135 - Birth of the Commandments 2 - (Sun God's Flame)

Pyrkam halted his breath when he felt the world tree should have been truly nullified. Yet once the divine breath cleared his eyes narrowed.

"Taumune. What is this?" his voice boomed as he glared with anger at the Universal tree whose form shielded the world tree from his fire.

Yet the glowing ethereal apparition made no sounds. The girlie form it had taken kept a stoic but cold face totally unlike her.

Incensed Pyrkam made yet another charge which Taumune didn't fail to note yet she narrowed her eyes as her mind raced. Her ethereal form could only take so much damage.

The great light of compressed purplish and red flames shot out of the mouth of the dragon aimed straight at her yet more to the side.

'He's still aiming for Nuknuk.' Her mind chilled and her thoughts went blank.

A split in reality appeared and then instantly widened into a large maw-like tear that the beam tore into.

Pyrkam huffed out smoke as he glared before him expecting to see something favorable. Yet before his eyes could understand his body shivered.

A string of runes appeared in his vision as well as the voice which for some reason sounded quite cold this time. Yet he barely paid its tone and attention as he was focused on the information content.

°•Your Realm has been attacked°•

°• 2% damage dealt. °•

Then he understood and his eye shot up landing on Taumune who had an aggrieved look on her face. Pyrkam's eyes narrowed into slits, his rage bursting past its limit his roar causing cracks in the environment.

VULKANS REALM

Velces watched as the thing suddenly grew. Its shimmering hazy construct of a body suddenly gained golden and red flames. It increased till it was as large as a ball in his palm.

Then he saw it appear. A little misty smoke that was purple and got lapped up greedily by the flame-like oxygen. The flames jumped up flaring immensely before disappearing into the air the misty purple gas vanishing as well.

Velces froze his eyes wide his heart beating wide as he stared at where the fire had once been. Finally, he acted. Divine sense like a spill of the sea spread out in all directions.

Most swept past the closest of the cosmo, Fewer through the various realms of his siblings who all shouted profanities at his intrusion. Yet the Sun god cared not one bit. His divine sense even spread into his mother's realm. Fortunately, she was down in Merrenok conversing with the Burdened Lions.

Finally, his sense appeared in the God realm.

Slowing it down he searched quickly but hesitantly not wanting to provoke his father. His divine sense washed over the entire God realm till it came upon the palace itself.

Yet before it entered, a whisper, one word had him shitting off his senses. His body lagged as his consciousness dissipated from his true body.

'Merrenok'.

GOD REALM

In the little room with the screens, the huge four-eyed being conversed with himself.

"This is bad."

[You know it was possible]

"Yes. I hoped it would be different though"

[You cannot choose sides. ]

"Neither will I let them kill each other"

There was a bit of silence in the little room before the male sighed and shrugged.

"Tampering with their fate and decisions while much better would only be putting them on a leash. The need to learn and experience." Erizos muttered.

[This doesn't sound like you, like us]

There was no reply just silence and a pair of gold and blue irises staring at a scene with a two-headed dragon. The eyes watched as the dragon lashed out at the ethereal projection of the girl with its massive paws.

His gaze narrowed once he spotted the projection fade away only for space to bend and meld into a physical form of a giantess covered with leaves, hair of flowers, and a cloak of vines.

Her fist shot out tearing through the air with a shrill and clashing with the dragon's paw. A shockwave scattered and the winds knocked both back a bit.

Then he saw it. Like a little mote of light, it descended onto Pyrkam.

"You once said not everything will be intended," Erizos spoke once before halting not looking away from the screen as the scene showed a purple haze of steam flowing into the light.

He watched as the light burned brighter and grew in size and volume before he sighed and continued.

"I agree now."

MERRENOK

Taumune watched wide-eyed as the flame consumed all of Pyrkam's rage. Its size grew with each drop of the Dragon god's anger that it devoured its ferocity increasing as it absorbed his fury.

By the time Pyrkam was calm the flame was half their size.

All froze unsure of what this was. The dragon and the Deific tree could feel an imposing aura from the flame. While it didn't affect their minds their bodies were a different story.

The flame burned bright in the air the heat creating waves that were already beginning to char the earth below it even while hovering several feet off the ground.

Yet suddenly the flame shivered and like a little mouse tried to dart away. But it wasn't fast enough. A flare of bright light encompassed it before it could move any further. A heat surpassing its own suppressing it.

"What are you?" the deep voice of a man in red and gold robes sounded. His eyes like pools of magma locked on the flame in his grasp. His hair was a fiery red and his lips were stuck in a firm line.

Yet before Velces could react the flame quivered and then shot out of his grasp. The huge tongue of fire hung above him as a divine rule weaved around it.

Within the fire a golden orb sucked in the latent heat of the flame, its size reduced till it was nothing more than the size of a man's head. Only then did the orb glow with one Rulerune.

The twisted letters and the strange words were enough to have Velces sighing in relief. But, not so much for the flame. It twisted and shook and if fire could make any screams then it would have done so.

Yet its resistance was futile.
