Chapter 1: Self-Neglectful Sickness

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tick tock...

 

Tick tock....

 

Tick tock.....

 

Tick tock......

 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

 

 

That's how the clock sounds during the round... Counting do the seconds until your next break until you're back to dying...

Shedletsky sat on top of the castle along with Taph, Dusekkar, and Noob

Shedeltsky was waiting for his cooldown to go down as the other sentinels protect the others..

At least that's what Shedletsky hopes

 

But lately Shedletsky has been feeling sick and weak, causing him to miss his slashes

 Most people had been getting mad at him over it, some understood why..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But he knew deep down something was wrong

This wasn't your regular sickness you'd get

 

 

 

 

It was something else entirely...

But Shedletsky didn't want to jump to conclusions yet...

 

 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

 

 

 

The round soon ended, and Shedletsky went into his cabin and flopped onto his bed, he didn't even realize he was bleeding-

 

What..

No

 

No No

 

NO NO NO

 

 

 

 

"THIS ISN'T REAL. I'M A HUMAN NOW, NOT A GOD ANYMORE. I CAN'T BE BLEEDING ICHOR." 

 

Shedletsky felt his chest tightening as he tried to make sense of the situation

 

"I-I... Just need to wrap this up.. N-no one needs to know about this... Not even Builderman..."

 

It was a hard decision, but it felt right to do... He didn't want Builderman worrying about him any more than he should... 

 

Shedletsky quickly bandaged up his wound in his bathroom when he felt a sharp pain in his back

 

"Holy name of robloxia..."

 

Shedletsky made a disgusted sound under his breath when he saw the leak of golden blood through the bandage...

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Everyone else was in the main cabin, Builderman was worried about Shedletsky since he wasn't getting any better..

 

He wanted to check up on Shedletsky but decided to give him his own space for now..  

 

For now, Builderman checked up on everybody to see how they were doing

 

Elliot was making pizzas as usual, Guest was talking about his family as usual, Dusekkar was talking with Taph, 007n7.. Was talking with Noob, Chance was flipping his coin as usual,Two time was just being... well Two time..

 

Builderman looked at the stairs, but remembered that Shedletsky was in his cabin.. He was so used to seeing Shedletsky cleaning his sword on the steps of the stairs

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Shedletsky walked out of his cabin, heading to the main cabin while coughing a bit... which really didn't help since he was coughing ichor, so he was going to need to hide that....

 

 

 

Hopefully no one notices...

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Builderman is glad to see Shedletsky out of his cabin, but can see that Shedletsky isn't feeling better still..

 

"I hope he gets better... Everyones been getting mad at him for missing his slashes lately when he's too weak to even hold it up to swing..." Builderman thought to himself

 

 

 

 

"I should talk with him..."

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 2: The Rebirth of a god

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

Shedletsky sat on the steps of the stairs, lost in thought as he tried his best to hide his bandaged arm

 

 

He couldn't help but shift uncomfortably as he felt the gaze of the other survivors staring at him.. Mumbling about him and how he kept missing his slashes..

 

Shedletsky tried to distract himself from the survivors' soft murmurs by cleaning his sword, but the softness and quietness of their voices seemed to ring in his head. Shedletsky's chest tightened once more until he noticed Builderman walking up to him

 

Shedletsky took a deep breath and suck up the pain that felt like his chest was about to burst he knew Builderman was gonna check up on him...

.

That was the last thin g he wanted right now.

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

Shedletsky forced a smile. "I really should've stayed in my cabin..."  Shedletsky thought to himself

 

"Heya, shed, how ya holdin' up...?" Builderman asked hesitantly as he sat next to Shedletsky

 

"I'm fine..." Shedletsky said, blatantly lying to Builderman's face

 

"Shed... don't lie to me.. I know when ya're lyin' to my face.. I've known ya long enough to tell..." Builderman's eyes looked at him pleadingly

 

"Buildsy, you don't have to worry about me-" Shedletsky was cut off by Builderman.

 

"Shedletsky, cut the bullshit, you ain't foolin' nobody... I just wanna lend a hand..." Builderman pleaded once more

 

"Builderman, quit it..." Shedletsky sighed a bit irritably

 

"No siree! Not 'til ya spill the beans 'bout what's gnawin' at ya!" Buildermans voice rose

 

"QUIT IT!" Shedletsky yelled out, Builderman became a bit startled as this was the first time Shedletsky had yelled ever since they'd gotten into this hell hole.. For the most part, he's always stayed calm.. Sure, maybe a little tense, and that's about it.. But never yelling..

