"To cause havoc, or not to cause havoc. That is the question," I muttered once more to myself, as the world around my person delved into fearful chaos brought on by my gleefully cheering servants. Of whom charged through the encampment full of the unaware and ill equipped. "Hmm," my eyes turned towards the female tiger-kin, as her body was frozen in a state of suspended animation before my self.
"Perhaps I should-"
"Monster! What have you done to our boss?!" Cried out several female Kin who wore the same strange outfit as the one before my being. Each of them wielded either an iron sword or battle axe, then charged towards my position. However, each were repelled away after striking an intangible barrier about the area in front of my eyes.
"It's a conjurer," growled another of their group, as they continued to fling themselves at my person to no avail, "Attack its sides and back to weaken its magicks!" They did so, as I simply rolled my eyes at such paltry antics of these females before my person.
"It's not working," cried out a third, of whom dashed to the side just as a ball of orange flame flew out from behind its body, striking my barrier with a great roar. However, such tricks would not work upon my person, of which caused a spark of despair to ignite within their hearts.
Mentally, I sighed at each of them, and raised up a clawed forefinger to point towards the conjurer who was currently intoning another spell. Unfortunately for it, a beam of silver energy rushed from my position, striking it in the chest and disintegrating its body to ash and dust. "Wha-?" Began another, as I opened my maw wide and breathed a gout of emerald flames towards the larger portion of the group. Many of whom scattered from such a sight, whilst the rest screamed in pain as the flames from my person held onto my acidic properties. Which, of course, caused their bodies to melt as well as burn from such an application. After such an event, I simply ignored them as I lifted the frozen body of the tiger-kin and strode forward towards the nearest line of trees.
During this time, many of these Kin and Beastfolk continually attacked my person, but all were ignored as my barrier repelled each and every one of them. Though, there were still a few females in their odd clothing which were very persistent in acquiring my attention in order to try and ambush my person with their childish antics. Of which caused something within my person to snap, as I called upon many of my Dolls. To these I ordered them to capture those of whom wore such strange garments as the Kin in my arms, and bring them to my person.
These females and odd males would soon learn the price of annoying my person, whilst the rest of my servants continued to attack the rest. Later, there will be a time in which they will mourn, but as my personal servants, each have been granted a total of five lives in order to "respawn". Once these lives have been expended, then they will be left to rot wherever they had fallen.
Many of you seem confuse, so allow my mind to explain slowly.
The world we live in, as with all other worlds, are under the category of "Game Worlds". Each of them, including this world of ours, has a variety of rules and guidelines it must follow in order to achieve such a status. For instance, if one were to focus upon their inner selves, you would be able to see words and numbers of what each of your strengths and weaknesses are. However, this is an archaic system which has never been fully eradicated. Certainly, one may call upon such a thing, and the only reason why it had not been removed is due to laziness.
In any case, those of whom perished alongside those of whom they attacked merely appeared within a void world where they will rest and sleep until I call upon their aid once more. This void world, as many well know, is merely a world devoid of life and light. It is mostly associated with such abilities called "Inventory" and "Magic Bag", where everything placed within such a space is kept as perfect and pristine as the day it was found. This also included living beings, and those of whom were close to death.
Yes. Those of whom were near Death's door, or who were within her grasp could escape such a fate by being placed within this void space. Though, of course, if one does not have a way to return, then they are forever stuck within such a place for all time. No. A god, even one such as myself, cannot access such a place if the one who created the space escaped within it. There are rules within the realm of gods that must be followed, and this is one such rule.
Ah, but I digress.
As I made it to the tree line, I was approached by Morticia. Of whom stopped to stare at the odd Kin in my arms, whilst I looked upon the red-furred beast within hers. "And this is?" We both asked at the same time. She smirked for a time, until she noticed my emotionless response and sighed.
"The female in your arms must be of some import for you to bring it here. Whereas this thing was what kept their barrier aloft. No," she shook her head slowly, "we do not know what it is, as those of whom were near it perished after trying to attack us."
"A pity," my voice lightly shook the earth around us, "No matter. Take these two back to our base of operations," the Kin was deposited into her arms, of whom protested greatly and whined about being a mule of some sort. Whilst I ignored her protest and called out, "Suun. Return to my side."
The silvered dragon shot down from its position within the clouds, bringing with it three shivering and soaked creatures upon its back. These three were, of course, Siuun, San'yuu, and Shoriin. Shoriin, the basilisk, growled with disdain at being left behind and cried out with hunger from its mental self, whilst the others shivered and sneezed as though ill.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
With a sigh and a roll of my eyes, I waved a clawed hand over their bodies. An arc of silvered energy washed over their bodies, warming and revitalising them after being subjected to the cold for so long. Mentally sighing, I reached into my void space in order to pull out a cooked thigh of what was once a deer. This caused all four to stare at it with great hunger. The fourth being Suun, of whom had pseudo organs in place just in case it ever became a living dragon.
