Communicating with a spirit with the aid of Xuelian

have one?"
[20:32] the large beast, covered in a disipating dark fluid, that smelled of occult, with flowering vines that where covered in cosmic magic, it was… beutifull, in a way, it's body looked like the night sky, a Deep dark with beutifull stars on it…

but then, the fluids started disipating quicker, revealing a mutant, a large one, with 3 heads, the head of a hellhound on the middle, with tusks and horns

on the left, a snake head, with it's mouth divided on 4, each and one of them could open like a flower did, it had super dark Green scales, with the occult simbols on it's back

and then, the head of a bird, was it an Eagle? it's feathers dark, with many, many eyes on them, under the beak, something resided, a big opening, with many "skeletons" under it, each of them, dark, pilling up to get out, but unable to, they seemed far smaller, and their openings iradiated with occult light, each one of them, whispering on diferent voices
(Twisted creature)
[20:44] ".... Xuelian… Was this your brilliant idea of surprising Kit-Kat with a pet.. right?"

Sapphire hues fell to the monstrosity that stood before the two.

A large distorted creature that dark fluid constantly leaked out of. The smell was vulgar, causing the keen sense of the beastkin to step back as if he was in withdrawal; and on the verge to throw up.

"Fuck that..." he frowned as he rose his head towards the creature.

Three heads sat ontop, one in the shape of a snake with a mouth that divded into four, a hell hounds face that bore tusks in the middle, and the face of an eagle on the end.

Symbols glowed upon it's back as the Aegeus rested his hand against the hilt of his blade.

"Xue…. What the fuck am I staring at..?" he asked as he pinched at the bridge of his nose with looking at the corrupted creature.

It was evident to anyone around that they held a strong occultic aura to it. Nasty in all it's ways as he couldn't help but frown upon such an oddity.

"Skeletons? Maybe it's hungry. Find it a bone or something so the stench can go away."
(Eliphas Aegeus)
[20:50] Xue wasn't expecting this- An eight two chimeric beast man being followed by one of his students and himself. He went into the forest out of concern, ending up partially carrying Hammer. Holy shit this midget was stronger than he looked, making weapons as a blacksmith and magi-strength made him a little power house.

"Not a pet... He's a person! A heavy one!

I will honestly say you are like the second tallest person I've met and helped walk." He exhaled a bit to show it was in-fact! A work out, but he had determination to keep going. He did get a good look at the differences Hammer had compared to the last meeting, though he didn't care about that part.

"Nice changes, though I think your occult is getting stronger... I uh. I use spiritual to light to heal, it might feel weird." He stated helping the creature sit down- Wait did he just completely ignore what this... thing was?!

Though, no, the Head Shaman knew. He started doing a physical on his friend, he didn't care about being zapped or poisoned. Though after he stopped he placed his hand on Hammer- Something started to emanate in the creature that wasn't there before.

Essence? A human soul?

Xue was connecting the Spiritual Realm's healing light... A Fairy-Like Aura, a veil of the Aurora surrounded the large body. It seemed to ward off the occult- No, it was balancing out the Occult. It's something Osrona couldn't get right, there needed to be balance. Spiritual Harmony and the Spirit Realm was gladly to give assistance.

He started with the paralysis0 Moving the electricity into his own body as the gift from the Spirits did it's work. Xue's Aura wasn't as completed as a Fae's as he taught himself to do this, but it was a feat none-the-less. A few people were scared of him as it gave them Xian flashbacks.
(Xuelian Bei-Feng)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:00] as the liquid started clearing out from it's chest, arms, and hips, the beast had changed completly, black fur replaced the old grey, some spots had bright spots, simbols of occult and cosmic magic, bright as the stars of the night sky

as the fluid continued to be removed, large feathers tained black and White, the black ones, had the simbols of the cosmos, while the White ones, the ones from the occult, a true simbiosis

it's arms, for ever changed, large claws on it's once original and natural arms, covered in the fur

it's second pair of arms, replaced by two reptilian arms with 4 fingers all of them clawed, and it's scales, a dark Green

the bulk of the creature was far larger, and in the middle of the chest, a plant, a parasite, with flowers that had a cosmic glow

then, all of the heads talked

"we do not feel weird, we are fine Xuelian, and who is that behind you, it's smell, it reminds us from the blind one, and the lover, but he does not seem, vile"
(Twisted creature)
[21:02] Twisted creature asks, "Are you scared?"
[21:02] Twisted creature says, "We don't want to scare you."
[21:09] Eliphas couldn't help but stare at the oddity the creature was.

