Chapter VII: The Eternal Blessed Sacrifice (2)
We had covered a great distance and were about to retire to our quarters when the High Warrior came out of his tent with a message from His Lord Feroxi, the shadow guild were in a nearby village planning to open a portal that would allow specters from the shadow world come out and pollute the atmosphere to harm the vitality of the grove and weaken it, hereby giving them a chance to uproot the tree, bringing about the end of all mortals and immortals alike. At once, we all took up our gear, got on our horses, took our magical pets/companions, and rode even faster than the wind with the blessing of the god of war following us. On getting to the village nothing out of the ordinary appeared to be happening, but since the message came from FEROXI we didn't let our guards down and settled immediately into the down blending in as part of the villagers, we contacted all spies who were acting as traders, random villagers and even local soldiers to be on the guard, but unknown to us the battle had already begun we just couldn't see it.
I and Haylie a sister of the last born went to the temple of AMARAN to get some potions that may be needed during our stay when we noticed a kind of chilly atmosphere few meters from the temple of AMARAN, I could identify that chill anywhere and anytime, specters from the shadow world were around and they were not the regular kind there was something more sinister about this ones. We rushed into the temple and from nowhere I felt a hit and my sword slid from my hands I called out to Haylie, with godly skills she evaded our invisible assailant and struck it slicing it into two, a specter falling to the ground before vanishing away it was then we realized that the battle had long begun, our enemies had already fulfilled most of their plans. We were not just facing specters and heretics, but they were all invisible. We ran as fast as our legs could take us so as to deliver the message to the High Warrior, The First of The Last Born, on getting to our quarters and relaying the message all of us at once headed up to the nearest mountain so as to call on FEROXI and AMARAN for their blessings and empowerment to see beyond the veil of the physical world. The High Warrior told us that the blessings of the gods were a privilege that were not to be abused, he had already before gotten the blessings of most of the gods and could see beyond the mortal veil, but since this battle could not be fought by 1 man alone we all had to acquire this ability. So we embarked on our journey to a desolate place because to invoke on the powers of the gods we needed no distraction and a place with sufficient energy, Kylebradd the high warrior began to call on FEROXI while a prominent priest of AMARAN began to call on him also when they were done silence was what ensued before a bright light shone and we all went on our knees, an avatar of FEROXI and AMARAN had descended into our midst.
