"Hello brave adventures, I am the Goddess Raya."
Before the party could process what just happened, they fall from exhaustion. The goddess giggles. "It's like all men are the same, did you think you could just ignore your exhaustion?" Raya scoffs at the party. "Acting like you're not exhausted doesn't make the exhaustion go away, you used up all your magic power."
Raya puts her hand up and rings appear above her hand, the rings shoot from her hand and into the hearts of the party. "Here is a gift from the gods." The party starts to regain some energy; it is slow but noticeable. Raya looks up with an annoyed look. "My time here is limited so listen well; the gods have chosen you to complete a task for them, you should feel honored but not full of yourself." Raya gives the party a degrading look. "You were chosen by chance nothing more and maybe something less, quite frankly I would rather it be any other group of people."
"Now do you have any questions?" Raya says this with a disgusted look as if she does not want them to ask. Sora finally musters the strength to get up. "What if I don't want to do the god's bidding?" Sora dusts off his clothes. "No offense but I have things to do and people to take care of." Raya burst into laughter. "HAHAHA, HEHEHHE, HAHAHAHA, that was funny mortal!!" Raya looks at Sora and notices he isn't laughing. "Oh." Raya's facial expression changes to that of disgust and the party begins to feel pain in their hearts. "You disgusting mortal."
Raya begins to ball her fist, and as her fist closes the pain the party feels gets worse. "For you to be so ungrateful, TO DENY THE GODS!" The pain worsens, and blood drips from Sora's eyes. "YOU SHOULD BE CRYING AND THANKING ME FOR JUST MY PRESENCE, BUT TO BE SO PRESUMPTUOUS AND DENY THE GODS!" Raya's hair begins to flow upwards, and a vein appears on her forehead. "You court death." The pain stops and Raya calms down and smiles. "You do not have a choice in the matter."
"You will find those rings to be particularly useful." Raya raises her hand and the items from the chest fly to her. What the party sees takes them aback, text spewing from each of the items, the text is a description of the item and how to use it. "Judging from the dumbfounded looks you already have an idea of some of its uses." Raya's body begins to dissipate. "My time is almost up so I will make this fast, complete the dungeons affected by the dark gods and you will get closer to finding them and defeating them." Raya looks at them with a sad look. "Don't even try fighting the dark gods as you are now, you need to get stronger." Raya snaps her fingers at Sora. "And you could stop by your home."
As Raya's body fully dissipates, she utters one last thing. "Remember, we are always watching." Everyone is left speechless for a second. Zae lets out a loud scream. "THAT STUPID GODDESS, THOSE STUPID GODS!!!" Zae stomps the ground with all his force. "I swear I'm gonna kill-" Zae is stopped by sharp familiar pain in his heart. Xoni puts his hand over his heart. "That's what they meant by always watching. "Faiko puts both of his hands over his head. "Well, this just means more adventure for me."
Sepharoth picks up the items and walks to the chest, he finds a pouch of coins which he distributes evenly in five ways. There are four items, The Ring Of Necro(allows the use of an extra minion), The Moonstone Ring(if worn by a werewolf, they will not transform on a full moon and will be granted power in wolfman), Gauntlets of Hogar(when active, grants the strength of Hogar Brimborne, will break on fifth use), and Boots of swift wind(when active grants the temporary enhancement of speed) Xoni takes the Moonstone Ring, Sepharoth takes the Ring Of Necro, and Sora takes the Gauntlets of Hogar.
Faiko and Zae flip a coin to decide who gets the boots. Faiko goes heads and Zae goes tails. The coin lands on tails, and Faiko walks away defeated while Zae's mood gets an instant boost. A magic large circle appears under the party. The circle glows, and flickers and a gust of wind surrounds them. A white flash comes from under them and they are transported to the entrance of the dungeon. With them, a gigantic pile of Zittle Tongue mead was transported. Sora grabs a few and begins to walk off.
Faiko rushes up to him and asks. "Where are you headed." Sora speeds up to avoid Faiko. "Home." Faiko rushes ahead of Sora and puts his foot out tripping him. Faiko gets a wide grin on his face and says. "Seems like you're still tired, but we cannot rest yet we must get those back to the village and we're probably going to get forced home with you so wait for a little, would you?" Sora bolts up angrily. "I don't care for your-"
Sora is cut off by a familiar voice. "You maniacs did it!" in front of them stood the pub owner with a bewildered look. "I'm not going to ask how, but drinks are on the house tonight." The pub owner does a loud whistle. "BOYS!!" several men on horses with carriages come from behind him and rush toward the pile of mead. A white horse with a carriage runs up to the pub owner, he pets it then reaches his hand out to Sora and Faiko. "I'll give you a ride back." The pub owner picks up the rest of the party and brings them to town.
"Before you go, we as a town want to thank you so after you rest up come to the pub tonight, and I will not take no for an answer." Sora tries to say something then Faiko stops him. "You heard him and stop being in such a rush, you see how were not wailing in pain right now?" Faiko puts his finger on Sora's heart. "I'm pretty sure that means were permitted to do it then, and we all need this, after this, we can go straight to your house. Faiko looks at everyone. "Any objections?" Faiko is met with a sleeping Zae and Xoni leaning on top of Sepharpth, Sepharoth puts a thumbs up to signal he has no objections.
It is now night and most of the party is in the Pub Of Beggings while the owner gives a speech. "Thanks to these boys not only is the town safer but our town can now be restored to its former glory." He raises his cup and smiles at them. "I, Reily Stone formally thank you on behalf of the whole town." Reily gulps down his whole cup. "NOW LET'S CELEBRATE, EVERYTHINGS ON THE HOUSE TONIGHT!!" While everyone is celebrating Sepharoth is in the inn of beginnings.
"Now tell me, why did you enter Luten Dungeon."
