He held me like he thought he had lost me as soon as he had saved me.
{I tried to see if you were breathing! But as I pulled out, that white stuff started to flow out… It smelled like me and there was so much … so I thought if I got me out then you would wake up!}
He slid a hand down my arm to support the gem hand as I saw my gem now had a blue ring surrounding golden flames look to it.
{I did not know it would be painful enough for you to scream and cry like that!}
"It's fine now! The Admin Process is to blame! That was like golden melted lava in the Admin Domain Space that followed me outside!"
He brought the gem to his lips as he kissed it better.
{Next time… I will not lose consciousness!}
'Next time?' Face flushed as it dawned on me on how I'm supposed to replenish the Security Energy.
The foundation and the bed broke apart as everything on it disappeared with a crack. Lifting me up he started to head to the second level.
{We will rest in my room! It is more… Private than out here! Sleep well, my Admin!}
Reassured it was safe my body dozed off to actual sleep as my eyes pulsed with a dull pain.
Shadurel looked down at the sleeping girl as he remembered the process very vividly. Looking at a new skill option he sliced his hand forward as four replicas of him appeared all in different colored armor.
Red was in fiery black demonic armor with intricate lava veins.
Blue was in a soft blue sleek aquatic style armor.
Yellow was in sharp layered scaled armor like layered gold scales.
Green was in green scales layered like a furry ghillie suit.
They saluted him and joined in his walk to his room where he laid the new Admin to rest on his personal bed. Covering her up with a furred blanket and donning his black cargo pants again, he turned h
is attention to the armored copies.
Red with a closed fist salute to his chest: [White! It is good to see you again!]
Yellow looked past him to the sleeping Admin: [It seems like the Original Admin is home again!]
Blue rubbed his neck: [Those Hacks are a pain in the arse!]
Green just crouched looking at the collection of Dinos: [So which one are you going to give her as a personal pet?]
Shadurel sighed, [I'll let her decide after she gives you names!]
The four looked at him confused.
Shadurel waved his hand, [She can't call us all the same name now can she?]
Blue raised his hand: [Can we name ourselves?]
[I don't see why not!] Shadurel replied as he pulled up a map of the surface.
Red asked while looking over his shoulder: [Whatcha doing?]
With a growl he replied, [Looking for that friend of hers who tried to take advantage of her!]
With a Hunt in mind all five began to radiate menacing auras.
Rengar felt a chill in the air as he finished gathering materials. It's been chilly for the past few hours as if something important has occurred.
No messages had come through or even updates from the others before him. He seemed more sluggish as if his body was becoming hard to move.
Taking a look at his screen he noticed that most of the glitched patches had been fixed, but the buff of the dinos seeing him as one of theirs was still there!
Feeling more exhausted Rengar made his way to a small cave where none but the smaller creatures could kinda fit. Believing that a rest would fix everything since he hadn't resetted yet, he thought that was why he was sluggish.
as he was about to fall asleep a warning notice flashed before him.
[DON'T FALL ASLEEP OR IT WILL TAKE OVER!]
Confused, he took a look at his gem again, only to find his entire hand was the same crystal as his gem was.
He booked it out of his little cave with all his might!
Only to not move very far as his legs had also turned into crystal claws! He could move his crystal limbs like there was nothing wrong, if not for that warning… he wouldn't even know something had changed!
An eerie abyssal voice echoed from deep within him, one that made his consciousness fight for domination.
"Key! We Need The Key! I… I Need The Key!"
The only key Rengar knew of was his old friend.
"Zaarraa!"
"Weee… I… Need… Zaarraa!"
Rengars mind started to shatter as the crystal grew with eerie precision and speed.
Crystal formations broke through his skin, his hands and feet turned into claws and his face distorted with crystal razor sharp teeth and ruby red gems with a black flame as eyes.
Engulfing his being as fuel to grow, devouring his memories as it went.
Zara was all he could think about, how she looked stunning with that long white hair, as his consciousness got devoured his body finished transforming.
Rengar now looked like a nine foot tall bipedal crystalline werewolf with more of a human head, spiky teeth, and eerie ruby eyes whose black flames looked hungry.
As a dino mosied its way in front of the entrance, it got pierced by an invisible claw coated in blood as it dragged it inside to eat.
The eerie ruby eyes stared in the direction of the skid marks as it rumbled unconsciously,
"Zaarraa! Heeeelp! Meee!"
Closing its eyes, it crystalised the entire small cave, as it cocooned itself to finish its evolution.
[That's weird.] Shadurel mumbled. [It says here that he got Erased… but not by what killed him]
Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green still in their armors were busy calling random names for each other with a snap of their fingers like it was a good idea…
[Rojo!]
[River!]
[Grass!]
[Sunshine!]
Shadurel shook his head knowing the names she'll pick would be more common sense then those four.
Looking at the little powwow spot right outside the door he began to wonder if she even remembered her life before the one she knew before coming back here.
[Hey White!]
[What does she call you?]
