No Man's Land. Tiamat's territory and home too all her monster kin. It also houses a special race of humans known as the Tonerins, a powerful race of humans that have made bonds with the children of Tiamat's.
In a desert like area near the a massive river, A hand suddenly appeared from nothing and began to tear space it self. Ripping open a portal for both Zecatate and Thaine too emerge from.
Stepping out onto the hot sand and feeling the strong breeze raced across his face somewhat briefly bringing Zecatate a moment of peace.
Thaine however gaze upon the endless waste land of sand, nothing but skeletons and half eaten carcasses." ...... a shit hole." He said while continuing too gaze about.
"Mmmm...so this is what it feels like." Zecatate stated looking towards the sky, however his moment of peace shortly ended when he inhaled an outrageous stench. Dropping too his knee holding his nose and mouth as the smell was ungodly.
Quickly Zecatate glanced over looking for Thaine. Concern whether he had also fell victim to the stench, but too is dismay he spotted Thaine taking a shit only a couple feet away.
Zecatate froze for a moment completely overwhelmed by thoughts, most of which were what was Thaine eating before to make him release such terror unto the world and did he eat the rotting carcass beside him.
Thaine however seemed too be immune too the sent, moments after he finished with his business and was preparing too bury it. He felt an ominous presence emerging behind him. Swiftly Thaine spun about only too witness Zecatate hovering above him, fully engulf in his black aura.
"Zecatate...are you alright?" He asked,
"We were only here for mere moments and you've already tried too murder me and all that exist within this area with that shit. I am A GOD! and yet I was brought in my knees by its stench alone.......burying that won't work." Zecatate stated with pure malice in his eyes.
Quickly engulfing Thaine's shit with his black aura, Zecatate erase it's very existence. "There now no one can be hurt by you now"
Completely baffled by what he just saw Thaine took a moment too understand what was going on as Zecatate was now placing seals around the area in which Thaine had shat.
"I guess I shouldn't go eating random meat then." Thaine thought to himself while fidgeting with his clothing.
Somewhere underneath No Man's Land's river.
Pooossshhh! Bursting forth from the river was a massive twohead serpent. His size so great that only a quarter of his body had actually emerged from the river. Yet he was already engulfing most of the riverside with his body.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!! Aguukkkkk!!!!... what is that wretched stench? I nearly suffocated from its terrible oder and I was meters beneath the river." The blood red head said,
"Evil...eeeeeeeviilllllll.....whatever being produce that stench must be erased from our world. I've....oh no. I lost my sense of smell......SON OF A WHORE!!" The silver blue head shouted.
Annoyed and frustrated the massive serpent began rolling and thrashing itself upon the sand, so much so that it started to create small sand storms.
"HERE ME!!! SEEK AND BRING ME THE HEADS OF THOSE THAT DEAR TOO ENTER MOTHER'S HOME AND TAKE A SHIT!" The serpent bellow.
Somewhere across the desert. "You heard that right?" A monster like reptilian creature asked.
"Yup...most of the lesser beast will probably move on instinct following his orders." The other beast like creature stated.
Suddenly soaring over head was a chimera type monster and swiftly following behind him went a hoard of monster.
"Seems one of the plagues has already made their move." The reptilian monster stated, watching as several hundred monsters all rushing towards a strange presence within the territory.
"I'm surprised a Plague level is interested in this. Usually they only clash with the Tonerins, so whoever got their attention must be strong." The beast creature stated as he and the other one headed deeper West.
Tonerins clan border watch. "I don't believe it.. a plagues is leading an entire platoon of monsters towards the river." Said one of guards.
"Boss! Huggi is here!." Shouted the another guard. Emerging out from the Tonerin's border forte which was built from the shell of a fortress turtle.
"Ey! Get your ass down here and head over towards the river. That's an order from this area ruler.", Huggi stated as he waited for a reply,
"I hate being bossed around...but if he gave the orders then it must be important, also a plague class monster like Huggi isn't likely too ever be interested in invaders." The border control leader thought placing his hand upon his face and sighing.
