I was meditating outside my cave, letting a red energy surrounded my body and mind while the sun was shining on my face. This energy was of course, the energy of the Ka Stone, but since it merged with my fire magic, I'm going to call this my Hellfire energy.
I was training it up to be more powerful than it was before, and more than it ever will be or can be.
'I wonder if anymore magic stones will float my way in the water.' I pondered whether or not I was a main character or not while glancing in the direction of water, looking for more magical stones.
While I was meditating, something felt off, like something was coming. No birds were chirping, and none of the small mammals were running around like they usually do in the morning. 'I feel like something bad I gonna happen, but I'm not sure if it's gonna happen to me, whatever, or whoever shows up.'
*SWOOSH*
A portal that looks reminiscent to that of a portal that is used be Sorcerers, opened right in front of my eyes. I waited for something to come out of it, and not a second later, a child who looked to be in adolescence, stepped out of the portal in a typical sorcerer in training outfit.
I stood up with vigilance and inspected the sorcerer child. "And who might you be?" I asked with amusement, but still with vigilance, just less of it considering I'm facing off against a child.
Seeing as he wasn't being taken serious, the child adopted a cold facial expression and puffed out his chest with pride.
"I am Agamotto! Son of Oshtur, and student of Set." The kid exclaimed.
'Agamotto? The first sorcerer supreme? And isn't Set the one who gave all these dinosaurs magic that they can never unlock unless they were intelligent? Shit!'
"Agamotto huh?" I asked.
He nodded in pride, not know I was going to immediately shatter every last trace of it.
"Never heard of you." I had a deadpan face on the outside, but a storm of laughter was happening on the inside. Agamotto' face twisted into one of rage.
"Shut up mortal! I'm going to bring you in to my uncle and you have no choice but too! Come peacefully, or force will be used!"
"Interesting proposal you have there, it's just that. I don't want to." I activated my super speed and felt as time slowed down. I ran behind him and ruffled up his hair before sweeping his legs and leaving him there to fall in slow motion.
His eyes could follow my speed a little, but his body was nowhere near fast enough to stop me. I ran back to my spot and resumed time.
To my surprise, Agamotto caught himself before he fell and used that momentum to propel himself towards me with a sword that was made of mystic energy in his hand. He slashed toward me in mid air while I stepped to the right and punched him in the gut, sending him flying back and hitting a tree.
He got out of the tree and looked up at me with annoyance. "You're a little harder to take care of then I thought. But no matter, I will take you down!" He opened up portal in front of him and he stepped through it.
I waited patiently for him to appear while trying to sense him with my energy.
'Behind me!' I activated my speed to slow down the time just as a portal opened up behind me. I turned around and saw him stuck in the air in a flying kick position.
I smirked as I saw his face slowly form into a scowl. "Sorry little buddy, it's impossible for you to beat me. You're only a kid, maybe you can beat me when you grow up."
I activated my claws and I grabbed his leg, digging them in there. and started spinning around using my speed and let go after five seconds and resuming time.
*BOOM*
A loud crash resounded through the forest as Agamotto crashed through a couple of trees.
"Ouch, that must've hurt!" I said loudly so he would hear me.
*SWOOSH*
Suddenly I had to dodge a mystic sword from the forest that was aimed straight for my head. 'Damn, that was pretty fas-'
*BOOOM!*
I couldn't even finish my sentence because I got sent flying in another direction because the sword exploded from behind me as soon as it landed. 'If it wasn't for my increased durability, I would've been turned to nothing but bones, blood, and mushed meat because of how powerful that fucking explosion was.' I thought with narrowed eyes.
'I have to end this quickly.'
I watched as Agamotto stood up and looked around for me. "Where are you human?"
I laid down, pretending to be knocked out and waited for Agamotto to take me to Set, so I can find out what the hell he wants from me. He eventually found me and picked me up with slight difficulty.
'I'm not that heavy, you little shit..'
"Silly human thought he would beat me."
He opened a portal and we appeared in some kind of ancient base that was certainly somewhere in space. I assume that, because of the sudden shift in gravity that I felt.
As soon as he closed the portal, I activated my speed, slowing down time once again and getting off of his shoulders. I looked for the wound I made with my claws and I dug my fingers in it. Then I winded back and punched him the face. Hard. I resumed time and watched him fall to the floor, knocked out.
