Bloody Oath (System Apocalypse: Australia #3)

13 Weeks Post System Onset
11pm

Wombat armor plating hurts like buggery when you slide down it. I knew this well from experience and picked myself up off the ground after yet another tumble from her back. The burning sensation from the cheek abrasion slowly dulled as I look at the massive creature.

Even though the walls behind her stood around fifteen feet tall as they helped secure the perimeter of the settlement, her sheer size made them appear smaller. The expression on her face seemed contrite, like she hadn’t wanted to hurt me. I patted her flank and murmured “It’s okay. The good old System already took the pain away.”

Some of the tension leaked out of Mumma’s body. I didn’t lie; my own pain was already receding, and I knew in ten minutes the injury would be but a memory.

Still . . . if I wasn’t careful, there was a distinct possibility that I could fall and break my neck next time, and if I severed my spinal cord—well, there was no coming back from that sort of injury. System or no System.

Damn it. Maybe riding her into battle was just a pipe dream.

Fantastic. I played with the fur on Mumma Wombutt’s flank as I waited for the next popup I knew was coming.

Congratulations! You have been granted a follow up quest.

Keep up the good work

That’s it. Nothing else. It is just a bonus quest.

I pushed my black hair out of my eyes and glanced up at Mumma, who regarded me with one massive and solemn brown eye as the gate loomed up behind her. Maybe she could see the damned quests too. I didn’t have the head space for this right now.

“Yeah, girl. I know. It’s late.”

She gently puffed out a breath at me, making it cloud up in the cool night air. Crickets chirped somewhere close enough for us to hear, and for a moment I wondered how big they were now. If I hadn’t been standing next to a giant mutated wombat trying to train her to be my combat partner, it might have been a regular night pre-apocalypse.
