The morning sun was illuminating the vast desert sands bringing warmth to those who lived and traversed her lands. Polemos was just finishing his basic training routine as he released a deep breath and put away his heavy axe. He looked over towards Rose as she swam in the small water source throwing fish all over the shore. He smiled as he shook his head and walked over towards the water to clean and wash himself.
As he cleaned himself he was in deep thought as he contemplated his day as it was going to be an interesting one.
'Well I've already made an enemy of a huge cult like group, a mysterious group who the cult like people are wary of and I also have a meeting with, and I also have my new leader being my guide.'
He stopped his thought process when he came to that point.
"Wait, I only agreed through a verbal agreement not officially at the guild right. Oh well since I said I'll join I'll join, what should I wear when I head to the oasis. Should I wear my normal get up or, should I be the ultimate edge lord and go with all black." He chuckled to himself. "Naw I'll wear the robe Ra left after taking Hassan, that'll make a statement."
He smiled as he finished cleaning himself as he walked back towards his camp as he made a small and light breakfast of fish and some vegetables he found at a monster nest that had an amazing crispness when held over fire. After he finished his breakfast he wore a pair of white harem pants, with a pair of cloth shoes, and the Blessed Robes of Ra.
When he put the robe on he felt a warm and gentle feeling embrace his skin that wasn't uncomfortable as he even felt that he could even walk through fire wearing the robes. As he felt the properties of the robe he had a wild idea as he made a fireball in his right palm, but when he saw the fireball it was slightly different then normal.
"So that's what she meant by a small blessing, it seems that it happens only when the robe is worn interesting."
The fireball in his hand was almost double in size with a golden colored flame in the center of the fireball as its other colors burned brighter. He threw the spell towards an empty area wondering how destructive it was compared to normal.
"Boooom!!!"
Polemos raised his brows in shock and excitement as even Rose stopped fishing as she looked over towards the sound as she hissed angrily. The blessed fireball made a huge hole that could easily fit a full grown elephant fully and even a couple of deer. Some of the sand even crystallized slightly as he got closer to look at the hole.
"Well damn that's way stronger than my normal fireball spell. I should wear this more often instead of special occasions." He smiled as he walked back to his camp as he started to tear down and put away his camp. "Since I'll be joining The Burnt Lioness I should be joining an encampment and if not I can easily set my tent back up."
He easily and quickly put away his tent as he put his bag and tent into one of his rings then after doing that he put all but two of his rings into his necklace as he didn't want to show off. Then walked along the shore as he put all the fish Rose fished into the empty ring of his left hand. Then looked to Rose as she lowered her head as he jumped atop her head as he rubbed it and pointed to the Minor Oasis.
"Let's go Rose, let's have some fun." He smiled as Rose hissed as she rose off the ground slightly as she headed in the direction of the Minor Oasis.
As they we're finally getting closer and closer to the oasis Polemos's purple eyes went wide as he saw just how huge and colorful the oasis actually was. When he saw it from a distance he was able to see the green but not all the amazing and beautiful colors it actually held. There were many trees and a bright and beautiful water source in the middle surrounded by countless tents and even buildings. But what really made Polemos jaw drop was the actual sheer size of the oasis.
"They called it a Minor Oasis!? This isn't minor, it's huge just what in Death's name."
Rose didn't really care about the size as she felt something else from the oasis as she was able to feel the mighty and powerful beings or people who inhabit it. As she even hissed silently.
But as Rose got closer to the oasis they noticed a crowd of people who were also heading into the oasis. But when the crowd saw a Giant Centipede headed towards their direction, the crowd of people screamed in terror and fear as they ran faster to the oasis in a mass of chaos.
Polemos just laughed as he ignored them as they headed closer to the oasis. But as they got closer he noticed that Rose slowed down slightly as she hissed in anger. When he heard her hiss he frowned as he saw why she was angry, as a group of five individuals in a bright white robe with a red edge raced towards them. But when he saw the robes he smiled as he rubbed Rose's head and told her to stop as he allowed them to get closer.
He was going to call out to them but before he could he saw one of the five pull out a bow and launch an arrow towards Rose!
When Polemos saw the arrow, rage filled his eyes as he stood as his Death Bells chimed a cold sounding ring. Rose, feeling his anger hissed demonically as she raised her upper body into the sky and dodged the arrow. When Rose hissed she scared the riders horses as they seemed to fall to the sands as the individuals were thrown off them. Seeing them fall didn't soothe Polemos's anger as his eyes were cold as the depths as a frightening smile formed on his face as he spoke in a cold tone.
"Not even my old tribe dared to attack Rose. Even though I haven't done anything to your group yet or planned to, now I am." Polemos swore as he looked at the Gods Blood group as they stood to their feet as they tried to pick up their horse but failed, as they were still scared from Rose's hiss.
"Kill that damn centipede!" Yelled one of them
"With pleasure."
Said another as he pulled out his bow, nocked three arrows, and pulled back bringing it to a full moon. He took aim but, before he was able to fire he heard a loud cold voice come from the top of the centipede's head.
"I dare you to fire those arrows. The moment you do, you Gods Piss members will be embracing the warm sands beneath your feet. Or do you think you could handle the wrath of my leader when she arrives." Polemos threatened in a cold and vicious tone as he spoke aloud.
When the individuals heard his threat they hesitated until one of them laughed as he strode forward speaking in a mocking yet prideful tone.
"Don't listen to this savage, he's been camping outside the oasis since yesterday. There's no way for him to be a part of any organization in the oasis, plus our Gods would praise us for getting rid of such a savage and his pet insect."
Every word he spoke sent smiles all across his group's faces as the individual with the bow readied himself again to fire. That was until they all heard a voice that sent chills down all their spines. As they turned to look behind them.
"What don't look at me? I agree with Polemos. Fire, I'd love to see how you all face my wrath as you attack my two new members. Go on fire." Secat spoke with her arms across her chest with a smirk on her face, egging them on.
When they recognized the individual behind them they all looked like they swallowed something sour and disgusting.
During the time when Secat arrived Polemos and Rose came closer to the group as Polemos jumped off Rose's head as he stared at the individual who shot the first arrow with rage in his eyes. Then turned to look at Secat and greeted her with a smile.
"Morning Secat, how are you?"
"I'm good, you really like getting into trouble don't you. Already your second run in with what did you call them. Ah that's right Gods Piss, that was funny." Secat smiled as she laughed while the members of Gods Blood frowned in anger.
"You shut your mouth you amazon-"
"You finish that sentence and I'll make sure you lose your third leg." Secat cracked her knuckles as she smiled. "And since I'm in a slightly good mood I'll let you leave"
All five members squirmed as the shrunk back slightly as the one who held a bow put it away. As they started to turn away until they heard a cold voice behind them that held killing intent.
"The bastard who shot the first arrow stays. I need to return the favor, I'll be taking your right arm as compensation." Polemos withdrew his axe as walked forward with a dark look in his purple eyes.
The one who fired the first arrow stopped as he looked back and just laughed.
"Compensation, compensation for what, a stupid pathetic insect."
"Her name is Rose, and now I'll be taking that tongue of yours also." Polemos casually said as he continued. "What, I'm a stupid savage from the desert, afraid you'll lose you pathetic Gods Piss prick."
When the individual heard the savage insult not only him but his two glorious Gods he snapped as he rushed Polemos in anger with a savage look in his eyes as he pulled out a scimitar from his waist.
"How dare you, you damn savage I'll kill you."
Polemos only smiled further as it took on a devilish look as he watched the individual rush him in anger.
"Come I'll show you what a savage can do."
