Titans of the Current: Hands of God Edition

Part 6:1:2

A man walks up to me and the Sage.. "What are you?"

Hugh looks down to the man, "here to sell drinks! But allow me to converse with this young child first.

The man hoplessly gives up and walks out of the snow covered road into a nearby tavern.

" alright Nelly! Ask away? "

"What the fuck are you?"

"I am Hugh Gordon Lloyd: the Sage of Spirits! It is my job to hold all the lost Spirits from the squall. After the divine forces left, there was nowhere for Spirits of the departed to go. I hold onto them until we can reestablish the balance of nature... Now move along I am quite busy setting up my new shop."

"But I need to find-"

"The dark soul... Yes I know.. But I'm not the Sage that can tell you. She is in the tavern.... She will know."

"I'm sorry about my ship."

"Don't be, I could've flown here without it... The crash is the fun part."

I have never been happier to leave anyone in my life.

The tavern is practically full. Cu-sith left me with a lot to think about.. Priest of Alrach? Endgames? Who really runs IAC?

"You know you need to worry about yourself for once."

I look behind me to a surprising sight. A beautiful woman walks towards me and sits at the stool next to me.

"Let me guess... Your a Sage to huh?"

"Yep.. Names Evie, I'm the safe of life. Drinks are on me tonight."

I don't argue, I just recieved a mug from the bartender and hold it up.

Lighting fills the sky beautifully... I must say, Luciere can strike beauty into even the darkest of days. A storm of lighting and stone raze the landscape. Such a day should be documented.

" what are you looking at slug? "

Ah I forgot my adversaries. The deal: I get an all you can eat gogori dinner, and Luciere hints down Tamiel.... What a beautiful concept!

The gogori are highly advanced in weapons. They specialize in weapons manufacturing... They must have been preparing for a war.

Handguns that can craterize buildings. Arm mounted rockets that diverge into 150 minature missiles. Evidence of their progress is seen from the rubble of stone that used to be mountains above us.

As. I kept my word, I have eliminated almost all the gogori ranks. The taste is heavenly. It took me the better part of eight hours to get this far... She was right.. They were ferocious warriors.

All that remained were the lieutenants and the last rank of angels. It's time.

I see the first rocket flash for me. I rush to the base of the mountain the guard. I see the wall of fire consume everything behind me. Bullets that could stop a meteor pelt the snow around me. I take a mighty leap at the first trench.

I find myself inside out to clasp the first gogori with ease. As she bleeds and screams, I feel jet dissolve into one of the many portals that lead to the pocket dimension inside me. Two more approach me from the side. I regurgitate a gun into my body to pair with the one I just took from the gogori.

I direct both guns through my arms as I fire the powerful rounds through the fallen angels. Both were pulverized my the concussive shots.

Another attempts to skewer me on an energy sword. A nimbly jump over her while extending teeth from my arm to use as a device of mutilation.
