E-emperors? As in, like the Earth Elemental Emperor? Two more survivors of our former demigods are standing before us?
“Yothmlak” started to slowly walk around us in a circle, inspecting their arms and wings like an art appreciator.
“Beautiful, isn’t it? Composite elements are always so difficult to create unless one is born with that talent, but we guess it has gotten much easier with the descent of the invaders. Introducing their otherworldly control of mana to create a creation like the Divine System… Ahem, is such a display from the invaders not so brilliant?” the two emperors declared as they suddenly shifted back to the same personality they had disguised themselves with as Yothmlak. “Though, I guess we should be thankful. With the System, we wouldn’t have been able to obtain such a body. Witness it; real enough to fool you two.”
The scales attached to the two elementals’ bodies broke off, calling onto the cold ground with the ringing sound of solid metal, revealing a draconic body made entirely from ice. They then shot up, attaching themselves back to the body with millions of little slicing sounds as they cut through the air to return from where they fell.
“Creating a body from another element is quite difficult, mind you, little fae. Neither of us are ingrained with that knowledge, after all, but it certainly was helpful that our friend, the previous Ice Elemental King, was so accommodating of us as we stayed here in permanent exile.” The smirk on the elementals faded as a more forlorn look gazed down their hand before they finally placed it back on the ground. “Controlling the dragon scales was far easier with the wind and water mana ingrained in them. Simply empower them as the wind beckons, and they—”
The scales molted their outer layer before they were shot at the wall, penetrating the hardened ice walls with ease.
“—are shot at such a speed that they can even catch up to that impeccable speed, Stain. If the Wind Elemental Emperor were still in their prime, you certainly would have been invited to our races. You would have been someone our kin would have loved to race against, before a greater wind elemental catches a fancy and willingly contracts with you. Ah, but those times are gone. Non-faemancers wouldn’t understand it, I presume.” The elemental gave us an anticipating look, but before either of us could answer, the elementals shook their head. “Our time has passed. Neither are we worthy of the title of primarch, nor are we even kings. Mere greaters with our divinity and mana usurped.”
“So even as ‘Yothmlak,’ when you first met us, this was the plan, right?” Vifi spat out, still keeping herself in front of me as if she was ordered to protect me. “Luring us into this place with that core.”
S-she spoke first again… S-so this is the reason why? I grit my teeth as I finally understood why I always felt weird around “Yothmlak.” Now that I look back at it, wasn’t this presence similar in a way when we first found the Ice Elemental King? That same feeling of… being just a small fae?
Regardless of my own worries, the elementals stared at the ceiling, scratching their chin before they turned back to us, showing us a smile as we didn’t take the obvious bait to flee. “… No.”
“What?” Vifi and I both stared at the false-dragon in bafflement, causing them to let out a boisterous laugh so unfitting for that same Yothmlak we came to know.
“Surely? You have a fae next to you, and truly believe we would think this plan to such an extent? Fie on you, Stain! You have spent so much time with those ice elementals, but it seems you haven’t really understood anything about them…” Their joyous facade quickly faded as their green and blue eyes started to shine with their aura spreading inside this chamber. “Though, what could I have expected from filth from the other world. Uncaring about the balance of a world, invading it despite our pleas… Tainting Peolynca’s mana with their… haaaa, divine blemishes that none of us could have fathomed to exist!”
The elementals’ claws dug into the ground, digging up some of the hard ice.
“So, no; the plan was never to bring you both here. The promise we gave the Ice Elemental King was that for my refuge here, we would let our last remnants of mana flood the rivers of Frozen Nest, filling its water with mana so pure that… an ice elemental emperor might be born.” The elementals stared at the spire.
… So that’s how the peaks had gained such a reputation. I guess the books hadn’t begun talking about it a few centuries after the Kargryxian civil war.
“Only when that plan failed, sabotaged by the betrayal of a dragon, did the previous king finally relent.” The elemental’s eyes drifted over to the corpse of Yothmlak, frozen in place in the iceberg.
I could see the body completely stripped of any scales and carapace, leaving the once mighty dragon without even his pride—those very scales which had kept him alive for so many years. Surprisingly, the real Yothmlak was a bit larger than the already titanic body the elemental had created, although that would explain how it was able to create such a body when I could still hear the noise upstairs.
