Thread: Rise of the Demon Forge: A Hidden Danger? (Razgriz x Karameida)

Unknown The gargantuan man continued on his journey, never resting as his large feet left definite impressions in the sandy plains even through the most brutal sandstorms, he was unfazed. And the extreme temperatures during the days and nights out in the barren straights appeared not to affect him, either his skin, already somehow possessing a tanned coloration despite a long slumber in relative darkness, never once reddened from the unrelenting rays of the smiling, laughing Sun. One could only guess as to why this titan was marching so resolutely, but it was clear that he wouldn't stop for anything. Not even when the coyotes of the dry rockbeds noticed him approaching on the fifth day of travel, he came across a particularly large male specimen. Oh, the beast growled, warning this intruder that he was encroaching on taken territory. A dark aura soon roared up around the man, its presence enough to make the normally ferocious beast whimper and run off in fear. Without even a blink of consideration, the man resumed walking, the hot stone from the afternoon sun never once making him falter. On the eighth day of travel, he was just within visual distance of Death City itself it was here that he finally paused, his dull blue hues peering upon the town of the heroic slayers of Asura the Kishin. For a few moments he stood there, his massive form casting a long and wide shadow over a piece of the scorched rock that surrounded the city, as if looking it over and appraising it. The architecture made entry nearly impossible from the ground, unless one were to enter through the buildings that made up the city's base skulls the size of buildings made archways for paths, the buildings themselves aligned in a terrace fashion. A glance to the right revealed a single road that stretched from a skull-faced tunnel on the eastern end his eyes then scanned the rest of the city, widening as they flashed once. Numbers and measurements poured across his vision, his sight encompassing a large yellow sphere possessing three spikes pointed diagonally up and away from him. And with that, his eyes dulled once more, his body moving towards that single road entering the desert oasis, the garbled shadowy voice in his head giving him nearly non-intrepretable commands and directing him forward. However, merely moments after beginning his walk again, something went wrong he paused, his eyes wide as he felt something wash over him in waves. Suddenly, a loud screeching was heard in his head, his hands flying up to cover his ears to no avail in stopping the sound from occurring. His mouth flew open, but only extremely muted choking sounds could be heard as indescribable pain shocked his massive body, his voice quickly faltering to the onslaught of sensation. He fell to his knees, his eyes squinting shut as he bent over before opening again his irises twitched wildly, the pupils having narrowed to pin-head size as the pressure in his body felt like it was approaching its critical limit. But as suddenly as it began, it ceased the man now sat on his knees, his head craned back and eyes looking up to the sky, blank and growing dimmer, their once brilliant color dulled to near non-existence. His hands slowly fell to his sides, knuckles resting limply on the hardened desert stone. He remained like this for only a few seconds before his body shut down, causing him to fall over and lay still as the light faded completely from his eyes, lifeless as the rock which had once sheltered him from the harshness of these hot, scorching plains. To any that might come across him, he would appear to be dead however, this was merely a ruse. A backup designed by his creator to be implemented in case anything went wrong.
