I stayed in the Ice Bath for a time to think about things, Ramia and Gustav's pendants were artifacts that make one completely immune to all mental and spiritual attacks up to the level of True Gods in power and it could make an area of five meters around the holder into a safe zone from all mental and spiritual attacks, something we would need to defeat Bela'Kor.
In my memories master was with us all the way until the end allowing us to take down Bela'Kor but in the process she took lethal injuries and died in the end, leaving us to deal with the Invader and Corruptor on our own which shortened Ruth and Lynn's lifespans to which they had to give up their lives just to give birth to our children, as well as Uni going Catonic for years before she was able to fully recover.
If she kept her pendant and allowed me to take Gustav's pendant instead of hers then she wouldn't have died in the battle against the demons and would have been a great help against the Invader and the Corruptor.
'I got to have her give me Gustav's pendant before we go to Runala to deal with the demon threat in the near future.' We have less than a year before they go out to spread across the world and plunge the world into War.
'Bela'Kor, the Shadow King and leader of the ones calling themselves the True Demons, Mandragloria, The last remaining Desendant of Bela'Kor still alive today and the reason for his return, Osumihime, a friend under Mandragloria and the True Demons Tactician and lastly a Brute of a Woman known only by her Moniker as Carnage and has insane levels of strengths where she can level several city blocks with one strong attack alone, I remember trying to seduce them as I learned from them personally I was their type but they specifically wanted to rape my ass I lost any and all mercy for them or the thoughts of making them mine even if they were defeated and as a result we killed all of their generals before defeating Bela'Kor once and for all but at the cost of Masters life.' I thought while reminiscing on the specifics I could recall from my future knowledge.
"I think I have cooled down enough." I couldn't help but say as I no longer felt like my body was literally on fire from the intense heat my body was making, so I pulled myself out of the bath and grabbed a nearby towel and cleaned myself off of all the freezing cold water before I took the clothes prepared for me and put them on and head out of the bathroom.
I came out into a yellow hallway, clearly this was the original building of the Dreamscape but Karelia changed it from the never ending apartment complex/office building and made it more like a house instead, though it kept most of its style in the hallways at least.
Noticing me leaving the bathroom first, Orbie appeared before hugging me with her tiny arms as her eyes became teary like, seeing this I couldn't help but pat her back, "I'm all better now, thank you for worrying about me though."
After consoling her for a little bit she let me go and lead me to where all the others were at which I arrived in a living room where the patched up Jolyne, Eremes, F.F and Carmen were staring out on the patio at the strange place that the Dreamscape was which looked to them and really was just a foreign world.
I went up to them but they didn't even respond or notice me, it was like they were in a Daze and more like trying to escape their reality right now with the place they were in.
"They have been like that since we explained where we are and them seeing Orbie along with her and my powers, the shock seemed too much for them to process and so they have been just like this the entire time." Karelia said as she saw I was fine and approached us.
"Well I can't blame them, also where's-" I was about to ask where Ruth, but the ground began to shake making me look off into the distance to see two people fighting, it was Ruth and Uni and both were going all out to brawl with one another.
"Oh…. Well I guess I'll wait then." Seeing my question answered I just watched the fight in the distance that went on for about half an hour, though luckily time can be set to a 1 to ten rate with one real world minute being ten minutes here, which is really good since all of us have been within this place for several hours now but not even half an hour has passed since we all came to this place in real world time.
"Oh, your better now, that's good." Ruth said coming back with a towel to clean off the sweat she had built up in her brawl with Uni who could match up against her in both strength and speed.
"Yeah, I had to sit in that Ice Bath to cool down, by the way I heard you saved us, so what happened exactly?" I asked her as she gave me a summary of what went down.

(Ruth's POV)
"Cmon Ruth! Lynn! Why won't you guys let us see your cute boyfriend already?" Debby, my cousin, asked me while I was boxing with her sister and my other cousin Khris.
(https://rb.gy/36iuj6)
"Not happening." I already knew that both of them are the types to try and force themselves on him.
"Just leave it alone Deb, will let you guys meet him some other time, besides he had other things to do with his friends today so he's busy." Sis decided to side with me on this while I gave Khris a mean right hook she was barely able to block with her extra arms before being sent flying into the corner of the ring as she sat there to catch her breath.
"Shit Ruth, I got extra arms and I'm buff as fuck but you still can kick my ass with ease." Khris said as she was sweating all over while I wasn't as much.
"I'm just built different." I just shrug as it was the truth, I've always been overwhelmingly strong, even as a kid, hell I can lift up fully loaded Hummers if I put effort into it.
'Ruth, we have a problem.' I heard the familiar voice of Karelia in my head.
'What kind of problem?' I suddenly had a bad feeling in my gut.
'It's Ash, I don't know what happened but my connection to him has been cut off, I think he's in danger.' Is all she said to me for me to wear a grim look on my face.
"I'm going for a Jog." I say to them as I hop out of the ring and leave the gym without a second word, they probably were confused by me leaving, but I didn't care.
'Where was he last?' I asked Karelia to which she gave the most recent location I was at before the connection was cut and I ran fast enough to out pace cars.
I felt the pavement cracking and breaking under the powerful spring of mine and in only a few minutes I was near the area of where Ash was last at.
But that's when I heard the sound of a brawl as I made my way there, it was there I saw Jolyne, Eremes and F.F were fighting a bunch of punk ass bitches who were beating them up good, they were bloody, battered and bruised but the same could be said for a good portion of those Orc Bitches.
Then I saw Carmen on the ground with blood seeping from her head and under her was you, covered in blood.
Everything at that moment went white for me and I only remembered a few things.
"You Wanna Die?" I remember saying and followed by the sounds of many people crying out in pain along with the feeling of my fists and feet beating into them.
It was a blur after that but then I realized we were all within the Dreamscape and Swol Ramia was restraining me by pinning me under her.
"Ruth, it's over, your lucky I was able to stop you, you were about to become a full fledged killer if I did nothing to stop you." She said to me as I looked down at my hands and legs covered in blood.
"…. I wish you didn't stop me." I said after she let me go and I looked myself over before I headed off to the onset to clean myself of blood.
*******
(My POV)
"And after I got cleaned up I sparred with Uni to cool off and now we are here." She said giving the gist of everything she did to save me from my imminent rape experience.
I just went up and hugged her as I rested my head between her breasts, "Thank You Ruth, I'm really glad I have a woman like you in my life." I couldn't help but say as I held her tight.
Hearing that I could feel the tension in her body visibly relax as she hugged me back, "I will always be there for you Ash, no matter what bullshit this world along with anything above and beyond it throws at us." She says to me which makes me tear up a little bit from hearing.
'No matter what Ruth, I refuse to let you die on me.' Is all I could think about as I held her close.
