Alex's POV,
It was the following morning and I sat within my inner Chambers musing about the treasure I heard about last night, Bhok mentioned a Tablet with strange words written on it. His father the Chief, uses the tablet to study powerful word magic. This pricked my interest and so I began making plans on how I can get my hands on it.
If my guess is correct, then what's recorded on it, is most likely sacred orders, numbering two or three from what Bhok mentioned. but again, he might be exaggerating.
putting that aside, this morning I continued my quest to understand this green energy and then a thought came to me, "why don't I ask Ayaseh directly?, as her champion, I have a direct connection to her".
After making a decision, I tried to recollect the scene of how the antagonist prayed to her, back in the book but I found that, it was inconsistent.
So I decided that I will come up with my own way or wordings.
"Great mother of the Moon, guardian of the abyss, protector of souls, witness me in my time of need. Sustain me with your power so I might make the right choice. I plead this of you in your divine presence, grant me guidance as...".
"took you long enough" a female voice suddenly cut me off and I could only open my eyes. a smoky green transparent figure had appeared within my Chambers and judging from it's shape, it was obviously female.
Who else could it be, besides Ayaseh herself. She took her time looking around as I said,
"didn't know you were expecting my prayers, if I did, I would have prayed a long time ago."
Hearing my words, she said nothing and sat on the only bamboo chair in the room.
"I didn't know, your kind could supply faith... recently I have been receiving this odd amount of faith and which was never there before, now I know it from your territory" Amused, nodded for a while before turning towards me with a 'well?' expression.
Without wasting time, I went straight to the point, after all it's the way she liked to do things, "your power, the dark green energy... I've tried to use and study it but to know avail. I wanted to know if I am getting something wrong".
"hmm, that's strange... you should be able to use it, after all you haven't had any problems using Divine energy before." She muttered thoughtfully,"unless you can only use neutral Divine energy? even still..."
She stayed silent for a while before grumbling something about not doing this before and then said, "First you have to understand what falls Under my authority"
"Darkness, Souls?" I questioned even though I knew that was the answer.
"yes and Dominance"
"Dominance?"I asked and She responded with a teasing tone, "Yes, control over those tainted".
Her words then reminded me of what happened to the novel's antagonist, who was forced to be her champion. luckily she's not the kind that abuses this power, in fact I can say that not many Gods might know about it.
I intended asking about how to use this power but she cut me off saying, "the effects and uses of a God's Divine Mana or grace differs from person to person, so in most cases, you have to come up with your own style or you learn from your predecessor. in your case, You're the first sooo... Good luck"
With that, she laughed loudly like some cartoon villain before disappearing, leaving me with a dumbfounded expression.
"Brother, Moz says she has done what you asked and...if she should bring it into the village" Urim's voice came from the other side of the door.
"Finally... we'll go to her" I responded while opening my door. I had asked the shadow Orc to get something 'special' from the Greyeye clan, considering Greyeye was on white mountain...'looks like she found one'.
As soon as I stepped out of the Manor, I yelled "Alpha!". and almost immediately a slight commotion broke out from the direction of the storages.
Awooo!!
Amused, I waited for a bit and with a timely jump, I mounted the Ghost wolf without pause. Urim was the same, everyones proficiency in riding the wolves has seen significant improvements over time.
Looking at Urim's wolf that looked somewhat bigger than alpha now, I couldn't help thinking 'Suits him'.
A small competition broke out between the wolves as they ran out of the village but it didn't last long, we soon spotted Moz on her wolf, waiting ahead while stroking it's fur.
"My Chief..." She saluted.
"was there any complications?" I asked.
"A small one but it's taken care of" She responded with a small smile.
'She's getting more and more expressive now, but why smile over someone's death?...' I couldn't help laughing in my mind while having such thoughts.
"where is he?" I finally added.
"not too far ahead, it took me a long time to find someone close to Malu and the Chief like you asked but..."
hearing her pause, I couldn't help inquiring, "But what?".
"One was Greyeye Little Chief, too strong for me, the other was this Greyeye slave master...weak".
Now I understand, looks like the Greyeye clan isn't so simple and this slave master should be very important in the clan. While we discussed, we didn't stop our movement.
"My Chief, this Slave master might be a problem...what do you need him for?"Urim finally spoke as he had come to understand the whole situation.
"We need to know more about Greyeye, we know Blood horn clan but not Greyeye clan, now that the two of them are suspected to be discussing...we need to know more" I explained as he was going to see it anyways.
Not long after, we were amongst trees and had just crossed the tree line. below what looked like a mutated pine tree, the body of a fat Hobgoblin was tied up and stuffed in the mouth.
Dressed in an attire that looked like the skin of blue scaled python. that creature is a first circle magic beast and this fatty had it on so casually.
That means, the Greyeye clan must either have a relationship with humans or they have a good Crafter, obviously this one wasn't enchanted like I had initially thought, it only delivered basic defense. but even still, that meant a lot...I suspect they might be more economically advanced than my Blackmoon clan.
While in thought, Urim and Moz dismounted quickly. The sound alerted the fatty and he was startled, Embarrassed he yelled at Moz "You!! Filthy swine!, do you know what you are doing?!!!".
Bam!
Urim slapped the fool from the side and he froze immediately after having a tooth knocked out. I watched all this from above Alpha and then chose to add pressure by having Alpha move closer while growling threateningly.
I then looked at his stats,
[Name: Brogg 'the Slaver' Greyeye]
Race: Hobgoblin warrior
Level: 21(Order of the second circle)
Power rating: 9200
Relationsh.i.p.s: Slave master of the Greyeye clan, Blood horn clan traitor, Oath breaker of the blood horn clan.
Alignment: Neutral Evil ]
Looking at his stats, I turned to Moz for a second and couldn't help laughing, "good good good... this is just perfect, Oath Breaker."
Hearing my words, Brogg froze...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
