distraction through supply run

"why, why is everything about survival?!"(Ally)

I wish I had an answer, it's just been the one driving force behind my actions, or at least I thought, I was well above survival back when I had stats at five hundred, back when they were at thirty thousand, hell I was above survival when they hit a hundred, why do I say that survival is my driving force when I haven't felt the need to survive in a very long time?

"I...don't know.....I dont actually have an answer for that, I thought it was my one driving force, but now....I realize it hasn't been a concern of mine at all, I.....don't know."(syn)

Allys face became a mix of emotions, many of which felt accurate, confusion, concnern, disbelief, anger, frustration.

they were all valid.

"I guess you really do have some issues, huh?"(Ally)

I nodded.

"you married me, I'm your problem now."(syn) I joked, using a weird voice.

she gave a pity laugh and agreed.

"you are my problem, but I'm also yours, we'll work this out, together, you're not leaving me that easily."(Ally)

"wouldn't dream of it."(syn) I said as I stared into her eyes.

"please not again!"(Julie) shouted from the couch.

"alright then, let's talk about what happened earlier."(Ally) said, beating me to it.

"yes, let's discuss punishment, your actions almost got your mother hurt, it also injured someone else, badly."(syn)

Julie gave me a look, a look of hypocrisy.

"you've killed people! creatures! other gods! from what my friends tell me, entire species!"(Julie)

I was stunned.

"wait. you have friends?!"(syn+Ally) in unison.

the conversation topic of punishment was immediately dropped, there was something more important happening.

I held Ally in my arms while we cried tears of joy.

"FINALLY! OUR DAUGHTER ISNT A LONER OR A LOSER!"(Syn) I cried.

"DAD!"(Julie) shouted in response.

this was amusing as hell, I never once thought my daughter would have any friends.

"seriously! back on topic! is it true?!"(Julie)

everything calmed down, I stood a bit straighter.

"is what true?"(syn)

Julie groaned and rolled her eyes, I know repeating yourself sucks, get used to it, it's gonna happen alot.

"did you really kill two entire species?"(Julie)

asked, genuine curiosity bubbled in tje air around her, Ally was shaking her head no, but she already knows so there's no use in lying.

"they were very very bad species, very bad, one esmalved other races through mind control and propaganda while the other, the first, kidnapped and raped any woman that passed by, so yes, I wiped both of them out."(syn)

Ally was speechless, Julie too, none of them were expecting that.

"let's change the topic."(Ally)

a collective murmur of agreement came from all of us.

"were out of supplies and that girl Jane is gone."(Ally)

looks like we'll have to make the dreaded supply run after all.

I groaned as I gestured for both of them to get ready, minutes later they both came back to the living room dressed and carrying large bags on their backs.

without wasting anymore time we hit the road, or morenaccurately the skies, I picked them both up and opened my wings, taking to the clouds with minimal flaps, my large feathers did well to hold me steady among the breeze as I glided often, it didn't take long before the town was in view, all three of us groaned at this.

thebsecond we landed the looks of judgement and hatred had begun, mothers pulled kids away and soldiers gripped tighter to their weapons, for am added "fuck you" to the town I made my ears elf ears, it was the least I could do, pissing them off, they've earned it.

not only did it bring a large grin to my face It brought scowls to the villagers faces, which only made my grin larger, increasing the scowls, at some point my grin would be the smile of an insane person, so I stopped there, keeping my grin large, but not insane.

God I love pissing off these racist assholes.

that was when I got an elbow to the ribs from Julie, her annoyed face present, she pushed a bag of coins into my hands and pointed to a store, handing over her bag.

"don't make it too heavy, I have to carry it."(Julie)

I just stood still, giving her a look of 'really?'

"go do what your mom told you to, don't pawn off your tasks to me, god knows what she has in store for me."(syn) I said as I pointed to the store she was pointing at, pushing the bag back to her.

with a 'hmph!' she stomped off, the empty bag flinging wildly in her hand.