Closing his screen he looked over with a smug face. [Shadurel, is what she calls me!]
[But that's nowhere near what you are!?]
Shadurel cocked his head to the side. [Names don't need to describe what you are! They are like identification that others who are close like siblings and or mates can use to identify or find you or vice versa!]
The four poundered his words with their heads down.
[Her name is Zara!] Shadurel said pointing a finger towards the sleeping Admin. [To get her attention in a crowd or to call for her if you lost her, you'd have to call her name to notify that she is the specified target of conversation or rescue. Otherwise she will ignore what is said thinking that she is not included or it's not her you're looking for!]
Red half raised a hand and asked. [So if we split guard duty and she wants or needs something, she can name who she is asking or ordering around. Is that Correct?]
[Yes!] Shadurel said with a smile as rustling and sad whimpering noises came from the room, the five held up their gem hands to their chests and disappeared in a beam of their color, leaving the second floor darker than it was with them there.
The giant doors from the lava-fall cracked open as an army of beady red eyes glistened with delight.
The raptors attacked first though quickly became confused as there was nothing there to attack.
Soon the sounds of flesh ripping apart followed by gurgled cries as the raptors drowned in their own blood.
The other dinosauruses, now alert to the smell of the blood of their comrades on the claws on the unseen, had a focus point for attack as a one sided slaughter occured on the main floor.
The Elemental Drakes also became invisible on the ceiling as they watched the young ones dying rather quickly. Noticing multiple red hungry eyes that searched every nook and cranny bottom to top for something made them uneasy.
creeping along the railing to the upper floor the Elemental Drakes worked together to wrap and load the small admin into the mouth of their leader.
Now cradled safely in thick furry blankets between the jaws of the Alpha Elemental-Drake made them wag their tails happily as they left the room via a ventilation crack in the ceiling.
The five colors of Shadurel appeared in the Admin Domain ready to defend the dome, only to see nothing attacking the dome, even though the dome flashed all over like it was being attacked.
Getting closer they lowered their guard and saw Zara huddled with her back on the pedestal, hands over her ears, rocking against the pedestal, and her head buried in her knees.
"They're everywhere! They're not here! They're not here! They're not here!" Zara cried as she continued to rock, unknowing that the Shadurel guards arrived.
As they surrounded the dome cautiously, the attack flashes stopped and an eerie silence fell.
{Zara?} White Shadurel tapped on the dome. {You ok?}
Zara abruptly stopped rocking as if poundering to look up. Carefully rereading the message Zara opened her eyes and looked for Shadurel. The faint blue around her irises began to glow like fire surrounded by golden light as she saw something terrifying.
Her breath got caught in her throat as the platform was surrounded by hundreds of crystallized werewolves with grinning beady red eyes.
They moved out of the way as White Shadurel made his way up the platform and some began to follow behind or in between the others legs as they got closer.
Fear gripped Zara as they did nothing to the enemy.
{Hey! Let us in, will you?}
The text was him but the crystalized crowd were ready to pounce the moment there was even a flicker in the shield.
"N-not u-until you get, get rid of Them!" Zara said as she pointed to below their knees and in a circle, "Can't You See Them!?" She cried as they looked around and saw nothing.
{Admin… There is nothing here… Are you alright?}
She stared at the laughing red eyes. Their laugh was like shattered glass that echoed everywhere.
Covering her ears and her eyes she pleaded, "Make Them Stop! PLEASE!"
The laughter started to die down as she cracked an eye at the five guards with tears streaming down her face. Taken aback at this new face of their Admin they began to search for intruders… but still found nothing!
Moving her fearful eyes down she became confused, "Where did they go?" Feeling multiple warm heavy breaths around her as something wrapped tightly around her as it grew snuggly warm with something hard against her side.
Hands frantically banged on the dome getting their attention as she yelled, "WHERE IS MY BODY? SOMETHING HAS MY BODY! I CAN'T WAKE UP!"
Something dawned on them as four of them suddenly disappeared leaving the Green Shadurel in a scaled ghillie suit in the Admin Domain.
"I… know… you… don't I?" Zara whispered.
The Green one just nodded as it grew in size and laid down cradling the dome leaving no room for anything to get past him.
"What are you doing?" As the light in the dome darkened to a shade of soft green.
A deep voice boomed as quietly and softly as possible given his size, "Guarding you, like I swore an oath to do, all those eons ago!"
"But you can't see them! None of you could see them! I'm not crazy! They Were Here!"
He sighed heavily, "What… Did you see?"
"They were like werewolves made of crystal with dark red hungry eyes!" Zara shivered in fear as his green eyes glowed under his ghillie helmet as he watched her, "They were right there! They almost broke through! They were so close to everyone! And no one noticed!"
He said calmly, "Now they have to crawl on me to reach you! So even if I can't see them, I Will Feel Them! Rest now, Admin, I got this watch!"
Safety flooded over her as she pondered with no one to read her thoughts, 'Shadurel doesn't use conjoined words, he can't speak either… who is this one?'
