The Myths

It's been a long time since I posted more on this story but I'm finally back and ready for some action

Twisted does not belong to me @itsladykit

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Over ‘ere.” Twist shouted from the other end of the underground. Outside the hole people and monsters were already shopping, and talking with each other. The roots hanging from the ceiling were shining with light almost mimicking the sunlight above it.

“Isn’t it dangerous to hunt out there?” Edge hesitated outside of the undergrounds’ entrance.

“Only ‘f we get caught.” Twist grinned shifting into his wolf form. The sound of bones snapping and shifting into place as they both changed into their animalistic forms.

“Alright, we should head through the woods and follow the creek to the riverbend. That’s where the good food is.” Twist informed leading out of a passageway. His drwal was gone in this form.

“How long will it take to get there?” Edge asked following Twist close behind.

“Only about twenty minuts thirty at most.” Twist replied trotting ahead.

“Alright so long as we get back before Rus knows we’re gone.” Edge sighed following Twist’s tail. 

They went through the forest floor with quick ease, catching some rabbits and field mice.

“Why do we even need to hunt?” Edge asked holding the bag of deceased rabbits.

“We use ‘em fer potions an stuff. Plus the kits are too young to hunt on their own. The rabbit's fer the sages and the mice’s fer the kits.” Twist smiled to himself looking through the forest.

“We should start heading back.” Edge suggested looking at the skyline.

“Yeah.” Twist agreed shifting back from his bipedal form. They made a break for the gap in the trees they came through. As the sun started rising above the horizon they made it back to base. Rus was waiting for them by a small tea shop just outside of the hole they slept in.

“You’re back.” Rus smiled as he got up from his seat to greet his lover at the entrance.

“We tried to be back earlier but we got caught up in the hunting.” Edge apologised bringing Rus in for a hug. Rus happily obliged and hugged back. As they pulled away they watched as Twist walked to a small hole and shift with the mice he’d caught.

“Did you see anyone?” Rus asked cautiously worry washing over his face.

“No but I did find these on our way back.” Edge smiled holding out flowers. 

“They’re so pretty.” Rus smiled accepting them. They were white with yellow centers. They looked fuzzy.

“Edelweiss.” A voice cooed from not too far away. Rus and Edge turned to see the woman coming from her hole.

“What’s that?” Rus asked cocking his head to the side.

“It’s that flower. I haven’t seen it in a long time. Men would get those flowers for their women to show their devotion and love.” She smiled looking at the flower. “I remember when my husband got those for me.”

“How did they show devotion?” Edge asked, “They’re just flowers.”

“Because they sometimes can grow on mountain cliffs. And for a man to go and climb a mountain for you, you must be special. Speaking of which, how did you get those flowers?” She asked looking away from the flowers to Edge. 

“They were just on the ground.” Edge explained, “Why?”

“Edelweiss don’t just fall on the ground.” She objected, “where did you find it?”

“It was on the ground by the river.” Edge confessed looking with worry. The old woman hummed.

“Twisted!” She beckoned. Twist came out of the hole and over to her.

“Yeah?” He replied shifting back to his normal form.

“Did you see where Edge got the edelweiss?” She asked looking to him.

“Yeah by the river, why?” Twist verified looking to the flowers.

“You find nothing wrong with that?” She asked cocking her eyebrow.

“Nah, not really. I’ve found sum things lyin’ around b’fore.” Twist replied scratching the back of his neck. 

“Alright.” She hummed scratching her chin. “Just be careful next time, you understand me.”

“Yes ma’am” Edge replied bowing his head. She nodded back.

“Marcus lets go, you may be able to stall all day but your training cannot.” The old woman smiled towards him as he walked out of his hole. As they walked away Twist left for his own hole.

“What now?” Rus asked looking up to Edge.

“I don’t know.” Edge confessed. “Maybe we should relax for a little while?”

“We just woke up not that long ago. There has to be something.” Rus sighed.

“This is life my love, it’s too dangerous to go out for long.” Edge comforted bringing Rus into a hug.

“I know, but still. I miss home.” Rus mumbled resting his head on Edge’s shoulder. 

“I do too.” Edge consoled hugging Rus tighter.

*Ahem* Twist coughed. Rus and Edged turned their heads to look at him.

“I wanted ya ta meet sugar.” Twist smiled expectantly. The person, skeleton rather waved at the two of them.

“Hi, I don’t know if you remember me or not but it’s nice to see you again.” Sugar smiled at the two of them. Sugar wore a sort of kimono like dress or robe with sashes around her waist.

