◊We Begin..◊
ʬʬʬʬʬ ((Full Song AWT)) Dawn of day upon a dark setting. The slow sun rises over the horizon bringing forth day. Still visible stars faded away slowly with the striking light of moon. Soft and green was the grass, standing loosely over moist land. Still afloat could be seen the island above all else in the region as the brown male looked up. Quiet as usual was the land, his spiritual home. Vast array of memories clouding thought by sight of surroundings. Each step brought a soothing feel to Drekentai's paws, this felt like home to him, but especially to the spirits within - for they resided here, trapped in shrines. The sheering pain of down-pulling gravity existed no more since the day of the bonding. Deep breaths were taken, exhaled with relaxation as markings faintly grew with light to the breath.
ʬʬʬʬʬ Up ahead lay upon the ground the steep hill, three very memorable shrines, and quite the odd tree so to speak. Sounds of water flowing through nature like a flowing stream through a forest. Only near by could one see the flowing waterfall. The source of water is always questionable due to it's odd location.. Non the less, a beautiful mystery. From grass, to stone and back, his paws padded across until he could reach the base of the hill to climb it. It was too steep to let alone walk along the side, not to mention a desire to relive memories. Crickets in the distance still go by chirping by sunrise as fog slowly fades out. The more Drek was within these lands, the more vibrant his narrow, almost diamond-shaped eyes became. Within every deep heave of a breath, his wingspan made its presence more apparent. Flickering on and off like puzzle pieces that broke out instead of fading out, just like specs of light that floated about before fading out of existence. A few moments were taken, resting upon the ground with his thick tail wrapped around himself, gazing up at the top of the hill as he lay near the closest accessible area to climb.
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "All these years.. I never knew who you were, and yet here you are.. In me."
ʬʬʬʬʬ ((Full Song UW)) By the words did the spirits make their presence clear - Blue fog arising from the land around him, shifting between a clean, clear white and the angelic blue flame that grew upon Drek. Relaxed neck drifting down, his eyes gazed upon the growing fog that stood low. Claws protracting from within the thick fur of his paws, burrowing down against and into the ground, as a thicker blue fog emerged and emitted from his paws. A strong desire for identification grew as lids closed shut, darkening sight to peaceful darkness. The dark brown male was dead set on getting an, or multiple, identities from these spirits. For most of his life has he been cast upon their will, only to be united with them later on by force.
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "Whoever you are.. Show yourself. I am done with these games. You have kept me from death, you trapped me and welcomed yourselves to my body, you weighted me down and cornered me for.. This. My life has been nothing but a paining solitude."
ʬʬʬʬʬ A paining snare grew upon his features, heavy flames seeping down from his tail into the ground, growl emitting from his throat. The male took a stance for himself, getting up as he narrowly eyed the shrines atop the hill. A steep rising of determination ruled over as he begun to climb the hill. Taking a leap at every bump up. Along the way upon the hill lay a lit trail of blue flame as it seeped from his tail. The higher the march, the more apparent the spirits presence became clear, and the more their orbs became visible, hovering around Drek, entwined.
ʬʬʬʬʬSpirits: "We are the protectors..."
ʬʬʬʬʬ Faintly, many voices were heard at once from around him, having caused Drek to come to a stop, trying to spot more apparent spirits from within the large mass. Suddenly.. One stood out of all. A feminine voice made itself present as an orb came to focus ahead of him, however having no form.
ʬʬʬʬʬSpirit: "Thou are the passage, the new protector of Ma'at."
ʬʬʬʬʬ ((Full Song DNN)) It grew apparent there was a reason. None of which was clear. Ma'at? The passage? This spirit obtained his attention. Frozen in time he stood with his wingspan lit up as they gracefully heaved from the ground, coming back down and repeating, mind clouded by thought and confusion. Visions appeared to him. Vast dry lands, chaos engulfed them: There stood the Eye Of Ra, bringing chaos and destruction upon those threatening balance, justice, order. All is seen but a vague image of the Deity. There stood the male, frozen in shock. Eyes dwell with fear, motionless. Suddenly, a thump expanded from the ground where the spirit was, shattering his state and carrying him back to reality - wings burning away in seconds. Drek fell to the ground, heart racing with heavy heaves of the chest. Ahead of his sight, spirits grew bright and low against the ground.. Fertility followed as they went, flowers taking root, growing. He struggled to notice reality, still locked within a state of shock. Only slowly did he come back to reality, curling his paws a few times before attempting to take stand once more. The male attempted to continue his ascension upon the hill. The low spirits continued to spread fertility around him, blue lotuses oddly growing around him.. Yet no water. A trail of thick blue flame continued to seep from his tail, lighting the pathway behind him: The lotuses blossomed to it's presence. Shock remained in his eyes, as a third presence made itself clear.. however vague.
