Onward: Purple

[voidtreckermods]

The second night of their trek is interrupted by the shaking of the ground. It only lasts a few moments and all the tunnels hold, but it is enough to be a frightening experience.

And it seems to have agitated the monsters. A wave of crabs attack not long after the shaking has stopped, emerging from the rocks around them.

They are close to one of the sandbanks and as they emerge, for a moment out of the caves they will find darkened skies and choppy seas. There is a feeling of a storm approaching. It is cooler then it has been.

But that is the least of their problems. As they cross the sandbank, wading in the water a giant squid attacks. Tentacles reaching out of the sea, to wrap around limbs and pull the voidtreckers and those they are escorting off the sandbank and into the ocean depths.

The tentacles at least seem to withdraw if damaged enough, hopefully they can be fought off before anyone drowns.

"Once upon a time, the original orcs were elves who were captured by the Dark Lord and tortured and twisted until they forgot who they were and became simple tools for his use. It is a mercy to kill them so their souls can find their way home again," Glorfindel said.

"Nice hit!" He did a quick step up the cave wall to come down behind one and flip it over onto its back.

"I see...Though I kind of wish that there had been another way to save them than just death." Says the guy who believes in saving through other means for those who are human or living while destroying Akuma whose souls were locked up.

If there was a way, Allen would have been the one to use a better method. With the crabs he is dealing with them, but trying his best to avoid actually killing them.

"thanks, but I think there are more further down, so I am going to go on ahead."

Thanks for the thread!

"I agree. We tried. Desperately. But in the end, it was clear that sending them to the Halls was the only way." Glorfindel was quite sad, as he did know one or two of the affected elves, and their families.

"All right. We'll be right behind you," he said.
