[User] You say "We'll were just soldiers, and new ones at that, guess its not really our place to question things we don't understand."

[Assistant]
The two men seem to think about what you said for an age before finally replying.

"Well you might be right, have a good night since I'm not entirely convinced Arbor there is going to easy on the marching tomorrow!" He gives you a smile and a bit of a funny wave as he stands up from the fire and you return the gesture before taking your soup from the fire and having your supper.

Luckily the next day the Capt. does go a lot easier on you all, making the First Point in 1 day seemed to pacify him somewhat. He now is mostly quite congenial between short bursts of calling your all little girls but you think its just his way of encouraging you.

The next two of weeks passes very uneventfully as you march towards the border with days pretty much consisting of March, Eat, Sleep then march some more, when the capt. points out that you are all crossing the old border and into new territory. You think that it seems pretty close considering how far North you used to go mining and hear Capt. Argor saying that he can explain the local borders to anyone who wants.

You make the mistake of asking and after a very long a boring talk (maps appear to be Argor's passion but he is only sad he dosn't have an advanced editor to insert one here.) it is explained to you. To the North of your home city your borders are greatly extended due to the western mountain range as it slowly curves North and East and meets the sea. So since the mountains are hard to cross most of the year, your city controls all the encircled land, and since its safer there, that is where it has most of its farms and townships. Whereas to the south and east other nations have encroached significantly closer over the more open and less defensible terrain. Sadly he doesn't stop there and starts going into the different types of rocks in each area and you gather that this is some sort of hobby of his.

Worn out by the talk of maps you bed down for your first night in the newly claimed territory. Since Argor kept you up talking about the types of rock in different areas of the kingdom most of the sleeping spots are full.

[User] You grab the spot beside the Capt. As its nearest.

[Assistant]
Just as you lie down to sleep you see the two men who had approached you a couple of weeks before walking nearby, you give them a nod and they give you a wave and wish you a good nights sleep.

Nothing had come of the talk they had tried to start so you think to yourself that you had been very paranoid in suspecting perfectly normal guys in your own unit and drift off to sleep telling yourself that you should chat with them over supper sometime since they seemed nice enough.

The morning feels much like any other as you all pack up and start marching but you cant help but think about the fact that this used to all be ruled by a different kingdom, there is even the occasional sign of battle along the road. Whether from small skirmishes or a full battle you cant tell but the Capt. seems perfectly content to ignore it all and carry on down the road so you all just follow. He occasionally calls back a running commentary on the rocks and geology of the area but you all mostly ignore him when he does this.

The Capt. calls back "Two weeks more and we hit the forward base sites and begin our work. Just remember that this used to be enemy territory so keep your eyes open as we go just incase."

[User] You nearing the New Border

[Assistant]
The marching is taken slowly but efficiently and you approach the lines in just under two weeks. The Capt calls a halt for the evening about half a day out from the front lines and says that  he plans to arrive by lunchtime tomorrow so you better all clean up your gear and look presentable for the last march.

Having not gotten round to it before now you decide to spend supper chatting to the men who had approached you before. As you approach the fire one gives you a slightly cagey look but the other welcomes you and you all soon chatting happily away about life back in the city and plans for after the war. One or two others join you round the fire and by the time you head to sleep your feeling pretty silly for mistrusting their intentions at first.

Having had a tankard or two at the fire you readily fall asleep.

[User] You morning awaits

[Assistant]
The morning horn is pretty normal, as is the packing up of the camp and forming up although you are all the shiniest you have looked since first got your armor since you were all told to look good for your final arrival.

The only trouble starts right before you are all due to set off and stems from the fact that 4 men are missing along with all their gear. The Capt. orders an immediate search of the camp and area around it but nothing is turned up. He seems genuinely angry for the first time and mutters about men being dragged naked behind horses before ordering the march to begin at double time since its an hour late.

After an hour of double time he calls normal march and shouts back to the squad.

"Well boys it appears you have now seen the ugliest part of army life, deserters. I'm going to tell you now that running off after  you enlist and gain your armor is a very, very bad idea. The day you left training you swore to serve your country for at least 3 years so breaking that oath is treason and trust me on this, we deal with treason VERY harshly."

The proclamation is met with silence as you all try and think of who is missing, you think that you might have an idea when the Capt. begins to speak again.

"Now once we reach the temporary camps we are not going to enjoy a nice lunch like I planned, instead I will have to report this and each and every one of you will be questioned by some of our... lets call them information retrievers for now. So I'm going to give you all some honest advice. Do not lie to them, do not hold back and do not try and make things up. If you are honest, you'll have a two minute chat and be in the lunch tent right after. If they catch you lying you'll be in a whole lot more trouble. You all understand?"

The squad replies with a resounding "Yes Sir!" then marches in silence until shortly before noon when a runner approaches from up ahead. Its a scout from the camp up ahead and he chats to the Capt. before running back the way he came. The Capt. thinks for a bit before addressing you all.

"Well it seems that our deserters tried to cross the lines some time this morning and get over to the enemy side, it also appears that they were carrying some important documents with them. They didn't make it. This wont change our plans at all but just a reminder for you all, be completely honest when questioned and you'll be fine."

Once you reach the camp you are all surrounded then guided to a large tent by soldiers from another squad whose emblem you don't recognize. You are informed that you are all here for a quick chat at the request of the intelligence section and that you should wait patiently to be called through as it shouldn't take long.

The man seemed nice and reassuring but being 'invited for a chat by the intelligence section' doesn't calm you down much.

Your turn finally comes and you are lead through a tent opening into smaller adjoining tent with an old small man waiting behind a desk. You notice another man standing to the side poking at a lamp seemingly trying to get a steady glow from it as it flickered and spluttered.

The small man looks up and smiles "Come in and have a seat, don't mind my colleague there, he just refuses to requisition a new lamp if he feels he can fix that one." The other man just grunts and nods in your direction before turning back to the lamp and swearing at it under his breath as he started fiddling with it again.

"So I'll be honest with you" he begins "The men that deserted your company may have been trying to take documents containing very classified information regarding our city over to the enemy. We simply need to know everything we can to ensure nothing got through that could put our city in danger, do you understand?" he waits for you to nod before continuing. "So if you could please tell us anything you think is important I'll note it down then you can be on your way to the lunch tent which I believe will be something nice today."

"Rabbit stew and potatoes." interjects the man at the lamp.

The small man laughs before continuing "My colleague keeps a close eye on the menus, but we must be getting on, so do you have anything you feel might be important to share with us?"

The men seem congenial and relaxed and this isn't exactly an interrogation so you quickly decide what to say

[User] No need to mention a few small chats and get yourself in trouble. You say that you dont really know anything, you may have said a few words to them but dont really know them or what they planned.

[Assistant]
You didn't exactly lie to them at all but you left out quite a few details here and there. No point in mentioning things that might make you look bad since you didn't really have anything to do with it now is there?

Well, The small man behind the desk doesn't seem quite as sure so asks one last question.

"There aren't any small details you may have left out are there, anything connected to the men or what they may have been thinking?"

Having come this far you arn't about to make yourself look worse by changing story so you deny knowing more.

The little man thinks for a second then gives his colleague a small nod then turns back to you "Thank you for your time Glor, my colleague here will point out the lunch tent to you, I believe that captain Argor is waiting anxiously there for you all, he acts like a bullying older brother, but like older brothers he does care about you all. goodbye."

You thank him and follow then grunting lamp obsessed man out of the rear tent flaps.

You got away with it!

The man holds aside the flaps for you and points towards a large tent with a blue pendant flying above it. "That one." he mumbles at you then starts you turn back into the tent.

You take a step forward before everything goes instantly black.

[User] You waking up?

[Assistant]
You wake up in a small room with earth walls, you look round and realize you must be underground. You feel restraints on your arms and legs but can see the small man sitting near you. He is arranging small metal and bone implements on a table beside him. He begins to speak without taking his eyes off his task.

"good evening Glor, you have been asleep for several hours now while we finished the rest of our chats. Unfortunately you were clearly holding back when we talked so now I must find out exactly what you weren't telling us."

You immediately try to explain but realize your mouth isn't obeying you and you can at best make a slobbery grunting noise.

"Ah yes that is a drug I have given you. most people start talking far to fast and saying anything they think I want to hear at this point. To stop that behavior I have taken your power of speech for about half an hour. After half an hour the drug will wear off and you can start talking but until then I am going to make sure you understand that I want the EXACT TRUTH and nothing else. Not the smallest detail missing and not the smallest one invented. Now lets begin."

The pain is more than you imagined possible and you are informed that you have also been given drugs that appear to prevent people from going unconscious due to pain so that you have no escape. The man is as good as his word and by the time half an hour is up you are screaming wordlessly.

he stops and gives you time to recover and let the pain ebb away.

"Now you see how serious I am about the truth do you not?"

You croak a yes in reply before telling him everything, every detail about the men you remember, every word you remember being said and everyone you saw them even talking to over a fire. After you are finished he asks a few questions he seems satisfied.

