GHONIS - ESLESAY.
Swords clang... Two siblings trained by the bank of the beach of ESLESAY - Midgardian Point of Celestial Convergence.
"Watch out!" Dissare waylaid with a hit on Lorrd's ass taking advantage of his distraction and pinning him down with her sword. He got distracted by an approaching rider, his friend Argis coming to pay visit.
" You know that's on record already Lorrd, came just in time" Argis said laughing as he came down his horse.
" C'mon, nah c'mon, no excuses got it so I won't rant, come we are done here sis, let's return home" Lorrd said as they all got on separate horses riding back home, midway home, mid ground began to rumble, it was an earthquake, they all stopped as they watched the midground separate with dark 4 winged creatures rushing out from the crack, creatures with skin of steel and claws of fire, their screams loud as ever bleeds the ear and the 3 took on their horses and rode quickly back home but not without the awareness of the dark creatures who chased after them right back to their little village.
" Run!!! Run!!! " Lorrd screamed as they managed to make it back to the village which wasn't the smartest move. It was a day stuck as living memory for Lorrd the only survival of the massacre that unholy day, the creatures slaughtered the entire village, Lorrd managed to survive the massacre on his horse, he rode on his horse 'unbelievably' fast he lost the creatures and went beyond Eslesay into a neighboring city - Zola where he found the infamous Bar REFICUL, he remained there for the rest of the day.
3 COUNTS AGO.
It was during the chill of this evening the presence of Saguel moved over some of the fields of the first blood reaper, a shadow of herself and as it moved it went beyond the physical plane into the spiritual into the echoes where she altered the echoes right into darkness for that one soul. That one who had stolen from her a prize, a life, one of many she's owed and as such death won't separate such person from Saguel.
It was pure silence, emptiness, where a thought lasts forever and only an instant, there was no sense of reality or being, it was truly empty, yet he felt it down his imaginary skin for he was gone yet all he had was memories of feelings of his mortal life and it was exactly how he felt.
" What is this?, hmmm (he grunts), I can speak, the echoes is a moving silence but this is real. I am either beyond the echoes or alive, either way it must be done under an influence, someone has a charm on me"
Osiver brilliantly read out his odds for his sharp wits was his greatest tool as a renowned Dark dealer while he lived, wits that got him to play dare with forces he knows very well are beyond the boundaries of life and death but risks are non factor to one such as Osiver.
" From one mage's bossom you find yourself yet in another, did you think death was an escape from me, child"
Saguel made sound in that emptiness, the feeling of power, familiarity and control shook him, death wasn't what he wanted but staying away from Saguel was up there for him and now he remembers the terror of the mage he owed lives before his death.
" I am dead Saguel you can't kill me any further neither can you take anything from me" Osiver said, not even believing it himself, he was arrogant that much but Saguel remained silent as a hand came out of the darkness picking him up and placing him in a point between life and death, he felt the pull of two infinite conceptual forces. Life and death, he felt the memories and opportunities of Life simultaneously feeling the very cold sensation of death. He wanted life again and pleaded mercy from such existential torment and he was shown Mercy for with a thought Saguel altered one of the forces at play, making one infinity dominate the other, life, she returned Osiver to life on one of the many fields of the primal beast. Saguel appeared to him on that field.
" This life,this form, it's all mine Osiver, and what was owed of me shall be repayed. You have been taken out of darkness into life as a SAGYRE - Void Reaper. With the tongue of death powered by the darkest tempest, the void which you were brought out of. With this power you shall reap entire worlds to me, entire stars and entire galaxies for the darkest one." Saguel said as Osiver watched his form transform into a being of darkness and power. He felt the darkness of the entire universe flow through him.
" Harrell daughter of Sorroh, your niece. She managed an escape from me, I underestimated her but you shall bring her unto death and then she shall find no place to hide from the reach of the darkest one." Saguel said and Osiver had no choice but to heed and bring his own Niece unto death.
NOW.
GHONIS, ZOLA - BAR REFICUL.
Harrell had travelled all the way from Saguel Community in a carriage right into the most famous Bar in all the realm, situated at the heart of a very beautiful and flirty garden, she was relieved on seeing it, she went in, with the device she took from Saguel, exhausted from her travel and was very famished, she walked into the garden and towards a Doo Tree which produces some of the tastiest multi-fruits in the realm. She felt the presence of something else with her, it was a very unusual feeling for her, she was about eating the fruit but she stopped, she looked around, observing, she had been on a long streak of badlucks with people and even family, she would question the slightest feeling of weird that crosses her senses but this wasn't a weird feeling, it was unusual but objectively familiar, she was beginning to feel Aroused, tempted beyond control to walk into the Bar. On the entrance she was welcomed by the Bar Attendant - LIALEB. He welcomed her into the Bar but on seeing him she for a second fought against whatever has come upon her and tried asking questions.
