The Five Kings: First Step

Hopian 84 - Scarred for Life

A/N: For anyone who actually wanted too see the horrid early stages of the cover- my bad for not posting it on time lol. But nonetheless- there it is as above as this chapters cover photo. Yes in case you couldn't tell by the 2 pixels on the screen, that's Karia, Seric, and King Metallica on Seric's "Best Friend". And this cover takes place before the most current events- and even before Amandeath as well.

They're also on a (ugly) ocean, and the green thing in the background is the pillar Vega (where people get Blessings from yadayada). Yeah lmao I'll see where it goes next though, thinking about adding a massive tidal wive in front of the boat in the cover as well but that's about it. Still don't know how I'll be able to turn something like this into a fullblown cover though lmao. But anywho- now for the hopefully better work of mine, the chapter!-

Last chapter, the quartet managed to teleport to the green haired doctors "lab" in one piece. After she stopped breathing Karia's heart transplant immediately begun- leaving Amandeath to her own means for a while until Metallic finally woke up. Although he couldn't move due to using his Emperor form and from Prósopsi's lightning strike on him- the robot was thrilled to discover that Karia should live after she went through two surgeries.

Seric's P.O.V.

"Huh- well well well, where do we go from here then sir?" I ask the giant, long necked, brown fur covered girl who's walking alongside me using her arms. Of course she's eight foot five and a half feet tall as well. Guess I should clarify, we're walking on a red brick road surrounded by a thick cool orange mist and a few twisted buildings.

"Noooot a clue... but do you? After all you're the one who's got a bunch on his platter hm? Poor kid... who's always been a burden. Always will be, yeah? Let the girl die, never fought back, poooor boy..." The girl says to me as the back of her fur covered neck extends itself right down to in front of my small face. That's not something you see today- or everyday I might suppose. 'Least I can't see her face though.

Anyways in slow motion the friendly girl's head starts to twist. Then suddenly, a tan colored blur smashes through the ground in front of me and engulfs my entire human-beast pal! I think it crushed her too, there's blood flying out from his fist now... awww... damn, I was just liki-

"Boy, what are you doing? Do you think you can afford to waste time like this?" A voice booms into me, causing me to get blown miles and miles away down across the soft road like a tumbleweed. I... wait...

"This is... that's Habram! N-no, all of this- this is all a dream right?! After all I woke up in the real world, then I got knocked out again I think... no. Shit- who knows what God can do here, what if I'm trapped aga-"

"Greetings, yes it is I, HABRAM. A good question... I will say that you are in fact dreaming right now, but who knows if I am real here? If I am... doubting my powers would certainly be a sin. Although, that would be suitable for your personality. Sounds like something I- or Habram would say hm? Maybe I can infiltrate your sleeping mind- alongside your concious mind of course. After all I did mark you, and in the end I'm certain that you remember what I told you back in nothingness, "I Am God"." Habram says to me as I continue to fly through the air, with me now skidding across the road- but being entirely unharmed.

"Shit he's right it would be... and if anyone doubts him- they go- they go to hell! F-fuck, shit shit shit this is really bad- huh?" I think to myself in panic as I suddenly stop flying as I bump into a soft surface behind me, it almost feels like a person.

Before I can scream I get flipped up onto my feet in slow motion as I stare down the infinite road in front of me. At the same time a smooth hand grips my hair, and another starts to carress my back.