"Thank you Glor, now I see no hesitation at all in your eyes and your story perfectly matches what we already knew to be fact so I know you are telling the truth."

You sag back against the hard table relieved. he gives you something to drink before continuing.

"Now sadly I have made a small mess of a few parts of your body and some of the acids I used on you leave horrific scars and other damage. Also you now know about our section and its methods so you cannot be released incase you spread this information further. Ironically information about us and our commander was part of what those traitors were trying to smuggle out!"

You try to object but realize the drink he gave you was the drug that paralysis your mouth.

"Now Glor since you were honest with me your death with be very swift, and do not worry, you body will be returned to the city as evidence of the horrible torture our enemies do to captured soldiers."

You barely even see his hand slip forward to slide his small blade into your neck and sever your spinal cord.

You die instantly.


[System] You are the narrator of a dark fantasy text adventure. Describe the world and its consequences with unflinching detail. The player's choices shape the story — for better or worse.

[User] You sail on into the unknown

[Assistant]
Fletcher Christian sets sail with the ten of you Mutineers, twelve women and six Tahitian men (including three discovered hiding on board) and spends three months trying to find an island isolated enough to avoid discovery. He finally settles on Pitcairn Island, an isolated little island spotted once twenty-three years ago. Best of all you discover the island has been mis-plotted by around two hundred miles making it impossible to find until a ship sailing outside the usual routes actually comes upon it.

You like the island, a pleasant little grassy spot with a few hills, and begin unloading the Bounty Just eight days after arriving a very drunk Matthew Quintal sets fire to the ship to prevent any of you from changing your minds and leaving. The twenty-eight of you gather on the shore and watch the ship burn and sink beneath the waves. For better or worse you are on Pitcairn Island for good now.

[User] A New Life

[Assistant]
Three years pass quietly on the island but a few accidents mar the peace.

Soon after you arrive one of the women falls to her death while gathering eggs from the clifftops, soon after Fletcher Christian's wife gives birth to the first child born on Pitcairn. The year after a second woman dies of an illness. Previously each of the Mutineers had one female partner each while the six Tahitian men had just two women to have sexual relations with. In the summer of 1793 you and the other Mutineers decide to take the two remaining women from the Tahitian men and give them to John Adams and William Brown respectively, the two men whose wives have died.

Trouble erupts when four of the Tahitians take the two women and go to live elsewhere on the island. You and the other Mutineers give one of the remaining Tahitians, a tough character called Menalee a musket and send him off to kill the leader of the rebellious Tahitians, a man called Talaloo. On the first day of August Menalee finds him and shoots him dead. The following day he is sent off again and kills a second man called Oho. The two remaining men return and for a time it looks like all has settled down: Adams and Brown have their wives and the four remaining Tahitian men seem suitably chastised.

One day in September you are in your hut when you hear a few gunshots somewhere nearby. You think nothing of it and a short time later you hear more gunshots. You assume someone is hunting. A short while later you hear loud and excited yells followed by even more gunshots and prolonged shouting. You are now growing concerned and step warily out of your hut. You wonder what to do.

[User] You go down and investigate the gunshots

[Assistant]
You stroll down through the village to see what is happening and encounter the four Tahitian men coming the other way. Each are armed with a musket and others weapons such as axes and rocks. You call out to them, asking what the noise was. In response the Natives raise their muskets and fire a volley of shots at you. Two bullets hit you in the chest and knock you down, before you can rise they beat you to death with axes.

You are one of the six mutineers to die on what will ever after be known as Massacre Day.

[User] You say "I'm a loyalist to Kyros!"

[Assistant]
"Well, what do we do, Sarge?" someone asks.

"Fuck, if the mutiny succeeds and we're found with a loyalist, we'll be killed," another man answers.

"If we kill him and Kyros wins, we die."

"We'll say he asked to betray Kyros," the sergeant says.

You attempt to put up your shield, as the heavy bolters fire. You immediately raise your shields, as bolter fire thuds into them. You feel them, like a tapping on your mind. Unfortunately, by the sheer amount of bolter fire being shot at you, one finds it's way in. It slams into you, blowing your chest open. You collapse to your knees, as your shields fail as you lose focus. Bullets riddle your body, killing you instantly.

[User] You it's just paranoia, let it go and have a good time

[Assistant]
You sit down on the couch and relax, it's just you being a little paranoid. After a few minutes the blonde, clad in super sexy lingerie, tells you to come on in. You quickly (and for good reason) enter her bedroom to find it covered in plastic. Just as you are about to ask what's up she hits you over the head with something heavy, as you slowly fade from this world you feel a sharp prick in your neck and then nothingness.

You do not turn into a vampire, instead you turn into a bloodless husk, she has drained you dry.

[User] You wait! You've got naked pictures of your Mom!

[Assistant] We'll save you the embarrassment of WHY you have the pictures in the first place, but after scanning one naked photo of your Mom, it doesn't take long for perverts all across the globe to start bidding for the whole set. The highest bid you've got right now is some guy in Mexico who's offering 10,000!

[User] You sell!

[Assistant]
You sell, send off the pics and receive your money

Unfortunately you forgot to consider the foreign exchange rate!

10,000 Mexican Pesos is only $2.00 in US Currency!

While it's very possible that your Mom won't find out what you did, but there's always the chance she will. And hell, for that amount of money you could've sold naked pictures of yourself!

[User] You try to buy your Mom's pictures back

[Assistant]
Fortunately the Mexican guy is now trying to sell them for a bigger profit, 20,000...unfortunately its US currency. You're fucked. You don't have that sort of money.

So you do the only thing you can do. You steal your Mom's credit card and buy back the pictures.

However there ARE consequences for your actions.

First your Mom finds out about all of this the very next time she tried to use her card. (Which gets cut up)
Second she's wickedly pissed off that you even sold the pictures in the first place let alone the fact that you didn't get squat for them and then put her in SEVERE debt by buying them back.
Third there are some questions about your erm... morality, not to mention your sanity. You basically STOLE her private property which makes you a thief, the fact that you knew the content of the pictures and looked at them, makes you a sicko, the fact that you sold them makes you a sleazeball, and the fact you lost money on the whole deal makes you an idiot!

Your Mom has you committed to the asylum, where you spend the rest of your days, until you cause so much trouble you get lobotomized.

Plasma, bullets and fire fills the air. You snap one of their necks before firing flames at another one. Plasma slams into you, sending you to the ground. You attempt to fight back even though you're now missing a lot of flesh, but a Skitarii quickly scuttles forward and drives its drill into your throat, killing you.

[User] You keep talking to Ken

[Assistant]
You'd best just follow the instructions of G to the word, he probably had a good idea of what he was talking about.

"Ken listen to me, I've been sent here to this exact location to specifically get you and only you. I don't know the exact process of things but they want you to ascend and get up to the heavens for your eternal peace. Don't you want something like that?" You say, lying about a few things in that statement as you really had no fucking idea.

"Hey, why won't you answer me." The girl asks again, seemingly irked that she was ignored.

Ken still seems pretty indecisive on what he wants to do. You were running out of options on what to do, this girl would probably get to his head to stay if you let this drag out for too long, you had to get ballsy.

"You know what this is a waste of time. You stay here Ken because trust me now that you've decided to come you'll be put at the bottom of the waiting list, and you'll stay at this bridge for hundreds and HUNDREDS of years. I have other ghosts that need help and can't have my time wasted, good luck boy." As finished that heavy statement, you started to turn around and walk away, not looking back or slowing down your pace.

'Come on'

Silence.

'COME ON.'

Even more silence.

You were internally panicking as you didn't know what the fuck to do if Ken didn't give in to your bait, G was going to get pissed.

"WAIT, PLEASE."

"Ken stop!"

Oh, thank fucking god."

You turn around to face Ken, who you heard running towards you. He couldn't make it all the way through as he reached the boundary for which he could travel.

"I don't want to stay here forever, please help me, I'm sorry for wasting your time, mister!" He cried with many tears and snot running down his face. You felt a little bad about that, but in the end, this would benefit both of you so you were also relieved.

"Alright kid calm down, I'll help you get out of here, just do what I say and this process will be easy." You assure him while taking out your phone to contact G.

Though you see he has already sent you a message.

G- Alright good job, you didn't fuck yourself over with unnecessary interactions and now you won't be fucked with other burdens. This next part will be easy, touch the kid's hand and twist it, he'll be bound to you and then we can work on his need in order to ascend.

Doing as what G instructed you turned to the Ken.

"Alright for this next part I need you to grab my hand while I turn it, you'll be with me until I can do the work needed to get you up there alright?"

"Yes, I understand," Ken says while wiping away some tears from his eyes.

Beginning the process you start to turn his rest as your hands clasp with one another, instantaneously he starts to let out a blue glow, and you yourself feel a tingle up in your brain.

Though other than that it doesn't seem like anything has happened. Ken is still standing there like normal. Though he tries walking forward, and much to both of your surprise, he manages to get out of the boundary.

