After noticing this, he tried to calm himself down. With some time, the others began to relax as well, until only a few of them were left staring at him; most of them being backers of Shavril. Once the report was over, and everyone was returning to their posts, Lucius called Shavak, Avankor, and the chief to the side. "Shamira, I will speak to you later," the chief said to Shamira, who seemed content on being a part of the discussion. However, from the serious expressions on everyone's faces, she…-

"Shortly after we left the den, our team was attacked by those creatures. Five warriors were slaughtered before we even had the chance to react, and even then only the fastest of us were able to escape," the chief began after some time. "Those of us that escaped decided to flee to the Immaculate Forest. Returning meant putting the location of the den at risk, so we decided to take our chances with the Council," he continued, his face scrunching up into a sort of sad anger as he said this. "When we…

~They're back?~ Lucius thought to himself in disbelief. "But that's not possible, how did they get through the necromancer's decay?~ he pondered. It wasn't making much sense, so after saying his goodbyes to Sherlin he followed the guards. There was a very real possibility that the necromancer had sent illusions here to deceive the members of the den. After all, if it had managed to send him to a mindscape, then it may very well be capable of creating illusions as well. After running for a short…

After inspecting the new feature for a while, making sure that he exhausted every aspect of it, he came to hypothesize a few things. For one, he noticed that although the full alphabet was here that alone wasn't enough explain why the system referred to it as a Language Base. He could only assume that there would be more to come as he continued using it. Which would explain why there was a meter. Though he still wondered what counted as progress. Was continuously using the language all that was…

"Do you mean for the day? I-I don't understand?" Shavtil asked, before moving closer to Lucius. "No, I mean for good," Lucius replied dismissively, before turning back to Zhayen. He was interested in what sort of training Zhayen and the others had been receiving before this, if even at all. "The old warriors didn't really let us train. Before they left, we weren't even allowed in this room," Zhayen explained, side-eying Shavtil who looked like he would blow a fuse at any moment. Lucius however paid…

"Zhayen, you do the same. Regardless of what your reasons are, this should be the last time you're ever late," Lucius added before leaving. He knew that punishing Zhayen was unfair, as he had no doubt that his peers had given him the wrong information. However, this group was clearly undisciplined. If he left Zhayen without punishment, tomorrow one of the others might use it as an excuse. After speaking to several of the guards, he was directed toward Shavril's personal cave. Apparently, he was not…

The next morning, Lucius woke up very early to begin his own personal training. It would consist of three parts, a pure martial arts session, followed by magical research, and then closed off with a mixed session. His prior fight with the necromancer had made it clear to him that human combat didn't use his new body to its full advantage. And although he was no genius martial artist, the creation of a new kind of martial art was in order. ~This type of fighting has to be well equipped to fight…

After a short walk through one of the several corridors within the area, the two arrived at Shaviki's cave area. "Welcome to my quarters," he said with a sort of sarcastic grandeur, before drawing the leather curtain that acted as the door to his cave. The inside of the cave was a rather crude space with nothing at all inside it, which proved even more that these creatures were very low in terms of technology and civilization. Although they were at the level where they could create and maintain…

All the councilmen visibly jerked at the sight of the crux, some of them even stumbling to run out the door. "Everyone calm down," Shavak's voice boomed, silencing the commotion that had begun. "Havon, please explain," he continued. "One of my spells purges the effects of the necromancer's decay. I'm not sure why, but it seems the decay itself is like a sort of injury to the environment," Lucius replied thoughtfully. "Which could mean that I can also purge the necromancer's undead... we may not…

Once all the councilmen had taken to their seats, which took some time as each of them seemed to be adamant about making themselves seen, Lucius stood up to begin his report. "First, I'd like to report on what Avankor and I have discovered while we w-" "Why is our guest the first to speak in the war room? And firstly is this even the place for our guest to be reporting?" one of the council members interrupted, looking to several others for some sort of support. "What?" Lucius couldn't help but…