“Yeah you were the fox that we met a while back.” Edge pointed out, smiling in greetings.

“You were?” Rus asked shocked. He remembered that day very clearly.

“Yes I was, believe you me I was probably more afraid than you were.” She chuckled a bit, “So you two are the prophets. How does it feel to have everyone counting on you?”

“It feels kinda stressful to be honest.” Rus confessed rubbing his arm in embarrassment.

“But it’s our duty, and we need to keep everyone safe.” Edge interjected smiling down at his “husband”.

“You’re right, we need to keep everyone safe, especially our daughter.” Rus smiled back, “Speaking of which I need to get her something to eat so I’ll be right back.”

“We should be headin’ out too Sugs. Got a lotta work ta do.” Twist smiled leading her away.

“We’ll see you around.” Sugar smiled back over her shoulder at Edge.

“See you around.” Edge smiled back.

“Alright little lady let’s get you fed.” Rus smiled down at their daughter. Sage cooed in appreciation.

The Myths

Order up. One big heapin' pile of self regret. With a side of twisted. Enjoy!

(Remember twist is not my character. If you want to see more about him go to @itsladykit for more twisted content)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Edge was the first to wake up when Twisted entered the cave.

“Sorry there, didn’ mean ta wake ya.” Twisted apologised sitting across from them.

“What time is it?” Edge asked looking at the mouth of the cave.

“Somewhere in the mornin’.”Twisted replied, “don’ gotta good concept of time down ‘er y'know?”

“Yeah.” Edge sighed stretching out a bit. He looked down to Rus and Sage.

"You three sleep ok?" Twisted asked glancing down to Sage.

"Yeah it was alright." Edge smiled, glancing around.

"So what were you two doin' in th' forest all on yer own?" Twisted asked.

"We were on the run." Edge answered. Twisted hummed in reply.

"Do you know a next of profit?" Edge wondered. Twisted locked eyes with Edge for a second and replied. "Yeah me." 

"What?" Edge gaped staring at Twist.

"Yeah th' next ta take over the oracle 'n stuff, right?" Twist asked smiling to himself.

"Yeah." Edge replied dumbfounded.

"I figured I would've seen you two earlier what with the huntin' incident an all." Twisted smiled wider.

"What hunting incident?" Edge asked snapping out of his stupor.

"When ya shot me." Twist chuckled recalling the memory. Edge's face flushed with embarrassment.

"That was you I shot?! But your not-" Edge broke off.

"Wolf-ified?" Twist asked finishing Edge's statement. " 'takes too much effort ta keep that form. Ya caught me 'n Sugs at a bad time."

"Sugs?" Edge questioned looking back to Twist. He nodded in response.

"That fox ya almos’ killed 's my girl. M'lady." Twist replied glancing at Rus briefly. "Good thing ya got me instead cuz 'parently we 'ad pups on 'e way an didn' even know." 

Edge glanced at Rus as well eyes briefly flashing over Sage.

“I-I. I’m so sorry.” Edge whispered gripping the sheets in thought. To shoot someone was unforgivable to himself already. But to almost shoot a pregnant monster Edge would never be able to handle the thought.

“Hey, ’s a’ight.” Twist consoled snapping Edge out of his stupor.

“But, I, I could of.” Edge stumbled over his words. He couldn’t bring himself to say it.

“But ya didn’. An tha’s what matters.” Twisted smiled, Edge sighed. He was too tense to aware, he just wanted to go back home and forget this week ever happened. But of course he couldn’t, his home was destroyed his loved ones in danger and they were in a dirt hole with a dog on legs. “Not all that great is it?”

“What?” Edge asked, once again snapping out of his stupor.

“Not great being depended on, is it?” Twist asked smiling sadly at him. Edge sighed and tried to let the rest of the tension melt away.

“No. No it’s not.” Edge mumbled looking back to his boyfriend and child.

“Look I know how yer feelin, but think of it dis way; all ya gotta do ‘s find the rest a yer possy and save the world. No big deal.” Twist smiled matter of factly.

“We almost died!” Edge raged, body going tense again and clenching his fists in the sheets.

“Easy there, easy darlin’. No need ta get hostil’ wit’ me.” Twist eased holding his hands up in surrender. Rus stirred in his sleep lightly, Edge glanced down at him worrying he had woken his lover. When he saw the other still asleep his tension eased. They sat in silence, neither wanting to say a word.