"damn it....ey! Go tell lemon bring her forces to the river upon the cliff." He order as he along with a troop of border guards descended down with towards Huggi and made way towards the river.
At the river
Both Zecatate and Thaine had began to walk West of No Man's Land. Following a massive river that flowed throughout the land,
Miles and miles they covered while the heat of the sun scorching from above.
"WHY THE FUK ARE WE WEARING THESE GODDAME ROBES!!" Thaine shouted as he wrestled the cloak off.
"Zecatate...we've been attracting company for sometime now, they smell like humans and monsters. I've also catch the sent of one of Tiamat's children." Thaine informed.
Glancing briefly Zecatate takes a mental note of their surroundings.
"Thaine, at this very moment we are no longer the god of darkness or destruction. We are high Demons looking to start a war and make allies, our true identities should only be reviled to other gods that are on our side." Zecatate explained,
"Mmmmmm.....I get it. Sooo I should kill all these watchful eyes too be sure then." Thaine said cracking his knuckles,
"No. No no." Zecatate quickly responded grabbing Thaine.
"we only fight If we cant reason with them. Now it's going to take couple days too reach Tiamat." Zecatate informed him.
"Why? With the current strength of our Vessels we could make it a short trip." Thaine rebutted about to transport the both of them to Tiamat.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
WHAM!!
"Agggrrhhh....what the black. Aaaahhh...why?" Thaine asked as he held his stomach in pain.
"Thaine.. if you haven't noticed yet I'll be glad too fill you in. We are DEMONS!!! And if we were too just appeare infornt of Tiamat.
She would kill us on sight, not too mention we would attract the attention of the angels." Zecatate explained.
"Arrgghh...I get it. i get it. Damn... were you trying too kill me?....so are we too walk the whole way?" He asked.
"Yes." Zecatate coldly replied.
"Wait. Yes too the kill me?......... Or walking? And what about the clans and Tiamat's children. They'll surely get in our way and make thing difficult." Thaine added trying to catch his breath.
Zecatate smiled. "That's what I want, at the moment we are unknown and we still haven't fully tested out our Vessels either. So in short we'll make a name for ourselves by beating the shit out of Tiamat's children which will hopefully allow us too gain an audience with her." Zecatate told him with a light pat on the back.
While walking along the river the two suddenly came too a halt. A familiar presence was lurking about and with it were several beast and clan members. All surrounding the two.
"So they've completely surrounded us now." Thaine mention while grinning.
"bet it was that two-headed punk that sent them."
"It would seem that way. Little wimp was always a pain." Zecatate stated,
"Are those Tonerins?? Aren't they a sub race of humans that live under the protection of Tiamat?" Thaine asked.
"I heard that at one point they were also your followers." Thaine added while he began too stretch.
Zecatate stood still watching a vast amount monsters, along with several Tonerins gathering upon the sand dunes blocking them from traversing further. Tugging at his robe, Thaine pointed out that there were more on the leftside of them.
Stand high upon cliffs that face the river.
"Zecatate, they've corner us against this river." Thaine said as he turned to face the river.
Zecatate still was contemplating as too how they could avoid conflict, he knew that the Tonerins were a warrior clan who would only submit too an overwhelming enemy. While Zecatate was lost in thought Thaine was suffering from shock.
"THAT COLD BLOODED WHORE!!! AHHHHHH!!!" He roared slamming his tails against the ground repeatedly causing it to rumble.
"Thaine calm yourself." Zecatate intervene, resting his hand upon his shoulders. "Hells wrong with you now?" He asked,
With tears in his eyes, Thaine pointed to the crown of horns on his head. "She...your...your evil woman didn't only shorten the original height of my Vessel but she also added a crown of horns too it." Thaine said in a soft but angered tone,
"Pufff.....doan....puffff...doan let it upset you. Think of it as a crown,..... yes that's it. We are a high class of Demons 'Demon lords' and what lord doesn't have a crown". Zecatate stated effortlessly managing to convince Thaine that his Vessel's look suited him.
