chapter 6 Greed perspective

White hair guy sent Zeph flying off the cliff. What are these guys? The red and brown ones are weak. But why the big guy here?

White hair stares at forest, look like he see food.

"I have sent the invader to fall to his death. May Rafona bless his imperfect soul."

Red one look happy

"Tama, that trespasser should honor you for sending him to a better place"

Brown one silent, looks like he would be tasty.

"What do we do with this" he point at me

White hair stares at me, looks as if he sniff fart

"His soul is also imperfect, but it must be from his master being so disgusting. Bag him up, his presence is starting to disgust me"

Next thing happen, bag over my head. It dark. Like me, ah home

After time, bag come off, i see we are in a fancy room, and it's sunny and gramps there

"Ah you have found Greed, where is his master?"

White one looks upset that grams asked that question

"That imperfect being was sent off rock Fall, he was holding a water sprite for hostage, I needed to save her."

"He was a good kid, peace could have been acquired, he is only a child"

Gramp look sad, like food fall on floor.

" he was my friend. He was a good kid, he didn't deserve this."

I confused, is gramp good or bad?

Gramp looks at me, he walks.

" hey, Greed, your gonna be with me for some time"

No

I bite his hand, he screams I try to run, but white one lifts me up in air, it windy

" let me finish it, send him back to his master"

" Hey Greed, it's me Bob. You know I don't want to hurt you"

No

I look at the white one and I want to bite it but I'm stuck in the air. Windy around me and white one looks mad, I must get out.

White one lets me go, I dash like fast to behind a large object. And it's silent, exempt from gramps yelling at everyone to stop. And then buzz. Buzzzzzzzz. Biz, biz, bizzzzzzzuzzzzz. Something was above me, it looked like a snack. I jump up to eat, and when I bite, I see that white hair one has hands together, and a smirk on pale face. He pull hands and boom, my mouth explodes. My mouth stretched and broke, my bottom jaw fall off. . It feels like I swallowed air, and it boomed. I need to stop white hair. I get on the ground and still hide, i think what those water things did and I try to do what they did, but all I could do was make black smoke that fill room. I run behind him, yet he tries to grab but I jump up and grow my arms, tiny ones like the goblin i ate some time ago and grab his head, and I scream. Loud one. I thought the ground shake but I might be wrong. White one looks in pain now, and he shoots me out of window, it break and I fall far. I land on ground and in no pain. Other than me missing my jaw, I don't feel bad at all, I feel like I learned something. I want to eat one of the white ones, they are strong…. And it would be nice to do that to him, see how he feels.

It must be noon, i am crawling around trying to find the loser Zeph and i cant find his scent. Where is he. The streets are full of people with weird ears. So this must be the kingdom that gramps and loser where talking about. , it looks very different from the old place Zeph lived in. Here people noticed me, i didn't like it, with all these smells i am lost. As I walk, I smell something i know… its blood, but its a new kind. I follow the scent i find 3 pointy ears, one big, one long, and one short, hitting tiny pointy ear. The 3 are not like white hair, they are weaker, but the tiny one is much weaker. Like loser Zeph, now that my jaw grew back i go and bite the long one on his foot. He was tasty

"Ew what is that?" He kicked me and I hit a wall. Now that I know what they taste like i want more. Moreeeeee. The taste is sweet, like honey. They aren't noticing me, I go and to the tiny one, i stretch my arm and touch him on the shoulder. He turn around and I smile. Then… I wrapped my tongue around his feat and slowly pulled him into my mouth. He fought and yelled and scream, his friends tried to help to but i pulled, and pulled. And before I knew it I had already eaten short and long. Only one left is a big one.

"What is this monster, hey flock come out. Let's defeat this thing

Coming from big ones pouch on his side, one of the red snacks comes out.

"Flock use fire dance" and the red one put her hands together and stood in a weird way, he started to turn and look like he was dancing but badly. But the more he did it, the more hot it got, i see flame pop up around me, he is trying to burn me. I let the fire around me. Red snack look happy, like he won. He didn't. When hd turned around to see if his master was happy, i jump and eat him. The master looked like he lost something, so I then eat the big one. He was gross compared to the other pointy ears but i still ate him. I hear crying behind me and see the tiny one scred, and bloody.

"Thank you, thank you thank you thank you. How may I ever repay you, you saved my life, i am ever in your debt. What are you?" How can he repay me? I've eaten a white snack, a blue snack, and I just now ate a red snack. I am missing a brown snack.

