Snippet #914

"Sign up?" I mumbled, still draped in the dark of covers. "Oh, the game..." I gazed back to the phone. "I fell asleep playing the thing mate. Rather addicting I'd say." I opened the phone, hoping for a break from work. I was in luck. A text read, quite clearly. Rather, yelled into the back of my skull. "You are fired." It had only been my hope that they'd choose to get rid of me. They had a binding contract to me, and would now have to pay me for doing nothing.

It stood from the liquid. The steam poured from every crevice of the blackened being. It took in the sight of it's surroundings, and the feeling of pain as it cooled. It seemed this was it's only feeling, other than the excitement of hope.

A sharp crack sounded from behind it. No, from it. It's rocky skin cracked as ice formed in ribbons along it. It yelled.

"Har'vos Nar'ak!" Another yell came from the beast as another sheet of ice cracked it's rocky shell. The ice flew from the surrounding forest.

The beast moved as best it could, trying to find the source of its pain. It saw a flash of blue from the shadows before it. It felt the pain in its chest. Now it learned anger, frustration. Why should it be attacked for doing nothing?

"Das'al De'vahn!" With that, the beast was frozen to the water below it. A black haired man slipped out of the forests edge, "Suffer demon, for you can no longer burn."

The figure did not know the language. Yet, it understood the meaning of suffer. It suffered. It was covered in an icy shell that held every segment of it together. The ice cracking the hot rock of its flesh. It could now only watch, as it had for so long before. It watched the black haired man smirk at it.

I smirked in my victory against the unknowing company. I had this planned all along. "How about dinner after work mate?" I looked up to my room mate. "My treat."
