Should Have Let Me Die

Kalita was waiting for us as I walked over with Cable. Her eyes went huge when she noticed him, and she stood up open-mouthed. I smiled warmly and walked around behind her and kissed her cheek, making Cable's eyes go big like Kalita's were just now.

"So, it seems another person was hiding under Sir Tim. Kalita, meet Cable, the same Sir Tim, but he will be a bit different now, hehe!"

"Whaddya mean? Oh fuck, bro, why am I spittin' like this?" Cable was confused, but it was just his old life coming back to him.

Cable lived in this world so long that he has forgotten where he came from and who he once was. I guess this was how he talked before dying; the change must have altered his speech patterns and shit to make it easier for him to fit in.

'Wait, does that mean he has a god with him like Addel?'

'No, the original hero's came in alone but were given advantageous positions to be able to grow. This way, they could help against the Creator.' -Gripton.

'So then why was I just tossed in without any choices.'

'This marker was the safest place to revive you. I worried that you would just become like the rest of the humans here. You have not had a real taste of what they are like and how they act. Nothing they do is wrong in their eyes.' -Gripton.

'So you're telling me that in this whole world there is no were that people fight against this?'

'There are people like Addel sent here and other small groups, but they are weak alone and don't have the charisma you have. I hope we can find them all in the future and bring them under our wings, but you are this worlds hope, not them.' -Gripton.

'What going to happen to me when I activate this magic, Gripton? You told me that I would have to choose each time, but I have a feeling that wasn't the truth, was it?'

'Yes, your right. I did lie to you about it; another one of my worries put to rest when you fought Marlogra without fear just for your friends. A full-grown dragon, and you didn't blink, truly impressive. No human could stand so tall and proud in the face of such an overwhelming foe.' -Gripton.

'I knew it! Damnit, so you mean if I don't control the change, I could end up a dragon or worse? You a real shit head with all this cloak and dagger shit, are we done yet? Do I get the God's of Transmigrerica Seal to fucking know what I need to know?'

'Think of it from my side, right? You just went over how you have changed since you came, right? This power I gave you is more powerful than anything this world has ever contended with. Each time you absorb these powers will grow and change you, but you will have to fight it or become a monster—the monster evolves with increasing your physique and resistances. The humanoid increase will cause you to gain new magic and increase your magical capacity.' -Gripton.

'So, basically, my followers will turn me into a god one day.'

'Exactly, see why I might be hesitant to tell you everything.' -Gripton.

'You can stop me using pain.'

'No, not anymore, watch.' -Gripton.

*Burning Muscle Pain*

The pain tore at my muscles, but I could bear it. I noticed Kalita and Cable standing off to the side talking about something I couldn't hear. The pain stopped, and my body was able to relax again.

'I see what you mean.'

'And after this change, You will be stronger than eighty percent of the population of the world. Hyde, there will be a point where you will not be able to walk directly on the ground because your force will be too great; only those that follow you will be able to come near you.' -Gripton.

That was a bit much, but I started to really understand what Gripton was trying to tell me. I could destroy this world if I weren't careful. I would have to take many precautions in the future or destroy everything I was trying to save.

I turned back to the Kalita and Cable; they were both waiting for me. Kalita must have told him about Gripton because he seemed a lot more respectful when he looked at me. I smiled at Kalita and nodded to Cable, time to get this show on the road!

"Alright, Kalita, I had meant this to b something for us to share, but I think it is good to have your friend with us. For you, Cable, I want you to watch and see what you have to look forward to. One thing though, last time it was pretty painful for me and violent, so stand back and cover your eyes."

They both did so without any questions, but Cable was looking at me strangely. I just smiled at him and took a couple of my own steps back, putting about twenty feet between us, which felt like a safe range. I started to take off my clothes but stopped when Cable yelled at me.

"Hey! Motha Fucker! What chew doin'? Put ya damn pants back on!"

I just continued to strip as Kalita calm Cable back down. Once I was down to my black brief's Kara had made me, I took those off too. Cable was livid now but yelling at me with his back turned, so it looked like he was fighting with someone that wasn't there. Another great Kodak moment missed!

Kalita gave me a flirtatious look as she scanned my toned body and the tattoos on my arms and neck. Her gaze fell down my chest, and I cleared my throat as she downed down to my belt line. Wow, one of those moments you know you would always remember, along with the rest of my fondest memories of once in a blue moon things.

"Hey! Eyes up here, woman!"
