Slate POV
.
Gaia: User, Hades has returned. Please awaken.
.
Gaia softly wakes me up. I have no clue how long I was out. My arm feels better. It still hurts like hell but about half as bad as earlier.
.
I try opening my eyes again but I'm blinded by the light again.
.
Slate: AHHHHH MY EYES!!!
.
Hades: Well, it looks like your lungs are healing really well. My beautiful Silver Bone, how is his body?
.
Dafuk? Who's silver bone?
.
Gaia: The Users body is 48% recovered. There seems to be an issue with his eyes though. The light receptors seem to be shutting down. There is no physical reason for this to be occurring...
.
Hades: Are you able to scan his soul?
.
Gaia: No. I can not distinguish a soul. I am unsure what to look for or what is needed to measure a soul.
.
Hades: Its most likely his soul that was damaged from the forced separation from the 4 girls. A soul is both fragile and resilient. A lone soul will flicker out of existance but a soul surrounded by its mates will thrive. The girls might be affected slightly... but Slate will have it rough.
.
Gaia: So... Users sight will be lost until he returns to the 4 females from before?
.
Hades: It most likely wont be just his sight... Could you check his other senses? See if there are any getting weaker.
.
Gaia: Scanning now. ... Scan Complete. Taste buds and Vocal cords are mimicking his eyes. At the rate they are shutting down... Users Sense of Taste and ability to speak will be lost.
.
[Fan Fucking Tastic]
.
Gaia: User says "Fan Fuching Tastic"
.
Hades: No he didnt... he hasnt said a word yet?
.
Gaia: User messaged me through his Focus network.
.
Hades: Well... that's useful. Let's travel to the cave and hunker down until he is fully healed.
.
Gaia: Understood. I will commence crafting the stretcher to move User safely.
.
Hades: Do you have a way for me to get access to his network so we can talk my beautiful Silver Bone?
.
After some noise, I hear Hades thank Gaia. What the hell is with the silver bone stuff?
.
Hades: Of kid, say something through your network...
.
[Its cold and wet on the floor. My arm hurts and what's up with the Silver Bone stuff?]
.
Hades: Woh slow down. I havent read in eons. Give me a second...
.
I waited like 5 minutes... Did he forget how to read?
.
Hades: Ok first off, Gaia is my Silver Bone. Dont ask why, it's a grown up thing kid. 2nd, your arm was blasted by what I expect was a Realm Cannon.Your lucky you blocked it with the arm that had MY bones. They saved your life but turned to dust. Your entire body will eventually have the strength of my bones now thanks to them becoming dust... but that will take a long time. And lastly... it's cold for you because your bare ass naked. On the plus side... your packing for a kid.
.
I'm naked? What happened to my clothes? Did they explode?
.
Hades: You are most likely complaining about your clothes... The teleport destroyed them due to them being normal clothes. Your little pole has been flapping in the wind this entire time... So shameful.
.
[YOU HORNY BLUE BONED BASTARD!! THIS REALM SHOULD BE PROUB IVE GRACED IT WITH MY UNHIDDEN DRAGON!! COUNTLESS MAIDENS WILL FALL UNDER ITS WRATH! JUST YOU WAIT... but in all seriousness... I need clothes. I dont want to be a nudest.]
.
Hades: Hidden Dragon? Ha!! You mean Exposed Inch Worm. You will have to hunt for fur and make clothes yourself. Until then... your a nudest.
.
Gaia finished the stretcher and we started making our way to the cave. As we walked, i tried to focus my hearing to listen around me. I could hear the ruckus we were making as we walked. It sounded incredibly loud to me. The noise drowned out everything else around me.
.
I took a deep breath through my nose. The air smelt thick and wet. I smelt a dirty and earthy smell too. Mold from trees, crap from animals, dew from rain... I felt hot spots under me...
.
[Hold on you two. Put me down for a second...]
.
Hades: What's up kid? We dont have time to waste in the open.
.
Dispite his protest, I was placed gently onto the floor. I slowly moved my right hand to touch the floor. I focused on the hot spots I felt and brought them together. The now singly hotspot felt like it was an inferno to me so I pulled it to the surface right to my hand. After a minute of focusing, a hard rock popped up from the ground.
.
Hades: UNHOLY SHIT!! A STORINIUM CRYSTAL!!
.
Gaia: Unlikely, Storinum is used to store 1 item per cluster. Largest recorded cluster... 2 inches by 3 inches by 1 inch.
.
I didnt hear them as I was focusing. I know I just pulled an ore to the surface. I need it in the shape of a knife. Without Pluto, I'm knifeless. Gibbs would not approve. I start to mold the ore into a rectangle and start folding it. I stretch it and fold it hundreds of times until it's the correct size for a knife. With repeated stretching and folding at high speeds, the impurity within was burned out. Only then will I refined the ore into a dagger shape. I make sure to keep the purity of the ore as my Shaping continued. After an hour, my new knife is perfect. I drop my psychic hold on the ore and return my hand to my stretcher.
.
[Grab it Hades, I'll need a knife later on. Hold it for me please...]
.
I fell asleep from my hard work...
.
<------>
.
I woke up sometime later. I feel colder then earlier so it's either night... or we made it to the cave.
.
[Are we there yet?]
.
Gaia: Yes User. We have arrived at the cave. Your earlier use of Geokenesis was impressive. Hades has named your work "Hollow"
.
[Cool name. How much longer till my new classes are ready?]
.
Gaia: From the time you used the Union Crystals... about 20 hours have passed.
.
[Not much longer then. Where is Hades?]
.
Gaia: lmLooking for firewood and trying to hunt. He is returning soon.
.
Hades returned about 20 minutes later.
.
Hades: Kid are you awake? We need to talk.
.
[What's up?]
.
Hades: This knife is utterly ridiculous. You made it out of Storinum. With it, you can store an unlimited amount of 1 item. This ore is so rare, only a speck of sand is used back home to store power to keep the lights on for the entire city!!
.
[Lier. It cant be that rare. Ita all over the floor here.]
.
Hades: Huh...
