Wholly Undead 116 The Blood Tide Approaches

This was a large galleon s.h.i.+p, and was followed by four other s.h.i.+ps, as heavenly weighed by gifts to the new G.o.d, as the treaded through the lava. It seemed that each s.h.i.+p was covered in a cooling magic that r.e.t.a.r.ded the heat of the Brimstone Ocean causing a pleasant air on the s.h.i.+ps.

It could be clearly seen that a b.l.o.o.d.y red wind pushed all five s.h.i.+ps, as the sailed with reckless abandon.

A few seconds later, and the door was quickly open, as a thin pale face showed itself from the cabin on the s.h.i.+p. A tall sickly thin figure stepped out. Her hair was long, and black with a deep dark blood red hue s.h.i.+ne in the light of the Glowstones aboard. Her face, though thin, was perfect. If a bit fuller, and not so thin, this woman could cause the fall of worlds, not just nations. Her skin was deathly pale, but not bone white, with her eyes clear and inky black. Her lips were full, but when she spoke two fangs would be exposed. She wore a dark red Victorian dress, with a full black corset pulled tight, that served to push her ample bosom to the top. It was amazing with just a thin figure, how this woman could maintain such an abundance on top, with wide hips. She walked to the front of the s.h.i.+p, as her ankle buckled black heeled shoes clacked on the s.h.i.+p's alchemical wooden boards.

The Captain handed the princess a large Telescope. She extended the scope and looked long into the distance.

"MMmmmmmmm..." A seductive purr left her lips as she looked at the tiny Skeletal figure in the distance. She watched with her dark eyes as the figure moved around above the distance, as if moving pieces on a chess board.

All the sailors and servants swallowed hard when they heard this moan. Their princess never made sounds like this, in their presence. Some of the Vampires with lesser wills turned their backs away to hide their shame.

She continued to watch and see the anger of the golden skeleton as it slapped a chunk of the land away. Only for minutes later for the debris to flew pa.s.s her s.h.i.+ps.

Her pretty pink tongue licked her lips, and a pink hue surfaced on her neck, as it inched along to her face.

"How many years have I yearned... I thought Daddy hated me, but he sent me to my future G.o.d. It seems he is an Undead G.o.d... Well, I don't mind bonding souls, instead of flesh... I hope the light of his soul burns so good... Ah!"

She seen the figure shrink and disappear from the horizon. This princess remained in her thoughts thinking over how a soul union with a G.o.d of light would make her blood seem on fire. Oh, the thoughts! Her own blood sung to her. She felt a clear feeling of dew and decided she should return to her cabin least she lose face in front of her subjects.

She walked to the cabin of her door, as she stopped before entering the cabin, she handed the telescope back to the Captain and spoke, "Captain, I'm sure you have already adjusted course. So, how long will it be before we reach this barbarian land?"

The Captain looked into the distance, and guessed in his head using the stalagmite charts, he finally spoke, "With the flow of lava facing Us, the Blood winds to Our backs, and the distance to cover... I'd say about another two months. The flow of lava is really slowing our speed. If it wasn't for the blood winds you would have to triple this time."

"Mmmmm, but I want a faster trip... I don't wish to have to wait another second longer. Sacrifice all but a tenth of the blood slaves to the Amulet of Alucard. Increase the blood winds."

"But Princess, it will take time to set up the ritual, and We will be slowed down to collect them from the fourth s.h.i.+p." The captain advised.

Princess Eris knitted her brows, and gave an annoyed look to the Captain, "Then I will come and sacrifice a portion of my blood as well. That should be more than enough for this to make up the time and then some."

"NOO! Nooooo! Please... Please, princess. You don't have much to sacrifice. If you do, at least let us prepare you a feast with the blood slaves to give." The Captain implored.

"No... I don't want their filthy blood. My new G.o.d will feed me, so this isn't much of a sacrifice. How much will this shorten the time?" She asked.

The Captain did more math in his mind, "Ah... Depending on how much we strengthen the Blood winds... A month, maybe less."

"Then do what I asked, or you will be a new blood slave. I've seen how your first mate eyes you... This is a warning to you, and a gift. Do not disturb me for... A few hours. I have something I need to take care of... Personally. Work around that schedule."

The princess finished and walked into her cabin and shut the door behind her. The Captain stood there in a daze, but soon an evil glint formed in his eyes, as he turned his head to see the back of his first mate, as he muttered, "Thank you, Princess." in a soft voice.

Inside her cabin, Princess Eris comforted herself, as she thought of the delicious pain and pleasure that would be soon her dishes to feed on... "Oh, my G.o.d of light... Possess me... MMMMmmmmm."

