I may have left out some warnings! My apologies. I'm new in the sense of posting things online. This is my first time ever posting, even though I've read many fics over the years. Anyway, here we go!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Styx was one pissed off goblin. The human that was controlling him had let him die AGAIN. He knew that because he was a video game character that he could never truly die, but it still got annoying. This time he’d had enough. Deciding to use what magic he could, he was going to attempt to pass the barrier that separated the two worlds apart. The goblin knew that if he were to cross into the human world, he wouldn't be able to make it back. So, he had no choice but to bring the human into his. Honestly, Styx could have given a rat’s ass if the human got stuck in his. He laughed to himself. Since digesting Amber for the first time, Styx found himself able to preform certain types of magic with the help of sand. He usually kept a pile on him, but his store seemed a little low to create a portal. The re-spawn point had the green skin on a ledge that lead to his hideout. Crouching, he scoured the area for one of the random sacks of sand the humans had lying about. Once spotted, he hopped off the ledge and grabbed hold of a nearby iron rod protruding from the wall. There was a set of them that formed a line. He jumped from one to the next. At the last one, he held off until the guard fucked off, then hopped onto the railing lining the walkway. Looking both ways and seeing no one watching, he grabbed the sand strewn across the carpet and filled his pockets with it. Styx was unsure as to how much he would need. Now, the goblin had to decide the best place to bring the human through. He looked behind him at the ledge he had previously been chilling on and studied it. It looked large enough for two beings. He made his way back, and just in time too, the guards had returned to stick their noses in shit they didn't belong.
Styx planned to bring the human across the barrier in order to teach them a lesson in person. He figured they must be deaf because cussing the fucker out while he fell to his death didn't work. He huffed at that and lifted his hands, sand seeping between his fingers. His eyes glowed bright amber in the darkness, the magic flowing through his veins making them hauntingly beautiful. He threw the piles up and in mid air, the sand came to a halt and started to take shape. Eventually, a circle was formed, a red magic filling the inside. Styx smirked.
A redheaded human girl was fuming slightly. After the character in her game fell to his death, the television screen went black instead of reloading to her last save point like normal. At first, she wasn't concerned because she figured maybe the game had glitched. However, after trying everything from fooling with the controller, to get back to the main screen, to restarting the console, the game refused to cooperate. “What the fuck?!” The girl was starting to get agitated. She had played the game through a few times and even owned the sequel to it. The game fascinated her with its beautiful graphics and interesting story line. Plus, she couldn't deny that the main character was pretty hot and charismatic. The redhead sighed longingly at the thought of the goblin’s breathtaking eyes and attractive voice. His body wasn't so bad either.
Giggling to herself, she could almost forget that her game was being a little bitch. Styx had a way of distracting her in ways other interests of hers just couldn't. The sound of the controller slipping out of her hand and hitting the ground jerked her out of the reverie she was in. Saddened at remembering the game wasn't working, the redhead decided to make some coffee and take a break. Continuing to fool with it now would just annoy her more and wouldn't get her anywhere. She had been crouching by the game system this whole time so her muscles were protesting. She stood up, stretching with some groaning involved, and headed for the door. With her back turned, she didn’t notice the screen was no longer black.
The T.V. started to shake from the power of the magic coming through the barrier. Somehow, the man made machine didn’t crack from the pressure. As the magic grew stronger, a red light started to emit from the center, creating a circle. It grew bigger and brighter, finally catching the redhead’s attention. “Huh?” She turned towards the T.V and what she saw made her mouth fall open. It took the girl a minute to regain her ability to speak. She'd never seen the game do that before. “What…what’s happening?” She slowly walked towards the now portal and studied it intently. She wasn't sure if this was some part of the game she had never seen before or the console itself acting up. She crinkled her eyebrows in confusion. Out of curiosity, she placed her hand on the screen. She wasn’t sure why, seeing as logic would reason that all that would happen would be a few more fingerprints being added to the collection on the surface, but the niggling feeling in her head was stronger than that logic. She thought she heard a voice telling her to come through the portal, which didn't make sense. Even more curious was the fact that the faint voice almost sounded like Styx. She shook her head, that was nonsense. There was no way Styx could actually talk to her and it was even more impossible that this red circle was a portal. The girl was gravely mistaken, though, when she felt a strong pull, and before her logical mind could grasp what was happening, she was yanked through.
The trip was fast, the portal closing behind the redhead as she sailed through it. She crashed through the other side and came to an abrupt halt, the door to the other side crumbling upon her arrival. Up to this point, the girl’s eyes had been closed. Getting sucked through had not been expected and even worse than her body protesting, was her stomach deciding she may need to revisit lunch. Hazel eyes opened slowly and confusion filled them. She had no idea where she was at. She had never been in this place before, or so she thought. The wood and stone threw her off, as well as the stench violating her nostrils. She gagged because DAMN that smell was horrid. Looking ahead of her, she saw broken metal bars and an opening to what looked to be a sewer. The niggling was back and she started to get a very strong feeling that this should all be familiar to her.
