Walkers: An adventurous tale

Chapter 6: We meet a nasty enemy

“So...that was a dangerous and destructive force of deather in the aether.” Chris said. I laughed a bit but shivered at the thought of how angry and uncontrollable I was. “Yeah...thats going to have to be mastered and put under control.” I replied. “Yeah man, you looked like...well its kind of what a werewolf looks like, roughly speaking...you had that purple cloak of power surrounding you and you had a semi-thick strand of it coming off your ass like a tail, you had an outline of sharp ears and your eyes glowed a violent shade of gold...its almost like there were golden flames in your iris’s.” Chris said. “Yeah, the power extended off of my fingers at will and made some sort of claw-like beams too.” I added. We sat around and admired the power I had unlocked. “You were pretty terrifying too, I bet you hadn’t even gone all out!” Chris exclaimed. I nodded in agreement. “They were pretty squishy on terms of enemies so I used about ten percent power... I didn’t even need that much, it was difficult to control...it fluctuated a lot between around ten and twenty percent and even then it was hard to suppress.” I replied. A few minutes later the entire area was cleaned up. When Megan came down to talk to us, she casted an unusually large shadow. I realized immediately that something was hiding in it, probably a malevolent spirit or a minor demon. We glared at it,except for Megan, she just stared in confusion. “Seriously? I just can’t catch a break today.” I stated. After my complaint a man emerged from the shadow, slowly sliding upwards until he came to light. He clapped slowly like some sort of stereotypical villain. He stood around six feet tall with dark black eyes and hair as white as a ghost. He had a dark and extremely cold aura about him. It gave me a shiver up my spine as I felt immense power radiate from him.

    “So, you kids have proven to be entertaining...you’ve defeated all the obstacles I’ve set up for you so far; You may be worthy of being my rival when you get your full strength back.” He stated lazily. He looked pretty normal, he had a medium build and a brilliant white smile with perfect teeth. His stare pierced me like a knife. “Who are you and what do we have the pleasure of making your acquaintance for?” I asked politely. I smiled a bit in hopes to keep him in a good mood. He was at an impossible level even if I went full power in my primal form. “My name, boy, is Laciel. I’ve been setting all this trouble up for you.” Laciel explained. My eyes widened slightly, as did Chris and Megans. “Yeah, I even sicced Zazael on you, if thats what your wondering.” Laciel stated lazily. He chuckled a bit. “That was a fun battle to watch, your at a pretty decent level of power.” He said casually. I felt my anger building up to the point of bursting. My primal side really wanted to destroy him, but that was an irrational and ridiculous impulse. “Oh come now, I don’t feel like playing with you all that much so why don’t you calm down? Control your temper, mutt.” He said coldly. That last mutt comment stung a bit more than it should have. “Well anyway, I came here to start you off on your adventure, I’ll be in some fortress or castle of some sorts in a far away land and if you feel up to it, you can come after me; Ah, yes before I forget, I’ll be slaughtering things with an army of monsters in the mean time so...yeah, army of darkness, civilians being tortured and killed, evil laughter, possibly a hairless Hellcat to sit in my lap...the works.” Laciel said casually. “You forgot the eyepatch.” Chris said sarcastically. “Oh hey, you’re right! that sounds like a fun addition to my look!” Laciel exclaimed gleefully. “Chris, you’re not helping!” I scolded. Chris remembered the situation and regained a serious look. “I’ll give you more evil things to play with along the way too, you might even get something upon request, IF I feel it’ll make things more interesting...emphasis on the ‘if’ part.” Laciel explained. “Oh boy! fighting!” Chris exclaimed gleefully. I buried my face in my hands for a split second and regained my focus.

    “Oh hey, here, since I’m done telling you about my evil schemes and stuff, you can have this parting gift for being so polite and listening.” Laciel said. He snapped and a large muscular...thing...with three eyes appeared suddenly. This beast was like a giant but looked much faster and it’s fist was twice the size of my head instead of quadruple.  He wore armor and had a large sword. “Have fun, kids!” Laciel said as he suddenly grew large black angel wings and soared into the sky. “I am a mountain god-” The creature started. “Yeah, alright whatever lets just get to the fun now okay? I’m still fired up from the last guys we smashed!” Chris said. “You mean...the guys that Devin ripped apart?” Megan chimed in. Chris ignored her and started shooting fire balls from his hands rapidly that exploded on impact. The mountain god didn’t flinch. I could feel the power inside me waiting to be set free. I planned on using this guy to train myself to control my primal form. I balled up my fists and let the same amount of power out as I had just done previously. “Okay buddy, I’ll just kick things off for you.” I said. I quickly darted between its legs and jumped up to kick him in the back of the head. He created a large boulder out of thin air to block and I ended up smashing it to bits. I sensed Megan blasting him with all sorts of attacks...flames, ice, electricity, acid, arcane...nothing seemed to work. “Suppose you’re immune to ranged attacks so...I’ll just let the boys handle this.” Megan said. Chris laughed as he unleashed his swords and began to cut at the god. He bled mud but didn’t waver as he took the blows. He only retaliated by swinging his sword quickly at Chris which Chris couldn’t have possibly countered but...somehow, he managed. Chris let his power really explode and that kicked up a bit of wind. “Yeah! I’m loving this guy he’s fun!” Chris said. He relentlessly traded blows with the mountain god but I realized he was just playing around. He was enjoying himself too much.
