VEILA
Who is this guy? Waking up in the middle of nowhere in just my underwear I was quickly ambushed by some unbelievable creatures. Avian Beasts of all kinds flock towards my scent and I scream as I ran for my life.
Even with my voice hoarse and tired from screaming the beasts don't relent. How is any of this possible? Beasts like this are meant to only exist in Beast Realm. How are they here? Or otherwise how am I here? And how are there so much of them at the same place.
After a few minutes of running I'm cornered by a large horde of Cefurns and I turn to to the other side but another horde of Vuntrels are there. There is no means of escape for me as the beasts all circle me. They keep circling me for a while like they were preparing me for something else. Just as the said thing arrives something happens.
Out of nowhere a guy materializes before me. He is the most handsome guy I have seen in my whole entire life. His eyes were a vibrant gold like looking into a pool of angel blood. Chocolatey skin cover his body and face and the most stunning eyelashes beautified his eyes the more. Black hair with golden tips cover his hair and even though they looked tussled it just gave him a cool look. Standing at around 6'1 he towered above my 5'11 height. Well sculpted muscles filled every corner of his body and I know this was not gotten in a gym. Rock hard abbs covered his chest area and my mouth watered at the idea of touching that skin.
Like I haven't seen enough he does the impossible. He create a shield made a of pure Maagi that looked unlike anything I have seen. The shield looked like staring at a glass mirror. Pulling out a diamond Maagi core he expertly links the shield to the core and my yes widen. Linking Spells to Maagi core is an advanced skill only people with a deep understanding of pure maagi can do! Who is his boy?
"Hello Princess" he says pulling me out of my stupor and his voices sound as smoom as honey, silky, harsh and smooth. The right balance of a male voice. I wanted to melt into his arms until I heard what he called me. Princess! Who does he thinks he is to call me a Princess! I snap at him and he retorts instantly. He finally let's go and asks if I could fight.
I know what he wants to do, but I told him the truth. I can but I haven't gotten my Tether and even though I can use maagi, i won't be much of help in a fught without one. I'm to get one when I turn 21 and then I can use maagi freely. I only train in the hall because the hall itself is a tether of its own.
To my greatest surprises he pulls a ring out of his space ring and my brains explodes. The runes on the ring, the gems, the shape, the cravings, I have seen them before in the stories dad told me. The Dchentis is a myth among eleves, a weapon of great power, the tether of the great Avatar of myth who possessed all the realm. It is rumoured to bless its user with an extra element of its choice. Currently I posses the earth and plant element and I am used to them, but the idea of a new one intrigued me.
He walks up to me and places the ring on my palm. I wear it after appreciating him and he smiles. He closes his eyes and his body begins to glow a golden hue. Maagi pours out of him as he draws a circle around us with maagi. I recognize the runes on the circle as my eyes widen. The Tether ritual! How does this human boy know one of the most sacred elven rituals. Once the golden circle is formed he opens his eyes and they were glowing brightly it fels like I am staring into the sun.
"Of maagi we are, to Maagi we return, the life seance gives us what we are, we are part of the life essence, and it a part of us. Today we connect our daughter VEILA, to thou life essence, blessed with the elements, guide her, empower her." His voice reverberates round the space as the air electrifies. The wind picks up as we begin to float.
"On this day, she connects to you, and with this ring she remains connected to you for as long as she lives. May the element be with her, may her elements obey her, may Dchentis aid her as she walks the path of light. Today you tether your maagi to the ring of elements!" He yells the final words and I feel a strong pull on the maagi core within me! The lines of the elements within me form and connect to Dchentis, and almost immediately another line from Dchentis connects to my core and power rushes into my blood.
Is this how the ritual feels? It's amazing! The maagi in the air now felt aligned with me, the maagi around me no longer battled those within me! They are in constant balance all ready to heed my command. The rush fades and we slowly land until our feet are on the ground. The golden kigt around the guy died down and the circle disappears.
"How do you know that ritual?" I ask immediately he opens his eyes. He just shakes his head and gives me a stern look.
"We don't have time to chitchat! Now are you ready to fight?" He asks and I could feel the maagi beneath my skin bristling ready for a fight! I can always ask him after we are done here.
"You bet I am" I reply with a huge smike and he waves his hand crumbling the shield letting the battle begin.
SAMAEL
I never really knew why Hestia made me read all the books on rituals. From Elven, to Angelic, to even demonic rituals. I mastered them all but I never really practiced them until today. I quickly perform her ritual and she moves to ask questions which I shut down instantly. We aren't in the roght place for suvh conversations. I let the shield down and instantly the horde pour in.
While I was trying to find out if the girl had Maagi, Fenrir has been taking care of the beasts quietly so they have reduced significantly. I pull a huge boulder out of he mountain, explode it and turn all the debris into spike. I wave my hand and send the spike flying towards the beast. It takes down 10 beasts instantly. The girl stares at me and smiles.
She raises her hands and large root come out of the ground ground. She directs them and they pierce the heart of 5 beasts. Not bad! She waves another hand and half of the mountain collapses on another horde of beasts. You want to show off, I can do that.
I close my eyes and focus on the ice element. I freeze half of the ground before us and she gasps. Ohh you haven't seen anything. From the ground I raise ice spikes that puncytes through the skins of all the beast above those frozen grounds. The moment the ice spikes touch them they all freeze and shatter on impact with the ground. I call this skill the Freeze Spikes.
I open my eyes and the girl stood dumbfounded. Laying dead before us was about 300 Avian Beasts. I know that was a lot of power, but the only thing is because I'm still an A+ Rank it takes 30% of my maagi to do such a juge spell. I have to be careful so I don't deplete further.
She waves her hands and all the debris on the ground around us fly to the sky. With another waves of her hands the cut through the sky cutting multiple monsters down before flying back to float beside her. She cleared about 60 beasts with that move. Finesse hhun? Let's see if you can beat this.
I conjure up a large ball of golden flames. With crazy concentration I manage to shape the flames into a large Eagle and let it free. It moves round shooting flames from its mouth, touching beasts and razing then totally. After about 159 beasts are dead the flames die out and I pant heavily. It was hard holding on to that skill that long. I call it the Eagle of Flames.
For the first time I had an opponent who wanted to show she was better. She waves her hands and a huge waterfall is conjured. I gasp! Impossible. I felt her Maagi and it was only earth and plant she had before the Tether Ritual. She just got this element and she could do such a spell? Powerful.
She releases the wave and it takes a lot of monsters down. Some drown and just as the others start to find a way to fly out I freeze the water and shatter the ice. She smiles at me and we both jump into the air. I remain afloat using the air Element and she remains afloat using roots. I toss 50 Wind Discs and she raises the eartth and smash it together win all the beast within it. I create a tornado and he raises rocks to meet it. We merge the two elements together and let it out. That Rock Tornado alone killed thousands of Beasts. We fall back to the ground. By now my Maagi was already almost fully deleted and with the strain on her face I could see she is feeling the same way. I need to end this now.
"Shield yourself" I say and even though she wanted to argue she does just that! I float into the sky and focus on my pure Divine Maagi. I amass a large amount of it to form a large sphere around me. I release the sphere as a large explosion and it spreads round. The sphere disintegrates every beast it touches leaving only their maagi core behind. I fall to the ground out of fatigue and depleted Maagi. She catches me with a bunch of roots and lays me on the ground safely.
Fenrir who I have been looking for comes bounding towards us yelping loudly. That is weird, why is Fenrir acting like a puppy happy to see its owner. As he rounds the corner heading towards us I see the beast behind him and I loose all control.
With a loud shriek all hell was let loose.