"Um.. I kinda.. feel weirded out. I'm not going to lie Xue, so in order to make this a lot easier. On everyone.." he turned on a heel.

"I'll let you two settle your discussion. Send me a letter when your done alright Xue?"

He stopped before waving a hand towards the creature.

"N-..Nice to meet you.. Sorry but.. Your bringing back up some odd things that I have recently done.. Maybe another time we can have a conversation but as of now? I gotta.. think about the decisions I've made."

"later."
(Eliphas Aegeus)
[21:25] The occult didn't bother Xue- He was like Chaska in that right, or Dallan when he was betrayed by Osrona. A new form from the beast seen as the fluids cleared, he glanced towards Eliphas.

"This is Eliphas, another Half-Kitsune I believe? I know from his last name he's family to Dallan, who's class I teach in the academy now. Without those teachings I couldn't use magic as I do, or Spirits at all. So without the blind one I'd have never been able to impress Balam and become the first Head Shaman in decades to not be a Meztin.

So I teach him as Dallan did me.

Also- He's cool, Eli... this is my friend. He's really nice when you get to know him. He lives in Shadowmire, that's all." Small world, very small world.

The Essence closely connected with his own soul for mana as the cosmic-poison combination slowly started to clear up. The balance between the spirit world and the occult slowly taking more shape, the feeling of the Spirits so close to the Souls. A genuine connection to balance out and stabilize a body- Using the same method to purify Shadowmire but on Hammer as a sort of test run.

This type of method to attempt to make the residents... whole again, why on Hammer? Easy... He was using his emotions to cast the healing, that was the main key. He was letting his emotions flow through the light based mana, yet he was keeping calm and quiet about it.

A balanced mind- A balanced heart- A balanced body- A balanced soul working in this unison working under the one goal. It wasn't to mend Hammer, it was to help Hammer which is why the soothing lights were doing whatever they could... Eventually the light stopped and just receded into the creature's circuits, the mana radiating and mending over time.

To Xue it was an odd connection, as he basically connected deep into the other person but this was a new experience due to the nature of whom was being healed. He looked at his hand for a moment before looking upwards.

"How do you all feel?"
(Xuelian Bei-Feng)
[21:35] the beasts's hellhound head take a Deep look at Xuelian, taking a Deep breath, almost a whole new body, covered in a hybrid of both occult and cosmic, a link to a dark star… he was blinded on his new magics, he was unable to know who he would become, now, his life was for ever changed

after the self reflection that was only long seconds in silence, it finaly decided to talk

"We feel fine... diferent, changed, and evolved, our body flows, we feel the stars on our body, but we need, to learn more... we are no longer one, but a collective"

the beast went silent again, then looked at Eliphas, a taste, it remembered, it enraged him, it made it's hearts boil with hate, but, then they remembered, ´the child shall not carry the sins of their fathers´, it's anger quickly settling

"Ah... sorry if we scared you, we are Twisted Hammer, Forgemaster and a beast, we know that we are not pleasing to look at, but, we only wanted to talk today, and the other days to come"
(Twisted creature)
[21:57] Eliphas frowned at Xue's words.

A sigh dragged from his parted lips as he hung his head low, only to turn back around on his heel before moving to Xue's side. A massive hand rose as he placed it upon the smaller man's shoulder as he spoke.

"I'm Eliphas Aegeus, Dallan and Meia's son."

He racked his head from side to side, thinking about the unknown tasks that he needed to complete. He did need to speak to Rosemarin about a pressing concern. But at the end of the day, he needed to learn as much as he could from Xuelian before moving on. So he decided to stay and wait until after to receive his private lessons.

"Wait.. Don't tell me that you. Knew my parents?"

His focus narrowed on the twisted creature. Eliphas started to think that his life was getting stranger and stranger, each passing day he'd meet someone who either hated his parents, or loved them. It was never in the middle as both sides would always held great resentment, or a lot of love.

They also pinned their feelings onto him since his parents were both dead. So fun times!

But it was then at that VERY MOMENT, that Eliphas would realize the words that the twisted creature said. Something that perplexed his very way of thought, something that made him step forward towards the being as he rose his brow.

"Blind one?" he repeated, remembering how Dallan's vision was stolen from them before moments of their death, only being able to see with the aid of spiritmancy.

