[4-14] The Town

[Karl Jak]

The Amber-creature stood up from the half-eaten carcasses of the two secondaries and threw its head back in a guttural shriek. Its skin rippled as old wounds closed and battered bones were shattered and mended stronger than ever beneath the swirling flesh. Although it felt very little, the creature shuddered with agony amid the mutations that racked its form.

Its eyes fell to the ground near the corpses and saw that the familiar sight of Razoback. Had it subconsciously dragged the weapon along with it? A hand fell upon the handle of the weapon, and as fingers clenched around the handle, tendrils of flesh tore through Amber’s forearm and wrists. In moments, the blade was anchored to the former woman’s wrist as she rose to her feet.

The creature threw its head back with another vaguely Amber-sounding scream as its writhing flesh hardened into a shade of dull gray. Spikes of bone jutted out from its knuckles as new fangs forced out the once-faunus’ old set of teeth.

As it lurched forward, the ghoul realized it wasn’t alone. It looked around to see half a dozen or so shambling, demi-human beasts watching it. They were the same corrupted secondaries that roamed the town, but the bloodlust seemed to have drained from them as they recoiled from the ghoul’s red eyes. Standing up tall, the Amber Ghoul grinned as the other creatures followed her back into the town.
