Chapter 14 - Ruins again

Njuko grabs at his chest where the vanishing sword had just struck. His warm blood moving out pooling into the wound. He falls back in fear. She had barely missed his heart. The damage doesn't register since the hit was never completed so he is just bleeding. 'That woman is crazy strong. I'm really going to enjoy this place.' Njuko is on the ground going over the fight in detail. He sends to Ọya, reach out with waters of his thought. Since he is not entering his Pillar he needs to translate his words into a way they can reach.

Njuko is sent warmth the energy found in lightning how it guides. It's a message 'Go to test.' Ọya Would have sent more to him but Njuko has no way to understand the sanctuary zone and her sister is not the only one hunting them now. He needs to enter the physical so that he can protect himself. Ọya Read the winds the is still time before they arrive but there is no doubt that storm agents are moving.

Njuko does feel the unease in her sending, which is muddled in view, this happened before when she tried to explain his elemental core before. Has to depend on the system page about even thou six of those orbs around his core are blocked out.

Slow shallow breathing, the effort needed is beyond anything Kuki has had to do before. Somehow thou he friends strength enough to say, "Help me." Njuko starts to walk away without even looking at him. The mans back burned into Kuki memory, the uncooked feeling of hopelessness that grips cooking into his soul breaking it a little the cracks spread to every part of being.

Njuko is walking towards the south ruin, the sending had a faint memory of something at the bottom of it. What made Njuko turn back towards the ruin is the fact the same kind of golems that were fighting in Mduju were all over its walls. It appears they are guarding something. By the time he arrives, it is early morning time. Time moves much faster here than normal. Ọya reassured him by sending a dazzling sunrise that she had seen after her first child was born.

Njuko, steps into the ruin a few sounds of people can be heard through the two hallways he hadn't gone through the first time. No, that he is part elemental the images move when he touched because his power filled the walls. s he moves he sees the different elementals fighting the huge snake. Njuko sees the walls have also light up a path for him to follow. He goes past the chamber that housed Ọya. She felt furious to him when he passed it. At the rear of the passage is a set of descending stairs. The walls are smooth to the touch and devoid of the same material that let the murals move. Njuko moves towards the end of the stairs. Clearly, there is a wall here, he feels it's buzzing at tuning itself. He feels an indent at the centre the shape is concave if his little orb. He places the completed black stone in the door.

The symbols that show up are similar to his script on his bones, the door has three blinking symbols. He tried to send to Ọya but the connection is disrupted. He spots the same script on Ọya's head in his pillar space. He runs his fingers recreating the symbol. The door shimmers and opens up. Through the doorway are weapons and suits of armour. The designs are amazingly elegant and functional. He goes to the spear hanging on the wall and tries to take. It fades directly to his inventory slot. He can't move all his whole body is stuck in place. 'What the hell is wrong with my body.'

His inventory window opens up at the bottom it reads 500/500 blinking red. His new spear is also blinking red so he reads about it.

Njuko stares with mouth a gap, this item is beyond anything he thought possible. The descriptions of the detail are amazing. The use of names that he has no idea how they connect and most of all is that the detail goes all way down to the spear with all seven of its scales. The reason he can't move isn't shown on the weapon but he thinks it is because he is not a god. Divine weapons belong to gods after all. The walls of this are lined with these weapons sets. The wall where he pulled the spear from has matching armour, necklace, four rings, cloak and shield. The wall is a display mantle because as he goes past the four sets hanging on the wall is a room lined with treasure. To h9is dismay they are of similar quality to the sets and cannot be removed by him.

Njuko is determined to find something of value, he goes through four chests completely checking every item. The number of god teir items is amazing, some materials boxes filled with material, he furrows his brow. "I haven't seen a single item that has to do with anything elemental?" He says to himself then he looks at one item per box looking for anything elemental.

The boxes are all filled with to the brim some with potions with statues effects that last months, herbs and seeds. One of them even has leathers all kinds of he has never seen. He sees a shelf full of books. he can't even pull them from their slots they are firmly stuck. To the side next to a faded image is a wooden door. Njuko goes through that hoping to find anything he can take with this place is the worst kind of treasure room. In the room there are incomplete items, first, he grabs the Necklace of Perfect Invisibility, as he is going over the details his mana empties. he doesn't even have it on, then his vision goes and he collapses. He wakes up a few minutes later the necklace next to him. He crawls away from it next to him is a bin he looks inside. The is a small piece of paper a with list of ingredients on top it is written: Heptacorine. The reason he keeps it besides the fact the paper is just normal is the list of items

1x Skin of Gormadian

1x Stormchaser Carapace

1x Vial of Quintessence

1x Unicorn Seniw

6x Different Elemental hearts

Njuko has no idea what this makes but he is going to keep it since it has something to do the elements and hearts as he needs to find one anyway. The other papers in the room have designs written golden ink but they are just scarps and cut-offs nothing complete. The rest of the room is also filled with kinds of offcuts. Njuko leaves the room dejected. He takes a final look around there is a pedestal he didn't see at first. Its design is minimalist and in a room of such grandiose opulence it stands out. He moves closer putting his hand on the pedestal.

He is overcome...
