Later when I'm woken up, because a whole cohort died due to a song sister. Its tragic and all that but.... I struggle to care. Its just the start of this useless and frankly foolish battle. Useless thats all this is frankly, nothing else. Its holding humanity back, the great clans and their need to control everything. I then just go back to sleep. I'm not in the mood to think about all of this.
"Okay okay so there was this big battle, real big. With like multiple titans. I me, by myself even killed a corrupted tyrant. Look i even got these cool as hell wings"
I get up turning around to show them off
"They can light themselves of fire too it is something to witness"
I turn back around sitting down
"Oh and this robe, its a transcendent memory too."
I lean back with a smug look
"I know its something else"
I then lean forward
"I'm being called the feral necromancer. Its... cool but try hard. Then again I'm now even more famous, working with both Valor and Song, i even personally know bloodwave. Even better i helped him kill a corrupted terror one time."
I wave my hand
"It's not just boasts kid, I really am just that famous."
Soon I end the recording and I send it off to rain. My smile slowly fades. Shes a good kid, I hope she stays mundane.
My chair spins to the door
"Hey Cassie, need something?"
She nods
"It seems Morgan would like to have that spar she mentioned"
I groan loudly
"She actually wants that? God damn it. Let's go then, she'd best pay me well."
I get up and we walk together. Soon we get to a large room in it is Morgan, she looks me up and down with a smile, its a little forced. I don't think she likes me much, good, i must remind her of prince considering I mimic how he moves to get valor to leave me alone. It works a little for song too. He's not that bad but still.
"Aw master heat seeker, i believe you said that if I pay you then I'll get a spar."
I nod waving my hand
"yes and I prefer it to be handsomely considering your rank"
I lift my halberd. I saw the clips, if i use ice to make a weapon it will get broken. Her hand went right through that armor sunny has or had, I remember sunny mentioning it turned into a attribute. Lucky fuck i want something like that! Anyways its time for another meaningless fight.
"Prepare well"
She's going to move. I barely duck to the side not being hit. She's too damn fast! Even with my power as a tyrant and heat sense to figure out smaller movements within her muscles I'm barely able to dodge.
I meet her blade with the handle of my halberd and then as she goes to attack again, this time with a sweep to the leg, I twist my halberd and I then let go of the halberd stepping back. She almost loses balance, almost. Her face for a second seems almost confused.
A arm made of ice grabs the handle of it and swings it down. She blocks it then jumps back as thin strings of ice tighten nearly cutting her. She slides back a smile thats slowly turning almost manic.
"Oh didn't we agree to only use our dormant and awakened abilities?"
I nod
"Yes and I have honored that. Not my fault you didn't know what that entailed"
She tilts her head
"That is definitely interesting. I really am glad, I haven't gotten any good sparing partners in some time, now three maybe even four."
I sour, very clearly it shows on my face as well
"I will never understand people like you"
I sit with a scowl as a valor healer works on my arm. She had gotten a nasty wound on my side. I look at Morgan who seems a little embarrassed
"I'd best get extra for this"
She nods
"Of course... you are very clear on the payment part"
I scoff loudly
"I get no thrill from fighting if you couldn't tell. Imagine someone asking you to do a boring task you don't like that will get you injured. Of course you'd want repayment for it."
She nods
"Yes it seems my impression of you from that battle was a little off. You did seem quite... barbaric in that battle against the corrupted tyrant."
I wave my non cut up arm
"If I wasn't the. It would fly away. That would mean I'd be fighting longer."
She does a part laugh part scoff
"So is that your logic on the matter?"
I twist and turn my new aspect legacy memory. I... I can't believe it really. An attribute, a echo, a... what was the vile blood anyways, now a actual memory. A divine memory of the first class. Problem is.... "what in the hell is this thing?" I twist and turn the box, like one for super fancy jewelry, fancy enough that only someone like morgan could own it. Its description did not give more insights
[When shadow god first made life, they did not have life quite like humanity. They still loved shadow god regardless and shadow god loved them right back. So shadow god made their queen a beautiful jewelry box]
I haven't opened it yet, it feels like a bad idea, nor have I put essence into it. Oh fuck it. I desummon it and I walk to sunny's room. I knock on the door
"Open up sun."
I hear shuffling then the door opens to a very tired and a little injured, i won't ask, sunny.
"What."
I push past him then I shut the door. I summon the creators gift and I shove it at him
"What do?"
He looks at it then his face goes even more pale and he whisper shouts at me
"I don't know, ■■■■ how in the hell did you get this?!"
I tap my foot
"Aspect legacy"
He grabs it inspecting it. With mutters like
"Damnation"
"Holy shit"
"What the fuck"
He soon gives it back
"It uh.... your able to put a citadel in it and move the citadel."
I blink at him
"I must agree. Holy shit"
"Dream realm dream realm"
Sunny blinks a few times then sighs and joins in on my stupid little chant. Cassie clearly tries not to snicker and neph stays mostly calm if a little amused. And soon we appear at the ivory island and
"Oh hey you two"
I jog over
"Guess what I got"
Effie looks at me
"Oh really what is it?"
I summon the creators gift and I toss it to kai. Effie would open it without a second thought
"Its a divine memory, i got it from my aspect legacy.... after falcon scott."
Kai looks up from studying it with a almost sad look then it gets taken by effie
"Oh shit what does it do?!"
I grin
"I can put a citadel in it and move the citadel around"
Effie gets up slinging a arm over my shoulder
"Let's be friends."
Sunny walks over
"I see that you're here... but why are you here?"
I kneel down then I pick up sunnys new little echo
"Heh"
I then slowly turn my head to sunnt snickering. I turn imp around making it not face me
"Hehehe"
It wiggles around not very happily
"You want to mess with him?"
The imp stops struggling and it turns its weird little head towards sunny. I lift it up and I run at him
"Hey- hey stop that!"
Sunny of course runs away. Effie laughs
"Why are you running? Its your echo!"
I hear kai start cracking up, cassie snorts quietly im not able to see nephs face.
"Stop it!"
I laugh loudly.
"-corpse eater, don't you think? And since those beetles were not exactly living things, the Spell attributed the kill to me. So, that was how I received a new Shadow."
The group stares at him in silence. Effie glances at kai to check if hes lying
"Wait, wait... so you're telling us that this Ravenous Fiend stalked you across all of the Antarctic Center, infiltrated a siege capital, and waited for weeks to ambush you at the worst possible moment? Since when are Nightmare Creatures that smart?"
I slam my cup down
"Are we going to ignore that sunny blew himself up!?"
I lean back
"That worried me to hell and back you idiot!"
Sunny gets a sheepish expression and he rubs the back of his neck
"Yeah... sorry about that....?"
The vacation comes to a end and I appear back in my government issued room. I have one at the song base, I had spent the time before the big battle there mostly, so I spent a ton of time here. Maybe I could invite jet to the ivory island. I think she'd like it, I mean what's not to like? It's very pretty i will admit that. Maybe, maybe we should get some weak dormant fish to put in the pond.
A... odd feeling came over me... I forgot something.... oh! Oh yeah, who's prince puppeting now? I had forgotten about that. I don't really care much, but one has to be prepared. Now i don't have many good candidates. Weirdly enough one of them was that guy i sleep punched but, i haven't seen nor felt his heat signature around so maybe he died.
