POV 3rd person
“Oh i simply adore this taste!” said the spirit now in control of the body.
After grilling Zamora’s corpse and eating it with more orc blood the spirit went on a rampage all throughout the facility. Without a master to dominate and order them around many of the Treasure Creeplings had tried to steal treasure or flee, but none got away from the ravenous appetite of the spirit.
“MMmmmmm. Roast Treasure Creepling and God Eater poison sauce! The sweet taste of all that treasure essence and sour poison. Kekeke, i must have more!” the spirit said reaching out and grabbing another
The spirit had broken open the barrels with the skulls on them and started drinking them like a fine wine. The facility owner, Mr. M had not been found or seen once ever since this nightmare began, but unknown to the spirit Mr. M had gotten what he wanted.
“Now lets see where did that little reborn fae morsel went? I bet she would taste divine in with this sauce. Oh why don’t i add some pure treasure essences while i’m at it! And some of those cattle too!” it shrieked.
The caged monsters that could not flee all whimpered at the approach of beastkin who had eaten their jailers. She radiated an aura of pleasure and terror like a butcher picking his blades. The cries of animals being roasted alive and eaten warned the others of their fate. One young medusa managed to break free of her cage and make a break for the exit but only to be captured by the possessed girl once more.
“Aww looks like more than one monster got loose of their cage today. Today must be a lucky day speaking of luck.”
The gaze of the girl gave the medusa chills and she knew that if she did not escape now she would surely die. She struggled and thrashed but the strange purple energy would not let the medusa go. The even trying to use her power to petrify the monster that had captured her but nothing worked.
*swoosh*
Purple fire lit up the squirming medusa as she was slow cooked to a perfection.
“Mmm. A little stringy. The meat wasn’t well taken care of prior to butchering i think. I guess there really is nothing here that can satisfy me.”
She turned her head towards the looming gates to the outside ocean of treasure. The spirit could of course sense the boundless oceans of cursed treasures. Sweet and beautiful were the only words that could describe it.
“I think i’ll bring this fine stuff. It appears to be the only thing here that might be of any good taste.”
The spirit opens spatial portals and gathered the barrels of deadly poison and made her way through the corridors to the entrance. The girl walked leisurely out the doors and up to an observation point.
“Ah look at that. Just look at it. This is-”
Suddenly a very large sword came flying out at the possessed girl but the spirit seeing a very tasty looking piece of sharp metal did the most natural thing and ate it.
“HEY! FRAXIA! NEXT TIME YOU KNOCK SOMEONE OUT MAKE SURE THEY CAN’T ACCESS AN OCEAN OF SWORDS”
After that another very large and sharp sword followed, and another, and another.
“STOP EATING THEM”
Cursed Treasure happened to be one of the spirits favorite foods and was also beneficial to it. But apparently the cursed treasures had caused some very very bad side effects after being woken up. For example, being really pissed with the last person you saw.
“Kekeke, little morsel you’re here! And you brought snacks. Bon appetite!”
“SHUT UP!”
This confrontation went on for several minutes. Man ancient and treasured heirlooms were lost during this time and would later be referred to as the Terrible Blade Feast.

POV Fraxia
“Uuuugghhhhh”
Everything hurts. My throat feels like a fire dragon pissed in it. I’m surrounded by darkness and why am i surrounded by darkness!
‘What happened? Last thing i remember was in the white room and…’
I can hear the sounds of Mirana shouting but it sounds as if i’m underwater.
“Fraxia can you hear me?” came a voice in the darkness.
The next thing i know Kyanu is standing in front of me in a ghostly form dressed in armor, but it’s dirty as opposed to her usual red dress and laid back appearance.
“So did i die? Where's your ice cream or french fries or whatever you're eating today?” i ask.
“Fraxia! You can hear me, good. Nows not the time for jokes. A civil war broke out in heaven and i needed to barricade myself in my realm. Look the council has been disbanded and every god in creation is having a go at me right now. Fraxia, they want the armor and their tired of waiting for it.”
‘Oh great does this mean…’
“Yes, it means that their gonna head for you next. Find a hiding place and keep your head down. Once it’s safe enough i’ll try and pick you up. For now just stay low.”
After telling me a few more important pieces of info we were interrupted.
*BANG!*
Something exploded in the background and Kyanu’s point of view shook and faded unstably.
“I have to go. Sound like they broke through the 2nd defence. Remember don’t let them catch you!”
With those words her hologram faded and i felt a tugging sensation in the pit of my stomach pulling me upwards towards the light and i lost conscious.
________________________
“WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!” i screamed.
As soon as i came back to the land of the living i was assaulted by many jeweled swords and daggers. Mirana, who was on the other end of them just continued to throw them fast and faster.
“BITCH I’M GNNA KILL YOU!” she screamed.
‘Hello and welcome to the brand new bullet hell game called sword rush(patent pending). The story is, I JUST WOKE UP STOP FUCKING TRYING TO SKEWER ME!’
