Celestial contract (pilot)
The year was 2100. Where? Funny you ask. Outside my local superstore. Where it all began.
“CRASH”
A car flew over me and hit the once pristine glass and shattered on the floor around me. The once well built superstore was now in shambles.
Once I was stopped looking at the superstore in awe, i turn back around to see the cause of this destruction. A cyclops. But i dont think thier eye is supposed to be shining purple is it?
I don’t remember much after that except for
“Swoosh” and “crunch”
After that, it all went to black except for i wasnt dead. Atleast i didnt feel dead. It felt like i was looking into the abyss.
After a few seconds the sudden realisation that i couldnt move or speak.
“Hello human” the deep voice made the whole domain vibrate. “Do not fear, i am not like what you just witnessed”
The room lit up red and a body started emerging from what looked like a pool of blood.
The figures aura was enough to scare most bravest animals.
“I’m shokorr” he bellowed “god of hell”
When this creature had fully left the pool, i could see what was speaking to me.
He was shrouded with the aura i just saw and he was nothing like ive ever seen before what does he mean he is a god?
“I am what you call a glyph” he said proudly “i am here to give you a second chance at life and protect you. But it will come will a cost. I will become a part of you and you will become fatigued if you use me last your limits.”
A glyph?! No!
“Your not going to protect me your as bad as what i just saw” i scream “i dont want no deal with somebody like you, a second life are you stupid?!”
I ran towards him, filled with rage. I had no clue what i was doing all i knew is that i had one mission. To atleast land a punch. But before i could land my punch the glyph that was right there. Was gone.
As soon as i thought i was alone in this place i felt a burning sensation on my head and a voice
“Watch me”
I look up to see the thing i was looking for. Dreading for.
The figure was smiling. It didnt look like they were enjoying it. I assume anyways from the amount of blood pouring from his mouth as the smile got more and more sinister.
After seeing his face everything faded to black and once again. I wasnt dead.
When i woke up i could see the blue sky. Well, it had a red tint over it but i assumed it was from where i almost died.
As i got up and stablised myself the cyclops recognised me again. But this time it didn’t charge, it looked at me in fear. Like it was staring death in its face. Then i realised it wasn’t looking at me.
I turned around to see the glyph again. What was his name? Shokorr?
He looked at me with the same nightmare fuelled face, he only had one arm. The other seemed to be replaced with an ancient sword. The runes on the blade were radiating a crimson light. The holographic glyph then looked up at the raging cyclops once more.
Before i could speak shokorr sliced his blade in the air.
“Fury flame”
The end of the balde combused into black flames. Black flames? Ive never seen such a thing! This was very out of my depth.
Before i could realise it, the cyclops that was standing in front of me was completely covered in the same flames i just saw on the blade. The thing that caused me so much hassle was gone instantly by him.
A sudden wave of fatigue hit me like a ton of bricks which made me hit the floor due to exhaustion, and now im back to looking at the sky
“See” the glyph chuckles “so what about now then human?”
“My name is zeff” i reply with my last bit of breath i had “and maybe your not like that cyclops. I agree to your deal”
“Great” shokorr exlaims “i can’t wait to help you on your jouney zeff”
As i look at the sky i realise the world i have now entered. Do other people have that? Am i now a target?
