81 - Spreading out, New Missions.
What came next was a scolding that the entire little group were both pleased to watch and embarrassed by too.
Even Velces with all his brimming fire and heat simmered down the moment he heard his mother's voice and the thunder in her voice
It was the dummy part to watch how a god did a 360 from hot and destructive to meek as a kitten and making puppy eyes that did not match his huge muscular figure.
Even Dumdriel found it hard keeping his nonchalant and unmoved stance as tbe rest laughed.
Yet the scolding worked to fox whatever strain was on their cooperation. That added with a heartfelt apology and explanation from Velces. After no one was suicidal to stay close to an anger induced god who would burn everything due to his temperament without watching out for his people.
Alas their hearts were soften a d endeared once they heard he did it after losing it due to watching first a Kershini almost dying and then yet again a Kyratk and more of the Heralds v
getting almost swallowed.
Saying that they weren't touched by his concern for them would have been a heavenly lie to big for even Erizos to handle.
Finally after everything was settled they entire party headed on to the site of the blast.
There was no need for any descriptions of what they scene looked like as there was nothing to describe. Purge lived up to its name as it had purged every last one of those things out of existence.
"At least we now have a sure one shot kill member. " Beleza calmly acknowledged.
Heads we're seen bobbing up and down.
"Alright. Let's continue from here. I'll set this up from here and leave you all. Dumdriel and Velces you both are still inc charge." She muttered then signalled for all of them to follow.
The group flew on as one till they arrived as one right at a spot where Gerasmine halted. The rest watched her pull out a bead from a a gauntlet on her arm. It was only now that most had the though t to appraise the goddess.
Green vines and earth weaved and melded as one with various bits of unknown metal formed a cuirass of pure green and black. Black shoulder pads, a long green dress beneath the armor that draped down to her ankles.
Strapped to her waist was the short sword made by Velces and floating beside her was the Na Bagin.
Fully getting a glimpse of her attire each one of them began copying it. Well just the Kershini females as the weaved their wings and some parts of their silvery into the same concept as Gerasmine's armor dress.
The males simply copied the armor while the used the idea of Erizos pants as their lower attire concept.
Soon the Kyrstks we're left just glaring at the Kershinis who were now girded weirdly in attire made out of their own 'skins'.
(Author's note: I still can't wrap my head around that part either. Erizos what did you make? Smh)
The Azkolves though ignored the rest as each had eyes on the golden orb in Gerasmine's hand. It gleamed and shines periodically as the stared at it.
Yet they weren't as surprised as the Herlads when a wall of golden and white light swept past them.
"It's done." her eyes went to them and almost immediately each of them got a prompt.

Every last dick,tom and harry stared at their new mission prompt. The only ones who didn't get a mission prompt were the Azkolves who looked around at the others confused to what they got.
"If you are seeing your system mission then it's clear enough. You can choose to go alone or in pairs. Either way you have to head in separate directions. I advise teaming up at least two or three in a group.".
" Rwèr Zéíi(1) (Great Goddess). If I may." A Kyratk questioned. Receiving an affirmation he asked.
"What exactly are conscription tokens?"
His question seemed to be the same one the others had as heads began bobbing in agreement with the question. Gerasmine smiled before replying.
"I'm not sure either. But I have an idea. And if I'm right. " she paused to let the suspense build. "Trust me you don't want to miss out on getting at least one".
" Rwèr Zéíi. You said 'atleast'. Does that mean we can get more of this conscription tokens."
"Indeed. You see repeatable in your prompts right?"the all nodded to her.
" Well than that will be all. Oh and... more important." She revealed another orb. This one was black with a twin orb of white by it's side. Each glued to the other but still not touchimg.
"This are chaos fragments and order cores. Your journeys will bring you to various areas. Find these and bring them back. The All-father has good use for them."
Without a pause she turned to the Azkolves who had been silently watching wondering why they were removed from this quest.
"You lot don't need to accomplish this assignment. Your tasks are different."
At the end of her statement a prompt appeared in their visions.

"Well. I think the All-fsther is done delaying his plans." Syrin mumbled on seeing the mission.
"Indeed."Beleza mused his eyes burning as he started at tbe conscription merit. Unlike the Herlads the Azkolves who had once been alive before all these knew exactly what it was.
Or at least they had an idea. A smirk could be seen on Tepes face while Tarin huffed. Dumdriel just stared silently as usually while Ausal twirled her hair completely uncaring. July though was already laughing hysterically as thoughts flew through his head.
" I'll be a mini King. " he silently rejoiced. A smack to his head brought him back to see Geral sneerimg at him.
"Leromta. What was that for?". He whined with a puppy face. Due to his wildlife features it was really sympathetic too. Gerald though just scoffed before he looked to the others. Apart from Dumdriel who as always didn't give a fuck, Syrin who just smiled and Ausal who was as free as her elements.
The light of ambition could be seem stirring in the eyes of the rest. Even his. There was no doubting it everyone wanted to get a good deal from all this. The Azkolves with their good senses could literally sniff the perks in this mission.
Gerasmine watching all this smiled with a shake of her head.
'Erizos. You really did it now. I wonder how long it'll take for those anti-life to last before he takes back everything. "
Looking to the far off distance that was as black as a sheet if black paper thrown over a wall she sighed.
"This will be a bloody era". her palms tightened into fists before she glanced to Velces who was still standing by her a concerned look on his face.
" Oh not to worry. You weren't forgotten. Your job. Is the harshest of all".For a mother who loved her son a creepy smile lit up her face that made everyone wonder how bad tbe godling's task could be. And just as expected a prompt appeared in his vision.
A scream ripped through the void as a godling went mad.
*******
Somewhere in Mitawas an All-father felt a chill down his spine.
"Who's targeting me?" he asked out loud looking around. Seeing nothing he shrugged and went back to work. He had a lot to do and a lot of rewards to give.
Things were getting started on the right track he could just feel it.