Looking from upon the sand dune stood four individuals who stood apart from the rest, each with an enormous amount divine energy.
"Gill. I've seen many Demons but I've never seen any like those two." One of the four stated, besides him stood a large centipede humanoid who was in deep focus staring at Thaine.
"Huggi, you've been starting at the short one for some time now." Said another of the four. She was a member of the Tonerin's sentries, an elite group among the clan known for their inhuman strength.
"Lemon. Signal too the others on the cliff too wait, I along with Huggi will go out and meet them." Said Gill, while the two headed out lemon began preparing.
"We were told too kill the invaders", said one of the four. He was one of Tiamat's descendants, a half dragon half beast. His scales covered his body Inna dark red colour , four eyes upon his face with bat like ears and fangs. With bat like wings for hands and a spiked back along with massive talons for feet, made him a monster not too be messed with.
"Yesssssss, but Gill wants too avoid conflict but those Demon have an unusual air around them." Lemon stated, making here way cross too the cliff. Stopping briefly lemon glanced back.
"De-demi, no one's stopping you from taking action." Lemon stated with a wicked smile.
Back at the river Zecatate and Thaine were awaiting the both Gill and Huggi.
"so we're going too kill these two first then run through the others?" Thaine asked, "by the way why does the human one wear such odd clothing. I mean he fashion himself in bones and some sort of beast skin." Thaine pointed out.
"No.....must I repeat each time? We are going too avoid all conflicts if possible, the only ones we'll attack on sight are the five disasters. Besides, apart from Tiamat they aren't any threats here." Zecatate explained again.
"Also were in a desert a waste land to be exact and the Tonerins use the skin or fur from the monsters or beast to clothe themselves." Zecatate explained.
With a blank expression on his face Thaine began to shuffle.
"Sooo how hard should I go against these two?" Thaine ask as he began too shadow box in perpetuation.
THUD! With a solid blow too the head, drilling Thaine into the sand.
"You idiot.....shadow boxing? Really?" Zecatate asked.
"also doan insult their way of dressing when you chose too wear a somesort of weird skirt." Zecatate added, questioning himself whether Thaine had suffered brain damage or if his brain had stop maturing.
Making their way closer, Gill began to question the sanity of the two since their behavior was rather rash and odd.
"They're quite violent towards each other." Huggi stated,
"No. I believe that the small one is an idiot, who would shadow box in a situation like this." Gill said. "Also why I he wearing a skirt?" Gill question.
"He could've just been existed and it's a kilt not a skirt." Huggi stated.
Staring blankly at Huggi, Gill shook his head. "You need too stop, clearly something is wrong with that guy." Gill stated,
The pair had finally reached both Zecatate and Thaine, they were massive. Both towering over Gill who by no means was a small man, after the intimidating glaring had cease. The four began too talk.
Zecatate began too inform them that he along with Thaine were a high class of Demons called lords. He also spoke about how they were on a mission too rebuild the following of Zecatate too all the races.
Thaine was completely confused by what Zecatate was saying and it was clear on his face that he had thought they were going too do something else.
This caused Gill and Huggi too become slightly suspicious of Zecatate speech since his partner was clearly unaware of it.
"Pissssss...Huggi." Gill whispered calling him aside. "This guy has too be lying, I mean his own partner looks like it's the first time he's ever heard of his plan." Gill whispered,
"Ey...Zecatate. I thought we came here too start a war. What with this whole following of you shit?... wait, why you and not me?" Thaine asked,
"You......"
Zecatate paused briefly as he was about too break character and choke out Thaine.
"We just can't go round saying we want war. That's not how its works. First we'll create a cause to fight for, then we'll bring others too our cause. Second we'll say our cause is the best and challenge anyone that stands against it. Third we'll then start a war in the name of that cause too kill everyone." Zecatate explained again,
"Okay...but why you? Ain't I a much better fit too start a war? Also is it necessary for your face too be this close too mine? I mean can see through your pupils." Thaine rebutted,
"Yes. Cause this seems too be the only way you understand what I be saying. When I'm pressing my face into yours." Zecatate responded,
Confused and somewhat attracted too Zecatate and Thaine's faces being pressed against each other, Gill asked Thaine what cause them too want too rebuild the following of Zecatate the fallen. Since Thaine obviously was the idiot of the two.
