Chapter 11

On a Cliffside up north about 50 miles from town, where the moon cast its beautiful soft glow upon the landscape. a large puddle of thick black liquid began to emerge from the ground and bubbled and frothed. There was a sudden shiver in the air as the a small shockwave seemed to eminate from the puddle and the landscape changed as dead emerged slowly from the bubbling puddle.

A bright red boiling lake frothy and bubbled violently below the scorched cliffside as dead looked over the burning landscape. Fires were scattered randomly throughout the landscape, along with dark scattered ruins and debri that still seemed to be smoking slightly. Some areas we covered in thick black ash in which strange thin bonelike creatures walked across the ash and seemed to be consuming the ash as it fell.

Dead slowly rose from the bubbling puddle of black liquid, he stepped out as the remains of Bonzo and his gang emerged as well. He smiled as he breathed the hot slightly toxic air and exhaled.

"back in this shit hell hole" he said to himself in a soft voice, with a slight annoyed tone.

he looks ahead across the bubbling lake below and about 5 miles from where he was standing was what looked like a scorched stone castle made of 6 massive black towers in the shape of giant bones. small sliloutes of small winged creatures flinging around a few of the towers.

Dead snaps his fingers and the remains behind him turn to ash and float towards the towers. He then looks around searching for something.

He continues to look around, searching for someone. He sighs as he closes his eyes and focuses for a few moments and there is a sudden small spark above his head. There is a loud roar in the distance as he opens his eyes again as he sees a creature flying through the air.

As it came closer its image became clearer. Large boney black and white wings. The creature seemed to be a type of dragon with black scales and its spine exposed slightly. Its head seeming to be slightly exposed bone. A figure could be seen on its back, as the dragon drew closer then one riding it came into view.

It was a young woman seeming to be in her mid 30's her hair was a light chestnut brown. Her eyes we a dark brown color, her skin was light peach. She was wearing a bone white dress that had a bold black single line stich pattern going from the left shoulder of the dress diagonally, to the bottom right of the dress. She had a long white pin in her hair, and she simple black shoes with one strap each.

The dragon flew above Dead and landed a few feet behind him and the woman hopped from its back and gently onto the ground.

"Yue, what were you doing that required me to call out to you when you know i had arrived." Dead said to her as she straitend up in front of the dragon.

"It's the lake bellow the cliff Dead, I was able to get all the other tasks done for our master." Yue began explaining, just as Dead put up his hand to stop her.

"And because of how the lake's properties you need my durability to get what our master needs right?" He finished her sentance.

She and the dragon both nod as he sighs, he then turns around and walks to the edge of the cliff and looks out upon the bubbling red lake. He removes his clothing and his sword sticking it into the ground and hanging his clothes on it. He then prepares himself to jump, Yue glances to the dragon and it gives a slight nod understanding what to do as it stretches its wings and prepares itself.

Dead then pushes off hard causing the ground underneath himself to crack s little bit from the force as he launches high into the air above the lake. A moment after a thunderus roar followed by a powerful gust of wind as the dragon flew into the air as well above the lake. Dead looked above himself as he came above the center of the lake and the dragon was right above him. He smiled as the dragon did a midair front flip as Dead turned himself upside down as the dragons tail came down and connected with his feet as he pushed off the dragon threw him down straight into the lake below. Dead appeared as a blur as he splashed down hard into the lake the waters surface exploded on contact and settled withing a few minutes as the building red droplets burn the land and the creatures as it falls from the sky.

Yue smiled as the surface of the lake called down.

"The water of that lake is both acidic and intensly hot. Aside from that bastard that took masters right eye, Dead is the only other being able to survive going into that lake." Yue thought to herself while she gritted her teeth. Thinking about the one who brought harm to her master made her blood boil.

Meanwhile down in the lake, Dead swam through the boiling acidic water tiny parts of his skin seeming to burn off. The boilding acid was barely able to harm his body. He continue to swim into the depths his eyes adjusted to the dark as he continued into its depths something seemed to glow dully in the darkness. He smiles as he prepares to take it.
