37 Evolution Task (2/2)
agreed during their meeting. Rahz still managed to get some cash even
though he exchanged that weird looking tooth for his share of the profit of
the first 6th rooms, and in his eyes he got a steal as the real cash came
from the last 5 rooms with the iron ore. Since he couldn't wear the Iron Ore
necklace, the deep violet tooth was a great substitute.
When Rahz got home his parents were in the middle of dinner and the
smell of the wonderful home cooking made his stomach growl. As soon as
he came into the house he made a beeline towards the pots and got
himself a nice bowl of beef stew.
”Sooo... How did it go in the mines? were you able to complete the task ?”
Y E SH And Y E SH
With a mouth full of food, Rahz communicated with his family and told them
all about his experienced and the fact that he was now ready for his
evolution ceremony and how Berzerker was his calling.
Rhaen and Etta congratulated their son and told him to rest for a couple of
days and recuperated to pick condition as listening to the oracle of a god
was very draining. If Rahz couldn't endure the process, there was a
chance to disrespect the god and affect his advancement to the next level.
Even though Rahz didn't say anything about his dislocated shoulder, he
couldn't evade the discerning eyes of a Templar, with a simple wave of her
hand Etta cast a quick healing spell to help Rahz recuperated and then
send him to bed.
The following morning Rahz woke up and did maintenance on his 2
Handed Axe instead of doing his morning exercises. If he couldn't endure
the ceremony because his shoulder was bothering him it would be
devastating for him.
During breakfast he showed his dad the tooth he had acquired from the
Rock Thrower and asked his dad to created a chain made out of copper as
a present for reaching the energy necessary for evolution.
Rhaen took the tooth and inspected it but like the rest of the people that
had seen it, he was not aware of where it actually came from. Rahz's
father was actually very interested in the tooth and wanted to do something
nice for his son so he didn't mind taking on the job.
It was very Rare to see a material that Rhaen had no seeing before and
especially one that was so peculiar. Rhaen made the chain for it and when
he tried to perforate a hole to pass the chain none of the materials he had
at hand could do it, they couldn't even leave a scratch on it.
The only way to make a neck piece was to encase the whole tooth into a
receptacle made out of copper or to melt the whole thing and create
something out of it but Rhaen was not a jeweler so he decided to encase it.
When the neck piece was completed the tooth was cover by a thin sheet of
copper ribbons that wrap around the surface making it look like it had
copper stripes. The chain was then attached to the ribbons those solving
the problem generated by the hardness of the tooth.
Rahz was pretty stoked about his new necklace and after a couple of days
he was back to peak condition to start the ceremony.
The ceremony was preceded by the first elder and it was conducted in the
main altar of the village. The evolution task was not as flashy as the
awakening ceremony so there was not much people around observing it.
The priest started reciting a prayer to the gods and when he was finished
he prompted Rahz to place a drop of his blood on the altar. Through the
blood the God of War would inspect his accomplishments those far and
select a task and reward accordingly.
Each God value different things but if you followed the God of Valor for
example but acted like a coward in different situations, the God might not
want you as a follower or in order to see that you have what it takes to be in
that particular Gods army they would create an extremely difficult task filled
with challenges that would test your 'Valor'.
The moment the drop of blood hit the altar, it was wrapped in a dark red
light and stayed floating above it while it was being evaluated by Fadall.
After about a minute had passed the drop vanished and a soft light
descended on Rahz delivering the Oracle.
