Heat seeker, death point of view
"GET ME DOWN YOU BRAT"
the king of ashes takes a step back putting his arms up in a calming gesture.
"Look I Azarax know we didn't have the best last meeting but-"
the skeleton keeps yelling, like a senile old man, cutting him off
"damn right we didn't, now get me down!"
His eyes, or i think so, goes from the king of ashes to neph, me and sunny and he gets even more pissed off
"YOU'RE TEAMING UP WITH TWO THRALLS OF WEAVER AND A DAMN SLAVE OF SHADOW"
the skeleton keeps screaming as the king of ashes tries very, and I mean very, hard to calm him down. I end up sitting down and eating some food from my bag. I offer sunny and neph some, they dont take any for some reason. It takes him a few hours to calm down, thanks in part due to the stone saint finally appearing.
When I'm done eating i stand up stretching as I do.
"The gods are dead. All dead. Our people didn't even know about the gods until like 60 years ago. So calm your no ass having self down. You call us thralls of Weaver, but we are trying to get rid of the nightmare spell, so I wouldn't call us thralls. Jackass"
he stays silent for a while.
"Their all dead, not a single uncorrupted god is dead?"
I scoff
"guess whos plan caused that"
he scoffs loudly
"Weaver isn't it?"
I nod quickly
"yeah that one used the nightmare spell to kill everything and everyone! Only the humans in the divine realms survived, and all but wars realm is long dead"
the skeleton stares at us for a bit before it goes back to yelling
"well?! Why the hell are you here, you brats go back to defending your realm then you idiots!"
I look at the two.
"Can't. We need to get to the tomb. There's one last supreme from our realm, someone with the blood of heart god"
he points a finger at us
"and? Fight him!"
I shurg
"we can't. His aspect turns him into a thought. Hes unkillable and fundamentally a coward."
He nods like he suspected it
"of course it had to be heart god, what other god could be so damn annoying!"
I outstretch my arms
"how bout this, we get you off that tree, and I'll even give you some armor, if and I mean if, you help us get to the tomb."
He stares at us
"you said you want to destroy the nightmare spell, to not longer be thralls of weaver"
I do a thumbs up
"fine. But I will take over the realm of war one day"
I shrug. Good enough.
I glance at the king of ashes, who stares at the skeleton, then with a long sigh he heavily walks forward and takes him off the tree. The skeleton whacks him for the trouble, and is dropped for it
"damn brat"
he wipes himself off, while I send beast a message, I'm in need of the armor set i got from that corrupted devil. I look at sunny and neph. She leans over to me
"was that a good idea?"
I snort
"no. But do you think we could get to the tomb without it?"
The two stay silent glancing between me and the plague of steel. The fake mimic finally spits out the armor i had gotten from the devil. He picks it up looking it over, there's some runes on it, as I had been having noctis try adding runes to memories.
"This will work well enough"
he puts it on. He adjusts some things until he gets it right.
"You all are disgraceful"
its pretty clear he still doesn't like us, not one bit. But he doesn't hate us, or well not as much. Sunny laughs, or well tries to
"and why is that?"
The plague of steel points at us and he goes back to yelling
"supremes, teaming up like this! It's a dishonor to all supremes, almost as much as that wretched worm Eurys!"
He starts pacing
"three suprmes, three! Teaming up like this! I could forgive those two kings, even if only because they couldn't take over the others domains, snow and ash and all that, but you three! You three can take over eachothers domains!"
We all glance at each other. I start laughing.
"And what's so funny?!"
I point at myself then at the king of ashes
"new snow and ash kings"
he freezes
"you. Your that fools heir"
he starts laughing, really hard too.
It takes him a while to stop laughing. I start looking in my bag to get him a weapon, neph and sunny start talking to him. Something about that other skeleton that used to be on the tree, E something. Apparently it had killed the vessel of war, I don't get much about what being talked about. I've never really cared much for things like that. I wonder if I used the memory i got from the flesh of Kanakht I could give the guy flesh? I won't. I could easily mess up such a thing. Sunny is sure interested, he's always loved learning the past. Bet he'll make a new report when this is all over. I wonder how teacher reacted to the last one.... I finally find a battle axe that will work! I put my legs on the ground and I finally pop out of my satchel. I toss over the battle axe. He looks it over, swinging it a few times. He nods
"not bad."
Maybe I could get some information about the two kings from him, he seemed to know them, and finds me darkly funny at that.
They keep talking until night comes. I summon my army. I can feel the judging eyes on me from him.
"Really? Is that all the crown shadow god helped create does? Make clones of the dead? Hah! Of course thats all it could do!"
I shrug
"if they had been awakened they can use their aspects, and they act like the person they are fakes of"
he scoffs
"so what, a barely better version of shadows? How foolish. Frankly this, this is a shame to the snow king. I may hate him, but his death meant nothing more then that?"
I turn to him
"heyyyy so you knew the snow king, could I perhaps get some information about him"
the skeleton stares at me in what I can only name as annoyance.
"No"
I frown as I shurg
"fine fine. I won't ask again"
I look out at the dunes as black skeletons rise from the sand. Well I hope that armor, its only enchantment to help the wearer keep their sense of self, can keep our new guide from turning into that.
