He stumbled on his new legs, his claws digging into and churning up the soft ground below him. He squinted, the harsh sunlight hurting his new sensitive eyes. “What the-..” he whispered. He attempted to step forward with wobbly legs but fell flat on his face, hair falling down over his eyes. He huffed, lifting himself up with his arms, sharp blade like spiked shot out from where his elbows were. He swiped the hair from his face angrily, the soft purple curls getting tangled up in his hands.
He looked down at his legs, they bent like an animal's, the same sort of thing like his elbows but here on his hock (ankle of an animal leg) was a similar sharp spike shot out. He was covered in shimmering purple scales…sorta like a lizard.. And a long tail with sharp spikes at the end and heavy wings protruding from his back.
Just minutes ago he had been a normal player. So what happened? He tried to stand up again but was met with the same face in dirt fate. He clawed at the ground, quickly growing frustrated with life. “Ugh stupid stupid stupid!” he yelled, kicking at the ground like it was the one who did this to him. He slumped back down, wings spreading out behind him. A soft low rattle coming from his tail.
“You ok there bro?” a voice rang from overhead. Wemmbu looked up, an angry scowl plastered to his face. “Who are you?” he snapped. The player knelt down, tilting their head to the side to better look at the angry purple player in front of them. “I’m Minutetech…who are you?”
Wemmbu sat up, rubbing the dirt from his face. “The name is Wemmbu.” He muttered. “Wemmbu? Hmm Haven't heard that name before.” The player now known as Minutetech answered. He paused and thought for a moment before shaking his head. “Do you need some help up?” He extended a hand down for Wemmbu to take.
The purple player glared at him and hesitantly took his hand. Minute pulled him up onto his feet, helping keep the new player steady since it didn’t seem like they knew how to walk. “So, what brings you here?” He asked, testing the waters of this new found player “I don’t even know where “here” is.” Wemmbu answered flatly, more focused on not getting a face full of dirt again. |
Minute nodded, “You're on Lifesteal, honestly I’m surprised the others haven’t shown themselves yet.” He looked around, and shook his head over to a tree not too far away. Wemmbu followed the path and spotted a sword pointing out from behind the tree. “Not very good at hiding it seems hmm.” he stated.
His ears twitched as he heard the shuffle of grass behind him. His tail shook with warning, even though he could barely stand he wouldn’t let any random players just sneak up on him.
“Yo dude! Seems we got a new friend joining us!!” a heavy weight landed on his shoulders, which made him stumble for a moment. “Be careful Zam, he isn’t used to this all yet.”
“Ah sorry!” they jumped back, waving their hands as they apologized over and over. “Anyways!! I’m PrinceZam. Nice to meet you! Welcome to the server!!”
Wemmbu shifted back, “Uh yeah, thanks.” he looked around, spotting a few more players randomly hiding around. His eyes narrowed as he noticed they all carried some sort of weapon. “So, fighting server I assume…?” Zam nodded, “yep yep!”
Minute pulled Wemmbu a little closer, “And everyone will remember we do NOT kill new members right!?”
A mummer broke out from the surrounding area. “Yes Minutetech…”
“Good, now come on Wemmbu let’s get you set up and help you get used to the way this place works.” He led Wemmbu along, explaining things as they went.
If only he hadn’t gone into that stupid portal.
