39 Chapter 18.3: The Truth Behind The Hood (2/2)
It's long oily black looking eel-like body was covered with white and blood-red coral, leaving the occasional opening for what looked like spikes. Even its faces were covered in coral only giving way for its eyes that were imbedded deep into its skull.
horrified by this Alessia couldn't move, The beast didn't approach the island and roared loudly before lowering its body into the water.
It's mouth… its mouth was completely covered in coral only revealing its razor-sharp teeth when it roared loudly.
*Roooaaaarrr*
The sheer power of the beasts roar created a shockwave that shook the waters and islands around it. Slowly lowering its body into the water it jumped towards the sun one last time,
revealing its entire body, a huge tail with a razor-sharp needle was revealed and something that looked like… ”Legs?!”
She couldn't allow the beast to chase after her, quickly hiding her presence as she went deeper into the island. Alessia found her path blocked off by a huge wall.
looking closer it showed the same symbol that her entrance gate had. Holding up the tile it slowly began budging allowing her to move on towards the rocky area when she quickly found out that she was not the only one of the first for that matter.
The Gate of Lightning opened allowing the hidden talent to venture into the Lands of Thunder. Wherever the hidden talent looked rocks, the ground even the beasts were all charged with lightning. Needing to act fast the hidden talent went onward towards the end of the area, making sure not to agitate the wildlife or to get caught in discharges the hidden talent made it towards the other gate in the time of two days. During this time it was a challenging journey leading to the reveal of a brute metal weapon and light armor, but who could this person be?
When the gate finally opened it looked like it was right next to the watergate Alessia had just passed through. Quickly going into hiding and masking her presence she hoped she wouldn't be found out. The hidden talent looked around and slowly closed in on Alessia.
”Don't be afraid. I am here with only one purpose.”
The hooded person said with a heavy voice.
”thou hid thyself quite remarkable. But alas forgot to hide thou soul energy.
I can't really blame you, as thou are one from another world, like myself.
Please… show thy and allow me to introduce oneself.”
Alessia, rather confused about the situation decided it was best to comply with that the hooded person said, revealing herself to it.
”I am Alessia, one of the summoned ones as you guessed correctly,
who might you be mysterious one?”
The hooded person took off the hood revealing a young blond-haired woman with blood-red skin, firefly green eyes, pointy ears and a horn on the left side of her forehead?
”My name is Ereth of the Ancients, allow me to request help to stop a certain individual.”
Ereth Kneeled down asking for help in the most sincere way she could think of and continued to plead.
”The one you call Gideon is a follower of The Dark Lord a dark elemental being with immense powers, he uses black magic to take over minds and even enslave the dead to his will. I Ereth Thross was sent by my superiors to seek help and end the onslaught of this highly dangerous vessel of his. You see Gideon has been sent to find usable containers for its power and it seems they tend to use this tournament to find one such opportunity.”
It became apparent to Alessia that Ereth wasn't dangerous or at least no to her,
She decided to team up and search for others to join the cause. Finding Cordelia and Leonardo in the process. Allowing all to speak to each other they too join up and quickly make their way towards the central arena.
