Chereads / The New God: The God of Destruction / Chapter 10 - Light in the Mist

Chapter 10 - Light in the Mist

Aisha just awoke at the edge of the forest not at camp, all she could remember was getting attacked by a dire wolf also know as Aenoshion Dirasu Mori No Shi. What she saw next was Azure standing at the forest, their was mist and it was alot of it but she was not afraid because Azure who to down the Aenoshion Dirasu Mori No Shi, was their with her but what shock her even more was the fact that the weapons, he had on him disappeared into thin air.

Azure stood at the edge of the mist-shrouded forest, his forest, and contemplated all that had changed. Aruenada No Mori or The Forest of Aluenada was once a place of ancient magic and natural beauty, its peaceful denizens living among towering oaks and whispering willows in harmony with the changing seasons. But a pall had descended of late, dimming the lush radiance that marked these sacred groves. 

As the last druid of his tribe that he had killed of with his fire magic 2 years ago, it fell to him to safeguard the land's vital energies and mysteries. Yet something felt amiss he couldn't place, a wrongness seeping into the aura he'd known since birth. Venturing into the mists, Azure's bare feet whisper silken across soft loam and fallen leaves, attuned to each breath of this domain. He reached out with his empathic senses, probing. 

There—a taint, subtle but spreading. Corruption gnawed at the wood's soul from within, twisting lifeforms in its path into corrupted shades. Azure quickened his pace, following faint distortions in the magic flow to the taint's source. Breaking into a small glade ringed by stately oaks, he froze. Dozens of humanoid forms drifted aimlessly, spectral and misshapen. Once villagers if their remnants of dress were any clue, now but ghosts imbued with malice.

His blood ran cold. In all his long years, never had he seen blight of this magnitude. As he watched helplessly, one of the twisted souls lashed out at a doe fleeing in terror, phasing through her body. The doe collapsed, form warping into a ghoul's mockery before Azure's horrified eyes. 

A twig's snap drew his flashing gaze. A young human woman stood at the glade's edge, olive skin glowing ethereal in the gloaming light. It was Aisha she stared at the carnage with anguished eyes, yet carried herself with poise beyond her years. "Please...you must help them. Aisha screamed." Her voice, soft yet resolute, held a plea and promise he couldn't ignore.

Nodding slowly, Azure faced the corrupted souls with steadfast eyes aglow with eldritch light. "Aisha, stand back. I will do all in my power to give these souls peace." Reaching within, he drew forth the gift borne of his forebears – the magic of eternal balance between life and death, healing energies that could mend body or spirit. Green radiance flowed from his outstretched hands in pulsing waves, seeking out the corruption's hold. 

The souls writhed as light seared their twisted forms, melting away layers of taint. Yet their essence remained fractured, anchors still binding them to dark powers beyond his ken. Sweat beaded Azure's brow from the immense strain, but he pushed onward until the last echo of corruption faded. When the glade fell still once more, over two dozen villagers slumbered with innocent faces, freed from nightmare.

All but one. Azure sagged to his knees, drained beyond measure. His efforts revealed but a fragment of the evil staining these woods. How could he combat a foe of such magnitude alone? Soft footfalls heralded Aisha's approach, eyes bright with admiration and desperation in equal measure. "You succeeded where all others failed, healer. But the curse's heart still beats – please, will you aid me in lifting it fully? Andoran's people, my people, have suffered too long in shadow."

Azure gazed into the darkening mist, seeing only deeper mysteries and perils ahead. Yet with Aisha's plea echoes the land's own cry for salvation. His duty was clear, as was the first star kindling in clouded skies above. Rising unsteadily, he took Aisha's hand in silent oath. "Lead on, and I will walk this path beside you, wherever it may lead us into the moonlit eaves of night."

Together, they vanished into the mist as the forest held its breath, awaiting the confrontation between light and dark promised on the eventide.
