Chereads / Eros: The Forgotten God / Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: Fear

Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: Fear

Lackadaisical steps, innocuous, anteriorly banal to the serpentine youth, impregnated the plane, bearing voice sonorous, hedonic and licentious, a debaucherous dance of lascivious subconscious temptation. Vambrace of stone fastidiously fractured, birthing progeny of concealed sanguine, its countenance ominously placid, omnipotently tranquil, an irenic lake that slovenly pooled atop Eros's languid arm.

Dissentient heterochromatic eyes of forbidding, pestiferous, pruriency lay mollified, pregnant with a child of mirrored physique, with skin of cadaverous exsanguinous hyperborean blue the sole occupant of the carnal boy's brain, flayed bone boundlessly splintered, myriad shards coalescing upon the ground afore the invidious aperture, fruitless in their slaughter of the adolescent's encroach.

Sky of ensanguined carrion malevolently dishonoured the tarnished boy's departure, for horizon anteriorly vitiated by the martyred, torturous visage of Medusa appeared bloodcurdlingly parturient, viviparous with presences of predominant horror, infinite statues bulwarked the precipice of Eros's eyes, their figures elephantine, behemothic, mere feet gnarled, abominable yet eerily humane distended from the heavens, bereft of identifiable detestable bodies, countenances bearing heights unfathomable via mortal metrics. Flesh of anterior, uncelebrated shade possessed colouration of raped, achromatised stone, vitreous, paradoxically frangible. Gargantuan barbaric, vacuous spears ruinously perforated the earth, their placements spasmodic yet portentously static, their augural collapse a prophetic apocalypse upon the desolate isle.

'W-w…what are they?! These creatures… these beasts…they appear humanoid… but their height, it's unfathomable, a mere foot capable of encroaching upon the heavens! How behemothic must their unmarred countenance be! How…how did Medusa ever beat them…no…why did she have to slaughter them in the first place?' Eros deliriously stammered, his mind amaranthine in locale, empyrean amidst the clouds, attached exclusively by a diaphanous, fibrous string, every thought opaquely sentineled by an effluvium of cacophonous dissonance.

Adrenaline perspired solely amid his brain, cretinous to baptism of cardinal claret. Tempestuous steps, bedraggled, gutwrenchingly tremulant, lorded the anathematised maledict isle. Impassive, apathetic Eros merely moved, uncaring to the innumerable blockades of atrophied, blighted lime that incongruously assaulted his wretchedly profaned boots. He had to leave, for notions of vatic oracular extirpation singularly awaited the prison of Sarpedon, for without its aggrieved martyrised lamb, nugatory existed a presence competent in killing such horrific monsters.

Lambent sun of ghoulish apparitional melancholy assailed the serpentine beauty, its light bromidic, pabulum, platitudinous, possessing myriad tendrils that slovenly molested air of stagnant unnerved sanguine, its wraithlike countenance vacuously disdained by the carnal boy, yet, with paradoxically abandoned consent Eros egressed upon land antecedently wistful cretinous to notions of foreboding abhorrence, for what assailed neonate irises was not a visage anteriorly universal but a scene of omnipotent demoniacal phobia.

A grand plane, irradiated by nought but the exiguous cadaverous fluorescence of a diminishing portal, bearing precipice of innumerable hooded espers, their words cryptic, enigmatic, amaranthine upon one's senses, a grand door sensuously bedded by chains chasmically divorcing Gemini realms, such portrait of deplorable matriarchy should have sprawled before Eros, so then why…why did such nightmarish antithetical realm greet the boy?

A melodrama of utmost calamity.

Anterior bulwark, leviathan a paragon of altruistic grandeur, magnanimously bondaged by a lover of coarse, sensuous steel, appeared nascent in its placement, deprived of its amorous serpentine valentine, for innumerable voluptuous fetters appeared moronically strung, languidly hanging from graceless, inhuman precipices, their bodies obsessively pendulant, bearing resentful claws that accursedly assaulted their anterior beloved. Boundless wounds prevailed atop apotheosis of metal, nauseous indents, splintered, lacerated, an aperture of abysmal masonry, pestiferous with profane defilement, for contagion not of blanched argent, but human progeny ceaselessly spilt from such loathsome, fulsome wounds, perspiration of obnoxious unhallowed carrion languidly pooling upon the floor of petulantly stained cadaverous blue.

'....no….' Eros abstractedly repined, twain eyes of heterochromatic dissonance bloodcurdling poised upon an apprehensive plane of augural hooded worship, only to imminently freeze, for mere vestigial remains besieged the serpentine beauty's variegated, contracted irises. Myriad countenances, feminine, forebodingly exposed, bereft of their antecedent cloak, naked afore the world slumbered barbarically atop bedding of fragmented, mangled cloth. Skin of distinctive colourations lay universally blanched, pulverised, mutilated, vilely vitiated by chasmic wounds, degenerate, maroon claret ceaselessly coagulated atop the girls stomachs, effervescent in a perverted concoction of stomach acid and wretchedly strewn organs. Boundless bruises chaotically debauched the espers' bodies, spasmodically dishevelled by perforated bone, their faces cavernously indented. Their eyes deathlessly open, nugatory of colour, of the zoetic luminescence cognate with life.

