Gods of a Different Kind

Reaper

        "What the hell was that?" I said as noises came from down the hall. There was one particular door that received constant banging from some unknown force, it was also the only one boarded up. Whatever is in there was meant to stay, but from the force of the blows it was receiving it would break before the front door would.

        "Go on man, you take care of that while I will take care of the asshole out there."

        "AW COME ON"

        "Well would you rather face something you know you will lose against or something that you will probably lose against?"

        I gave one final gulp as I stepped toward the banging door, I readied myself for what ever was on the other side.

        The door fell over and what greeted me was horrifying.

        An undead Minotaur, flesh was falling off of it in varying places. It was missing a horn but that didn't make it any less lethal. Even with its rotting flesh it had the strength to bust down a barricaded door. This thing is far stronger then myself as a demigod.

        It charged at me with unrelenting force. Normally I would be quick enough to dodge such an attack. But I was struck dumb by what I was seeing. A Minotaur. One of my children. I would recognize that face anywhere, even if it was rotten.

        "Taurus..." was all I managed to get out before his horn sunk into my chest.

        My son stopped what he was doing, perhaps from the realization of who he was killing?

        Taurus let out a deafening roar, then without warning his horn slipped out of me. He slumped over dead. What greeted me was a cloaked figure with a deadly scythe that gleamed in the little light that came from the blockaded windows.

        "What is going on down there?" Licens voice came from down the hall, I looked towards him in hope that what he sees would explain it all.

        "Ahh killed a Minotaur ehh? Well then come help me with the asshole that is about to bust through. Oh yeah" He said as he covered my new wound with the all too familiar air. "It is not fatal, but that will stop the bleeding"

        I looked back at the cloaked being, but it wasn't there. I looked down a Taurus's body, I shed a single tear for my beloved son.

        Ut terra complecti anima..."        'May the earth embrace your soul...'

        ***

        "He is about to get through..."

        "Don't worry, I'll be fine"

        "It isn't you I'm concerned with, you have a damn spear. All I have is a fucking stick."

        "I told you a POINTY stick, big difference. If you want to get technical you have a spear as well... just a shorter one" He said with a snicker.

        "Oh thanks asshole"

        "You're welcome bro"

        We drew our attention back to the door, it was about to be blasted of its hinges. The strength of such a rotted door amazed me, it must be very strong wood. Just not strong enough to hold off a pissed demigod.

        The banging suddenly stopped, neither of us moved due to the probability of it being a simple ruse. After a few minutes we stepped towards the door together, spear and 'pointy' stick at the ready. We reached the door at the same time, with a nod Licens slowly opened the door.

        The door was instantly blasted open, knocking both of us on our feet. What greeted me was a knife in the leg, with unimaginable speed, another in the gut.

        Luckily Lichens was there to stop the fatal blow that was going for my head with a gust of wind, throwing it off balance just enough to sink itself into the wood.

        With a growl Dead Winds child leaped towards Licens. He was barely able to block such a relentless assault. I then proceeded to attempt to pull the blades our of myself. Unluckily for me, they were both serrated. So If I  pull them out they will cause a very large amount of damage to what is left of me.

        "What chu' got sucka? What chu got?" Wow, Licens can't stop talking can he, I am going to take a wild guess that it helps him concentrate.

        "I an going to gut you like a pig..."

        "Speaking of gutting... Guess what I did to your mom last night?" Don't do it Licens. Don't Fucking do it.

        "I sure did 'gut' her, so to speak." With lightning quickness Licens spear was destroyed, Licens surprise lasted only long enough for our enemy to take a stab for his head. Licens was barely able to dodge it, but his hat was not so lucky.

        "DAMN IT THAT WAS MY FAVORITE FEDORA." Licens took several back steps to avoid any more attacks, he drew back his right hand into a punch, he took a running stance. Then he disappeared.

        Damn... where the hell did he go?

        My question was quickly answered as Licens seemed to almost reappear into existence, he hit with such force that Dead Winds son was rocketed across the room and crashed through with enough force to break a gods back.

        It was difficult to see from my slumped position but he seemed to be... unharmed.

        "Let me show you how it is really done..."
