Rise Of A Fallen God 44 A Piece Of History

Bewildered by what his eyes are witnessing Elder Hanson falls back onto the ground as he watches the twenty year old youth refine the pill with such ease, never has he seen such a simple method of refinement and extraction yet right now that is the case. Not even ten minutes pa.s.s before the bright green light no longer s.h.i.+nes under the cauldron, Elder Lloyd has seen low level refiners but after coming with Iris and Ivy to live in the Capital he has always thought this was what higher level Pill refiners were capable of. Now that he is looking at the amazed face of Elder Hanson he rethinks everything he once thought about it, he was thinking he should tell Hanson that while Nathaniel has this Divine Earth Flame the others have lower ranked ones as well just not now.

"Is there a need to be so surprised Elder Hanson? Most of the Pill refiners are taught this method by the Empresses after Three Suns discovered an ancient underground Kingdom that focused its civilization around Pill refinement. We even rebuilt and resettled the Kingdom in the past 5 years." Said Elder Lloyd as he helped Hanson back to his feet.

Hanson being given all this information is at a loss of how to feel, this Empire seemed to be creating a monster of a major power while not even hiding things away, from what he saw the Empire has always actively sought out more refiners and weapon smiths. Taking a look at the youth who is examining his completed work with a smile he further puts his faith in this decision to join the Dragon Empire, looking behind Nathaniel he spots one of the new Elders of the Dragon Clan Jill. Following Elder Hanson's distracted gaze Nathaniel smiles bright.

"She was the one who asked if we could help you Elder Hanson, while I have to admit she is a beauty even when compared to the Empresses so I did my best to search for a way to expand your lifespan. In doing so I was finally able to pa.s.s Lady Rose's test, she gave me the t.i.tle of 'Medical a.s.sistant' but from the notes of the Fallen Ash Kingdom I should be a Pill Master I believe you refer to it as Pill G.o.d! for now I will go with Pill G.o.d. The Emperor has always told me to seek out power and while my abilities for fighting may lack behind Timothy and Three Suns the sound of Pill G.o.d is indeed a powerful sounding name to have." Nathaniel said pa.s.sing the vial of Spirit Grade Focus pills to the stuned Elder.

"I will forever remember this young Pill G.o.d! If you need me to a.s.sist you in anything feel free to request of me, Hanson Walker." Clutching the freshly made pills Hanson can still feel its warmth and its fragrance which reminds him of spring.

Looking at the youth talk to Jill with a radiant smile he walks away knowing he was the one who received a helping hand from a man in love, who in turn helped the girl he loves save her aging father. Watching the girl he raised and protected for so long he notices she no longer has the look of someone who is constantly on guard fearing death every day or night, he takes the pills and leaves the young to their own devices as he and Elder Lloyd chat about the past as they exit the Pavillion.

Bright Star - Blood Sun Border

Rus.h.i.+ng in and out of the newly built border palace that houses the leaders of the coalition against the Dragon Empire, Ghost make their reports before merging with shadows and returning to their post.

Inside the Palace a few Elders from the Violet Star Clan within one of the halls discussing plans of invasion into enemy territory feel the spatial ripples around them turn tense, as a tunnel forms before them they no longer expected other Elders from the Clan as none of them could ever perform such a feat. Walking out of the tunnel is Gold l.u.s.ter with a group of 12 behind him, spotting the Violet Clan Elders he walks towards then before sitting in a manifested chair of gold he created.

"I knew you would still plan to attack them, so I brought bit of help to deal with his army they might not be on my level of power but they should be able to delay Dashnell's forces long enough for me and my two allies to kill him. Once we take Dashnell out we can raze his Empire to the ground along with its people to join him in the after life" Said Gold his face twisted in hate.

