It has been several months since Aria has been appointed as Bhaals direct disciple during this time Aria has been focusing on ways to enhance his psionic abilities using bhaals cultivation technique manuals, which have proven to be a great boon for her especially one manual in particular called The Dawn of Spirit Awakening, created by spirit Master known as Li Wei has ben most helpful, This foundational manual guides beginner spirit masters through the process of awakening and gradually growing spiritual energy, while delving into in techniques that specialize in telekinesis and controlling objects from afar with Spiritual Power. It covers basic topics on meditation techniques, breath control, and the initial sensing of Spiritual Energy in the environment. Emphasizes cultivating a steady spirit and understanding one's own spiritual potential. Although Bhaal was originally a warrior, Aria found out from the space ring he had given her, that their were many cultivation technique manuals that were best suited for a spiritual master even though he was a warrior who were usually known for using only genetic energy. During this time, Aria also came to learn that she was born in the year 1352 DR, in the month of Tarsakh, in the Year of the Bright Blade. After researching this world's calendar, she found out that it was based on the Calendar of Harptos, which was as follows: January in this world is called Hammer, February is called Alturiak, March is called Ches, April is called Tarsakh, May is called Mirtul, June is called Kythorn, July is called Flamerule, August is called Eleasis, September is called Eleint, October is called Marpenoth, November is called Uktar, and December is called Nightal. Ever since Aria gave Dream her space ring , it has taken him 3 months to fully analyze the contents of the ring, while Aria on the other hand focused on training with Yinrou acting as a sparing partner, as for Azu, the white Vortex spider had now grown from the size of a pebble to the size of Arias' hand. Aria had used Azu to spy on Joon to find any weakness, and oh boy, by the look on Aria's smile, she has.
The scene begins in the central palace training hall, where Aria and the other crimson bloods are training. "Hey, Aria I think I have finished cataloging all of the items in your space ring when you finish up with your training come into your internal world an I will give you the general breakdown, but before that I also found the body of a woman with a monkeys tail in an a tube like item called cryochamber with the info tag saying she is from a race known as saiyan, I don't think I have ever seen such a tall and muscular woman. I thought Bhaal said the space ring could not support life, or maybe if the organism is stored correctly, one can bypass this limitation. Sorry, I must be talking too much. Finish up and come see for yourself." Dream says to Aria. "Wait, a person inside the ring. Maybe I should ask father about it when he finishes today's training." Aria says as the two doors of the training hall are opened. "We pay respect to the lord." Aria, together with the other bhaalspawns, say in unison as Bhaal enters in his usual style, red kimono outfit, and instructs all of them to sit on their respective training mats. " Hello, everyone, my apologies for being late Bhaal says as several light coughs escape his mouth. "You must have seen that most of the family military personnel are packing and preparing supplies for the upcoming expedition. From a flashback from Aria, we learn that over the three months, the family has been busy preparing supplies, including weapons, tents, maps, and food rations, as if going to war, and most likely that was the case. It started from the month of Eleint, which is October, to Nightal, which is December. Currently, it is the year 1353 DR in the month of the Hammer, which is January from Arias's previous life; it is currently winter. So far, one week has passed since the new Year. The flashback ends, and Bhaal continues speaking. " As of today, you will continue with your normal training, but I won't be coming to supervise. Cyric forces have started to advance, and the situation requires my full attention. As of tomorrow, I will be setting foot on the battlefield."Bhaal says as he momentarily pauses. "Yes, you are leaving, finally the perfect opportunity to deal with Joon," Aria says mentally, seemingly ecstatic, but still putting on a face of absolute seriousness. "So far your powers have reached the level of a red scarved captain, but still I expect you to keep training, especially you Aria, you may be good with magic and martial arts but you still have a long journey to go if you train hard enough you may gain enlightenment and obtain the ability to use Aura, never be comfortable with your power always seek to improve your skills and abilities, Do you understand?. "Yes, father," Aria replies. "That is all for today. Tomorrow will hold our send-off ceremony for the upcoming expedition. Do not be late, you're all excused except for you, Aria, there is something I wish to discuss. The rest of the crimson bloods begin to leave the central palace training grounds, leaving Bhaal and Aria alone within the training grounds."
