62 Basilisk (1/2)

The team arrived at the other side of the village just in time to build a camp and rest before starting their grind in the morning.While Rahz cook some BBQ, Elune prepare another batch of poison to bathe the egg and give it the last hmpff, it needed to break through the initial hurdle.

Elune moved far away from the group and started her cauldron. She placed a plethora of poisonous plants as well as the blood of high level serpents that they manage to buy from the Alchemy store in Willowdale and then started to infuse her Runic energy into the mix.

The Basilisk's egg assimilated the liquid inside the cauldron as a thin breaking line started to spread throughout the surface of the shell.The beast around the area started to grow restless and many started acting erratic hitting trees or launching attacks at the creatures next to them like they were going crazy.

10 ft around the cauldron all the trees started dying, at this point the Witch Doctor spoke, ” Quickly!!! Use some of your blood on top of the cracked shell and complete the bond ritual before the poison kills us”.

Elune quickly cut her wrist and let her blood drip into the egg while providing the energy of heaven and earth.As the blood disappeared into the gap the shape of her Rune appear on the surface of the egg and when the last line was completed, Elune felt a link with a very strong life force while the itchy feeling that the poison was making her feel disappeared.She could tell that after the link was formed, she had gain immunity to any poison or disease that was weaker than that of a basilisk.

At the moment, one could say that Elune was immune to 1000 poisons but as her pet grew and the poison got stronger, her resistance too will also go through the roof.

Elune realized that she could transmit intend to the Basilisk and vice versa, now it was all a matter of exploring the extend of that bond and seeing its limits.As Elune was looking over their link, the egg shell started crumbling and a dark green light blinded everything in the area, the head of a serpent started to poke through the gap and poisonous gas flew into the air.

HISS!!!

The hiss was heard in a 500 ft radius and made all the beast that heard it tremble and hide away.When the light disappeared a 3 feet black serpent was coiling happily around her body.

The Basilisk had black skin with dark green lines an a pair of gold eyes that could charm anybody into seeing them.According to the Witch Doctor, as the king of snakes, Basilisk were immediately level 25 when they hatched and were close to 10 ft long and 1 ft in diameter.

Elune thought about the loving snake coiling around her and couldn't help but ask the old soul ” didn't you say she was suppose to be level 25.How come she is only level 15 and only 3ft long?”

Cough... cough

”Is what the textbooks said about them , I never actually had one myself so perhaps since we created all those potions for her she is a little premature.Don't worry, they grow pretty fast when they have an ample supply of food and this Kobold mine is the perfect environment”.

HISS!

She is hungry, ” let's go back to the camp and make the introductions.I am sure Rahz will have pretty decent food for you to try”.

Back at the camp Rahz was hard at work grilling two Boars while brushing his own marinated onto the creatures, humming a tune while thinking about the big hunt the next day.

Rahz saw a few of the bushes moved and thinking that it could be a beast he went to grab his Axe but very soon the delicate figure of Elune came into view followed by a 3 ft snake that made Rahz jump forward in order to protect her.

While rushing in Rahz screamed, ” SNAKE!!”

Elune looked back and saw her new companion and quickly said, ” She is my pet”.

Rahz stopped in his tracks and look at Elune arms that were not carrying an egg before smiling and asking ” What's its name?”