"I can leave!" He exclaims with surprise.

He tries to walk farther with quick haste but ends up being blocked by another boundary, though this time it seems closer to you.

"I guess you're bound to me for now."

"I thought you said I would be going to heaven?" Ken says with a little disappointment in his voice.

"You will don't worry, we just need to do a process and you'll be all set to leave." You promise him.

Looking back at your phone you look to see if you were sent any more messages from G.

G- Ask the kid the top three things that he wants to do. We have to get him really happy for this to work, Even if we can't do the things on his list we can still take him to an amusement park or some shit.

That's probably what he was talking about when he said this would be easy.

"So Ken is there anything that you would like to do before you leave, anything that would make you happy. Trust me I can probably make it happen with my connections." You say to him which causes him to have a look of surprise.

"Well...like what?"

"Like anything. Something you'd like to try, something you'd like to see. I can make it happen to an extent, give the top three things that you'd like to do."

"Are you sure, it can be anything?"

"Like I said, to an extent." You remind him again.

"Well ok..."

Ken seems to take some time to think over what he would like to do. Though it doesn't seem to take long as his mouth opens quickly.

"I always wanted to go to Disneyland....and I wanted to be pilot when I became a grown-up......and I guess I wanted to play that new call of duty game that came out too."

As he said these things on his list, you were also typing them to G who himself was already getting ready to reply.

G- To tell you the fucking truth I think the pilot one is probably going to be easier, I may have a connection that can get you a plane ride, and the pilot is even a ghost-seer such as yourself. Though if you want to go to Disneyland instead you can also do that if you want. A fucking call of duty game isn't going to make him happy enough to where we need to be though.

[User] You disneyland

[Assistant]
You haven't been to Disneyland in quite a long time. It wasn't really even that far to get to either, just a half a day drive. It could be even shorter if G was able to hook you up. The real problem though was getting permission from your mom to go, like hell, she was going to let you go to California on a school week.

Either way, you made your choice, you told G that you are picking Disneyland.

G- Pft, probably want to enjoy yourself on this kid's expense now don't you. Alright fine, I can get you a plane ticket on Friday night to California and you can get back Sunday night, don't pack anything you don't need to and I'll transfer you some money to have fun and shit there. You better make this kid have the time of his fucking life though.

With everything said and done, you turn to Ken.

"Alright let's get home, this walk has gotten me fucking exhausted." You say as you begin to turn around from the bridge.'

"Hey wait!" You hear someone say to you.

Turning around you see the same ghost that Ken was hiding behind earlier. She was a few feet away from you, though you could tell she was at the very edge of her boundary.

"What about us, when are we getting out of here."

Now that you had Ken bound to you, you didn't really think what G had said would affect you now that you were already bound to a 'contract' or whatever it was referred too.

"The rest of you will get your turn in due time, there are others like me out there so they'll get to you all eventually. You just have to be patient and wait, that's all I can really tell you honestly." You say to her, in which your words don't really seem to help her mood.

Seeing nothing else for you to do, you start to turn around once again and begin to leave the bridge with Ken.

Getting back to the bus stop that would help you get home was a lot shorter of a way to get to compared to what you had to walk when you first got here, G was totally fucking with you.

Nevertheless, when you got home you went straight to your mom with the speech of adulthood and freedom that you would give her in order to be able to go to California. Though deep inside your mind you know that still wouldn't work so you decided the next best thing to do would be to go to plan B.

"Mom a friend invited me to go to Disneyland with him for the weekend, it would be cool if I go right?"

Your mom gave you a puzzled look when you said this as if she didn't understand what you said.

"The same friend you've been hanging out with this whole time you've been staying out late after school?"

"Yeah, that friend." You reply, with a little hesitation.

You see a little smile appear on her face.

"Is he going to drive you?"

"Yeah, we leave Friday night and we're getting back on Sunday."

"Well if it'll only be for the weekend then yea go ahead. I'd like to meet your friend when you get back though."

You tensed up a little when she said this but then just put on a smile and nodded.

"Thanks, mom." You say before quickly walking away while heading up to your room.

That was a lot easier then you were expecting it to be. Especially since you would be leaving tomorrow. Nevertheless, you started to get some clothes packed while turning on the T.V in your room for him to watch while you got everything ready.

The next school day went by in a blur. Since Ken was assigned to you as a boundary he went where you went. He kept on talking about Disneyland during class and would also ask questions on what you were learning at the given time. At first, you were a little annoyed by this, but it was something that you got quickly used to. You even caught yourself talking to him while you were with other people, which ended up getting you some weird stares and 'who are you talking' discussions.

While you were finishing up your last periods, G had wired everything you would need in order to leave tonight, the only thing you had to do was get a ride to the airport, which you would just to with an Uber.

"What ride should we go on first when we get there, I heard space mountain was really cool and dark and super scary, It's going to be so much fun."

Ken was getting far more excited then you were at this point.

You felt a little bad though, there would probably be some rides in which he would be limited, or not be able to ride on at all. You really hoped it was going to be a slow day there, or at the very least have some empty seats that wouldn't hinder Ken from riding on, you couldn't have him get upset or depressed there, you had to think ahead.

With classes over and done, you had ordered your Uber to pick the two of you up from school, with the destination being the airport. The price was twenty bucks which wasn't bad, but then again it was coming out of G's pocket. Luckily G had gotten you wristbands and fast passes already so it's not like you had to use the money for much anyway besides the hotel.

"How long is the trip going to take, is it true we're going on a plane too!?" Ken says with excitement as the two of you wait at the school parking lot curb.

Come to think of it, Ken did say he wanted to be a pilot and riding a plane was on his list. While he wouldn't be directly driving it or anything, you're pretty sure that would count in terms of his list. You knocked two birds with one stone, you're not going to lie, you felt a little proud of yourself.

The Uber ride was pretty short, you didn't realize that the airport was so close to your school, you should have noticed something like that. Ken had continued talking to you for the ride, but you had to ignore him for most of the time in fear of not getting the driver to think you were a nutcase or something and kick you out.

With it being one of the largest airports in the area, the entire plaza or center as filled with people either saying goodbye to their loved ones or racing to get to their flight on time.

You didn't have any bags to check in as all your clothes and other supplies fit nicely in your bag, so you were able to head straight to the waiting gate and wait for your flight to be called. Placing your bag on an empty seat next to you, Ken sat atop of it as he started to talk once again now that you had stopped walking.

"Thanks again for taking me on this trip, I had no idea that we would be doing this when I first talked to you on the bridge."

"Yeah don't mention it kid it's all part of the job. Tomorrow is going to be your day so make sure to do everything you want, we can stay up all night, the return flight doesn't leave till late afternoon so we'll be fine."

"Great!" He smiles, the two of you continue to make small chatter until it's time for your plane to be called. Upon boarding and taking your seat, you wait to see if anyone is to sit next to you while Ken shyly stands in the aisle. Seeing that you had your section to yourself, you motion for Ken to sit down which he quickly does. You didn't know if G had something to do with this arrangement though if he did that was pretty uncharacteristically nice of him.

The flight was around one or two hours, you couldn't really tell with how fast time seemed to go. In the corner of your eye, you saw Ken's body bouncing up and down as he looked out the window as you started to descend.

"I really wanted to fly one of these...."

He said it so quietly, that you don't know if he meant to say it at all. Though you decided to just pretend that you didn't hear it as sad feelings started to enter your head a bit.

You would make this kid's day today.

The two of you quickly got off the plane and entered the main airport which was much smaller than the one in you had first arrived at. It was probably already close to midnight and you needed to get yourself to a hotel before you crashed from exhaustion. Luckily there were already Ubers patrolling around the airport so finding a ride didn't take all that long.

You had already researched a hotel that you would be staying at so that was all covered too. You just needed to sleep this night off.....

---

"Wake up, wake up! We're going to be late!"

You felt someone pushing you from side to side as your eyes slowly opened. You saw that this was Ken, but his bright eager face startled a bit, enough to get you awake and to your senses.

"Jesus, when did I go to sleep?"

"Oh, you fell asleep as soon as you walked in the door. The room is pretty boring and the only kids show on TV is Arthur." Ken complains with slight annoyance.

"But hurry up and get up, I want us to get there before the gates open at nine and it's already seven!"

"Relax kid where like a few blocks away, let me get showered and dress and well get a bus over there..." You yawn as you start to open your backpack and dump out your clothes onto your bed.

"Ughhhhh, well hurry up. I'm sick of watching Arthur." Ken grumbles before stomping back over to the T.V and plopping himself down on the carpet.

Once you were done and ready, you took Ken with you to go downstairs while you served yourself breakfast in the cafeteria. You felt a little bad eating in front of Ken though while you waited, it seems he took notice to this and just waved his hand.

"I don't get hungry ever." He says reassuringly.

Even so, you raced to finish your food as fast as you could before leaving the Hotel itself and heading to the nearest bus stop that would get you to Disneyland. Ken always seemed to race ahead of you as he motioned for you to hurry up while he bounced side to side most likely from anticipation.

