"Mitra!" shouted Flammel with a snap out of darkness.
"It appears that The Presage life force is slowly fading." Spoke Flammel's consciousness. "Would you like to assist?"
"How?"
"The two of you share an energetic cord. We will use this cord to transport you. Would you like to enter Instinctual Awareness?"
"Activate."

"So many options yet." Watching the frenzy below Tecto shook his head. "It seems that not one of those SouBei maintained their consciousness. To make matters worse. They only further spread the infection." Descending to the ground he said, "I need to do a further investigation." Releasing an electrical field The Terrehex began scanning the entire village. "It seems that a multitude is converging at one point. I wonder why?"
Hmmmm, inhaling the blood, fear, hate and every other disturbing emotion in the air which set sparks to his nerves Tecto lowered his head. "I am the cause of this massacre. I will accept that. I will never right this and my path remains the same." Shedding a tear for the souls tooch, tooch sparks of electricity began to reach out like tree branches, climbing from the ground and up into the atmosphere. Releasing a second electrical field booom, boom, boom boom, bolts of lightning rang from the skies striking down all straggler Soubei which had not met their destination. "Now on to my next mission."

"Where did he go?" asked a young lady draped in purple and dark green garments to no one in particular. "He stood in this location then poof." Throwing her hands up in frustration the grey haired teen kicked the tree next to her. Pishhhhh. "What the?" Covering her mouth and nose the teen leg flew up as the piece of land stood up revealing its true nature.
Catching a glimpse of the Quintessence shell along with other unexpected creatures plummeting to their doom the teen began to recite an incantation. "From the darkness let your light bear for eternity we share from the depth I declare Cami The Chi rise."
"It is a pleasure Ley Alma of Tajir." said a vanilla coated beauty materializing in thin air and snatching her Tefla out of the air. "What are your wishes?" Bink blocking jagged claws with one of her swords Cami used the momentum of the blow to send them rocketing into the air. "Hold on Tefla." Sprouting dragon wings The Chi body began to transfigure.
"She's a necromancer?" bobbing his head everything began to make sense.. "That might explains her interest in my being." Covering his face from the bright light of an explosion, JunBee then continued to spectate. "Then again." picturing his last words with Commander Gonal he thought. "How do I know if he didn't send her to spy on me. I might've helped save the citizens of Tajir but he doesn't owe me anything even if he put his word to leave me in peace until next we meet. It is all just words."
Dink, Dink "Curses, Its scales are so thick we can't penetrate them." running around one of the Quints giant feet Ley Alma head shot up at Cami creating a giant blazing sphere of energy. If i can't cut him down then I can." Placing her hands together Ley Alma began her incantations. "For those who rest in the depths in wait of their return I summon you. Give me your energy…" recognizing the familiar chill enveloping her body, Ley focus and intent went to her magic. "...bind this giant's legs in earth!" Do, doo, doooo. Starting off with a slight rumble the earth then stretched its arms grasping hold to the Quintessence feet up to the bottom of its calf.
Rawwwhn unleashing a trembling roar from the unexpected grasp of the Earth and the pull of gravity from its lack of balance the quint found itself hurtling towards the ground. "Mira's Blaze." shouted Cami with a fell swoop out of the skies and a shove of her car size ball of energy into the Quintessence face.
"If that beast was only a city" whispered JunBee. "Then she may have been victorious."
"Leave!"
Sliding backwards in surprise at the command of the Quintessence, tooft, tooft, tooft, the sound of football size pinecones whizzing pass both her head and the flaming barrier built by the blasts explosion hit Cami ears causing her to withdraw her twin blades to deflect the incoming missiles while dodging in between the rest.
Staring at the flaming sphere hanging in the sky below him, JunBee began to slide backwards in the air as a sense of death began to make the hairs on his body stand. Haaaam, a vacuum-like sound split the air and the ball of flames commenced to twirl around in a serpent manner. Spectating until the last of the fire was gone the SouBei eyes grit his teeth."
"It swallowed my attack." Cami whispered out in disbelief.
"That's not a quintessence." thought JunBee as a sense of imminent danger swam over him. "I have to…" Taking deep breaths, to control his sympathetic system, JunBee found it hard to take his eyes off the now blazing tribal-like marks etching their way from the quintessence elephant head, down its now humanoid body. "I'm sorry but."
"You" shouted Ley Alma with a step back of surprise. "Where? What?" Taking a glance at JunBee hands resting on her shoulder, woom, in a gut curling experience Ley found herself standing in an empty room. "What did you do?"
" If you were to continue your battle." exclaimed JunBee. "You would have died."
"Where are we?" asked the Sorcerer.
"In Tajir."
"What!" Tossing her head in all directions Ley Alma voice fell to a whisper. "I shouldn't be here." Pacing back and forth Ley began to tug at her hair. "No, no, no."
"Are you okay?" asked JunBee.
"No! You brought me back to my homeland when I just commenced my trials." Rubbing her hands through her head frantically Ley began to talk to herself. "Maybe the magic isn't in effect right now." Yanking her head back Ley Alma asked. "If you brought us here, does that mean you can send us somewhere else."
"Correct."

