Secrets
I looked around vacantly, nothing was processing. And I didn't care. Shobek slowly crouched down and laid his wing out for me to slide down from. It took me a few seconds to register my movements. When I finally felt the ground I looked at my hands. I am trembling. I slowly looked up at Shobek, his eyes showing a hint of annoyance as he sighed and wandered towards a crater. I slowly looked away, taking in the black stone ground and the falling ashes around me. The temperature around me was definitely hotter than any weather we ever had on the surface. But for me, all I felt was a vast emptiness. The dark world was only lit up by the glows of fire and lava. The underworld. It was quiet, but I could feel the anguish in the air. The fear.
"Are you going to stand there all day?" Shobek growled.
I slowly turned back to where I had seen him, the dragon's figure nearly invisible if it wasn't for the glints of his scales or gl

Shobek slowed his pace a little after a long walk, a light starting to peek at me as I walked behind him. Our footfalls were in sync as we approached the yawning room that was before us. Why are all of these guys' basements so large? I questioned silently to myself, glancing at the young boy, internally scolding myself about blindly following someone I don't know. If this was the normal world, I would run away from things like this. I mean, what kinda girl follows a guy she hardly knows into a basement? Or why would she EVER follow them knowing that they are from the supernatural? "Get your head out of the clouds. We'll start with the basics. I want you to do a jab, cross, jab, then an undercut." The boy glanced back at me as he walked a little further away. "As...in punching?" I followed a few feet behind him, watching him make himself comfortable atop a large rock. He looked down at me as he sat crisscrossed, watchin
Mistakes of the Past Uncaged
Kasey stared at the deceiving form of the young boy. Though she was well aware that he was far older than her, she felt a pull towards him, wanting to protect him. His age didn't coincide with his actions, not all the time anyway. Shobek stared deep into Kasey's eyes as if reading her like a book. He hissed and jerked his chin back to where she had previously been when practicing. "Get back to work." My body was exhausted by the time Shobek let me rest. It had been a few hours since I started and I was ready to quit. Shobek sat on his rock with his eyes close. Meditating I suppose. I plopped down on the ground taking deep breaths to steady my heartbeat. I stared aimlessly at the expansive room around me, my thoughts drifting back to what I had done. Nausea started rippling through me, my eyes slowly looking down at my hands that rested on my knees. I could almost feel the handle in my hand again. The
Mistakes of the Past A Frustration
The dragon that stood before me was panting as its legs seemed to be concrete; the shadowed bindings making him unable to twitch. He ground his teeth together slightly as he let his rage pool off of him. I stared at his magnificent form. Despite the fact that he probably wanted to bite my head off, he was absolutely beautiful. I slowly found my footing out of reach, carefully moving around him as I looked over him. His wings were folded close to his body, the long lizard tail swishing back and forth like a cat does when it's annoyed. It was truly, a remarkable sight. "If you weren't so scary lookin' right now, I would want to pet you." He jumped a little at my words and finally actually looked at me. As if he was seeing someone entirely different before. A deep grumble came as the only reply I would receive, his head turning away from me. "What...were you thinking about?" Shobek slowly looked at me, the cha
Mistakes of the Past Rage Quit
It's been about a week since I last saw Shobek. It had to of been at least five days I think. It's hard to tell if it's day or night but his whole house seems to just automatically turn off all the unnecessary lights when it reaches a range of nighttime. If you wanted a certain light on, you had to go to the switch and flip it. It was a pretty neat idea but I wasn't sure if it was accurate, regardless, I've adjusted my whole lifestyle to it. The only times I know Shobek is still alive are when I hear him cursing at something in a game or when I suddenly hear rummaging outside my room in the kitchen in the middle of the night. I did try to catch him while he was on a hunt for food but when I saw him stalk past the hall, he looked more like a demon than ever before. Even though he held the corner of a chip bag in his mouth and was juggling a jar of dip and two different cans of some kind of energy drink, the way his eyes looked was nearly horrifying.
Mistakes of the Past Newcomer
(Shobek's POV) I slowly looked around, the release of my tension was everywhere. I glanced down at myself and grimaced at the black blood that coated me. I sighed and rolled my shoulders back, noticing the sound of quick and quiet footsteps on the ramp. I faintly remembered passing her, I looked back at my mess and frowned. "Oops." I sighed and kicked a limb out of my way as I sauntered towards my bathroom. I'll have to clean all of that up by hand if my powers haven't replenished by the time I finish my bath. "Kasey probably won't be returning here for a while." I slowly stripped off my clothes as I walked to the steaming water, letting myself sink into its warm embrace as I relaxed. I leaned back and stared up at the ceiling. Kasey was doing pretty good all considering. The few times when I've gotten sick of playing
Mistakes of the Past A Dragon and A Snake
Shobek wandered to the kitchen, Kasey still making some food. He glanced at what she had decided on and almost laughed. "What?" Kasey turned a sharp eye on Shobek, scowling at the young boy. "Frozen tenders and fries?" Shobek smiled mockingly, "it's funny how a little kid can cook better than an adult." Kasey scoffed, "little kid my butt." She carefully slid the pan into the oven and closed the door. She turned back and peered behind Shobek, "did you end up killing him?" "Sadly, I refrained from doing so. He's bathing in the bathroom if you want to go check." "No thanks." Kasey turned back to the frozen food bags she had yet to put away and slowly looked at Shobek again. "How do you have all of this modern stuff?" "It's easy for me to travel between realms because I can make my own portals. Though it is draining. Ever
Mistakes of the Past Tough Luck
The house was strangely quiet as I snuck out of my room. It had only been a couple of minutes since I heard the two men stomping away. Where they went was beyond me; I just wanted to get a drink and something sweet before returning to my new habit of being a recluse. My steps were light as I reached the halfway point in the living room. I paused and glanced around suspiciously. A glass of milk sat on the small table beside the couch along with the tv remote. I glanced at the channel that was on and frowned. It seemed to be a news station that was showing images of a developing fire. My stomach churned as I realized there were crucified people screaming in the midst of the flames. I quickly grabbed the remote and turned the TV off, the sight I saw earlier with Shobek ripping the monsters apart was already threatening my appetite. I sat the remote down and heard loud footsteps, I looked up and froze as a tall man emerged from the wall. His white hair fell in front
Mistakes of the Past Ragdoll
The two men continued to bark orders to the young women that continuously threw punches at the dummy. Left, right, left left, right, and kick. Kasey's limbs were starting to protest and give in as the exhaustion sept through. Digging into her muscles as she again listened to her coaches. "Keep your knees slightly bent. Elbows in!" Apophis repeated. Kasey felt her shoulders start to droop as she came close to calling quits. They've been at it all morning. What the hell is wrong with these guys? Why were they pushing so hard for her to train? By this point, Kasey tuned out Apophis as she again did the sequence he had shown her this morning. She could feel her knuckles burning with the constant pain of the beating. It was becoming too much. She jumped when she felt a warm hand touch her waist and she swung her arm back in an attempt to hit her attacker. Shobek easily caught her arm and quickly tucked it