"No.. You don't scare me.. It's more like I did something.. Something... Not natural.. And your presence is making me wonder if I had made the right choice at the end of the day."

Little did the two know, he made a promise, putting his word onto it; as words held power. So did names, and he lost hard on his end.

The Aegeus's family name was on the line, including everything that made him; that's how much he'd follow through with his words, and now? He couldn't help but feel as if it might've been a mistake, but was it really?

He was given the short end of the stick, but he did what he had to. All in the name of what he loved, of what he held a passion for. Now that he knew that his father and mother knew this creature?

He couldn't help but realize that the deal he taken wasn't that bad after all.

"My apologies about how I acted before.. It's just that... Well something happened to me, and I'm unsure if it was the right decision.

Sapphire blue eyes watched Xue stepped forward, falling into a meditate-like state as they reached out towards the creature.

An essence rose, imbuing Xue with vigor as they began to tend the creatures wounds. Slowly they worked on the wound from the creature. Cleansing it as smaller spirits formed, becoming visable to the naked eye as the Shaman resumed their task.

Eliphas stared in awe as his hues glowed a faint hint of blue, he remained mesmerized as his focus turned to the wisps that floated about, carefully studying them as they worked in unison to relieve the creatures pain, healing it so that it'd be able to fight another day.

"Amazing..." his words faltered as Xuelian closed the wounds, he noticed that his aura had fallen. But, very much to his surprise, he was still able to see wisp-like spirits still trail Xuelian. Almost like they were following the shaman this entire time, but were hidden to the naked eye.

Smiling to himself, his attention was quickly drawn to the side at the mention of the creatures voice.

"No no, it was my fault." his lips softened, "I'd actually like to hear more about how you know of my mother and father."

Taking more steps, he placed himself before the creature. Eyes following the it's hulking size until he tried to attempt to stare at the multiple faces before him! (but he ended up settling on the middle head!)

"I'm pretty sure that since your a denizen of the Mire, my parents probably fought you.. Like a lot." he laughed. "So if you want, maybe we can have a go? Perhaps it'll give you some closure since the two have departed from our world."

(Eliphas Aegeus)

[22:04] Twisted creature says, "I hated your Mother, but your father was diferent"
[22:04] Eliphas Aegeus says, "Huh.. roles are usually reversed."
[22:04] Eliphas Aegeus says, "People usually hate my father and then my mother."
[22:05] Twisted creature says, "It was not weird for us to talk with him, we made him think, more so that what he may have expected, he wanted to rid the world of the Nerathim, a noble goal, and a understandable one"
[22:06] Twisted creature says, "But, your mother, she attacked us, like many of the self called heroes that roam about today, some things never change i would guess, i remember that day..."
[22:07] Twisted creature says, "20 years ago, perhaps 22, my mind is still puzzled about what time it was before i woke again from my slumber"
[22:07] {Item} You picked up Glowing Mushroom..
[22:07] Eliphas Aegeus asks, "Really now?"
[22:07] Eliphas Aegeus asks, "Mind if I ask who won the fight?"
[22:08] Twisted creature says, "she had followed me a great deal of walk, we where in the middle of the desert..."
[22:08] Twisted creature says, "But then, a friend, one of many, his eyes, blue eyes, i remember them"
[22:08] Twisted creature says, "his spear remains on a grave near the mire's frontier..."
[22:08] Twisted creature says, "he was but a child at that time..."
[22:09] Eliphas Aegeus asks, "His spear? remains on the grave near the Mire's frontier?"
[22:09] Eliphas Aegeus asks, "What was their name?"
[22:09] Eliphas Aegeus asks, "If you can remember?"
[22:09] Twisted creature says, "Killian, he stood up for me... he decided that i was an innocent, he stood up to take the injury..."
[22:10] Eliphas Aegeus says, "Hmm.."
[22:10] Xue shook his head, "Dallan after he came back to life was betrayed by Osrona…" He wouldn't mention anything about the spirits but Xue could see them naturally- His eyes followed a Fox Wisp which returned to his side, it looked Eli in the eyes canting it's head before returning to staring up towards Hammer.

Several animal spirits surrounded Xue- All wisps... Minus a few stand outs- A part of a blind dragon's elemental energy, shifting into view for a moment. The staff- That was part of a Dragon, that's why there was always snow around the Head Shaman.