“This is all my fault.” Edge sighed closing his eyes.

“ ‘ey darlin’ no one’s blamin’ ya.” Twist consoled placing a hand on Edge’s shoulder.

“I should have left when I had the chance. If Rus would have just stayed away.” Edge muttered, staring in anger at the sheets below him. “We wouldn’t be in this problem.”

“Do ya think ‘ed be happy wit’ anyone else?” Twist asked trying to get Edge to look at him.

“He’d be safer.” Edge countered gripping the sheets tighter.

“But would ‘e be happy?” Twist held looking Edge in the eyes. Edge sighed.

“I suppose not.” Edge settled finally letting go of the poor wrinkled sheets. Edge wrinkled his nose ridge in distaste at the mess of sheets and the fold lines he left.

“C’mon, why don’ we go an’ catch some food. I’m sure you two are prolly starvin’.” Twist smiled standing from the bed and exiting the hole. Edge nodded to himself and followed making sure Rus was safe before he left.

The Myths

Here's the twisted boi

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Rus woke up he could feel the world around him move. He groaned and the movement stopped. He was still slipping in and out of consciousness but the world started to move again. When he finally came too he was still in the forest but everything was moving as he watched the forest ceiling, before he was dropped.

“Uuurrrngg.” Rus groaned.

“Oh hey you’re actually alive. Here’s your kid.” A deep sweet voice said before a heavy force was placed on Rus’s chest. When Rus’s eyes cleared up he saw that Sage was asleep on his chest. He sat up and brought Sage to rest at his heart. Rus sighed in relief. There was another heavy thump right next to him. Edge was just dropped next to him. When Rus looked behind him he was another skeleton half breed monster. I guess they weren’t as uncommon as Rus first thought. The other half of this skeleton seemed to be dog. With fluffy pointed ears and fluffed up tail.

“How are you feeling?” They asked looking all three of them over.

“I’m alright.” Rus replied bringing Sage closer.

“Alright good. Follow me.” They said before picking up Edge and carrying him down into a large hole in the ground. “They aren’t that far behind.”

Rus hesitantly followed close after them into the hole. As soon as Rus entered the hole it closed behind them not even leaving a trace it was ever opened. Rus looked in awe.

“C’mon. You two were hit pretty bad.” They laughed continuing to walk into the hole.

“I’m sorry, what's your name?” Rus asked looking at them.

“Don’t worry about that right now. We still need to crawl through here it’d probably be easier if you were in your dragon form.” They replied walking forward.

“How did you-” Rus asked walking after.

“Shhh.” They hushed pointing to the ground ceiling. Above them Rus heard voices and footsteps. “Stay quiet until we get there and take this.” Rus was handed a blanket.

“Whats this?” Rus asked looking at it.

“Put your baby in there they’ll be safe.” They smiled looking back.

Rus changed into his dragon form with Sage nestled in a blanket that the other person gave to him. They crawled through the tunnel for a long time stopping occasionally to stay quiet and hidden from the changelings. When they finally got to where the stranger was taking Rus, he was very surprised. 

It was an entire underground civilization with all kinds of people and monsters walking and talking with each other. Mothers and fathers with their children playing outside of the holes, families laughing without a care in the world. Shops and stores with people buying things with some kind of weird currency, houses and more holes. All this underground?

“C’mon.” The other called out to them by another hole, this one seemed to be an entrance to a home. Rus followed suit into the dugout, shapeshifting back into his half form. The other laid Edge on a bed that was nearby.

“Twisted my dear, there you are. Come here let me see who’ve you brought with you.” An old woman said walking to them.

“I think these are the ones you were talking about.” The other, Twisted, smiled looking over Edge.

“You think so?” She asked stumbling forward to them. “Let me see.” She came close to Rus and looked at him and Sage.

“Yes, quite beautiful. Strong. Independent. Brave. Yes, this is them.” The old woman smiled walking away. Rus flushed at her words. He had never been called those things before, especially beautiful. He was at a loss for words.

“I, what. What do you mean them?” Rus asked looking at the woman.

“The prophecy of course.” She smiled again as if Rus knew what she was talking about.

“What prophecy?” Rus trailed on as the old woman walked around the room

“The savior prophecy. You and others will save us all.” She proclaimed reaching up her hands like she was summoning a god.

“What?! No, no. No No No No No No No. I, we can’t. We have a child to raise. We can’t just risk our lives.” Rus protested holding sage close.