"Puffffff..."Thaine snickered quickly holding his mouth.
Zecatate suddenly fell too his knees, it was over for them. Knowing his fate was up too how Thaine would answer Gill's question gave him heart burn.
"What's so funny? And is your friend having some sort of meltdown?" Huggi asked.
"Fallen? Why does the god of darkness has the title of fallen?" Thaine asked with is tone and mannerisms completely changed, causing both Gill and Huggi too shiver.
"You're Demons and don't know your creator's story?" Gill question. But neither Zecatate or Thaine responded.
"Alright then. It goes like this, Zecatate god of darkness had become tired of Etano's rule and was plotting against him. His plan was to create an endless night, which would greatly enhance him and all of his Demon kind. However Junorra goddess of nature stood in his way, so Zecatate along with the other gods that sided with him attack Junorra in the night hoping it kill her quickly. But thanks too her children and the gods that weren't with Zecatate, they came together and managed to free Junorra. Who then defeated Zecatate. She was even so merciful that she allowed him and his followers too live." Gill told them,
Zecatate dropped too his face and began crying, while Thaine's serious vibe broke and he burst out laughing. This caused both Gill and Huggi too doubt what they have been taught a bit.
"That lying ass beach......how is she not the goddess of bullshit?" Thaine question as he continued to roll around laughing.
However Zecatate wasn't having it. Immediately he stood up tears still flowing he then began too inform them of the actual story behind the first war of the gods. His words moved both Gill and Huggi who were under the belief that Zecatate was evil.
"Now you understand why we're trying too rebuild the following of Zecatate not only too spread the truth but also. Tear down that lying goddess Junorra, she is nothing but a controlling goddess who rules with fear." Zecatate stated.
"Yes." Thaine added suddenly switching back to being serious, "we want all of the races too be truly free from Junorra's raine and too do that we need to rebuild the following of Zecatate so that he can regain his strength and challenge her once more." Thaine announced in an exciting manner,
Both Gill and Huggi were now completely convinced by Zecatate's charisma, "by the way what are your names?" Huggi asked.
"I'm Soarra." Zecatate responded,
"Thaine god of...."THOODMMM!!!, "arrrrgggghhhh..my head." Groaned Thaine as Zecatate had swiftly bashed in the back of his skull.
"I'm sorry he likes too make jokes. He's throne, my brother." Zecatate explained wearing a suspicious grin.
Back on the sand dunes De-demi had began rallying the troops with his speech. "We are the shields and spears of No Man's Land and we have an obligation too protect it from any outside invaders. Both Gill and Huggi dear too go against our leader's orders,...WHO ARE THEY!! too think they know better than him."
"He's right,"
"Yeah, he is."
"Bina words are law and we shouldn't question it."
"Right!"
"Sooo. What are you still doing here?" De demi asked as he took too the sky.
"My winged brothers follow me and those on the ground charge with me. KILL THESE DEMONS!' Roared De demi,
"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!" Screamed hundreds of beast and clansmen as they charged towards the river.
At the river, "I'm gonna guess that this wasn't your call." Thaine said with a smirk,
"Nope. Lemon must have said something too him and now he's fully committing too an all out assault." Gill stated, "at least my men didn't partake. Mmmmm lemon is tricky." Gill thought to himself.
"Ey....we could use this opportunity too test out our Vessels." Thaine suggested,
"You just wanna fight....don't kill anyone." Zecatate stated resting his hand upon Thaine's shoulder, remember only use the amount needed too incapacitate them. Don't need to be drawing too much attention."
"Yeah yea yea...break their souls not their bodies ..bout time!" Thaine said with a smirk, launching himself forward.
On the cliff watching
"Let see what you really are Demons." Lemon stated as she had moved Gill's troops over too the cliff and was now in charge or a large platoon of Tonerins.
