Red Abyss Insatiable - 1. Blood Pact - Part One
Original Transcripts for your read-along or read-alone pleasure:
The
years had become more illuminated ever since Aden Walker ventured into Oshvail’s
realm. His younger diligence returned
from near extinction, and his physical performance had become relentless. The defining variable in his new conception
was purpose; he had been given a solid goal, something within his reach that
could be accomplished with enough determination. It felt good, to be needed by someone, even
if that someone was beyond human. The
responsibility was a privilege and a blessing, and so Aden provided himself useful.
Ninety eight... Ninety nine... One
hundred.
“That
is enough,” said Oshvail. “Your
improvement has surpassed my expectations.”
Aden
got to his feet. During most of Aden’s life, he had been
considered skinny, and somewhat meatless. But not anymore. Now, he was an athletic champion of great
ability, sinews of lean muscle visibly taut under thick flesh. His curly hair had become a mess, grown along
with his resolve to become more valuable than ever before. His mind had been rigorously exercised,
bombarded with critical arithmetic, expected to learn the Grendian speech--both
proper tongue and common slang--all whilst undergoing physical pressures
administered by Oshvail. Various weapons
and tools were now familiar to him. He
had been sculpted and weathered, experienced under strict guidance. Aden Walker owed his new state of being to
his other-worldly mentor, who was known to Aden as Oshvail the Oshvail of the Oshvails,
in name, race, and affiliation.
Aden’s discovery
of Oshvail--or as Aden
perceived it, Oshvail’s discovery of Aden Walker--could not have occurred if
not for a string of events. According to
Oshvail, there was an entire history of courtesies, cruelties, and mishaps that
led to their eventual connection.
