Tainted Hearts

It Gazes Back

Noche stood, filled with confidence. The spirit would want him to move forward, and Noche would surely grant his final wish, although it was unspoken. He was sure of it.

...

"How am I supposed to find them?"

Yeah, okay, maybe a bit too confident. But positive thinking, he'd succeed. He just had to keep moving.

"This isn't gonna work..."

"Guh."

"AAHHH!!"

Noche & The Alpha were walking down a pathway in the forest. The demon thought earlier, The Alpha rejected his offer to come along back in the void. So why now he decided to come along?

But it wasn't like he'd get anything by asking the werewolf, he'd reply with his... odd language.

Although, Noche could theorize the main reason The Alpha joined his hunt; he could help tracking off Shattered and his group, which were scattered across the continent after being launched off. At least, Noche could use some company.

Their first target was the former caretaker of Noche, Gazer. Out of the four, Gazer was the one Noche didn't want to eliminate, since he used to be his father figure. But still, he possessed a threat to Denny. He must kill him, like it or not.

"So..."

The Alpha didn't reply, he kept on sniffing, leading them to their target.

"Do you like rendang?"

"Guh."

"It's a food."

"Guh yuh."

A pathetic attempt to start a conversation with a being that didn't speak logical language.

"... Hey, did you successfully tamed that one deformed Dunkleosteus? I didn't get to see it since... you know."

Back at the Paleozoic Era. Noche and The Alpha were both stranded in the vast ocean of earth's ancient time. They encountered an odd looking dunkleosteus charging at them. The Alpha rode it like it was a rodeo while Noche was holding on to his dear life. Unfortunately it didn't last long as The Alpha accidentally used his power, causing a massive explosion. It created a tsunami in the process, carrying Noche in its gigantic waves.

"Guh guh yuh guh."

"I can understand that very well."

"Yuh."

The two stopped at an open area, The Alpha sniffed several times before turning back to face Noche.

"What."

"..."

The Alpha only stared, it was unnerving. His white shining pupils pierced through Noche, like a predator ready to pounce upon its prey.

The Alpha gestured Noche to look behind him.

"He's right behind me, isn't he?"

The Alpha nodded.

"Fuck yo—"

The demon couldn't finish as he was suddenly launched off by an explosion. The Alpha only looked at the demon in the air before turning to the perpetrator.
