They saw it up ahead. The the flapping noise rippled through the sky. The churning mass shifted, but remained a grim black. A haunting shadow that had escaped the ground and defiantly stood in the air.
Why were there so many fucking crows?
They continued walking through the blasted lands, already weary from battle, but refusing to stop. They had long since passed the point of no return in their mission to find the Overlord. And, something else needed to be found now as well.
Oh, there it was.
Beneath the undulating mass of crows was a hunched over figure. As the caws of the frantic birds came to their ears, so did a far more grating noise.
"Guhaw haw haw! Haw haw haw! Heehee hyuck!"
Rexward.
As they got closer, they saw the birds descend on him, enveloping him like an amoeba that was really big or whatever. They both picked up the pace, worried that it was too late too save him. Delza called out.
"Rexward! Don't worry Rexward we're here to help you! Are you okay?!" The black cell churned and then as suddenly as it had dropped, the birds scattered in all directions, leaving only a shadow on the ground. "Rexward!! Can you hear me?!" As they began to get close to him, he stood up.
Clad only in a leather trench coat, and now with a grim expression of disgust, he glared back at his former companions.
"You stupid fucks should stop walking around like pussies and get a job." Outhouse met his glare.
"Why did you kill Dreamer? What's wrong with you? Do you know how long I've been walking without a mount?" Rexward rolled his eyes back and started clicking his tongue in disgust, then gyrating wildly.
"OooOooh I'm so sorry I made you walk you lazy chinaman. You don't understand, aliens have shown me what we really are."
Delza shook her head, looking at Rex with tears in her eyes. "Rexward, please don't do this. We're all your friends...what you did to Dreamer...don't you feel bad about that?"
"HeeheeeheheheheehHEEEEEEEEEEEH!! Friend? That moron was literal human garbage. Maybe you two annie mays are ok, but the alien told me to kill you. Sorry." He reached into his trenchcoat and pulled out a jagged shard of glass. "And by the way, it's Rex."
Rex leapt at them crotch first, his eyes dilating wildly as he held the glass overhead. Outhouse stepped forward and swung in perfect sync.
"THNK!"
"HooHOOOOOOOOOOH!!!" Rex was knocked backwards and fell to the ground, clutching his now bruised hip. "Hrk hrk hrk!" He jumped to his feet again, this time throwing glass through the air. Outhouse shielded his face but felt the bite of the fragments sinking into his arm.
"Ggh! Delza, knock him out!" Delza stood there crying, unable to draw her weapon against her friend.
"Rexward! Can't you hear me Rexward? It's me, Delza! Outhouse if your friend too! We met in the village with Cosbydaf, remember?!"
Rex continued to throw his deadly knives of glass, gleefully chortling like a hillbilly who has just discovered his cousin is single. Outhouse grimaced as he felt the wetness of blood dripping down his arm. He realized if he didn't make a move soon he'd be spending his nights with a bloody mass of hamburger. Swinging his rake wildly, he rushed Rex.
"Pmbt!"
"DAMMNIT!"
"K-krack!"
"Ha-Hyuck!"
Outhouse fell back, his jaw throbbing from the punch it received.
Rex fell back, his arm shattered from the unforgiving blow of the rake.
Outhouse stood first. "Stay down! Until we figure out why you went crazy you aren't going anywhere!" Rex only shook his head, and with his working arm popped a pill into his mouth.
"See you on the flip side, mothe...r fu..." His eyelids drooped shut.
Rex was dead.
Rexward was dead.
Outhouse stood silently for a moment, the sound of Delza's crying nothing more than unintelligible white noise.
It might have been an emotional moment, had it not been interrupted.
WHO HAS SLAIN MY PROPHET?! COME BEFORE ME!
Above Rex's corpse, a crack appeared. No wall, no surface, just a crack. With a sickening noise akin to stepping onto a frozen lake, the crack widened, and soon opened up into a vast gulf, darkness and stars shining out from within.
Outhouse looked at Delza. "C'mon...let's see if those aliens need some yard work done."
