How The Soothsaying Started

Stay Away

"Adam," I cried, "Rose is in there! I heard her! I swear!" He nodded and we broke the lock and alone in the room was Rose. The walls were covered with blood and a small window was visible. How is it possible for a window to be here? We're over 10 leagues under the soil level? I let the thoughts escape me as I ran to Rose. She's wearing a white gown, stained with dirt and what I can only assume to be her blood, and it looked like it was tailored for her specifically. "Rose, please tell me you're alright!" I spoke with obvious concern, but she didn't even look at me, it was like we had just met all over again. She showed nothing,  no emotion or any sort of movement as I kneeled to try and get her attention, but then she screamed in a high-pitched voice, "GET AWAY FROM ME!!" She proceeded to kick me in the stomach and sent me to a world of pain and breathing was hard. Adam ran and covered her mouth to try and prevent anymore screams, but she didn't stop crying. "Don't touch me! No more please! Why are you doing this to me?!" Her eyes are even cloudier than usual, swollen and red. I staggered to my feet as fast as I could "Take your hands off of her Adam." I said in a calm voice, laced with determination. Adam quickly backed away as Rose began to hyperventilate. What in the Hell happened to her? I kneeled down so that we could see each other eye-to-eye, but her gaze kept darting away. I need to show her who I was, and that I'm not here to hurt her."Rose, it's me, Admin. I'm sorry, I accidently broke my promise...forgive me?"She looked at me, I could practically hear her thoughts. She gave a cold, dark glare and slumped in her bonds. I remove her and carry her. We found her, finally.

    Admin and Adam found themselves at the entrance again and Lily and Snow were fast asleep. Admin suggested while placing the unconscious Rose against the wall, "we should rest, it's been a challenge for you guys. You earn it." Admin would've happily agreed until an unknown assailant attacked. "Shit! Not now!" Admin yelled. Admin started to draw a demonic sword, but the assailant threw a knife and barely missed by an inch. Admin completed the sword and black flames appeared on his body and Admin let out a war cry and started hacking and slashing at the cloaked figure. "This is foolish!" The figure yelled. The figure drew a crimson red double bladed sword with a wine red cross guard and handle. "I guess I will personally kill you myself." The figure said cockily. Admin was giving it his all, and for the sake of Rose, he swore he wouldn't lose. The exchanged blows on each other, but only blocked by the other. "Know what!? Screw this!" The figure yelled and started to cast a spell, "Fac mecum in terram ante haedo!"Admin was thrown to the ground and his sword skittered away before going up in a puff of smoke. Adam just watched from the wall where he shouted encouragement. The attacker cracked a smile and raised his sword."Adam!" Admin was struggling against whatever magical bonds he was restrained in."Fine." Adam muttered with enough sarcasm only a 600-year old boy could muster.Adam grabbed his spear and started to take it out before the man restrained him with the same magical bonds. "Satan damnit!" "Adam! You're useless!" Admin complained while being stepped on."I could kill both of you," The figure said, "but torchering you will be even more fun!"The figure started to stab Admin in the right shoulder, covering the crimson red blade with rich dark, red blood. It continued to the left shoulder then to the legs."Stop! Stop please!" Admin begged wishing the pain would stop. His blood was hot and spilling off his legs very fast, and his vision was flickering. The mystery man suddenly turned his gaze to the weak Rose, leaning against the wall. The man's whole being changed, this was all for fun until he saw her, now he was angry."You think you can come in here and steal her from me?!" he screamed, teeth flaring. Admin turned to her, still asleep, somewhere else entirely. Then Admin smiled at her, because their she was safe, for now at least. But then he realized, this man said they are stealing her from him. Admin's eyes widened in fury and realization, words escaped through his gritted teeth. The man proceeded to stab Admin and said, "The two ladies over there are also pretty nice. I think I'll take them after I'm done with you." "Y...you...bastard." Admin stuttered. "Your friend over there is pretty stupid, carrying a spear in a corridor this small!""Coño a su madre!""Damn, kid's got a dirty tongue.""Almost as dirty as your father's morale!" The man leaned on the pommel of his sword, pushing it further into Admin's shoulder, threatening to cut off his arm. "Can you do something but make insults!"Adam looked around, then to Snow and Lily sleeping. "Vakna!" Lily and Snow awoke and looked at the scene in front of them. "Admin!" They yelled in unison. then looked and Adam casually dangling like a skinned animal on the wall. "Adam, you're the gatekeeper to Hell, and you can't get out of stupid magical bonds?" Lily asked the dangling gatekeeper. Adam shrugged and watched Snow brandish a knife. Lily sighed and did the same. The man, presumably Rose's torturer, pulled his sword slowly out of Admin's shoulder. He then released the pair of boys, with Adam ungracefully falling on his face. Some gatekeeper, am i rite?Kaza and Nicklaus rounded the corner and saw first, Adam recovering from his fall. Second, Lily and Snow brandishing their weapons. Third, Admin pushing himself away from a man with a crimson blade. And finally, Rose slumped against the wall. "Nick!" Kaza drew a silver sword. "On it!" Nicklaus threw the loot Kaza made him carry on the ground, his arms rejoiced at the loss of weight, and hurried to Admin and began to evaluate his injury. "Careful! Don't break anything Nick! That's worth a ton of money!" Kaza yelled angrily.Kaza, Snow, Lily, and Adam all stood together facing the torturer. Kaza was going to be the first to attack when a loud rumbling noise stopped her, and the man. To the left of the torturer, debris was blasted into the corridor where they were in. Through the wide and jagged hole came Fendrel, the girl who everyone had thought died in the tavern fire about a week before. "Fendrel!" Lily cried and ran to the girl. Instead of a tender embrace she got blasted back by some magic to her friends, where they caught her. "What is up with everyone using magic today? Pussies." Adam decided and proceeded to attack the man with nothing but his fists. "Lily, Snow! Get Fendrel, I've got a premonition she isn't the sweet little girl from before." Adam dodged the crimson blade from slicing off his obnoxious head. Somewhere around them, another rumble proceeded, stopping everyone in their tracks. From the ceiling came some hooded figures, again, also not very friendly. Nicklaus looked worriedly at Admin and gave him a pat on the back, then rushed to help with the free-for-all taking place. Adam's right hand became very orange where it should've been shadows. He slammed his fist into the man's stomach, then brought the man onto his back, where the torturer went through the floor. People stopped to see this display of power, and they all thought the same question, "Did he just take that man to Hell?" Adam made a show of cracking his knuckles, and joined Nicklaus in fighting the hooded figures.
