Shairon: The Voiceless Ones

Unending BE - episode 591624

It was about noon the next day before anything worth writing down happened. The party had just turned a particularly wooded corner and ran smack-dab into a rockslide, blocking the path. Now normaly they could go around, but this was right in front of a bridge that lead over a sheer cliff hundreds of meters high. On the other side of the cliff, acording to Roijita, was the town they seeked, so they couldn't really go another way either.

"Damnit. Mr. Wanderer, can't you do something?" asked Shairon.

"Naw, this ain't a real emergency. And besides, yee've got all them fancy powers and whatnot, right?"

Cursing herself, Shairon raised a hand to the rocks and spoke "Arkin Sreth!"

The boulders did not move aside as she had specificaly commanded them to. Instead, the did the opposite, and merely rested there.

Roijita had been thinking this whole time, and suddenly realised something. "This was no accident."

"Huh?" Shairon asked, while the cowboy just smiled and nodded knowingly.

"We are on top of a cliff. So how did rocks fall down to block our paths?"

We put them there!

Both Shairon and the cowboy looked up on top of the rockslide to where the voices came from. Roijita stared at them puzzledly, then followed their gaze. Three cloaked figures stood on the pile of rocks. What was weird about them was that although their cloaks were pitch black, Shairon could see right through to the white inside. How? Not a single one of them had a face. They had eyes and a nose where they should be, but no mouth, nor head.

Your people cursed us Voiceless Ones thousands of years ago, and now we shall capture each and every one of you to put it right!

Shairon realised why Roijita couldn't understand them; they had no voice. Instead, they seemed to comunicate through body language alone. How they learned to project body language to someone who wasn't looking, Shairon could only assume came with thousands of years of practice, but it meant that her power as a Demoneyos was solely based on language.

"And what makes you think I'm going to come along quietly?"

Our recent discovery which coats this landslide. It's immune to your powers, and seeps them rather quickly. You should be fainting any time now.

  1. Boy did they call that one. Shairon colapses, and the Voiceless Ones kidnap her.
  2. *Shairon doesn't give up that easily. She takes to the skies and prepares to fight whith everything she's got.
  3. Not only does Shairon colapse, but the cowboy does too! Is this liquid of the Voiceless Ones effective against guardians, or is he lying about his past?
  4. In desperation, Roijita, having caught enough of the conversation to know the Voiceless Ones were evil, called out "Rego!" The three Voiceless Ones collapse dead on the rock pile. Roijita has the power of the Demoneyos, and she's immune to the energy sapping mixture?
  5. Just plain old Something Else