So little Aria, how's your cultivation going?" Bhaal asks. It's going well, Thanks to the cultivation manuals you gave me. My cultivation has begun to grow although I am still at the primary level it won't be long before I make a breakthrough to the Intermediate level, my psionic aptitude hasn't grown as much from 8.22 to 15.7 on the other hand my general strength has exploded, from one of the machines I found inside the storage ring, you know the one that measures fist strength. it has measured that I now have a fist strength of 50kg."Aria says. "You seriously don't know how grateful I am, thanks to you, I can even use level 9 psionic techniques even if it's only once," Aria says mentally. " I see why don't we have a friendly spar to see how far your power has grown, and if you manage to land a single scratch on me, I will give you this muya crystal?" Bhaal says as he removes a purple crystal like object from his grey-like ring' subspace, and by looking at it, it is most likely a world ring. The Muya Crystal is an awe-inspiring, otherworldly mineral that defies conventional geology. Its surface is smooth yet subtly faceted, resembling a colossal, perfectly cut diamond, but with an ethereal glow that pulses softly in shades of pale white and shimmering silver. The crystal emanates a gentle, almost hypnotic radiance, casting faint reflections that dance like flickering stars across its polished facets. What truly sets the Muya Crystal apart is its intoxicating aroma an inviting scent reminiscent of freshly steamed rice, warm and comforting yet strangely alluring. This fragrance seems to seep from within, as if the crystal itself breathes the essence of life and vitality. Within its core, the crystal contains a dense, radiant substance that appears to shift and ripple like liquid light. This alien matter is composed of an unknown mineral composition, shimmering with an internal luminescence that hints at immense energy potential. When devoured by living creatures, the Muya Crystal acts as a catalyst, unlocking rapid growth, enhancing vitality, and amplifying innate abilities to extraordinary levels.
"Um, is there really a point? I don't think I can beat you even if I go all out." Aria replies. " Don't worry, I won't use any of my abilities, just simple martial arts. You, on the other hand, are free to use any of your abilities." Bhaal says as he moves to a nearby weapon stand and picks up a wooden Katana. "Is he serious? If he is only using martial arts, I might actually have a chance of winning or at the very least injure him. "Aria says as he begins to walk towards her nearby backpack, where she removes 4 daggers which appear to have bloodstone gems embedded in them. The Blood Stone Daggers each feature a sleek, futuristic design with a polished, metallic silver-gray blade that tapers into a sharp, deadly point. Each blade is embedded with a deep crimson gemstone at its hilt, radiating a faint, ominous glow reminiscent of flowing blood. The hilts are intricately carved with swirling patterns and engravings that resemble ancient runes, adding an aura of mystique and power. The blades have a slight curvature, optimized for swift, precise strikes, and the overall craftsmanship exudes an aura of deadly elegance. When wielded, the Blood Stone Daggers seem to pulse with a hidden energy, hinting at their extraordinary spiritual and destructive capabilities. " Wait, why don't you keep those items in your space ring for easy accessibility?" Bhaal asks. " I usually keep my space ring in a hidden compartment within my room. I don't want many people to know of its existence," Aria says as she lies knowing full well that the ring is safely stored within her internal world. " I see, so you are going to use the bloodstone daggers, an interesting choice. Bhaal says as he begins to remember how he acquired the daggers from the Hong ming Alliance. From his flashback, we learn that the Blood Stone Daggers are a set of low quality Spirit Weapons that are exquisitely crafted from rare advanced metallic alloys. These daggers are designed for skilled Spirit Masters to harness their innate abilities and channel Law engravings, greatly amplifying their offensive power. Their crimson gemstones serve as focal points for the Law of light and Law of space, allowing the wielder to execute swift, devastating attacks from long range or engage in close combat with unparalleled speed and precision. The intricate engravings on the hilts facilitate the activation of Law-based techniques, making these weapons highly valuable for those with profound Law comprehension. Without proper mastery, using the Blood Stone Daggers becomes exceedingly difficult, but with sufficient skill, they can unleash devastating techniques that can overwhelm opponents in an instant. Their rarity and complex construction make them an expensive and highly sought-after treasure among Spirit Masters.