ʬʬʬʬʬSpirit: "Follow the ways of the light.."
ʬʬʬʬʬSpirit: "We protect the treasures of nature.."
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "Who are you! Eye of Ra, who are you?!"
ʬʬʬʬʬSpirit: "Righteous warfare.. Ways of the healer.."
ʬʬʬʬʬ(( 3:28 - 4:50 RITS)) Slowly did the male start to go insane. Many voices speaking, one after the other. Anger grew apparent quickly within his facial features. Tail stood up as a loud roar rose from his vocals. Blue flames rose from his full form, however tail lighting up as truly as a torch. Wingspan grew bright and strong - A wide array of tribal patterns spanned three full lengths wide. His eyes narrowed down sharply upon the three shrines. Sheer determination once again ruled over his current state. Strong hind legs pushed him up, taking a leap for the next hill up the climb as his wings thrust him off with a boost. Sharp claws dug into the ground during the ascend. All the meanwhile, during the rush to the top as he approached, yet another vision had sent him frozen in place, motionless. Eyes vibrant and narrow as wings faded like sparks of a flame. His body was once more transported into time, flames extinguished as the surrounding fog thickened. Forestry.. Wildlife, plant life.. Growing and spanning. Spirits roamed and protected it from threat and danger. The very same that arose fertility around him. However brief, the vision ended, causing him to drop as he once more hit reality.
ʬʬʬʬʬ His body trembled from a state of shock - Being thrown back and fourth between mental realms. He remained low on the ground, frozen, eyes motionless with a sight stuck on ground. The vast energies that bloomed around him surrounded him, gathering together as they shared their energy with him. A state of enlightenment slowly arose from within, helping to clear his mind. However helpful.. It was striking more visions. Nothing could be seen but light and sun in the background - Foreground revealing the Lady of Flame holding her Ankh in one hand, Was Scepter in another. Blooming in was nature, spreading wild green across the dead desert. Slowly.. Fading out of his memory as the visions went away, his mind was let go to once again see reality. One large heave of a breath was taken, eyes shut. Exhaling, eyes opened slowly and he stood and the march resumed - Lotuses blossoming around his form. A steep climb leading to an unsuccessful attempt to rise higher, sliding down before managing to get a grip once more. Emitting their way back into life, his wings bloomed and aided in the push, leveling him high enough to grip the top of the hill and claw his way up.
ʬʬʬʬʬ Fiercely did his eyes gaze upon the nearest shrine to the waterfall, furthest from the steep climb. Wings remained intact as the fog begun to settle back into land and the seeping flames sunk into the ground with - clearing the trail that had been left behind him. The grass oddly thinned out at the top, each paw pressed upon the ground with claws sinking down. The male made his way past the large tree. It is here where a vast number of spirits emerged from within him - dancing around the tree as if it were a ritual, their treasure. The blossoming ended there, the tree simply grew vivid in colour of life. As he passed the tree and approached the final shrine, two last spirits made stance ahead of him towards the edge. Two large lights, however larger was one. As the spirits roamed the top of the hill, shrines burned vividly - making clear their previous bond with the spirits. His eyes focused on them solely, firm stance upon the ground with a thick tail lay upon the ground flat. Wings slowly diminished to air as they moved downwards only to reshape with every heave. Sapphire flame begun to seep around him as clouds of the flames pulsed down from him, blooming out like ripples of water.
ʬʬʬʬʬ ((Full Song S))Drekentai HieloRey: "We now make stance here, home as you dance and stand. Identify yourselves at once."
ʬʬʬʬʬYaksha & Yakshini: "We-ee are the Yaksha and Yakshini.. Protectors of Mother Gaia.. We are the caretakers of nature's treasures.."
