Gotjawal Forest, Jeju Island
Five Days Later
(Brock POV)
Searching through the forest for the Temple was more complicated than I expected. After so many years, the coordinates I got from the stone tablet were all but useless.
Looking at my watch I saw that I had wasted another day looking for this damn Temple.
Finding a spot to camp, I made a small fire and watched as the sun started to sink in the sky.
Leaning against a tree I thought about whether I was doing anything wrong.
In the show, Cain and Xavier just stumbled upon the Temple.
Yet here I am with five fucking days of searching and still nothing.
Closing my eyes, I utter a weary sigh.
Maybe I'm just wasting my ti out here looking for sothing that doesn't exist.
A twig snaps a few feet away from my camp.
My eyes snap open as I survey the surrounding forest, my hand slipping slowly towards the machete in my bag.
A pair of hungry yellow eyes stared back at from the darkness.
Quickly grabbing my bag and pulling out my weapon, I barely dodged as a huge leopard jumped from one of the trees and leaped at .
The big cat ramd its head into the tree I was leaning on as I slung my bag over my shoulder and took off deeper into the forest.
The leopard let out a growl of anger and I could hear it chasing after , catching up quickly.
Shit!
I knew I couldn't outrun this thing, so I prepared myself to fight and waited for it to make its move.
The leopard reached my back, leaping up to sink its teeth in my neck as I swiftly ducked under the beast and slashed my machete along its underside, leaving a big gash but not enough to kill it.
The leopard snarled in pain and anger as it landed in front of .
Not checking whether the thing was ok I made a sharp right and swerved through the trees as I moved.
A large cliff stopped in my tracks as I could hear the leopard coming for .
Looking over the cliff I inspect the bottom to see a large stream with a strong current running between the rocks.
Making a quick stupid decision I took a few steps back before launching myself over the cliff and into the water below.
My left knee banged against a sharp rock as I splashed into the water and I could see my blood dirty the water as the current seized ahold of .
"Fuck!" I cursed in pain as my knee ached as I tried to stay afloat in the water while also trying to swim with the current.
Waves of water smashed against as the stream took downhill through a winding underground tunnel, eventually dumping in a small subterranean river.
Painfully, I was able to swim to the edge of the river and pull myself out of it, before coughing up water and trying to catch my breath.
Calming down I looked around to figure out where I even was right now.
Rocks stood all around as I was in an underground ravine. Water spilled into the river from above and a small opening to a cave lay behind .
Moving closer to the cave, I noticed small carvings of pictures and strange symbols lining the edges.
But I was most shocked to see the sa crablike man that was on the stone tablet carved into the sides of this cave.
"No fucking way!?"
************
Seoul, South Korea
Temple of Cyttorak
Limping down the tunnel through the cave, I found that it led out into a massive cathedral with red hieroglyphics carved into the wall.
A long row of stairs lines the other side of the cathedra leading up to a small ornate pedestal with a huge glowing crimson Gem floating atop it.
Excitent filled as I saw the objective I'd been fighting for only a few feet away.
Fuck yes!
Limping closer to the stairs, I stopped as a small red energy bolt pierced through my right shoulder, causing to fall and howl at the sudden pain.
"Where do you think you're going mortal?" A high raspy voice called out.
Raising my head, I was appalled to see a short four-foot-tall yellow demon with huge batlike ears on the side of his face and six tiny knots lining his long forehead.
The demon stood atop the stairs as if he had always been there, and gave a ridiculing look.
"The fuck are you supposed to be!" I yell as blood seeps from my shoulder.
The demon's face twitched at my tone before he put on an air of superiority and answered.
"Hear , puny mortal. I am Xorak The Outcast, Guardian of The Crimson Gem, and Servant of Cyttorak The Lord of Oblivion."
The small demon paused and looked at expectantly as if I was supposed to applaud him or sothing.
Instead, I just struggled back up to my feet and took a small pocket knife from my pocket.
It wasn't much but I lost my bag during the swim so it would have to do.
Xorak eyed the tiny weapon and gave another ridiculing look before pointing his finger at .
A small crimson light emitted from his finger before shooting out at lightning-fast speed and hitting in my wounded leg.
"Aaarrgh!!" I winced as the pain hit .
"You mortals always seem to forget your place. You should kneel when a higher being is before you." Xorak said.
I glared up at the small demon, anger, and rage filling my mind to diffuse the pain.
"Fuck you, you half-pint bitch!"
Xorak face took on a look of outrage before he disappeared in a red cloud of mist only to appear again right in front of .
The demon reached its hand out for my neck.
"A re mortal like you dares t-"
He ceased his tirade when his hand abruptly started shriveling up as it ca close to .
"NO! What is happening!! What did you do human?!?" Xorak face paled as he saw the rest of his body shriveling up as well.
His frantic eyes scanned for the cause before landing on the watch on my wrist.
"You conniving MORTAL! You've hidden a temporal device on your person!!" Xorak scread in anger as his body continued to age rapidly.
I watched confusedly as the demon fell to the floor before completely turning into dust.
Temporal Device?
I look down at the watch on my wrist.
Did this fucker just die from my watch?!
{A/N: Didn't make this up. That's bros actual weakness lol.}
Shaking my head I Put the shitty little demon out of my mind as I dragged myself up from the ground, blood oozing from both my arm and leg.
"Fuck!" I cursed out of pain.
Limping through Xorak The Dustpile, I began to make my way up the stairs.
As I got closer and closer to the Gem, the world around began to fade as a crimson red mist started to surround my body.
When I finally made it in front of the Gem my surroundings had completely changed.
Around was a harsh and beautiful realm of scarlet deserts and ruby volcanoes pouring rust-colored ash into a crimson sky. A breathtaking sunset lay just behind the steep red mountains.
Seated on a throne in the middle of this new realm was a giant being in bulky crimson red armor showing only his Erie glowing red eyes.