Prince Nongramos was probably still fighting the false dragon. We could afford to stall the elemental further by having them continue speaking. If what they showed us on the surface was a fraction of their powers to keep up their disguise as Yothmlak, then now that they didn’t have to hide their control over wind and water as two of Peolynca’s former primarchs, our circumstances might have just gotten worse.
Not to mention, since Prince Nongramos didn’t see us enter the glacier through this path, he wouldn’t be able to locate us even after he won his battle. [Detection Sensor] wouldn’t be able to find us, as we would be one of many signals. He would have to sniff us out… detect Vifi’s lingering mana when she used her voltaic lightning to get us here.
“And that is how you formed this new goal. With Tasianna in… I see, when you first saw us. When we first journeyed to the glaciers,” Vifi stated.
“Yes… those wyverns. With the great betrayal of Yothmlak, forcing the previous king to slay the dragon with my help, I have nurtured the wrath some of the elementals felt for the decline of their king. Some joined in my pursuit as I managed to gather beasts unwilling to maintain the status quo of being mere ‘hunting prey’ for these arrogant dragons, having forgotten our old pact. Our old friendship with Thalaxarus, and the gift he received to become a true ice wielder,” the elemental continued, with far more vigor than before as they stomped Yothmlak’s frozen “coffin.” “The warning we received from that alchemist became true, and that seed of distrust sprouted into this dragon hunt. All the dragonkin must suffer; to remind them of their betrayal and the consequence of breaking bonds.”
Alchemist?
“The beasts were tempered and taught by our new friend, and we received more of the blood that denies the gifts of the dragons! Their mighty scales fell before their own kin’s blood, dissolving the mana keeping them so haughty, revealing how vulnerable they truly are without the gifts they were born with,” the elementals declared as they tapped on a spot on the iceberg coffin, pointing at the patch of blood smeared around Yothmlak’s chest—his heart. “True ice… the power he sought was turned on him. His greed knew now bounds; he saw no fault in his action! He only sought power, and this is where he will remain.”
The elemental then pointed at us, slowly walking forward as they glared at us before turning to the core behind me. “All we wanted was to kill those wyverns and take back our dominion of these glaciers, but what the ice elemental king found was something far more valuable. A fae who is able to wield true ice. Albeit, clumsily, as your body rejects the mana like poison, but that was all we needed. Once the core is bound to you, you will have an eternity to meld with it. You will become the ice elemental king, Tasianna… and we will protect you as you gain that title. All we ask is that you allow us to stay with you, so that we may harness some of that divine mana we had lost in the past. Help us, and you will gain the powers you wished for when you first arrived.”
“My allegiance remains with Princess Hestia,” I stated, firmly. Considering Vifi hadn’t acted yet, it seemed we would still have to delay things. As such, Vifi kept moving, leading me away from the elementals.
“Ah, yes. The drivel you kept repeating over and over, again. Then again, I guess you might have been correct with her survival, considering her brother is somehow speaking about her. His monologuing is starting to tire me,” the elemental said, confirming the noise above. It also confirmed that the elemental had control over that other false Yothmlak body. “… Though, were the two of you waiting for him to appear? Banish that foolish thought, as the entire glacier is in the know. Every elemental—even those you traveled with—has been ordered by me to ‘protect their new king from the dragon.’”
“W-what do you mean by that?” I stumbled as I thought of Elk and Burrower, not to mention the countless smaller elementals who had accompanied and… danced and sang with us.
“The dragon prince is starting to understand that somebody more capable of manipulating the wind mana was around. Not to mention, using his flame breaths at the glacial peak—where ice mana is so saturated—will only lower his mana reserves. A horde of ice elementals await him; every greater and lesser elemental will gladly fight and perish for the coronation of their new king! Of the one who will make their dreams come true—you!”
“Y-you can’t—” I snapped as the memories I made with the elementals flashed before me. The many lesser and normal elementals who were too naive or childish to ruminate on their actions and what consequence they would deliver—they would gladly fight if an order came, and they wouldn’t think worse of it! … Just like us fairies. We would believe anything as long as it came from somebody older or more experienced.
I wanted to cry out so desperately, chastising these former emperors for their callous action against their own kind, but I was stopped. Vifi had started talking to me telepathically.
[“They will notice the silence, so start grimacing. Make them think you are trying to keep your tongue!”] she ordered, reminding me once again of our first meeting with “Yothmlak.” As such, I did just that, but none of it was acting, as I could feel my very being wanting to explode for not voicing my opinion of the two former emperors.
