(San) Seems to me you let him off easy. He died before his suffering was done and formed into this orb or whatever it is... He could've stood to watch all his clansman die and his holdings fall into our hands. Over the years he's taken from so many people, all in the name of a lineage who now we know is backed by those Necromancers and Demons...
-The Grada you've known is dead and won't be coming back. However this is an egg given to the mighty patron of ours... Once I get back to the Labyrinth, I can...
THE LABYRINTH??!!!!-San)
Wha... What???!! -Aet)
Uuuurrrrgggnnn...!!!-ThreeScar)
They all look at her with astonishment and awe. She sighs deeply and falls over but before she can explain her actions. ThreeScar snatches her by the back of her robes and holds her up so she doesn't hit the ground.
(Aet) She's fainted?!! I didn't think someone of her abilities would be drained just as easily as anyone. Oh well let's get her somewhere to rehab safely.
(San) Well do you have any suggestions? How do we even get off of this Plateau?
(Aet) We can't get my lab here. She teleported all of us here with that segment of the Oasis. So...
-Wwwweeeeee Ccccccaaaannnn Sssseeennnddd Yyyyooouuu Bbbbaaaccckkk...
Aet looks Ogren in his eyes and does not show fear or hesitation, yet a slight head nod is given out of respect before he speaks...
(Aet) Mighty Ogren ,we couldn't bother you anymore than we have...
-Ke.. Ke... Ke... Uuurrnnn... Thatttt oneee thereee gaveee usss a showww indeeddd.
(Aet) Mighty Boppa, you chuckle as if it was the time of your life... But we must get her back.
-Shee gaveee usss theee coordinatesss earlierrrr... Andddd ThreeScarrrr will beee headinggg backkkk tooo theeee Oasissss...
(San'Halo) Well we will carry out her wishes and take care of her...
-Vveerryy Wweellll wwee wwiillll mmoovvee on...
(ThreeScar) Kneel downnnnn... Stretch outt yourr armss.
San and Aet knelt down and stretched out their arms as instructed.. ThreeScar laid BlackBlood over their palms and stepped back two paces...
-Cccccccccrrrrrrrmmmmmmmggghhhhhbbbbbbbb...
-Ssssssssspppppppooooooommmmmpppppfffff...
The plateau shook for a bit, then four pillars rose out of the ground with rabid Gargoyles on top of them. Each dressed down with a latch around its neck as the main restraint and four chains anchoring them to the stage held in suspension by four ironclad shackles in the pillars.
Each snarling and sneering while saliva foamed from their grizzly mouths. The unsightly creatures were not part of these Grand Goyles. No pupils, just black pits where eyes once were....
Their paws were short and nubby and their canines had been broken off, which forces them to stay useless. The Grand Goyles faced out towards the pillars and chanted some words in a language that was foreign. Their focus was not on the pillars themselves, but straight up into the air...
The chains started to vibrate and shake fiercely, then a golden aura formed around the knees of San and Aet. It softly pillowed around them and formed a nice pocket of golden smoke. The smoke slowly rolled on towards the direction of the pillars...
On the ground where San and Aet were kneeling was now a glowing Spell Ring. As the smoke moved closer to the pillars the ring began to resonate more, the restrained Gargoyles started to howl, and the golden smoke cloud was now around each pillar, forming a small smoke cloud around its base.
The four of those clouds each turned into a puddle of liquid and made its way up the pillars in uniform. The Gargoyles on top of the pillars all stopped howling and fell to their knees, leaving a dead silence to fall on everyone's ears...
The Spell Ring not only glowed but started to blaze a golden plethora of flames. San & Aet were swallowed up by the flames but it wasn't burning them... Instead a horrid stench covered the air. It was so foul of a smell that they both struggled to breathe...
(San) Did we offend you somehow??? Why are you doing this to us????!!! BlackBlood is in here with us!!!!
(Aet) Still your heart San, that isn't our flesh burning. Look....
The golden liquid had reached the Gargoyles on top of the pillars, and quickly immersed down into the gargoyles' bellies. The restrained gargoyles looked up into the sky and let out a combined stream of energy blasting into the sky, causing Aet and San to close their eyes, but as soon their eyelids shut, San's fears seemed like a true possibility...
-Wwwwwwwwrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr!!!!
A howl of fear, resent, pain, & destitution, rang out into the atmosphere. To Aet and San it was mind numbing, to the point of going unconscious...
-ahhh... aAHHHH!!!!.... AAHHHH!!!!
Looking left and right swiftly San wakes up in a bed.
-Shit... SHIT... SHITT!!!!!
Aet wakes up in hysteria...
BlackBlood was across the room, still unconscious. The room had a light hanging directly over her bed, shining down over her body with a dark purple tint...
-San... This is my ship!!! They actually teleported us here... Then that dream of living amongst the Gargoyles was us passing through by way of the spell??!!
(San) Their claws all look like they've been gnawed off. Could it be the only source of nourishment?? Aet did you see that?? What are your thoughts?? Have you ever seen any group of Gargoyles with a level of sophistication of this magnitude??
(Aet) Heh... Heh... Heh.... HEH.... Yeah I have seen and I remember everything... Never have I come so close with an out of body experience... Coming to Nova has been the grandest time of my life. They are a phenomenal bunch. To take their enemies and force them into a life where they must eat themselves to survive...
They're not surviving for themselves, no. They're surviving in attempts to prolong the next generation of offspring... The tradeoff is essential, they're not as smart as the Grand Goyles but I think they're loyalty has no rival....
-Back to ThreeScar-
ThreeScar didn't teleport at the moment when Aet & San left... Instead he was given his right to Rule. Along with it came his own Covenant of Grand Goyles. His party consisted of Grand Boppa as his Elder lineage. ThreeScar took his mate, Ora, of the family of Grand Ogren. He also had twenty other Grand Goyles leave with him.
He then would be sent back to the Oasis to settle in before making any moves on the Cyclo Nation, Hero Guild or Celestial Forest... ThreeScar placed symbols along the borders of his territory. From that day forward the natural state of the Oasis would change so drastically it caused all the water to flow deep red...
The End...
Anarchic Quadrant will be its Successor, looking forward to your audience....