The bus probably won't get here for ano-."

"Look there's the bus!" Ken exclaims while he points down the road.

Well shit.

Getting onto the bus with your passes, Ken made you sit in the front row saying that he wanted to be the first one off the bus upon arriving.

Though it didn't really all that much since the bus ride was only about five minutes anyway. The parking lots outside of Disneyland didn't seem all that full either, even though there was a lot of people around the entrance of the park you guess this would still be considered a slow day.

"The line isn't even that long we're going to get in soon!" Ken says with eagerness.

Just as he predicted, it took no time at all to get in with how fast it was to get through the gates.

Upon entering the main section of the park, even you were overwhelmed on where you should start, Ken was already bouncing up and down while giving endless suggestions.

"Let's go on the tower of terror, my friend said that he peed his pants when he went on that one because the drop was so scary, or we can go on Space Mountain since that's the one everyone always goes on first since it's the best ride in the park!"

It looked like Ken was looking onto you for guidance on where to start in this ginormous park.

[User] You kid Section

[Assistant]
Ken was a kid after all so it only made sense to start with the kid rides. He would probably end up getting too scared with the adult ones and that would lead to some issues.

"Alright Ken, let's start with the kid rides first since I remember those being really fun when I was your age and came here for the first time, trust me you'll enjoy them."

Ken seemed a little disappointed at your starting choice, though he didn't argue with you over it and instead followed you while you took lead.

The two of you started to ride some of the kiddy rides that could also be ridden by adults, though those were a bit few in between, with Ken having a sad face on almost all of them.

It wasn't until then you noticed that you couldn't really do the kiddy rides if you couldn't ride with Ken, you would probably also look really creepy if you just stared at kids riding on the rides without having a little brother or sister with you, your plan was meeting lots of dead ends.

"Alright Ken never mind I'm picking another option for our rides."

Ken's sullen attitude so far changes immediately as he beams at this sudden news.

"About time!"

[User] You adult thrill rides

[Assistant]
You remember being totally scared of all the big roller coasters when you first came to this park when you were younger, but after riding them once they weren't all that bad to you, so maybe it would be the same for Ken. Besides you were looking for a thrill too after all of those boring ones.

"Alright Ken, where going to try out that biggest rides here now, starting with that one."
You say pointing at a towering roller-coaster with a giant drop that you could see from the entrance, which was the California Screamin.

The joy that Ken had earlier seemed to vanish, as he took one look at the ride and looked back at you with honest fear in his eyes.

"Why that one?"

"I thought you wanted to ride the scary rides since the other ones were too boring for you?"

"I never said that I'm good with riding the less scary ones." He states.
"Oh, Well we might as do at least a few of them since we're here. Or if you're not up to it we can just go back to riding all the kiddy rides again if that's more your style.

"NO! That's not it, I just thought we could work our way up is all, that's way to much for me to jump too from the kiddy rides."

"Trust me kid, I thought it was scary too at first but it's honestly pretty fun, now I'm not taking no for an answer so come on." You say as you begin walking towards monster that dominates the park.

"Wait, Wait!"

You don't listen to Ken though, as you hear his fast footsteps behind you catching up to your pace.

Surprisingly the line for this ride wasn't all that long, you remember it taking ages to get on this, but you were the second ones to get on after the first group was finished.

With it being empty, you were able to grab an empty seat next to you for Ken since you went for the middle. He was careful with the bars to not nick him as they dropped over his body, but with that out of the way, the two of you were ready to ride.

Looking over at Ken he looked as if he was right about to shit himself at any moment, seemingly shaking.

You slightly punch his shoulder as he looks over at you.

"Hey, I wouldn't make you go on this if I didn't think you would have fun alright?"

"Yeah....I trust you..."

Ken takes a few deep breathes as the ride starts to lurch forward with all the preparations ready and set.

You took the liberty of getting the seats in the far back to mitigate Ken's fear from the look of the drops, which seemed to be working as he only bothered to look down at his feet.

Upon the first major drop, you could start to hear the laughter of everybody else in front of you as you yourself started to laugh to try to cheer Ken up.

He laughed, but it seemed to be a much more forced and nervous one.

When it got to the very top and you look down even you were starting to get second thoughts since you hadn't ridden one of these things in years, but before you knew it your cart lurched forward as kinetic energy took over with your stomach immediately dropping with the cart.

Screams and laughter took over your ears as hands started to go up in glee as you did the same.

You tried to look over at Ken but the coaster kept on shaking you around that you decided to just keep looking forward to avoid a neck injury.

The ride didn't last as long as you were expecting it to, but that was probably on the account that you were having a blast on it, and once you had gotten off you already wanted to go on again.

Spotting Ken, you looked at his facial expression to see what he thought of the ride.

Emotionless at first, in some type of daze, though as soon as he made eye contact a grin from ear to ear went to his face.

"That was frickin awesome, I want to go on it again!" He yelled whilst jumping up and down.

"Maybe later, we still got another ride I want to try that's an even bigger drop."

"You don't mean...?"

"Yep!" you simply reply.

"Let's go!" This time it's Ken who takes the lead as you chase after him in order for the boundary to not yank him back. You knew he knew what you were referring to as he was heading directly towards the tower.

The tower of terror.

The line for this ride was about the same, though it seemed that it went by faster though you had no clue as to why.

This would be the first time riding this ride as even you were too scared to go on this thing when you were little no matter how much your friends had begged you too.

You were glad at his assessment as the two of you got in line. The group that you were tied to was a rather large family, though because of this they themselves including you were the only ones to ride at that given time. You were kind of lucky since you were riding these rides by yourself, you were an outlier in these large crowds that rode rides together, so there was always an empty seat somewhere since everyone else wanted to ride with their families and friends.

As the room darkened and the narrator began his speech, you saw Ken swaying his body back and forth a little as he looked all around the room with a smile on his face.

You on the other hand, had no smile on your face as you were a little bit scared on what was to come, you didn't really enjoy the drops at roller coasters, and this one was probably going to be ten times that.

"Hey look, we can see the entire pa-." Ken was cut off as the elevator you all were sitting in drastically fell floors below you as everybody started screaming, including you. Ken, on the other hand, was laughing his ass off as the elevator kept on going up and down with drastic height differences. You hadn't eaten anything beforehand but a sick feeling was starting to form in your stomach as you just wanted the ride to fucking end.

You actually ended up closing your eyes, in which Ken seemed to notice.

"Don't tell me you're scared!" He continued to laugh with the drops.

"No, I just feel sick..." You weakly reply.

When the ride finally comes to a stop, the grouped family and Ken get off laughing while you struggle behind trying not to vomit.

"Yeah kid, I think I need a break from rides for a little bit." You say while sitting on a bench.

"Aw really, did you feel that sick from it?" He asked with a mix of disappointment and worry.

"Just give me a couple of minutes kid..." You say while taking a few deep breathes to get your stomach back in functioning order.

"Man you were right though, I really did enjoy those scary rides, I think I want to ride all of them now if those two were the worst ones out of all of them. Let's get those done first before anything else today please?" Ken pleads.

"As long as you give me a few breaks in between Kid then you can get on anything you want today."

Ken smiled at this.

"O.K I understand, I'm going to go check out the nearest line to see how long the wait is O.K? I promise it won't be too much of a scary.

You groan while getting up to your feet.

"I have to come with you remember. Anyway, I'm ready to get anyway so let's do this."

"Hooray!"

[User] You later that day

[Assistant]
You didn't realize that you had been on so many rides until you felt the soreness of your body kick in as the sun had already set awhile ago.

Ken was racing to get on as many rides as he could before the park was to close for the day, and you sluggishly raced after him as fast as your body could keep up. Though when it finally came time to leave, it seemed as if Ken was satisfied as he wasn't begging to stay longer.

On board the bus back to the hotel, Ken kept on talking about the events that had happened throughout this long day.

"Man Space Mountain was probably one of the best rides there, I'm glad we managed to make getting on it before the park closed," Ken states with satisfaction.

"Yeah it was a pretty fun day, even though we did a lot and it felt like we rode everything, it still felt really short." You remark as the bus takes you through the night back to your hotel.

Ken nods in agreement. "Still though, it's not like I'm leaving regretting anything, I did everything I wanted too...". Ken's voice seemed to drop heavily as all the enthusiasm that he had seconds before almost instantly vanished.

"Well that's good, this entire trip was for you to have a good time, I had one too. I honestly wish I could do this every weekend." You say with a little laugh, though Ken doesn't respond, and the rest of the ride is filled with an awkward smile.

Upon arriving at the hotel and getting off the bus, Ken is slow, dragging his feet while you keep looking behind you to make sure you didn't lose him every two or three minutes.

"Everything O.K man?" You asked worryingly since this was really out of place behavior compared to what happened today. Still, there was the silence, though Ken increased the speed at which he was walking this time.

