New Creatures - chapter 2

New Creatures - chapter 2

When I traveled from my home to the pure white void, it felt smooth. There was no sign that I passed through the something other than the uneasy feeling that the something was emitting.

Now when I traveled through the dark red array of circles, I felt cold and nauseous as we moved through what felt like an extreme amount of resistance. I definitely didn't like the cold or the nauseous feelings, but the strong resistance made me feel pretty strong, even though my kidnapper was definitely doing all the work.

The inside of the array of circles was... disgusting to say the least. As much as I liked the different colors, this was just too much. Colors moved and became other colors constantly, and sometimes they expanded and shrunk or became longer or shorter. It was definitely a strange sight, and I did not like it one bit. Sadly, I couldn't do much else other than look at the weirdness of this world and just think.

I feel like this is too much activity for a being like me who was just created a bit ago. Firstly, I was somehow supposed to turn a world pitch black by blotting the sun or something like that. Then I got kidnapped and dragged through something that I could not describe, then something invaded my nonexistent body, and then I was kidnapped again, and now I'm here...

Now that I think about it, why did I get kidnapped?

Hey why did you kidnap me?

...

Silence, the kidnapper didn't even show a reaction to my attempts of a conversation!

Hey don't ignore me!

...

Was the kidnapper even sentient? It wouldn't make sense as I saw it hesitate when it was dragging me through the something. Well since it didn't want to talk, I'll just have a one sided conversation with it.

----------------------------------------

So that brings us to the present, as you can clearly tell I have little worth as I was just created not too long ago.

...

Huh it really was not sentient. Now I feel like an idiot, ah well at least the one-sided conversation killed some time.

Oo hey blue rectangle is back!

[Title Received]

And now it's gone. I wonder what it keeps repeating, I'll just ask my Mother once this is all over... I am going back, right? Ah best to not dwell too deep into such thoughts, don't want to have another crisis again!

Oh hey it looks like I can see something in the distance- And we just went straight through it. I think I'm used to moving through strange things one finds in an infinitely spanning world. This new world looked like my home, but it felt different. It felt too small, and there was a constant noise in the distance.

Once again I felt the kidnapper loosen itself across me and then I saw that the blackness melted away completely, revealing a very large space with colors that didn't change nor was the world a single color. I looked around gleefully as I felt and heard things constantly. The deformed shapes, that were connected to me, swayed with the same excitement I had.

The space, that I was now in, had brownish walls with bits of dark green sticking out of the walls. Below me was a circle that looked similar to the dark red circle I saw back in the white world, but a lot simpler and way larger. I didn't see anything above me and came to conclusion that there was no top.

A pile of dark red, with bits of light gray, thick lines that had a wider top and bottom on them, were sitting to the side on the brownish floor which seemed pristine and smooth. And then I saw 10 creatures that wore a dark red shell that touched the floor. Their shells were adorned with black lines. Near the top of the shell, the dark red surrounded a dark center.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Oo, it seemed like they could freely move the shell as one of the creatures had the top of the shell taken off revealing a dirty sickly pale inner body. It had weird looking black circles on the top of its body, and it had eyes that were a strange yellow with a red circle surrounding a smaller black circle.

Was Mother similar to this species? Hmm, I'll have to ask her next time.

The creature with its top shell part down was staring at me with what seemed like excitement, or was that confusion? Anyways it seemed like they were very interested with me, wait no! They were interested with the shapes that were following my eyes around! Yeah, I'm not surprised, after all they were beautiful-

"What is that... Master Zoltan what did we summon?"

Oh I just noticed how quiet the space was until one of the creatures talked. I didn't really like that sound as it sounded hoarse.

"I... I do not know- this definitely isn't a demon."

The creature with its shell down- I guess its name is Master Zoltan- moved its the lower part of its face to produce a horrible noise. As curious as I was about how Master Zoltan made the horrendous noise, I was more curious about what this 'demon' was supposed to be.

"Why is it so fluffy? Didn't we ask the dark spirits to summon, 'The One Who Devours Light'? Maybe we didn't have enough sacrifices?"

It seemed as the earlier silence dissipated as the creatures spoke amongst one another, until one of them talked loudly, this of course was Master Zoltan.

"Why doesn't everyone just [Appraisal] it!? It looks weak enough that even if it attacked us, nothing would happen to us!"

It seemed Master Zoltan was the smartest of this group as one by one the creatures made sounds of agreement. And then silence descended on the large space once more as the 10 creatures stared at me. I didn't know if this was strange or not, so I just looked back at them.

"Hey is anyone else getting no response with [Appraisal]?"

I heard agreements and Master Zoltan spoke up again.

"Apostal Holt it might be because we are too far away and that's it too small, go up to it."

One of the creatures- Apostle Holt- creeped closer and closer towards me, and that's when I noticed how big these creatures were and how many details I missed. Even though Apostal Holt was not beside me, I felt small. Before we were the same size, now I barely reached half of its size. On the right side of its shell, I saw a dark red line with 3 small squares stuck to it.

"I still can't see it's [Status]! I will go closer!"

Apostal Holt talked loudly to the other creature before pulling a long black line that had deep blue small lines curving around the entire thing. It had two smaller lines on its end that were pointy, out of its shell and pointed it at me.

Do all of these creatures produce awful sounds?

I couldn't help but think how sad these creatures were since they couldn't talk with the same beauty my Mother has. I then noticed how Apostal Holt was creeping even slower towards me. It was an interesting sight, was this some sort of ritual that these creatures performed when they saw shapes? Very weird.

I didn't know what to do so all I did was stay still and watch Apostal Holt creeping closer to me while stopping every now and then.

----------------------------------------

It was kind of frightening seeing something become larger and larger when it was moving closer to me. When Apostal Holt was right in front of me, it towered over me, but it wasn't as big as Mother's eye.

"I still can't read its [Status], also for some reason it's the size of a baby! Aren't demons supposed to be gigantic!?"

Apostal Holt suddenly talked very loudly, which made me twitch at the volume and the disgusting tone. This small movement did not go unnoticed by Apostal Holt as it suddenly struck right in front of me, and for some odd reason, small pale blue lines appeared in the air where the ground was struck, crackling madly.

"Holt! Don't kill the creature! We don't know what will happen! The dark spirits found it worthy enough!"

Master Zoltan talked way louder than before.

"Sorry Master! The creature twitched!"

"What!? Are you a coward!? Do you want to go through your training again!?"

"No! I'm just making sure it knows what will happen if it acts out of line!"

That seemed to appease Master Zoltan, or was it just Master? And was Apostal Holt, just Holt? Well it definitely shortened their names.

Well, I was a bit curious at what would happen if I kept moving the shapes around, as they seemed to follow my will. So that's what I did, I moved the triangular shapes up and down and moved side to side out of sheer curiosity. That seemed to anger Holt as it once again talked loudly.

"Creature I command you to stop moving at once!"

Hey I have a name, I'm Eclipse!

"Creature I said stop moving!"

Call me by my name, and maybe I will!

I decided to do a little twirl with the shapes, which forced my eyes to follow the shapes. Weird. When I stopped the twirl, I noticed that Holt was now shaking, a defense mechanism?

"Master! Was the summoning circle made correctly!? The creature isn't following my commands!"

Holt turned the top of its shell towards Master.

"Yeah I know it isn't following your commands! I'm not deaf or blind! And we made it so the circle would only command demons! It's not a demon-"

Whatever Master was going to say was interrupted by a very loud noise. This caused the ground to shake as a large yellow and orange sphere started to expanded from where it suddenly appeared, engulfing three of the red shells.
