At the edge of the forest, Ludos cracked his eyes, to immediately jump back away from the dreaded flame skeleton. Turning to the side, he glanced at the sisters, "I obtained an arcane rune, and somehow mana gathered around it," he uttered loudly, within ear-piercing thunder and harsh tempest.Seeing their nod of delight, he joined the sisters on their anxious standstill, for Rais to step out, to rejoice together. The chilly downpour invited by the deepening night; while the eye of the storm advanced, with the second ensuing onslaught looming closer, closer.
"What happened to Rais, why is he still standing there," Lodos asked, seeing the skeleton staring at Rais in confusion.
"I don"t know; the ceremony never takes this long," Mursina"s tightly gripped her staff eyeing someone landing next to her. Looking at the figure, her pupil dilated while she instinctively bowed to her.
A st.u.r.dy hand patted her head, while the storm raged towards the forest, just that the rain no longer reached the ground.
Faraway, within the same forest, helpless Rais plunged towards the abyssal eye in utter despair. Rais felt the time slowed as he maniacally attempted to hold on to the side of the abyss. His fingers torn as some fell with him, others hung digging at the wall. His legs bitten and torn by shadow roots, dragging him into the chasm.
Through the tiny window, noticing a light root approaching him, he furiously bit on to it. He stared at the cruel eye, shivering, merely biting on to the last hope.
Instantly, more divine roots approached him grasping him, preventing him from being swallowed by the abyss, while battling the shadowy equivalent.
An urgent yet caring voice sounded within his head, "tiny baby, I will protect you from that evil eye. While I will resist it, you try to climb up. Listen carefully since that thing seems extremely powerful."
"Your death is nearing, but you possess a hidden power that can overturn this. Tear apart the three sealing objects placed on you. Break those shackles to fight the darkness, and you will be able to climb up. Don"t be afraid as it brings you power. I will destroy the curse that binds you and finish it for you once and for all. As a divine existence, I avoid interfering in the worldly matter, but I can"t let you die when under my eyes. I dare not dishonor my father and The Forest G.o.d."
"f.u.c.k you, are you a humble one or divine existence?" A hateful, roaring voice finally left Rais.
After hearing the first few lines, Rais had nodded, but he would never go against what his mother urged him to avoid, even if he dies here.
Then, he heard dragging sound of chains, while the voice adviced him once again, telling him to drop into the abyssal eye. As Rais touch it, he realized it was an illusion attack from abnormally far away world, he had to resist it.
Giving him hope to live, at the most desperate of times to exploit him. Reaching out as a friend to soften his guard.
When the shadows from the eye entered his head, he tried to resist with a dominant aura seeping out of his body. Desolate, deprived of life, he saw coc.o.o.ns hanging from an enormous devilish tree. He saw ghastly hands reaching for him from within the chrysalides.
Without responding, he closed his eyes, appearing within a desolate land, unable to move, as he destroyed himself, slowly progressing with his familiar visions.
"Something dares resist me? Fine, still the same result."

Breaking out of the illusion by entering into his vision, Rais vanished from the illusionary abyss. Standing in front of the divine tree while once again asking to transfer his consciousness back to his body.
Rais opened his eyes to see his mom land next to Mursina with a smile, but it immediately vanished, the rain stopped falling, as the skeleton next to him attacked him. He once again saw the abyss below him. Although an unknown light moved him away, the attack successfully cut his red necklace and the braslate and bell made of magenta stone powders.
Severely injured he fell in the murky water. Seeing the three curse sealing objects falling, he smiled, thinking it was his last. He tried to live, but he failed.
