Path of Totality; A TDS Eclipse Event Story

🌘Chapter 9🌒

      Maid Commander stepped forward, a bit nervous, "It's a map of the three regions, sir. The Rotfields and Swamp are guarded by a titan each. This right here is called the Totality Tower," she pointed at the third region, "This is where the last two are."

      Commander stared in awe. The map had everything, even the pathways. "Where did you get this?" Commander asked, dumbfounded. "Fallen King made it. He had made it before these four titans started causing trouble," Victorian Commander reported.

      Commander turned to Fallen King, who was watching him like a statue. "So," Commander started, "You make maps? You strategise? You know how to lead an army?" Commander questioned.

      Fallen King slowly nodded, not quite understanding where Commander was going with this. Commander scratched his chin before looking at the other three commanders, all them catching on.

      "Well I'll be damned. Show him around, we have a new commander," Commander ordered.

      "How come you get to be a commander? This is unfair!" Molten Boss complained as he poked at Fallen King's new suit. It resembled Victorian Commander, mostly because he was the one in charge of making such attire.

      Fallen King gently pushed the fire titan's hand away before he caught the new clothes on fire, "I told you map making is essential." Molten fumed as he remembered how he would pick at Fallen King for his excessive map making.

      The titans were currently hanging out in their makeshift quarters; a small airplane hanger. It could hold up to two small aircraft, but it was currently being used to hold up to seven titans. It was a bit cramped.

      However, Frost Spirit had made himself a hammock on top of the ceiling. His light weight could hold him up there, that meant more room on the ground.

      Raider would of also liked to bunk up there with Frost Spirit, but there wasn't any room for a second one. Besides, Frost Spirit molts during the warmer months, and they were coming. That meant they would wake up with feathers all around them.

      Good thing he was out stretching his wings. Sinister was napping in his corner, his sweatshirt and tank top thrown to the side. Nuclear Fallen King was scribbling in a notebook. Raider was messing around with a gadget a ranger gave to him and Void Reaver was standing by the door, looking out. It was peaceful.

      "Don't be trying to boss me around, got it?" Molten Boss pointed. "Why would I ever do that to you?" Fallen King questioned genuinely. Molten fumed again, "Because you're a commander!?"

      Fallen King shook his head, "I'm not bossing you around. You like to do that though." Molten Boss balled up his fists and nearly started screaming. A low growl from Void Reaver made them stop.

      The large void titan side eyed them for a second before continuing to stare outside. The two fueding titans stayed quiet for a moment. Void Reaver never did that, he usually just let them nip at eachother until it turned into mauling.

      "What do you think is wrong with him?" Molten Boss whispered to Fallen King. Fallen King shrugged, not knowing what was troubling the titan.

      Finger snaps had them turning their heads to Raider as he tried to sign what was wrong. The two titans watched in confusion as Raider attempted to tell them.

      Raider was mute. It wasn't known if by choice or not, but nobody could understand him unless he wrote it down. So after a minute of getting no where, Molten Boss had enough, "Does anyone have a pen and paper?" Raider face-palmed.