"What's going on?. I.... " Harrell stuters.
"Relax child, my name is LIALEB the attendant of this Bar you are about to enter, hesitate not for the feeling only gets explosively better when one makes it through the door." He said to her.
" I need to eat something, I was about eating something and the next thing I am on my way here? " Nancy
" The Bar calls to those willing to go in, after eating you wanted to use one of the rooms of the Bar so why the hesitation....ahhh I see" LIALEB said on reading her thoughts for he was no ordinary attendant. He was a living spirit.
" You see what?" Harrell
" I won't tell you Saguel won't touch you in the Bar, even though she can't but I'll tell you, there's absolutely no need walking into the Bar with such a powerful Artifact like the Opicle. You have heard about the bar don't let your recent experiences derail you from your peace. You deserve it after escaping death" LIALEB.
" You are a sage?" She asked
" The high Mage REFICUL made this bar for pleasure my dear, I am the spirit of the bar, a fraction of the entity REFICUL represents, I am pleasure, I am him or her or whatever you want me to be, I am magic, I am comfort and you have come before me so I extend my being as a form of service to you, please come inside" Lialeb said but Nancy's had enough of magic for the week, she turned back running away even dropping the Opicle behind her. Lialeb could see her suffering, could see her frustration, now she trusts no one but this is Midgard and she has to trust someone especially now the eyes of the dark one is upon the realm again. Lialeb was an idea, a spirit of satisfaction, he can exist in multiple places, inside and outside the Bar, Nancy needed him and so he followed her to a neighbouring village where she ran to and was by a lake drinking of it. She was now relaxed and calm and as she drank she found eyes open up in the water, she gasped! Moving out of the spot where she sat close to the lake, she got up immediately and Lialeb came out of the water as a serpent and then a man once out of the water.
" You must be wondering why Saguel took you and killed your brother...you've been through soo much pain than any one person should bear, I cannot just ignore you Harrell, let me help you. " Lialeb
" The dark one has eyes on Midgard now and his most trusted agent is coming for me, then there is no place for me to hide, I'll be killed eventually, if you are also here to do it...then do it...I am tired already" Harrell said as she began to sob. Lialeb waves his hand across the air, making all kinds of fruits and food and wine for her to eat.
" What do you know about the plane of existence called The echoes?" He asked her but she didn't answer, she stopped crying and digged into the food.
" When we die, the soul moves onto the echoes, the first plane of the afterlife, conceptually, the echoes is just the sound of life that reflects upon the surfaces of reality itself, these reflections are gathered into one plane the echoes where the soul must journey through as some abstract sound before going deeper into the mystery, beyond where no magic or power can return.... I can't bring back your brother or your parents but I can make you speak with them again.... Your mom, I can make her manifest on this plane, as an echo and nothing else.... She is long gone beyond the echoes but the echoes move Nancy, it goes and it remains" He said as a brilliant light shone in the middle of the air before Harrell and she saw a person form out of it. It was Millia Daughter of Horgg and Mother to Harrell.
" Harrell!" Millia called out to her daughter seeing her eat so hungry and broken. Harrell couldn't believe her eyes, she stood up slowly to her mother, for a moment she thought she was alive again cause she never really listened to what Lialeb explained to realize she is but the reflection of the life Millia once lived.
" Mother!, mother!!" Harrell cried out again, Naturally, physical contact should be impossible but Lialeb granted her that comfort by coating her with a form and they both hugged and sobbed.
" Why are you crying baby girl, look at you, so grown now, what's going on." Millia asked cleaning off the tears from her daughter's eyes. Lialeb smiled in joy seeing Harrell comfortable around someone finally. They continued discussing but there was a disturbance in the air...one Lialeb felt around, it was coming for Nancy, in a thought process a hand ripped through Millia's chest and all the blood splashed on Harrell, destroying Millia conceptually as an echoe, the skeletal hand grabbed Harrell by the neck as its face was revealed...it was Osiver's, the Sagyre.
" A void reaper!"Lialeb said immediately blasting it off Harrell with a thunderous bolt of energy that sent it flying but it teleported mid air. The skies across all of Ghonis darkened for the void reaper has come for Harrell....TO BE CONTINUED.