“I knew you would say that. You won’t be the only ones risking your life. There will be others-” The woman smiled looking Rus over.

“And you just expect us to go along with this. This isn’t some fairytale where everything will turn out okay. This isn’t just some story you can write. These are real people you are putting at risk.” Rus interjected looking at her. The woman stopped and turned to face Rus.

“How do you know for sure?” She smiled looking to them. Rus set Sage down by Edge.

“Because, I-” Before Rus could start there was a loud crash. The old woman walked out of the dugout. 

“Marcus you gigantic lizard you’re late.” She scorned walking out with a broom.

“I’m sorry. I got caught up.” Marcus sighed looking to the old woman. Marcus and Rus stared at each other.

“Oh, hey Rus.” Marcus smiled weakly laughing in embarrassment.

“Aaaah!” Rus yelled as he leapt forward punching Marcus in the head.

“Enough!” The old woman yelled and she separated the two with magic. “Young, yes. Beautiful, yes. Smart, you could work on it.”

“How did you do that!” Rus exclaimed looking at himself as he was set on the ground.

“You’ll learn in time, but of it we don’t have much. Come now, wake your husband.” She wobbled over to where Edge was resting on the bed.

“And how exactly do I do that?” Rus snarked looking to where Edge was laying.

“Give us a good roar.” the woman exclaimed looking to Rus.

“A, what?” Rus asked looking her over.

“A roar, as loud as you can. Don’t worry the changelings won’t find us here.” She smiled looking to the ceiling.

“Okay.” Rus went into his dragon form and roared.

Edge didn’t move.

“I think I heard my kitten calling me. You are a mother, this isn’t just for the two of you this is for your daughter.” Rus roared as loud as he could the entire cavern shaked. Edge shot up from the bed.

“There you go that’s much better.” She praised patting Rus. 

“What just happened?” Edge asked rubbing his head.

“Edge!” Rus yelled shifting back and hugging him.

“What happened?” Edge asked again pulling Rus and Sage close.

“They attacked us in the forest and knocked you out. Then twisted came and helped us then-”

“Woah woah woah, slow down. What?” Edge interjected hugging Rus tightly.

“We shall discuss this later, for now we must regain strength.” The old woman sighed looking through another hole.

“Who’s the old hag?” Edge asked whispering to Rus. the woman hit him over the head with her stick.

“OW! What the f-” Edge swore rubbing his head.

“Language. There are children present.” She scolded looking to Sage and Rus. She wandered off. Twisted sat on one of the close beds.

“Sorry. She can be like that.” Twist apologized holding out his hand for Edge to shake.

“It’s fine.” Edge accepted shaking his outstretched hand. The old lady came back in the wall hole with food for all of them.

“Eat up there’s plenty to go around.” She smiled setting the food down for them to take and eat. Edge took a piece of bread leaving the better food for Rus and Sage.

“You’ll need more than that dear, there’s plenty more where that came from.” She smiled looking at Edge.

“It’s alright I really don’t need it.” Edge assured looking at her.

“You wouldn’t want to put your wife in danger because you didn’t have any strength, now would you?” She asked looking back at him.

“I’m not a girl, and we’re not married.” Rus interjected taking a bite out of an apple.

“You two are not married?” She asked ignoring Rus’s statement.

“We never got around to it, we’ve been to busy. And besides we decided that-.” Edge added looking to Rus.

“That needs to change.” She interjected walking out of the hole. “Wedding, now.”

“What?” Edge and Rus asked at the same time watching the woman walk out. “We can’t just get married!”

“Sure you can.” She smiled looking back to them. “Now follow me.”

“Whoa whoa whoa, what makes you think we even want to get married? We’ve talked about this already and decided we wouldn’t.” Edge protested following after her. He staggered and leaned against the hole frame for support.

“Edge hun relax, you still need your rest.” Rus worried walking over to him and placing a hand on his shoulder. The old woman looked back.

“You’re in worse shape than I thought.” The woman mumbled to herself walking back over. “Sit, rest. You need your strength, the world will have to wait for you until you’re healed.” The woman instructed leading Edge back to the bed. Edge sat down heavily with a *huff*. Rus sat next to him picking up Sage and leaned his head against Edge’s shoulder. Edge wrapped an arm around Rus pulling him into a hug.

“Twisted.” The woman asked looking to the other.

“Yes?” Twist replied looking to her.

“Come, we must give them space. And you still need to work on your training.” She stated, walking out of the hole. Twist followed after. “Marcus you too.”

