Mammon Arrives
When Shobek finally finished making his circle, he moved back towards the center to find Kasey trying to smooth out her hair curls. He was happy to see that the tight, black jeans and the white shirt fit. Though he noticed that she wasn't wearing the boots yet.
"Do the boots-" Kasey yelped and swung around to fling the brush at him. Luckily for him, he was able to dodge it before it hit him smack in the face. He gave her a wide-eyed look and she slowly calmed down realizing it was him.
"Do they happen to have collars with bells on them? I think I should get you one." She scowled, though an embarrassed blush brushed her cheeks.
"I doubt they do..." Shobek frowned at the thought of having to wear another collar. "Besides, I don't think I really need one."
Kasey snorted and glared past him at the hairbrush that was now doused in mud. No

Mistakes of the Past The Deal
Shobek closed the door to the inn, feeling rather confident that Kasey would be safe there. He slowly walked back up the path, walking past a few empty tents or ones where the Vendors were hiding under their table. Unsurprising. He let his wings reappear as he neared the newly arrived figure. Mammon turned to meet his eyes. He looked to be in his late thirties, his brown shoulder-length hair was tied in a messy bun behind his head. His face was covered with stubble. Shobek stopped roughly five feet away. His eyes looked over the two girls that stood to the side of Mammon. They were twins and both wore matching maid outfits. The only difference between the two was the fact that one had a small heart under her eye on the left cheek, and the other twin had the same design on the right cheek, and that one twin had their black hair had parted to the left, while the other had it parted to the right. "Shobek! It has been a while. What br
Mistakes of the Past The Businessman's Greeting
Shobek had three total drinks before Mammon's patience finally wore down and he basically dragged Shobek out with him. Shobek, barely feeling any buzz, was not happy about this arrangement he had made. Another mistake in a pile of mistakes. But, since it was a deal, he had to follow through with it. "Where to my friend?" Mammon smiled widely, his eagerness barely contained. Shobek unenthusiastically mumbled something like 'follow me' as he walked back up the path a little way and stopped outside the Inn. He turned back at Mammon and frowned for a moment, "Please give me a moment to make sure she is alright and fill her in." Mammon nodded and turned to fix his appearance, to look as well kept as ever. Going so far as to change the color of his suit and tie. "Sure, sure. Let me know when I can come in!" Shobek nodded half-heartedly and knocked
Mistakes of the Past Setting Sail
Kasey wasn't sure what kind of hell was awaiting them, but from looking up at the boat that was armored to the damn sails, she was sure it wasn't anything good. "Are you sure that thing can float?" Kasey questioned Shobek, her eyes looking over the long sharp spikes that peeked out of the water. "There are enchantments to keep it afloat." Shobek smiled as he watched Kasey look over the heavily armored ship they were to use. Mammon already talking to the captain who looked like he was ready to piss his pants. "Why are they.... so... Spikey?" Kasey knotted her brows together and looked up at Shobek as she huddled closer to him when a strong salty breeze brushed past her. "So any sea monsters that we pass will have a hard time ripping into the ship." Shobek slid an arm around Kasey as she frowned and eyed the wooden dock they stood on.&
Mistakes of the Past Confessions
Kasey stared at Shobeks drunken figure as his red face started to pout again. After a moment, Shobek yanked Kasey on top of him. She began to protest as she pushed herself up and looked down at him. But Shobek wrapped an arm around her waist to keep her from leaving; a goofy smile spread across his face as he gave her a warm look. Kasey stared down at him stunned once again. "I've loved you for a long time, Kasey...." Shobeks words were soft and his expression slowly became pained and regretful. "But I've only ever hurt you and have caused you harm. I apologize." "N...None of this is your fault..!" Kasey looked away flustered, her attempts at rolling off him failing. "No... It is. I wasn't careful enough." Shobek tugged her against his chest until her head lay against his chest, his hand quietly petting her. As if to soothe her. Kasey again tried to remove herself from him but he insta
Mistakes of the Past The Agreement
Shobek leaned back against the bedroom door. He hadn't left to find more soup. And frankly, he wasn't going to. Not since he was half-naked. He listened closely to what was happening inside the room and waited patiently for things to fall shockingly quiet. He slowly peeked his head inside and noticed Kasey curled up on the bed, her breathing soft and steady. He watched her for a moment longer before slipping into the room and closing the door. His steps were quiet as he walked to the wardrobe and pulled out a plain shirt. His eyes watched Kasey carefully as he slipped on the white, long-sleeved shirt. Afterward, he quickly left the room. Next time, I'll try to hold back a bit more on the drinks...Shobek thought as he walked down the hall looking for the best cure for his head. Four hours passed before Shobek started to make his way back to the room. His steps were lighter
Mistakes of the Past Cursed Chains
Shobek sat carefully on the bed as he watched Kasey pace around the room. He could tell she wanted to ask more questions but was questioning whether she wanted to know. He wasn't surprised in the slightest about it. Shobek softly sighed and knocked his anxiety aside as he tried to ease Kasey's curiosity and fear. "Did you know... That I was created by humans?" Kasey look up surprised, she carefully inspected Shobek's sad expression as he stared at the ground. "Not biologically, but through their wishes and desires. That was how I came to be. Much like many other gods and demons." Kasey kept quiet as she slowly walked over to the couch and sat down, her eyes gently gazing at Shobeks slumped figure. "My name wasn't Shobek either. It was given to me after I...fell. I would say died, but, entities like me, cann
Mistakes of the Past Docked
Kasey blankly stared at Shobek as he slowly stood and walked to the hall door, his hand resting on the knob as he sighed. "When...I felt it, It took me six years to escape hell, and I searched everywhere. I could feel myself drawing closer to the key of freedom, and that's when I saw you. As soon as I met your eyes, it clicked. But in my frantic search, I didn't realize the king sent his dogs after me. I only got a glimpse of you before being dragged back down into the depths of hell. The king... was not happy. And I felt his wrath each day he came down into his dungeons to torment me. He let me go after three years. He said that since I led him to you, he had cut my six-year sentence in half. If I had known I was being followed, I never would have sought you out. But from my carelessness, you were targeted. And for that, I am truly sorry..." Kasey stared at Shobek in alarm, confusion racing through her
Mistakes of the Past Short Run-in
Shobek continued to lead Kasey through the streets of the red-light district quickly, but as they both neared the fly zone a sultry, smooth voice called out to him. Shobek froze for a brief moment before trying to urge Kasey onward. "Now, babe, is that any way to treat me? I haven't seen you around here for SO long..." Kasey peered back at the stranger who leaned against the door frame from one of the brothels. The man had a tilted smile resting on his face with sharp yellow eyes that were encircled with red eyeshadow. His smile grew as he moved away from the door frame, his undercut was mostly brown except that the front of his hair was white. Kasey slowly looked back at Shobek questionably as the slightly smaller-built man moved towards them. His walk was that of a model, a hand sliding into his gray jeans as his shrug jacket blew open to reveal a mesh shirt that allowed anyone to see a rose tattoo on his left pectoral. If Kasey hadn't already been aware of how sexy mo
