Then her eyes fell on Jake and she went back to her innocent, slightly dumb self. Jake and Rudolf decided not to ask questions yet, reinforcements were coming at any second. They kept on moving towards the base. Ori started panting as they ran, she did not have any skills which gave her more stamina. They slowed the speed down, Jake felt a shiver in his spine when noticed the bloody ball turning into a clean white again. It was a disturbing sight.
They eventually reached their base, Rudolf put the pig into the cave. He used the same skill that put fire into his sword in order to shove fire into the pig. After roasting it, he cut it up and served it to each member. Honestly, Jake was a bit relieved when he saw that side of her, she could be useful. Rudolf, again, was the first person to ask.
"What was that all about?"
"Right, I have split personality disorder, do you want to know about the two personalities?
"go for it" Jake jumped in before Rudolf could answer
"There's me, the one you are talking to right now. This is my normal self, then there's the one you saw, she usually comes when I feel that my life is threatened. I have some control over my body when she takes over, I'd never attack a but I cannot stop her from attacking the enemy." Jake got a headache from the mess Rudolf had created, he decided to go out and scout the island. After all, he did excel at being silent.
They sat there completely silent and let the moment fly by. 'Is she bat shit crazy or is she bat shit crazy, she seems like a liability to have on the team. Either way, abandoning her right now would be a way to reckless, we'll have to see after we get out.' Jake thought to himself.
Back at the spot where they had fought, the sub-leader stood there holding his spear, he had come after hearing the battle cry. There were three corpses, two of them seemed untouched, whilst the skull of the third one had been crushed. A sense of regret could be seen in his eyes as he looked at the corpses, he made a quick prayer for the dead and promised that he would catch the perpetrators. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a few tracks on the floor. After following them for a solid 20 minutes then they suddenly stopped, he looked around before turning back.
Jake saw a man just as he was exiting the cave, the man was tall and was painted red. He had a spear with a stone end strapped on his back. The second Jake noticed the man he crouched and was silent for a while after a minute of looking around the man simply walked away.
It was almost pitch black on the island due to the lack of lights. Jake thoughts this was the perfect opportunity for him to scout it out. Jake waited a few minutes more after the man had left, after all it's better to be safe than sorry. He made his way out of the cave.
The odd statement arrived in him, shadow or demon which one is best. Silence or speed, stealth or pace, the two demons newly arrived fought for their execution, with a judgement lingering close. He decided to pick his demon form because of how large the island seemed. If he could scout the island things would be a lot better for him.
HE took step after step to navigate the entire island, the ground was lush and the air felt fresh. His goal was to scout out a the island, he kept his fair distance away from the dirt roads because that way he could guarantee his safety more. The issue was that he would see a lot of insects on the grounds some even tried to bite him. There was a red centipede with a giant pointy mouth biting him, if not for the tough skin he had it would surely hurt. WHo know maybe he could get killed. When he saw it he quickly stomped it, it let out a quick shriek before it died.
Suddenly he saw eyes on top of a branch, they were clear yellow and simply stared back at him. The eyes felt disgusted and shocked, the creature leapt down onto the floor instantaneously, it walked around seemingly assessing the situation. Jake took out his bow, and was charging it slowly, he did not feel frightened by this creature but was not stupid enough to let down his guard. Suddenly his mouth turn dry, the creature had widened its mouth, showing its crystal clean teeth. It had the teeths of a jaguar with a select few being a whole lot longer than the other one, the creepy part where that they were illuminating a red light. The creature kept on walking around Jake, suddenly it started walking backwards until Jake could not see it. Jake pondered what would've happened if he had not spotted the Beast, he would probably have given the teeth a more gorey colour.
The death archer, Jake could display disgustingly strong tracking skills. Due to his night vision, and improved speed he was quite quick, he found multipe cannibals walking and did not have any issues tracking them. The thought of killing them naturally appeared in his mind but killing them would be risky and put the rest on high guard making his job a whole lot harder.
"oga boga" he heard, Jake revealed a smile as he realised what was happening. The cannibals running a small distance away from him were running somewhere and pumping themselves up, which could only mean one thing.
There was a new ship wreck.
He followed roughly 30 meters behind. Soon, he could see the beach and just as he assumed there was a shipwreck, it was a gigantic gallion, with a dragon crest on it. On the beach stood what seemed like the entire cannibal population. From the ship a plank was lowered as a way to walk down.
Down walked a quite peculiar person, he had white gloves and a cold stare. He walked slowly down the plank completely alone staring at all the cannibals as he walked down. The cannibals on the beach looked straight back at him, with Jake doing the same. 'Is he an idiot' Jake pondered. The man kept on walking down, slowly as ever, he did not drop his stare.
Then a large voice resounded in across the beach, "begone". Suddenly everything turned black, around Jakes body it felt like he was being affected by different gravities being pulled to different positions. Meanwhile he had multiple flashing lights in his eye which gave him a headache, his body started shaking vigorously, his body was trying to fight the outside force. He felt as if he was going to be ripped apart, as if his skin was going to be peeled. He heard a white noise screaming his ears.
He passed out and woke up in the middle of a dark room with multiple openings. He was still drowsy and confused and simply wondered what had happened. He stood up and started wandering around.
