Legacy of Lundaya: Memory of an Empire
Chapter Three: Darkness
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe Goblin was speechless staring into the darkness, as pair soft Dark red eyes stared back at him. The Light of the moon shined on his bare chest stained crimson with blood so was his chin, mouth, and razor sharp teeth. A tattoo of a red pantograph covered his left shoulder and a strange symbol on the right side of his chest where his cutie mark should be. "I like that amulet..." He said with a smile as he looked at the silver skull amulet. The Goblin didn't want to make eye contact so he focused on the symbol which Sigil noticed. "It's an Omega if you're wondering." "A what?" "An Omega, it's the- bah never mind, won't matter in a few seconds anyway." Sigil extended his arm out in front of him, his horn glowed a deep black and a symbol with the same glow inside of a small circle made of smaller symbols appeared in the palm of his hand. Then as quickly as it appeared 8 black tentacles shot out from the symbol wrapping themselves around the horrified Goblin. The slimy, cold, boneless limbs tightened around the creature and brought him face the grimacing face with Sigil. "Hehe come on keep struggling, they love it!" Sigil said with an insane laugh. But his amusement gave way to the mission at hand. "Now" Sigil said clearing his throat. "I'm going to ask some questions and if you answer right you live, understood?" The Goblin stared blankly at Sigil who flexed his pointer finger making the tentacles electrocute the creature "AH!" "Now let’s try that again, do you UNDER BUCKING STAND THE WORDS I'M SAYING!?" The Goblin nodded fiercely. "Good...good. Now, where am I?" "The Griffin territory of Solstice!" He answered quickly. "What happened here?" Sigil asked in a calming tone as the tentacles loosened a bit. "I-I don't know I swear it was empty when we got here!" After a moment of thought Sigil began to smile "Where's the loot?" The creature's eye widened and pupils shrunk. "The the, the what?" "Come on, you guys were looting and the armory is empty, I can put 2 and 2 together." The goblin opened its mouth to speak but no words keep out. "Look, tell me and I give you my word that I won't kill you." A wave of happiness washed over the goblin chief. "Outside, in front of the fort keep." "Thanks." Sigil said as the Tentacles began to tighten "Uh pony, they're uh getting a bit tight." The goblin said nervously, "eeeyup." Sigil replied plainly as they started to get tighter "what are you doing?!" The Goblin said as he started to panic "YOU SAID I WOULD LIVE!" "Yea well I lied so..." Sigil said with a shrug as the black limbs got tighter and tighter. "PLEASE! I DON'T WANNA DIE!" "Course you don't, no one does." The sounds of wet snaps, pops, and a blood curtailing screams erupted from the Goblin as his arms and legs were crushed. "PLEEEEASE I HAVE A FAMILY!" "Really? That's plea you go with? I mean honestly how many times has that been used?" Sigil watched sickly amused as the tentacles got tighter began to crush the goblin's rips, hips, and skull. "Don't you think that's a bit much Sigy." Sigil heard from beside him. "Well he did threaten to eat me. And don't call me that, it sounds weird when you say it." The last thing the goblin saw before passing out was Sigil, talking to no one. "Yes but grinding him to mulch? Isn't that a bit overkill?"
"No, making him watch his men die a slow painful death and then doing this would be overkill." Blood and brain matter oozed from the Chief's head as it was crushed; it reminded Sigil of someone crushing a banana. Sigil lifted the mangled body over his head and let the blood pour into his mouth and swallowed. "Vampires, is there any blood you won't drink?" "Yes, Fouls. My one rule, I do not kill fouls and I murder anyone who does." He said letting the blood flow into his mane and coat. He began to look more healthy now darker grey and his mane dry silver. The Tentacles loosened, dropping the pile of flesh and crush bone behind Sigil and reseeded back into the symbol on the palm of Sigil's hand. "Satisfied?" The voice asked. Sigil took a deep breath and nodded "Yes, yes I am." Sigil picked up the sliver skull necklace from the lump of flesh and put it around his neck. "Now.....now....where do I go?" Sigil asked the voice in his head. "......Oh so now you shut up..."
