Chapter VIII: The Eternal Blessed Sacrifice (3)
As we set our eyes on the avatars of both gods, we were filled with awe and could not help but stare at their godly visages. A deep voice was what brought us out of our reverie.
HELLO CHILDREN I HAVE SEEN YOUR BRAVE DEEDS AND UPRIGHTNESS, YOUR ZEAL AND WILLINGNESS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY ENEMY OF THE GROVE IS DEALT WITH, I AM HAPPY OF THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE DECIDED TO UPHOLD MY LEGACY WHILE BRINGING FEAR TO ALL MY ENEMIES AND BEING A POINT OF REFUGE TO EVERY LAW ABIDING CITIZEN OF THE GROVE. I FEROXI THE GOD OF WAR AND GUARDIAN OF THE GROVE GRANT YOU MY BLESSINGS, WHENEVER YOU'RE ON THE BATTLEFIELD FATIGUE WILL BE LIKE A FAIRYTALE, I BLESS YOU WITH THE EYESIGHT OF A WARRIOR, GIVING YOU THE CAPABILITY TO SEE NOT JUST THE FLAWS OF YOUR ENEMIES BUT ALSO THE ABILITY TO SEEING BEYOND THE MORTAL REALM.
At once a warm but yet comforting light swept through us all starting from our feet up to our eyes. Immediately we could all see details around us that we would have normally ignored, we could see the dust that rose as a result of the taking off of a bird more than a mile away, the blessing of Feroxi had brought us to a whole new level, while still being fascinated with our powers we heard a light chuckle that soothed our body and went deeply into our soul, all of a sudden all the followers of Amaran went on their knees with their heads bowed.
I BELIEVE YOU ALL KNOW WHO I AM, THIS PEOPLE WHO YOU'RE ABOUT TO FACE ARE NO ORDINARY PEOPLE THEY WERE THE VERY BEST OF MY FOLLOWERS WHO WENT ASTRAY DUE TO SEEKING POWERS THAT WOULD HAD DESTROYED THE DELICTE BALANCE OF THE WORLD, THEY SOURCED FOR POWERS FROM THE DARKEST OF PLACES, FROM THE NOTHINGESS AND ARE NOW NO LONGER FULLY HUMANS OR IMMORTALS, I WILL BESTOW UPON YOU ALL A FRACTION OF THE POWERS OF MY NECKLACE, GIVING YOU THE ABILITY TO RESIST POSSESION FROM INFECTED SHADOWS, MAKE SURE TO KEEP IT ON YOU AT ALL TIMES AS THE SHADOW WORLD IS A MYSTERY THAT EVEN FATHER ADAMET DOES NOT TAMPER WITH. TO AVOID YOUR SHADOWS BEING INFECTED AND YOU IN TURN BEING DRAGGED TO THE SHADOW WORLD HEED TO MY INSRUCTIONS AND DO NOT TAKE OFF YOUR NECKLACES AT ANY POINT IN TIME, MAY THE LOVING CARE OF THE GROVE AND ADAMET BE WITH YOU.
Instantly we felt a beautiful necklace imbued with powers rest on our necks, by the time we raised our head up, they had both gone we rushed down to the village to warn everybody and evacuate the place to reduce the casualties, on getting there it was too late shadows were prowling around everywhere. We saw some people with dark capes standing, releasing an eerie chill, they were the dreaded shadow guild.
The high warrior instantly gave orders, listen to me brothers and sisters of the last born all priests and followers of Amaran are to be protected most especially the high priest, if for any reason they get hold of the high priest they will have access to the kingdom of the gods, pollute the grove and unleash horror to all of cherry tree. We all understood the assignment, for no reason should the high priest of Amaran leave our site, nobody knows what really happened some say that the elves were the ones who tricked the shadow guild into using the rune that came from the nothingness and Amaran ignored and forgot about them making them swear undying hatred to the elves and Amaran with all his followers but whatever the true story may be they've become a threat to the safety of the grove and cherry tree as a whole and as THE LAST BORN of FEROXI it is our duty to take them down to ensure the safety of all creatures both living and undead.
