Looking at the blood red portal in front of him, Drake took the first step towards a new beginning , walking through the other side, the sight in in front of him truly was a baffling one, in a dim room illuminated by candles, a group of black robed individuals not only mention the barely conscious girl lying on the floor looking at him with fear, he could practically smell the fear coming from her.
If this body could express emotions, he would have already cried in shock, surprise and even fear, panning his gaze across the room, he focused on black robes figures and strangely from them he could sense some fear but that was overshadowed by the excitement, happiness and admiration, before he could say or do something.
They all went down on one knee, yelling "My lord"
Seeing this, drake wasn't feeling anything but he did realise they were referring to him, without any care he walked forward, towering over them as he asked. " who are you?"
…
'He looks even more beautiful than I imagined not a single imperfection and his mana it's out of this world.' Ivor, the leader was almost in tears as happiness flooded him. Looking at the being in front of him the only word that could describe him is-
Demonic
His almost 2 meter tall figure was majestic, his pale skin was glowing with power, his long blood red hair flowed perfectly down his back, looking like fine strands of molten lava, contrasting with his pale skin and his eyes,Ivor could barely meet his gaze as his deep black eyes felt like an unforgiving abyss that would swallow you up if you gazed too long and in this dim room it was especially terrifying, but the most prominent feature in his appearance, is the big horns on his forehead, black in colour, they curved back, looking menacing and majestic at the same time.
"My lord, we are called Ego and our only goal is to bring peace and change to this world, and we can't do that alone, we beg you to lend us your power." Ivor with his head down pleaded.
…
'I just arrived here and this human is already wants to use my powers for his own selfish desires, I just wish to leave a peaceful life not distracted by fleshly desires and based on the little information given to me by that being, this world is very different from earth so I can explore and look for a place to settle down.' Drake processed the words of the man and quickly came into a conclusion. "I refuse." Those words were simple but they caused Ivor to tremble from the shock and from rage.
"My lord, I don't understand, the divine scripture stated that you would descend to this and put an end to the reign of the goddess, you were meant to help us purify this world so I don't understand when you say you refuse." Ivor could barely hold himself from shouting as he felt complex emotions, only he knows the sacrifices, the time and the resources he spent to make sure the summoning was a success, so many life's were lost to make this a success, in fact the nine people In this room is all that's left of Ego, the journey to find and decipher the divine scripture really took a toll on them, not to mention the fact of capturing the bishop alive, so his emotions could be understood.
"I said I refuse, do you take me for a fool, thinking I would help you just because you said so, this world, I will find my peace, I have no desire to save or change it." Drake was not changing his stance he has no desire to involve himself in human affairs for he is no longer human.
"If that's the case, then you leave me no choice ." Ivor said as a purple orb with a swirl of darkness in the centre appeared in his palm.
