I finally finished The Odyssey! It took me way longer than it should have, which is fine because it’s lore accurate. Anyway, here’s my rendition of the scenes post “Suitor Slaughter”
Inspired by This Post so credit where credit is due
Got a bribe from dear @hypnosun
I always say that I will never do something like this ever again and I have shot my foot yet again...
It happens at night.
When darkness falls and the moon is not enough to illuminate the world, when the stars dim and the monsters are at their most active.
It happens at night.
They are not silent.
Why would they be?
You hear the laughter first. Always the laughter.
The screams and the laughter mixing together in a cacophony that sends shivers down everyone's spines, the sound grating at their ears.
They are not silent.
Knowing they are coming doesn't mean anything.
Their weapons are rudimentary, not a single enchanted item but the ones they took from previous corpses. Their armor does very little to protect their body but it doesn't matter, they welcome death as a blessing, hug her as an old friend.
They come, as a group.
Always a group.
They destroy the lights first, always. Bathed in darkness, like their senses have gotten intimately familiar with it.
A flash of colorful wings, cracked with dirt and blood and debris, and she laughs and laughs as she descends upon you with a stolen knife. She laughs and laughs as they strike her back, as they kill her, she is still laughing when she comes back and attacks again with her bare hands. Blood coats her whole body and she bathes on it.
Eyes that flash in the darkness, pools of blue consumed by madness, eyes that stared at the void and smiled at it. He smiles with blood red lips as he cuts you with a knife made of bone, he smiles as he licks the blood of the blade looking you in the eyes, a challenge, a plea. He smiles as he tears out pieces of the bodies, as he offers it to his companions like offerings. You never thought monsters could be so beautiful.
A flash of corrupted green, static that cuts the air, whispering things you cannot understand, that you cannot make sense off. He follows, without rest, he tears himself apart as long as it keeps you going and going and going, you blink and suddenly you are alone in the middle of nowhere, he smiles, twisted, eyes poison green. The static consumes you.
A sword you never see coming. A moment you are watching your surroundings, ready for an attack, expecting it because you know you are stronger, knowing that victory is promised to you. It doesn't matter, you don't see the blade until it is sticking from your body, gone in the blink of an eye searching for a new victim to sink into. You never see who is holding it.
A flash of ink black wings, in the darkness of the night you can't even see the spots where feathers do not grow anymore. Before you see the wings you can always feel them approaching, a chill down your spine, the air growing colder and colder, mist surrounding you, heavy, oppressing, the smell of blood and candles mixing together. Your death is an offering, a sacrifice. Blood for the Blood God. A soul for the Goddess of Death.
Eyes that stalk you in the darkness, unblinking, challenging you. He laughs and laughs in good nature as he invites you to kill him, as he begs for a reason to feel something, you can swear that sometimes even as his lips spread into the biggest grin you ever saw tears glisten into his golden eyes, his skin glowing, blessed with the un-death. You kill him over and over and over again. It doesn't matter. You cannot kill what was never truly alive in the first place.
A voice, soft in the darkness of the night, singing. Songs of mirth and joy, some in a foreign language most do not speak but those who do recognize the silly little lyrics, she sings and she kills you, she sings as you kill her, she invites you to join her over and over again, coming back like a lamb waiting to be made sacrifice, grinning, asking you why do you care? Why do you fight? You shiver once more as you sink your sword into her knowing she will be back and you still wouldn't have an answer to her question.
They die.
Over and over and over and over and over.
An unending circle of death and resurrection, of blood and pain and screams and laughter and madness.
They don't care.
They come back with the night, they bring darkness, they bring death like a second skin, they laugh and they laugh as they kill and as they die.
This is not Purgatory, they will crackle with blood dripping from their mouths, this is Hell.
Why do you care, they ask with genuine curiosity as you sink diamond blades into unprotected flesh, Why do you care.
Join us, they chant as they disappear into the shadows as the sun threatens to appear, join us, join us, join us.
We will wait for you, the last words spoken before they are gone, when you realize, we will be waiting for you.
You don't relax even when you can't hear their laughter and screams anymore, when you can't feel the madness spreading, consuming.
They will come when the night returns.
They always do.
