Attic Angel

Thariel was a mess. Torn, bruised skin, curled into as small of a ball as possible. Sam knelt at her side, gathered her close and soothed a hand through her hair.

The angel whimpered at the contact. Sam frowned, the hollow in her chest pressing out against her ribs, and she knew it should hurt...but it didn't.

True to their word, the surrounding fallen parted for her, allowing her the freedom to carry Thariel's shaking, broken body out of there.

Her friend's release at the price of her soul. Anything to get them to stop torturing the poor girl, but oh, the cost of it was no small matter. Sam smiled when Thariel lifted her head to peer up at her, exhaustion and relief bleeding out in equal measures.

Gently, Sam nuzzled the side of her face and hushed her.

Soon the angel would find out what Sam had done, and she would be upset. She knew this. It was inevitable, even if Thariel didn’t feel the change, someone was going to come and collect her sooner or later. 

For right now, though, Sam pretended everything was fine.

So I played again today, and chose Enki this time. Not having Devour kinda sucked, but the runs/attempts I made on my laptop before it went kaput (update made it unable to start up properly) had me finding lots of food. So hunger wasn't too bug of an issue.

WHAT KEPT GETTING ME, HOWEVER, WERE THE WOODEN BOARDS WITH A NAIL IN THEM LAYING ON THE FLOOR. I eventually memorized where they were and managed to avoid them.

Made it down to the mines and befriended Moonless. Also met Pocketcat, but more importantly I GOT CHASED BY CROW MAULER!!! 🎉 Finally got to meet the bird boi! 🎉 But didn't try to fight him because I only had Moonless in my party. Pretty sure it's easier to beat him if I had more or a full party. (Wasn't finding ghouls to kill and revive until my run on my brother's computer. Fun story about the one I recruited there.)

Didn't make it far in the mines unfortunately. Accidentally aggro'd a Yellow Mage and forgot that you're supposed to run up to them when they start dancing. Died shortly after.

On the run on my brother's laptop, I found LESS food and let myself die to infection after stepping on another nailed board. But I found a ghoul later and added him to my party. I named him Bob. Because I'm great at names. Well, BOB'S A DUMBASS AND GOT ME KILLED BY A PRISONER GUARD BY SEVERING HIS OTHER ARM.

So yeah. Fun times. Lol Also I got my arm chopped off by a different guard because I missed when attacking his weapon arm. Because of course I would. Probably going to be a while before I play again unfortunately, but we'll see what happens this week.
