'In a sense, I guess I knew... but now there's no point thinking it. Sigh... finding a boy beneath an Obelisk tree who happens to be in a scary dream, just what was I thinking enslaving that wretch.. now, now everybody is going to die. The guards, slaves and... me. what a wretched way to go.'
The sky shimmered with fiery red dots that danced in a strange pattern, forming the outline of an odious creatures that danced silently. They all appeared so hazy, yet... they were more real than anything that dwelt upon the earth.
A most dreadful atmosphere had settled upon the lands as more and more fiery red dots appeared out from within the deep darkness, dancing high in the lightless heavens... solemnly so. They outlined themselves so greatly that... it seemed too good to be true.
Beneath the carriage he had held his breath.
'..its the... same...'
He couldn't tremble, move much less breath. Like a frozen bird, the terror had left him so rigid and tense, a corpse looked more alive than him.
Sergio, Roman Lucian, Falsus and the slave they had been abusing, had already went pale from the silent dread radiating from the heavens. Their profane act, shut down leaving them comical, but that was the least of their worries as they sensed a change within the dreadful silence. This sudden change felt so profane that their hearts fell deep within their beings, fear terrorizing their wicked minds relentlessly.
The tense atmosphere, its most dreadful silence that paired with the eerie fiery red dots dancing high within the heavens, were too great of a burden for Roman Lucian's mental faculties.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
A wild screech permeated the silence, stunning the fear conscious people. Marvel painted their ashen faces, Roman Lucian loud screeching changed the current state of things as he ran off, half naked, towards the dense forest.
The fiery red dots that had danced solemnly within the high heavens, began to coalesce, grating sounds and louds screams shook the earth in their formation. Sleeping creatures, died of shock, plants mutated into grotesque organs as the horror stricken slaves, one by one began to suffer adverse effects from the inhuman unnatural cry.
They coalesced into a tall figure over two meters tall. Having no definite form except of the fiery red glow outlining their human-like figure. Two red hot scimitars blazed quietly bringing a looming sense of dread.
"...why...O....greats?!!.... "
Falsus muttered, his ashen expression marred with crystalline tears.
Glowing hot magma fell from the heavens, consuming the terror-driven Roman Lucian,
'HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT!-'
His armor melted profusely, encapsulating his person within the molten liquid as a red hot scimitar vertically bisected what remained of him, but, the scimitar didn't stop its travel as it cut deep into the earth, excessively burning the ground to molten magma.
Such was the end of Roman Lucian.
Fiery red flames raged behind the back of the strange creature as the molten magma that had been formed glowed ominously. The creature took slow, languid steps approaching the two half naked fellows. Its red hot scimitars burning solemnly, as those who witnessed the actions performed by the fiery outline, shook them.
Various emotions burned within their hearts such that they couldn't bear it. Their brother had been murdered before their very eyes, dying in the most gruesome and painful manner possible, yet... they couldn't do nothing against it. Before their very eyes, they had lost a precious comrade. Anger flashed throughout their beings, rage burned within their souls, but... the terror, the terror induced by the strange creature and its two scimitars was too dense to be overridden by the weak emotions enforced by the likes of Sergio and Falsus, so they quickly got rid of any actions that would led to their quick death and remained as they were.
The young slave girl who had seen her oppressor die so gruesomely couldn't help but shudder in terror.
'...its... g... gonna be my... turn..'
She thought, time slipping faster as each step towards them sounded like death, then a strange thought entered her being. Not wanting to die, she quickly executed it, hoping for the best.
She bowed down hoping for the best.
The towering outline raised its two scimitars and diagonally brought them down slowly, this simple action bisected the very winds including the two remaining brothers.
FWOSHHHH!!!
Torrid flames burst out from the bisected objects as they roared wildly burning whatever was cut by the ominous red hot scimitars
"AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
The golden-orange torrid flames that had burst from within their bisected corpses, consumed them alive, flesh and all. They screamed bitterly, their voices filled with great anguish as they writhed about trying to snuff out the golden-orange flames, misery painting what remained of their faces.
Juon had simply watched the torment of his subordinates, his ashen face slick with cold sweat. The guards who had seen what had befallen the three brothers, remained traumatized, their thoughts drifting from,
'is this how we die...'
They couldn't bear the weight that death had come for them... that this was the end for them. Their dreams, hopes, worries, pains.. all of it... all of it was going to end, now, with their deaths. Not one of them had thought today was going to be their d-day, but, regardless of what they thought... they were going to die, today.
The tremendous heat from those golden-orange flames formed glowing pools of magma. Hidden beneath the carriage, the former Telemenphen prince, trembled greatly as the tremendous heat radiating from the magma pools, revitalized the recent fear he had acquired within the lands of the dead. His eyes widened in shock as a fluid leaked from his nether regions. Cold sweat dripping from his gaunt body, as his hands quivered in fear.
'....no....'
