A Terror From The Other Side Part #4 - A Maynia rough draft

Here we have some more of my story developing with more events unfolding as Lorek and the group progress. I am still putting a little bit of thought into some parts and eventually will work throughout it all to add what I could have missed, change small parts to feel more in line with the story and events unfolding at that point, all while enjoying what I have created.

Rough draft #4

A Terror From The Other Side


The group got through dinner and general chatter and when it hit 7pm, moved to the laboratory so they could carry on with planning how they will go about scouting the two locations.

Mountains were going to be a good vantage point if they were clear, as Lorek was a solid shot but they cannot take on a whole hoard due to ammo being limited to twelve bullets total. But should the mountain not be suitable then moving behind a tree in the field with clear line of sight to the mountain and the back of it allows determining what exactly is going on in that area.

The river and cave would be a more cautious area with two having to enter the cave while the other stands guard outside, somewhere off the side of the river with view of the whole location but easy access to the cave.

“I am not going to lie when saying I am scared as those caves sound like a horrible place to be facing Vegranar and the other thing” Heather announced with a worried look on her face.

“You only have to scout it out a little bit with Bruce and he has my gun. Listen and look out for any activity then once you get some good information on possible numbers or what is happening, then get out to let us know so we can work out where to go from meeting back up again” Lorek said while smiling and putting a hand on Heather’s shoulder.

His reassurance into things working out brought a smile and calm feeling over Heather so she would not be so scared during this mission, giving focus to better gather the information while surviving until everyone meets up once more.

After the discussion came to an end and all preparations had been made for the following day, the time was 8:37pm and everyone was tired from the events of the day so they decided to get ready to sleep, being shown by Eleanora to a room setup for Heather and Bruce, one for Niamat, and one for Rose and her two sons.

Seeing nobody around them led Amial to grab Lorek by his left hand, leaning in for a kiss. He had wanted to kiss her for some time now but thought there was no interest from her, “I was not expecting you to do that even though I wanted it.”

“Well, the thought had crossed my mind before but being so busy and in my own world stopped me from getting to see you more than I had been. I should have come sooner but now; this has given me the chance to get closer to you while fighting things from the transcendental plane which are currently beating us for control of our real, physical side of the universe.”

“So, we basically have to fight these things until we can get a proper foothold and control taken back before we get wiped out?”

The look on her face while staring at LM-01, 02 and 03 in silence was enough to tell Lorek he was right. All though new people joined the group with the intention to help fight this war, it just did not feel like enough to him, but at least if they could find the staging point from which all these creatures came from then fighting would be a lot easier with more focus added on recruiting and rebuilding where possible.

“We should probably lay down and head to sleep soon. If you want to join me, you are welcome to” Amial suggested with a smile and walking off.

Only a short moment was taken before seeing Amial look back at him with her smile and he made the decision to follow. Her room was dimly lit to add a soothing, romantic vibe showing she was wanting this to happen tonight and a smile came to Lorek as he looked into her eyes and smiled before kissing her. Both decided to lay down to cuddle and kiss before going to sleep for a fresh day or fighting Vegranar but as partners instead of friends.

Morning came around, the phone showed 7am. Lorek turned to Amial who was absent from the bed, maybe rising early to get work done. “I should probably get up and get ready for the long day ahead of us.”

After a shower and getting dressed he was ready for breakfast and seeing what she was up to. Only Eleanora was up as he walked the hallway to the laboratory, stopping by the kitchen to make a cup of coffee. One was just being made for him and Amial, which he took both cups and headed into the laboratory to see what work she was doing.

Looking toward the benches there was an experiment going on with a mix of chemicals and some bits from the environment outside like leaves and mushrooms, so Lorek walked over and asked what was being worked on while handing her the coffee.

“Oh, hey you, I did not know you were up” Amial said before kissing him and taking the coffee. She sipped at it and carried on with the work. “I am working on a strong chemical agent to hopefully lure the creatures to a certain spot as a help in future attacks.”

“That will be a big help, good work with coming up with something. Are you planning on testing it on our friends to see if they get attracted to a spot somewhere outside with it situated?” Lorek asked as he went to give attention to the LM creatures.

Amial agreed while putting the finishing touches on the chemical agent. There was a smell detected with a sour feeling to the nose, so it was not a good idea to go breathing it in but at least it was done. They went just out through the door from the laboratory to the side of the house to leave a small patch behind a tree about twenty metres away before Lorek headed in to grab LM-03 for this one. He took it outside and let it go, watching as it made its way towards the tree to indicate it has an affect on these ones at least.
