《MOLTEN》ch 11: Alleyway II
Advertisement
Everyone was surprised as Seth stopped charging up his powerful sigil, turned around and started talking to thin air.
But they were extremely glad, as they escaped with their lives... Gale who had just arrived at the scene quickly looked around the place, as if she was scanning the situation in an instant and sighed heavily... Gale: you just had to antagonize him, even after i told you to wait for me. While still on his knees, Killian answered in a pathetic voice... Killian: I thought you wanted to get all the credit for finding the descendant... I wanted to do my part as well. Gale: Idiot, i actually know him you could have spared yourself a lot of pain. Seth who was talking to Carla was still distraught from when she mentioned Gale... Carle: look its her behind you! It must be her! Seth: impossible (he said before turning around towards Gale) With Seth turning around Killian instantly lowered his head to the point of bashing it on the ground then started shacking ... Killian: please forgive me for my transgressions oh great descendant (he kept mumbling to himself) Gale: Hey Seth, its been years. Seth: It really is you, truly? Gale: Yeah well, we've all been through a lot...After the orphanage and all. Especially you. Seth then completely stopped moving and started looking at the ground for a while. He looked like he was reminiscing about better times, but instead of feeling happy he felt so much melancholy you could only describe it as having a hole in your heart... Carla: Seth, you... Before long Seth regained his composure and faced gale. "So what are you doing here" he asked her with a serious tone and he seemed to be completely fine, but deep inside he was forcing himself to look composed. Gale: well i was looking for you for a while now. Do u know how hard it was to actually track you down... I had to steal some classified documents from the capital to actually learn that you were still alive. But I've got to say i was very surprised to learn that you worked for the Shrine priestesses family as an agent... Seth: You didn't answer my question (He interrupted her suddenly) Gale:... Well i was getting to that, rude. To be honest we need your help; i am part of an organisation that has been hunted down for generations now and we need your strength to fightback. Seth: and what is this organisation? Gale: I... Can't tell you yet, but please we need you. Seth: I'm sorry but I'm very busy at the moment try some one else. Gale: Don't you want to find out what happened to the orphanage and the village? Why it was attacked and burned down? Seth: Why would you bring that up to me, you weren't even there when it happened! You left everyone with your father! Gale: I... I can't tell you why yet. But i promise if you come with me i will tell you everything... Seth: I... Carla who was listening in got closer to Seth as if to hug him. " Why don't you go with her and hear her out" she said near his ear with a tender and sad voice. Seth then turned towards Carla and seemed as if he wanted to say something then stopped himself, as he remembered what he promised Carla before... Gale:? Seth:I... (And before he finished what he wanted to say he faced Gale again) Seth: I'll go with you. Gales' face that was all serious a minute ago suddenly lit up... Gale: Oh thank you so much! I knew you would reconsider. Seth: You better keep your promise. All the people that attacked Seth and were kneeling for forgiveness were relieved as he seemed to be appeased for now. One after the other they started to get up. When Killian tried to do the same as well, Seth walked towards him and stopped right in front of him... Seth: I don't like this guy though. Carla: Yeah me neither. Killian started sweating buckets as he thought this was the end of the road for him... Gale: I apologize for my carelessness in handling my subordinates, i swear I'll make it right by you. Seth: alright I'll leave him to you. He then walked past the inspector and went into an alleyway where he was followed by some of Gales' subordinates for safety... Killian sighed a sigh of relief then got up and swiped the dust of his clothes then put back his skull necklace into his pocket. Afterwards he stood straight up and started looking at Gale with the same dignified and entitled look he had before meeting Seth... Killian: Gale thank you so much for your help without you we would have been wiped out. Gale: Yes, without me you would have caused the death of all our brother and sister believers under your care. Killian: Wait, wha... Gale: By my authority granted by the master grand bishop i strip you of your title and your command over the warrior believers in this area, brothers take him away. Killian: Wait! You can't do this, i am a bishop! The master will hear of this! My family will hear of this!!! (He said while being dragged away by two armed men) Gale: Now i can rest easier knowing i found an excuse to get rid of that Auschwitz, he was truly like a thorn at my side... Gale: All of you! (She shouted so that everyone there could hear her) You are all dismissed, go back to the home base, and grab the remains of your comrades while you leave. Right after she gave that command every man and woman grabbed the bodies and weapons of their fallen bretheren. And cleaned up the place to hide the evidence of a battle occuring there as much as possible... After they were done, everyone left from different routes. Gale: Well then, its time to leave this place...( She then turned around and followed where Seth went) ---Chapter End---

The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.

Sage Fall
Out of hiatus, but with a hitch. . Read most recent "chapter", Status Update, for more info. Trapped for thousands of years. Betrayed by the ones he held dear, the ones he called family. Finally set free by happenstance, Amrin sets out to find the ones that locked him in the heart of a mountain. Find the answers he's been asking himself while conscious within the darkness. The world has changed in his time away. Learning new things, meeting new people, struggling with questions he may never get the answers to. He will journey through this new world and search for the "family" that betrayed him and figure out why they did it. If they did not have the answers he was looking for, there would be consequences. *This is a VERY HEAVY story driven fiction (read: can be slow!). There are some sections of action, drama and soon/eventually, mature related content (sexuality and gore). There are going to be sections with lots of text and little dialogue. There's going to be sections with lots of dialogue and little descriptive narration. ***Word of warning and advice. To save yourself the potential disappointment! The MC is mostly a pacifist! If you're looking for a super OP protagonist that uses his powers to get what he wants and to hell with the consequences, this story IS NOT for you. There are times when it should be obvious why, other's it's only implied. Either way, if you are expecting "shoot first ask questions later" mentality from the MC, regardless of how powerful he is, save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere. I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all the readers and commenters of my story. It's all the positive feedback and comments that really give me the motivation to keep going. Honestly. It sounds cheesy, but it's true. So, again. Thank you!