" I doubt Aria knows what she actually has, but I am curious if she can actually use the daggers correctly." Bhaal thinks. "Bhaal probably thinks I can't use this items correctly, but little does he know thanks to my level 2 psionic technique called identification scroll which allows me to reveal the full properties of any item, I know the full capabilities of this Items although I still don't get the law of light, but I am beginning to have a little understanding of the law of space, it's time to show him what I can do," Aria say as she takes on an attack position with the 4 daggers floating behind her. The air crackled with anticipation as Bhaal's calm, steady gaze met Aria's determined eyes. The surrounding training ground seemed to tense, the faint hum of energy "Hajime . You may begin" Bhaal says and without any delay Aria begins his offensive attack. Aria sends out all her 4 bloodstone daggers like missiles towards Bhaal. "Hmm, child's play," Bhaal mentally as he counters each dagger with his wooden katana. Aria begins to retrieve her scattered daggers with telekinesis and they begin to return towards her. Bhaal tightens every muscle within his body and launches at Aria with incredible speed, hoping to end this battle in one vertical slash. As his blade is rushing toward Aria, he sees that she is smiling , suddenly Aria makes several hand gestures while her eyes begun shining a subtle yellow glow then she sayed, "Bend space, first configuration, Jesters folly. Suddenly, spatial rifts begin to appear one in front of Aria, and as Bhaal's wooden katana begins to enter the rift, another spatial rift begins to appear on Bhaal's left side near his head. Suddenly, Bhaal's wooden katana starts coming out of the left side rift, rushing to hit his head in a horizontal motion. "What the hell?" Bhaal says as he ducks down to dodge the horizontal slash from his own katana, Aria on the other hand is not giving him any time to adjust and attacks Bhaal with a ferocious kick, kicking him and pushing him back several meters. " Amazing, simply amazing. I never knew Bend space could be used like that. What more can you do?" Bhaal says as he retrieves his wooden katana from the ground, his voice filled with excitement. "You have seen nothing yet, Level 2 psionic technique Bend space, second configuration, WILD HUNT," Aria says as he starts manipulating the 4 bloodstone daggers to attack faster and with random movements sending them through various space rifts each dagger packing an energy output of 50 kg making Bhaal have some difficulties in predicting where the attacks will come from as she begins charging towards Bhaal chanting a spell. " I have got to say you have truly impressed me, but this is not enough," Bhaal says as Aria closes the distance to around 20 feet. Suddenly, she releases all 4 bloodstone daggers at the same time from different space rifts, one heading for Bhaals head, another heading for his back, another heading for his right leg, and the other for his crotch. Bhaal momentary smiled and mentally Sayed "Damn this kid is brutal he is aiming for all my vital points at the same time, seriously even my crotch.", using his masterful swordsmanship, he dodges the dagger aiming for his head, counters and deflects the one aiming for his right leg and crotch, Although he try's shifting his body to dodge the one from the back it manages to slash him damaging his kimono but Aria is not done within the confusion she says "Incaritus" and casts Lightning bolt aiming to hit Bhaal but he dodges the attack leaving only an after image. As the dust from the spell settles, Aria finds Bhaal holding his wooden Katana next to her neck from behind, not understanding how he moved so fast. "Ha, ha, ha, I am satisfied it is your win, you actually managed to scratch me," Bhaal says as he hands her the muya crystal patting her on the head. "Thanks, father," Aria replies. " You will find the training method for using the muya crystal in one of the books in your space ring. You can go rest up for the day. We will talk tomorrow." Bhaal says as Aria packs his 4 bloodstone daggers together with the muya crystal in her bag and begins to leave for her room forgetting to ask Bhaal the question concerning the Saiyan's body in her space ring.
Bhaal momentarily pauses and contemplates his sparing match with Aria as he observes the damage she did to his kimono. He then begins to wave his hand, and suddenly a portal appears in front of him, and He teleports to his room. Bhaal's private bedroom is a lavish sanctuary of opulence and dark elegance. The towering walls are draped with deep crimson velvet curtains that cascade from ornate gold-trimmed drapery rods, framing tall windows that let in soft, diffused light. The ceiling boasts intricate gold leaf moldings and a grand central medallion from which an elaborate chandelier of shimmering crystals hangs, casting a warm, mesmerizing glow. The massive bed, with an ornately carved gilded headboard, is dressed in rich, velvety fabrics in shades of burgundy and black, adorned with an array of plush pillows and a heavy quilted coverlet. Flanking the bed are matching nightstands with gilded accents, holding antique looking lamps with warm amber lights. Elegant gold framed mirrors and dark wooden furniture with intricate carvings complete the regal atmosphere. but this is only a small potion of this private residence. On arriving in the room, he goes to a nearby cabinet and takes a blue potion. "I can't believe I am forced to drink these potions to heal myself. Bhaal says as he drinks the potion, which heals his back injury, which he got from Aria. " If Arias' attacks can injure me, my cultivation must have fallen to the planetary level. Bhaal says as he goes and picks up what appears to be an old vintage wine and pours it into a glass.
