Sit. A special changeling
A harsh day
Previous ChapterNext ChapterFirst day in the pit.
Sit and his new 'comrade' that didn't have a name so far were waiting for 2 hours now. The royal drones disappeared the moment Sit entered the pit but he knew they wouldn't be far when he tried to escape. He looked over to the big changeling that regenerated quickly after Sit fixed him up from inside.
"Heey. Didd you thinck of a name alredy?" talking was still a problem for him. But he got better. Waiting for the reaction of his grim looking 'friend'.
"Stop bothering... I am still thinking bout it... Why do I even need a name?"
"I tohld you. I want too remember you. And fohr that you need a name." He was slowly getting better at it.
"Fine... Then call me Black. That is the colour of my plates and it is a name. Now start to speak properly or use telepathy. That will make things a lot easier."
"No! I don’t lik that wierd talkin in my hed. But Black is a name. At last somthing. So... Wen do you think wil they come? You kno who I am talking bout."
Black grinned. "Couple of minutes. at max. I still wonder why no one got here... Must've been your scary dead rising show. Will you do that again when one tries to get us?"
"No. I wil do what I did with yu. Take him ovar. If he is strong I will lett him life aftar I made sure he obeis. If he is veak... Then I will kill him..."
The bigger changeling shivered as he remembered the feel of Sit entering his body and taking over his body. How he went through his veins and made his blood stop and nearly made him burst."Never do that to me again. Please... I promise I will follow you."
"Good... Now be quit... They ar coming."
As Black looked up he saw a few of the bigger changelings appeared at the edge of the pit. They were not as tall as Black except one or two. They still hesitated as one of the bigger changeling jumped down. He was smiling full of himself just concentrated on the bigger one of the two changeling at the bottom He didn't see what happened before and thought that the small one wouldn't be a problem after he was done with the big one.
As he landed Black already was prepared and stood up to him ready to fight. Sit was behind the changeling that jumped in without hesitating like the others do. Did. Two more changelings jumped down as well. A little smaller as the one who jumped in first but still bigger then Sit.
One of them landed in front of Sit the other one next to Black and the big one who landed. It was obvious that he would attack the winner or at least would attack when the two others were exhausted and wounded. The one in front of Sit grinned. He just heard about a really strong changeling in the pit but he thought that it was the other one and that this one was just easy prey.
He was wrong. Sit rushed towards him what surprised the changeling who thought he would win without resistance. He took a step back to catch the jumping small changeling with no wings but as he touched him his hooves just went through him and Sit fell directly into his face while he had his liquid form.
He entered the totally confused and head shaking changeling through the nose and ears and didn't even bother to take control of him and just crushed his brain with becoming half solid inside his head. The still surprised changeling died without understanding his death.
His friend saw all that and stood there in shock. That was when Black attacked him and flipped his neck before the other one could react. The first one who jumped in and didn't see what happened behind his back attacked Black in return. Sit saw it through the eyes of the now dead changeling. He saw how the changeling that attacked Black flew up a little and dropped down on Black as he let go of the dead changeling who's neck he just flipped and tried to block of the attack but he didn't make it in time.
Both fell to the ground. And as Black tried to get up he looked in the grinning face of the changeling that attacked him and before he was able to dodge he had a hoof slammed against his head that made him fall over again. He saw how everything went blur and heard the other changeling laugh until he suddenly stopped and his laughing turned into a wet gurgle as Sit, who slipped out of the other body, got into his mouth and nose and started to take him over.
After a short struggle it was over and the changeling stood there with empty eyes just looking straight to the ground. A couple of seconds later green blood ran out of his mouth and nose and then a black liquid came out. It was Sit. He decided that it would be best to kill this one instead of taking him as a servant. He didn't want to mess it with up with Black.
"Can yu get up?"
"Yes... Thank you Sit..." He grabbed the hoof Sit was holding out to him and stood up. He was still a little shaky but he could stand. His vision got better as well.
"Can you get out of that shithead now? I want to kick him and beat him and rip him apart" Black was pissed and grinned in a dangerous way.
"Feel free." The black fluid ran out faster now and just a few seconds later Sit took form again next to the still standing body of the dead changeling.
"I made him stand... Now it is mor fun for you." Sit slowly got used to speaking.
"I better don't ask how... But thank you." He grinned even brighter and took his time to enjoy it. He started with hitting the changeling who attacked him and then he really started.
A couple of minutes later there wasn't much left of the changeling. Lust a puddle of green blood and a lot pieces and sharps. Some innards lay around.
"AAhh. That was a relief. Thanks again for saving my ass... But why did you kill him? he was stronger then me apparently"
"I... Don nott think so. He got you by surprise... And I didn't like hiim."
"That's it? You didn't like him? And you really think I'm stronger? He beat the shit out of me." Black seemed surprised and looked directly at Sit who sat around on a stone.
"Yes... Well I think they have enugh for now. They will try agan. But for now they ar scared." He was looking up to the edges of the pit. Three changelings were standing there and watching. They were much to small and looked at each other too.
"Hey! You thre! If you stay away from us you may figt down here. And the winer is allowed to stay if he likes. We promise safaty." Sit was pretty sure that was a good offer to them. After a short moment of hesitation two of the changelings jumped down the pit.
