Path of Totality; A TDS Eclipse Event Story

🌘Chapter 18🌒

      While everyone else seemed calm about this, Molten Boss was fuming. "How are you guys so calm about this? Gravedigger is back and you're just sitting on him!"

      Sinister nudged at Fallen King, "Great, the towers have Commander and we got Molten Boss." Molten Boss hissed and flared up, "Silence! Don't you dare compare to such a pitiful tower!"

      "I've said it to Commander and I'll say it to you, he isn't Gravedigger or Scout," Swordmaster growled, getting annoyed about having to say it over and over again.

      "Yeah, but what if... Gravescout?" Sinister suggested, believing it was a pretty good combination. He yelped as a sword landed near his foot, which he moved away from in time. "That's literally both their names but put together, that's idiotic," Swordmaster snarled.

      Sinister crossed his arms, "Well, what should we call him?" Swordmaster opened his mouth to answer, but quickly shut it as he began to ponder on what they could call the new titan.

      "It seems the name choice is not bad. It's a great to honor both of them," Frost Spirit fluttered down from his hammock and stalked over. Swordmaster tried his best to think of literally any other name choice, but the others were already adopting it. The void titan groaned in anger as he lost the name battle.

      "What a wonderful name choice, but he will not calm down," Void Reaver reminded them of the screaming and squirming titan. It was loud, but mostly annoying at this point. He had been trying to escape for a good while, but Void Reaver was keeping him held down.

      The others were trying to think about how they were going to go about this. "Hey, how did you deal with Gravedigger?" Sinister began to hound Molten Boss and Fallen King for answers.

      "As if we know! Gravedigger was timid and shy when we found him! This thing is literally the opposite!" Molten Boss sneered as he watched Gravescout wiggle around in a desperate attempt to escape.

      "Perhaps he just needs some reassurance," Frost Spirit suggested as he was the first one, besides Void Reaver, to go near the wailing titan. He crouched near him, shuffling up bit by bit as he held out his hand, "Hello there. It's okay, you don't need to be afraid."

      Swordmaster quickly went over and pulled his hand away, "Don't do that, he has a bite strong enough to grind bone to a paste." Frost Spirit grimaced and kept his hands very close to him as he shuffled away.

      Gravescout screamed up at them, still refusing to give up the tantrum. "Perhaps someone not made of soft flesh should attempt that," Fallen King mused as he walked over, flexing his black granite finger joints. Taking over Frost Spirit's spot, he held out his hand.

      "Hello... Gravescout. Welcome to this world, even if we're about to go to war," Fallen King did his best to greet him, but it was futile. Gravescout snapped his jaws forward and clamped around the finger joints, gnawing at them.

      It didn't bother Fallen King, but it did bother him how Gravescout wasn't detoured by it and kepting chewing at them without making no more then a few scratches.

      "I should go next," Molten Boss grinned, but was smacked upside the head by Swordmaster for such a stupid suggestion. However, the longer Gravescout kept trying to chew the granite hand away, the more calm he got.

      Fallen King took notice of it and let him keep chewing. That's when a fond memory popped up. "It seems there is a bit of Gravedigger here after all. He loved to chew on metal support beams of broken buildings."

      Molten Boss looked up and saw it too, that same memory coming up. "Well, you better be careful or granite is gonna be his favorite thing to chew on," Molten Boss warned. Fallen King quickly tried to pull his hand away, but Gravescout clamped down and gripped his hands on his wrists.
