part one; the neverending fog..

"Die!.. Die.. die.. die die die!!"

The Avenger laughed manically, as she slashed the last remaining solider into bits. After doing so, she somewhat regained her senses, finally looking around her surroundings. She was in a strange forest with huge trees.. the fog was thick, and it was cold.

"This place never ends, does it.."

The Avenger uttered, and stood uo from the solider's corpse, feeling a sharp pain in her side. She had massacred the group of unsuspecting soliders, but got an injury herself. It was minor, but a nuisance nontheless.

After cleaning and wrapping the wound in bandage, Alter put her armor back on, strapping the leather that held it in place. Before, yet again, starting to wander the seemingly endless forest..

It had been,, seemingly days, months, maybe? The time flowes diffrently in that damned place, so Alter lost track of it soon..

The path she took was the same, every now and then she would see a deer or some sign with a strange message, but what never changed, was the feeling she was being watched by,, something.

"This place is fucking creepy.. The goddamn deer too, they're so weird.. Last time I checked, they aren't supposed to stand on their hind feet and stare at you.."

She mumbled, and continued her walk.. but, she stopped dead in her tracks once she saw the damned dear in the middle of the road, staring at her with its big, dead and cold eyes. She growled quietly, and drew her sword.

"I've fucking had it with you! You know damn well what you are doing! You have TEN seconds to get lost, or you're done!"

Alter threatened, her voice filled with frustration.. the deer, however, stood up on it's two back legs, and it's body began to contort, and it transformed into a twisted amolgamation of tangled body parts right before her eyes..

"Wha--"

Before she knew it, it ran at her, and knocked her back. Alter was in her back, and the creature pounced, aiming to bite her neck and presumably kill her.. but, she managed to  put her sword up, and block the creature from getting too close.. it was,, horrifyingly strong, and heavy.. but, Alter was able to push back, and sewer the creature's skull in half, the top flying off as it rolled off and screeched in pain.

"Son of a bitch!"

Alter jumped up, and punted the top part of the monster's skull away, before taking off, deciding to run instead of face the monster on her own.. However, it healed fast, and began to chase.

Alter ran for a few hundred meters before the amolgamation caught up.. She was smacked into the ground once again, which left a dent in her armor.. however, the creature began to claw at her, cutting several deep wounds on Alter's side, thigh and chest. She would groan, and her eyes glew yellow..

"Die! You freak!"

As suddenly as it pounced, the creature fell back in pain, rolling and screeching as a black flame began to burn it from inside out.. Alter pushed herself up, and began to limo towards the creature, giving it a hard kick, as a sort of personal punishment, before, once again, starting to walk..

"God, these fucking hurt.. I need to set up camp, or something.."

And with that, she continued her walk, until she found a suitable spot near a river, which followed the path, infinitely stretching into the fog with it.. Alter took her time to patch her wounds up, and for oncez decided to eat some of her rations.. she sat, and watched the river, thinking of what to do next, all while eating a can of soup.. The silence was only so often broken by the cracking of her fireplace..

"This was supposed to be a simple singularity... Ugh,, this is a mess.."

Alter muttered to herself, and leaned back against a tree. She would drink the rest of her soup throughout the night, but her too had her limits.. She woke up the next morning, the fire out, and a gentle breeze picking up.

"Shit.."

She muttered to herself, and stood up, despite the pain from her still fresh wounds.. she would take her bag, and began to walk yet again..

Hours later,, Alter came across something that she did not expect.. a deer skull.. and some other bones next to it.. She sighed, and just crushed the skull, before continuing her walk.

"It's getting colder and colder.. I lost quite a bit of blood, but not even communications work.. I have to solove this bullshit alone.."

And so, the Alter's adventure continued rather smoothly, until..

Alter stepped back, as a arrow flew past her face. Her eyes widened, and she looked at the direction it was fired from.. There stood a familiar figure, its face covered, but its presence undeniable..

"S- shit..."

Alter said, and the figure fired again.. The rate of fire was almost too much for even Alter to avoid, so, she had to make a move.. drawing her sword, she dashed towards the tall figure, dodging as many arrows as she could.. she leaped at the figure, preparing to pierce its heart with her sword;

"Stand down!--"

Just then, her leg was grabbed, and the figure slammed her through several trees, causing a loud crack in her back..

Alter, slowly but surely, pushed herself back up, and went to attack again, managing to land a slash on the corrupt figure.. but, it hit her back twice as hard, punching her in the stomach hard, making her cough up blood from the sheer force..

However, Alter got back to her feet a few moments later, panting heavily.. she looked at the figure, and it charged up another shot of its bow, this time, infusing it with mana..

"Wait... Wait..."

Alter said to herself as more mana was infused into the arrow.. and just as the figure fired, Alter dashed at it..

"Now!"

Time seemed to slow down.. the mana had way more energy than Alter anticipated... But, she grabbed it,, its sheer speed causing damage to her hand.. however, she spun around midair, stabbing it into the figure's arm just before it exploded..

They were both sent flying back, and the smoke made them invisible to eachother..

"Ugh.."

Alter's vision was blurry.. she was feeling like all of her strength was drained from her body.. but, her moment of unsettling peace was interuoted by several arrows piercing her body - her shoulder, side, hip, thigh and stomach..

She cried out in pain, but managed to push herself back up..

"Y- you... Are done for.."

Alter muttered, and took her sword.. she raised it in the air, just as the figure was about to enter meele combat.. this would be the end of her..

As the figure of corrupt Heracles appeared before her, time seemed to slow down again.. she put all her mana into a single attack,, her Noble Phantasm.. she did not even have the strength to chant it..

Chains wrapped around the corrupt hero, holding him in place..

Several spears impaled his heart, making him roar in pain..

Alter knew well about his ability, so, she had to put even more effort into the curses, which, managed to take out the hero..

From his now lifeless body dripped black blood, and Avenger sensed the holy grail was within.. she plunged her hand into his chest, and ripped the homy grail out.. However, it began to burn her hand at contact.. However, she stored it away, and looked at the sky, which began to,, collapse?..

A rayshift finally opened, and Alter stepped through..

                
                                        -    The end.
