Titans of the Current: Hands of God Edition

Part 3:1:1 Putting Knowledge Before Power

It's morning, sunrise at that... What the fuck is Etrius planning? It's too early in the morning! Can't the host of demons get sleep? Ah a familiar face! "Bell you look stunning this morning," what a pretty lie. Jet plane soon and dark hair only serve to highlight the bruises under her eyes.

"Fuck off, Ba-al! Not in the mood!" You don't say?

"You know your power is endless energy? Why are you so cranky? You don't need sleep!"

Her body is fatigued from the fight. I can tell from her energy. Normally it cascades from her plane slender body like a dress... Today it's a skirt. Time to diverge!

I let some skin peek of behind me and let it slither around the dim circular room.. There is only one cabinet in the center of the dining area we stand in. Slide around my child!

"So? How bout this weather... I mean.. Lack of weather." I just need to stall her.. Long enough to see..

"You know, I'm sorry Ba-al. You're trying to be nice and I have no right to act the way I am..."

"You lost me Bell. What the fuck are you saying?"

She steps towards me, swinging her hips. Good thing the gods left us. I'd be a marked soul. "What's the meaning of all this? "

She perks up and put her body against mine, "well of course silly, I have been working to hard. With all this energy built up... Maybe I need to exert out on someone."

What's happening to me? I feel warmth over take my body.. It feels . PAINFUL! Shit I'm on fire! She's grabbing my body and pulling me closer, I forgot she radiates plasma!

"Shit let go! Isn't this a little cold for a warm encounter Bell?" I could tell she was onto me.

"The only thing that will be warm is your body after I blow it to pieces! Remember that the next time you try to look up my legs you overgrown slug!" She storms off, leaving me in the dust. Or, my ashes, so to speak. Looking back, I suffered burns that let you aere inside me.. And I'm clearly missing a finger.. It'll grow back. Besides....

When I slapped her ass I consumed a portion of her energy. Until it fully charges, she'll be butt-ass naked. And she won't even look down. Haha!

Oh Luciere? What is this? I duck behind the counter. This form may be unattractive. But it has its uses. I compress down into the cabinet itself silently.. I release a single tendril from my body to open out the corner.

Holy shit? I didn't know Luciere ever removed her armor much less her clothes.. I didn't even think it was possible for her to remove her garments. But regardless she stands before me.. Sporting bra and panties with the detail of black and white flowers! Look at the fit!

Etrius must be a god amongst men in order for his mere presence to cause women to underdress! But wait..

Luciere doesn't sleep, and if she did she never took off her armor. What did this mean. Here comes Etrius! Stay down Ba-al!

He walks in wearing the same thing he wore when we first got him: nothing. He walks behind Luciere and clasps his hands around her shoulder... I may be a little rusty. But isn't that some telltale signs of-

Holy shit

Etrius takes his strong hands and grasps Luciere's waist. He pulls her legs around his own waiste as he carries her off back to his quarters.

Dafuck? I don't understand what I've seen today. Did the sun rise this morning, and I was somewhere else? How long did I sleep? Am I dead? What are my captives doing to my body while I am in induced slumber?

There must be an explanation! Luciere is not capable of cooperation between humans. Much less this.... I should... Just get to my spot before the meeting starts.

Looking at my watch I realize I'm up an hour early.

"Levy! Levy! You're gonna be late for your meeting! Get up sleepy head!" She's been sleeping later ever since she found out about Jack. I thought she'd be happy. How can she be? She had to listen to that creep Etrius... I don't care what the others say. I can tell Jack thinks he's bad news, and Jack is normally right about those kinds of things.

Levy. She looks scared, her forehead is red and glistening from sweat. Wait I can hear her. "Nelly.. Nelly"

"I'm right here, Levy!"

"Nelly!" She came up with a gasp... Another nightmare.. One of the leviathan.

I don't understand. If it makes her so strong, any is she always afraid of it? She should feel safe being so strong!

She's getting up!

"Hey! The others are waiting for you ! Your meeting starts now!"

"Shit! Thanks Nelly! "

I'm coming with her. I don't likes this place. I feel safer next to her. She quickly data down the hall.

Good grief! She didn't even put on a shirt.. She's just running in her jeans and bra! That's Levy though...

Always in a rush...