"It's time you return to nothingness." cackled Myrth. "Or better yet I will make a…" sliding her eyes across the cave the Khuwar ears pricked up, "What is that humming and what is this draft." Spreading out her senses in wait hmmmmmmm the vibration fell upon like a weight. "Dydrakes…I'm surrounded…but where did they come from."
"Mitra." whispered Flammel as he watched his body form from hundreds of hornet like insects.
"Her vitals are low and she needs immediate assistance. Would you like to help?"
"What can I do?"
"Soul Manipulation."
"Soul Manipulation?"
"Correct. Soul Manipulation grants you the ability to alter the souls of another by placing a portion of your energy within them. She will go through an evolution and become a new being that will forever be linked to you."
"Do it."
"A manipulation at this extent will require more energy. Do you wish to sacrifice the Khuwar?"
"Yes."
"Dieeeeeee" roared Myrth releasing a toxic sulfuric blaze of black death from her jaws. "Impossible they should be flax juice." Following the rise and fall of the insects like a giant wave the Khuwar tensed her entire body. "You shall never penetrate my armor." She shouted as the flood of Dydrakes streamed forth.
"How" Hacking up blood upon a bone white blade of a stinger, Myrth's head slid up to gaze into the two dark pits known as her aggressor's eyes. "I can't…" Wobbling backwards until she was free of her impalement, the Khuwar put her hand over her solar plexus where her wound lay. "I…" falling to her knees the Evol spat out piles of blood.
Hovering over his prey in a ghostly form The Herald's blade descended upon his prey stopping only after he pierced the nape of her neck. Haaaaaaaaf taking one final deep breath Myrth of Khuwar body hit the ground lifeless upon exhalation. "Soul Extraction complete."
Zooming over to Mitra in a band of insects Flammel bony hands slid across the Presage like an item over a register stopping at the center of her chest. Woosh taking Myrths divine spark The Herald pressed it into his Abhah's chest causing her to jolt up from the pressure and the vortex of energy being released into her.
"What is going on?"
"In order for their souls to merge both the Khuwars' souls must be threaded and absorbed into The Presage's vortex transforming her very being."
"Hints the lights. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet the energy is being mended into her seven zodes themselves." Replied Flammel upon spectation.
"Correct. Soul conversion complete." spoke The Herald's consciousness. "Your first spawn will rise in three days."

Boom…boom… boom. "Run Cyntia."
"I can't…" shouted Cyntia in reply, tears streaming down her face. "I don't want you to become one of them." gulping and shaking the image out of her head, a rage took over her. "It's those dirty Dyspons fault."
"We must not blame others for our fates."
"Horose if it was not for them and their antics you would not be trapped under this rubble. And now…" Boomf! "There coming."
"Leave."
"I will not." shouted Cynthia with a sprint across the room and a toop, toop, a tap of her new weapon against her palms a grin leaped on the young woman's face. "I will not die until those Dyspons receive the proper care they deserve. And you will live because you are my other half. We are one our souls are connected since we came out the womb."
"As you have spoken so shall it be."Peering up at the hole in in the ceiling with a deep inhale Horose eyes went wide. "Cyntia above us."
Tossing her head up to gaze at the undead rolling their heads around, Cyntia held her breath hoping that they wouldn't see her. "I have to get back to the barrier." she thought as she stood motionless watching the SouBei sniff the air until one of them released a cry which led to the rest doing the same.
Ripping at the floor the SouBei commence to slip through the hole in the ceiling one after the next running blindly towards the scent of blood like mad sharks.
"Horose!" snapping into action Cyntia broke into a mad dash steel poker in hand.