Sanguine excrement hauntingly clung to the tumultuous boy's frantic feet, its execrable whine of reconciliation with that of its Gemini peers appallingly satanic upon the disquieted, nerveless boy's mind. 'No!' Eros pythonically cried, variegated eyes lucid upon their antecedent place of reverence for their brewed abhorrent depiction of anathematic monstrousness.

Obsidian drapes garbed the barbaric boy's body, pestiferously plagued by blight of saturated, steeped carrion, bereft of sleeves, nought but exposed defined ivory muscles perspired dew of cardinal unhallowed aversion, a depraved countenance manifest afore the petrified boy. Hylas. His hulking form appeared arciform, poised barbarically upon a denuded esper, her arms fibrous, bereft of bone, attached listlessly by nought but feeble carrion tendrils. Torturously did the vengeful tyrannical apostle move, his arms eternally animated, twain hands coloured by an adumbral outline of inhumane carrion nought but balled fists, each punch producing progeny of nil but rancorous cardinal effluvium.

Still, such depraved portrait of omnipotent monstrous murder captivated not the anarchic mind of the apprehensive Eros, for polychromatic eyes lay locked with antagonistic irises of sky blue, fiendish, delirious, yet ascendantly euphoric did the divine demi-god sadistically leer, his face of untarnished mania split into a demented, psychotic smile, anterior pearls tainted a reprehensible crimson.

"AH! AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!! ISN'T REALITY SO UNFAIR!!!!!!! YOU SHOULD BE DEAD. I SENT YOU INTO THE DUNGEON, SO THEN WHY?!!! WHY HAVE YOU RETURNED!!!! NO! I KNEW YOU'D RETURN!! AFTER ALL, YOUR SPITE KNOWS NO BOUNDS!!!!" The rabid apostle of Alcides manically roared, his hulking visage ominously elated. Dispossessed of his prior doll Hylas ineptly rose, incoherent eyes lucidly anchored atop the serpentine form of his apocryphally appointed adversary.

'I need to go! He's insane! What does he mean, my spite?! I've never done anything to him!' Eros discordantly queried, his belated stammer of grievance imminently ruptured by the ascendent adolescent's abhorrent exclamation.

"THOUGH I SUPPOSE THIS IS GOOD, NO, THIS IS THE BEST!!! WITH THIS, I'LL BE THE ONE TO KILL YOU!!! AHAHAH!!! I CAN DO IT WITH MY OWN HANDS!!!! I CAN PUT AN END TO MY ENEMY!!! I'M THE PROTAGONIST OF THIS WORLD!!! NOT YOU!!! I'M THE ONE WHO DESERVES ALL THEIR ATTENTION, ALL THEIR PRAISE!!!! I'M A FUCKING APOSTLE!!!! A GOD'S CHOSEN, WHILE YOU, YOU WERE JUST AN F-RANK, A FAILED PRODIGY, THOUGH WITH YOUR WEIRD APPEARANCE, YOU PROBABLY ATTAINED A RANK SIMILAR TO MINE!!! AHAHAH!!! GOD, DO I HATE YOU!!! I HATE YOU!!!! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!!!!!!! WHY DID YOU ALWAYS GET IN MY WAY!!!! WHY ARE YOU SO VINDICTIVE!!! DO YOU PURPOSEFULLY TORTURE ME WITH YOUR BOUNDLESS MALEVOLENCE!!!"

With each utterance spilt from the berserk boy's hemic lips, the ostentatious, cadaverous domain pusillanimously quivered, sanguinary perspiration pooling hematically afore the serpentine boy, myriad hands embracing body of eerie tranquillity, their visages bereft of voice, yet, their pleas resonated sonorously afore Eros's mind, their final narcissistic egocentric, humane cry manifest upon his nerveless mind. 'Medusa…Psyche, is there anyway I could continue my life after beating this petulant lunatic? I don't care about my residence amid this condemned school. I merely desire his defeat, though if such consequence amounts to nought but my plighted ascertained death, I will run…Though I have nowhere to run to. If I merely return through the portal, he'll follow me to such predestined plane. Please…answer me,' The mesmeric teen apathetically drawled, his mind instantaneously inundated by twain disturbed throes.

{+5 Affection (Medusa)}

'Eros, please don-' Psyche erotically sputtered, her sensuous cry imminently dismembered by the monarchal hiss of her singular peer.

'It's possible, though, after your skirmish, you must imminently escape, not unto the confines of this mortal world. Eros, you must retreat unto my legacy, my trial, the record of my existence, with our combined divinities…Psyche and I can hasten this process and deliver you upon a realm anteriorly inaccessible, that which should have remained chasmically segregated until your strength called for such needed ascension. You must stay there until we deem fit, for the moment you can make your sumptuous return, though such reappearance is not guaranteed. What is your decision?' The mountainous gorgon whimsically breathed, her question mere rhetoric afore the heterochromatic adolescent.

'I'll do it, for if I merely retreat upon this unknown earth, all that awaits me is the continued pursuit of Hylas's faction. He's seen my appearance, commented on my status. I'll never be safe. ' Eros callously riposted cretinous to the augural phobic future kairos unto such a decision, heterochromatic eyes listlessly planted afore the encroaching figure of the aberrant apostle.

'We'll start preparing for your departure,'

"HEY~ HEY!!!! MR FAILED PRODIGY, LET ME POSE A QUESTION ONTO YOU REAL QUICK, DO YOU REMEMBER ME?!" Hylas incoherently bellowed, such mere utterance calamitous upon the petrified boy's antecedently placated mind.