"Little shit." I sat on Agamotto's back while waiting for Set to arrive. A few minutes later, arrive he does, and he looks at the scene in front of him with a cold but calculating gaze that didn't go unnoticed by me.
"Well, here I am." I said with a vigilant stare. Ready for any sudden attacks.
"There's no need to be so vigilant human. Well, I can't really call you that can I? Given the fact that you clearly have incredible speed. I don't quite know what you are, which is why I brought you here to ask you some questions." He explained calmly, not wanting to have a battle in this sacred area.
"Go ahead and ask so I can go back and do what I need to do." I said impatiently.
'System use Scan on Set.'
[Name: Set
-Along with Gaea, Oshtur, and Chthon, Set was an Elder God, created at the dawn of life on the planet Earth by the sentient bio-sphere known as the Demiurge. As Satha, he was a great serpent and was known as the Old One.
-Set learned that by devouring his fellow Elder Gods, he could add their power to his own. Thus, in this way, Set became the first murderer by killing the centaurian Hyppus. Other Elder Gods followed suit, and soon the majority of the Gods had become corrupt, degenerating into demons. Set and his "brother", Chthon of the dark forces, were among the worst.]
'He sounds like a terrible person, so why does he seem, not like that. And he's a serpent? Why does he look human?'
"What are you?"
'Hm, I've never really thought about what I should call myself. I didn't expect to get asked any questions like this. I don't want to name myself Savitar because I'm supposed to spread his religion, not become him.
I'm the prophet, not the creator. I am no longer only speed, I am apart of something bigger. So I need to go by something else.'
"What am I? Although I'm no longer human, I'm not a beast. I'm still a person, I'm just better than most. I am The Great Sphinx, the Son of Savitar!"
"Son of Savitar? I don't think I know of any Savitar. Who is Savitar?"
"Savitar is the Hindu God of Motion. And I am his prophet and the Sphinx."
"Hm, interesting. If you are a Sphinx, does that mean that you are a woman with a serpent tail, wings, and a lion's body?
"No. I am not a woman with a lion's body, or wings and a serpent tail. I might have wings though, I'm not sure."
"Hmm, well you are definitely not a human, so what are doing on Earth? Shouldn't you go back to your own realm or planet?" Set asked me skeptically.
"I came to Earth to get a fresh start, I guess. Is there a problem with me staying on Earth? I can leave and come back another time." I offered, not really wanting to.
The reason I haven't fought him yet is because although I'm fast, he is a literal God. None of my punches would affect him at all. I'm not that strong yet.
"I will let you stay on Earth if you can do me a favor. Protect this planet from its destined fate. The future will have corruption and other evils that roam the streets freely. I don't want you to do this because I like the planet, I absolutely hate it, but you have the power, or, the speed to save it."
"I already planned on it."
"Good, you may go now." A portal to the island opened up behind me. I nodded and got up.
"Good luck."
I turned around for a brief second and walked into the portal, hoping that I will never have to go back there.
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!
As soon as the portal closed behind me, I started breathing heavily immediately.
"Holy shit, I just met Agamotto and an actual God. That was scary. No matter how fast I am right now, I can't defeat any God's. Except Loki, he's always gonna be an easy fight."
'I need to train harder now that I'm on the radar of Gods apparently. I can easily do my new workout within an hour thanks to the Ka Stone increasing my strength and durability.'
"I'm gonna double it."
And when I finish the whole thing, I'm going to practice my new abilities until I literally almost run out of energy. I say almost because I don't want to die… I'm immortal now..
'Well nevertheless, it's time to train!'
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!
"Wake up boy." Set said, while slapping the knocked out Agamotto's cheek. "Get up, it's time for training."
He stir awoke and looked at his uncle, "Uncle, I lost, so aren't you going to make The Sphinx the first Sorcerer Supreme?"
"No nephew, I knew you couldn't win. Which is why I asked you to bring him in. I didn't tell you to fight him or to kill him. I told you to bring him to me, and you did. Understand?"
Agamotto smiled at his Uncle's words before adopting his usual blank face that he uses around him. "Yes sir."
"Now follow along, it's time to train."
