A creature with a fish's head needle-like teeth and four arms lept at Andreas with its deep blue and slightly green skin reflecting the last embers of sunlight.
Consumed by fear and shock of this reality breaking creature Andreas jumped to the side and fell on his buttocks, he dodged the creature's many rows of teeth without harm.
Andreas immediately stood back up and flinched by the sight of the fish's yellowed eyes staring at him. The creature discharged slightly green foam from its mouth and again lept at Andreas.
Seeing the creature's intent to harm him, and ran off the bridge and turned left, still running along the bloody river while the creature wildly lept from building to building chasing Andreas.
As he ran Andreas asked himself why is he running and that it would be much better if he dies fighting.
After a few minutes of running Andreas saw a pile of half eaten bodies of animals and poeple that was about to block the red river and a few meters behind it 5 fish like creatures similar to the one chasing him saw Andreas and jumped across the river ending on the other side of the river.
Andreas questioned the behavior of the creatures.
Are they scared of me or where they just surprised...
Andreas continued to run for a few seconds and the creatures on the opposite side of the river 2 watched him while the rest continued to run.
Recognizing their behavior and the behavior of the creature behind him Andreas concluded that the one chasing it was acting irrationally possibly due to some unknown factors.
Andreas covered his mouth and nose after the smell of rotting flesh assaulted him and he turned to the nearest corner and continued to run passing by a few walking corpses.
After passing an undead knight with dirtyand bloodly white and gold armor and a bloody grey sword that lockedtoo thick to be practical or properly sharp, he stopped 30 meters passed him at a bakery with a bloody and broken large window.
He vomited and coughed a 3 times. While whining his moth with his frilly sleeves he watched as the undead was about 8 meters away from him and the fish creature was slightly above him.
Goddammit this is??? actually what is this? Am I in hell? Andreas asked himself with a smile thinking that maybe he finally committed and was no longer a too cowardly do to so.
He jumped to the left dodging the fish creature's teeth and long thin arms.
Andreas then stepped closer to the knight that was swinging its sword toward him and stopped the strike by holding his wrist and with firmed kick to the legs the knight awkwardly fell and Andreas stomped on the undeads back and took its fallen sword, ran a few steps away of the two beings that broke what Andreas considered reality and looked at the with a disgusted look with a forced smile.
And shifted his weight to better wield the suppringly light sword and watched as the undead awkwardly rose to its feet and the fish creature sqwated and slammed its upper arms on the concrete road easily breaking it.
After a minute or two, with an anxious look Andreas watched as the the undead started to Walk towards him and the creature held it's fishy head and formed from it mouth.
As the undead salivate from its black lounge that laid on its dislodged jaw its blond hair covered its remaining eye as it reached its arms towards Andreas.
With a sigh Andreas intertained the idea that he might have gone mad and the creatures and walking corpse are normal poeple. He swung his sword opening the knight's neck and removing his arms.
The knight's head hung loosely on his back and with multiple clans and thuds its arms fell on the concrete road. Andreas swung again this time making sure that the head was fully separated and kicked down the knight while he kept watched of the maddened fish.
GOD! I hope I'm not really mad. The again I'm not really a person with good mental health. "Hehe". He thought with an awkward chuckle.

Dongmei ang kihoko set on a brown colored tiled roof overlooking a bright red temple with the colorful window illustrations of a tall figure draped completely with a black cloth that laid a meter around the creature and a four armed white dragon, they stood on yellow outlines of separate windows the dragon's head lowered and staring towards the open door of the temple while the tall figure stood upright inside the black cloth.
Dongmei tensed her eyes and looked at her rapier's hilt. "Seriously! I understand now that the... that he isn't following us but how can his spirituality grow so much." She complained expecting no answer.
"Probably something powerful.." kihoko said with wide smile and looking at Dongmei with her bright golden dragonic eyes.
"... I know, but its too much spirituality, it might attract the creature inside that temple and we would have to deal with something worse if it interacted with Aldric."
"True..."
"..."
After a few moments of silence kihoko intertained an idea with a wry smile she said. "We should go meet him, since he still hasn't gained an ability we should see if he'd be usefull or not if he is we could offer up a deal and if not we should kill... no maybe we can figure something else on the way."
"Fine! Its really boring watching that thing die, a distraction would be nice."
"..."
"Hello there ladies."
A few minutes of walking someone Tall and beautiful wearing white armor with silver outlines fell from the sky and with a loud thud.
Dongmei pointed her rapier and asked. "Miss Naxys"
Navy's puffed up her chest looked down at Dongmei who was a head shorter and commanded. "It is Goddess miss Naxys, I won't allow you to disrespect my name again."
Kihoko turned to Dongmei who smirked so she took a step back and wings sprouted from her back.