I pull out my dagger and parry all the swords away while rapidly backing away. Beautiful blades that were probably very important or had some ancient history were sliced to pieces and flung aside.
‘Kekekeke, it was fun while it lasted.’
‘What did you do!’ I demanded
‘Oh i had a wonderful time. Had a bite to eat. Picked up some groceries. You know, i think i missed your witty negative sense of humor and entertainment soo much that i adopted it as my own. You should feel-’
‘Yaeh yeah yeah, honor bullshit. What did you do to Mirana!’
‘Kekekeke, i did nothing. The fae morsel was giving me many snacks until you came in and ripped control back. You should lose control more often. I picked up a nice brew while you were out of town. Kekeke’
‘Brew?’
I slap a sword out of my face and focus a lightning bolt into the ground at Mirana’s feet. Nothing deadly, just enough voltage to paralyze her for a few minutes, like a taser. The minerals at her feet focus all the electricity so the ground under her turns red and explodes upwards. Thanks to that though a chain reaction has been setoff and all the swords that mirana was preparing to throw were blow away like shrapnel.
*Whiiiizzz*
One of the swords embedded itself in the platform between my legs. Good thing i am a girl and do not posses such an item that could have been severed.
‘I wonder if she’s still mad?’
I grab Mirana and pull her off the cursed treasure once again.
Now why can’t you be an obedient little sister and stop running headfirst into cursed treasure. It's bad for you're health and i really am tired of
‘Now that i think about it some of those same words could apply to me.'
I suppose this is what Blake felt every time i left for another hunting trip or magic screwing lesson...Not a great feeling
‘I’ll make it up to her when i get back.’
I check Mirana over and make sure she isn’t dead or anything. Turns out she just has a concussion and a few electrical burns. With only that much she should be OK. Although the curse is still in effect there's nothing i can do about it. I need a source of holy magic or Holy water but i doubt i’m going to find that in a fae treasury?
‘Dammit! Where's a god's blessing when you need one’
Holy water is made with a god’s blessing. Depending on the god, the quality water and it’s properties can be changed or strengthened, but generally they have the ability to purify. of the Some adventurers usually carry some into undead type dungeons and miasma thick areas for times like the ones i’m having right now.
‘OK, Stupid idea that will probably not work.’
I grab a treasure chest that was nearby and use water trap to fill it with water.
‘I don’t even know if this is going to work, but lets hope so. Otherwise we're boned!’
It’s not like Kyanu ever taught me how to do this in the first place. Theoretically it should be possible, but it’s unlikely. Last time i tried something like this was when i was a child but even then i didn’t go to this extent.
I get down on my knees in front of the chest filled with water.
“Oh great god of death, please give your blessing to this water and i know you are probably busy right now but my friend is going insane so a little help!” i said “Praying” to the goddess of the dead.
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.
She is a goddess but one of death. I don’t even know if the goddess of the dead, who is probably busy tazing an invading god in her realm, can even make holy water.
‘Oh finally, i was wondering when you were going to try praying. 10 long years and you only prayed once. I was getting worried, but you were scarily accurate about me tazing a god right now. Here take this, i don’t know if it will work but try it anyway. I hope you friend doesn’t explode. Have to go now, tazer only works for so long.’ I hear in my head.
Inside the small chest the water turns black and starts bubbling. Miasma swirls dot the waters surface and i can’t help but feel this was probably a stupid idea. I choose to ignore the explode comment. I'm pretty sure a great man once said something like "You loose if you mind it" or something like that.
(AN Note: here guys, have a random cameo.)
“Inspect”
Corruptive Death Water of Sealing Curse
Water of the goddess of death with the ability to absorb the curses of punishment. Has a negative effect on users or equipment with Holy affinity and corrupts other sources of water it touches.
‘Well that says nothing at all considering the goddess wants me to feed this to my best friend. It’s all i got. Cross your fing-no wait don’t give luck bitch an opening. Crisis averted.’
I grab a golden goblet that was filled with some drink, empty the contents, and refill it with the black water from the chest. I support Mirana’s back and try to get her to drink but she won’t swallow. I tried to think of a way to get her to drink it but the only option i could think of...do i have too…
‘Mirana, you better goddamn worship me later for all the trouble i’m going through. Then again she probably won’t enjoy this either.’
______________
POV Mirana
My eyes fluttered open to reveal a dark and murky landscape. I tried to cry out but the only bubbles come out.
‘Drowning!’
I try to bolt uprights but someone pushes me back down. I struggle and kick at my assailant but surprisingly she is able to hold me down. I bit lip and taste blood blood as everything starts fading to black.
*Splash*
Suddenly i whipped out of the water and i cough out mouthfuls of...Black water! When my eyes adjust to the light i find Fraxia standing over me.
“Hey are you ok now? Sorry about drowning you, unless you're still evil...then again i am dunking you in evil water...let me rephrase that, are you still insanely pissed at me?’
*Cough Cough*
“Yes i am still angry at you! Why are you trying to drown me!”
