HOW TO MAKE A GOD

Chapter Eight - A Fine Line.

Geddon closed his eyes on instinct, he heard everything get quiet and opened them back up in curiosity.

He wasn't battling near the cabin anymore or in the fields. He looked in confusion as he seen a pool of lava coming down like a waterfall in front of him. In the distance he seen numerous mountains that had darken clouds and blue lightning around them. It was very dark but at the same time the lava and continuous lightning illuminated most of the area. There was only one star in the sky.

"What is this place? Where did everyone go?!" Geddon began to panic and waved his hands in the air.

"DID I DIE IS THIS MY AFTERLIFE"?!

Geddon stopped wailing his arms and pacing back and forth when he heard a booming sound. Out the pool of lava an enormous dark green Tortoise emerged from it, with diamond crystals all over his shell and legs.

"What the fuck is that a Tortoise, he's as big as a building?!" He thought to himself. He grabbed for his sword but realized that he doesn't even have it. 

"R...u...n...t...o...m...e..."

The area shook as the Tortoise slowly talked.

Behind Geddon a red Dragon with the head of an Owl emerged from the darkness. It was covered in what looks to be obsidian except for its head. It looked at Geddon with hungry bright yellow eyes.

"Your spirit, it smells so delicious."

Geddon didn't know what else to do but stand frozen. He felt fear of what he was looking at and having no weapon to defend himself.

Three other large creatures emerged from the darkness. As they walked towards Geddon he met with his flight or fight, with him choosing flight.

Without giving it more thought, Geddon ran to the Tortoise. It picked him up by its mouth and sunk back in the lava pool. Geddon watched in horror as it opened its mouth and lava started to pour in.

Geddon felt as though whatever this is, surely he had been defeated in battle and now this is his torment. Geddon stopped being frantic and accepted it. He sat on the Tortoise's tongue as the lava poured in its mouth and onto Geddon's body.

The horrific screams of Geddon Nova were muffled to the outside. The lava disintegrated his body, having the feeling of hitting his soul which he couldn't explain. 

"FUCK!" A familiar voice shouted. Geddon blinked and was pushed on the ground by Aim. Braun caught up to them and began to furiously punch Aim with a flurry of punches.

Two punches to the head, then three to his body, then the final one he focused on his arm of all places. Aim's arm slightly bent as he fell to the ground screaming.

"Bone Secret." Braun said watching Aim squirm and scream below him.

Geddon was confused at what all that happened. One moment he thought he had died and accepted an infinite loop of whatever atrocities that he had to go through in the afterlife, but now he was back into the fight and those minutes of terror were just mere seconds where he is now.

Aim got up and composed himself holding his arm, then snapping it back in place.

"You think this is enough?!" He screamed with a huff. Because of Geddon's lack of presence in the fight, Aim is badly wounded and his stamina is getting lower.

"For a peasant you surely show great endurance, you are different. A blank canvas that can be dyed Divine with the right environment." Braun said to Aim.

"That's my friend!" Geddon echoed in his head. "No, more than a friend, that's my BROTHER"!

He looked around him and seen nothing he can use. Nothing he could do would stop Braun.

in his head Geddon knew if he didn't do anything, his childhood friends including himself would die.

Even though Geddon knew he would be throwing himself potentially right in the face of death, he ran out to face Braun and assist Aim.
