Surviving: The End (character-centric; modern zombie survival)

Also, do tell me how it will go down, because it's hard for me to write anything without knowing what's going to happen. Like when will it happen and where...

Suicide, Tragic or Selfish?

*Sigh* I have suicidal thoughts everyday for the past decade or so. I guess that makes me a bad, selfish person.

Oh cool. Nightfall it is :)

So after your next post, the 5th Naval Legion will make landfall.

EDIT: Also, a bunch of questions to help speed things up, you know, in case you miss these details out:
- Was the galley looted?
- Who looted the galley?
- What happened to the Daemonrexa bodies?
- What happened to the Human pirate bodies?
- How will the local Naqah react when the Daemonrexa make landfall?
- Will there be any official government response in the area should the Daemonrexa make/attempt to make landfall?

Southern Coast of Naqah

The Nephilim Captain continued entertaining his Naqah hosts even after he had been struck by an awful wave of grief and sadness, trying to look into his counterpart's words and gestures for meaning. For a moment he was puzzled, but then it slowly became clear that his counterpart may not be the smartest soldier in the region. The Nephilim found this strangely invigorating somehow. Shifting himself, trying to sit upright, he could not be helped but to be angered by this.

"What does it look like!?" The Nephilim bellowed, waving a hand over the harpoon stuck in his shoulders and the numerous cuts and stabs that had gotten past his armour when it eventually broke from the strikes of a hundred human weapons. The rage had given the Nephilim enough strength to attempt standing up. Grabbing hold of the railing of the ship, it tried to boost itself up, nearly succeeding in getting on his hooves when the railing, having been damaged before, broke in two, sending splinters everywhere, and the Nephilim was sent tumbling back down on its huge buttocks. "Damn the Rex-Na!!!" He screamed in pain as the tip of the harpoon that was sticking out from the back of his shoulder was caught on the railing briefly before he recoiled away.

The Succubus being carried off the galley was out of it, but had regained a little consciousness. Unable to see or hear properly, or even move much, all that registers was that she was floating, and in the warm embrace of someone. She wrapped her arms around that person's neck, putting her head on his shoulder. It felt cooling - many mainlanders were cool to the touch, though for some reason the friendlier mainlanders would regularly comment that the Daemonrexa were perpetually in a fever, or jokingly, 'in heat', which wasn't exactly far from the truth, as the freedom of Daemonrexa society ensured that sexual promiscuity was normal with abstinence considered odd, though the Daemonrexa possessed little desire to discriminate.

As the Imp was being left off, it looked up at his escort and gave a wide smile. As an imp's mouth was huge, the effect would be hard to notice.

I second SovereignGrave.

By the way, Hazmat, you wanna skip a few days after my post to when the Daemonrexa Naval Legion makes landfall on Naqah?

Meh, it's fine. I have plenty of patience. They don't have to get there instantly if it's gonna be half-baked and rushed :D. Besides, I gotta attend to some... unfinished business :).

Surviving: The End (character-centric; modern zombie survival)

I'll be posting soon too. Just an update on Valentina.

A New Age - Ancient Era NRP

Southern Coast of Naqah

The fact that the strange new small-lings tried to talk to him was not lost upon the Nephilim. Looking around at his own ship, now no longer resembling what it once was, he realised that no amount of struggle would never bring his crew back, nor restore his ship to its former glory. What appears to be the leader of these small foreigners, from what he could gather from his gestures - his words meant nothing to him - was that he wanted his weapon down. The Nephilim could not tell what their intentions were after he did. Seeing himself as a failure to his crew, however, he was beginning to care less.

Shifting his massive man-sized ballista from target to target, his arms spasming increasingly as time passed, he eventually threw it aside, and pulling the man-sized bolt out and tossing it aside nonchalantly, the Nephilim said in Daemonrexa, "Do what you want with me. I care no more," his words rough and loud. After that, he spat a huge glob of saliva and blood onto the corpse of a human pirate he had slaughtered in battle. At the very least, the Nephilim could take comfort in the number of humans he killed - he counted 33 of them. He chuckled at the thought as he awaited his fate.

The moment the guard's wet cloth touched her wound, the Succubus Follower howled in pain as she latched onto the guard, her grip weak. She did not let go when the ordeal was over. "Please. Don't leave me." She said in the Naqah's language, remembering the words she used in one of her poems. When the bottle of water was given to her, she tried to bring it to her lips, but found it to be too heavy, especially when the pain that was spreading throughout her entire body had worsened. Bit by bit, her vision began to blur. She dropped the bottle and fell unconscious.

Deducing that the Naqah was friendly, the imp puts aside his short spear obediently and took the woman guard's hand, his own shaking from shock, and tried to stand up on his hooves, nearly falling from his knees buckling, but succeeding in the end. A mean stab wound on his thigh impeded his efforts to walk properly, but slowly, step by step, he came over to the woman.

South-East of Naqah, in Deep Waters

"There! I see it!" An imp pointed at a bit of flotsam on the water, off a side of the command ship. As the massive galley got closer to the flotsam, the crowd of soldiers that were gathering saw what was written on the largest piece of wood: "Kha-Selem". The name of the lost ship. "We're getting close, I know it! The evidences are there!"

Then a human was found amongst the floating debris. When he was pulled up, he was questioned, and freedom was promised to the pirate if he cooperated. Literally smelling an escape from his predicament, the human readily betrayed his captain's plans: That the feigned attack on the 5th Naval Legion was a ruse to draw a ship or two away, and with even more hiding in the fog, they would take it captive and demand ransom for it, only, they had no plans to release the captured ship but to enslave and possibly sell its occupants. The captain had planned to keep a few Daemonrexa women captives for his own use. The pirate captain had also promised use of his Daemonrexa 'wenches' to his crew should they do well in battle.

Upon hearing this, the Warmaster, a formidable Nephilim that was a head taller than even the other Nephilims on board, also captain of the command ship, drew his knife, which was about the length of a human's long sword but wider, and stabbed him in the chest, the sheer force of the strike breaking the body of the human. "Throw that *filth* overboard. By Saten's name, I doubt even the fishes would feed off his carcass! I want five soldiers to clean up his disgusting blood here!"

"We will continue sailing in this direction!" The captain of the ship, a Nephilim, ordered, and everyone scampered back to their posts. Should the oarsmen and wind hold true, the captain made an educated guess that they could reach their missing ship within a few day's time.

Heh... Never use movies, games or any other media for reference, unless they are known to be extremely realistic in their portrayal, and even then...

Anyway, I'll be working on a post soon.

Boy does it suck to be a slave in this world... Not that it is any better to be one in real life.

And I just realised that the Imperium has been approved. I might come up with something for Sauron a few posts later... Later because the Daemonrexa hadn't been that far west before.