“Let it go, Tasianna. Being free with your emotions is our privilege as fae—as rulers of elementals!” the elementals stated, continuing in their attempt to win me over.
Yet, my focus was solely reserved for Vifi.
[“I found it. The last of the memento Donut is supposed to get for that big dragon above,”] she said as she sent me what she saw on the Yothmlak’s head, enshrined in place with the ice. [“A bundle of white, blue, cyan scales. And from them, I can feel lingering demonic energy.”]
There, right there. A silver string in the form of a snake kept a bundle of scales of various colors and shapes together by being strung through a hole dug into one of the ends of these scales. It kept them all together in the form of a necklace as it was sprawled on the dragon’s head like a circlet.
Scars and cracks could be seen on them, maiming a few of them as massive portions of the scale were lost in some manner. Some of them glowed green and blue, for some reason, but I could also see some dark corruption, like necrosis, disfiguring the frozen-in-time beauty of some of these draconic scales.
… Yet, I couldn’t really tell if this truly was an artifact left behind by Princess Hestia’s grandfather, Nordoramsul. It could have belonged to the original Yothmlak, after all. Yet, I trusted Vifi’s words when she noted the demonic energy part. Who was I to say anything against that, when our party had always relied on either Klea’Hatma or Vifi to sniff out disguised demonkin?
[“The ice isn’t true ice,”] I added when I noticed what she was intending for giving me this information.
[“Good, then I can break through it pretty easily. The way the elemental’s claws are having trouble digging into it suggests it’s probably harder than this ice cavern’s walls and ceiling. If I can break the iceberg, I can get us out. We just need to distract them, okay?”]
[“Understood. Then, I’ll try to lead the discussion into a—”]
And our discussion ended when the sound of cracking ice suddenly appeared below us. Before we could react to it, the ground shot up, wrapping the cold ground around Vifi’s feet like moldable clay, pinning her down. As she was about to punch through the ice, the ground suddenly sank, causing Vifi to lose her balance and fall on the ground.
“… Did you think I wasn’t wary of where Stain was looking?” the elementals declared coldly, their eyes glowing with mana. “Similar to how you were stalling me, I was stalling just long enough for the ice elementals to perform their mastery over the ice. Stain, I must speak with Tasianna alone for a moment. Thank you.”
“Wha—WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” Vifi screamed as she pulled into the ground, disappearing before me as I couldn’t do anything before the hole shut close.
“No!” I shouted, but even my voice was too late. Gripping my hands, I pulled out my catalyst and prepared for battle, only for my body to freeze when I saw a cloud of scales hover over me, ready to shoot me down if I tried to act.
“There is no reason for us to fight, Tasianna. Young fairy and future king of ice,” they stated, causing me to grit my teeth in anger as I couldn’t believe their audacity. “Or, if you wish me to threaten you, then let me tell you that I did mean it when I said I needed Stain’s body. Alive or dead, it doesn’t matter, as long as I can harvest some of her demonic mana. Which means, depending on how you wish to proceed with our discussion, she might live or die. Her life hangs on your choice, and I wouldn’t underestimate the army of elementals hiding below.”
I clicked my tongue but decided to loosen up, putting my catalyst back on my belt.
They nodded, content, before turning back to Yothmlak’s body as their terrifying aura started to subside. “Fairy, I have a question: do you know why we elemental emperors all failed to reach divinity despite the fact that we had the world worshipping us as their elemental primarchs?”
I stayed silent, but even after some time had passed, the elemental kept waiting for me, unburdened by the noise above or the ones below. Prince Nongramos and Vifi were both fighting for their lives, yet all I could do was wait. Was the answer here to wait until everything would lead to our victory… or was this included in that “proceed with our discussion” part? Would speaking ease their battles?
“… The Origin Gods appeared too soon and—”
“Wrong. Don’t bring them in here, the fault lies not with them, but with ourselves. We were unable to achieve apotheosis because we did not know how to mold mana in such a manner that allows us to achieve our goal,” they replied, irritated as they scratched on the iceberg, trying to dig something out of it. “Instead, as you do not understand, let me ask you another question. You as a fairy must know the Iggdrasil family, correct?”
I nodded, keeping my mouth shut that I was once their maid.
“The royal family of fairies, the only ones to be able to propagate their ‘bloodline’ despite being faefolk. The closest to the elves your race has ever been to fully copy what transformed you fae into fairies. Not just your appearance and the fact you must eat and drink to survive, but also the fact you can make a family. That is what makes the Iggdrasil family so special amongst the fairies, and why all fairies consider them their rulers the moment they are—Arck!
