AFK Arena (Video Game)

It’d been almost two decades since he’d gotten the parasite under control when Fawkes felt it pull at his consciousness again.He was sitting at a tavern with Raine and Mirael after a long day’s work and earning enough to have a smooth couple of months without a problem. The air was one of celebration, camaraderie, and cheerful music that everyone in the tavern seemed to know the lyrics of. Fawkes himself preferred quieter spaces, but he didn’t mind indulging his travel partners’ extroversion once in a while. He even found himself humming to the melody of the song, when he felt it.It was an indistinct whisper that he knew no one could hear but himself, as it came from within him. He’d always located it at the back of his head, near the base of his skull. His eyes darted from his whiskey to his left hand; he had his gloves on and his sleeves rolled back, as usual, and his hand didn’t make any movement without his command. But he could swear he could feel it pulse.