*******

Jack slunk back into the Skull of the Sun G.o.d, as the plane of Light compressed his soul. It was only known then that Jack realized that his soul was actually that large, and it was due to the nature of the plane of Light that made it shrink to such a small size. It was no wonder why the plane of Light would pop his soul in the cunning tides, as the pressure here was like the bottom of the ocean.

[d.a.m.n! What was I thinking when I first decided to get here? Next time, I'm going to heed the d.a.m.n warning.] Jack face palmed, as he sat down cross legged. He now had to use all his attention to regain control, and not let the voices continue to sc.r.a.pe away his sanity. He wanted to leave here, as soon as possible. He had much to do in the outside world. Things went to pot, and he wanted to make sure Julia was okay... Check on Emily... And set up two new projects. The new city of Bellum, and his project for Super Soldiers. Hearing that Stonedge had Super Soldiers gave him a scare. He had seen certain movies with them in his last light and didn't see how a standard army could fight something called that, let along super undead warriors... Jack shuddered, and it was unknown if it was due to the voices, or to a feeling of someone thinking about him.

After what felt like ages, Jack's flaming eyes bust back into flames in the plane of light. He felt the changes in his souls, his true soul, and what he called his G.o.d-soul that wrapped his true soul. He finally pushed back down the voices.

Jack stood up within the light, as he walked over to the soul tether that led down to his body. This was the first time he got a good look at it. At first, he was worried that his body wouldn't be able to hold a giant, like himself. He even feared that he might be trapped to stay long periods of time in the Light, but now after looking at the soul tether...

[Why does this soul tether look like a steel cable? If memory serve, the Soul tether is attached to the body, and is produced by the body... Just what kind of body do I have???] Jack mused to himself.

Jack pondered this as he watched the soul tether dance in the light from the small blackhole below him, like a fis.h.i.+ng line in the Light.

Jack finally shrugged, and decided to ask his laptop, Tux. He missed his laptop, even if he wasn't with it very long, after all his last life was dedicated to computers.

Jack reached out, and grabbed the soul tether, and used it to reach his body. Jack's soul latched onto the soul tether and transferred to his body like light through a fiber optic cable.

This process took longer than Jack expected, but soon, with a disoriented feeling his vision returned to that of his real body, as the flames in his eye sockets burst into light, and a halo formed over his shoulders behind his head radiating light. Jack sat up in his chair and processed the room around him. It was still messy, and awful looking.

Jack stood up slightly uneasily, and he stepped down from his Golden Throne, he reached out with his hand, as the Femur Ferula snapped to his hand. He used it to steady himself, as he stood.

"Oh, man... I feel like I've been on the biggest roller coaster that has even been made. I have no idea how I feel like I am going to throw up, and I don't even have a stomach!" Jack hung his head.

He hobbled over to a chair at the table, as he decided to sit down for a moment, and see about his laptop. He clicked a key, and he watched the screen flicker, as Tux the penguin flashed onto the screen in the foreground of his desktop. Tux yawned loudly.

"You were asleep?"

"Yes. Tux entered into sleep mode, when Creator decided to foolishly dive into the light despite numerous warnings." Another loud yawn was issued.

[I really want to strangle this thing...] Jack glared at the penguin, but this look was lost on it, [Forget it.]

"Tux. I have a new project. Open a new project named... Project Deus Vult Drive." Again, Jack felt himself clever for his naming sense.

"I want to design a power source from Glowstone. This power source will be able to provide magic power for locomotion or emit Light at high intensities."

Tux fell silent for a few seconds before responding, "Reporting to Creator, not enough knowledge retained for this task. Please supply more tomes for processing."

"f.u.c.k..." Jack didn't expect this.

[Doesn't Saigunrai have a large Library run by the Chaoshood Clan... If I'm not mistaken... I'll just go over there soon.]

"Put that project on hold, Tux. Open a new project named, Project Bellum. Design a City to accommodate one hundred thousand undead, and the ability to manufacture weapons, armors, and ma.s.sive constructs."

"Reporting to Creator for clarifications, any specification on land size?"

"I want it to be able to fit easily between Saigunrai and Nogore. In addition, I want to be able to import and export easily, with large dedicated roads for just import and export, with smaller secondary roads for civil travel."

"Understood. Calculating time needed for project... Calculation complete. This task will take an estimated seventy-seven hours."

[Hmmm roughly three days. That works for me... I need to get back out there.]

Jack closed the laptop and stood up from the chair. He held the laptop like a book in his left hand and used his Femur Ferula to walk steadily out of his Library.
