"Since you have stepped on the road to become my avatar, I would impart some knowledge of the past. The Artifact you have is called the Embodiment of Suffering and is part of the 5 piece set of the Plaguebringer used by my avatar during the war against the Dragonkin, after the war ended the items were seal and the previous owner move on into my realm. Once the set is complete it would provide the owner with some divine power using my divinity over poison and diseases. A few years after the war against the dragons, Odos allied himself with other so called good alignment G.o.ds and they issued a command to kill and steal all their enemies legendary sets in order to weaken our hold on the realm. They would have succeeded if it wasn"t for the fact that Elysians have free will and more than half didn"t answer the call so we were able to retaliate. A lot of items were stolen but as far as I know they didn"t manage to get a full set"."The embodiment of suffering looks like a ring but that is the shape the previous owner gave it. It can take the shape of any accessory you want from a neck piece to an ankle bracelet. I have unlocked this function of the piece but everything else will remain seal until you reach the Abyss. If you managed to make it there It would be yours to wield but until then I can"t afford to have it stolen in the unseal form"
Elune placed the item close to her ankle and it became a really beautiful bracelet, even though it remained seal, she could still feel that her aura became even darker and her intuition told her all spells of the poison and disease branch would be strengthen. Without knowing how much time had lapsed Elune walked out of the room to find a lot of noise coming from the top floors. When she reached the main floor alongside Midori, she found out that the Awakening Ceremony had already started and Rahz and Ridd.i.c.k were waving for her to come over.
Amber and Tom were at the front watching their little girl choose her G.o.d and her path with smiles that went from ear to ear. Emma looked around before it was her turn and she was a little nervous but when she saw Rahz and the others cheering her on she calm down and got ready for her prayer.
"Oh great G.o.ds of creation, please grant me the ability to help the people in need. I would like to follow the path of the healer and Cure all the diseases of the world".
Whoosh.. Whoosh.. Whoosh
Three columns came down, The G.o.d of Justice, The G.o.d of Valor and a very gentle light from Xeralis the G.o.ddess of nature. Emma debate for a second and was deeply attracted to the gentle nature of Xeralis, it just felt like mother Earth was calling her. The moment she stepped into the light for a very split second a killing intent was release from a dark corner of the temple, unfortunately n.o.body was able to catch it. Out of the 15 kids that awaken during the ceremony 6 got accepted by the G.o.d of Justice but refused the offer. As they were leaving, Rahz b.u.mped into an individual that didn"t even apologized and just left in a hurry, somehow Rahz felt it was the aura and silhouette of a person he had seen before but he couldn"t place it. After a nice dinner with Emma and her family, the team said goodbye and quickly left towards the South entrance to the town before leaving Naas and heading towards the forest they had hunted many times before. The scouts left after the team and met with a mishap halfway through their journey as a 20 ft Basilisk pop up from the earth and devour half a scout before using poison breath on the second one.
It all happened so fast, they didn"t have a chance to retaliate. With the people shadowing broken in two,literally, the team made their way 30 miles away from the town to a highly populated area. Elune gave Ridd.i.c.k his portion of the Dragonkin blood and they all started running away from the spot.
Ridd.i.c.k waited until his connection to Rahz was diminished enough signifying they were at a safe distance and drank the contents of the crystal flask. Ridd.i.c.k was different from Rahz and Midori. His Chaos Body was from the Val"gun bloodline and the little bit of dragon blood didn"t get a chance to do anything before it was converted to energy, the taste of it however made Ridd.i.c.k think that anything he had tasted before including Rahz"s barbecue was garbage on the side of the road. As Ridd.i.c.k was licking the bowl trying to get just one more drop of that wonderful nectar his body was push towards the second Evolution.
Dark clouds started gathering towards Ridd.i.c.k"s location with lightning and thunder reverberating through. Ridd.i.c.k was encase in a dome of chaos fire that pulsated at the rhythm of his heart.
Doom.. Doom... Doom
With every heartbeat the dome grew large and larger, a few lightning bolts felt on it but they just got consume and converted into energy. Trees, water, creatures, everything melted and was consume. Bird groups quickly flew away in panic but the slow ones got melted and used as fuel. Rahz and the others decided to be safe and move to the third mile line as they could see the Chaos Sphere turning from Purple to Blue to Purple and coming their way.
Igor was crying tears of joy as it reminded him of Ridd.i.c.ks" father Evolution. The dome expanded to the two mile radius and finally stopped, then it started contracting at a fast pace while all the energy went inside Ridd.i.c.ks body that expanded at the same rate. The two legs became four and a tail sprung out as Ridd.i.c.k"s size double then triple stopping at around 15 ft. The top part of the body was still a humanoid with a reptilian face in nature but with human features. His jaw was now wider and his rows of purple teeth increase by one while the childish face became more like a teenagers. The Bottom half of his body was similar to the body of a brachiosaurus, the only difference was the deep purple color of his skin. The fire crown on his head now took a more bluish tone but the main issue was Ridd.i.c.k"s weight, It was insane.
Ridd.i.c.k had to use Chaos Rush to get out of the pit made by his evolution and when he reach the outside of the pit, the edge crumble under his weight and he almost drop back down. When he met with his friends once more, they almost couldn"t recognized him as he was so tiny before. Elune was the smallest now and look like an ant to Ridd.i.c.k.
Ridd.i.c.k look at Rahz, and Rahz looked at Ridd.i.c.k while only the sound of the wind could be heard. Ridd.i.c.k was extremely nervous because he didn"t know what his Kin will think about his changes.
Rahz finally open his mouth and said, "Can.. Can I ride on your back"
Everyone almost cough up blood except for Ridd.i.c.k that smiled from ear to ear before hugging Rahz and placing him on his dino back.
"Yay, you look awesome buddy, I bet you could crush that town"s defensive wall with ease, Let"s go hunting and get some food, you probably can eat a h.e.l.l of a lot more".
Elune shook her head and with a smile said, "You and Ridd.i.c.k go hunt and bring dinner while Midori guards the area and I make the mini leveling candy". The floor shook a little while Ridd.i.c.k left with Rahz sitting on his back, and then it trembled when Rahz asked him to speed up.
The duo chase after herds until the hours of the night and came back home with 10 corpses of Greater Kudus that Rahz was happy to BBQ fo his best friends. Elune had finished her pills in the afternoon and ate dinner before taken the first one entering a trance. Since Midori had guard duty all day Rahz took the first shift and Ridd.i.c.k try to sleep in his new form.
During the 2 weeks it took Elune to reach Level 19, a few adventurer groups came to inspect the disturbance cause by Ridd.i.c.k but all that was left was a big crater with no living creature in sight, with no much to go on they had to go back empty handed and just report what they have seen.
