Struggling to move, Iramo slowly lifts his hands, seeing his arms wrappings soaked from the inside out, spewing blood onto the scorching hot ground. Shocked to see it vanishing without a sound before his eyes, leaving a deep, red stain across the ground, in the shadow’s of his blood that told Iramo two things… He can’t stay here and if he didn’t make it out soon… his body would never be found. In such a harsh, unforgiving heat, he’d vanish without a trace. “That… really hurt.” If I didn’t have my guard up, I’d probably be dead. My arms are aching and trembling and I got this awful pain in my head. “Your heartless. I liked you better when you were playing dead. Guess it’s my fault though, I should of left you alone.” Laying back onto the hot rocks, Iramo looks around to see just how far he had gone in land and realizes just how far he had flew when he recognized the whistling of the winds up so high. “You didn’t have to hit me so hard, I damn sure wasn’t the one who put you down! But jokes on you! You just put me on step closer to getting out of this place.” Forcing himself up, Iramo grabs onto the jagged rocks pulling himself up with his hands. Ignoring the pain as he watches blood profusely sliding down his arms, slowly flowing onto his chest. Each drop of blood staining his vest and igniting his wrath. “Next time I see you I’m gonna send you right through a fucking mountain! Lets see how you like it, when I get you back! And trust me… after all this— I’m gonna make sure it’s the first thing I do! You’ll be paying me back in blood, until I’m even with you.” Using the little strength he’s recovered, Iramo stumbles forward, firmly plants his feet while he keeps himself up with his hands and gathers all his strength stand. Pushing through the pain as he moves his left foot forward then the right, wincing from the pain while applies pressure with his hands to steady his legs. “FUCK! That’ll have do at least for now. Come on body— don’t you go giving up on me now! Your all I got left! If I die, you die and there’s no fun in that. So lets keep going until we find our way to the light. Once we made it there, I’ll take over and let you rest. Until then, keep doing your best.” Powering forward through the blazing heat, Iramo makes his way up the mountain in search of the blue light The Voice spoke of, in hope of a quick way home. Seeing the trail of destruction the Blue Beast left behind tearing through the mountain side, leaving crater all around. It single handily was reshaping the land. Turning the Black Desert, into a No Man’s Land. A dead zone known as The Deion’s Den . A region filled with unspeakable terrors, thriving off the relics from the past and those foolish enough to touch the black sands. I can’t help but wonder, how will he do on his own? But when you're A Star Baby, you're never really all alone. “Well, well, well. You sure are far from home! Ouu and you don’t look like a local either! A very special case. Its been a while since anyone news been up here. Lets see how far you’ll go, before we meet face to face.” Slurping on a white substance, coming from it’s hand. This creature watches over Iramo from a far, looking down on him as he struggles through the mountain, rubbing on its scar. “I think I’ll keep you alive, It’d be so boring to die in this place. Maybe I should act as a mentor? Guide him along his path? And right when he trust me— BAM! I vanish. That would be a good laugh and the perfect way to have some fun. Or should I save him then put him back on the run? So many options so little time to decide. I better get ready, soon he’ll reach this side. Oh, I love it when two fates collide!” Waving it’s hands, then vanishing into thin air. The mountain began to shake and all around Iramo Devions appeared. Crawling out of the cracks, soaring through the air, no matter which way he turns a new beast appears. Circling him from the ground and the air. Great. Now I have to deal with this too. That’s totally fair. “I’m in