 

Shedletsky took a deep breath, the whole cabin looking at him. "I-I-I'm sorry, Buildsy... I.." Shedletsky glanced around the cabin... All eyes staring at him, his chest constricting more and more... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He couldn't breathe

 

 

 

 

 

But he so badly needed to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"I-I'm sorry..." Shedletsky whispered to Builderman as he ran back to his cabin

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

Shedletsky collapsed on his bathroom floor, wheezing and gasping for air, coughing violently in the process

 

After around 10-15 minutes of lying on the hard bathroom tiles, Shedletsky's breathing calmed down

 

Shedletsky tried to stand, but his legs felt like jelly

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

That's when he felt it again.. That unmistakable sharp pain in his back.. like something was trying to break free from inside his skin..

 

It was unbearable to the point that Shedletsky began crying out of pain

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Shedletsky spawned into the round, and the pain had subsided just a bit; it was just an aching pain in his back now...

 

The Killer this round was 1x1x1x1

 

"He's most definitely going for me first... I already look like I'm about to die...

 

The map was Yorick's Resting Place

 

At this point, Shedletsky knew these maps, just like where each sword was on SFOTH... sfoth... A name he thought he wouldn't say ever again here..

no time to dwell on that right now...

 

3:23 minutes left...

 

Shedletsky was walking around trying to find 1x as he felt better, the aching pain was gone at least for now... Shedletsky hoped that he could at least get one slash before the pain came back

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Shedletsky saw 1x chasing Taph and saw his chance to land a hit on 1x, he waved Taph over to the bridge he was on... 

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

...

 

But the pain came back right when he swung..

 

 

Shedletsky was sure he was dead meat

 

 

... But 1x ran right past him..?

 

Shedletsky used the side of the bridge to hold himself up, the pain came back more insistent, and he felt like someone was stabbing his back in four different places

 

By the time he stood up, he saw that Taph was already dead..

 

Shedletsky realized that almost everyone was dead... guest and noob were the only ones left... Shedletsky decided to push himself to get to the house on the hill before LMS

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

On his way there, the pain grew worse, threatening to rip out of his back... He almost collapsed on the ground from the pain...

 

 

By the time he made it there, it was LMS with their theme.. Creation of Hatred

 

 

Shedletsky was deep in the house, far in a corner, his whole body ached , making him unable to stand up or run if 1x made it there...

 

 

 

 

 

0:57 Seconds left...

 

 

 

Shedletsky had closed his eyes before he could sense a presence nearby, which he knew was 1x and when he finally opened his eyes, he was correct...

 

What a surprise..

 

But what was the surprise was 1x speaking to him..

 

" Creator ..." 1x growled out

 

"Hey there kiddo..." Shedletsky could've sworn he saw a glimmer of softness in 1x's eyes before it quickly vanished

 

".... Did you ever truly love me..?" 1x spoke, his voice slightly hesitant but clear

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those words felt like a punch to Shedletsky's stomach

 

 

 

 

 

"Telamon never loved you... But I do... I know what it's like to lose something very special and dear to me..." Shedletsky spoke, his tone pleading for 1x to listen and believe him

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0:34 Seconds left...

 

1x reached out to help his crea- no.. Father up and pulled him into a hug...

Shedletsky felt the pain fade away as he held his son closely

 

 

 

 

 

 

 0:23 Seconds left...

 

 

 

 

The pain suddenly came back worse than all of the other days of pain combined

 

 

Whatever was trying to come out of his back pressed more insistently

 

Shedletsky fell to the ground as 1x stepped away

 

Shedletsky trembled as he used his elbows to support himself

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It ripped through his skin... his back aching in pain as 4 more wings sprouted out, he could hear the tearing of his skin, which made him sick

 

 

The sickening crunches of bones and flesh mixed into one sound of pure agony as his screams were a part of it..

 

 

 

His blood-curdling screams and cries, along with his short, heavy breaths

 

 

 

 

The newly sprouted wings dripped with golden ichor...

 

 

Shedletsky was on the ground, his elbows no longer holding him up anymore...

 

His body slightly twitched as he let out soft hicups from his crying

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0:00

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everyone saw what happened to Shedletsky, their faces converted from shock and disgust.. some were even crying..

 

While with Two Time... They had a face full of interest from it....

 

 

 

Builderman sat there frozen, he couldn't speak, he couldn't cry out, nor could he shout how unfair it was that they took his best friend from him...

 

 

 

 

 

no one saw Shedletsky spawn in the lobby and began making theories about what could've happened to Shedletsky...

 

 

 

 

 

....Finally Builderman let out chocked sobs mumbling to himself about how unfair everything was...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Where am I....?" Shedletsky groaned as he looked around the unfamiliar place

Shedletsky woke up in a small room.. It wasn't bad, just the basic things you'd see in a bedroom, a bed, and a closet...

 

Shedletsky had a throbbing headache and began to cough once more... coughing more ichor....