ʬʬʬʬʬHyperion: "I am Hyperion.. I am light itself. Your energy only feels right to bond with. Your wings.. They are I as is your light."
ʬʬʬʬʬ With every cloud that bloomed across the spirits, their lights grew brighter, pulsing with each wave. One of the spirits had not taken any form, it remained but a solid light. It is as though it in itself was but a representation of the element of light. However with the pulses.. The dancers took word, multiple voices being heard chaining together to form phrases. No sense was made as for reasoning. The one light.. Only one had not spoken yet. Faint growl grew, light frown forming. Answers were not all coming.
ʬʬʬʬʬYaksha & Yakshini: "Desire to protect all that is nature.. It is us.."
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "Two of three.. Explain your silence!"
ʬʬʬʬʬ Final spirit grew bright with anger at his tone. Settling down as it slowly took form. The visions - The names, all comes to reality to him. Fading into existence could be seen the Lady of Flame. Piece by piece she sparked into existence as spirit. Was Scepter, Ankh, Egyptian garments and long ear rings, bare chest and mere war-like lower body clothing. Uraeus with a Solar Disk, Egyptian wig and lioness head with red pelt and non feline physique to Drek. There stood a deity of ancient times, holding her two symbolic pieces.
ʬʬʬʬʬSpirit: "Thou hast the ways of Ma'at. Divine soul is key."
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "That is not a name!"
ʬʬʬʬʬSpirit: "I am Lady of a Thousand Names. Goddess of Warfare, Vengeance and the Sun, Flaming One, Mother of the Gods, Great One of Magic, Eye of Ra, Great one of Healing, Elixir of Life, Lady of Ma'at, Keeper of Light. Must I go on!"
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "Your true name is what I desire!"
ʬʬʬʬʬSekhmet: "I am Sekhmet, Eye of the Sun. Do not tempt my destructive urges young one."
ʬʬʬʬʬ A thump clouded from the deity's Scepter, sending a hardening vibe through Drek as he becomes once more transported to a vision - however Sekhmet follows with. She is seen devouring humanity by the soul, blood lust and murder cried from the scene. Only did the rebellions suffer, despite a growing blood lust of rage. Suddenly she shifted him to a temple.. Only few rays of light passed through. Hundreds of statues of the goddess stood tall as spirits flowed through with a healing hand.
ʬʬʬʬʬSekhmet: "The humans chose to plot against, thus I hast been sent to defend - Guardian of Southern Egypt. Hand of disease also cures, my priests and priestesses known as the best healers."
ʬʬʬʬʬ Once more, the vision ended as the male regained motion, head looking over to either side on the ground - back home again. Sharp eyes gazed ahead to the Deity as she walked, standing closer to him. Sekhmet held her scepter out towards Drek, pointing as her grip remained firm on the Ankh.
ʬʬʬʬʬ (( 2:25 - End S))Sekhmet: "Thou hast fire burning lividly within thou's soul. Thou are a concentration of the sun, my child. It is a gift, the capability to control such force. As with my will, thou too shall protect Ma'at: Truth, Balance, Morality, Justice.. Order and Law."
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "But why me.. Of all life? I had nothing special before you all showed up - I was but a young one!"
ʬʬʬʬʬHyperion: "Kensel.. He seeks to devour. We could not allow his already-endless life to such things!"
ʬʬʬʬʬSekhmet: "He was wrong-doing! His life stood against all of Ma'at! Even Ra would succumb to him." She set her Scepter back down, standing upon the land.
ʬʬʬʬʬYaksha & Yakshini: "Prote-ro-tect.. Life.. Gaia.. We guard as one.."
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "Why not stop him yourselves!"
ʬʬʬʬʬSekhmet: "We are but spirits, we do not roam the world physically. Thou are our passage, our source, our energy. Thou are us! Thou's abilities are but a faint fraction of us. The fire, the healing, is I."
ʬʬʬʬʬHyperion: "The light, the wisdom is I."
ʬʬʬʬʬYaksha & Yakshini: "Watchers of your soul, it is we.."
ʬʬʬʬʬSekhmet: "Thou's morals follow Ma'at, it is not I. Thou has a strong will, now follow it. Show destruction upon the rebellion threatening justice!"