I watched her vanish into the store before I turned back to Ally, groaning as she began to drag me towards a shop filled with candles, maybe I should've done what Julie was trying to get me to do.

nah.

it was agony, but we eventually left the store, my nose would need hundreds of years to recover, but we made it out alive.

thankfully Julie was ready to go, Ally wasn't, but that didn't matter, at least someone was ready to go.

our next stop was only a few hundred feet away too, it wouldn't take long, it shouldn't take long.

the second we were halfway there I knew some bullshit was about to happen, some teenager began approaching us from behind with a knife, I could hear the metal rib against the cloth of his cloak, which wasn't helping him.

I could also sense six more at various sides, they were gonna box us in, encircle us, they had basic strategy but they misses one very important thing, you shouldn't fuck with someone way, way, stronger than you.

so I allowed them to trap us, of course I told Ally and Julie this, couldn't have them freaking out, so they just stayed behind me while the leader of the group approached us.

"I don't know what it is that makes you elves keep coming here but we don't want you!"(teenage boy)

I laughed, I couldn't help it, he sounded so fucking lame!

it took me a second to calm down but once I did I stated talking to the "leader".

"you're just a child, and banning a race from a town is illegal under your own laws, take your worthless threats and fuck off already, if you haven't noticed I'm not an elf, I'm a god, I'm trying to piss you off because you're all assholes."(syn) the second I said that my body began to change, my wings flapped open and the shadows surrounded me, my true form emerged, alot smaller than last time, I still stood at six foot five, same as my human form, but I was kinda disappointed I got smaller.

[smaller size equals better agility, you're welcome]

never mind this is perfect.

[that's what I thought]

I ignored the system and focused back to the teenagers, opening my wings wide as they cast large swirling shadows, my jaw opened and released a low growl that sent shivers down each of their spines, each step I took cracked and craterd parts of the road, my eyes took a deep red glow as each boy fell, wet pants amongst all of them.

fucking cowards, they try to threaten me then panic like children when I stand up for myself and my family!

I'd had enough of this, of them.

"if you think that I will ever just sit back and allow an attack on my family you all are dumber than you look, leave now or I'll tear you limb from fucking limb."(syn) I threatened, my deep, monotone voice booming with aggression.

each whimpered and cried, fleeing the area faster than they arrived, my human form once again re-emergening seconds later as I stepped from a small swirling tornado of darkness, an added flare for drama points.

Ally seemed to think it was cool, Julie just rolled her eyes.

"I'm impressed, you didn't kill anyone."(Julie) said sarcastically, her voice monotone.

I ignored her.

I then led us into the store, where we efficiently gathered needed supplies, paid for them, and left, and what do we see? nothing but an angry mob, ya know the usual.

this is gonna be a pain, isn't it?

"there's the beast!"(teenage boy) shouted, pointing at me, a cloak covering the front of his pants.

I had to admit the fact that he was so scared he pissed himself is hilarious, I might not be able to talk to anyone here with a straight face.

but I'll try.

"so if I'm strong enough you think me inhuman then what are you, so weak that any show of strength makes you piss your pants? what are you, a fucking worm?"(syn) I said, not hiding my disdain at all.

the boys mother didn't like my statement, she didn't like it at all.

"he's not weak! he's the strongest in the town!"(boys mother)

I could not stop myself from cackling like an idiot, if he was the strongest here, what the hell were we afraid of all those years we've had to make this supply run?

by the time I'd calmed myself down enough to speak coherently the mother had already thrown a rock at me, which I caught, effortlessly, the second it was securely in my grasp I barely tightened my hold and the rock crumbled into pebbles, the small debris clacking against the road.

"officially your kid isn't the strongest here anymore, it's me, God of calamity Syn, strength and power above two million."(syn)

the instant I said that I released my aura, at not even close to half power, the townspeople practically flew with how far they scrambled back away from me, it was so therapeutic, they'd been the ones to make us terrified back when I was cursed, now I made them terrified.

whoever said revenge isn't worth it is dead ass wrong, this shit feels amazing.

that was when julie leaned in close, of course she made me lower, I was taller than her by alot, anyway she got close to my ear and whispered.

"attention whore."(Julie)
