when dele saw the snow he only thought of one thing,and it was to return to the village. after all it was the most dangerous time to be in the christal forrest.
actually he wasn,t afraid for himself but for his companions after all he didn,t want to be the squad leader that got his comrades killed because he was reckless
so he called back typhany from scouting using the horn the village chief gave himand told everyone the're returning.
after 4 days of traveling they were facing the nillage's wall in these past days the snowing has turnrd into full blown blizzart, seeing this dele couldn't stop thinking about harry,that guy definitly didn,t like snow.
dele looked up to the gates they were the same as usual 5 meters tall made out of stone the space on the top was a person's width. the wall can have 100 lizardsmen over it.
"who's out there"screamed someone from behind the wall it was propably hugo,he was a permanent guard here.well not like he had anything to guard against at least untill winter came around.then he would be appointed the head guard
"it's me christian" replied dele. after that he heard the voice of the metalic doors open and he came in but what he saw surprised him.
the village there were actually people hanging around in this blizzard after further inspection he realised that they were soldiers and there were a lot of them
"what's going on why were so many people appointed as guards" he asked in confusion
"i guess you don't know since you were out eldra predicted a red black winter
this came as a shock for dele in his village every winter was assigned a color which was related to the strengh of the monsters to come they were the sane as a rainbow with violet being the easiest and red the hardest the winter was also assigned a color for length white meaning two months,grey three,and black four.this meant that they can encounter viscount level beasts for 4 months straight. and the worst thing is that eldra,their town's shaman never got her assessment wrong.
"hey christian the chief is looking for you,better hurry up"
"yeah,whatever".replied dele before wandering what could the chief possibly have to do with him.as he strolled down the village which was deserted,there wasn't a single soul out there after some walking he arrived in front of the city hall.
once he entered he felt good due to his feet no longer standing on the frozen pond.
he started looking around ,some emotions wached over him at least the few he had,here he was born. "come in christian" he heard the chief's voice.and he leaserly traversed the stairs and entered a room.
he started accessing everything ,the room wasn't overly fancy but it was the chief after all."what are you staring at" the chief woke him out of his daze and his attention sweept to the chief. he was very tall even compared to the other lizardmen his stats had an average of 100 it was obvious since he was the chief.
"nothing"replied dele "may i know why you called for me?" he treated the chief with respect not because he idolized him but because he was a friend of his mother he didn't know him since the interactions between them were very rare.
"what about this." said mauricio as he threw a badge at dele .
"the chief guard badge?" he was really surprised since old hugo was appointed at this position every year "what do i have to do with this?" he continued.
" you're getting the position. isn't that obvious?" the chief asked.
dele was at a loss for words it wasn't that he didn't feel flattered by the position but the problem was it was too much a pain in the ass.being the chief guard meant that he will always be outside either fighting monsters or supervising shifts exchange.and dele didn't like the cold at all. "too surprised to even reply?" asked mauricio. "well I'm flattered by your offer but i'm afraid i'm not quite qualified for such a position and i'll only bring harm to the citizens besides my strenght isn't enought"
he tried to get rid of this position no matter what he has plans for the winter he will soon awaken his magic powers and it'll take a while training them."your strenght isn't enought? you return after such a catchy hunt and tell me you don't have strenght? i know both Lisa and Tephany aren't that strong then it must be you who did most of the dirty work.as for experience i don't think it'll matter facing a red tired winter."mauricio said before posing for some time and adding"now go i don't want to see you till winter's end" he rapidly dismissed dele before he could say anything.
outside of the chief's office dele was going to hit his head on a wall.he was stuck now in this hell of a job,at least when looking at the silver lightning he would enjoy lots of rewards and special treatment as chief guard the same that allowed hugo to be a drunkard for 22 mounths a year.
he hurriedly returned house expecting to find his mother but to no avail all he found was a letter she is traveling and will return soon.now he was home alone and since tonight was the fullmoon in which he will awaken he wasn't taking any chances and did a 'kevin' as he boobytraped the whole house. with nothing better to do he grabbed some books about magic and began reading as he drifted off to sleep.
when he woke up he wasn't greeted by his room's sight but by an absolutely white space in wich 6 balls existed, of these six only two were actually 'shining' the first was a sea blue colored orb emitting light of the same color whereas the other was a pitch black orb that radiated a pitch black aura.
he moved towards them and touched them lightly afterwich they 'shone' stronger before he could further experiment he heard a thundering voice eco throughout the space
"did you like my gift" dele abruptly turned around trying to find the voice's source but to no avail finally he asked "who are you"
"i'm the person who gave you all magic ,i'm Prometheus" dele was genuinely shocked did gods exist in this word? he only knew legends about them like that they lived in a different realm altogether?
"and why do i owe you this pleausure " he replied.
"i need your help,well not the current you but the future when you become an emperor tier monster come help me escape"said Prometheus. "what do i get from it" replied dele after trying to hid his shock. he had heard of the myth of prometheus the titan who gave fire to the humans,well in this case it was magic and Prometheus was real.
"well i'll unlock all types of magic for you now and i'll owe you one".
dele quickly pondered the offer,if he were to help Prometheus wasn't there a Zeus to anger."what about the other gods won't they be angry at me" he asked with hesitation he didn't want to anger a 'god' even though he was imprisoned."how will they be angry at you if they didn't see you the gods are so erogant that they didn't bother to put any surveillance around me, moreover dragons at the emperor tire could battle gods on their own and to ascend to god tire " hearing the first part dele rejoiced but hearing the second he was surprised to learn a tire superior to that of emperor.
"consider it done,but it'll take a lot of time to accomplish"."time is all i have in this world,i bid you farewell and i like you" then silence returned to the space afterwich all 6 spheres were illuminated.
they were identical to all 6 elements,water,fire,earth,air,darkness,light but then he started to fell dizzy as if he was going to wake up and he heard Prometheus's voice one last time saying " no homo"
