Chapter 88 - A Simple Month and times long Forgotten

//Well...so I just wanted to say that it's a beautiful thing to have stacked up chapters for a month, as I just spend the last few days writing a MLPony fanfic and it's shaping to be pretty good one too XD

Anyway like always ENJOY!!!//

// England 3500 BC //

Borison walked into into his hut in a hurry, a prey dangling from his shoulder and a bow in his hand.

£Marisa! News from the south! The settlement of Hardyrey was destroyed!£ He exclaimed to his wife's surprise.

£ What do you say Bori?! How did that happen? We're they attacked by someone? £ She asked worriedly, caressing her pregnant belly.

£ Not by someone, something! A monster! People mention sightings of a large black Creature flying in the sky and killing everything in sight. Chief ordered everyone to take up arms and-£

*CRASH!!!*

Bori's eyes widened when he heard the large explosion outside.

£ Into the forest Marissa! Quickly! It's here! £ He urged her and the duo ran out of the hut. There was chaos everywhere as people run around with bows and spears, the monster was not like anything they ever saw. It was all black, with wings and the size of three horses. He couldn't give it a second glance though as he needed to lead his family into safety.

When they reached the forest though, Borison turned around intending on helping the others.

His wife tried to stop him but in the end couldn't, so she gave him a kiss and looked him in the eyes.

£ Please come back to us. £ She said pleadingly.

He looked at her determinedly and said:

£ I will...£ Before running back into their settlement.

The looses were heavy... But there was still a chance! Their weapons might have barely damaged this creature, but Bori had an idea!

His friend led the monster towards the Sacrifice Altar under the Sacred Stone Pillar.

It took all of their cunning and the life of his friend but the pilar became the Hammer of God as it crashed on top of the Monster, burying it under the Holy Grounds.

Who would have thought that Bori's brave actions would elevate him to be the next Chief...

_______

Time passed, and the story of the monster slowly became forgotten. But the Holy Grounds continued to transform.

The stone pillar was cut into fragments and the remaining part was left as the new altar in the honor of the Sun.

The fragments of the pillar went into the creation of other parts of the Holy Grounds. But what no one knew, was that the Monster never died...

________

//Present time//

It didn't know how long it was since it got stuck here. Certainly not as long as it was unable to contact it's master.

It tried to heal itself but it was not able to...But lately something changed. The power really slowly started to return. It was an unnoticeable change but for something that was stuck in place for over five thousand years with no change at all, a tiny change like that was like a blinding light in the darkness.

And then it felt it! Master! After so long it felt its master!

And Master wanted it to return. To wreck havoc and spread Chaos like it so happily did in the past!

It felt Master's power slowly regenerating it's body, healing and making it stronger.

Soon...

__________

"I want to sleep with you from now on Daddy!"

Those were the words that ringed in his ears for the next few hours...

There wasn't really much reason for him to refuse.

Honestly...Octavia already slept with him in her slime form quiet regularly, but this was quiet different as she was intending to stay as a girl from now on.

But Konrad didn't find any actual reason to really refuse her request...

The only side effect was really the bonus in a form of a certain cat girl that didn't want to be left out...Honestly...Konrad felt Blessed...

In the end, There was nothing else for him to do but to agree.

From that day, the trio would be sleeping together...

___________

The rest of the day continued in a happy atmosphere. They decided to leave their research for later and just enjoy themselves with another picnic and games.

Konrad set up a game console and an electric generator that he wanted to tinker with later to make it be powered by magic. Everyone enjoyed some games and Miastiti was really amazed with this amazing nonmagical technology.

Laverie seemed to enjoy simply floating around and doing aerial stunts, but Konrad introduced her to chess, which the sword seemed to find a really interesting pass time. She had to especially figure out how to extend her levitation to other objects before she could properly move the pieces, but soon enough she could play just the same as everyone around her.

Soon It became a small tournament between everyone, which surprisingly wasn't decided on the base of the intelligence statistic.

After only a few training games, Laverie was already the undisputed queen of chess, closely followed by Konrad and then Miastiti.

Octavia turned out to be a complete failure when it came to tactics, so Konrad had to give her a consolation prize in the form of twenty small kisses that she happily received.

But To think that a newborn sentient sword beat them up in chess...

It was a really fun day...

________

A few weeks passed, as everyone were working hard on finishing multiple small projects.

Their relationships were slowly progressing. They were still in the kissing and snuggling stage though, but they really had to stop themselves from going too far from time to time, because sleeping in the same bed led to some occasional embarrassing accidents.

Figuring out 'shapeless' magic formations with the help of Miastiti turned out to be much simpler than Konrad expected. It was still bound with some rules and requirements, but Konrad could now easily engrave runes even on uneven surfaces like a pyramid or an obelisk! And that was exactly what he hoped to achieve. Not without a reason the surfaces of the Palace and the Obelisks' in the courtyard were left untouched until now. Konrad planned to put magic into everything even if he was yet to figure out what it was all supposed to do...

