"My lord, if we happen to be wrong, and that is indeed Havon leading the battle against those intruders, this'll be the single biggest blunder in our clan's history. We will go down as the generation that failed to help the savior, and in turn, failed to have him owe us," Shaviki continued. The king remained silent, an unbothered expression on his face as he looked at the other council members. In truth, the king had wanted to go to Havon's aid. Battles had to be fought, and in that sense, it was the…-

"What?" For a moment, Lucius forgot about the situation that he was in. ~It knows... It knows I'm not from here?~ he thought to himself. The answers he had been looking for could be standing right in front of him... but in the form of death. How ironic. 'Run. Get away. Run.' There it was again. The strange voice in his head. No, this wasn't a voice. It was a feeling. His connection to the forest, his earth sense, it was telling him to get away. ~Is the necromancer really that out of my grasp? No, I know…

"It seems I overlooked your species. If your kind is capable of collecting this much celestial energy, then perhaps I should start hunting for them specifically," the voice said. ~Satelite Beam~ Lucius chanted, attempting to silently cast the spell. "Vim extermina," the creature said right after. "Don't bother. I can read the fluctuations in your crux. And besides, it's not as if you have the rena to cast it anyway," the voice said before the space around Lucius began to wobble. A humanoid mushroom at…

"Who has the highest stats in the commune? Get it wrong and you're dead," Lucius replied, his tail thrashing out to grab Pagan by the neck and lift him into the air. Meanwhile, a solar beam was at the ready in case he tried to pull anything funny. "W-What's goi-" "Just answer me," Lucius interrupted, his crux glowing even brighter than before. "Apart from you... Alpha. But only because he has an abnormal desire for physical pain. If it were up to natural talent, it would've been me," Pagan…

"Good. Hold your breath," he shouted, as even more holes began to appear on his body. A moment later, he let out a massive cloud of poison gas using his fourth form, 'wandering'. Using Elmado, he spread it out as explosively as he could. Retching sounds followed by sudden thuds filled the air as Lucius healed himself. He didn't have much practice with poison, so it took time for him to expel it, allowing for a few of the creatures to escape. Noticing that the poison was quickly thickening, Pagan and…

While the others slept, Lucius used this time to prepare himself for the fight to come. He knew that there might come a time when he would have to make a difficult decision, where a sacrifice could be the only right choice. He loved everyone like his children, but one of them may have to die today, and even for him, such a task would take mental preparation. An hour passed, and the moon was directly overhead. If anything, now was the time to strike. "Everyone, wake up!" he shouted. though that wasn't…

"D-Do we have to fight it?" Eleanor asked, fear apparent in her voice. "We don't have to do anything. We could sit this out, let someone else take care of it. However, there's a catch to that," Lucius explained, before standing up. "For one, we would lose the trust of the forest creatures, since they're expecting some sort of opening on the enemy front lines today. Secondly, we risk the necromancer destroying the dark forest resistance, as I'm calling it. If that happens, we'd be left alone in our…

By the time Ghost caught up to the others, she found the chieftains looking at Lucius in disbelief. ~There isn't any time for this,~ she thought to herself, before stepping within range of Lucius's earth sense and increasing the amount of radiant energy circulating in her body to attract his attention. With that, Lucius' eyes immediately shot open, before darting toward the direction that Ghost was hiding in. Ghost increased the radiant energy even more, prompting Lucius to check out what was going…

~I need to erase my being... I need to not exist,~ she thought to herself. What Ghost lacked in thinking capacity, she made up for with imagination. As Lucius and the others began moving, she began imagining different ways that radiant energy could mask her presence. ~These unseen eyes... I mean, radiant observation doesn't just see things normally, they sort of see the... energy within things,~ she realized. ~So if I want to hide from them, I need to erase that first... though I don't think that's…

For a long while, Lucius tried running through different 'feelings'; happiness, sadness, joy, anger... With each attempt, he would dig up some old memory to increase its intensity, though no matter how hard he tried he couldn't seem to get it right. He had assumed that heartache... sadness would be the answer. After all, he had experienced a great amount of that... the death of his wife, of his child, of his comrades. Though all those deaths meant nothing to his 'change'. It was as if his 'emotions' were…
