Pov Lolth:
The tree gathered all its roots and branches and shrank until it was a little shorter than my height. Its body contorted as it took on a more fixed shape. I held its handle and its entire body beca rigid, finally taking on its true form.
Its handle beca tallic with engravings of vines and leaves. The base of the handle beca an inverted triangular crystal. The top of the handle began to form like thin tree branches intertwining until it reached the tip, where the branches split into three, taking on the shape of a spear with the space in the middle empty.
"< Awaken >" ()
The entire space of this place suddenly trembles as drops of blood rise from the ground and particles of light of all colors appear in the air, the drops of blood gather in streams of blood advancing towards the scepter and rising from its base, wrapping around the scepter until reaching the branches that form a spearhead, the blood crystallizes around it becoming a blade while condensing emanating a monstrous amount of murderous intent, 3 red blades in the shape of an inverted diamond form the spear.
The energy particles on the other hand join with those of the sa type as they float until they are above the scepter where they beco liquid light falling like a waterfall on the scepter that absorbs everything like a desert in the middle of the first rain in centuries, with all this natural energy gathered, the empty middle of the spear lights up a spark of light that soon becos intense multicolored flas from where a tree silhouette erges.
"(This is harder than I thought.)" ()
My hand was already charred to the point that my bones were all that was left and vines ca out of the scepter's handle wrapping around the bones of my fingers, the blood blades were glowing as the flas grew violent in the middle of the blades.
"Death death death death death...!!" (Scepter)
"Just like before, nothing has changed..." ()
When I planted this tree I was filled with ideals of protecting those around and nurturing a place to call ho, but in the end every ti I used the scepter only blood was all it knew, only rage and killing intent were what I showed.
Sigh
"< Synchronize >" ()
"The war is over... go back to what you should have always been!" ()
"Kill!!!" (Scepter)
The multicolored flas explode out of the scepter, traveling thousands of kiloters, so much of my body has been burned, but that is not even half of the scepter's power.
My consciousness and Will invade the scepter as I search for its core, the power of the entire tree was flowing in a familiar way, so it did not take long for to find the correct place.
Using my Will to form a bond with the scepter once again, I feel as if part of my Soul has been cut, but I endure the pain as I finish the process.
The flas in the center of the scepter this ti take the form of an Elf who places her hands on my neck, her flas trying to invade my body at the sa ti as the blades of blood twist and pierce my body in the stomach, shoulder and chest.
"Avoiding vital areas, it seems that consciousness is returning." ()
When everything ended in a few seconds, the blood blades beca connected and flowed to the scepter's handle filling the gaps of the plant engraving, the flas in the middle of the scepter diminished and completely took the shape of a multicolored tree while the roots holding my hand returned to the scepter which vibrated for a few seconds before shrinking once more until it beca so small that it fits in the palm of my hand.
"Still not going to say anything!?" ()
"..." (Scepter)
The damage to my entire body began to heal, what should have been instantaneous took dozens of minutes, but my hand still burned as I held the scepter and this ti all the murderous intent was directed at .
Sigh
"The synchronization will take longer than I thought and even then it might not be enough." ()
"(I turned you into this murderous weapon and I turned myself into this, corrupted by lies and deviating from what I believed in.)" ()
"I'm sorry for seeking you out once again..." ()
I wrap my hair and tie it using the scepter like I did in the old days, my hand slowly healed, but my hair was fine, the scepter staying still once more with only its murderous intent directed at .
I look around one last ti at this desolate land, only destruction remained in this place, a stain of pure death from a past that only I rember and will have to carry.
"One last battle for you and , old friend..." ()
------------------
Pov Akatosh:
I was ready for now at any mont, as a Dragon my power is always at its maximum, but even so this is one of the few tis in my entire existence that I doubt if my maximum will still be enough.
"That was just his Soul, wasn't it?" ()
"Yes, his body will not be weaker." (Luci)
I was one of the few who didn't leave the eting place, I dismissed the others to be able to talk to this woman nad Luci.
"That was your true body, you never used an Avatar." ()
"Then why don't you fight if it would help your purpose?" ()
"I can't get more involved than I already have, there are restrictions that I can't talk about and so I count on you to succeed." (Luci)
"No, you just need him to succeed, you're using everyone else just to buy him ti." ()
"Zenos is smart, but he's too young, he hasn't realized it, but I and probably Lolth have too." ()
"We have no chance of winning, do we?" ()
"No, Sarazar doesn't have an Anomalous Core and his body is abnormally resistant even among the Anomalous Dragons, there's simply no weak point in his body to take advantage of and in terms of absolute power he surpasses both of you." (Luci)
"His Soul is the best opportunity, if Zenos wins he can use the Soul as leverage against the body, his Chaos power being the only chance of victory." (Luci)
"Even if he defeats Sarazar, how are we going to deal with the others?" ()
"As I said before, the Dragon Tooth that Sarazar used in the past was made from the strongest Dragon, it was the leader of the Dragons in our universe, it had the ability to strengthen and control them, it was connected to them." (Luci)
"If they defeat the Soul and go to take care of the body, then the effects will spread to the other Anomalous Dragons." (Luci)
"I see..." ()
I turn around and start walking away, I know she won't run away, I know she's not fooling us either, that's because the frustration in her eyes is not sothing that can be faked.
-----------------
Just now, Lolth and I were together waiting.
My attention was focused ahead as the Herald of Zenos advanced, but I couldn't help but notice what Lolth was carrying on her head. The murderous intent of that thing was monstrous. It was most likely so kind of Cursed Weapon.
"It's almost ti. Will you be able to control that thing?" ()
"If I were you, I would try to focus more on myself." (Lolth)
"We'll have to fight together. Don't try to do anything alone. This is your universe at risk. Rember that." ()
"..." (Lolth)
We were both focused, and that's why we didn't miss Hades' actions during that brief conversation. He managed to use Tarzor and Freya to temporarily take over that space for us. When that area expanded to where we were, it was as if a weight had been lifted from my body.
Then ca the Holy Fall of Zenos followed by the others, what worries is not the numbers on our side or theirs, but rather the enemies we had not seen before.
The first Anomalous Dragon was as strong as and he was not the only one, Lolth also noticed and I felt her taking her weapon from her head and squeezing it in her hand.
There were more strong enemies and our side would not be able to hold on for long, I wanted to throw myself into the battle and invade head on, but I knew better that what I would face could be even worse than that.
But Lolth by my side was gritting her teeth and her will to fight was exploding, I do not know if she will be able to just watch her companions and children go head on against death like this.
"You can't go yet, Zenos has to go first, the Soul needs to be isolated before the body interferes." (Luci)
"I KNOW!!" (Lolth)
"(Zenos... I think you better be quick...)" ()
We didn't have to wait long, just as the number of Anomalous Dragons was decreasing, an extrely fast light crossed the battlefield, invading the space behind the Anomalous Dragons before any of them could do anything about it.
Soon Starfire burned around the entire nest while the shadow of a pair of eyes could be seen inside, it took over the space and closed the entrance.
"The ti has co!" ()
Behind us the shadow that was motionless on the ground rises in the form of a Dragon's head with its jaws open, without wasting ti Lolth and I ran inside while Luci stayed behind, her Aura filled with uncontrolled frustration around her.
"DAMN IT!!!" ()
"DODGE!!!" (Lolth)
In front of us, only a wall of energy falls towards us, emanating an endless feeling of hunger and giving goosebumps all over my body, along with a feeling of death.
