Salem was silent as they continued to move, speaking only for direction. Victor was well aware that the answer he gave him wasn’t the best but at the very least it would shut him up about it until after this test was done. Soon the duo came to a stop and the location of what was their next test. The count listened closely to the words Salem spoke and took a few minutes to think.

“Hmm, ‘to whom walks amidst Time’s tangled web, look close at that which walks removed.’ Definitely talking about us and something that neither of us walk with or live with.” Another pause as he continued to think, “Three keys to enlightenment of our kind-Might, Majesty, and Mastery-and yet not all three command them. Pick the light that guides their way and keep it safe on your way to have your diligence paid in kind. Stay to the right as it shines.” Repeating it aloud again. “One to choose, stay to the right? A maze perhaps. Or only when it shines, three keys to enlightenment, three choices paid in kind. Well which ever we choose we will be tested. But might doesn’t solve everything even if we are good at it.” Again another pause. "boar for strength, Ocean Wave for majesty, and Flower for mastery."

“Majesty is lacking with both of us but still there and neither of us have mastered anything. The last part is just in case we are running low on time. I haven’t felt the temperature change dramatically yet and it will get colder before the dawn. Choose Mastery and let’s take the path on the right. I’m sure it will be fun.” He answered with a smile, these tests are taxing but a challenge he wasn’t expecting.

Dodge, Dive, Duck, Dip, and Dodge > Time for a swim /// Adventuring day 5 // Evening / Location - The Shimmering Pool

This engagement was taking far too long, this war of attrition where the core definitely had more resources. This sword wasn’t absorbing the energy as quickly as he had hoped and now he was surrounded. “This sucks, I hate this game of tag.” He thought, his wings where tired and his stamina was starting to get lower. “This new life is hard.”

Changing up the game was what he needed to do, power wasn’t going to get them out of this strategy might. Or just pure randomness. For now Ardur chose to be random. Seeing the crackling energy of the enemies around him with the sword behind him. He was still going forward and the dam undead where still keeping up.

Surrounded on almost all sides with little left to go. One way he hadn’t tried yet, down. With a deep breath he dropped, dropped until he was under water and kept going. He swam down for a few more seconds before swimming back towards the shore. Honestly he had no idea what new dangers where in here or if the Wisps would attempt to follow him down into the swords domain in the first place. Getting to shore now was likely his best bet, at least his wings could rest now.

Mirik


Mirik was having fun with all these new people, his feelings portrayed more from his wagging tail then his stoic exterior. Two new people then began to approach the crowd as his friend was explaining that the man before him was not in charge but someone called dust wallow. Before he could ask any questions a big green girl human walked up to him and began inspecting him.

The green human was a bit strange but wasn’t bashful at all, even her words were strange and hard for him to pick up on. The other smaller human seemed to keep her distance and just looked at him. At least he was getting used to the staring. “Why Hoooman Green?” he asked while equally examining the other women.

He almost didn’t hear what his friend Rob was saying until he looked over towards him and the other girl that had approached. He was being introduced again he could tell by the gestures or at least that is what he hopped. “Me Mirik, come t-talk weath hoomans.” He seemed to pause again, this being normal to him now with using their language, “Mirik Sarcogan, Mirik help Roooob from smoll slith. Roob Afraid feeeeline.”

Almost on cue with realizing he was talking to the leader by how Robb was talking to her the large lizard quickly pulled his pack around and began digging through it again before pulling something out that was wrapped carefully in some sort of cloth. Mirik was being incredibly carful with it and approached the mayor, once he was within just a few more steps he knelt down to her level and slowly unwrapped it.

What he held was what looked like a small vial made out of some sort of hallowed out crystal or crude glass. Sealed within by a wooden cork was a dark purple and pink liquid. It almost seemed to shimmer in the sunlight, clearly it was special by how carefully he was carrying it. “Gift for leeeeader, this from sacred Spirit treeee. Enough for two. This make sleeppp then see…..” he was trying to think of a way to explain but couldn’t quite find the words. “Make see… mmmmm… See Spirit of past you. talk get answer to questions.” Mirik would stay there and wait for her to accept, giving a slight defensive hiss to anyone else that would try to grab it.

Time to strike > Dodge, Dive, Duck, Dip, and Dodge /// Adventuring day 5 // Evening / Location - The Shimmering Pool

The swing through the lead undead was satisfying, carrying his momentum through to aid in his flying speed. The mob was definitely following him now. He could almost feel the sheer volume of incoming fire at him. These things really didn’t like any of them.

The only thing he could think to do to avoid the shots coming in at him was to dart and spin to the left and right while still going forward. He was trying to copy how the planes in the old war movies moved when they were in dog fights. To add to this he was still holding his bone club. While twirling and twisting he attempted to keep the bone covering his weak spots and to deflect incoming fire.

Ardur did his best to keep all course corrections on target and on point all to get to his lake friend. “Incoming.” He called out to her for her to ready herself. Maybe she might even be able to absorb some of the magic shots that where bound to hit the water.

The walls crept in closer and closer, Salem’s voice seemed to be getting further and further away. At the very least he got his answer he didn’t hesitate to repeat the name given to him to the girl sitting before him. “Alice Spellman.” His voice was quiet but filled with kindness, something one wouldn’t expect to use on something they thought was just an illusion.

