NOTICE: PERSPECTIVE SWITCH TO SHAWN (Corrupted Abomination)
In the bloody vision moving deeper into the cave, people have assembled ahead ready to fight back. Shawn charges speaking, "It hurts. It hurts!" He rages, "IT HURTS!" he jumps and uses his big hand to smash down. An earth wall appears before him blocking his hand but breaks.
A man with a sword jumps over the rubble and readies his sword to attack, then he sees the face. "Shawn? What happened to yo-" The Abomination/Shawn caught him, "ARRGGHHHH!" the man screams with his ribs being crushed, he looks up to an open mouth. "No no NO NO AARRGH-" *CRUNCH* The abomination ate him, the people are horrified and they start firing spells and attacks at the Abomination.
The Abomination roars and it starts to split off, soon another abomination is split off with the face of the man. The people watch in horror, "AARRGGHH!" Some vomit due to how gruesome it looks. One rallies them, "Tch, everyone get ready. KILL IT!" they cast their spells and some use magic/energy artifacts to fire spells.
The abomination turns to them, the blasts and attacks covers its vision. *ROOOAAAARRR* spikes appear on the big arm and it swings it firing FLESH JAVELINS at them. *CHUK CHUK CHUK* 4 are impaled. The Abomination charges ahead and the big arm slowly changes into a huge sharp claw, it jumps and swipes down hard cleaving 2 people in halves. The people keep attacking but some are retreating, "NO NO NO! STAY AWAY!" *CRUSH* a boulder fell on him, the Abomination is throwing boulders at them.
NOTICE: PERSPECTIVE SWITCH TO NYTRI
Nytri is looking through the visions and more keeps appearing with each abomination being formed. She strolls through the cave not caring at the mess on her way. A hand appears behind her and wraps around her neck taking her hostage. A man is seen behind her, "You're the one who brough these things here?" He looks down but Nytri doesn't care and he speaks, "Tell them to-" Nytri walks dragging the man along, "WHAT!"
The man let's go of Nytri and jumps back, "What the heck are you?!" he points his sword at Nytri. Nytri doesn't even look back and keeps walking forward, the man readies himself and his body glows blue. He charges at Nytri, "If you're going to ignore me then DIE!" He swings his sword down at Nytri's head *TING!* his hand feels vibration and pain as if he struck a wall. He feels pain so much he drops his sword, he looks at his hands still shaking. "Tch, I don't ca-" He looks up and Nytri is still walking not caring about him.
The man gets up, "She's not even looking at me, like I'm some insect. I should get before I get her attention or those things come back." The man suddenly flinches, he sees a bony fleshy hand by his head. A creepy low voice comes with it, "You are nothing to my Master." The ma turns back and he sees the Abyssal Beings and screams, "AARRGHH!!" on the sounds of chewing is heard.
Nytri observes the map, "The signs of people are disappearing and more abominations are made. I didn't factor this in…." She shrugs, "I guess somethings just happened." She keeps walking then she hears a faint cry, "Help" it's so low not even close to a whisper but Nytri heard it. She turns to see another path to her right, "Creepy voice in a creepy cave calling out in a creepy fashion….And I'm also going." She turns to the right path and walks on it.
The cry comes again, "Please…anyone….help us!" Nytri quickens her steps, she passes a few doors to a room with captives. The captives trembling in fear and despair in their cages, an abomination seems to be munching on 'meat'. One of the slaves see Nytri enter the room and screams, "No, STAY BACK! RUN!" Nytri still walks into the room and passes the abomination.
Nytri looks around, "Slaves and captives….Humans, mixed and pure, druids, dryads…and some people I've never seen before." She tilts her head looking at them. A boy from the cages yell at her, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? RUN AWAY!" Nytri looks at the boy, she waves her hand and the abomination leaves the room. Nytri smiles, "From what?" the people are stunned.
Nytri hears the voice again, "Please…..help me" Nytri looks to see another room with the door closed. The people speak but Nytri just ignores them and her thoughts, "How is she speaking to me with Telepathy? The frequency I'm on is exclusive, it takes too much EP for a normal person to use." She walks to the door.
Nytri slowly opens the door and light slowly enters the room. Nytri looks down, "Humans truly are cruel." The thing calling her is chained to a wall with blood covering it, it's been degraded so much that it looks nothing human. Nytri walks into the room and notices another figure to the corner also in chains, "Truly cruel." In the corner is a child but seems to be in better shape for now.
The child has been beaten so much and the only thing it can do is watch….watch as its mother is abused and butchered before her. Her eyes are dry of tears and hopeless. Nytri looks at the child in thought, "I guess she was next after this one." She looks at the figure before her.
Nytri stretched her hand as it glows green but she stops, she sees another door to her right which gets her attention. She feels a small force pulling her to the room, she starts walking towards it. In her eyes, she sees a small white breeze blowing from her into the room. Nytri enters the room prepared, but the sight before her is way beyond what she could stomach. Nytri takes steps back, her face pale, she retches "BLEERGGHH!" The ground beneath her feet seems to melt but not important.
