Jormungand’s Curse
(Curse of the World Eater)

I wake up being dragged into an abandoned town. The crows circling the sun waiting for me to die. Then I black out. I’m waked by a gunshot. BOOM! “I was starting to think you were not going to wake up” growled a masked man. He wore a Japanese sun hat with a robotic mask, with one red dot in the center. He had a shotgun that was black with a red stripe, a purple scope and a yellow word on it that read Suros. “I’m going to make this easy for you Endeavor, or should I say Hunter Cayde. Where is Jormungand?” He said in an echoey voice, that sounded more machine than man. “I know you have it, Whitebeard would give it to you, seeing as you have a bounty

I never told him about the fruit. Olivia knew but she kept her lips sealed. I was a wanted criminal. I later figured out the people who invaded us were part of the Beast Pirates. Their leader had the ability to control string. While we were exploring the desert to escape the Beasts, Olivia stubbed her toe on something. It was a stope pyramid buried in the sand. The pyramid had a weird hole in it that was the shape of the fruit. I placed the fruit in and a laser shout out. And then a woman spoke to me. “Jormungand is the destroyer of worlds. It was in the Garden of Eden. It gives power to those worthy, but can become corrupt in the wrong hands. It is a blessing to all, and a Curse to all. Anyone that receives the gift cannot touch a Prism, God’s gift to humans, Aschente is the word needed to open up the darkness within. Quindecim is the word needed to give the holder unimaginable power.”
Boom!
“That’s all I wanted to hear,” the bounty hunter said.” I was given power of a Door. A DOOR. I can turn into a door at will. $500,000 for a DOOR. Give me the fruit and will cleanse the world of powers. With the fruit destroyed we can enjoy prisms, and everyone will be

    In the beginning of time, in a paradisal world of sustained perpetual bliss, man was unflawed, an “infallible” construct, created and contrived by and in the image of an omnipotent being. However, a malevolent serpent—an embodiment of mankind’s insatiable gravitation to depravity—tempted man into partaking the forbidden fruit, considered to be a manifestation of corruption’s scarlet allure. As soon as the first man and woman of creation partook in the fruit, the souls of humanity were mauled, defaced by new evil desires: avarice, lust, and self-servitude, for humanity was now plagued with “original sin”, a brand to mankind that doomed man to perish by the inexorable evils of corruption and sin. However, God made a covenant with man,…

    It was one of those memories sitting in my brain, gathering dust. However, it was also that memory that would come to define an important aspect of me: persistence. When I was in fourth grade, I had volunteered at the 2006 San Francisco Marathon with my mother and brother. All I did was hand cups of water to the people that passed by and stand mesmerized by the sheer number of runners. However, within a few hours, my young self quickly grew bored, and the marathon went from interesting to tedious.…

    “Life of a soldier, looking at the glass ceiling” Taj Atkinson Teaser: I hear and see dead people all the time, can you imagine seeing hundreds of dead faces every day for the rest of your day.

Well I couldn’t either until now of course, I see them when I’m sleep, and even when I eat, I wake up and sleep in an infinite nightmare.

    Augustine wrote that “there was a pear tree near our vineyard laden with fruit, though attractive in neither colour nor taste.” Augustine was not interested in the appearance, smell, taste, or feel of the stolen pears; therefore, the motive could not be categorized as lust of the eyes. Finally, Augustine’s act was not applicable as an example of the lust for sensuality. He reiterated again that “I had a quantity of better pears” in later paragraphs, showing no enjoyment of having the stolen pears. He also explained that his desire was not to enjoy what he had stolen.…

    I wake up suffocated by darkness, heart pounding, I gasp for breath that won't come. I don’t know what time it is and for a moment I don’t know where I am.
