The Ward's Guard Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 On 4/5/2021 at 10:29 AM, Shard of Thought said: Star's gaze ran over all the characters around her. Each strolling, chatting, oblivious to the fact that at any moment a Narrator could come down and kill them all. That those evil gods who ruled over them without their knowledge couldn't care less that each one of these beings had a personality, a home, a family. It was absolutely sickening. She was ashamed to be one of them. Well, maybe I can help, Star thought as she walked. (Walked. By the Author, most Narrators had never had to walk more than a few steps...) But... how could she? The Narrators had control over a whole universe - no, hundreds of universes. There was no way she'd be able to protect it all, she was only one person. One Narrator, yes, but... It just wasn't possible. She hadn't even been able to protect her own husband, how could she hope to defend the billions of lives her kind threatened? Her eyes narrowed. There was a way. One she'd enjoy. She knew it could be done, she'd seen it happen. The Narrators deserved to die anyway. A voice cried out for help. Not long after the cry, a young woman came stumbling out of an alleyway. She was dressed as a common citizen, but her clothes had a layer of grime covering them. She cried out again, her words becoming clearer as she approached. "Please, you have to help! My boy, he needs help! Anyone, please!" Her voice was loud, but the pleading tone was powerful, sounding as if she could only focus on getting the help that was so desperately needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted May 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Star came quickly. As a mother herself, the plea of a woman begging for help regarding a child in trouble was irresistible. Deeply concerned, Star made her way over and asked, "Where? What's happened?"

The Ward's Guard Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 "Down the alley, this way!" The woman shouted as she turned back down the alley that she had come from, barely checking to see if Star was following. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted May 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 And indeed, Star was right on her heels. "What happened?" she asked. "I'm versed in healing, there's little I can't do for your child." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ward's Guard Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 The woman shook her head, "I don't know what happened, but he has a broken arm; I can see the bone." She slowed and pointed to the side of the alley, allowing Star to go first. "He's just over there, behind the dumpster. Hurry!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted May 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Star obeyed and knelt down beside a pale, frightened child. "Oh, my Author, dear. It's alright, I'm going to help you" She entered the boy's mind to calm him. But something was desperately wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ward's Guard Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 The moment that the Narrator had knelt next to the child, time started to run out. In a flash quicker than any mortal's eye could follow, the young woman lunged towards Star with a speed that was easily beyond any human. Her left arm was raised up, and a dark blade was produced from it, aiming for the Narrator's heart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted May 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Star only barely managed to avoid getting a knife to her Core. She ended up lying on the ground, a knife in her shoulder and a scream in her throat. Dear, Author, this experience was far too familiar. She thrust her foot upward to kick her attacker, knowing she had no time to get up. "What are you?" she demanded.

The Ward's Guard Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 When the Narrator's foot made contact, the woman didn't give in. Her chest chest felt harder than steel, and her footing was immovable. Her face barely displayed any reaction, with no anger or pain, only focus. The woman's blade wanted to consume and destroy whatever it came into contact with, but it was withdrawn just as quickly as it had been lodged into its target. Then just as the blade had been pulled away, another one came from her right hand, striking towards the Narrator's core faster than the blink of an eye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted May 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Quote “Her chest chest” is hilarious to me for some reason. Star tried to close up her wound, but it refused and she felt her energy drain away upon trying. She growled and - genuinely worried for her life since apparently this attacker knew where and with what to stab her - resorted to using her Authorial Gift. Star’s mind closed around her attacker’s and clawed into it. “Who are you??” Star demanded again. And, in the thing’s mind (for, indeed, it was not human or Narrator or any other manner of creature she knew) she began to find out. Inside of this strange being was a a seething hatred similar to her own. Not for Star specifically, but in general. At her kind.

The Ward's Guard Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) The creature barely acknowledged the intrusion, its thoughts focused on killing Star. The blades whizzed through the air, aiming with razor precision for Star's core. It moved with a sense of urgency, working to overcome Star before she could do anything more to stop it.

Zephrun’s Imperium Posted May 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 NO. Star’s mind broke a barrier. She sought to control the thing like she could a character, only instead of letting it dangle on puppet strings, she skewered it and wrapped it in irons. MINE. The thing fought her grip, but she matched its intensity with her own, her desire to stay alive fighting against its desire to kill her. We want the same thing, you fool. Death to the Narrators. If you’ll work with me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