B-born!”The elementals yelled as they ripped out the scale necklace from Yothmlak’s corpse, prying out some of his remains with it. As the elementals cleaned off the flesh and skin, dangling the scale necklace around them with such nimbleness as if they were never frozen in the first place.
“Have you never tried to question that?”
“Huh?” I raised an eyebrow.
“Why is it that you fairies consider the Iggdrasil family your rulers the moment you meet them? We speak of this from experience, as the wind elemental emperor was the one to grant the Iggdrasils a long-lasting bond of friendship that allowed their family an astounding control of the wind element as if they were wind elementals.”
… Wait, why is that so?
Now that I think about it, from the very start of my life, when I was born in the outskirts of the Saelarial fairy village and was taken in by the Silverpond family, I always had this weird absolutism in my mind. Not just the fact I was more beholden to my emotions and wishes, to the point I seemed childish in my memories, but also how I felt… more positive feelings when I witnessed the royal fairy family for the first time. Even more than my familial ties with my adoptive family.
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
Never have I thought of betraying the Iggdrasil family, always wanting to serve them as the perfect servant. I listened to them and I would obey without question, but wasn’t this just a quality for a good retainer?
Yes, of course. I was taught this by my adoptive family. Yet… it always felt natural to do so.
Why so, though? We fairies were known to be free-spirited due to our fae-like nature. While we could form respect for others and not treat them like our playthings to annoy, it was entirely different with the royal family. Never have I seen a fairy treat them badly, nor did any speak an inkling of criticism after their youngest daughter died due to my failure. Sure, it was in our nature, but… why?
“Faith, that is why,” the elementals answered as if they could read my mind. “Like how the humanoids instantly recognized divinity when the Origin Gods usurped our positions as elemental primarchs and took over as this world’s first gods. All could feel they were godlike, with this aura that cannot be described in terms those who had experienced it before can understand. Faith. That is the answer.”
Faith?
“An ambiguous term that describes mana that carries the emotions, wishes, and devotion of a living being, similar in a way to an aura. When humanoids pray with somebody in mind, just like how mana would listen to us when we cast spells, mana would carry these wishes in the form of a weak aura to that person. However, unlike those ready to become or are gods, most normal beings will not have a method to attract this mana towards them before all those emotions are swept away like the sand grains on a beach, never to reach their goal.” The elementals turned to me, bringing the necklace with them before laying it before me. “The Origin Gods have an attraction that pulls that faith to them, and now they have the Divine System to do it in mass. One does not need to know the Origin Gods for their ‘faith’ to fuel the Divine System. Just like how a fairy does not need to know the Iggdrasil family, as they are born from faith, just like all fae are. Emotions or the elements taking form with the help of mana!”
“I…” I tried to say something, but I couldn’t as I gazed at the elementals’ glowing eyes.
“Faith from other fairies molded you, Tasianna. You couldn’t betray the Iggdrasil family because it was in your nature. Yet, instead of going to them, your devotion is entirely directed to your princess—this fire dragon whelpling. Such a devotion to her, never relenting on the fact she might have died in this snow… such faith. It makes you so different from other fairies, to the point you are able to question this faith when I spoke of it.” The elementals stroked their chin as their mouth curved into a grin. “Hehe, something we emperors would have definitely loved from our followers, but most are mere faefolk. None was like you. And the humanoids never had such a strong faith in us, never worshipping us like how they are doing with the Origin Gods. We also didn’t have the ability to absorb all that faith-filled mana, even if we were the case… but its different now.”
He turned to the spire, drawing my attention as well.
“The Earth Elemental Emperor was the only one to attempt to find a solution, as the rest of us dawdled on our laurels, believing it was just a matter of time before we ascended. They tried to create their own patron race in the form of dwarves, mimicking the elves, humans, and fairies, yet when the time came for them to fuel them with faith, they turned their worship to Crustacia, elevating her even further. How ironic, no?” The elemental let out a bone-chilling laugh before turning back to me. “But we found the answer. The reason why the Origin Gods were so capable of absorbing emotion-filled mana is because the world they came from was drenched in it. Like magnets.”
They pointed at the necklace. “These scales had absorbed demonic mana. A silver dragon pair had left this and an ice spear behind after the demon wars. We, naturally, were curious about it when the Ice Elemental King found it, and so we resided in it, allowing us to understand why we were beaten by the Origin Gods.”