Her nose being burnt to all hell from the assault of what had to be rotting corpses, distracted her from the fact that she was being held up by something other than her own two feet. Once she became somewhat desensitized, awareness of this fact kicked in. This caused the girl to look down at the source of pressure she felt along her body. Thick, muscled arms, covered in scars and tainted green, were wrapped around her waist. If this didn’t confuse her, the most noticeable feature did. An amber colored tattoo glowing bright in the low light, caught her eyes. It started from just below the elbow and travelled all the way up the right side of the appendage. Her breath hitched, she knew that mark anywhere. It couldn't be. Her heart began to pound, uncaring as to whether it could be heard or not. What felt like wind brushed gently across her ear and she shivered. The redhead dared to cock her head back and was met with amber colored eyes that radiated annoyance. She was stuck there for a moment, having fantasized about them many a night. She had thought they were beautiful before, but without the barrier of the t.v. screen separating them, she now saw how truly breathtaking they were. She managed to tear her own eyes away from his and took in his other features, such as the pointy nose, his pearly white fangs, and the signature green skin. The human couldn’t believe what she was seeing. “Styx…”, she whispered softly in realization. She had to be dreaming. There was no way in hell that the redhead was here in the goblin’s arms right now. Then it hit her, she was in his arms. She had to stop herself from swooning. If this was a dream, she didn't ever want to wake up. She became hyper aware of his closeness, his body nearly flush to hers. His face was inches from hers. She could feel his breath caressing her face. The redhead’s pale skin warmed as the blood rushed to her face and it tainted red. She was so screwed.
Styx had not been expecting the human to come flying through the portal. The again, he wasn't even sure it would work. On top of the headaches and scattered memories, he was still discovering what all he was capable of thanks to the amber. He caught the airborne body more out of instinct than really caring if the person got hurt or not. He had to take a couple steps back, the force of the impact almost causing him to lose his footing. The narrow waist was his first clue that the player he had summoned was not a male as he originally expected. His second clue was the distinct difference in chest shape. Soft mounds were resting atop his arm. The sound of her voice gagging, which almost made him bust out laughing, confirmed his suspicion. The idiot human who kept getting him killed, was a girl. Just fucking great. He felt her stiffen and shiver, probably out of disgust. He really hoped the chick didn’t scream. The last thing he needed was for the guards to find them. When she turned to look at him and realization crossed her hazel eyes, all he could think was ‘Here we go. She’s going to scream in 3…2…1…’ He wasn't expecting her to study his face. Was that adoration in her eyes? Nah, the goblin had to be seeing things. The redhead whispering his name softly promoted him to make a smart ass remark. “No, it's your mother.” He huffed out of annoyance, “You act like you've never seen my fuckin’ ass before.” He let go of her and rolled his eyes as she steadied herself. “Shit. Don’t you humans know how to travel through a portal?
The girl nearly felt flat on her face when he had released her. She was still trying to get her bearings and it didn't help that her legs had turned to jelly being in his arms. His remarks made her straighten up fast, though. Infatuation faded quickly and turned to anger, her flush full force. “In my world, we don't have portals asshole! And what the hell am I doing here anyway?!” She knew he could be an ornery mother fucker, but damn. She also wanted to know why he had brought her here. It was definitely a fantasy of hers, but she doubted that he had seen her face and fell madly in love. That mushy bullshit was for the princess stories and Mary-Sue fanfictions. She nearly threw up at the thought. She really hoped she wasn't caught up in one of those stories because she was not afraid to save herself by any means necessary to escape that horrific hell. She shook the creepy thought out of her head and focused back on him, trying not to get distracted by all the skin showing, especially his bare chest. She purred softly in the back of her throat because fuck he was so handsome. Despite her less than innocent musings, she still managed to go off on him. “Are you fucking insane?! I know your abilities and there should have been no way for you to bring me here! What if I get stuck?!” Not that she would have minded being stuck there as long as it was with him, but that was beside the point. “I swear if I'm stuck here, you're going to pay for it, asswipe.”
Styx crossed his arms, amused at her fiery comebacks. He didn't know a female could be so aggressive, they usually were submissive. During her cute little attempt to insult him, his ears perked at the odd noise she made. He’d never heard a human make that sound before. It almost seemed predatory. He assumed it was part of her display to show that she was dominant. He didn't know humans could fall back to baser instincts, but he guessed the ones from her world were different. He had to laugh out loud at that.
“What the fuck are you laughing at?!”
Guess she wasn't deaf after all. “I’m laughing at you. You're acting like an animal. And I brought you here because you keep getting me killed! How the fuck am I supposed to get to the Heart of the Tree if I keep god damn dying?!”
She huffed, if only he knew that it wasn't him who wanted to reach the World Tree. “Me? You're the one who won't fucking use your fingers and grab onto the damn ledge like you're supposed to!” She had jabbed her finger in his chest while saying this, but she wasn't able to push him back much.
Styx grabbed her finger and moved it away, “Listen sweetheart, believe me when I say I know how to use my fingers.” He growled, “You--!”
A guard called out, “What was that? I thought I heard something.”
He stopped short, “Shit.” He peered around to see if any of them had spotted the two during their little spat. Once assured, they hadn't been seen, be turned to her,“We’ll finish this later.” Before the girl could respond, he grabbed her other hand and shoved her down the hole that lead to his hideout.
The redhead went to scream, but a green hand covered her mouth and an arm snaked around her waist.
Once Styx had her secure in his arms, he dropped his hand, which he almost immediately regretted.
“Hey! Where the hell are we going?!” The girl was pissed. The asshole had shoved her down a god damn hole! She knew the smartest place to go would be his hideout, but knowing his scatter brain, they could have been going anywhere. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her legs around his torso, and pulled herself close to him. There was no way in hell she was going to die. The redhead couldn't complain about being in his arms again, though, even if she did want to slit his throat.
“Keep your voice down! We’re headed to my hideout.” Styx was starting to second guess himself. Bringing her here was probably a stupid decision on his part. He'd have to find a way to fix it when they got back.
