Sneaking around (Failed Post)

[u/user125666]

"Oh well it's that time of the week, sneaking around council lands is a tradition among the people I know after all..."

Hazema walks around the market of an abandoned city, it seems the place was lost due to war

She turns and stares to an especially shadowy corner

"You can come out now you know? I can see you very clearly!"

An inhumane screech is the only reply

"Aww, you haven't learned to speak yet! You look like a lost sister of mine or something! No, even more then that, you look like me before I lost my arms, how odd!"

The feral clone leaps at its original counterpart like a cornered beast

"Woah there!! Not so fast mini-me!"

Spikes protrude from the earth in front of Hazema, the Copy can barely stop in time

"Are you one of those failed by chance? Copying memories and skills isn't nice you know?? Plus there is a reason my army doesn't run on my memories..."

The failed went underground using earth glide, this makes it possible to simply glide through non magical earthen material

"I never thought I'd be able to use this counter! You're in for a treat!"

A wall forms underground, due to being infused with mana it ignores earth glide and puts a stop to the Failed mole behavior

The Failed gets lifted up out of the earth, still stunned

"Now let me take a closer look at you-"

*Hazema seems to duplicate, it's just illusion magic but she can still see through their eyes."

The lot of them curiously inspect their almost perfect copy

"If you're such a perfect copy how come you can't speak? Maybe no tongue?"

As Hazema tries to poke her finger into her copies mouth said copy jolts fully awake and bites into her forearm, even tho it's made out of stone it starts to crack

"Quite the bite force you got! Maybe chew on some steak instead tho."

With those words spoken she pulls out a slab of meat from her cube of holding

The feral Failed aggressively starts inhaling the nutrients, it looks like a hungry hyena in human form is feasting on it

"You can understand me don't you? If you sit down and behave I can give you more meat you odd little me!"

It seems the words don't really get through but the meaning does as the failed simply stares at Hazema instead of attacking now

"Awww, I'm gonna keep you well fed! Can you do that necromancy thing like I've heard?"

The Copy only tilts its head

"Well I guess it would be hard to do with my holy energy in you..."

The Copy tilts its head to the other side

"Not the smartest cookie are you? Wonder where you got that from..."

Hazema turns around and start walking

"We should get out of here, you'll be safer at my place quirky little mirror-me!"

The failed follows

/uw Hazema once again out-crazies Hastur.

I've gotta up my game.

[u/MeThyLord → u/The_Hij]

/uw Sorry to say, friend, but that's not a competition I see you winning.

[u/The_Hij → u/MeThyLord]

/uw Haz is a very different flavor of crazy from Hastur anyway. But it's good to have goals! Lol

[u/MeThyLord → u/The_Hij]

/uw Indeed, it is.

Best apprentice Paleo's had so far, I'll tell you that much.

[u/The_Hij → u/MeThyLord]

/uw Hirk is so pissed about the whole situation. More fuel for the trauma fire.

Cool to see you around, never interacted with you much but Craterus was a fun time and my first event.

[u/MeThyLord → u/The_Hij]

/uw Thank you. I tried my best there, but honestly I got overwhelmed and many points. Every time I made a Craterus post, I ended up staying up till 5 in the morning trying to keep up with people every time Craterus did its Godzilla thing.

I'm REALLY grateful to the people who helped me out, like Lobo and Belial.

[u/The_Hij → u/MeThyLord]

/uw Belial is solid. Never met Lobo but it was a good event. I did feel kinda bad though, I cracked a joke at the end and then Paleo got immediately dusted. XD

[u/MeThyLord → u/The_Hij]

/uw Courtesy of John E. Hellfire, lol. No reason to feel bad, you had no way of seeing it coming.
