Mattias' body jerked as breath tore back into his lungs. Goo slithered across his ribs, knitting bone, filling the holes where horrors had gnawed. He coughed black liquid and rolled onto his side, gagging as it hissed into smoke on the ground.
Mattias: "That hurts…"
He got up and dusted himself off.
Mattias: "Sigh… I should be more emotional than this But then again I am in a place where demons are everywhere "
As the dust settled Miras said from about : "Still alive?."
Mattias groaned and cracked his joints. His eyes darted around the endless black and back up at Miras .
Mattias: "Shut up you bastard "
Miras' voice sang down lazily as he floated wings barely moving.
Miras': "Is that any way to speak to your master ? Here I thought you'd be glad I didn't take your body, and even made you my Apostle"
He wiped a fake tear from his eye.
Mattias kicked the ground and pointed upward.
Mattias: "Don't call me your friend! You were about to take my body and before that you just kept killing me!!!"
A ripple ran across the ground the stone cracked, then collapsed Mattias dropped as the floor swallowed him.
Mattias: "Come on!... Give me a break!!!"
As he fell Miras drifted after him with his hands in his pockets.
Miras: "If you actually die I'm going to take your body and eat it"
Mattias twisted midair after hearing sounds from the ground only to see horrors swarming below like ants.
He thought: "You can't be serious."
Miras caught up flying beside him without effort.
Miras: "you have some rot luck? This place… is crawling with horrors"
Mattias felt disgusted but didn't say a word as he looked down
Miras: "Tell me… are you scared of falling to your death again even though you just did? Or are you more scared of those horrors Down there which one is it?"
Mattias' jaw tightened.
Mattias: "your a awful son of a bitch"
Miras: "sure I am but what are you?"
Miras spread his arms, twirling as then giving Mattias the middle finger.
He leaned close, voice dropping to a whisper.
Miras: "Since your my Apostle I'm telling you this if you die even once to one of those horrors you forfeit your body to me okay?"
Suddenly a chain of energy appeared around Mattias not restraining his flesh but his soul before fading out.
Mattias: "You lunatic! What did you just do?"
He grabbed Miras by the collar and pulled him closer.
Miras: "that's not important just focus on surviving ."
Mattias glared and pushed him as , a wyrm like horror rose to meet them. Without hesitation, he dove straight into its mouth.
Mattias thought: "I need to escape that crazy."
Miras tilted his head, smile widening as he flapped upward out of the wyrm's reach.
Miras (thinking): "What a strange boy he is If he really wants to escape maybe I'll just skip kill him now…"
The wyrm banked downward but its belly split open as black hands clawed their way out. The monster shrieked as Mattias tore free his body drenched in blood. The wyrm crashed to the ground, smashing lesser horrors beneath it.
Mattias landed, blinking at the swarming landscape. The "ants" he'd seen from above were actually massive creatures devouring each other in a frenzy.
His thoughts barely had time to settle before four horrors lunged at him.
Without hesitation he leapt, black claws slashing.
Mattias thought: "I've died too many times before to not know some combat."
He drove his hand through the first horror's skull, killing it instantly.
From above, Miras smiled alittle .
Miras: "You little cockroach… you didn't escape ."
Mattias pulled his fist out of the horror
Miras: "Bravo."
His smile grew wolfish.
Miras: "not half bad"
Mattias wiped blood from his face, eyes burning.
Mattias(thinking): "I hate that I can only survive now because that sensation that I got earlier in the dragon is belly was suffocating."
He glared up at Miras as the remaining horrors circled him.
Mattias: "I really hate you"
