The Empty Valley

The air was cold and silent, the only sound being heard was the cool wind. Suddenly there was a deep loud voice that cut through.

“COME OUT!! I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR YOUR IDIOTIC GAMES!!” A tall man with long orange hair and brown eyes yells. He is standing on an open cliff, with small rocks lying around him.

“…Ngngh.” This made him roll his eyes. Zombie-like creatures with unhooked jaws and eyes hanging from their sockets crawl from the ground and slowly limp towards him.

“Tch… Sending those damn underlings. Couldn’t you be at least a little respectful, bitch?” He scowls. He reaches his hand out, the rocks around him floating and slowly forming into a large hammer. He grips the handle and dashes toward them jumping and slamming down.

A loud crash is heard causing a hole to be formed in the middle of the cliff nearly splitting it in half. The creatures fly back and land with a splat turning into black goop. The man stands at the edge of his destruction and looks down with disdain.

“Is this really all you’ve got Yin Xingjuan? Tch just proves how worthless my siblings are to have lost to you,” Theseus’s voice dripped with disdain as he shook his head. “Well, I suppose you’ll at least die in honor at the hands of ‘The Great Theseus, God of Creation’” he laughs as he hears commotion at the bottom of the hole. Theseus looks down and watches as the goop starts to move wrapping with each other. Slowly a large beast is formed and stares down at Theseus.

“HAHAHAHAHA Finally something more interesting. But no matter,” Theseus dashes toward the beast swinging his hammer down. The beast grabs the hammer throwing Theseus back.

Theseus lands with ease and slams down into the ground lifting large boulders and sending them toward the beast.

“RAAAAAAAAH,” the beast says as it runs toward Theseus swinging its arms. The boulders hit one of his legs knocking it down as it screams again. Theseus runs towards it grabbing a small rock from the ground. He jumps on the beast throwing the rock on it before jumping away.

Theseus puts his hands together as a bright aura surrounds him. The rock on the beast suddenly gets larger as it begins to crush the beast.

“AAARGH” the beast screams.

“You’re finished. Just give up already.” Theseus says as he stands on a rock and floats in the air. Theseus raised his hand, his aura blazing as he shouted, “Face divine punishment!”

A large meteorite begins to form as Theseus waves his arm. The meteorite slowly falls as the beast struggles to move under the large rock. There’s a loud boom as the beast screams one last time. Theseus lands on the ground silently.

“Are we done with these games now?” he says as he hears small footsteps behind him.

“Always. So. Aggressive…” a small and slightly childish voice spoke. Theseus swiftly turned around as he glared at the person. They have long silver hair with pink tips with pink and purple heterochromia eyes, small cracks seeming to replace their pupils as if a small motion with shatter their eyes to pieces, and a small mole on their chin. Suddenly the cliff shakes as the black goop from the beast rises and dashes toward them.

Theseus gets ready to fight but it goes past him and towards the mysterious person. They collect it in their veins causing them to shine black for a bit. They lean their head back and laugh.

“Look at you, so eager to fight,” Xingjuan said with a wicked grin. “You’ll end up just like the other gods.”

Xingjuan raises their arm, the black goo rising from their veins to form sharp black claws, as they dash at Theseus. He scoffs.

“Let’s finish this,” he raises his hand again, his aura shining brighter than ever as another meteor comes down. Xingjuan stops their attack and looks up. The meteor comes down and hits them. Theseus smiles before his face goes blank.

Suddenly the meteor gets cut in half as Xingjuan flies at him. Their sharp claws slash at him as he blocks. He then kicks them back knocking them to the ground and lands. The goo unbeknownst to him starts to drip into his skin.

“Is that all you-” Theseus starts to talk before gasping and clutching his chest as blood pours from his mouth. “h-huh?” He looks down and sees a hole in his chest with black goo around it. He slowly looks back up and notices his heart in Xingjuan’s hands, no longer sharp. They stare at him almost like a child before biting down on the heart smiling.

“It’s ironic. Your heart tastes sweeter than I expected,” Xingjuan said, laughing as they savored the moment before throwing it over the cliff. “Buh-bye,” they say as they tap Theseus knocking him back.

He grabs onto their shirt. “If I die then I’ll make sure you suffer for me and my siblings!” He glows. “Be crystalized.”

Theseus then falls off the cliff turning into rocks as they all land with small taps. Xingjuan looks down noticing that their arm is starting to crystallize. They stare in shock before smiling.

“HAHAHAHAHA… Oh how lucky I am. This is going to be so much fun,” they say as they teleport away. All that is left is a gentle breeze that sways over the destroyed battlefield.