He didn't learn much in regards to actual spells from Mia though. She had some knowledge about Nature and Holy magic which were certainly useful, but the rest were mostly simple elemental battle spells which Konrad already figured out by himself. Miastiti seems to have been preparing to fight against Apophis most of her life, so she wasn't introduced to the more intricate stuff like the Ritual of Regeneration that she was put under. They were trying to make her strong enough to fight and didn't have enough time to teach here the small stuff that Konrad hoped to learn.

But she did possess the knowledge of a powerful Sealing Spell to banish Apophis into his Chaos Dimension. Konrad made sure to translate it into his his own Magical Language as it was really one fine piece of magic. He had to admit that it would really take a lot out of him if he had to figure out this spell from scratch. Not even mentioning how long it would take when it comes to time. Not that he wouldn't be able to make it, but the creators of the spell certainly knew more about the enemy and the Chaos Dimension than he knew.

Though that didn't stop him from tinkering with the spell a little. Now if he was forced to ever use it, the seal would be powered by the Ambient Mana and Chaos energy itself Muahahahaha!*Cough*

Of course he hoped that Apophis was already dead, but certain prophecy led him to believe otherwise, as it suddenly became quiet obvious when considering recent events...

_______________________

Forged through blood, a warrior approaches, to find The Ruler with no Land.

The War with no Begining shall end with the Blood of The Old Gods, The Warrior and The Shadow.

The final clash will decide whether the day comes after the night.

_______________________

The meaning was obvious now but it was still not certain whether the enemy was Apophis or some other 'Shadowy' entity...

'The Ruler with no lands', and 'the Blood of the old gods' both most likely meant Miastiti, as a daughter of a goddess, who once ruled an already destroyed kingdom.

And He would be the warrior forged through blood, of course thanks to the Gacha.

Then that leaves speculations like 'the war with no beginning' was most likely the fight with Apophis, while the 'final clash' is still in the future.

Konrad knew that prophecies are very unreliable but in the end he doesn't se a reason not to be prepared. Even if a fight with Apophis doesn't happen, they would be at least prepared if any other threat appears.

But let's focus on other matters.

When that small research was over, Konrad and Octavia could finally focus on completing the first ever project they did on this territory...The Great Array!

It the beginning the pillars that surrounded the place, were made from stone and blood. Now though, it was time to do their complete makeover!

With help of Miastiti's limited knowledge about barriers, Konrad reconstructed the original project and improved the barrier to be much more advanced than just concealing the Caster Grounds...

The barrier still stopped any kind of detection and steered people away from it, but now there was also a physical barrier that repulsed any hostile entities and anything that had a connection to Darkness, Necrotic or Chaos Magic.

The Rune Clusters were remade using Magical Metals produced by a very hard working Octavia, making the formation even more powerful.

It was the biggest Magic Metal based projet they made until now, and it took over three weeks of work, but it was worth it nonetheless.

Of course they also didn't slack with the training. As Konrad was not able to teach Miastiti his own magical language he decided to teach her the theory instead. After all, she did possess a language and it was just less powerful than the one he was using. He would wait until he puts his hands on another language comprehension skill orb to give her the language.

Octavia also joined the theory lessons, even though she already knew most of it from her past studying with Konrad. She was still unable to properly cast magic though. Her control of Mana outside of her body was for some reason extremely unstable, so she still relayed mostly on magic that affected her own body instead. Slimes were most likely biologically unable to cast magic because their Bodies are held together with the Mana and removing it to cast spells outside would basically be a detrimental thing to their survivability...But even then, she didn't stop training.

Lately she finally managed to conceal her presence without any magic formation hiding her body, by simply casting a spell to affect herself and not the outside world. Konrad was really proud of her so he gave her a bunch of kisses. She really loved his kisses. And yes she had the same magic problem with magic even in her other forms. Konrad kissed her in the Human form obviously...

With the help of the Nature Magic introduced by Miastiti, Konrad also finally managed to grow the fruit trees scattered throughout the Grounds. Now the place looked even more amazing than before and after infusing some special nature formations around the place, everything started to look much healthier and more colorful.

Mia said that these were the few spells she learned from her mother before she died, and they had a special place in her heart. Konrad could clearly see that the feeling of this rejuvenating plant magic permitting the place had a really therapeutic effect on Miastiti, and he was very happy when he saw her smile brighten.

All in all it was a very eventful month that lead to multiple improvements, be it emotionally, magically or in strength.

It's just a shame that Konrad was still unable to increase his Mana Capacity...

But wait...He never tried using Laverie!...