ʬʬʬʬʬ((Full Song W)) Drek stood there, vibrant green eyes looking into emptiness. One by one each spirit was magnetized to his tail, absorbing them one by one until no more remained but Sekhmet. She gave him a subtle nod with closed eyes before fading out into nothing but a spirit. As she seeped to his tail, he could feel the intense energy as she returned home. The male moved towards the edge, all of the erupted flames have burnt out, wings sweeping through the air still. Standing at the edge, his eyes closed as he took the moment to inhale, calmly letting out his breath. All of which he had just learned and seen was enough to put one into coma from shock or fear.
ʬʬʬʬʬ Head down, paws just over the edge as the male was down on the ground with wings still erect and vivid. Sekhmet's last words had been coming to mind. Many questions for her, however only the one piece had crossed his mind. He had the feeling that something was coming..
ʬʬʬʬʬ ((Full Song RLH)) Not long after, he could hear the cries of torment. Head jolting in the direction as his eyes narrowed down, trying to see what was going on. The closer the creature got, the more presence would be heard. Entering visibility was a beat up lion, running for life as a group of three followed. Suddenly the female rogue had reached a dead end in the hills, cornered in fear.
ʬʬʬʬʬRogue: "Is it so much to ask for to get water in wild territory!"
ʬʬʬʬʬGroup Leader: "Yes it is because we decided it was our territory afterwards. Now, we're hungry and you're going to be our meal. There's no running!"
ʬʬʬʬʬ Not too far from where he was, just down below was the rogue as the group slowly approached her together. Drek never allowed any kind of violence or attacks within his land. After hearing the rogue's words, a frown grew upon his face. The male took stance, lunging himself off the cliff. The rogue and group had heard him as he leaped off from the cliff. All backing away a little. Wings expanded wide and out as he got closer to land, slowing down the fall as his body thumped on the ground. Lifting his head to gaze upon the group and wings spread wide, a deep growl grew.
ʬʬʬʬʬGroup Leader: "I suggest you move out of the way before you become lunch as well."
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "And I suggest you get off my land before it's too late for you."
ʬʬʬʬʬGroup Leader: "Threats don't work on us. Get the rogue, he's mine."
ʬʬʬʬʬ Drek's tolerance grew small - anything but fond of them. Tail standing up, eyes growing vivid, his paws had lit the burner, blue flames rising. His wings sharpened up like artificial blades at the joints. The Group grew cautious, however determination ruled over the leader. Quickly, the leader begun to run forward before getting held back by the tail. He thumped down and snarled at his group. Their eyes showed a strong pigment of fear as they tried pulling back the leader. All the meanwhile, the rogue stood behind him against the hill, heaving in fear, did not know what was happening.
ʬʬʬʬʬGroup Member: "That really doesn't look like a great idea.. Let's go."
ʬʬʬʬʬGroup Leader: "You got lucky, rogue."
ʬʬʬʬʬ The group had turned around, leaving the lands and returning to where they came from. Drek begun to settle down as the flames begun to vanish with the wings. His facial features returned to a usual state as he turned to face the rogue, tail slithering across the land as long as it is. His eyes gazed at the rogue, who was trembling and heaving from the run and events.
ʬʬʬʬʬ ((Full Song AWT))Drekentai HieloRey: "Go rest by the shrine down at the Den, past the hill. It will help with rest. There's also water there if need be."
ʬʬʬʬʬRogue: "Thank you.. What.. what are you?"
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "Many things. These are my home lands, do not worry of attacks.. Not often others cross these lands, to add."
ʬʬʬʬʬ The rogue slowly stood, making way past Drek with her head back, eyes on him before she turned back ahead, heading towards the Den he mentioned. She was in too big a state of shock to question much.. She needed rest, especially water. Drek turned, looking as she headed off to the Den. Drek made his way back to the hill where he would rest atop of it. Being near the three shrines had given him a strong feel of being grounded, sharing his energy with them. It was still sun out, however moonlight was slowly becoming more apparent, night time was arriving slowly. The male had settled down next to the shrine that once contained Sekhmet's spirit. His long tail wrapped around his body, head rested out with the Den in sight. He saw as she sipped water from the water hole, until his eyes went to rest.