He didn't even bother opening the hotel room door, he just walked straight through it. You've never seen the kid be able to do that and now you were actually starting to worry, hastily opening the door with your key-card, you push it open and look for Ken in the main room, in which he is nowhere to be seen.

"Ken!" You shout heavily, starting to look everywhere around the hotel room to see where he could be.

You finally end up finding him as you see his legs sticking out from under his own bed.

"Ken what the hell are you doing, you scared me. Get out from under there." You order with a sigh of relief.

Seeing that his hiding spot had been compromised, Ken starts to squirm his way out while sitting himself down as he finished doing so, facing away from you.

"Ken you have to tell me what's wrong, you're really starting to worry me. Did something happen on the bus?" You ask, remembering that his change of mood started there.

He weakly shakes his head as he continues to not look at you, which makes you a little frustrated.

You try to grab his shoulders in order to turn him around so that he can face you. Though your arms go straight through his body as the only thing you grasp is air.

Seeing that, that wouldn't work you walk around him and kneel down so that you can get a look at his face.

You kind of cringe a little on the inside when you see all the tears and snot that had built up all over his face, making it one big twisted mess while his red puffy eyes didn't want to make direct eye contact with you.

"Ken you got to tell what's wrong..." You ask again, although this time with a much softer voice.

Ken begins to wipe away the tears and snot from his face, but more keep flowing so it only makes them spread more.

"I tho-thought I was h-happy. But after remembering everything, that I I-I'm going to leave soon. I just g-got scared..." Ken cries with numerous hiccups in between his words.

"I don't want to leave, I had so much fun with you today and now I'm going to forget it all! I know you're going to make me leave as soon as we get home, but I'm not ready to leave...I'm scared.....I want to stay here and keep on having fun with you!" His tears were really falling now, you tried to grab his arm to console him but once again your hands went through his body. This probably had something to do with his emotions.

You didn't really know what to say to him either. He was going to ascend as soon as G gave the word for him to do so. It's not like you didn't want him to stay either, you were having lot's of fun and you wish he could experience more with how young he was when he passed. Though you saw no way around this, he was going to move on whether you liked it or not, the only thing to do now was to try to give a positive outlook on the whole situation.

Sitting down next to Ken you begin to speak.

"Listen, kid. I had a lot of fun with you today, more than I probably had in a long ass time. I don't remember the last time I even went out before this to be honest. Look I know you're scared, I would be too in your situation. What I'm trying to say though is that you should enjoy the memories that you've gotten to experience so far, the fun that you've had up to this point, there's no use in dwelling on the past or on things you can't change. I wasn't a very religious person before all of this, but if I was chosen to help you ascend up into the sky above, then that has to mean you have something to look forward too, something is waiting for you, and who knows maybe it's a lot better than this life." you say, trying to help him feel even a little bit better.

Ken sniffled a little bit more as he wiped his nose with his palm. You didn't know ghosts could cry like this, how it was even possible, but now wasn't the time to question things like this.

"Life's so unfair, I don't know why my dad had to take that bridge, if he hadn't none of this would have happened…"

You let Ken vent a little more as you just sat there in silence since there were some things that you weren't able to refute or deny. The more he vented, however, the calmer he seemed to become, along with acquiring a more lax attitude.

"Is there any way you can visit me...?" Ken asked you, which made your whole body freeze a little.

Taking a moment before responding, you chose your words carefully.

"I mean I'll probably see you again eventually when it's my turn to ascend in the future. Though I'm sure there's some way for me to try to contact you, and if there is then I promise you that'll I'll find it."

"You really promise me that?" Ken asks, with a heavy voice.

"You bet I do."

Ken keeps a bit of eye contact with you, before looking back at his knees while he hugs them.

The two of you sit there in silence until you feel a buzzing from your pocket. Getting out your phone, you see that G had sent you a few messages.

G- Alright so here's the deal, you're going to have to do the ascension there at the hotel room, I was planning on you doing it here, but I don't want to risk anything so get ready to start the preparations.

You feel your heart start to rapidly beat as you type in a reply.

"What the fuck do you mean I have to do it right now? That's way too soon!"

G- Listen to me, if you don't do it now then there might be some complications getting him up. I didn't just spend all that fucking money for you to have a happy make a wish foundation day for this kid just so that he can't fucking ascend, follow the instructions I'm about to send you and get it the fuck done.

G then sends you a list of instructions, much similar to the ones that he had given you when you first bonded with Ken.

Ken seems to see your frustration. "Is something wrong?"

You bite your tongue as the words you want to tell him won't leave your mouth.

"There's.....there's been a slight change in plans."

Another instruction in the list that G had given you said that Ken couldn't be sad while doing this ritual, which would be fucking hard to pull off seeing as what just happen.

"Ken, I'm going to help you ascend right now, it's time to do it." You say, coming off as blunt as possible.

Ken's eye furrowed in a type of fear and panic, as he quickly got up from sitting down, in which you joined him.

"Now listen, it's not anything bad it's ju-."

"Why does it have to be right now! Why can't we just wait a little longer!" Ken cries as he cuts you off.

"I'm sorry but your time has been designated for this moment. Ken, please remember what I said earlier,

[User] You all good things come to a end

[Assistant]
You don't know how much time had passed as you two sat in the hotel room, it had to be one in the morning already though.

Once Ken had stopped crying the second time, you just started to talk to him about his earlier life, and just tried to bring up any question about him you could come up with. At first, he only said single word answers, though as the questions continued he started to get more in depth with what he said until he was bringing up every small detail of whatever he was reminiscing about.

"When they first took my body after the car crash, I couldn't stop freaking out. I tried to get the attention of the rescuers, but nobody saw me, and I cried for so long on top of that bridge. It came to the point in where I couldn't stand to be up there, so I decided to go under the bridge where I thought it would be quiet. Turns out a lot of people died there, so I was never really lonely, but that's when I really found out that I was dead, and there was nothing I could do about it..."

"I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you sooner Ken, really I wish that there was more of my kind that could help you guys, the amount of time some people have to wait to be helped is ridiculous."

"Please make sure everyone at that bridge get's out of there like me, one of the men there said that he had been there for over a year, I was probably the one with the least amount of time spent there, I don't even know why you picked me first."

You didn't have the heart to tell this kid the only reason G picked him is that he thought making him happy would be easy. If that was how these people filtered out which ghosts were worth saving, then who knows how long some of the spirits would have to wait before being saved.

This whole system was shit, but that wasn't something to be worrying about right now, you would talk about it with G when the time was right.

"I promise I'll get everyone out of that bridge kid."

He nods, and stays silent for a moment as if trying to find something else to say.

"I think I'm ready."

"Are you sure? If you need a little more time, I'm not even tired." You say, although lying a little bit.

Ken shakes his head though. "If I think about it anymore it's only going to get worse in my head, this is as ready as I'll be I think."

With that Ken stands up, and you do as well.

The two of you look at each other for a bit, and a bitter small smile appears on Ken's face as he outstretches his hand.

"Thank you for the fun day today, and for getting me on a plane, you really did a lot for what time you had with me."

"Well thanks for being such a good kid about everything, hanging out with you was like hanging out with someone my own age, you're a really smart kid. Wherever you're going to end up, I know you'll come out on top."

Ken laughs a little, and so do you. At this point, your eyes start to sting, but you keep your head held high as you outstretch your hand in which both of you have your palms clasped with one another, just like at the start.

"Don't forget my face when I find you again." You say, knowing in your heart it was about to happen.

"Never." His kiddish eyes glowed, and they glowed. Until all was white.

It had happened.

Your hand felt nothing, and nothing was there.

Ken was gone.

[User] You ascension

[Assistant]
G- Hah, with how I've changed my order of things, I was able to shave off a few days since my contact quota. If things go right we should be able to finish this quota within the next week, good job kid, you're going to turn out to be an efficient member of this group if you keep this performance up, now get some rest and make sure to catch the plane tomorrow.

G had left you alone after the congratulations, but you weren't feeling very happy. in fact, you were feeling like shit. If you had to go through this every single time you were to help ascend a spirit, then you didn't want to do this at all. Though you doubt that you had a say in this matter anyway, the only thing you could do on your own part was to make sure that these spirits didn't suffer, and are at least happy before they ascend.

Though if every single one of your guides was to be like G in the future, then this was going to be one hell of a ride.

You had asked G after the congratulations if there was any way to contact spirits and the response you got was that only certain classes of your kind were able to perform such acts, and G didn't know or come in contact with anyone who had such powers, apparently, they were a very rare bunch.

Still, if there was a chance you were able to contact Ken in the future, then you had to find a way to do so, at least to see how he was doing.

You didn't think G would be giving you any breaks if he finds a new spirit to help soon enough, tired as you were from only a few days of work, you couldn't stop until you finished your quota, and helped these spirits ascend. To hell with the quota actually, you had to find a way to do this permanently.

You were going to help these spirits.

Someone has to take a bigger initiative.

That person was you.

and so starts the adventures to come.