It is currently midday, and the sun casts its golden rays upon Bhaal's estate, bathing it in a warm, ethereal glow. Bhaal, the valiant warrior, finds himself in the confines of his private chambers, a goblet of wine in hand. His thoughts were consumed by the prophecy that foretold his impending demise. A sigh escaped his lips as he pondered, "I can only hope that this plan works. Aria is truly a worthy subject. I still can't believe how good she is when it comes to mastering and creating new techniques. What was it called again? Configuration. Simply amazing, I wish I had more time to see her power grow, but if I stay here, Cyric will eventually come here and all my plans will be for nothing, but if I am to die, let me enjoy this world's pleasures, just one last time." Bhaal mentally says as he goes to his table and picks up a jade-like pass similar to the one Aria has, but this one has intricate dragon carvings made of gold encasing it. He then activates the communication function of the jade pass and begins calling Alianna, with a holographic-style screen appearing next to him. As if on cue, Alianna, who was relaxing in her room within the family's main mansion, hurried to pick up her own jade pass to answer, as she picks up his pass to answer a screen like hologram activates, and both of them begin to see each other on the screens. "Hello, Alianna, come to my private residence, there is something I need assistance with."Bhaal orders. "Very well, my Lord, I will arrive soon," Alianna says, wondering why Bhaal is calling her to his private residence in the Central Palace.
Bhaal is sitting in a nearby plush chair, fingers brushing over the intricately carved armrest. His heart aching, burdened not just by destiny, but by the desire that simmered just beneath the surface of his thoughts. The shadows of his impending fate loomed ever larger, yet the sun drenched space radiated warmth, urging him towards pleasure rather than despair. As Alianna enters Bhaal's private residence, her ethereal beauty catching the light and making her skin glow, she is cloaked in a golden silk gown. Her long, silvery hair cascaded down her shoulders, framing a face adorned with delicate features. Her emerald eyes lock onto Bhaal's gaze as she observes him sitting on the nearby plush chair.
"Why do you look so pensive, my lord? Is something wrong? If there is anything I can do, just give the word and I will do it?" Alianna says, her voice melodic, weaving through the air like a sweet lullaby as she stepped closer, the soft sound of her footsteps a siren's call, inviting him to forget his troubles, if only for a moment. Bhaal begins to rise from his chair to meet her, as he places the wine filled goblet on a nearby stand. He reaches for her, fingers grazing her waist, feeling the silk of her tightly laced gown beneath his touch. "Come here," he commanded softly, a husky growl spilling from his lips as her warmth enveloped him. Without hesitation, Alianna closed the distance, molding her body against him, her breasts' softness igniting a blaze within him. Their lips met in a fevered kiss, the taste of wine mingling with the sweetness of her mouth, each movement stirring a primal instinct deep within. Bhaal's hands tangled in her hair, drawing her closer.
Desire surges through him, flooding his senses with urgency as he lifts her effortlessly, carrying her to the opulent bed draped in rich silks. He lays her down, drinking in the sight of her body, the way the sunlight dances upon her skin, highlighting every curve and contour. His heart raced with a desperation he could no longer contain; he leaned down to kiss the silky skin of her neck, breathing in her intoxicating scent, a blend of wild jasmine and something uniquely her. Alianna gasped, arching beneath him as his mouth trailed lower, kissing across the gentle swell of her breasts, his fingers deftly drawing down the laces of her gown. Fabric fell away, revealing her to him in all her glory. He savored the moment, his gaze drinking in her divine form."Bhaal," she whispered, a soft plea and an invitation wrapped in one, as he took a taut nipple between his lips, teasing it with the tip of his tongue. Her back arched, fingers threading through his hair, pulling him closer, urging him on as his mouth traveled lower, trailing heated kisses down the valley of her stomach. His hands roamed down her back, stopping at the curves that made her breath hitch in her throat. Alianna begins sliding her hands down his broad chest, feeling the tense muscles beneath the fabric of his tunic. She pushes him back on the bed with a feisty spirit that took Bhaal by surprise, though he quickly returned the fierceness, his hands gripping her hips as he brought her down onto his cock, making Alianna's body shake as Bhaal's divine shaft penetrated her pussy. She started riding him like a dog in heat, the warmth radiating from her clit burning into him, igniting a conflagration neither could resist. Their tongues dancing, brushing against one another like flames licking at dry wood. Bhaal's hands roamed from her massive hips, journeying upwards to her waist and continuing to her now pulsating breasts, then to her shoulders, his fingers entwining themselves in her silken moonlight hair, while Alianna pressed her body further against him, undulating in a rhythm that spoke of primal needs. With every move, the tension spiking between them grew almost unbearable, a furnace stoked by longing and breathy gasps.
