Awakening Of the Ring Part 1

On the giant planet

Inside the cave where beastmen once resided

When the elven team came inside they became very cautious from the scene they saw inside 'whole cave was in pitch black but from the distance, many pairs of bright eyes like things were seen, whoever was the owner of those eyes they seem to be moving as those pairs of eyes were shifting from one place to another. Those eyes had a green shade of brightness which was making those elves nerves tighten like ones fear their natural predators. even their leader and that archer who were both mid-grade grandmasters also felt their nerves tingling.

Elves captain said in a shaky voice "mages light the torches."

Soon both mages used "Burn" a basic spell to light the torches and the instant those torches started to light.

Captian then took one of the torches hastily and through towards interior of the cave when the flame of the torch stabilize and the inside of the cave came into view of the team they were shocked silly from what they saw.

All of them said in unison "undead"

In front of them at least 20 skeletons were present and all of them has some extra bones on some part of bodies which proved those skeletons to be of beastmen skeletons.

What shocked them most was not that there are skeletons in front of them but the sense of dread came from those skeletons. Under normal circumstances for the undead to form it require many years the vast presence of death energy and in some cases if an undead formed rather quickly they would be very fragile but these skeletons seem very powerful as they were feeling scared just from viewing them.

While there were not many places where undead formed in the elven kingdom but there were definitely some places if fact all of them had gone on a mission to eradicate undead in the past but they didn't felt this dread in themselves as they were feeling now.

Their captain quickly ordered them to retreat when he saw that skeletons are not reacting to there presence which was also in case of undead as try to kill any living being they come across even at the cost of there life. But ignoring a living being by the undead is completely unheard of. Captian after recording the scene by transmission stone he also retreated from the cave and quickly ordered there mage to seal the cave even tighter than it was before.

After they sealed the cave whole team started to return towards Silvermoon city as to put as much as the distance between them and the cave.

Moments after they left the cave a sound transmission came from transmission stone ordering them to return and not to explore the cave anymore.

The whole team of elves returned to Silvermoon city in three days one day extra from when they went to towards the cave. On the way back they were trying to form a contract similar to the archer who formed a contract with a chick. Without a doubt, all the tries failed but every time they killed some beast all of them feel hat they absorbed something from the beast but they couldn't tell what are the things they absorbed.

In fact, their caption already reported this matter with transmission stone but they didn't get a reply about it.

After returning to Silvermoon city they started to collect all the material they need to repair their boat and all the weapons of higher quality from the houses.

And the same day returned to the pier and started to repair their ship and took them nearly 4 days to finally repair their ship in a condition in which they believe it could survive the continuous attack of the beasts and they were confident that their speed would be greater than before as they had to expend a lot of energy on the ship when they came upstream but now they have to go downstream with the flow of water.

Next day boarded the ship and sailed towards the elven capital ship. This time on returning journey it took them 25 days to reach their destination. While their ship was in similarly tattered state but the elves were clearly less exhausted than before.

When they reached the pier of the capital city they were directly summoned in front of the elven empress.

They were directly asked what happened in the journey which included the connection between an elf and the beast. When they reported this matter through transmission stone, the empress has already told to look in the archive for the search of such relation of elf and beast but they found that only about an artefact which was used by beastmen of past to bond with the beast which was now lost.

But when the elven team who went to Silverwood city said that they didn't have such artefact, they had to go through full-body search. But even then express got a negative report about the artefact. Only then she asked that archer about his incident to the minute detail.

After the elves came out of the elven palace empress warned them about spreading the matter of the connection.

But the empress herself start contemplating about the situation of that archer when he formed the bond with that chick. From the whole situation she heard from that archer, she concluded few important points, one that chick was very hungry like it had not eaten from a day or two, the chick was most likely naively formed trust toward archer when he was giving that chick food, and finally third is that chick absorbed some blood of the solder and he unconsciously released some of the energy he absorbed from the beasts with his blood.

it some time the empress ordered guards to call for royal beastmasters. While guards went to call royal beastmaster.

Empress started to think about her current situation 'while other elves at lower levels might not be aware of but some high-level elves including her started to feel that that original mana inside her and other has suddenly started to change into some different but remain some mana like properties and this thing started to happen nearly a month ago which coincide with the time that archer formed a bond with that chick and when that archer said she concluded that, that energy seemed to be the cause of the bond between them.

Anyhow she needs to reach the bottom of the matter about how to use new mana as it was impossible to stop conversion of old mana to new and there was also the news of strange activity of steel lizards near the capital forest which seems to disappeared overnight nearly a month ago and she had recently sent a team to find out about the situation.

While she was thinking about beastmasters arrived after instructing them her conclusion. She ordered them to act on it.

Steadily 10 years passed while in this time frame many incidences happened in the world which included whole world mana changed into new mana but for elves, a most important event was that elven empress announced that she formed a bond with the world tree "Yggdrasil".

But this was not the only change occurred while most of the changes were apparent in front of elves but some changes were hidden, while most of the elves reached their capital city but many didn't, those elves started to evolve in accordance of their environment. Beast also started to form a stone inside their body whose no one knows.

During the same time earth also experienced major changes and those changes were now visible to normal people. At first earth government try to suppress incident but as time passed the number of the portal and the strength of the beast also increased.

At the start when the first portal opened government started to gather all the researchers who were involved in the previous "Gate" experiment and within two days they gathered all the researchers but the moment they saw that portal they immediately told this was out of their area of expertise and demanded to be released but the government officials kept their headstrong attitude for first few months everything was going well while not being any progress in closing the portal, no other beast came to this side portal.

But after a few months things started to change rapidly, researchers suddenly disappeared but that portal was almost closed. Just as the secretly happy government officials were going in front of media to tell that some researchers died in an experiment their smart band started ringing when they finished talking their faces were ghastly pale. As many of such portals opened under the oceans.

This situation continued for the first few months government officials tied to suppress matter till the portals are closed. Those who had originally forgotten about those disappeared researchers finally remembered them but found missing.

Soon nearly two years passed after portals started to open but now government discovered new abnormality other than increasing number of the portal is that when some of the electric devices reach the area near the portal they stop working and with time passing radius of effect increases.

Soon things started to fall of the government hands as now oceans are now filled with many beasts some of those were very unusual one impossible to kill and even new portals are started to appear on the lands which now getting impossible to cover up. Thus finally they started to inform media and earth people of some events definitely not all in hope that they do not get pointed out as the cause of the whole situation.

As soon as news about dangerous beast and portals went public things started to get out of control, there were riots everywhere many people wanted to go to human colonies on other planets.

The government also started to evacuate the peoples of the earth to other planets, as regular space flights took off to other planets but this only continued next five days. But on the fifth day of evacuation when the first flight took off when it neared the atmosphere it blasted, the government still try to continue the next few flights but all of them suffered the same fate. Now even government officials started to get anxious, but soon they got a report which only increased their problem they got information that a thin film-like structure now has surrounded the earth and all the space ships got destroyed by that film.