Marcus followed as well.

Edge laid back on the bed, and Rus laid with him holding him and putting Sage on his chest.

“How long’s it been since we’ve been on a bed?” Edge asked looking up to the dirt ceiling.

“Dunno, I forgot.” Rus sighed looking at Edge’s face. Edge kept his eyes cast to the ceiling. Sage peacefully asleep on her dad’s chest, Rus barely holding onto consciousness. They were exhausted from the past four days. Rus slipped into sleep, Edge was to fearful of the new surroundings to rest. He could sleep later, right now he needed to make sure Rus and Sage were safe. They should have gone with Hickory.

    After a few hours Rus woke to what sounded like Sage crying. Rus opened his eyes only to see nothing. No light, no people, no anything. Just a black void. The crying got louder, he walked towards the noise. Where was he? 

“Edge?” Rus called out, but his voice sounded distant. Almost as if it was foreign to his own ears. Then the crying stopped. Rus listened in deafening silence walking forward still.

“Edge?” He called out again looking forward.

“Edge?” A voice called back. Rus stopped dead in his tracks. Who was that? Why did it sound like him? No, that sounded nothing like him. His voice was smother easy to listen too, this voice sounded almost as if it was trying to imitate him, but also not at the same time. It sounded, wrong.

“Hello?” Rus called out, slowly starting to walk forward.

“Hello?” the voice called back, it sounded closer and farther than before at the same time.

“Who are you?” Rus asked walking more to the sound.

“Who are you?” the voice repeated. It sounded more wrong each time it repeated Rus’s words. Like it was reversing its own ability to speak. The crying started again. It sounded like it was all around him.

“Hello?” Rus called out again.

“Hello?” The voice repeated now sounding echoed.

“Who are you?” Rus asked hoping for an answer.

“Who are you?” The voice repeated the same distance even after Rus had felt like he was walking forever. Rus started running, the crying becoming worse with every step he took.

“Sage honey, mommy’s here!” Rus yelled running towards the crying.

“Mommy’s here.” The voice repeated with a delayed echo. This time however the voice didn’t stop repeating.

“Mommy’s here. Mommy’s here. Mommy’s here. Mommy’s here.” It repeated each time sounding less and less like Rus. They crying got louder, it was then that Rus noticed something about the crying. He stopped and listened. He was right. Rus backed up slightly, the crying wasn’t getting louder or softer. The crying wasn’t changing at all. It started with a loud whine then yelling then screaming and calling for mama, then it repeated. Rus was horrified. Then the noise justed stopped again. Nothing but blackness and the sound of Rus panting. He heard what he thought were footsteps, but they were too out of order. Too heavy for a baby, to uncoordinated for an adult. *step* *slide* *shuffle* *step* *repeat* *step* *slide* *shuffle* *step* they sounded like someone just learning to walk. Rus was too afraid to turn around, he thought if he did whatever it was would chase after him. So he kept quietly backing up. As this continued the steps got more even. Then faster. Rus couldn't turn around he kept his slow pace backwards. It was only when he heard the tapping of running did he turn and sprint. He ran as fast as he could though it felt like he wasn't even moving, rather just running in place. Rus was too afraid to scream the tapping coming closer. He looked behind him and saw nothing. Then the tapping stopped. Rus stopped running it never felt like he was getting anywhere anyways. When he looked back in front of him however standing over him was a large black figure. It’s limbs were outstretched, its fingers pointed into long claws. Its neck thin, its eyes rimmed with white and hollowed out, almost as if staring straight through Rus. Its teeth on the outside of its face in a toothy grin. Its whole body staticy. Almost as if fading out of existence. It opened its mouth and let out an echoed cry. It looked like it was trying to speak.

“What?” Rus asked looking at the thing.

“no.” It whispered leaning in.

“What?” Rus asked again getting closer.

“NO!” It yelled in Rus’s voice. Rus jumped back.

“We have to hurry!” It yelled in Edge’s voice.

“We’re not gonna make it.” It cried in a woman's voice.

“Edge we’re not gonna make it!” It yelled in another voice. This one sounding like that twisted skeleton.

“Look out!” It yelled in Edge’s voice again. Then it was silent.

“What.. was that?” Rus asked hesitantly. It never replied just looked at Rus and faded out of existence.

“Rus… Rus.. Rus!” Edge yelled somewhere in the distance.

“Edge?” Rus asked looking around. Rus started shaking. Why was he shaking he want scared.

“Rus!” Edge yelled again.