"But yeah, Shadowmire and people... they both want to purify Shadowmire and stop the Nethradyns. However people in Osrona want to do that at the expense of what in natural there, they can cure Howl from being a ghoul but all the innocent lives in that forest they can't? Hypocrites." Xue had no hate for anyone- But Osrona's actions fueled him with a fury that started freezing the grass.

"Even got Howl killed out of being steadfast over actual thought." He exhaled the ice away-

"You... knew Killian, too..? I miss him, too."
(Xuelian Bei-Feng)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:11] Twisted creature says, "but... i was filled on hatred... i knew i was going to loose against her, and i still fought, not to win, but because the Unchanged risked himself for me..."
[22:11] Eliphas Aegeus says, "I... I'm sorry that, that happened to you."
[22:12] Twisted creature says, "I can't say i knew him, many years had passed since those days"
[22:12] Xuelian Bei-Feng says, "I didn't get to know him well, either... He was Howl's stability when we were together."
[22:12] Twisted creature says, "He grew and became some sort of hero i believe"
[22:12] Twisted creature says, "i was saddned to hear about his passing, and i usualy go and repair the spear"
[22:12] Eliphas wonders if it would be right to take their spear, probably not.
(Eliphas Aegeus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:13] Xuelian Bei-Feng says, "...Then he died... All because a Witch wanted him dead and used the person he was protecting to kill him."
[22:21] Stepping back, Eliphas positioned himself in a place where he could view the two properly.

But as much as he wanted to focus on the twisted creature, his eyes were heavily drawn towards the spirits that moved around Xue's form.

"Huh... Cute little fella aren't you?" he smiled as he extended a hand towards Xuelian. Out of all the spirits that followed the Shamans form, there were a few individuals that stood out, mostly the fox spirit.

Extending a hand towards the spirit, he beckoned the kindred spirit over.

"Don't worry, I don't bite."

Paying little to any attention to the others conversation. He'd promise to bring up the issue with Osrona betraying his father later.

It part stuck out to him the most, especially the corrupted ways of Osrona that led to Howl's death. But in the end? He was more focused on playing with the spirit.
(Eliphas Aegeus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:22] Twisted creature says, "Kids will be kids."
[22:22] Xuelian Bei-Feng says, "Heh! That one's my favorite, too."
[22:26] the creature's heads look at the ones infront of it, then the hellhound head says

"We also became the Forge master of the mire, after we awakend the Kaor Blades and fused them together, naming them the ´Helheim Warden´. We are very proud from our work"
(Twisted creature)
[22:30] Xue blinked, "Oh, that-" It clicked, "Means Torgon passed, huh? Though I'm glad you've become a Forge Master. Well, on the upside... He'll rest peacefully.

The 'Helheim Warden' does sounds amazing, though. Were they like... Koar sized? Seeing a weapon bigger than you would be... Crazy." He stated with a chuckle.
(Xuelian Bei-Feng)
[22:30] Xuelian Bei-Feng says, "--Oh Letter."
[22:33] Xuelian Bei-Feng says, "Dallan's sister asking me to meet at the academy gates, weird."
[22:36] Twisted creature says, "Torgon is not dead"
[22:36] Twisted creature says, "He made me the forge master after he knew i was able to do good work for the mire"
[22:36] Twisted creature says, "I was his Protege after all..."
[22:37] Xuelian Bei-Feng says, "Oh... That's a relief."
[22:39] Beckoning over the kindred spirit, he watched as the fox-like spirit came to his call.

Slowly hovering towards him before jumping onto his left shoulder.

Ears perked forward as he turned to the attention of tnote of a Kaor blade.

"You fused Kaor blades together?" he asked with a newfound interest. "Can I have it?" he asked, wondering if the creatures of the Mire would allow him to wield such a gift.

"How much would you sell it for." Everything had a price. Saga taught him that herself.

"Wai... Wait.. Torgon passed?" he frowned as he thought about the denizens of the Mire, the ones who with held from meeting such a figure that could've aided him in his life. Someone to pass knowledge down to him, it was hard, tough even.

But he felt as if he missed someone that would've been detrimental to his livelihood.

But then, the twisted creature calmed his nerves.

"Wait he's alive?" he smiled, taking a step towards the hope that remained within him. A sigh of relief fell over him. "That's... Well that's good.."

He was grateful that he didn't have to run into the Mire and bash heads in. To prevent him from meeting the very person who could've assisted him through his problems.

"I'd love to see this weapon... But.. Before we do this." he turned to Xue. "Dallan has a sister?"
(Eliphas Aegeus)
