"God Almighty!"
Berserker bolted upright from his relaxed position on the grass. His hair had fallen all around his face, making it seem as if he had been sleeping on a luxurious pillow.
"What was that?" he said, to no one in particular.
(מה נהיתה)
His life had ended with a bang, and apparently a bang was what revived him. Or something. He wasn't really sure; there was all sorts of things flooding into his mind about "grails" and "servants" but the one thing he felt comfortable with was his native tongue. As much as he had enjoyed his time with the Philistines, their dialect was a bit grating to his ears.
Something about lateral affricates.... he wasn't sure. Linguistics was never his strong suit, no matter how much he enjoyed tonguing.
Heh. Tonguing. God, Sammy, you've still got it.
Now, let's see where we are.
He touched his hair.
Check, gorgeous, flowing locks as always. Wonder if there are women nearby... God, it's good to be in flesh again.
His leg ached a bit, making him desperately crave some willow balm. Maybe from Gilead, he had heard good things about their stuff.
He decided to stop focusing on his own body, glorious as it was, and take in his surroundings a bit better.
He saw a decidedly strange cast of characters.
One man grovelling at the feet of another, blushing like a virgin priestess of Anat. Lord knows he had made the acquaintance of a couple of those in his day.
The man on the receiving end was almost sheepish, but Berserker felt he must enjoy the flattery. Who wouldn't? Still, he decided to write the pair off for now. They did seem strong, though; they were probably some of his fellow "servants."
What a strange word.
Were they more like עבדאי or פלחני? And if they were Servants, who was their Master?
Then there was the weird dude who kept repeating some nonsense string of words over and over again. Was he some sort of priest? Berserker missed the days when priests would busy themselves with slaughtering sacrifices and carrying the carcasses to be burnt. Those were real men, strong as the oxen they carried.
This guy seemed like a small fart could blow him over.
Remember, Sammy... RESERVE JUDGMENT, RESERVE JUDGMENT. Not everyone who looks ridiculous is in fact so...
Though it won't stop you from amusing yourself with them.
Some of these men seemed to have summoned heavenly automata, like the famous Chariots. Well, they had, until one of the smaller Ophanim-like vehicles had crashed. Or so he guessed. It was enough to sicken him, but maybe this was the least of their power. Maybe.
...Well, upon further reflection, they probably would not have appeared with me had God not deemed them my equals. They must have something to offer, some reason they were made to be blessed with my presence. Some virtue.
Speaking of.
Who is this incredibly beautiful girl? Perhaps she has an older sister.
Berserker turned his head to face the white-skinned maiden standing before him, seemingly serene despite the explosion several minutes before. @Sidereal
"Hello, incredibly beautiful girl," he waved. "Who are you, where are you from, and do you have an older sister?"
