"I'm sorry Trezlan." We were knee deep in monster guts having made our way deeper and deeper into the darkened temple. The monsters were not very coordinated or even organized. I assumed when we killed the leader the rest of them kind of just fell into a stasis of sorts, basically they were mindless animals, attacking each other as much as they tried to attack us. Terrifyingly ugly horrific mindless animals, but mindless animals all the same.
"For what? I'm the idiot that brought us here, and got us stuck down here, if anyone should be apologizing its me." I try and be self aware among the remains of my failure. Try is the optimum word here other times well you've read other times often enough.
"For making fun of your pistol earlier, I've never seen something burn something from the inside out with a single bullet before. Whatever that thing is I don't want to even touch it."
"Oh yeah, you're smart touching this can do to you what it does to others, believe me."
"So you are a demon." I frowned at her.
"Just because I can touch the hand of a god does not make me a supernatural being, it just makes me awesome, stick around with me Alisa and you too can be as awesome." She would have laughed but a tentacled creature attempt to lash on to her face and so she was a bit busy. That was how it went, eventually we broke out of the temple through a cavern system underneath it (why didn't the creatures just leave out of that way you ask? I have no idea, probably because they were kept in check by the temple spirit and its sacrifices, I don't know how evil temple economics work). We were covered in guts and stunk like the beasts we had just taken care of.
"What's next Baldy?"
"Well first we get a shower, then we steal a car, and finally then we kill the absolute crap out of Randal." The shower was an absolute necessity, stealing a car less so, but killing the crap out of Randal was all I ever wanted to do. Sadly that was the hardest task of the the three. And which seemed at the time what would have been the easiest part!
