Deadline: Week 3, story 1

1 sentence summary: The story of a boy who is a vessel to a deity and is seeking to uncover the secret as to why is this happening which will shake the foundations of humanity and the beliefs held by the masses.

The air was cold and damp as he stepped out into the night. The cold breeze felt like a sharp knife pressed against his face.

"Thank god they invented hoods and long sleeve shirts" the boy thought to himself as he unrolled his sleeves and threw his hood over his head.

Walking along the streets at this time of the night was not as safe as it used to be. The pristine world that you and I know of now had changed little in his time, but under the surface great changes were taking place. Tonight, the boy would face this threat.

The silence of the night was pierced by the scream of sheer terror coming from a back alley. This would prove futile, as apart from the occasional cat, the streets were bare, as if mankind had vanished. Taking a corner, the sight which greeted him was far from ordinary to people like you and me.

Two hoodlums were hunched over a young lady but when they turned around, the face was nothing like a human. The face was warped and twisted in such a horrid way that the facial features were no longer able to be made out individually. The jaw, extended to slightly comical proportions was lined with rows of teeth meaning business. The arms were lumps of flesh with bone protruding to form crude fingers.

This, in all its glory, was a Chymera Multitude, a literal walking nightmare.

"I would advise you to stop whatever it was you where thinking of doing and disappear forever, if that is not to difficult a request for the two of you"

"And just who do you think you are punk and how exactly do u intend to stop us" came a mocking reply from the larger of the two behemoths.

"I go by many names, but the one which most address me by is Axotik, vessel to the great Hanzaki Okami-sama, and I am. your. worst. nightmare."

As if on cue, the shadows around the boy begun to take shape, forming above him into the shape of a huge lizard-esque creature. It materialized and stood between the gap which formed above the alley, staring down at them, with six luminescent orange eyes, eight legs, and a tail with a Venus fly-trap like extension at its end, was the deity Hanzaki Okami sama, and he was not the least bit happy.

Another set of screams pierced the calm of the night, followed by a roar which terrified all within the range of the alley. But the screams came from the pair of assaulters and the last thing they saw was forty sets of revolving teeth closing in upon them and then darkness.

"Miss, the streets are very dangerous, take this with you and try not to stay out too late" handing the lady an amulet, watching her pace into the night in a hurry, axotik jumped onto the back of his guardian.

"The nights still young, its hunting time."
