As the duo were led cautionly to a room to get changed. The skeleton was the first to get some clothes handed to him first. It had a brown cloak with a white button down shirt and brown pants. Once the skeleton had put that on. He was given a hat that was brown as well.
As for Rex, he was given a black cloak with the white button shirt and black pants. He was not given a hat but a scarf that was black. Once the duo were dressed, they made their way to the lake.
Rex's lady was dressed in a fancy blue dress that had sparkles when she spun in front of Rex. As the other lady came around when Rex's lady was done it was seen that she was wearing a pearly white dress that seemed to make the lady more childish has she had a gentle smile on her face.
For the final woman was finishing getting ready behind the house. She had almost finished when Rex and the lich had come out. The nervousness was filling her now. If she was not dressed properly for this ritual. The consequences would never be fulfilled properly. Nothing could fix the problem if she had not properly dressed right.
As she needed to put on the jewelry to finish her dress. She could not decide on a necklace that looked good enough or would be shiny enough has the ritual would begin.
Her ring choosing was even worst because there were only two but neither one matched her dress.
She finally decided to put on a green necklace and ring. Although they did not match her dress. The shade of green was a slight glowing to the sapphire dress that she was wearing.
As she finished, a small smile became plastered on her face. It became the glow that the others would notice.
She walked towards the lake. Each step became nerve racking, but she made sure to keep the smile on her face.
As the group felt that they needed to be turned towards the house. They saw the smile on the elder's face. Each step seemed to fade into nothingness as the group could not take their gaze off the elder.
As the elder got close, the lake seemed to glow green. No one could even hear the words that the elder spoke. No one could even care at this point.
That seemed to make the ritual go through without any problems. Once the ritual was done, the group could not help but blink until they felt that they had woken up from a deep sleep.
As the lake seemed to glow a mystic green from the bottom of the lake. Immediately once the group had finished the blinking. Rex's lady had a weird symbol on her right hand once the lake had gone through the ritual.
The symbol looked like a humanoid holding hands with a water droplet. Once the symbol glowed after Rex's lady looked deep into it. As the symbol seemed to reflect the deepest part of her emotions. She began to feel the love that was coming from Rex.
She gently nudged closer trying to stay closer to Rex. The glow on the hand became a bluish green.
The symbol changed to show a mini Rex and a mini her. Her love formed a symbol on Rex's left shoulder. That symbol was a giant water drop with the face of the lady of the lake in the center.
The stinging sensation that would normally be there was not. The sensation that Rex actually felt was the love that flowed through him.
As the ritual for the duo finished, the ritual for the lake had finished, there was only one ritual left that the skeleton needed to watch so that he could actually upgrade.
As the skeleton knew that he needed to watch the ritual. He decided that he would tell Rex that the ritual would allow him to become an elder lich.
This Elder Lich would have to return to the home that which he was born from. From there he would be reborn into a regular lich again and keep the stats he had as an Elder Lich or he would forced to bring more children and adults into the fold.
After actually talking with Rex, he honestly did not want to return to the place. He had to regardless of what was truly going on. He had lost his human skin and could not get another skin yet.
The lich tapped Rex on the shoulder. The duo walked away couple of steps backwards.
"I have to tell you that something major is about to happen to me. In order for me to do what I need to, I honestly need your Blessing and a way for you to track me."
