The pit of doom
#12
Dom glanced at Julian and then, after a moment, at Leweski walking away along with everyone else to change or freshen up or whatever for their show and tell with Ascendancy. In a low voice that only Julian could hear at the moment, he said "I don't know about you but I am sick of being trapped down here while golden boys like Carpenter keep getting sent top side."


Julian laughed with a weary sneer. "Yeah really. So tired of your fucking ugly face every day. Least Ascendancy could do is send down some companionship or something. Or at the least give us online access."


Dom laughed. "Yeah pretty sure your only girlfriend ever has been your laptop."
There was no harm meant tho.

Stir crazy was the term. And Carpenter was the final straw. He was done. Still, it would have to wait till after.

Changed and lined up, the super duper mighty high Ascendancy man showed himself along with some asshole who stood there with a shit eating grin. For some reason, though, when his glance caught Dom's he found himself looking away. Can't give myself away, he told himself. That was the only reason. Ascendancy had no need to know what was really going on.

And then he started talking and all thought of Carpenter flew away. Outside. They were going outside. Out-fucking-side!!! Ball or whatever, he found he didn't care. Well he did, but less than he expected.

And then he forced himself to listen and started to care. And when he felt the man- god, just a man, and yet the power he wielded was like a hand grasping his spine, making his knees turn to jelly. Paralyzed him. Such power....he felt it call to him. If he could hold that....fuck. He couldn't even begin to imagine what he would do. He would be a god. A living god. Able to bless those who pleased him and worshipped him and pleased him. And what an angry veangeful god he would be against those who spurned him. A fire that would burn alive those that decided to treat him as nothing.

It was the sweetest image he could imagine, so much so that he barely paid attention to what Ascendancy said. Dominion. This heavy pendant. A ball. (He was sure Ascendancy didn't notice anyything odd on his face when he have him his.)

Africa. None of it mattered. Well no. It did. He was being released with honors. With power. One of the original nine. Him. He would find his opportunity. Africa was a shithole. They would worship when a real god like him showed. Showed them real power.

He didn't even care when Ascendancy took buttboy off for a private conversation. Freedom. Power. They called to him.

He squeezed the pendant and felt the prick of the needles, kept squeezing until he was sure he pierced the skin. But he didn't flinch. Gods dont flinch.

Ascendants were more than human. He was a god. And now he was being unleashed.

God- him- help anyone who stood in his way.