Nytri smashes her fist into the wall enraged mumbling, "How can such people exist?" She looks into the room, "Just how wicked can one be!" she walks into the room to see small humanoid figures being processed. Their bodies and blood are being cut and changed into pills and potions. 3 people are in the room working and one notices Nytri, "Huh? Hey, who are you?" he takes a step to stop Nytri.
Nytri looks at them, the 3 freeze and they feel their souls being laid bare before her gaze. Nytri takes a step forward, "How many…" they're confused and afraid, one of them is exceptionally powerful but what's a bug to a Calamity. "How many…" Nytri repeats walking to the one who seems to be the leader. She reaches him and looks up into his eyes but the man sees something else. Nytri stares into his eyes, "How many times should I kill you to make up for this?"
On the side are more spirit-kin with most being near death. One looks up with a blurry vision and notices Nytri then closes the eyes again. In the eyes of the 3, death is standing right behind this little girl, except death looks nicer. Nytri recalls that prison dimension she made, "Right, that place will do." Above the 3 of them, space ripples and dark tree branches slowly creeps out, hollow cries come with it.
The tree branch sticks to the 3 of them growing into their heads, slowly it takes the 3 away. On their faces, indescribable pain is evident. Nytri looks at the branches, "Make them suffer more." A tree branch comes close to Nytri after dragging the 3 off, Nytri rubs the branch and it returns to the dimension.
Nytri sighs, "You poor souls, let go of your revenge….I'll take it for you. LIFE AND DEATH MANIPULATION > MASS REVIVAL, MASS RECOVERY, SOUL RECOVERY." Nytri glows like a bright light covering the room, the spirit-kin killed are brought back to life. Those in poor conditions look brighter and everyone is in top form. The light dims and the spirit-kin finally see Nytri, they see her for who no, what she really is.
In their eyes, Nytri has eyes of gold flames with her clothes being fire with amethyst, pearls beryl, gold and emerald, her skin is bright reaching gold and on her head is a crown with ornaments in her hair like sapphire, jasper, emerald and gold. They're the only race capable of seeing this, not even Nytri sees this self in the mirror.
Nytri snaps her fingers and the cages fades as if never existing, the bottom of the cage lowers to the ground free them. One of the spirit-kin, a wind spirit flies to Nytri, "You saved us…." Then bows, "Thank you human." The spirit tilts its head, "You are human, right?"
Another spirit smacks the wind spirit, "Don't be rude." This one seems to be a fire spirit, "I'm sorry for my little sister's words." Nytri looks at them in thought, "Fire and wind are siblings?" and the wind spirit rubs her head pouting, "You didn't have to hit me so hard."
The fire spirit places a hand on his chest, "I'm the leader of the spirits here….." He looks down, "….I tried leading everyone to safety but we got caught."
An earth spirit walks on the ground, "It's not your fault, we were too slow and you gave your life to save us. You could've escaped but you came back."
The fire spirit grins, "Of course! We spirits have to stick together." The other spirits smile and they feel glad having such a leader.
Nytri smiles and pats the fire spirit on his head, "It's nice having people who love you. You know they'll do anything for you, so you do anything for them." The wind spirit stares at Nytri as if trying to understand an aero plane with the many buttons. Nytri chuckles, "You don't have to stare so much. I'm human after all." Then she mumbles, "I think." But the spirits see an entirely different thing.
Nytri glances over them, "I'm not comfortable with you guys wondering on your own. Do you wanna come with?"
A blue spirit (Humanoid with blue hair) is surprised, "You want us to come with you?" the fire spirit shakes his head, "I appreciate your kind gesture but we can't put you in danger. You've done so much for us even resurrecting us." And mumbles, "Good thing the world don't know."
Nytri laughs, "Danger? Hahahahaha!" she laughs so much tears gather on her eyes, "Listen, nothing. Absolutely nothing can hurt me on this earth. Besides, only people with a date with death come to me for trouble." Nytri rubs their heads, "You have nothing to worry about.
They believe her because of how they see her. The fire spirit smiles, "Right, then I'll take you up on that offer." He turns to look at his kin, "Anyone else want join?" The spirit-kin cheer to show their agreement.
Nytri feels warmth looking at them, she swipes her hand and space distorts making a clear portal. Nytri looks through and sees an Azurian eating a midnight snack, "Boz!" Nytri calls out to an Azurian, he looks at Nytri and Nytri speaks, "Can you find a place for these Spirits to live. Somewhere closer to nature." Boz nods and Nytri squints her mouth pointing at him, "...It's too late to be eating noodles." Boz looks away trying to hide his food with a smile. The spirit-kin enter the portal and all of them reach Azuria.
[AU:INFO
- Though Spirit-kin are small, they're not that small. Lesser spirits are about 50cm to 1m. Normal spirits are from 1m to 2m. Greater spirits are from 2m to 10m. Noble spirits are bigger reaching 30m.
- Lesser spirits are hunted since the others are clearly strong enough to defend themselves. Though lesser are like 3rd tier mages at best. Being able to form contracts with them is a Boon but some found ways to extract their power, essence and life to grow stronger or for dastardly things.
- Clear Portal: Portals who's destination can be seen. Azuria portals on earth are Clear since the distance is 'small' so you can see the other side from looking through it. Portals outside the earth normally don't have the exits being seen so it's a leap of faith. That explains why sometimes the exit of first portals aren't accurate.
