Throwing all his strength behind one thrust, Ramesses knocked Prince Cyrillus back and the prince kicked over a porcelain vase in his attempt to catch his balance. They both landed on the ground at the same time. Completely out of breath, Ramesses doubled over his sword and said, "You win." "What happened?" asked Prince Cyrillus. Glistening with sweat and similarly out of breath, he walked over and crouched next to Ramesses. "I heard that demons need blood. Is he.. not feeding you?" "Starvation won't kill me," said Ramesses.

Max was my family and had took that for granted and turned it into something “interesting”. Killing Jacque was only his first step, next thing you know, he will kill the whole race of humans. Destroying everything in his path. Sans had a small phrase that I thought was pretty chilling. “Do you want to have a bad time,” was what he said before you take a step forwards. I was thinking of using that quote, but found that I didn’t think it was right. That was his thing. I needed my own. Max spit on…

"Laguno Candate!" the hooded apprentice screamed the spell. His orange fiery hair flowed and floated. Snake like, silver eyes squinted with concentration. He struggled to keep up the spell. His sparring partner screamed, as fiery rain plummeted down. His robe caught fire, he dropped his sword and the fiery rain stopped. The hooded boy fell to the ground. Laughing through his exhaustion. His master came over standing in all his daemon glory. "Good young, daemon apprentice. Your spell work is…

She was just one of a large group of Clearers currently fighting the Floor 49 Boss: The Sky Serpent. Floor 49 was Aztec themed with thick jungles, giant stone buildings, and ziggurats. It should have been little surprise that the Boss for it was based on the Quetzalcoatl from Aztec myth. Lyra ducked under one…