It was a short fight. The winner was covered in wounds and bite marks. He looked unsure over to Black and then to Sit. He realised some time ago that Sit had to be in charge. Black just looked away and rolled his eyes. Sit nodded and smiled a little. The wounded changeling looked relieved and walked over to Sit and made a little way around Black.
Black grinned and made a sudden move to scare the, in his eyes, little changeling. Still bigger then Sit but small. The small changeling jumped a little and looked really scared at Black who just started to laugh got a really disappointed look from Sit who then turned to the new 'underling'.
"It's fine. He won't hurt you if you don't give him a reason. So well... Welcome to the group. What is your name?" Sit looked at the changeling not really expecting anything though.
"Facet... You see my eyes?... They are... a little of or? I have highly evolved.... facet eyes,,," The voice of Facet was really weak and he made weird pauses
"Oh. They look really different. What use does they have?" Sit started to get curious. He sat up and looked at Facets eyes closer.
"I see... like four thousand pictures at once... My brain is mostly... Focused on working on that... So I have... To make... Short breaks... While talking... Also while moving... So to move freely... I have to close... One eye..." It took over a minute for Facet to say that. He looked around while doing it and it seemed that every move anything made got his attention.
"That is fascinating... Don't you think so too Black? He could actually be useful."
"How?" Black wasn't really listening. He was looking around to see if someone was foolish enough to attack. The third changeling was gone. Not that Black cared. He just noticed it.
"Like this. Facet? You know what I can dho? I will enter your body. Don't worrie you won't die. Just... Trust me. If I wanted you dead you would be ded or?" Sit stood up and carefully walked over to Facet who looked nervously in every direction the same time and moved his head fast and sudden to see anything around.
"Yes... I saw it... Saw it all... You will enter... Through my mouth... Ears, nose maybe... Eyes... But if you... Say you won't... Kill me then... I will trust... You..." Facet was smiling nervously. He still had a lot of wounds and knew that he had no chance resisting even if Sit was a little smaller.
"Good. Now just stand still.* Sit turned into his liquid form and crawled up on Facet who still nervously looked everywhere and especially every move the puddle made that crawled up on him. Then he was surprised. Sit entered through his wounds and when he was done with it they were healed. Well they looked healed but Facet saw that there was actually a really thin and fine layer of chitin over it.
Parts of Sit to patch up the wounds but then he suddenly felt how he got fuller. He felt how Sit moved through his body and tried to fit in any gap he could find. Some rest was left out and ran down on Facets skin. After a couple of seconds Sit reached Facets brain. And he started to understand what problems Facet had to struggle with. The brain was running on highest gear and still couldn't keep up with all the pictures it got.
Sit started to see a few of them and then did what he came for. He took them all in. Well not all but most of them. His brain felt like it was bursting even in his liquid form so he let go of them.
At the outside Facet looked confused around. He knew that he still had the same eyes but he didn't get as much pictures as he normally got and he felt how his other senses and everything else began to work better. But it went over again and he got all pictures the same time again shutting down his entire body as his brain tried to keep up to the information.
But then slowly it got better again. In the end he thought that he just saw half of the pictures he got. He felt weird. Relieved on the one hoof but also a little blind on the other. But in the moment he started to speak and realised that he didn't need to pause because his brain was working well he felt so happy.
"B-Black? I... Hey! Wait! I-I can speak! Hahah! Speak! Really fast! Listen. I am Facet a changeling. My speciality is that my eyes are special! Hahahaha! I can finally speak!"
"Uhm... Okay well good for you? How is Sit doing?" Black looked a little surprised at the now babbling changeling in front of him. What was the most distracting thing was that his eyes changed colours. they were now mixed green like Sits eyes and the normal blue of changeling eyes. The thousands of eyes apparently randomly changed colour But what also bothered Black was that Facet obviously didn't care about Sit being in there. He remembered how horrible he felt but then he looked down on the ground. Facet was standing in a small puddle of the black liquid Sit turned into. Black was no genius but he figured that Sit left out some parts of the body to not make Facet burst.
"I don't know. I don't feel him that much anymore. I think he is making me able to see less. I really have to thank him... You think he is alright?" Facet seemed slowly concerned because he wasn't able to tell what happened inside his body anymore. His body seemed to work well but what was about Sit? Then he heard a voice in his mind.
"Remarkable! This is how you see?! That is... Amazing! I mean I see EVERYTHING! The dirt. The fissures in the walls. The small lines on the plates of Black. really everything... So this are facet eyes.. Well but I just wanted to check. I will leave now. So don't worry. and open your mouth please."
Facet did as Sit told him. A couple of seconds later Sit started to drip out of his mouth and nose. After some time he stood back up infront of his two 'comrades'. Facet was looking sad around now being slow in mind again but something was different
"What have you done to me?" He spoke slowly but didn't make any break. He looked around checking if everything was back to normal and indeed he saw nearly four thousand pictures the same time.
"I left some of my brain in there attached to yours. I will not be able to see that well for the next few hours so I’m counting on you two... So well lets wait and see if someone is still brave enough to challenge us. Facet you hold open your eyes and check if someone tries to sneak up from somewhere. Black. I count on your strengh okay?" Sit sat on the stone again while he talked and looked at his 'comrades' well he turned his head towards them but his eyes didn't move at all.
"I will keep my eyes open. All of them"
"You know you can count on me Sit. I won't let you and thousand eye hear down."
Doth were looking determined at their new leader. Sit was smiling and so the first day in the pit ended for him.
