Multiversal Swarm

Kingdom of dirt part 2

Sometimes when I get to a universe I have to lie about who I am. There's also the universes where I don't. I LOVE THESE UNIVERSES. I don't have to pretend. I can sit back and relax. In this case drink.

These guys love the good stuff. I found out what I was drinking would not qualify as beer.... But moonshine. It was a social system built around alcohol. The social heirarchy built on who could drink the most.

I learned this from the king himself. He was able to drink for four days and finally was cutoff by law because he dozed off at the competition table for more then 5 minutes.

He was someone I was happy to meet. A friendly man who was eager to help as many people with his power as possible. He even accepted my lack of details of where I came from.

"You don't know your origin, or why you're here." He said giving me a look where I knew he was reading my mind.

"How old are you? How many universes have you been too?" The question stung like fire. I leaned forward while I finished my drink in one go.

"I don't remember the number exactly. Probably somewhere in the 100,000 range." I lied....

"You seem personable now that you're not dodging the blades and fists of my son's." That was an interesting tidbit.

"Those two were you're son's?" I said sitting back.

"Don't worry about retaliation. Combat is an honor here! It may be brutal but we never will fight to kill our own." He said cheerfully.

"Our own?"

He gave me a smile and another point.

"I like you alot boy! You're too smart for your own good! We have enemies. Want to take a guess at what we're fighting over?" He said leaning towards me.

"Druk" which is their word for alcohol.

"Correct boy. If you have the strength for a toe to toe with both my son's then-" he was cut off by a woman in golden armor and a helmet that had wings made of silver spreading aross the top.

She took off the helmet and she was a beautiful woman for sure. Long blonde hair with blue eyes and soft features but here eyes gave a look like she meant business while keeping the soft touch. Then she spoke.

"Preparations are complete. The festival begins tonight." Two sentences that could both go either way in this universe. The

The king erupted into cheers springing to his feet! He held his hands high and shouted to the whole room.

"My men and woman of this great kingdom! The preparations are complete! Tonight! We! PARTY!" The room went ballistic!

Music started playing from a band on a balcony. I soon found out why because the whole room became a fucking frat party before I could get to the highest point in the room! It was a mix of drinking and dancing, with drinking and fighting.

I moved for the giant door and even hand to throw a few punches to not get hit myself. After I pushed past the crowd I saw the kingdom in it's entirety. It was beautiful!

The horizon was a bright yellow and it was illuminating the stonework buildings and big wooden house's. They were very well built. The town plaza was full with shops and people. I could see stuff happening on the other streets. But I couldn't see past the buildings.

I was yanked from my awe by a hand on my shoulder. Another hand on my other shoulder too.

"So you're a good fighter eh? You're partying with me and my bro tonight then!" The voice belonged to shirtless dude.

They both stepped in front of me and the two of them had smiles across their faces. They introduced themselves. Shirtless was soki and not shirtless was Mori. They both gestured to the festival and they jumped away at high speeds. This universe really is the best.

The three of us jumped through the town and I could tell they were giving me a tour. They cheered and greeted people as we flew from building to building. The town was filled with sights and Attractions. The colors were incredible every color was out there. Everyone was drinking and dancing.

We came to a stop at a tent that had barrels of druk. They cracked the lid off and magicianed three huge mugs out of nowhere. They must know magic! Mori handed me one as he dunked his into the barrel. This is a good chance to get more information.

Lucky for me that exactly what I got. Their enemies are the "Chatarians". This kingdom is the kingdom of lavanier. The Chatarians are a brutal group by how they described them. They prosper by trail by combat alone. They are fewer in number but they are ridiculously strong. Normally it takes around ten men to kill them but the stronger lavanierions can match them in combat.

This place is fun but this universe is about to get serious. They intend to strike with all manpower possible to the heart land of Chataria. They are at the end of a war and are willing to end it. However that means if they can't kill every Chatarian then the war isn't over.

I have my doubts but until I see proof I have to assume some things are exaggerated. After a few hours the sun had gone down and we'd drank all 5 barrel's. They both decided they wanted to spar and I decided I'd go look around and find out what the town was really like. We went our separate ways.

As I turned something fell out of my pocket. It was a note. The one that girl gave to me. I picked it up and flipped it open. In nice handwriting the note said.

"Small purple tent east side of town.
Next to the building with the giant battleaxe. Can't miss it from the rooftop."

I read the note and the girls face popped into my head. Short dark hair and big brown eyes. She had a scar across her cheek that went up to just under her eye. I thought she was attractive when she gave me the drink.

I jumped from building to building until I got to a high rooftop on the Eastside of town. After I found out which way was north from a friendly old man.

I scanned the are until I found a building with a giant battleaxe drawn on the front of it in paint. Next to it was an alley that ended in a not so small purple tent. I checked the note and it said small. However I looked around and saw tents that were massive so I guess it works.

I jumped to the alleyway and walked down to the tent. The flap of the tent moved and the woman immerged. I wish I could say what she was wearing because she wasn't wearing anything.

I opened my mouth to speak but she was all of a sudden clasping her finger against my lips.

"No words... Just come in" she said taking my hand and pulling me into the tent.

This universe is the fucking best
