Chapter Text
"Very well, when I am done with you, you will be the fastest there ever was." Aphoroul agreed to this wish.
"Wait." Brugaves interrupted. "I had a requirement for summoning the blood moon." Now burgaves struggled to say this. After all if Aphoroul didn't agree he could have been killed.
"And that would be?"
"I want to have Zale and Valere to come with me." He couldn't just abandone them. The two young solstice warriors where visibly taken aback. Zale taking a step infront if Valere, and Valere gripping her staff tighter.
Aphoroul tilted his head considering these terms. Due to his and reshans terms he could only touch the solstice warriors once, so he wouldn't get to have any fun. However on the other hand his most powerful dweller wouldn't be alive without the two.
"Very well." Aphoroul said this with a heavy sigh. Clearly reluctant to give up his fun, but he did promise to grant their wishes.
*Valere pov*
What was going on! Why would brugaves do this! If he wanted to betray the order he could but why try to drag me and Zale along!
Those where the thoughts running through Valeres head as she watched Aphoroul chuckle. She was helpless there was no way she or zale could take him like this and Re'shan wouldnt be any help.
*Re'shan pov*
She glares at the alchemist. Who just pretended he didnt mind. Re'shan couldnt do anything or risk Aphoroul poisoning other worlds. He closed his eyes and turned away.
He ignored the sound of flesh like tenticals splitting through the earth. Seraï and Garl shouting at him to help. Valere and Zale yelling, screaming, afraid. Those he claimed he was friends with.
He opened his eyes checking to see how much things escalated, and was met with a wall of red fire. Erlinas force field.
Garl was throwing everything he could at the wall of flames, ramming into it in an attempt to break through. Seraï seemed to be about to portal, Re'shan grabbed her arm
"Don't. They will kill you, you might be immortal physically but enough damage to your torso and you won't be able to function." Seraïs eyes widened in shock before remembering Re'shan had watched every universe.
*Zale pov*
The flesh tentacles wrapped around him and valere prying them away from garl and seraï. Much to zales dismay. He felt panic and tears welling up. He couldnt even get his arms free from the fleshy coils.
they constricted around him, he could barely hear anything over his heartbeat and panic. Even so he could hear Valere throwing every curse word at their attacker.
Valere why! Why of all things! Why do you choose cursing at the most powerful being at the universe! Not only that but that being already was angry!
And then he watches in horror as Valere decided to BITE down on the tentical holding her captive. To Zales surprise it did drop her.
However he also heard a growl of pain from Aphoroul. His eyes widen in fear for the girl he grew up with causing his own body to heat up to abnormal heats.
Perks of being born on the summer solstice ment his body created much more heat then the average human, especially when emotional.
This caused the tentical around him to loosen as well just enough for his hand to grasp his sword.