"Bring out your familiar"

The tiny one looked confused

"What's a familiar?'

"That big elf summoned a red familiar, with the ability to create and manipulate fire, i want you to bring out yours."

Is he stoopid?

"That wasn't familiar, we don't use familiars, we use sprites. They are elves who have fallen in combat and have gotten rofona's blessing and bestowed elemental powers."

I don't care

"Bring out your sprite then."

The tiny one lookes confused, he must be stupid

"What for?

"You were so weak against 3 of your own kind, I must know what your sprite is for you to be utterly useless when confronted."

He look confused

"Okay, i will" he looks at his pouch. " come out Cone"

As i was hoping

" From what I can tell, Cone was a general in the last war, he was famous for using his earth sprite for creating traps that enemies would fall to their death in. idk how he died"

This snack gives off a different vibe, he is strong.

"If your sprite is so strong, why are you so weak?"

"I don't want to hurt people"

"But people do not care, nothing matters cause we will all eventually hurt someone, whether it be emotionally, physically, or not even being there. You hurt your family when they see you beaten and hurt."

Dang, i smart.

"I know, I know that I hurt the people who love me, but I would rather be beaten, than make other people worry about their kids, about their lives, I would rather die than harm others."

With his brown snack sitting on his head, he looks like he is trying to help the tiny one feel better.

" Hey Cone, please come to my side and may I have a word with you."

Brown snack flies off his head and comes to me. And before he talks, I eat him. He crunchy

Tiny one looks in shock, like he want to fart but poops instead

"What….. Why….." he scream and cry like normal

"Why would you do that? I thought you wanted to save me. I thought you wanted to help me, why, why, why would you kill Cone."

"You hurt him"

Tiny one still cry, and shake.

"it's because of you refusing to not use him, his potential was wasted, you hurt him. And all you do is think, you never act, imagine dying. Working your whole life for the better of your country. And dying, too early in life, no kids, no wife, alone in a world where anything is possible. And when you are granted another wind of life, and given elemental powers, you are given to a kid, with no desire to use you, given to a creature with no passion unlike you. If my master was like you, I would have killed him a long time ago. But he is different, he doesn't want to hurt others too, but he will change, i will make him change too

" I…. I'm gonna….." And tiny starts to cry

I don't feel bad for him. I go and eat him too. I walk away and I see nothing is left. Oh ya, I gotta find loser. For some reason I can't hear his thoughts.

It's been a few weeks now, everyday i travel the whole kingdom searching for Zeph, it's been 3 weeks since i've seen him. After eating an elf kingdom advisor my intelligence has increased quite sufficiently. Since I've started searching, I've come up with a few possible reasons why I can't find Zeph.

1, he is in an underground dungeon, and his or my thoughts cant pass through such a large amount of material.

2. Maybe he is in a certain space where a familiar blocks telepathic communications

3. He's not in the country

4. He's not below ground or far away. But he's above.

I cannot fathom the amount of strength the person or creature must use to keep him above the elf kingdom for such an amount of time. Unless it's a combination of sprites' ability to hide it. I won't know unless I see it. Yet some questions still remain. Why were gramps with that white haired elf? Who or what is rofona? And I still know little about my strength or weakness.

My name is Greed, My master is Zeph Zeph. My abilities from what I have gathered is telepathic communications, increased stamina, strength, speed, intelligence. My most dangerous and powerful ability, I will call absorption, allows me to consume and use abilities from creatures I have eaten. Still a lot is unknown. From what I can also tell my body has no permanent form. When I think I have the ability to manifest arms and legs from creatures I have eaten. I may possibly manifest others characteristics but I will explore that more when I have reconnected with Zeph. But I don't know how many abilities I can manifest and use. When I was attacked by that white haired one, I thought and created a small amount of black fog as a smoke screen. I also don't know how much of a creature must I eat in order to use its abilities. Eating each elemental sprite, i have gained the ability to use each element but i can't do anything without Zeph

Speaking of Zeph he is different too. His speed is on par with me, he was able to talk to me with his mind, i have stalked other creatures and tried using it on them but they freaked out and no one responded, so it means he and i have a special connection. Also being around him, I can tell that he has something inside of him that is dangerous, i can not begin to think but when around, i feel something inside him, something calling me, it scares me. Once I reconnect with him, I will place him through secret trials to find out what he can do.

My weakness is my hunger, i can not last more than 5 hours without eating, if i don't eat, i begin to shrink in size and lose my strength, and if i don't eat, i could easily die.
