questionable idea for short story
I am currently writing a continuation connection to Extinction. I can't tell you the name of it, but it is about 53 pages and 16,000 words at the moment. I just finished 1/3rd of the story. Anyway, this one is a part of a 3 part sub-series. the following point is the idea to start the next story, without further ado.
Russia, 2078
unknown location
pain.
pain,
stabbing pain.
SLAP!
H woke with a start.
"the hell? Shali why did..."
CREEK!!
h looked up to see the structure about to cave down on them. he looked at Shali she looked terrified she was struggling to close a wound in him.
"Shali, strop, no STOP."
she stopped dabbing the blood. looking at him.
"is no good. there to much damage."
silence.
"Shali do you remember when I came for Christmas that first time you were so attached to lis i thought you had been part of her."
Shali laughed.
h took her close.
"Remember the good times and all the greatness you will have in the future."
"H, i..."
he grabbed her and pushed her hard she stumbled away and close to a rope. she grabbed it to stop her fall but that small little tug started to bring it up she disappeared just as the rest of the structure fell on H.
"SIR!"
"BLAUGH!"
H looked he around he was almost dead.
"so I guess this is the end?"
h looked up to see the head of a dog.
"our of you form Anubis, is it time."
"I think it is, I know you ready, you always have been."
"Hurmph. of course."
H's body racked with coughs and blood poured out of his various wounds.
"do you remember that note we found?"
"I do, and H it was so weird it was not a langue I knew but could still read it."
"I know Anubis, but it was so interesting. I wish we could have solved that before I went o...v.......e.......r."
the light faded from H's eyes silencing for good.
"I'm sorry my friend I wish we could have..."
light started to shine around the 2 of them and without warning there was a massive CRACK, as both of them disappeared from the structure the only thing left behind was blood galore.

"aurgh. I feel like shit."
Anubis sat up from wherever he was he placed his veil over himself to hide his face.
"but. where the hell am I?"
there were no defining features around him here was he. anubis got up only to stop dead. he has half of the way up when he had turned to see.
"H?"
he went over and found H was barely breathing.
"Anubis stood to his full height then leaned down and got H onto his back securing him on his back with his arm around H's legs."
with h secured he took to the air. floating up into the clouds, he saw a building in the distance everything else was blackened out. something was calling him there. so he started to fly there. landing just in front of the structure. and relaing it was holy land he could not go any further. but luck was with him as he saw a priest walk out. As it was morning he saw. no masons working yet.
priest Lenx was a unique priest he had the most connection to the bishop and even though Notre Dame was incomplete it was still nice to be inside. he was heading out to take to the market when he came upon a man standing outside and looking up at him the man kneeled and let his cargo which was a man gently fall to the ground he stood up. and in a deep voice that boomed. he spoke.
"Please take care of him, priest, I need him alive. Fate brought us here. and I will not see him die. take care of him for I can not as I am not worthy of your holy ground."
as the tall being was speaking the presist followed his hand to where it lay the man inside the cathedral domain, only to see the being's hand start to burn when it crossed the barrier.
Then Lenx looked back just to see the being jump way on to the buildings far away.
looking down he rushed over calling for the Dame guards. a contingent came rushing over helping the priest carry the body in. A body so close to death that one would think it was dead.
"I will be back my friend, I will be back."
Anubis spoke whale clutching his flesh-burned hand.
"I will find out why we were sent here and why."