He knew he was stalling, his reluctance to even speak her name to his mage was troubling. How she could affect him even now was troubling. He was sure it was because he hadn’t truly dealt with her passing. “Her-“ stopping for a moment before just yelling out her name, “Sarah Rift.” His hand clenched on the table to the point it nearly splintered the wood. This practical will definitely be something he has never dealt with and seemed intent on facing the things that haunted his dreams.

A Deal? > Time to strike /// Adventuring day 5 // Evening / Location - The Shimmering Pool

Ardur paused for a moment as he watched the mana orb trail off into the distance, “Well that’s a handy thing to know.” He thought as undine claimed a wisp that drew to near the water’s surface. The voice spoke again telling him that he still lacked the strength, mana, and skill required to wield the sword, “at least i know you can make a pact with me... what ever that means.”

Glancing over towards the group that was just about to cross the pool he formulated a plan. “Ok im going to go draw those flyers over the water as close as I can. I’ll leave the rest to you. If it doesn’t work I’ll try to drown them.”

A good enough plan, simple, dangerous, and exciting. With a smile on his face he flew towards the group of flyers. “Im going to distract those flanking then return for support.” He called out towards the rest of the party. With the bone club in hand he continued flying toward the enemies.

Aiming for one of the undead in the lead, Ardur swung the bone at them in a drive by attack then banked sharply to the right and down towards the pool. Hoping the rest of the monsters would follow as he attempted to drag them closely along the top of the pool and eventually in a circle. If he was able to he would attempt to strike some of them down into the water itself. He was well aware that this maneuver would use multiple physical skills at the same time. Like his strength, physical conditioning, and faster skills. This could also help out with some sort of agility skill as well if it existed.

Asking for help from a friend > A Deal? /// Adventuring day 5 // Evening / Location - The Shimmering Pool

Again he received a familiar reply from the pool once again. He didn’t have much time to reply to her as two mana orbs crackled towards him. Reacting on instinct he jumped back and swung the old bone at them hoping to absorb or deflect the blasts.

Looking back to the pool for a moment while Asura told him to deal with the flyers his attention torn between her and the encroaching enemy’s. He didn’t have a lot of time here. “Then how about a deal? Let me wield you or some kind of version of you. Help us destroy the core, I know we can do it together. I may not be the strongest or the most powerful but I have the will to get it done. Help us do this, once we are done I will return you to the pool so you can rest in peace. Then I give you my word that I will find a hero for you or meet those requirements myself.”

Honestly he had no idea just like with most of his decisions what exactly he was getting himself into. To him it felt like he was jumping in front of those bullets all over again. either way he couldn't talk to her forever he needed to get back into it and go after the flyers.

Victor didn’t say much as the scene unfolded before him. He could see again somehow he knew that this wouldn’t last. The fog soon dissipated and sitting before him wasn’t someone he recognized. Examining the woman before him he could see that the illusion was quiet remarkable but the princess wouldn’t poison a human and put them in front of them like this for some simple test.

A voice that sounded far off caught his attention, clearly Salem freaking out. He really needed to teach the boy about not jumping to conclusions and keeping a calm head about things. “Im sure he will grow out of it.” He thought to himself. “No he probably won’t.” This time talking to himself.

“Salem!” yelling now, “this seems to be part of the test, describe who you are talking to remember so we can guess their names.” He paused for a moment so the boy could think before continuing. “For example there is a women sitting across from me, she looks young maybe in her 20’s or 30’s with a darker skin tone. She has brown curly hair past her shoulders and brown eyes. She is clutching her throat and by the discoloration of her skin, the look in her eyes of shock, and the spilling tea that she has been poisoned.”

He figured that was a good enough explanation of the women before him but he only hoped that Salem could hear him. Victor could only wonder who Salem was going to describe for him. Still, the very thought that Salem could have killed someone like this or gotten them killed like this was absolutely intriguing. If the boy was able to actually kill someone even on accident he would be surprised.

A line in the sand > Asking for help from a friend /// Adventuring day 5 // Evening / Location - The Shimmering Pool

Ardur could see that Trent still had his head in the game. At the very least he didn’t seem too shaken by the onslaught of those in front of them. Asura seemed to be holding his own but was beginning to take some hits. Steve and mother slime were not quite able to engage quite yet but were getting closer.

A few blinking lights caught his eye over the pond, the simple fluttering of pixie and wisps in the distance. They weren’t heading towards them but more at an angle, were they attempting to flank them? Intelligence like that wouldn’t be something he would expect from a bunch of undead but perhaps this could be showing some intelligence from the core itself. Thoughts and experiment’s for another time.

What could he do about it? The others were fighting up front and the room there was restricted. Fighting them in open combat was a choice but he wanted them to draw in closer first where he could possibly have more cover from the others. Using spells wasn’t something he wished to do either, wanting instead to use it on healing spells.

What about the last time they were in this sort of predicament? The Sword. That’s right the sword was in that pool. The last thing it said was to return with a hero but it also said that it had borrowed mana from Asteria.

The High Pixie dropped from his elevated position to the side of the pool nearby. Sticking his left hand in the pool and focusing like he would do when talking to the holy spirits. This time he focused on the sword and spoke. “Sword of the pool, its Ardur again. I have not returned with a hero but some day I will meet your requirements or find someone that does. For now we could use a hand destroying the dungeon core and purifying this cave if you can help.” Releasing a pulse of mana he would normally give up to guidance into the pool and stepping back.