The Violet Clan elders not wanting to anger Gold simply nod their heads to his commands, as they then call for the Ghost to report to the Clan Leader about the arrival of Gold and his group. The Bright Star Alliance Elders upon hearing about Gold and his capabilities from Clan Leader Violet Storm begin to have faith in facing off against the Dragon Empire. Over the few months after forming this alliance they along with the other Continents forces have been repeatedly wiped out.

losing contact with their forces time after time weakened their confidence in being able to resist the Dragon Empire once it began to make its move against the lands outside of Blood Sun.

....

Gold has been on the border waiting for the Alliance to finalize its plans of advance but he was able to tell that they were hesitant to start the war, looking down at their Generals he spots a strange aura one of them possess. As a smile creeps across his face he scans this General to find out his guess was correct this is General has the blood of Dashnell within him, he then jumps up to his feet terrifying the Elders within the room who expected to be reduced to dust like those who long ago disrespected him when he first came to the Clan Claiming to be a G.o.d of Destruction.

Making a grabbing motion to seize the young General Gold extends his hand, only to find the enemy he wished to kill gripping his hand as he stands completely uninjured in front of him.

"We meet again Gold. I can't allow you to bully my son, this was a mission his mother sent him on as we set up in the Blood Sun Continent. Seems our plan to take over a large part of their forces will have to be rushed now, why are you always making things so hard for me." Dashnell said shaking his head with a teasing smile.

Unable to free himself from Dashnell's grip Gold understands Teressa has truly completed the Bond with him, thinking it was the reason for his sudden increase in power. He began to panic thinking he would die.

"Why.. Why did I come back to this tiny planet when I just barely lived our last encounter! Spare me I will no longer cause trouble for you the other G.o.ds even ignored me when I requested their aid, so you don't have to worry about them helping this planet resist you!" Gold Said no long willing to put his life on the line when he notices both G.o.ds of Creation pleading with him to not resist, telling him that they can't use even a ounce of their power as it seems it has been sealed. He knows they speak the truth as he also finds his power sealed away by a force beyond the realm of G.o.d of Destruction.

Hearing Gold ask for his life the group he brought with him retreat a few steps back, they know how powerful Gold is yet right now they can feel his fear of death as he struggles to free himself from the arm grip. Everyone in the room wanting to flee feel as if they were now held in place by an invisible force, looking at the others in the room they find a few have already tried to run away as they stand their frozen in place facing the exits. Dashnell smiles as he releases his hold on Gold before explaining to him his conditions of 'peace'. Gold tenses up as Dashnell surrounds the two in a isolation barrier as he starts to talk about the Blessing of Destruction.

.....

Dashnell then tells him about the origins of the Blessings of both Creation and Destruction having a origin. Dashnell even Claimed to be the Origin of Destruction and that all G.o.ds of Destruction only possess a fraction of his past lives power that he lost during his battle against the created beings the strongest G.o.d of Creation manifested in her state of madness, stating that she is also the Origin of Creation. That only when he was about to take her life was he able to determine that if he carried out with his attack to finish her off his future sight showed him that all life in creation would cease to exist, besides him as he is the Origin of Destruction, even most of the other True G.o.ds failed to escape fading away after he claimed her life. As Gold keeps replaying the information Dashnell pa.s.sed to him in his mind he keeps wanting to deny it, that a being he would have no chance against exist sealed away in the Void.

"I must seek out the older G.o.ds to see if this is true or did he show me altered memories... No he showed me his memories everything I witnessed was real enough for me to feel it as if I was there myself. True G.o.ds! So we are so weak that we can only hold a fraction of his or her power within us, he also did not kill me because he does not want to lose a piece in the war to come. I will become stronger then! Just wait Dashnell even if it's a fraction I will make this power my own!!"

Gold l.u.s.ter moving through his s.p.a.ce tunnel with his 12 helpers behind him makes his way to the Elder G.o.ds of this Realm once more, the young G.o.ds who have yet to pick the path of Destruction or Creation follow behind him unable to speak to him as he has ignored them for the past few days as he seemed deep in thought.