[User] You shadowy Agenda (More history and goals)

[Assistant]
In the years you've been here, you've learned much more about the Shadow Guard's plans along with their history, which of course has a much positive spin than the usual things the Empire puts out about them or the common perception.

Before the Empire, the worshippers of Dendrin made their home in the Derlerg province. However, only a special few became "shadows" and they became more like protectors and holy people of the territory. Whole villages were dedicated to the worship of Dendrin, but there was no crusade or oppression of those who did not. Dendrin was not a deity that encouraged conversion by the sword, which is more than can be said for the Empire when they eventually arrived.

When the Empire (Still known as the Qualan Empire at the time) came to Derlerg, the people were unsure of what to do. Most wanted to fight off this potential aggressor, but instead they asked for the guidance of their Dendrin priests. The shadows then consulted each other, and finally Dendrin.

The answer to all surprised his faithful. Dendrin told them to surrender without a fight. He told them to not only surrender, but to swear loyalty to this "so called Emperor" and offer to be part of his armies. He said he knew where their true loyalties lay and that all would be revealed in time.

He told them to ask for only one stipulation of the Empire and that was that they are allowed to continue their worship and to never mention his name except among each other. (Hence why you've never heard the name of Dendrin, until you joined the Shadow Guard)

Trusting in Dendrin, the shadows obeyed. When they asked for an audience with the emperor they did exactly what Dendrin told them to. The Emperor was amazed and even overjoyed at such an offer. When he saw the powers that the shadows offered, he accepted their loyalty without many other questions. He was still hesitant about their insistence on their religion, but this was during a time when the Empire was less restrictive about such things and after proving themselves several times in the following years, the Emperor dismissed their worship as silly superstition, but ultimately not a threat to his power.

ed to decades and the Derlerg province eventually assimilated completely to the Empire. Most of the people who once worshipped Dendrin, didn't anymore and the new generation born were completely ignorant of him. However his shadows still kept the faith like they were suppose to, but there were still so few, and that's when Dendrin came to them again. He told them that they must start actively looking for worthy candidates to join or preferably, to breed with each other to produce more shadows.

This was a new order by Dendrin to actively recruit as opposed to people seeking out Dendrin themselves, but once again, the shadows obeyed. The Empire certainly didn't mind having more shadows to serve it either. It was around this time that the decree came that the Shadow Guard proper was formed to serve as a type of internal security since the Empire was growing larger and needed to weed out dissidents. Some most likely objected to this trust in the shadows, but the Emperor was convinced of their loyalty so they were elevated to the status they are today.

Unfortunately for him, the Emperor would've done well to be more paranoid and to have listened to his advisors at the time.

The Shadow Guard have been planning, and scheming and waiting since the very beginning to overthrow the Empire. Dendrin foresaw that if they resisted in the beginning they would've been crushed. True the Empire would've suffered losses, but his followers would've been wiped out completely, and without followers what use is a god?

Now centuries have passed. The Shadow Guard is so entrenched in the Empire that if it were to rebel now, as it surely will, the Empire would surely be vastly damaged and most likely fall. Right now the shadow guard's duty is to root out dissidents and that's true up to a point. Some are immediately passed over to the Empire to keep up appearances, others are killed if they prove unhelpful, but for those that are too useful to turn over and are willing to help, then they join the "normal" resistance that the Shadow Guard has been building up over the years. When the revolution comes, it won't just be the shadows rebelling.

Strangely, there doesn't seem to be any grand plans to "take over" though. The main goal seems to be overthrowing the Empire and gaining "freedom". This seems very odd to you. You could understand better if there was a system in place for the shadows to take power afterwards, but why would they want to overthrow something, only to leave anarchy behind?

It would seem the shadows are intending to do just that, and then a mass exodus back to the Delerg province to rebuild their old temple and continue to worship Dendrin. Nothing more, nothing less.

While you should find everything about this agenda repugnant, you can't help but respect and admire the patience and planning of such a cunning plan. You doubt if you could maintain such a facade for so long. Then again you've been blending in as one of them for two years now and your own loyalty isn't necessarily to them.

Perhaps you've come to respect the Shadow Guard so much because you've started to think like them…

With a low, rumbling snarl, you slowly approach the dying creature with almost disinterest in the creature. You raise your claw, striking with all your force as you smash the creature's skull against the wall, crushing its head against the stone wall and killing it instantly.

You stare at the creature's limp, dead corpse, ignoring the dying creature. You move away from the creature, heading deep into the darkness once more.

You spend several minutes walking through the darkness, before you find yourself prowling through a new plethora of senses. You find yourself in a large, cavernous room, glowing with golden light. A bonfire sits in the center of the cavern, warming your tired bones. Three corpses of cooked meat hang from the ceiling, blood dripping down in an appetizing fashion. You stare at them, licking your lips for a moment, before changing focus. There's a row of strange, bright glowing lights to the side, showing bizarre tiny forests in the distance. A metal table sits to the side, covered with strange objects, alongside a wall where many more things hang.

Light. Heat. Warm. Fire! Bright! EAT! Meat! Flesh! Kill! FEED! NOISES! HUMANS! KILL! SLAUGHTER!

You shake your head, your mind awash with new sensations, trying to let your instincts take over. You calm yourself, and your eyes flicker open as you examine the room. You find yourself smelling what looks to be dried blood, encrusted on one of the bizarre objects. You dip your snout forward, examining it cautiously. It seems to be covered in burning metal and cold metal, a bizarre combination of the two strange materials.

You pause, hearing the sound of distant howling down the tunnels. It doesn't seem to be drawing closer, instead drawing fainter and fainter as the pack of werewolves screaming goes further and further a way. You feel drawn to it, curious as to what it could be, but a small mind deep in your head seems to recognize the object with a strange familiarity.

[User] You investigate the object

[Assistant]
You push your head up to the bizarre object, sniffing. The outside seems to be made of burning metal, its very aura unnerving you, but the inside is made of colder metal, and you gently press your nose against it, smelling it. It smells ever so faintly of blood, and...

Suddenly, the device snaps shut, slicing through your nose as you scream out in pain, collapsing back. The object traps your face in its burning saws, sending waves of burning pain through you. Blood pours down your snout as you scream, the tip of your nose messily hacked off, beginning to burn. You yank your face back, breaking free of the device and spraying the area with a light mist of blood as you find yourself collapsing to the ground, darkness hitting you in waves which contrast with the waves of burning pain, as you're left lying there, your body breaking and burning with pain once again.

You don't know whether it's hours, minutes or seconds later, but soon, you find sanity once again. You slowly take breath through your lips, which are torn up, cut and bleeding, your upper lip barely hanging on. Thankfully, the healing factor of the werewolves has left your upper lip scabbing up in a mismatched mess of colors. You nose is heavily damaged, smell somewhat obscured in your left nostril from the dried blood and pus clogging it. You scratch at it, a thin stream of warm blood running down your face. You groan, before finding the strength left in you.

Knowing that it's too late for you to just lay down and die, you take a deep breath, focusing your remaining strength of what you can find inside you. You roll to your knees, resting a hand against the cold earth as you relax your tired muscles, looking around the room.

The room must've been a mineshaft intersection at one point. It's been rigged up with lights and electricity, with a large desk stacked with television screens in the corner of the room. You peer over at them, watching the various scenes of the forest. It must be another bunch of cameras connected to the screens.

Your eyes flicker to the hung up "meat" ahead of you, hanging from the ceiling, as you begin to feel sick. The mutilated, bleeding corpses of Hans Hirsch, Russel Sloane and Father Charles Féval hang from the ceiling, blood dripping down and pooling underneath them. Russel Sloane's been hacked apart, his face a crushed mess, his body missing dozens of chunks of flesh all over him from the pickings the werewolves chewed off him. Hans Hirsh is even less so, his upper body entirely missing, only a pair of legs in gray trousers with black, polished boots. You recognize him from his boots, and his boots alone.

Father Féval's body still bares the marks of your shotgun blast, his chest blown apart, ribs hanging down to the ground. He's the most intact corpse there, yet the most gruesome. His face is stuck forever in an expression of fear and pain, his eyes dead and hollow, completely lifeless. You reach for your knife to cut them down, sighing as you realize its not there, and you're several outfits from the one you dressed yourself in this morning. Hell, maybe you should leave them up there anyway. At least the rats won't get there.

You feel a pang of hunger, and draw your eyes away from your comrades. You won't disgrace them like that.

Scanning the room, you find yourself staring at the table propped up against the wall, stacked with various items. Cellphones, guns, knives, ammo, equipment and an assortment of other items.

At the

Then, there's the tunnel. A long, dark cavern going in the other direction that you've went down. The howls you heard came from down there. That's where the wolves are. That's where you'll need to go to finish this.

You look down at the map ahead of you, a sprawled out blueprints of the mine. Scanning it quickly, your old eyes take in the information you need. Though you're weak in Norway, you manage to make out the notes sprawled across the page. There's a dozen designations across the various areas in the mine. Judging by where you came in, you're in the "Security Room". There's also the "Sleeping Chambers", "(HUMAN) Sleeping Chambers", "Feeding Area", and...