My eyes widened. “… No. Vifi—You’re—”
“The idea has its merits, no? The demonkin can donate her mana to us—to you—and help you become a king while we reobtain our powers as emperors—as demigods! We will reobtain the mana we left in these peaks!” he shouted. “And you, Tasianna, can reobtain that which you have lost.”
“What I lost?” I squinted as I heard those words. It wasn’t to obtain new power, but to retrieve something that I didn’t have any longer.
They reached at me as I was momentarily stunned, prompting me to back off as they pointed a claw at my chest. “Isn’t there something you wish, Tasianna? Something more than just power? A guilt that you need to rid yourself of, a trauma that made you so devoted to your current mistress?”
“I—” I shut myself up before I could speak. Their identity might have changed, but this was still the same person who I had spent that horrible one week with. The same person who kept attempting to have me join them in their plans. I couldn’t fall into these honeyed words. “There is nothi—”
“What a pitiful lie, fairy. You have no control over your expressions. Mindlessly following behind that mistress of yours like a drone, defanging yourself when true power lies before you. A liberation from your current torment, from your sins of the past! You will become king!” he stated with a wild snarl like a bloodthirsty general. “The Ice Elemental King who can make everything with ice! Birth a new generation of fae—lesser, fairies, or elementals! Or… rectify what you have lost, Tasianna.”
The elementals reached their hand out.
“Will you not, at least, attempt it with me? Create a world for us fae that we have lost? All the dancing and singing, without having to be treated as prey by the dragons. Think of the wonder and tales we could create in such a world.”
“Singing…” I mumbled as I thought of the nymphs and lesser fae I had spent nearly a month with. We traveled and spent our days together in that dreary tunnel, yet despite the lack of light, proper meals, and warm accommodations, I still found it so much fun.
“No more would we be betrayed by others. By our friends. We can be the change, Tasianna. Never will our friends be threatened by others again, causing an oath or promise to break due to their death. We can be the change! However, it can only happen if we take the steps forward. For—”
“Princess Schuri…” I mumbled as I finally felt something strange going on in my mind.
… Ah. My eyes widened as I realized foreign mana was entering my body, affecting my brain at this very moment. They are using an aura on me.
Yet, it was too late. The elemental never turned off their aura attack, they always had it on. They just changed it to something similar like [Saint’s Aura] or [Royal Presence] to cajole me to say what they wanted, or think what they wanted me to think just like how Princess Hestia would use it to persuade others…
The elementals’ smile widened into a crescent moon as they heard me fumble. “She is still within you, Tasianna. Bring the young fairy princess back.”
“N-no, wait! Stop it! Stop affecting my mind—”
“Stop fighting against what you must do!” they bellowed, silencing me with an ear-puncturing voice. “She is gone because of you! Yet, you won’t take any action into bringing her back? Do not forget, Tasianna, we are fae. We are bundles of mana! You can bring her back.”
“False! Lies, filthy lies from your mouth!” I shouted back as I pulled my catalyst from my belt and formed an ice spear from the gel-like slime, throwing it like a javelin at the elemental only for the floating scales to parry them. “Fae are still beholden to the laws of death! Every fae is born with a soul, and Princess Schuri died years ago! Her soul has been reborn! Her soul is no more!”
I readied my spells as I felt my mana escaping my body, forming magic circles. The anger filling my head with a desire to rebel broke through that annoying feeling in my mind.
Yet, the elementals stayed calm. “… No issue. If you cannot be persuaded with my mana, then there is still another way.”
The elemental’s body cracked like a broken window pane, shattering into a million fragments while the scales shot up, flying around in a cloud as they prepared for battle. Similarly, I prepared myself for the battle, having already readied ten spells to be cast. I could hear Vifi fighting loudly below. Fierce, without qualms for the enemy, and resolute that she would achieve victory.
As such, I had to do the same. Even if I couldn’t defeat the elementals inside their own home, I would escape with Vifi. I just needed to—
[“You took nearly a month to get here, did you think I wouldn’t secure some methods to assure you wouldn’t escape from me, Tasianna? Godhood has no shortcuts.”] I heard two disembodied voices ring in my head simultaneously, neither from “Yothmlak.”
One was from a young child, while the other was from a mature woman, mixed together to sound like nothing but instruments played in discordance. One too high, one was quite low. Usually, this would create a semblance of harmony, though, as Princess Hestia would like to say, but this discord was gnawing on my focus. Yet, despite these differences, they continued speaking with such unity as their words perfectly conveyed what they thought.
