Destruction

Ren was also shocked as she looked at the falling rocks. The next words out her mouth left Zekith speechless. "Tsk, So weak. A level two Exalted Earth Majin very low level." Disdain once again showing on her face and in her eyes. Zekith however, couldn't believe what he was hearing. How could this level of power be considered low level? That was simply impossible. He was witnessing that said low level and to him it was beyond impressive and soul shaking. Now he was truly wondering what level of power Ren actually was.

"TAKE COVER! Those meteors are going to destroy the village!" Aunt Pol yelled over snapping him out of his daze.

Immediately he ducked his head and ran back into the Fortunes Affinity room. Aunt Pol also returned to her study. She ran to back to her desk to grab an important artifact from the top desk drawer. When she got there the drawer containing the item was yanked out revealing a small white pearl. Picking up the pearl she quickly formulated her thoughts. This pearl was a conduit of sorts. When held by a member of the Ra clan. It can became a catalyst that connects all of the people of Ra Village together. A wave of energy was being generated and she was it's center and core. The build up was quick as three circles of energy surrounded her body. One at the face, at the waist and at the ankles. Pushing the energy down into the earth she could communicate with anyone within 150 kilometers. That distance easily covered Ra Village. "Everyone quickly RUN!" Aunt Pol said this directly the people's minds. Reacting with practiced precision as if this was a regular occurrence. Every took shelter or ran away within seconds. However, looking at the fireworks that were about to rain down from above. An imminent danger in the form of flaming meteors. There was no time to prepare for this. Shelters didn't really amount to much at this point.

A symphony of fiery boulders rained down in quick succession. Row after row after row of massive boulders in an endless waltz fell from the heavens. The earth quaked and quivered as boulders plunged from the heavens. Overwhelming everything within their path. That included the utterly shocked Scarlett and Black Cross. Both of whom had greatly underestimated the ruthlessness and lack of humanity Emerald was displaying. They never suspected that he would easily sacrifice this village for his own selfish gain. The two Exalted level used their own trump cards. Raising the perspective powers to the max. Going all out to counter attack. Black Cross Exalted level attack was a black sphere. It didn't have gravity but nothing could pass through it. Lifting his hand above his head. He fired off his attack. It move to about 50 meters above his head before making contact with a meteor. Boom! The explosion was tremendous. Boom! Boom! Black Cross looked hopeful as everything began to settle. However, his hope was killed quickly as another set of meteors broke through the debris caused be the earlier explosion. Scarlett wasting not even a moment as she released her Exalted level technique. A flaming tornado formed above her head. Throwing her hand forward. The tornado broke into hundreds of smaller versions of itself and attacked the meteor barrage. Boom! Boom! Boom! The meteors where destroyed on after another. It seemed like this did the trick. Scarlett was about to turn back to Emerald when Yet, another set of meteors broke through the debris cloud once again. Scarlett and Black Cross looked at one another. Expecting either to pull out one last trump card. However, they both already used there one and only trump cards. They were now out of option. Despair was the only readable emotion on either of their face as meteors began to rain down upon them. They both died with regret in there hearts.

The meteorites continued to fall. The sky was a mix of colors switching between a bright white, blood red and amber gold under a black velvet backdrop. It was an oddly beautiful sight. The feeling you got from this beauty was a cross between wonder and dread. It felt like you were entering into an endless purgatory of fire and destruction. The destruction of Ra Village was nothing more than an afterthought to this Exalted named Emerald. His was breathing in short fast breaths after pulling off that attack. It seemed as though he had to pay a certain price for using that power. He was already an elderly man. Now it appeared that he had even more withered an loose hanging skin. It almost looked like the Bishop was nothing more than skin and bones. The skin looked like it was melting off his body. Immediately he consumed a dark green pill to reverse the effects of using this energy. "I can't believe I had to use a resurrection pill. I was only given three. Now I only have two left. This Eternal Night Ascension you shall pay for this." Emerald eyes burned with rage. He took a long while to recover. Only admiring his work once he regained a little of his strength. Taking note of the ruined village and the impressively deep canyon left behind from his spell. This new canyon stretched out for a few miles in either direction from the impact site. There was no sign of either Scarlett or Black Cross. The sky was pitch black with darkness. When wind lightly whistled as a breeze rustled his white hair. "Humph! Serves them right for trying to take what's mine." Emerald turned in mid air and slowly flew off into the distance. Leaving the area with a fresh and deep canyon and a ruined village that was unrecognizable. A young pair of eyes were locked on the figure that was flying away. Killing intent radiated from his little eyes as he crawled out from the now decimated Fortunes Affinity room.

"Do you want revenge?"

"Of course I do! Who wouldn't?" His eyes burned with intense fire.

"You would only die it you tried right now." Ren's voice was indifferent.

"Don't you think that I already know this." Clinching his hands until they became pale it looked like he was about to brake skin.

"Then what are you going to do?" Ren asked

"What can I do?" Zekith pleaded.

"Let's use him as your first goal."

"Goal? What do you mean by goal?"

"Really boy! Do I have to Really spell this out for you?"

"..."

"You want to take revenge right?"

"Yes, of course I do"

"Then listen to me as I explain something to you. The first thing you should understand is that the more power one has the longer their lifespan will be. So someone with even a basic level of Exalted power will live for a very long time. What that means is unless some unusual circumstance happens. One at that level of power would have no problem living for a couple of thousand years... Now do you understand?"

Zekith took a moment to think before responding. "By setting that Exalted as my goal. I can train gaining Majin power as well as Life energy. Over time when I'm powerful enough I can challenge him openly. Since Exalteds have long lifespans. He should still be around by the time I reach that level of power." His eyes flashed red and gold.

"Good. I'm glad you understand. We now have a firm goal. But, right now you need to go check the rest of the village. You need to see if anyone else is still alive."
