Chapter 16 by Mattahouen Mattahouen

What's next?

Village of the Albinurics. (Mattahouen)

After some directionless wandering, I manage to find a high rise village nestled in the base of a mountain. Being the brave adventurer I am, i appraoch, and am immediately taken aback by the stench of mass ****.

With a grimace, I press on, until I discover Nepheli, standing over a pile of corpses under a bridge. As I approach, I hear her utter "How could Father do this?"

Me: "Nepheli. What happened here?" I question, obviously referring to all the bodies.

Nepheli: "Oh. Tarnished. I had not expected to see you so soon after Father's display. My apologies for what you've seen."

Suddenly it made sense. Gideon wanted me to see that he had Nepheli wrapped around his finger. Some, display of dominance.

Me: "Don't worry. I'm kink friendly." I smile at her. "What happened here, do you think?"

Nepheli: "Someone has attacked this village. Massacred hundreds of defenceless people."

Me: "That's awful! You want a hand kicking their ass?"

Nepheli: "Yes. Summon me, and we shall show them true wrath."

I nod, and continue up the hill. I look on in horror at the mounds of corpses, cut down an aggressive perfume kiosk attendant, and discover a suspiciously illuminated pot. I give it a gentle kick.

???: "No, please! No secrets lie with me, not a one!" An old decrepit man emerges as the illusory pot fades.

Me: "Hey, calm down old boy. What are you talking about?"

???: "You mean, you're not one of them?"

Me: "One of who?"

???: "The thugs, of that all hearing brute!"

Me: "No. I work for myself." His demeanour visibly softens.

???: "Oh, thank heavens! Then please. I have a request of you, youngster. Take this medallion, and give it to Latenna. She will need it to complete her journey. She's hidden in the mountains!"

And before I could say anything else, the man forces half a medallion into my grasp, and fades from existence. I sit for a second, processing what was just said, before I continue my exploration of the razed town.

I cross a bridge, and see my opportunity to summon Nepheli. I do so, and together, we make relatively quick work of the omenkiller awaiting us.

That was an adventure!
