Heart of the Pyramid

chapter 14 - reunion

Harold grabbed Jin's collar and flew up in the sky. He somehow got hold of Shii's corpse before getting snatched by Harold. A small red human sized bubble was floating in the sky. Harold turned to look at Jin and said, "hey sorry, I know you are a monk and you probably know how to fly but to do that you have to spend some of your precious Qi and I really don't want you to waste it, you're gonna need it boy."

Jin looked at him with a bored face and rolled his eyes, I just wanna be done with all this world saving bullshit and fuck some whores in the mountains, those mountain whores are awesome, he thought.

Harold came to a stop right in front of the bubble structure and said, "this is my transport, it's filled with blood tubes which means I can have my fucking damn tasty juice wherever I go, and you my friend get to have a hamburger but only on one condition."

Jin looked apprehensively at Harold and said, "what???? look I am hungry ok, gimme some freaking food for buddha's sake!!!"

Harold laughed and said, "just tell me your story monk, that's all, and who that girl is, the journey can get boring without anything cool going on so why not a story? so whadda think boy?"

Jin thought for a moment and suddenly went into a cross legged shaolin meditative trance and said, "yes why not gunslinger?"

Harold screamed with joy and threw him in the bubblecraft.

Zhan and FhiFhi were drinking some Ginseng tea together. They were trying to figure out what to do next. The chest had a blue sphere like device and no gold. He was stirring the tea with a small spoon when suddenly Fhi brought out the corpse of the cat and squeezed some more blood into her teacup, hmm now it tastes better, she thought.

She looked at Zhan and rushed at him and started shaking him by the collar, "you know what this thing is don't you? tell me asshole!! pleeease!! I can see it in your eyes!!! you know what this is but you are not telling me!!"

Zhan slapped her and she hit the wall. She was furious, "asshole, don't make me eat you!!!" She got up to her feet and walked towards him, she then knelt beside him, hugged him and touched his face, "You are burning with guilt, aren't you?...I can understand, I am not a heartless ghoul you know," she looked up to face him and gave him a cute kiss.

He stood up immediately and said, "that's a Ball of Sin, it...it makes you face your fears.....I...I don't know what to do..." He went over to FhiFhi and held her hand close to his chest and said, "I...I have lied to my friend....I was mad with jealousy, I didn't want him to forget me because of a half-dead girl. I am so sorry...I am so sorry."

She squeezed his cheeks a bit and said, "hey look, you fucked up right? now it's your chance to ask him for forgiveness and make everything right bruh."

Zhan grabbed her face and kissed her cheeks and said, "Thanks ghoul girl, you have opened my eyes, you are right, no matter what, I must face my fears and prepare for everything."

FhiFhi then stood up and did a total loli cute anime kinda pose and said, "where's my gift for opening your eyes?"

Zhan gave a smile and brought out a shuriken from his pocket and said, "would you like another cat-snack darling?"

She jumped to her feet and said, "Yes pleeeeease!!!!"

Harold brought a cup of tea for Jin, it was an odd little house, very damp,cold and dark, it was also very windy. The house was in the middle of a dense forest. Jin was wrapped in a warm blanket. harold had kept Shii's corpse in the freezer to prevent further decomposition.