 

Shedletsky found the bathroom connected to his room and ran into there, locking the door

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And what he saw was someone he thought he had gotten rid of...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The old robes clung to him loosely, the hood covering his face halfway, only showing his eyes that gleamed with bloodlust under the light that shined above him

 

 

"Did I agree to this...? Did my son trick me...?" Shedletsky thought to himself, still looking at himself in the mirror, hoping... Praying that this was just some terrible dream

 

Shedletsky pinched himself, hoping it was a dream... Instead, he was greeted with sharp nails....

 

But it wasn't nails...

 

They were talons

 

 

"What the fuck.... No.. T-this isn't real, I shouldn't be back to him..." Shedletsky's vision blurred as the headache grew worse with each passing second. It felt like before he was taken here, except this was worse....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was breaking his skull...

 

 

 

 

 

Shedletsky's breaths grew more ragged and heavy...

 

His hands gripped the sink tightly, the sink threatening to crack and break, his talons subtly scraped against the ceramic

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each second felt like hell...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then...

 

 

It happened again...

 

 

 

The same feeling that he felt in his back was now in his head...

 

 

 

A pair of wings broke through the sides of his skull...

 

 

The pain was excruciating, worse than when he had the wings break out of his back...

 

 

 

 

 

But he couldn't scream out... He was forced to endure this...

 

 

 

 

He just stared at himself... In silence

 

 

 

 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1x1x1x1 POV

1x was sitting lazily on the couch waiting for the rounds to begin… but they couldn’t stop thinking about what happened with Shedletsky..

 

 

 

 

He still remembered the screams and the tearing of flesh…

 

 

1x shivered at the thought, but he wondered what the Spectre wanted with Shedletsky…

 

 

 

 

 

1x glanced at the bedroom door where Shedletsky was..

 

 

 

1x took a deep breath and decided to check up on his creator…

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Shedletsky's head hung low as the pain dulled out into an ache before he hesitantly decided to look up at the mirror

 

His breath hitched as his vision blurred while his mind raced, trying to make sense of the situation 

 

 

 

But finally, he hesitantly raised a hand to the wings on his head to make sure this was happening

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

His hand brushed against the soft, almost silk-like feathers that fluttered excitedly as if they were happy he was like this again....

 

 

 

 

 

Shedletsky wanted to pull the wings out...

 

 

 

 

He needed to

 

 

 

 

 

 

But he couldn't bring himself to do it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shedletsky jerked his head to the side as he heard a knock, quiet and hesitant, yet there

 

 

 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

Shedletsky didn't feel in control of his body as he walked out of the bathroom to open the bedroom door

 

 

 

 

"Hello...?" Shedletsky ducked down to see who was in the doorway 

 

"Father...?" 1x stood motionless after he took in the appearance of Shedletsky.. 

 

 

 

 

But that wasn't Shedletsky anymore

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That was Telamon now...

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1x1x1x1 POV

 

 

 

"What the hell...? N-no... You can't h-h-hurt me... not anymore, Telamon." I stammered, I didn't want to sound weak, but seeing him again brings back horrible memories....

 

 

 

Telamon muttered something... probably something about me being weak

 

 

I shuddered at the thought

 

I always braced myself for any yelling from Telamon, but none came

 

I found it strange, especially since I also called Telamon dad... Telamon would be glaring at me and telling me not to call him dad or anything of that sort

 

 

 

 

 

 

Telamon just stared at him

 

 

 

 

 

 

"W-well...? Are you not going to say anything?" I finally spoke, trying to break the silence

 

Telamon blinked a couple of times, "Right..." Telamon looked down at himself

 

"Listen... I know I look like him.... But I swear I won't hurt you..."

 

"BULLSHIT!"  I yelled at him, not believing what he was saying

 

 

 

Telamon opened his mouth, as if to say something, but quickly closed it

 

I smirked at that

 

"Got nothing to say, huh..." I hated how weak that came out... Telamon just looked down, defeated... It was a strange look to see on him, considering I had never seen him this vulnerable before...  

 

 

 

I decided to test something...

 

 

"... Dad..?" I hesitantly spoke, bracing myself once more, as I expected him to lash out...

 

 

Telamon's pupils dilated as I called him that... which was weird..

 

"Yeah kiddo..?" Telamon said softly, Telamon usually speaks formally, and whatever god shit he has going on... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But this was Shedletsky...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It all clicked together...

 

 

 

 

 

The Spectre wanted 1x to bond with his creator 

Then it takes that away, makes Shedletsky suffer with the wings...

But Shed isn't acting hostile... Maybe it's just in the rounds..?

I hope that's the case

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The scene is still ingrained into my head.. The screams and the blood... Even I backed away..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"You're not Telamon... Shedletsky...?"

 

"Yes.." Shedletsky spoke up

I'm glad he at least believes me... I expected a bit more of a fight from him...

 

 

Ugh, my head is hurting like hell again.....