He didn't want to die... he didn't want to suffer again...
Feeling the strange pulsating's within him drop to a stop.. he knew, no matter what, how or when... he could not defeat this terror inducing creature much less escape from it.
His body shuddered profusely as his countenance warped greatly. A soundless screamed escaped from his dry maw, carrying with it countless tears of weakness and sadness.
But as though the creature could hear those screams, it stopped. Its fiery outlined head turning towards the carriage that provided shelter towards the royalty beneath it.
...
Sharp grating and hollow screams boomed from the heavens as the fiery red dots that had remained within the heavens, danced again this time in a different manner. Frenzied and animated they were, sharp grating sounds and hollow screams accompanied the frenzied dance. The world warped and twisted, mutating from its warped screams and hollow cries. All life that heard that voice and its screams, under went sharp transformations, as also the human-like creature outlined began emitting a sharp grating sound.
SCREEEEEECH!!!
"AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
The caravan guards and slaves that heard the profane sound, screamed profoundly as crimson blood began to flow from their gaunt bodies orifices, but that only signaled the beginning of the strange events actively happening around the camp as white feathers slick with blood, formed from the flowing blood. This strange phenomenon caused the already screaming persons to panic further, raising their futile attempts to try and shut up the bleeding... but it just wouldn't stop.
Thrashing about Juon looked towards the figure emanating this cruel sound with much fear, bloody tears marring his already warped expression. White feathers formed within the pools of blood that had began to coalesce atop the ground, but, with that already strange phenomenon, another accompanied. Baby-like arms formed within the screeching maw of Juon as they sought light from within their birth ground as they tore apart his already screaming maw. A fresh flow of blood and tears, escaped from within him as his dull brown eyes, quivered and trembled greatly so. Hoarse muffled screams resounded as he writhed about with much intensity, trying his best to shake off this horrible experience he had become exposed too.
Other guards had become so grotesque and inhuman that their cries and screams felt horror inducing. Majority of the slaves, being as the guards, becoming inhuman pieces of flesh that bobbed, sharing their sudden and tremendous horror that seemed infatuated with their already grotesque beings. Screams upon screams filled the entire camp as they suffered a brutal forced mutation from the strange and eerie being that emanated an ugly and profane sound. Beneath the carriage, the former Telemenphen prince, writhed about so greatly within his own piss and blood as strange symbols started etching themselves within his eyes, molten magma encroaching dangerously close towards him. The tremendous heat made him force his already terror stricken body to flail about even more greatly, inching away and away from the burning magma that continued to approach him, terror ravaging his mind.
Abruptly, the screeching emanating from the being stopped, its effects still felt all round the camp and beyond, piles of screams echoing round. A short silence fell upon the lands, as the sudden horrible screeching that had stopped on the earth didn't mean that the screams from on high had stopped for high in the sky, pools of magma had been dancing wildly along with the fiery red dots that had continued their profane and loud screeches. Glowing magma that should have brought light towards the heavens, yet now seemed like a horrible omen as it danced along, freely, with the frenzied, animated red dots.
Such were the effects of a "close encounter" and one towards the "third kind." Screams filled the camp as forced mutations continued unabated.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
The former Telemenphen prince screeched as the formation of those strange symbols seemed to have stopped but the pain of their existence brought a blind shocking experience towards him as he couldn't stop his writhing and flailing.
"AAAARRRGHHHH!!! IT BURRRRNNSSSS!!! AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHH!!!"
He couldn't reel from the effects of the profane sound,
COUGH!!! COUGH!!! COUGH!!!
Coughing out mouthfuls of blood that suddenly turned to white feathers the moment they touched the air, his horror turned expression paled at the profane experiences he had been dealt as he shivered like a leaf within a storm. Flailing and writhing about in pain all whilst crying out,
"IT BURRRNNNS!!! AAAAAAARRRRGHHHH!!! IT BURNS AAAAARRRRGHHH!!!"
Fear, horror, trepidation... despair, being the storm that molested his being. Rivers of blood had continued to flow solemnly, as he couldn't stop his unabashed writhing about, terror coating his wild screams, his honor as a member of royalty flowing away along with the rivers of blood that pooled beneath him, white feathers forming from the crimson liquid.
Death...
Juon couldn't help but wish death to visit him... these terrors, pains and sufferings were far too great of a burden for his soul as blood tears leaked out from his eyes sockets, the baby-like arms gently flailing and caressing his terror stricken countenance. His bloody tears obscuring him from looking at the obscene creature that seemed to lose its form like a mirage.
With that, it disappeared back into the fiery red dots they were before coalescing with which they then flew back towards the heavens. Its unnatural call and sound that emanated from the heavens.. abruptly stopping. Silence had once again returned to the heavens, the fiery red stars continuing their frenzied and animated dance with the solemnly burning magma.
Then... there it all disappeared... like a grand illusion of prodigious proportions, a horribly terrifying... illusion, gone.
