Ep 25: The Maroon Suns (VOLUME 4)

The little girl beside N in the cage scratches a hole into his paper bag, revealing his right eye to see hundreds of hooded figures standing forward to face Holly sitting on a throne formed out of bones.

One of the hooded figures walks up a set of stairs leading to Holly's throne.

The hooded figure takes a knee and places his right fist on the ground.

Hood: "I've found another offering my lord, accept..."

Holly rests her head on her hand.

Holly: "Accept?"

The hooded figure reveals a piece of paper with scratched writing on it.

Hood: "We found this paper attached to him...I believe that this could be some kind of trick."

Holly: "Hmm...no matter, we will add him to the feeding."

N: "Feeding? What the fuck are you feeding?"

N looks down to see the little girl in the cage with him hugging him.

N shakes the little girl off, causing her to hit her back on the bars of the cage.

N: "The fuck do think you're doing?"

Girl: "Aa... aah..."

N: "What, Did they cut your tongue or something?" (They really captured a little girl? What are they even trying to feed?)

Holly: "The feeding shall now commence!"

Holly pulls her pinky finger on her left hand and raises it high to the sky as everyone else in the room does it in sync.

Holly: "Bring in the first offering!"

3 red hooded figures open one of the nearby cages, revealing a blonde woman wearing a tank top and shorts.

Woman: "W-wait, WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS! W-WHAT DO YOU NEED? MONEY? I COULD GIVE YOU AS MUCH AS YOU WANT!"

One of the hooded figures puts the woman on their shoulder and walks away to place her on a giant stone tablet formed to look like a table.

Woman: "JUST LISTEN JUST THIS ONCE, YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE, I SWEAR ONCE MY DAD FINDS OUT-"

Another hooded figure walks over to the cage N and the little girl is contained in.

The hooded figure slowly reaches towards N as N prepares to bite back.

The hooded figure's hand turns direction to grab the little girl next to N in the cage then drags her out of the cage.

The little girl reaches her hand to N as she's taken out of the cage.

Little girl: "aahh...ahh...wahh..."

N: "Welp, Sucks for you. Now how do I get out of here?"

N struggles to get the rope wrapped around his wrists off but suddenly...

Deezle: "Need a bit of help there, bud?"

N turns around to see Deezle sitting and leaning against the bars of the cage.

N: "Who said you could barge around in my head."

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

Deezle: "Who's going to stop me?"

N: "Yeah, well, I don't need any help, and I sure as hell don't need it from you."

Deezle: "Wow, you're so fun to hang around...by the way, I wouldn't want to miss the main event."

N: "Main event?"

N looks over to see the woman and the little girl lying on the table.

N: "What are they-"

Deezle: "What do you think they mean by feeding?"

A giant shadow appears over the table with its limbs separated around like they're being held together by string, its mouth resembling that of a stag beetle, and its long and sharp claws, with its long and straight black hair reaching down to its back with point spikes coming out of it.

Holly approaches the table with the monster looming over her.

Holly: "The knife! before she loses control!"

A member gives Holly a knife with a red glowing blade.

The woman on the table starts to pant in fear.

Holly slits her right wrist as steaming and hot blood drips onto the woman's stomach, causing the woman to scream in pain.

Holly raises her arms straight and starts to chant as she rolls her eyes into the back of her head and she starts to drip blood from her eyes.

Holly: ".boϱ ɿυo ʇo ɘɔnɒlɒd ɘʜt ϱniqɘɘʞ no qɘtƨ txɘn ɿυo ɘd wollɒ...lɒvivɘɿ ɿυo moɿʇ ʜtϱnɘɿtƨ wɘn niɒϱ bnɒ blo niɒϱɘɿ ot niϱɘd υoγ ƨɒ ,tʇiϱ ƨiʜt tqɘɔɔɒ ,γmɿɒʜƆ tɒɘɿϱ ʜO"

The monster begins to devour the woman as she screams in pain at first then completely goes quiet.

N: "What the fuck..."

Deezle: "When did they learn Omen language?"

N: "Omen language?"

Deezle: "Remember that big wolf fuck that was talking weird then you could understand?"

N: "Yeah?"

Deezle: "Who do you think made you understand that language?"

N: "I would assume you also took my body for some kind of joy ride?"

Deezle: (He was still aware even when I possessed him?) Sorry, but I just had to get him back for what he did to me. You wouldn't get it."

N: "Yeah, and I don't plan to."

Silence fills the room between Deezle and N.

Deezle: "How long are you just gonna stay in this cage?"

N: "Well my sword's back at the school, and I don't suppose you would do anything?"

Deezle: "Maybe I will, maybe I won't I'm just here to enjoy the show."

A hooded figure opens the cage and throws the little girl back into the cage.

The little girl wakes up and runs over to hug N.

Deezle: "Wow, I didn't know you were a pedophile."

N: "You act like I know this little shit...wait, I thought they fed to that..whatever that thing."

Girl: "Ahh...aah.."

Deezle: "...ain't no way you were expecting an answer from a literal fetus."

N: "Don't you got anything else to do? I thought you were still trapped in that sword or whatever."

Deezle: "I possessed you, meaning that I'm now running around in your head. But now? I kinda wished I didn't because god damn are you depressing. (Not to mention, there's nothing else going on in there...it's like he's a fucking doll)

Jacob and everyone else are outside looking around all over Hestia.

Jacob: "Have you guys found anything?"

Cassandra: "Nope, it's like he's off the radar."

Jizzabelle: "Me and Ashlyn still haven't found a single trace of him either."

Jacob: "I don't get it...how could he just..."

Jacob gets a sudden chill down his back as he gets a vision of N with red bloodshot eyes floating over him.

Jacob opens a rift and drags everyone out.

Irina: "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS, JACOB?!?!?"

Jacob: "Shush!"

Cassandra: "I'm sure he's-"

Jacob: "Shush!"

Cassandra: "...don't you shush me..."

Jacob: "You don't hear that?"

Ashlyn: "Hear what?"

Jacob drops to his knees as he puts his right ear on the concrete of the road.

Jacob: "Some kind of chanting?"

Jacob hovers his hand over the concrete as he channels through the ground to find N's Syn.

N gets goosebumps all of a sudden.

Deezle: "What was that?"

N: "I don't know, I felt weird there."

Jacob: "I found him!"

Cassandra: "Where is he?"

Jacob: "They're underground!" (There was a cult underground the entire time? Who knows how long they've been around...maybe even before the synvasion...)

Ashlyn: "Well? What are we waiting for?"

Jacob: "I've got an idea..."

Jacob opens a rift and jumps into it then closes said rift.

A bunch of hooded figures are grabbed by the legs from a rift under them and then are sucked into the rift.

A rift opens up in front of the group and a bunch of red hoods come out of it.

Jacob: "Put those on, then jump in! I'll go save N in the meantime!"

Jacob sinks back into the rift.

N shakes the little girl off of him.

N: "Okay seriously kid, what the hell is wrong with you."

The little girl slowly points at N.

Girl: "Ahh...AA..."

N: "Okay, you're just not gonna listen, are you?"

A hooded figure approaches N's cage.

N: "Oh, is the monster hungry again?"

A hooded figure takes their hood off revealing to be Jacob.

Jacob: "Wow, you look like shit."

N: "Yeah, I wonder who got me here..."

Jacob: "Let's bust you out of here, yeah?"

Jacob looks over to see the little girl.

Jacob: "You got captured too, huh? Don't worry, we'll get you out of here!"

??: "HEY!"

Jacob puts his hood back on and turns around to see Holly standing behind him.

Holly: "I thought I told you to save that one?"

Jacob: "Shit."