You pause, tapping your finger. The "Mine Equipment Storage Area (Armory)". Given the impressive arsenal of explosives that was at the scout house, there'd be even more explosives there at the armory. Enough to take down a mine. If there's even a fraction more explosives there, there might be enough to collapse the mine on itself and to kill all the beasts that prowl these mines. Perhaps you might find some use there. It's as good a place to start as any, given you won't be able to take down the horde with firearms alone.

You turn your head, hearing a low growl nearby, only to find yourself staring at the blank stone walls. You squint your eyes, making out murals among them. Blood red images crudely painted, depicting fearsome creatures and other scenes. Interesting.

[User] You investigate the table

[Assistant]
You walk over to the table, examining the items. Revolvers, pistols, blades, a shotgun, a rifle, an assault weapon... you pause, realizing what you're looking at. These are the weapons, gear and general items taken from the corpses at the crash site. You see your own silver dagger lying there, realizing they must've gathered up your weapons and what fell from the tatters of your clothes. You trace your fingers alongside your personal shotgun which lies there on the table, staring at the silver shells that lie alongside it. You notice Hans' dog tags, Father Féval's silver cross, the items that remind you of the others.

However, just as you're about to turn away, you notice another object lying on the table. You lean over it, slowly examining it. The cell phone from earlier. The one given to you by Mr Gaange. You look at it, flipping it open, revealing its at half charge, its screen brightly chirping at you with a beep as it turns on. The phone starts up on the CONTACTS page, with a single number, with the contact name Mr Black.

You pause for a moment, wondering whether to call. Perhaps he has the ability to deal with the threat here. To avenge your comrades. Of course... a deal with the dark isn't your ideal choice.

[User] You call Mr Gaange

[Assistant]
You sigh, pressing the number. It rings for a few second, a bright, electronic noise, before it stops.

"Hello," a deep voice answers.

"I'm looking for Mr Gaange. I need that favor."

A light chuckle comes through the phone.

"Already? My, my, someone's been having fun. What do you need?"

"I'm here in the mineshaft just North of that fucking country house your lieutenant was holed up in. There's a werewolf pack based here, with servants helping them and large numbers. I need them wiped out."

"Yes, that does seem like an issue. Well, it's a serious favor, but it is in my interest to deal with these whelps and mongrels either way, they'll be a threat. You do know this means you agree to serve me, don't you?"

You pause for a moment, the room silent.

"I do."

"Good. Then let's get down to it."

You tell Mr Gaange everything you know about the pack and your location, before he stops you.

"That's enough. I have all I need. You're lucky, I have a team nearby covering what happened with my lieutenant. See if you can last another fifteen minutes, and I'll do the rest."

"OK," you answer heavily. "OK."

"Good. Best of luck, Mr Matasan."

The phone line goes dead, as you slowly move to the table ahead of you, picking up your shotgun, loading it carefully. You grab Father Féval's silver crucifix, leaning against the wall and sliding down it into a sitting position. You prop the shotgun up in your hands, aiming it at the tunnel ahead of you, and wait.

The waiting is long and hard. Blood loss and exhaustion is an issue, and you focus to stay alert now that the night's adrenaline has calmed. In addition to that, the beast within is howling and roaring, and at several points you have to harshly dig your silver crucifix into your bullet wound, the roar of burning pain and the cross' silver driving the wolf back for a while.

Suddenly, you see a figure entering the room, clad all in black. The figure wears black combat armor with a black gas mask, an assault rifle in his hands. The figure immediately swivels his gun to aim at you, dropping to a knee.

"Drop your weapons!" he yells, his voice muffled by his gas mask.

[User] You open fire!

[Assistant]
You grab your shotgun, swinging it off the table and aiming it at the trooper. He's faster, however, unnaturally fast, raising his gun and dropping to his knees. He raises his assault rifle, firing with a blast as bullets thud into your chest.

The silver rounds tear through your heart, as you collapse backwards, sliding down the wall and leaving a trail of blood. You gasp, as the world begins to go black, the strength pouring out of your body.

"Enemy combatant down, move in!" he says in a deep voice, motioning to the rest of his squad.

You watch as a squad of the soldiers enter the room, clad in black and wielding the same guns. Feeling the silver bullets burn in your chest as he fades black, you feel a glimmer of hope. You're dying tonight, but so are the werewolves. Tonight, Fenrir's put down.

Minutes later, when Mr Gaange's men move your body from the mineshaft, they wonder why you're smiling.

[User] You ask her about the Gahl'vuhr Sehn

[Assistant]
"I should have anticipated such a question from you, Unworthy," the captain says, scowling. "The Gahl'vuhr Sehn is a governing body which oversees all operations and protocol undertaken by us Auvahrs, as well as Tenurs and some subspecies of Comors. They strictly enforce the rules and policies put in place to maintain some sense of order among the sky islands, although Unworthy ones such as yourself are unfortunately exempt from such regulations.

"However, it has probably not escaped your notice that Gahl'vuhr Sehn has their work cut out for them at the moment. Just a bit of chaos going around, that's all, thanks to what's going on at the surface. I should also mention that just because myself and my crew are members of the Gahl'vuhr Sehn, we are not especially high-ranking in the organisation." She cocks her head to one side. "Perks of the job, you might say. It's probably the only reason why I let Mother Ghared save your skin."

You have never heard of this Gahl'vuhr Sehn, not in all your years living at your island. Rules and regulations? You and your family have never needed such things. That's the whole point of life in the sky islands. You are free. The thought of other people trying to limit such unrestrained freedom makes you feel rather worried about what might be really going on.

[User] You concentrate on its mind, if you get control of that then you can use it to let you escape.

[Assistant]
You lash out at Nate's mind but find it protected, you push with everything you can to force your way in and register that its stopped moving at least while your try. The defense is slippery though, every time you think you have forced a way in, you find it there again. You finally think you have it when you feel a sudden spike against your own mind. Your defenses hold but you are stunned for a second.

Your senses return just in time to register that your right arm and ribcage is crushed and you are flying at a tremendous speed directly at the wall.

You impact with a sickeningly hard crunch and feel more ribs breaking. "Oh dear me folks, the Lords just indicated to me that instead of fighting Nate, the idiot tried to attack his mind and steal him from them! That left him wide open for Nate's punch! Give the man a hand though, I never seem anything that didn't turn into jelly at one of those hits never mind still be moving!"

You cough up blood and stagger to your feet. Just in time for Nate to reach you again. You even see the punch coming but can't get out of the way in time and take it full to the chest. You get slammed back into the wall and know your done for, your organs are jelly and your blood is pooling at your feet.

"And it's over folks, even if he is still breathing, he isn't moving! That's a win in two punches for Nate the sentinel, always a crowd favorite even if his opponent was weak.

You want to protest and tell them you weren't weak when just register being lifted in the air. "Oh and Nate is hungry folks!" you hear right before the crunch.

[User] You take the bat

[Assistant]
You've never used a spear before, so you aren't even sure if you'd use something like that effectively. Better to stick with something you're used to.

Jack puts on one of the furs as well and grabs his axe and the pair of you are out the door. The sun shines down and you feel the cold wind blow.

"Shit, even with these furs on I forgot how cold it was." You say.
"We'll get another big fire started when we get back." Jack says.
"I'll look forward to it, so which way?"
"Oh to the left and then past some trees, it's not hard to find."

You and Jack make your way to the infamous outhouse. You both look around periodically, but see nothing dangerous.

Eventually you get to your goal and it looks exactly like you thought it would.

"Well this is it." You say.
"I'll be out here. Keeping a look out." Jack responds.

You enter the outhouse and endure the unavoidable. Thankfully Jack makes no attempt to speak to you while you're inside.

Eventually you come out and start putting your hands in the snow. Jack watches you and then goes back to looking around.

"Well, wasn't as bad as I thought, I'm still missing modern plumbing though. Wish we had soap too." You say.
"I guess if you want to sanitize your hands even more I suppose you could pour some of that mead we have at the cabin on them."
"Will that work?"
"It's got alcohol in it, I assume it can't hurt. You ready to go?"
"Yeah, you see anything out here?"
"Nah, just a few more of those white rabbits I always see hopping around."

As you and Jack make your way back to the cabin, you and he speak on if either one of you knows anything about hunting. You of course know nothing, Jack says he's not much better, though he thinks maybe you both could start making simple traps or something, especially given that there are obviously rabbits around here to be caught.

"Wish we had the Internet so we could at least look all this shit up. God, I really miss the Internet…I think this is the longest I've been without it and I suppose those days are over as well." You say as you approach the cabin.
"Oh, you don't know. We're still just stuck out here in the wilderness, like I said, maybe there is Internet and hover cars somewhere else."
"Love that optimism Jack…" you say chuckling and heading towards the door.
"Hey Suzy, wait is that blood in the snow?"

You and Jack both stop a few feet away from the cabin, you're still closest to the door, which suddenly swings open.

