The team made their way closer to the Temple under the jealous gazes of the people around that thought they had been accepted under Sen'jin and got a golden ticket to a better life. The majority were there for that exact reason but many of their children won't make it in and even a smaller group would be accepted to one of the branches.
The Temple of the Dreadnought had four Chambers that represented the Styles, they were mainly the Havoc Chamber, Demonic Chamber, Vengeance Chamber,and the Abyssal Chamber. These were the main styles of the leaders of the temple and the options for the lucky few that were chosen to learn the higher arts under the teachers of the style.
Sen'jin was the best disciple of Thug'dromog who was the headmaster in charge of the Havoc Style who valued mobility above all else, they are masters of momentum which they used to inflict devastating damage to their enemies. The Havoc Style is the more flashy style of the 4 and for that reason kids loved it. They usually vaulted backwards and then dash forward at incredible speed using the momentum generated to inflict more damage. Their weapon of choice were usually two 1 handed light weapons with a curve edge as they prefered cutting to stabbing.
The Demonic Chamber was very interesting and their practitioners were scary powerful or weak as hell depending on their Demonic Avatar. The Core skill was Called Metamorphosis and was very similar to Rahz's Amorphous Titan. The practitioner was able to transform into a Demonic Avatar revolving around the qualities of the warrior and after the first Metamorphosis took place there were no backsies. There was a rumor that a kid was so timid that his Demonic Avatar end up being The Pillsbury Doughboy, he was a hit at every party but not so much in the battle field.
The Vengeance Chamber was the less popular of all as there had not being any graduate from it in years. In theory they specialized in using their chaos energy to increase their explosive power and although they could use chaos rune skills like chaos blade and chaos rush they prefer not to. The teacher in charge of this chamber was actually the only guy that was an outsider, he was 3 ft tall gnome that didn't like clothes and walked around in speedos. He was bald and had a white beard in a bandholz style. There were 3 woman always to his beck and call and apparently we're his wives. If the style didn't turn people away the man in charge certainly did.
The final chamber was the Abyssal Chamber, they preferred using creative combinations of Rune Marks to inflict damage to their opponents as well as their immolation aura to melt their foes, they were the easiest to determine the battle prowess due to the amount of Chaos Runes on their bodies. The higher the number of runes in their bodies the more spells they could use and the amazing part about it was the instant cast of the spells and combat arts. They could use chaos eruptions back to back and their training revolve around increasing their number of chaos runes in their bodies which usually was a very painful process.
It was an excited time for Rahz that was home trained and he was hoping to make it into the temple and move towards his second evolution and become a true dreadnought.
The group was moving through the crowd while a very teary voice was heard getting closer and closer. "Young master! I am sorry Young Master. I tried to throw them off your trail but they were prepare but I am glad you are here. Now we can head to see the elders to get you immunity"
"Uncle Igor when did you get here?" Said Sen'jin looking a little embarrassed.
"I took a portal and informed little Thug the moment I saw the young master being trick and I am glad he made it in time. Come come young master we should get going, everything has been arranged for you to see the elders"
"I am not leaving my brother"
Igor looked towards Rahz trying to get his help, it was that important for them to leave and gain protection. Xyra was just a pawn of a more powerful individual that wanted to cement his position as the leader of the demon race.
"It is ok Riddick, I can stay here for as long as it takes you to get your dad's affairs in order I won't leave without you or Elune and we need to get stronger. How about this make a contract with Igor and he can come stay with me just like Midori and we can communicate through him"
After his evolution Riddick gain a little more maturity but he saw Rahz as an older brother and the moment he stood for him against Xyra solidify him as his one and only relative and no matter what Igor said he could care less about the demon race. He was Riddick of Helgahvall, brother of Rahz of Helgahvall.
Riddick nodded towards Rahz reluctantly but Igor stopped him. Young master I can't be your servant. I am probably going to died in less than 50 years and you need to create your own faction. I am going to serve you until the day I die without the contract so please use the spell to give a young demon a chance.
Riddick looked at an empty space and cast his level 19 spell Bloodline Call, a big magic circle appeared on the ground and a small imp step out of the magic portal and all the people around stare at what was coming out.
The Imp looked all around and saw many powerful demons staring at her inspecting every inch of her being. She looked like a figurine and unlike Igor who was white in color she was a really translucent brown.
"Not bad, not bad at all, she is a rare breed of Imp and she has managed to survive to level 18, I approve. She would be a great addition to your team".
"Oy old geezer don't be choosing for me, I did not agreed to become nobody's"
Igor was extremely angry with the summon as it was her good fortune to follow the son of Azgorth and how outrageous it was a lowly demon as an imp could argue like she had a choice.
Riddick on the other hand approached her and extended his hand and said "would you like to join us". The female imp saw Riddick and beside him she saw Rahz while little hearts started appearing in her eyes but she then turned to look at the third person 'Jazz' it was like when a record was scratch in a party and the music stops, all it went through her mind was you wish little fellow.
Anyways two out of three was not bad if she had to be a servant she mind as well enjoy the view so she bit into Riddicks Arm and Immidiately two runes form in her back, and the connection was to the two good looking people in the team.
With a blush on her face she said " Masters my name is Hennessy, I am a Level 18 Nether Imp, I can throw Shadow Balls to inflict damage on your enemies, I can become incorporeal gaining invulnerability to physical damage and the ability to pass through physical matter and finally I can teleport a short distance".
Hennessy did a small bow to her new master and Riddick nodded before introducing the others and explaining what her role was going to be while he took care of things. She was not upset at all and just like Midori she perch herself on Rahz's shoulder with a smile.
It was finally time for Riddick to go to mount Doom and get stronger, Rahz and Jazz put out his fist and Midori her tail, it had become tradition to do a fist bump among the group, it was their thing and to them it was a way to convey their feelings.
"Eat well, and get strong" said Rahz
Riddick smiled and went through the portal created by Sen'jin's mage while Igor was bringing up the rear. On the other size of the portal stood a Volcano 50,000 ft tall with a green smoke coming from the top and to Riddicks surprise it looked like the moon was the star on a christmas tree and the light that was being reflected was the color of the flame coming from the mountain top.
This was MOUNT DOOM !!!
