As I was in meditation trying to make myself stronger, trying to understand each of this different energies that I was absorbing into my very soul. Another pair of eyes were watching the events unfold in the void. These eyes were a bright scarlet red and reptilian in feature, the light in these eyes flickered for a second before whoever possessed them closed them slowly in retrospect but only a fraction of a second passed from when they opened until they closed. The only person who felt any fluctuations in the void was Fate himself, afterwards a sly smile formed on his face that would remain until the end of events that are about to unfold.
Meanwhile after the scarlet reptilian eye opened inside Auldens sea of consciousness a voice echoed.
"So you have finally resurfaced after all the suffering you put my Race through, huh?" A domineering female voice rebounds in my skull.
I was startled by unexpected voice inside my head.
"Who are you?" I stutter (I don't really know how to write a stutter sorry)
"Nobody important just yet little Ghost, but you find yourself in a difficult situation, do you not?" The voice asks, the tone sounds condescending with a slight hint of panic that goes unnoticed by Aulden.
"I guess I find myself in somewhat of a pinch" I respond to the disembodied voice in my mind.
"What if I told you I had a gift that would help you in the trials yet to come?" The voice asks.
"This gift wouldn't be for free would it? What do I have to give in order to receive this 'gift' of yours?" I ask, I know that in this universe there is no such thing as a free meal.
"Hahaha" the unidentified voice starts to chuckle. "You at least have a decent head on your shoulders.. this will be better for my kin. This 'gift' I purpose is a blood ritual to transform you into one of my kin." The voice responds. I suck in a breath of fictitious air, you know since I'm talking to a voice in my head.
"Your kin? What do you mean by that?" I ask the feminine voice shakily. All of a sudden in a blaze of vermilion flames a beautiful women appears. Her skin was a porcelain white, her hair a scarlet red just like her eyes that had slit-like reptilian irises she looks almost looking ethereal like a goddess. I was shocked speechless by the events unfolding before me.
"You will be joint the magnificent race of the dragons if the blood ritual is a success." The mysterious women responds to me almost immediately pretending as if her entrance wasn't over the top. I'm stunned by her words.
"So you want me to join your Dragon race?" I ask to make sure I'm not hearing things. "I'm just a mortal human what have I done to be welcomed into the dragon race? And who are you to make the decision to preform the blood ritual that you speak of? I ask in rapid succession, this all seems to good to be true. This almost feels like a telephone scam at this point in my life.
"Who am I to make this decision? Why I am the Dragon Fire Goddess Amaterasu and it is my choice to share my blood with you in order to hopefully change your race." She responds with a wide smirk on her face as she stares intently at my soul form.I pause.. my mouth teetering between open and closed in astonishment.
"So if I understand what you're saying the price I will pay will be my humanity is it not?" I ask Amaterasu just to be sure I follow along with her plans.
"That is correct. I knew you wouldn't disappoint me in my decision." She responds with a smug smile on her face. But then a thought occurs to me, if this is my sea of consciousness how will we preform the blood ritual? As if she could read my mind she replies. "I will leave some of my blood essence inside your sea of consciousness, your job is to refine it and assimilate the blood essence into your soul form. This will give the later blood ritual have a higher success chance." It appears she is quite prepared for this ritual and has definitely given this idea much thought and planning in order to succeed.
