Tyrant 178 The Two Paths

The Chief Ogre try to stop Igor from moving but the pressure from Ridd.i.c.k and Xiao threw a bucket of cold water on his head.

"Move and there would be no survivors" Said Ridd.i.c.k

Igor didn't activate any skills and just swung his weapon around but hit nothing at all before receiving a kicked to the stomach that made him fly back and then puke his dinner.

"My name is Rahz, Headmaster of the Vengeance Chamber of the Temple of the Dreadnought. If you want to avenge your mother, go to the Abyss once you are strong and you can fight me there". Rahz looked around and waited to see if any of the Ogres that had survived wanted to step up but besides the deranged little kid everybody else just avoided his gaze.

In many of the Ogre's minds, the pain that they all experienced was the Chief wife's fault. It was no secret that the item was brought over to the tribe by her even after many of the wise elders told her to dispose of it and now that calamity had come knocking at their door, it was only natural for her to die as punishment.

"The Item is in a cave at the back of the village, chosen of the great Lady Louxx" said the oldest of the Witch Doctors.

"You don't recognized me... do you?"

Everyone looked around but they slowly shook their heads while Elune look around for confirmation.

"I do, however, remember you perfectly… you like to eat the brain of the enemies you kill while you continue to cast your skills on the other enemies" said Elune.

"H.H..How do you know that"

Elune gave a sinister smile and said, "Because I watched you do it!!!"

Everyone listening was perplexed and couldn't understand what was happening, what was the problem with eating the brain of the enemy? In the Ogre tribe's mind mind it was common knowledge that it made it easier to capture the soul of the departed that way.

The Chief on the other hand looked like he was constipated and trying to relief himself while working hard to remember the lady standing in front of him.

AHHH!!! YOU ARE THE KID! YOUR ARE THE KID FROM BACK THEN! Said the chief with a deep voice.

"Yes, I am that kid and today was revenge for my parents, family and friends"

"You..you were not here for the item?" asked a random tribe member.

"Oh don't worry, I am taking the item... let's just say is the price for your lives"

The group continue to walk towards the hidden chamber under the gazes of all the Ogres that just looked and stood in place waiting for an order from their leader. The truth of the matter was that in the minds of everyone in the tribe, they now belong to Elune.

It was one of the basic believes that Fadall had deeply rooted inside their DNA from the inception of the race.

Conquered or be conquered!

There was no shame in being defeated, the shame came in running away from a fight. Now that they had been defeated, their new leader and master Elune had to decide their fates so they just waited patiently.

Elune didn't know any of the thoughts running through the Ogre tribe and just concentrated in reaching the hidden cave while her memories resurface in her mind and tears fell down her cheeks.

"She did it! She had avenge her family and even though she didn't wipe the Ogre tribe from the face of Elysian, she felt that she had accomplished her duty"

Elune kept walking with steady steps and the piles of bones inside the hidden cave made her feel like her clan members were staring back at her. Elune kept moving forward while she was deep in her thoughts until she arrived next to the altar at the back of the room where a crystal skull that had hair attached to it that pointed upward stood waiting to be grabbed.

The skull resonated with the unseal bracelet and immediately started shedding its skin. Underneath the crystal exterior, an old skull with 2 sets of eyes and a mouth with no teeth revealed itself and when Elune grabbed it by the hair a string of information streamed into her mind.

Embodiment of Pain. Legendary Item Forged by Louxx. Plaguebringer set 2/5.

Modified Witch Doctor

Increases the Wisdom and intelligence of the Witch Doctor allowing for a better understanding of the spirit realm greatly improving their Incarnation Link.

Increases resistance Vs the Elements by 10 %

Increases the mana capacity of the Witch Doctor by 20%

Increases potency of all detrimental spells of poison, disease and spirit curses to a master level.

Deadly Velium Virus: The mouth of the Embodiment of Pain becomes a portal allowing pa.s.sing to some of the pathogens from the plane of decay to a.s.sail the enemies of the witch doctor, increasing the sensitivity of pain receptors by 300%.

Protection of the Plaguebringer: Imbue the wards of the Witch Doctor with the Divinity of Decay causing all damage to the target protected by the ward to decay greatly reducing the energy of the attack to 10% of the original power. Can be use 5 times.

The item was amazing, it allowed Elune to be more attune to the spirit Realm those getting a lot more value from her Val'gun form while also inadvertently making the Curse of the Spirits from the Embodiment of Suffering alot more potent.

The other enhancement further increased her lethality while using poisons and decease but the best part of all was the defensive options from the Protection of the Plaguebringer which meant 5 chances at life since the attacker had to be able to kill them with and attack so great that only 10% of it was enough to kill them in the first place and with their levels only Pendragon could achieve it but the window was closing fast.

Elune had been lucky that she didn't have to summon Louxx to unseal the item and her whereabouts were not expose to the G.o.d which was sure to threaten the unborn child in her belly.

With the securement of the Avatar piece out of the way, it was time to bury the bones of her relatives to grant them the most awaited peace. The Ogre's were required to dig the graves for the departed and this help reduced the grievances and resentment of the spirits.

The ceremony was short but it provided Elune the peace of mind to move forward with her life and without thinking it twice she said "Hey Rahz, I am Pregnant".

"Good!"

While Elune was observing the last of her clan members pa.s.s on, Rahz was looking forward but his thoughts were elsewhere. Rahz was contemplating where to go next, he was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't register what Elune had said to him.

"Good? that's it? Did you hear what I said?"

"Hmm...Something about being pregnant no?"

Elune punched him in the gut but despite the way he looked his body was like a rock, "a.s.shole!".

Rahz saw Elune walking away while she tried very hard not to cast healing on her fist.

"What did I say?" Rahz asked around but all he got was people shaking their heads.

"What is pregnant?" said Ridd.i.c.k.

What?

"Sister Elune said that she was pregnant, so what is it?"

It finally dawn on Rahz that shout to the heavens "WOOHOO!" and ran after Elune that was already heading to their temporary home, the Ogre Chief's House.

Elune look at Rahz with a face that was waiting for something witty from Rahz but he just hugged her and said "I Love You".

There was nothing fancy just his true feelings but they conveyed all the emotions that he was feeling at the moment. The Child that was on the way changed everything, the Swamp of Sorrow was definitely not a place to have a children and he didn't want to head back to Helgahvall so this left two paths available, they could head to the Forest of Elphenheim that seem pretty far away or they could keep moving south towards the Temple of the Rising Sun.

Rahz was fine either way but he was not the one having to deliver the child so after careful deliberation Elune decided that the best course of action was to go to the temple and remain there until the child was born before embarking in another adventure towards the land of the elves.

In the midst of all that was happening, Igor was nowhere to be found. The incident with his mother had shook him, he didn't understand why the people that had helped him when he was in need came back and killed his people but most importantly, he learned that unless he grew up to be strong everybody could do whatever they wanted with the people he cared about.

The little ogre left the village like before and all he kept repeating non stop was "Abyss, Temple of the Dreadnought, Headmaster of the Vengeance Chamber…. Abyss Temple of the Dreadnought, Headmaster of the Vengeance Chamber"

Igor left towards the temple of the dreadnought much like Rahz had done after his father died, along the way he made many friends which included the Daughter of a Half Barbarian/Half Elf that was going to visit her Great Grandfather in the Abyss City of s.h.i.+njuku. Their group became extremely famous even overshadowing the infamous Demon Squad.