[“Our dream as fae will become true. We need your help, Tasianna, and we will make it so. No matter your grievances, your mistress—that young dragon—will grant you a time to repose. So that you may once again embrace what makes us fae fae,”] the voices announced before the air around me started to twist around me like an [Air Shield].
I activated my spells in response, but before they could fully materialize, the horde of scales shot forward, destroying the materialized spells before they fully formed. I tried to reply in kind with a true ice spell, but before I could, the air shield pulled me back into the ground as ice chains shackled my limbs.
A strong gust blew the Ice Elemental King’s core towards me, slamming me with it as it pushed me close to the scale necklace. As I lay there, trying to stand up again, the necklace started to glow green and blue before similarly colored slime shot out from it, wrapping me and the core in it. As my body was fully enveloped by it, my mana connection to my spells was cut off, causing all my spells to fizzle out.
As I stared in horror as I was caught in a trap, my consciousness started to drift as the words of my capturer sent me into a sleep like a lullaby.
[“We will make your fairy tale come true, young fairy.”]
Effects: [Excited: 17%] [Anger: 17%] [Fear: 17%]
inflicted on [Wrath Demonkin, Vifi’Yok]
My red lightning shot forward like an arrow, piercing and vaporizing the ice elementals, unable to dodge out of it. The thunderous halberd destroyed walls, shields, and bodies as it carved through my enemies, paving the path forward for me.
A blizzard raged, artificially created inside this ice cavern by this ambush of ice elementals, preventing me from using mana magnetism to accelerate myself. I was truly only relying on my body now, but even then, I wasn’t deprived of my tools. A soldier’s and warrior’s safeguard has always been their skill and training, but tools and equipment were equally as important to the war effort.
“One does not walk into battle with mere fists, no matter how powerful the pugilist. Armor of metal or armor of mana; let arrogance and blood not blind you to the fact that you are a mere mortal.” … On the second day after I was adopted, my father taught me that simple lesson that every leader must remember. There was a reason why supplies and logistics were a major reason for winning or losing a war.
[Agility Elixir (Major)]
inflicted on [Wrath Demonkin, Vifi’Yok]There was no reason to hold back now that we have reached the final sprint. I would bring Aurora its victory and the spoils of battle as their Warbringer!
Once again, the sound of ice splintering apart in front of my all-destroying lightning. The rumbling wake I left behind as I finished off the majority of the elementals left a weird taste in my mouth, as I couldn’t feel satisfied with such an ambush. Not enough greater elementals, honestly. Far too many normal ones who were like rats in strength.
My excitement was talking, really, but even the rational part of me, unable to fully reveal itself since my emotions were surging, could tell I would not meet my match here. The greater elementals were quickly destroyed as my thunderous weapons struck them down, although I could tell none of them had perished as they kept reforming themselves.
No matter. The goal wasn’t to defeat them, it was to find an opportunity to return to the cavern above. And I did just that as my [Voltaic Red: Thunderspeed Roar] cleaved the ground apart, allowing me to climb up and leave the elementals below me behind. Yet, what I saw when I returned to the chamber was not the howls of battles as my companion faced down a former god, but the sickening state of everything—defeat.
Tasianna was trapped inside a gelatinous blob similar to a slime as it slowly started to grow, shining a bright cyan as I could feel the cold even from here. Strong ice mana wafted around, maybe even true ice, causing my skin to crawl as I could feel it affecting my manatech prosthetic.
[“Ahhhh… so these are her memories. That is how she developed into the perfect host for us,”] a freaking annoying buzzing filled my head with words, grating on my already heightened emotions. [“Stai—No, I shall show you respect. Vifi’Yok, former Warbringer of the blemish of Peolynca, dare you wish to free your companion from her cocoon of ascendance, then you must face me… and the allies I have made on the way.”]
“Kurraaaaaaghhhhhhh!”
I took in a deep breath as I heard that roar echo from somewhere. I knew that sound, that beastly howl. The one responsible for the dragon hunts stood before me, having captured my party member, and the executor for that order started to rear its head.
The monkey.
I grip my rapier tightly as I fueled my arms with mana.
“Name me correctly, elemental,” I declared. “I am Vifi’Yok, sixth member of the rank A adventuring party, Aurora! Prepare to die.”
