Portal To My Doom

Standing in a crazy broken world filled with purple light and living shambling corpses, I started to wonder if Aelanes was insane. Like seriously why couldn't we have just collapsed the portal from the other side? Who cares if it gets opened again by someone else? That wouldn't be us and that's all that matters! I was also alarmed that I still didn't have a weapon to kill the corpses, so I was dependent on Aelanes to do all the work of killing the corpses. Which he was efficient at, but I hate leaving my fate in someone elses hands even though I tend to do it all the time. Look just because I do it all the time, doesn't mean I agree with the decisions!

"You could do more you know." Aelanes says this to me as he cut through another corpse.

"Like what? I don't have a sword or a pistol and you refuse to give me one."

"You could distract them you know with your deliciousness, I mean this was a trap for you." I glared at Aelanes, I mean he wasn't wrong, but I will be bait for no man! I was a bit concerned I hadn't seen that idiot Dumphree, I mean he opened this horrible world, where in the gods name did he slink off to?

"So what have you been up to all this time Aelanes?"

"I became a pacifist." I laughed but he seemed serious, it seemed a little less serious while he was gunning down a couple corpses that had snuck up on him, but you know people are weird like that.

"You're a necromancer pacifist?"

"I only kill what needs to die."

"I think that goes against pacifism." He shook his head.

"You want to put people in little boxes Trezlan, I am what I am, I do what I do." I would have argued more, but the ground we were on shifted. At first I thought it was an earthquake, but as it turned out the creature that lived in this realm was just using its power. The shaking threw me and Aelanes off the island. Aelanes fell somewhere I did not see, I landed close to the desiccated remains of Dumphree, which made me feel very sad. Not really, but you know even a dick like Dumphree didn't exactly deserve to have his essence sucked out like that.

"Trezlan Lorentino." The beast had a booming voice that shook the world when it talked.

"Maybe?" I say maybe because it probably wanted to eat me, but you know maybe it wanted to give me a nice going away gift.

"Morley promised me he'd let me go if you die here."

"Well how about I let you out of here if you don't kill me." The creature was massive, like I couldn't even see the bottom of it from where it towered over me. It didn't have an exact form other than a huge shadow of one. I couldn't exactly make out what it was even, just huge and scary.

"How would you do that?"

"How Morley going to let you out of here?"

"Good point." And so it came that I helped a creature from a horror dimension escape. Look he was going to kill me, it all worked out I promise...
