Chereads / The Unforgiven Satyr / Chapter 44 - Daybreak

Chapter 44 - Daybreak

POV Camp

As John and the remaining nine members walked past destroyed tents and torn bodies, with bloody birds feasting, stood a man at the center, whose broad back etched the very symbol of the goddess he believed in. As they approached their chieftain the man stood over a corpse of a monster the others have never heard of or seen before. As they were about to ask the question that was on every one mind, their chief raised his right hand to silence them before they could even get a word in, while in his left hand he held the very core of the monster he had just defeated. As he and the others gazed into that crystal clear blue glass orb, they could see a few misty figures. Misty figures that just so happened to look very similar to that of Paul, Jake, Brandon, and Nathan. With puzzling expressions, the mage captain Cynthya said I think these "things" are fragmented souls... But if that is the case then that begs another question. If these are in fact their souls, then were Nicholas or logans soul? With deep thoughts Baysan said that doesn't matter right now, but what does is what to do with this, the other part of the monster can be used to make weapon and gear, but this "orb" contains fragments of our people souls, Cynthya what would happen if I were to destroy it? well, if you chose to destroy it, their fragments will return to were ever has the majority of their soul, in other words either the necro lord that made this thing or to which ever God they souls went to. I see, so what can we do with it if we choose not to destroy it? In that case you can make use of it as a battery for soul are a great source of mana, however doing so would make an enemy out of certain gods or cults. Also, one needs to know that if you are to overuse or abuse this "orb" the souls inside could be destroyed. Then are there any other options besides using it as a battery? Yes, chief there is one more option, you could take to a spirit forger to make a sprit weapon or armor, however most people don't do this because the weapon or armor forged by such a way allows the spirit to essentially control the users fate. To further clarify the sprit item maintains partial awareness of the soul used, I shouldn't need to explain further how that can be a problem. I see, so what you are saying is that if the person using the item can't "control" the sprit inside the object made, then they cannot use it to its full potential, or it can even betray the user.

Well with that out of the way let move onto the next obvious question, John did the long-distance communicator orb survive the attack? John didn't answer right away and just stood there silently for a second while absorbing the night's events, with a tired breath John answered, Yes Sir! Good, replied Baysan, "The others will need to know what has happened for this night horror has changed so much of our plans... Sigh they are going to berate me so hard! I can only pray that this thing corpse will make up this night's failure.

POV Lanthios

Ahhh! Ahhh! Were the Sounds of a painful wail that could be heard coming from a deep and cold pit, for what laid at the bottom was a man that tossed and turned, with chains giving in giggle to only be out drowned as screams of horrific agony for bones splintered, muscle tore, blood escaping every orifice. As the man screamed form the pain, he could see he arms getting longer, is legs the same, he could feel his mind slipping! Knowing he had little time left the man tried to bite his own tongue to end it all when he suddenly found himself unable to move! When the fear and pain reach their zenith the man heard a voice, but not a voice form inside his head no, for the voice he heard came from his very own mouth, but it was not his voice. Ha! I am back! I swear I will get my vengeance on that human! Confused as to why he said that the man retreated back into his sub conscience only to see that his mind was now a dark void with a huge pair of crazy eyes looking right at him. Then a voice that came from nowhere said, HA little human I will be taking your body now for I must serve my lord! NO wait! yelled the man, but before he could even voice his concern, his neck in suddenly snapped and out the man skull came out deer horns!

Beep Boop, informing user that Lawrence has successfully returned from the dead, the soul of Nicholas however was fully consumed by it, so you are unable to retrieve it!

That fine, I don't need his soul anyway, replied Lanthios. Anyway, is this really all the fear point I have left?

Beep Boop, yes for the creation of molten puppet plus the upgrade to grantee that it would be rank 2 took all but 50 points you have remaining.

Hey...Hey Lanthios... Um sorry I was in deep thought may I ask what you need Ashtine? Yes, is this cave your home? O we are here! Um...Yes...however I am not inside at the moment. I will be back by sunset so unfortunately; I will have to ask you and the rest of the girls to be patient, for I am on my way back as we speak... But speaking about the girls, may I ask if it is ok for your tribe to take them in? After all I can't have them living with me for "reason" ... That won't be a problem for the non-humans but for the few humans' girls that will be a problem... But I will talk to my father about and see what he can do but it will probably better if they just go back to some human town.

Although I do like that idea, I rather they not head to a human town because otherwise I would have to kill them, for they have seen too much, Thought Lanthios but didn't voice it out loud. Either way I hope that they can stay with you, and I just want to tell you this now but don't be startled by what is about to happen.

???

BOOM! You beep mother beep! ROAR!

Sigh sorry about that, my subordinate just got back after losing a fight.... so, he might be a little bit upset.
