200 Enlightenment Of Dash (1/2)
Elric, using his spiritual perspective, have long seen Dash coming his way more than two minutes ago. Even right now, he could tell the position of the other Elders and the hidden Guardian guards watching him from behind the walls.
Soon enough, Dash arrived with an anxious look on its turtle face.
”Let him in.” Elric requested to the Guardian Elder and the latter quickly nodded before sending a telepathic message to the Guardians outside.
”I know Elric is inside because I can feel his aura. What did you do to him?” Dash, who is currently as big as the Guardian ship itself asked with a threatening voice.
”He is waiting for you inside. Please follow me Mr. Overwhelmingly Mighty Glorious Dash.” The soldier replied promptly before the opening the entrance door.
Hearing his self-titled name being spoken by a stranger, Dash felt an unexpected pride swelling up to his giant heart. However, he remained vigilant as he slowly transformed back to a smaller version and followed the Guardian soldier inside.
Soon enough, Dash saw Elric standing on a dimensional door together with an incredibly tall Guardian.
The moment he laid his eyes on the Head Elder, Dash felt an unexpected calmness but wariness in front of the Guardian in long white clothes. In other words, he could feel at peace before the latter but he also does not want to mess with it. He could see an intimidating eye and overflowing mental energy emanating from its head. A sign of an incredibly powerful psychic being.
But remembering Dash's purpose for coming he hurriedly flew before Elric's face.
”Hugon Kid, I am afraid I cannot stay any longer here in the human realm. Moments ago, I felt the call of the Elemental God.”
”You mean the Elemental bastard?” Elric said remembering how he almost got trapped inside the Toray, the destructive connecting space between different dimensions.
”You've met him?” Dash inquired.
”Not just 'met' him. It was more than that. I fought with him on my way to the Earth Elemental Realm. He felt like I was threatening the balance of the Elemental realm and had to eliminate me. But the bastard is friggin weak and just when he was about to lose, he power tripped me by forcing me out of the Elemental Realm and sending me to the Toray.” Elric explained his hatred towards the God of the Elemental Realm.
Listening to him, the Head Elder Guardian could not hide his shock.
'Did he say he fought against the God of the Elemental Realm? And he had been to the Toray?! That extremely destructive space in between the dimensions!? So was he just pulling his punches all this time?' The Head Elder thought in a series of questions.
As much as he wanted to ask his questions, right now is a perfect time to gather more intelligence from the beings that had gone to the elemental realm. After all, as beings in pursuit of absolute knowledge, every single word that Elric and Dash muttered is extremely important for his calculations in the future.
With more variables revealed, the more accurate his calculations will become, and the easier it is for him to anticipate future events!
”No wonder why I cannot find you there,” Dash said with an enlightened face before adding, ”To tell you the truth, a day after you left, the whole Elemental realm was in utter chaos.”
”What do you mean?” Elric asked with a curious face.
”Apparantly, the God of the Elemental Realm summoned all of the Elemental Lords.”
”And that includes the Great Seer Mhata and the rest of those Lords I haven't met...” Elric mumbled.
”Yes. At first, I thought it was just for a formality so I went to the proclaimed meeting place - the Dark Water planet. The matrix of Elemental passageways. However, when I got there in a form of a small turtle to not stand out at all, aside from the Elemental Lords, I saw a bunch of mysterious beings that I haven't seen before. They were surrounding two Eastern Dragons that are bound in indestructible lightning chains a top on a certain wide table. For some reason, it looked like a sacrificial ceremony to me.”
”The Outsider. Those mysterious figures could probably be them. The people are responsible for everything that has happened.The wars in the Elemental Realm, the fall of the Eastern Dragon race, my rampage, and everything else... Te” Elric muttered as glanced at the Head Elder nodding understandably.
Then Elric, looked back at Dash, ”Tell me more.”
”I saw an old woman the closely resembles how you look when I first met you. Do you, by any chance know her?” Dash added in question.
”That was my grandma,” Elric said with a tightening fist. ”But the soul inside that body is not my real grandma, rather, it is my distant ancestor who happens to be a powerful spiritualist from the Realm of Light.”
”Your grandma? And a powerful spiritualist is controlling it inside? But why was she there? And how come it seems like the rest of the mysterious figures are closely acquainted with her?”
”Because she is part of them.”
”Your one controlling your grandma?”
”Yes, and not just her. I think every other Elemental lord is also part of their big conspiracy. And the one leading them could be the Great Seer Mhata, under the command of the Emperor.” Elric revealed his thoughts according to his deductions.
