choosing a random seat at this, well the best name would be tavern, I sat there looking around, observing the world around me and the creatures passing through it.
to call it post apocalyptic would be accurate, everything was either in ruins or looked medieval, it was like time threw up on itself backwards and forwards.
I heard some light steps approach me from the side, a familiar voice asking me a question.
"would you like to order anything sir?"(Raya)
my head snapped to my side, both of us sharing a surprised look.
"SYN?!"(Raya)
"hi.."(syn)
I saw tears start to form before she smacked the shit out of me, my head whipping to the side.
"ok I deserved that."(syn)
"you were dead!"(Raya)
heads started turning towards us, great more attention!
"no, no I wasn't, I went through a forced evolution to survive."(syn) I told her quietly.
"you did?"(Raya)
her tears were threatening to fall at this point.
"i did, what happened, and how much time has passed?"(syn)
she wiped her face and regained her calm composure, neutraling her body language.
"it's been 5 years, the vampires and undead races have aligned with the demons while small resistance factions have joined with these winged pests."(Raya) said, pointing at the table avoiding eye contact with me.
"I know em, kinda sorta killed one of em, maybe insulted their queen."(syn)
"you never change do you?"(Raya)
"I try."(syn) I said, with a solemn expression.
"on the bright side, you're not evil, the demon manipulated you."(Raya)
"let's not talk about that."(syn)
"oh, ok."(Raya)
Raya was called over by the winged table so I just told her I'd meet her after she was done, I needed info, and I didn't have anywhere else to be, so I had time.
leaving the tavern like building I leaned against its outside wall as I played my fight against the shadow demon over and over, I'd completely been shown how pathetically weak I was, dammit!
all this time I thought I was strong, I wasn't even shit to that demon, just another roadblock to mess with and destroy when it got boring, using the cover of "justice".
incoming foot steps caught my attention, a distraction would work for me right now, so I approached them, what had to be a group of demons walking along calmly followed by stressed out looking vampires was approaching the tavern.
they noticed me and the demons asked the vampires what I was, human or vampire, I looked like I could be either.
"neither!"(syn) I called out to the group.
the demons began to move fatser, the vampires shuffling close behind as they approached me.
they were now in my face as we stood, they were a smidge taller than my 6 foot 5 but it was fine, they weren't intimidating in the slightest.
"we don't know you so, start talking worm."(demon)
"you talk like an idiot."(syn)
he started fuming, really? one comment and he's this angry?
just wow.
the vampires stepped forward a bit, looking me in the eyes for a moment before darting their glance downwards.
"he's the superior creature here."(vampire)
the demon got even angrier, grabbing both vampires by the neck and shoving them to the ground.
the other two demons watching this excitedly as I stood relaxed, facing all three.
"scan this bastard!"(demon) shouted to his cronies.
they nodded with a "yes boss" and their eyes glowed, I welcomed the scan.
their knees began shaking as sweat started to glisten on their foreheads, their lips quivering as they faced me anxiously.
the two demon cronies wet themselves before taking off in the other direction, leaving a very confused demon with the vampires.
"what did you do?!"(demon)
"I let them scan me."(syn)
I stayed nonchalant as he only got more emptional..
I heard the tavern door open, Raya walking out as I recognized her scent, I didn't even turn around as I greeted her.
"hey, I'm a bit busy at the moment."(syn)
"you seriously have a knack for finding trouble, dont you?."(Raya) relented as she leaned on the tavern wall, watching us.
"vampire, come help me!"(demon)
"she doesn't need to, if you're strong that is."(syn) I taunted.
I swear I could see actual steam or smoke billowing from his ears and nose, what is this a cartoon? this can't actually be happening.
I almost started laughing at the ridiculousness of the situation.
but i now had something to do so the demon distraction would have to come to a close.
"we'll that was fun but I have stuff to do now, see ya."(syn)
I spun on my heels as I gave a wave to the demon, walking over to Raya and motioning for her to take the lead.
the demon didn't like that, he charged from behind me, hoping to get a surprise attack In.
but he would be dead wrong, I spun on my heels once more, facing him as his face became twisted in confusion, I used my hand to grab his only horn on the center of his head, I used it to smash him into the ground, facefirst.
once he wss on the ground I twisted and ripped the horn from his head, using it to stab him in the back before standing and calmly walking away, what a dumbass.
"as always you take it too far."(Raya)
"only in your opinion."(syn)
she rolled her eyes at me as we walked away, neither of us looking back at the demon, or the other pair of eyes I sensed watching the entire ordeal, I could've outed them easily but their intentions had nothing to do with me so I didn't bother, it would've been a waste of effort anyway.