“Huh, guess the curse is gone. Before whenever i tried to drown you you would try and grab something sharp and stab me with it and yell stuff at me like, and i quote, “Bitch. Go eat knives and take a shit in you fathers mouth” and then you would try to stab me.” she said.
‘WHAT! What curse is she talking about! And why am i trying to stab people! What happened?!’
______________________
POV Fraxia
“OK, by the glazed over, expressionless face you have been making for the last 5 minutes that you need your space. Why don’t i go over there and see what this “Other me thing” that gluttony the asshole who refuses to give his name is talking about. Join me when you finish sorting through you problems, OK?”
The first 6 times i tried to bath her in the water she would wake up as soon as she touched the water and start flailing about trying to stab me and curse me. Although, no i definitely approve of my decision to not tell her what she tried to do with the creepling corpse. Oh the poor animal. Even by my standards that was cruel, and i regularly dream of castrating immortals.
It took me a total of 7 times of running after her, refilling the chest and knocking Mirana out for her to finally be rid of the curse. She’s probably gonna start feeling those bumps on her head in about 5 minutes so until then i’m going to head out of throwing range until she stops staring at nothing. In my defence though refused to swallow the water so technically this whole thing is her fault. Although now that we have the some of this corruptive water she can move around in the treasury unhindered. So i guess it sort of balances out.
Kyanu said lay low but i doubt that we can lay low after what happened in the temple thing. I took a little stroll through there. I couldn't find anyone. Considering there were probably hundreds of monsters in cages and tens of thousands of Creeplings in there...first priority find out what happened.
‘OK Gluttony, but seriously. What the fuck.’
‘Kekeke, i don’t know what you’re talking about.”
‘*Yawn* Is it morning already daddy?’ Came a new voice in my head.
‘...oh yeah i now see there is no way you could have had anything to do with this.’
‘Kekekeke, I’m afraid that you are mistaken. This was a product of your actions not mine.’
'By the way, what happened to your favorite arguing buddy, Kaylinth?'
'She is occupied right now. Come back later kekekeke.'
‘Yeah well regardless you ate so many creeplings that i haven’t seen one that wasn't dead and half eaten in the 2 hours i have been conscious and all the monsters in the cages in the temple to boot.’
‘Just a wake up snack.’
‘And then there’s the matter of why the fuck i can’t open my menu right now. What in the nine hells and her rulers fiery fingers did you do.’
‘kekekeKEKEKEKE, i did you a favor is what i did. I may have reactivated you’re mutation process with you’re emotional distress as the key. You’re body is now at it’s most pliable state. So i thought i would invest a little in my current host and improve the design.’
‘Are you my mommy? Daddy said you were always angry and annoyed?’
‘...little me that was recently born, how about you go back to sleep for a moment. I need to talk to you “daddy” about a few things’
‘OK’ And with that the little girl personality fell silent.
‘Now now you pesky little parasite. I think it’s time that we discuss your future and how you're going to help me. Or we i can order you into the next piece of treasure i pass and watch as felt it.
After a few minutes of waiting Mirana finally decides to join us on our exit of this hell hole. In the back of the temple we found a room full of mirrors, all clouded and dark except one. In that one mirror we could see a frozen picture of me and Silva in our positions before we were pulled into this nightmare land. After making sure Mirana gets through i turn around and walk back into main room. In the back was a grand pedestal, broken down by all the fighting that went on.
I go behind it and a secret passage into a cave like chamber. I had always wondered where the dungeon core was and what it looked like. The only reason i found it was because Kyanu told me were it was and what i needed to do. Even without her telling me i had already formed my own theory based on what Solomon had said.
In the center of the room stood a golden crystal as tall as me that provided the only light within the cave.
“Can you understand me?”
I got no response but i knew she was there. Solomon said that he had been imprisoned, under his castle, as if buried by the burden of his own kingdom. Mirana had been originally with her sister Zamora, betrayed yet again by the people she trusted. I have so far met the father, the daughters, the monsters that broke down the castle gates out of insanity and now…
The golden crystal pulsed as if to answer.
“I’ll take care of her Ms. Solomon. I can’t give her back family but i will take care of her.”
If Mirana was to ever learn that her mother was the core of the dungeon that she had died to form, she would never leave this place. Due to Mr. M’s actions though, as horrific they may have been, she now has a new mortal body and is no longer bound to this place like her sister and father were. A new chance without the burden of a kingdom or failing kingdom to tie her down.
The crystal shined brightly for a moment and i felt a warm presence descend on me.
You have been blessed by [Mother of Peace and Vision]. Part of the blessing shall be materialized into [Necklace of Wonder and Insanity]
Titles bestowed:
True conqueror of [Asylum of the Queen labyrinth]
Daughter of Incarnation of Peace
Friend of the Fae
Hidden Title Removed:
Orphan of Another World
I look towards the crystal and bow respectively.
“Thank you…”
I leave the room and carefully hide the entrance once more. I make my way back to the mirror room and leave the labyrinth.
