I can give you money! Weapons! Drugs! Whatever you want! Please, fine, I give up! We'll change the system! Spread the wealth! Anything you want! But spare me! Please!"
I finally catch up to him and grab him by the neck. I make sure not to absorb his rhime so that he is conscious through the entire ordeal.

"You had your chance. For years, you tormented us. Made the system Hell on Earth."
I begin to squeeze tighter.
"You even sacrificed innocent lives long before you became wealthy."
Tighter. Tighter.
"And now you beg for your life!?"
I pull him closer to me.
"Let me tell you something," I hiss into his ear, "your life is fucking worthless."
And with that, I set his whole body on fire. His screams of agony are music to my ears! Finally, to see the man that made my lady suffer, made everyone suffer, is now suffering a thousand-fold in his final moments! This power! I see what he's desired, but unlike him, I can do anything! Anything for me and my brother! The world is our oyster! I am unmatched! Power! POWER!!! P....!!!!!!!!!
"URK!!!"
(What?...What was that? I was like...I lost myself for a second.)
As I ponder what the sensation was, I hear ringing in my ears. Ringing that...seems to be getting louder. Ringing...Ringing!...RINGING!!!!
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Everything around me is becoming a blur! Rhime! I need rhime! I need to consume rhime! Wait! Why do I need to consume rhime!? The world around me is beginning to changing color! Colors dancing everywhere! It's rhime! My rhime! All my rhime! This isn't my doing! What's going on!?
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Of Life and Light
Home. By definition, such a word means "A place where one lives", but what happens when one is removed from their home by those with greater authority? One would seek out another place to live, of course. Karastak, a Devil King and a Fallen God of a world called Terra, was removed from his world by something greater than himself, and has journeyed to the world of Azzarath by way of Azazel, God King of the Azzarathean Pantheon. Perhaps she performed thusly through pity, charity, or a simple act of kindness with no strings attached. Regardless, he is deposited near a village upon a mountainous range within the world. There, he meets up with his Human family, a grizzled old Templar, a shy Cleric, and an apathetic Mage, that came to take him away from his troubles, but he does not budge. That is, until one of his servants speaks of finding a new home. However, perhaps instead of finding a home, he finds adventure instead? The story within is a Frame Story, which means it is a story within another story. In that this one is being told by three personages, a God King called the Ageless, a Lich King called Brutus, and a Goddess named Sarah. Each of them speaks of the Ageless's past self, one called Karastak, as he journeys onwards throughout the worlds within the Azzarathean Pantheon in search of something more. Special thanks to Ms. Brown from http://www.offbeatworlds.com/ for the cover.
