A Sylvan Elf with emerald green hair and eyes cuts in before this two turn the meeting in a banter ground, her voice a gentle whisper
"While I understand Architect concerns, I believe that the Obsidian wisdom is beyond our comprehension. Perhaps this child holds a power that we cannot yet understand."
"thank you whisper, that's what I've been trying to pass on all along but the conception of having a grandeur display of power and might has actually blinded the likes of Architect to appreciate little things"
Crystal used this opportunity to strike hard on Architect, "the way of beings like our god would always elude our understanding, who knows
he might have actually decided to use this as a test for our loyalty and faith in him"
"blind faith" architect snapped back, scoffing at the silly mindset this two bore.
"The child is weak. It cannot even walk. How can it possibly lead us?" The Earthshaker, a Stoneborn with a rugged exterior, skin resembling weathered stone spoke, his voice a deep rumble that vibrate through the chamber
He finds it hard to believe this child in front of him is their great and powerful god, not that he wants to doubt obsidian but the tiles aren't just matching
they themselves aren't any ordinary being in a sense, talk more of a being thats on peer with the goddess Aurora, the pantheon considered to be the primordial deity of this world
Neither is there any form of doubt or denial to his might either, he is the one who made them what they are today. raising them from nothing into a being that could rival many powerful faction
every single soul around this table has a tale, especially himself who is an outcast from his own clan, excommunicated and left to Wonder this harsh wonder with the weight of his powerlessness hanging on his shoulder
All because he was too weak and daring enough to challenge their clan chieftain when he came after his mate, he wasn't just beaten but humiliated and to make matters worse
the chieftain forced him to watch while he defies his mate after which he killed her when he was done just because she was proven stubborn in defusing his advance all for his sake
he could still recall his mate painful smile as she drew her last breath, a weight he bore even till date.
At the pit of his despair, he chanced on obsidian who introduced his god to him, giving him the power to defy the hands of fate in his life
the strength to not only just exert his revenge on the chieftain but the entire clan that had stood aside and watch the innocent oppressed without say a word.
others have this such tale too, having fate decided a cruel verdict on them until they were empowered to change the course f event over their life.
Is it Obsidian, or is it bloodmist who was originally know as an abomination to her kind. The first Bloodborn and probably the only one
Born from a failed experiment orchestrated by Alastor, a mad dark sorcerer vampire obsessed with creating a superior bloodline.
Infusing his vampire blood with the blood of the most debased and despised race, the Gnolls.
Creatures known for their savage brutality and primal instincts, who were considered the lowest form of life by vampires.
Alastor believed that by combining his vampiric blood with the Gnoll's raw, primal energy, he could create a being of immense power. However, the experiment was a disaster.
Instead of a powerful hybrid, Alastor created a weak and unstable creature. born with a weakened bloodline, unable to control her bloodlust or fully harness the power of a true vampire.
Her senses heightened, but her movements were clumsy and her strength lacking. Becoming a mockery of a vampire, a failed experiment that disgusted even the most hardened of her kind.
Disgusted by his creation, Alastor abandoned her fate, leaving her to wander the world without purpose and a sense of belonging.
and just like him, she stumble on him and Obsidian and for the first time have a feeling of what it meant to belong somewhere. with a deep sense of belonging
the bloodmist she is today is also a testament of the magnificent of their god and such being is who is said to be the baby before him.
he rather believe this is a joke than adjust the image mental imagine he has in heart about him.
An Ice Lich clad in ice armor, spoke after a long pondering, his skeletal form exuding an aura of frost and power,
"You speaks with a lack of foresight Earthshaker, the child may indeed be weak now, but it will grow in power. We must nurture it, train it, and prepare it for the day when it will inherit its rightful place as our leader."
"so we are baby sitting a god" Architect cut in sharply, "isn't that just so ironic?"
Obsidian listening in on the heated debate was lost as to how he would address this situation
"I agree with Frost King, his words speaks wisdom. The child is a blank slate, a vessel of immense potential. We can mold it into the leader we need it to be."
A Mist Wraith whose form shifted and shimmered like the mist itself spoken, she is known as Dissolving Mist
"nobody is moulding anything, no one will touch this child. he would grow as he sees fit we are only going to act as guardian and protector" White Guardian rebuked Mist with a protective and sharp tone
"I stand with the White Guardian, the child should be allowed to grow as he sees fit. Obsidian has chosen this child, and we must obey."
The council erupted into chaos, each member expressing their own unique perspective on the situation.
Crimson Bloodmist, watched the chaos unfold with a sense of detached amusement. her eyes gleaming with a mixture of curiosity and joviality
Obsidian skeletal form radiates an aura of ancient power and chilling majesty, raised his hand, silencing the council with a single utterance
"Silence!" he boomed, his voice echoing through the chamber. "I understand your concerns, but I assure you, this child is no ordinary being.
he is the embodiment of our destiny, the key to unlocking our true potential and our stand in this world that slowly encroaching on us.
We must accept him, nurture him, and prepare him for the day when he will ne ready to inherit its rightful place as our leader."
The council fell silent, their gazes fixed on the Obsidian, their faces a mixture of awe and apprehension.
"I beg to differ" just when the situation seems to have come home, one of the envoys who hadn't spoken ever since raised his opinion to differ.
Obsidian turned his gaze towards this dark elf, a bit of animosity laced his his eyes. "and to what ground do you base you rejection on, need I remind you the prophecy of this day"
"you need not Obsidian, I'm well aware of the prophecy that states a leader would be brought to at the time we needed him most and by his hands shall we enstate our rule in this world"
"and you still object" white guardian cut in, her brow arch in annoyance.
"accepting the child as a leader I can pay a blind eyes but accepting him as out god is a totally different issue all together.
we all here know of the struggle of power between the us higher up, it's going to be Enerk soon where the position of leadership would be opening to all
just like it has been generally agreed and you just want to use this child as a way to cling on to power and remain in rule"
once again chaos erupt in the hall as the group split in three immediately, some taking Obsidian side, others behind the dark elf and the likes of bloodmist and white guardian taking a neutral stand as long as it has nothing to do with harming the child.
"Welcome to the Obsidian Citadel, my child," he said, his voice a low, resonant hum. "Your journey has just begun."
unbeknownst to them, the child they felt was sleeping is actual listening I on every single conversation.
"guess I can't leave this to sort itself out anymore, I have to make a move an reinstate my position strong and solid" Davis thought to him self
To make a solid and last on impression, there had to be a scapegoat for that since his power isn't strong enough to pull a high scale display and fortunately enough this dark elf seem to fall in line well with this job
Davis activated his power, his eyes flutter as his eyelids slowly rise as if in a slow mo effect, his gaze landing on the elf still arguing with Obsidian with his supporter facing off against the other faction not ready to back down at all.