"Ride me, Alianna," Bhaal's primal growl set off another wave of need as he pulled her closer, her body fitting perfectly against his. Without waiting for a second command, she began to move, raising and falling upon his massive cock, her own desires matched by the undeniable strength encapsulated in his arms. The air grew thick with erotic tension; each moan shared between them was a mark of the shared intimacy. Alianna's body responded like a finely tuned instrument, resonating with every push, every pull of Bhaal's hands guiding her, urging her towards that precipice of pleasure while the tremors of passion coursed through them. As they moved together, time ceased to exist. The worries of the outside world faded into mere whispers against the powerful symphony of their bodies entwined. Alianna could feel her climax approaching, the coil within tightening, and as if sensing the moment of truth, Bhaal pulled her closer, whispering sweet promises of release against her neck. A final thrust, hard and unforgiving, sent explosions of heat spiraling through her, unraveling her entirely as their cries echoed in unison through the room, mingling with the sunlight that bathed them both in an ethereal glow. She shattered in waves of bliss, and he followed suit, pulling her tightly against him, each pulse drawing her deeper into the abyss. In that moment of surrender, with all the weight of destiny and the shadows of fate at bay, they existed in pure unadulterated ecstasy. Fulfilled, if only for a fleeting instance, by the warmth of the two warriors in their own right, fighting against the challenges of the world without fear.
"That was amazing, my lord, I don't think I can even stand," Alianna says as he lies on Bhaal's chest."I wonder, is it your gaze that draws me in or the silent whisper of your soul beneath? Because when I see you, I don't just admire the surface, I feel a memory stirring, deep within, like a song I've known long before I knew your name, in a time when our spirits danced in harmony. Your presence grounds me, but it's your essence that binds me tight. We are two threads woven so intricately that unraveling feels impossible even when miles stretch between us, even when life tries to erase our traces. Our connection runs deeper than words, stitched into the very fabric of our beings. And perhaps… I don't love you merely for your looks, or the touch that lingers in the air, but because, when you're near, I find a place within myself that feels like home, a stranger no more, but someone whole again." Bhaal says as he shifts Alianna's hair to reveal her face. Even as I depart for battle tomorrow, I will cherish this moment, take care of our little girl should anything happen, take Aria to the sanctuary, and from there, Amelyssan will know what to do." Bhaal says as the Scene shift to Aria who is currently in her internal world observing the woman who Dream was talking about, she begins looking at the info tag which says that the woman in the cryochamber is from a race known as Saiyan's. On closer Aria discovers his name on the tag."Ashante Drakovich" Aria mentally says as she observes her. Ashante Drakovish has a striking and powerful appearance around 2.5 meters tall. She has long, voluminous, fiery red hair styled in wild, spiky layers that give her an intense and commanding presence, on his head a red flame tattoo. Her physique is muscular and athletic, with a well-defined abdomen and broad shoulders, emphasizing her strength. She wears a form-fitting black top that accentuates her toned torso, paired with loose, baggy cream-colored pants that are gathered at the waist with a black sash. Her footwear consists of high-heeled boots with dark fabric wrappings that reach just below her knees, adding to her formidable look even as she sleeps in the cryochamber. the scene ends as Aria says "What the actual fuck, am I supposed to do with her. she is so huge if she was to get out I am done for. Her aura is simply incredible, Just from standing in her presence I can sense what a formidable warrior she is. I don't think I will last even ten seconds if we were to fight"