Once more, I mentally sighed at their antics, and withdrew more haunches of meat. These were then tossed in their general directions, whilst the thigh of roasted deer meat was held up for the small basilisk to tear into. Of course, it tried to pull the meat away from my person, but could not due to our strength difference.
As I watched it, my mind became calm as though I was watching a child. Yes. Such a thing will relax my person, but only to a point. In this instance, I was calm as a wave of peace washed over my body. 'I believe I missed this feeling,' mentally I spoke to nothing, but the world within my mind. However, the small creature heard my thoughts, and cocked its head toward its right foreleg. It then exuded a curious shrill towards my thoughts, of which caused my own lips to smirk in response.
Slowly, I reached out to stroke the head of Shorrin, only to stop as a sharp cry pierced through the forest. This caused the four to stiffen, whereas I growled from the shattering of my calmed mind. Straightening my back, I turned towards the general direction of such a noise, and strode forward with the intent of inflicting quite the reckoning upon those of whom would disturb my desire for peace.
For a time, I continued forward at a set pace in order to ease my mind from the madness setting in slowly, until I finally came upon those of whom would create such a disturbance upon our senses. This came in the form of several bear and wolf beastmen tearing at the clothing, and pawing at the exposed skin, of one of my rare female servants.
Now, when I say "rare female servants", I mean just that, as nearly all are male. No. It is not a preference for such creatures, only that many of them are not at all comfortable around those of whom would rape and torture those of the opposite sex. This seemed to cause their minds to seek work and servitude elsewhere. Whereas those of whom were willing to venture forth in my services will find my males to be less receptive towards themselves.
Yes. My female servants have more protections than my males, but not in the way many would believe. No. As these females are ruthless in their work, and the protections placed upon them are for those around them.
However, "Let me go," came the panicked cry of she who was far too young to be within my employ. This one was a Succubus, but one of youth rather than maturity. Her skin was as white-pink as any Kin or human's would be, but she had a pair of leather wings as long as her arms attached to her waist, and a tail half the length of her height of one hundred and thirty centimetres. Yes. She was small, as she was still a child.
On the other hand, her hair was the colour of bright blood, whilst her eyes were orbs of bright amber full of tears from the actions of those around her body. The clothing of which she wore, though heavily torn, was of a tight fitting garment beneath a large tunic. The tearing of her clothing was enough to reveal her small chest and rear end, as those around her grinned with an odd expression about themselves and discussed a variety of ideas as I came upon them.
"How much do you think she'll sell with the slavers?" A dark-furred wolf beastman asked those around it.
"Don't know," replied a brown-furred bear beastman, of whom reached out to touch the tail of the young Succubus, "Never seen anything like it."
"My Lord God," the girl-child cried out upon noticing my visage striding forwards with great anger upon seeing this event, "Please save me!"
The others turned slowly, as though their bodies were in a vat of tree sap. However, I was in a rage state, and my arms snapped forwards with my clawed fingers splayed and hooked forwards. This caused several of their bodies to stiffen, as their maws opened to wail a great wail of pain and anguish. For the front half of their bodies slowly twisted in time to my own clawed hands, of which rotated in opposite directions of themselves.
These actions continued until the front halves of their bodies were upside down in congruent with their back halves. This then caused the whole of their organs to spill out onto the ground below. However, I being who I am, did not allow them to die. No. I simply left them in that state of eternal torment, and moved onto the others with eyes wide from the madness in which had thoroughly invaded my mind.
For you see, my dear audience, those of whom would dare harm or abuse a child deserves a fate worse than death, and this is what I inflicted upon each of them. As to its name, perhaps you would recognise it: "Rotation of The Clockwork Master".
Ah, a few of you have shivered. That is good, and for those of whom who have not heard of such a thing know this. This punishment is reserved for child abusers and those of whom had conducted traitorous acts, as this will keep them in a bubble of time which has slowed to a snail's pace. This is simply to allow the offending party to suffer for up to a full cycle before ultimately dying. However, during this time, they will feel everything.
As the madness receded from my mind, I noted nearly a dozen beastmen suspended within the trees with their bodies half turned from my will. Of course, I was shocked by such a display, but brushed it off as I turned towards the child. Of whom was currently crying from relief as I had come to personally save her from such a frightful occurrence. This allotted her to run into my arms, and grip my chest as I turned my back from the stench of blood and gore, and towards the general direction of my base of operations.