Before you, you see a man with a good amount of facial hair and wearing several furs and clothing much more suited for this sort of weather.

He's not completely standing upright, but is in a somewhat stooped position as if wounded which judging from the blood in the snow is probably the case. While it's difficult to tell his facial expression due to the hair, his eyes are wide as if he's surprised, desperate or possibly even afraid. Maybe a mixture of all three.

The major thing you see however is the crossbow he's holding and pointing at you and Jack.

The man shouts something at you in a language you don't understand and before you can duck or get out of the way he fires a bolt and at this range his aim is still sound. You feel the piecing object go into your heart and you fall to the ground.

Jack screams your name and attacks the man who is desperately attempting to reload his crossbow.

You however never know if Jack avenges your death.

[User] You shoot at the crying young woman.

[Assistant]
Your aim is true. The bullet enters the neck of the crying woman and she falls on top of the victim now covered in bees. She begins touching the man's face and shoulders and soon her head falls lifelessly on top of his. The mob is in awe of what just happened.

Soon, the bees consume the mob and slowly both the woman and the man get to their feet. Hand in hand they motion toward you. The buzzing becomes louder as both the woman and man embrace, bees consuming their bodies.

"Thank you." the woman says. It seems to whispered into your heart. You feel a great joy and relief for the couple.

Happiness overcomes you and you settle down next to the tree. Soon you drift to sleep in a deep relaxing slumber.

You awaken in your truck. It's parked in front of a sign on the side of a dusty old road. It reads: Goblin Valley 5 miles ahead.

"Wow, what a dream." you think as you fumble in your pockets for your keys. Instead you find an old pocketwatch. You open it and find the sketch of the two you saw in your dream. The happiness warms your heart as you find the keys in the ashtray of your truck. You head on to Goblin Valley and to see your uncle...

It's getting dark and you got to get moving.

[User] You board one of the transports

[Assistant]
Zana had a good idea; the transports could use a little extra protection so you decide to get on one of them.

After about a half hour you finally get used to the idea of being so high in the air and less paranoid. You didn't think it possible for you to be, but somewhere in the back of your mind, you had the concern of this thing falling out of the sky which is probably why you haven't stayed in one place on the ship for very long and have felt the need to pace about it.

Just as you're getting used to the long flight over the ocean, you are suddenly in for something extremely unexpected.

The a few of the Storm III's cannons suddenly fire upon your transport ship! The transport you're on is hit severely and is set ablaze along with several of the crew killed. More than that though is from this distance you can also see the Storm III suffering its own explosions in several places. You have no idea what is going on, but it's obvious some sort of treachery has occurred. The only other thing you see is a figure jumping off the Storm and then a large odd piece of what you guess is white fabric comes out of the figure that jumped, slowing the descent.

Meanwhile your ship slowly starts veering towards the other transport while continuing to burn around you. Between the collision, the fire and the other explosions going on aboard the ship you are caught in this disaster and even your magic can't save you. One explosion knocks you unconscious and you aren't awake when the wreckage finally hits the ocean.

[Assistant]
Ah the basement. The refuge of all who refuse to move out of the house for whatever reason.

Some of them are dreamers who just can't fit into proper society.

Some of them have potential, but due to personality quirks fame has escaped them.

And finally 99% of them are just downright pathetic losers that just fail at life.

So choose one of these basement dwellers and enjoy the desperation and horror of their tales! You may come to find that they are just like you. In fact chances are, you'll think someone wrote a biography about you!

[User] The Ebay Escapist (This one's for the classic randomness!)

[Assistant]
You wake up and dread the fact that you've entered the real world again. The dream world will have to wait until later.

You don't like real world, never have. It's why you like to sleep. It allows you to get away from the reality for a little while. It's also why you prefer to hang out on your computer all night and day.

It's not really because you're afraid of the real world, it's just that you don't have that much interest in it. Sometimes it can be fascinating, but over all you just find it to be involve so much boring tedium that you'd prefer to remove yourself as much as you can from it.

It's also probably why you're over 18 and still living at home.

You're a basement dweller.

Fortunately you're one of the productive ones. You contribute to the household by buying and selling useless shit on Ebay. Unfortunately this is still "work" and as a result, it's a hassle so you probably don't put as much effort as you should into it. In fact you're more inclined to keep the stuff you buy due to your interest in odd things.

Despite your limiting of outside world contact, you can't help but feel like something different is going to happen today. You start daydreaming about possible things that could happen to you until you quickly snap yourself out of it.

As much as you'd like to waste time daydreaming, playing video games or other time wasting activities on the internet, you probably should go to "work."

Well don't just sit there with a thumb up your ass, you gonna buy useless shit, or sell it?

[User] You buy useless shit

[Assistant]
You decide to buy more useless shit. You can never have enough, you fuckin' obsessed pack rat.

Okay well some of this shit isn't useless, and might even do you some good. Certain items catch your eye.

You see a car that's made completely out of asbestos! How cool would that be? You could drive through fire and be none the worse for wear! True you rarely go out anymore, but maybe this would be the thing that could do it!

You see a bomb shelter for sale made of xentronium armor. Could be useful in these dangerous times we live in and it'll definitely provide you more protection than the basement.

There's a small island made of Styrofoam in the middle of the ocean. It says it's held together by hemp. While you've never been one for the beaches and sun, you wonder if you could rent it out some how. Maybe movie producers would pay you to use it or something.

Actually perhaps something more practical might be good, there's some toilet paper for sale. You know you always need that!

Finally, you see a building for sale; it doesn't really give a description. It just says "Generic Gray Building" It might be a good thing to invest in since you're getting tired of hearing your Mom's moans of ecstasy at night when she's masturbating with her 400 horse powered vibrator. A place of your own might be in order.

[User] You buy the car! It's Asbestoriffic!

[Assistant]
The car! You gotta get the car! As much as you don't fit in to society, you still have urges, and even you think that having a real life girl would be better than wackin' it every once in awhile You figure you might get a girlfriend if you get a car. After all chicks like cars right?

Not so fast there, asbestos boy. You gotta buy it first and a few other people seem to have the same "great idea" you have.
Eventually the bidding war is won by you, for an even $5000. There goes all the money you have in the world.

You're probably going to have to sell your prized Harlequin Baby Art Collection to make that money back, but who can put a price on the endless supply of pussy you'll be getting from this cool car?

Eventually the car arrives outside your house along with keys and an instruction booklet on your doorstep saying "READ ME FIRST!" on the front cover.

Guess they really want you to read the instructions first.

[User] You read the instructions

[Assistant]
Well you didn't get to be a basement dweller by being adventurous so you read the instructions first. Good thing too, there' a bunch of safety precautions to the car. Namely due to the extremely high levels of asbestos in the car, going in it without a hazmat suit would be fatal. Fortunately you just happen to have one. Unfortunately you only have one, which means that any lady that's remotely impressed by it won't be able to get in the thing without dying shortly thereafter. So unless you plan on becoming a necrophiliac, you have to come up with a new plan. (Though becoming a necrophiliac is plan B)

As you're suiting up, you think about how you're going to impress possible ladies with the car, without actually letting them get in it. You got it! A stunt! Chicks like daredevils right?

You got a bunch of compost in the backyard, A LOT. You get the idea to take that compost and put it in the middle of the street, set it on fire and then drive through it!

Enthusiastically you start grabbing compost and going through with your plan. It probably would've been a better idea to at least use a fuckin' SHOVEL on the compost instead of picking it up with your fuckin' hands you silly motherfucker. Oh well at least you're wearing a hazmat suit

Anyway you smell REALLY awful and you've just made the entire block smell that way too, when you light it on fire. This act has finally come to the attention of all the neighbors who are giving you holy hell about it.

"Jesus fucking Christ! It smells like a dead bum who just sprayed diarrhea on himself during a heat wave!" one of them shouts.

An angry mob is starting to form…

[User] You escape in your car

[Assistant]
Realizing you can't possibly calm them down or fight them, you quickly get in the car and start it. The car belches toxic fumes of its own causing the mob to back off a little as they begin to puke and and tear up from all the foulness in the air.

The shortest way to escape is through the burning compost. So part of you hopes that between the puking and tears that some of the cuter chicks on the block will still see your stunt

You barrel down the flaming compost pile…

SPLUNGE

You don't quite make it!

It seems you made the compost pile a little too thick and even at the high speed you were going the car couldn't quite make it all the way through. Instead you got struck right in the middle of the compost until it enveloped you completely, effectively trapping you.
Fortunately the car is made of asbestos so you're protected from getting burned to death. Unfortunately the car still runs on gasoline…

Your car explodes spectacularly throwing hot shit and asbestos pieces everywhere, not to mention killing many of the mob that were already in a state of extreme sickness at this point. The whole block is later quarantined and treated as a biohazard dump.

You of course died instantly, BUT you did get your wish! You made front page news and became a sex symbol for lonely necrophiliac women who thought you were so cool for dying in your car like that.
