The fuck! Killing the Atharim? But there was little time to worry about the women he'd brought. Truly he should have suspected Durante wouldn't be bringing just himself to fight the creatures he had described.
The one that slipped through into their light was grotesque. Skin falling from it's bones with putrid black goo oozing from everything. The smell was worse now that they were close -- what he thought was refuse was not. The creatures lined the walls with their excretions. Jer shuddered at the thought of what these things did. Zef and Grym were dragged away and the rest turned to face the on coming horde.
Jer drew his gun. But it clattered to the ground. "No weapons. You fight with the power or you die. it's that simple." Jer reached down and picked up the gun with a stern look from the boy god. He stowed it away with the safety on. Jer took note of the other weapons around. Nothing was armed and dangerous. Swords and sticks and fucking fireballs. This was not a fight Jer thought he could win.
The horde slithered in the darkness behind the lone creature. The others stayed at the edge of the light but it was hard to tell where the light started or the darkness ended and the horde began. It was like a dam holding back the water. "What the fuck are those?"
Durante stood off to his left and Jer swore he saw lights emanating from hm but he blinked and it was just him standing there. He spoke softly and with a cold distance. "The power is just out of sight. It will fight you but you must grab it and bend it to your will. Do anything else and it will devour you faster than the horde."
Jer had no idea what to do, or what the boy was talking about. He backed up away from the rest of them. He didn't want to be in the way when the dam released.
