The voice was startling shrill, like a toddler screaming at the top of their lungs.
Did something just speak to me? It was so shrill and pitchy….
PiTChy! iF yOU apologize NoW I mIGht jUST MAke your DEAth slIGhtly faSTEr FoOl
The voice was starting to get on Odd’s nerves, he felt as though the voice was screaming in his head. Odd just wanted to find the source of the voice, and tear it’s throat out just to make it stop.
Listen voice, if you don’t tell Me where YOU are, I’ll make sure to kill you before I eat you.
There was a chittering sound in the back of Odd’s mind as if the voice was taken aback by Odd’s thoughts. There was a sound of bricks moving around him as the sewers walls parted revealing a ginormous rat-king, a swarm of rats each the size of a dog. Their hideous tails wrapped around each other holding them together. Odd looked up at the rat-king thoughtfully eyeing his opponent.
“Your a big one arentcha, might take a bit to go through you”
THROugh mE? onE dOEs nOT sIMPly tHREateN the GreAT RAthOs anD LiVE, thiNG thAT Is NOt a hUMaN
Odd smirked, when the rat-king launched itself at him. The horrible writhing mass covered his body, each one of its mouths trying to take a chunk out of him, to find to their surprise they couldn’t. Rathos could feel some of his heads stuck in Odd’s body trying to bite his insides or pull themselves free.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
Rathos could feel all his strength depleting like his life force was being sucked into its opponent.
“I told you I was going to eat you, I didn’t expect it to be this easy though.”

Odd felt the words resonate with himself.
“Is it fun infecting and ruling over everything?”

“I mean does it give you purpose?”

Odd patted the rats dangling out of his body.
“Seeing how I’ll be draining the life force out of your body for the rest of eternity, and it doesn’t sound completely boring to me, your goal is now my goal, rat thing.”
NoOo oNLY rAThos Can rULE
“Well not anymore, also can you stop with the whining your voice really gets on my nerves.”
Rathos quieted down, and Odd stood up completely ignoring the weight of the rats pulling down on him. It looked as though a cloak or if strands of rats were coming out of his body. Odd didn’t mind, he felt more powerful than he could remember, not that he could remember much, but still. Invigorated and ready to go, Odd started walking down the sewer tunnels when he stopped and looked down at himself.
“Do you know how to get out of this place?”
……….……………………………………………………………………………………………………….
“You can’t do this Father, you know what he’s like.”
“I’m sorry Sandra but I must, for we have no choice.”
Sandra, Julius, and King Belor, her father, were walking down the stairs to the deepest part of the dungeon, where unspeakable horrors were imprisoned. Sandra felt a cold shiver going down her spine as she remembered the cruel man’s face. Finally at the deepest cell door, Julius went up and slid the grate open to peek inside the room.
“Well, well, well your back, weren’t you going to get another hero?”
Sandra violently recoiled back and looked at her father pleadingly.
“Father please.”
Belor looked at his daughter with compassionate eyes before steeling himself.
“Things…. didn’t work out, but you already knew that because we wouldn’t be here otherwise.”
“Aaannndd”
“We need your help.”
Sandra could practically see his grin behind the door.
“What needs to be done?”
