《Thog: The barbarian》Chapter 3
Advertisement
Thog followed behind Tracy for a bit, usually Thog took the lead wherever they went, but Thog was preoccupied by his "Pets". Soon they arrived at a rather old inn, the inn was not in the best of shape, but it was the only one Thog was aloud in at the moment.
As they stepped inside, a short man, with a long white beard greeted the two with a big grin.
"By the blasted hells, Tracy and Thog! How blood sodding hells are you!" -Bearded short man
"Very well, it is nice to see you McLaughlin, I see our time away has not cured you of your cursed tongue." -Tracy
Tracy smiles at McLaughlin, the dwarf had a foul mouth, but was quite good company... Or at least the better of the company he had received of late.
"Ai, why don't you two gobshiets come in for a spell.... Or should I make that four?" -McLaughlin
The dwarf looks at Thog, who is hugging, and nuzzling the two frightened goblings. It would not be the first time Thog had brought some of his "Pets" into the inn, but as it wasn't rotting, bigger then the inn, or hideous enough to disembowel a man, he did not see a problem with it... This time.
"Thog found babies! Thog names this one Hobgob, and this one Gobgob!" -Thog
Thog showed off his new "Pets" to the dwarf, grinning hard enough one would not be surprised if his face cracked.
"Ai, quite an impressive haul ye got there lad!" -McLaughlin
Thog was all smiles once more, Tracy however could only sigh once more.
"If it would be alright, would you mind if I...." -Tracy
Just then, two smug looking men, barged in, nearly busting the door. They tried to push past Tracy and Thog. Tracy moved quickly out of the way, however Thog did not budge a singly centimeter.

"You big oaf! Move out of my way at once, before I have you, and this entire filthy establishment torn to the ground!" -Noisy human
The inn went quiet. RELY quiet, and a thick fog of fear swept over the inn. The regulars snuck out the back, and those new to the bar hurried into a corner, or under a table. Half the fear came from the newcomers who know of the human that barged into the inn, he was the son of the regent of the city, who often caused trouble and regularly had people killed. The other half was left behind from the regulars that knew what happened when Thog got angry.
Thog did not bother to look at what was screaming at him and continued to nuzzle the goblins in turn, which only furthered to anger the noble further.
"Look at me when I am talking to you, brute!" -Noble
Just then, Tracy paled and walked up to the noble, and bowed.
"Please don't let his manners offend you, right now Thog is preoccupied with his new pets, and probably doesn't notice you." -Tracy
The noble's guards paled. They had heard of Thog before, he had dragged many dragons, liche's, behemoths, and even a balor though town. Once a guard got brave enough to try and scold him about bringing a dangerous dragon into town, Thog simply looked sad, said "I guess Thog can't keep you here, Thog sorry" And tossed the dragon, by its tail, out of the city, and possibly even out of the country. They shivered when they thought of what would happen if he got angry.
"My... My lord, it may perhaps... Not be the best idea to antagonize this man..." -Noble's guard
"You dare tell me what to do! Humph, I will show this brute what happens when ignore a proud noble!" -Snobbish idiot noble

He approached Thog from the front, and smacked a goblin out of his hand.
"Let me tell you this Brute....." -Soon to be injured noble
Tracy grabbed the guards, and pulled them outside as quickly as he could, after all they did not do anything to deserve what was about to happen. The dwarf ran after them.
"I am going to owe you a lot, after this. Aren't I...." -Tracy
"Nah, I still have a few buildings left to use as an inn. Besides if he didn't do it, I would." -McLaughlin
Just then, the buildings all around shook, The earth cracked a bit, Windows shattered into a million pieces, a flood of running people out of the inn, and a massive roar the likes the nine hells themselves would run from surfaced.
"YOU HURT GOBGOB!" -Thog
Just then a rather battered noble, flew through a wall, into the arms of a quite frightened guard. The guard checked, and thankfully the noble was not dead, just... A bit broken.
"Huh, the city is quite a bit less... Broken as usual. Perhaps the sod eating drakshit is learning to hold back a little." -McLaughlin
The dwarf lets out a loud, merry laugh.
Tracy sighed, as if to expel his soul right out his mouth.
"Its a shame, this is him holding back.... Should we assess the damage?" -Tracy
"Lets!" -McLaughlin
The dwarf was all grins

Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.
