Artemis and Her Shows ep 02 part 2 of 02

Artemis, Latis and the twins searched for a week, looking for the best place to set up their show and decided on a small town with a large populace of college students.

“I like the energy here.” Artemis said. “It’s slightly off balanced. It will allow us to alter the environment to suit our needs.”

“There is a nexus here as well.” One of the twins noted.

“There is also a seal. We best avoid it less Jade become aware.”

Artemis nodded. Jade was fun killer. “Do you see anything else?”

“Not at this point in time.” Latis answered. “Now, let’s do a casting.”

The four deities teleported to the college and looked for prospective stars.

His name was Mike and he had just turned twenty-one. And at this point in time, he wished that he had never gotten out of bed. Or better yet, headed to the bar and stayed there. Cause, really, this was too much.

The creature lunged for him, its green skin becoming a blur as he dropped to the ground in an effort to avoid being hit.

What the thing was really didn’t matter; it was trying to hurt him, more than likely kill him. And that was something that he just wouldn’t allow. Kicking the creature between the legs, he jolted as his right foot got stuck.

“What the hell?” he wondered before he pushed off with his left foot in hopes of freeing himself. It worked and Mark landed on his ass.

A condescending laugh was heard and Mark turned to see where it was coming from.

“Best run, little boy.” The voice was male as if the height hadn’t placed that gender into his head. He had his hood up and he carried a tire-iron as if he knew how to use it as a weapon.

“Bitch, you aint no older then I.”

The male stopped and cocked his head. “Give me a moment.”  He redirected his attention to the creature and charged. The tire iron stuck with the accuracy that could only be gifted by a blunt instrument.

Mark would have been impressed if the attack had any effect, but the creature seemed to be a semisolid and the newcomer lost his weapon because of it.
