NOVPUB"< Unholy Eclipse Ritual: Anomalous Ascension >" (me)
One thing I learned about magic, as well as any other form of expressing power with energy or Aura, two things are very important.
The first is the image of what you would like to accomplish, the more detailed and precise it is, the better the result will be. Today I understand that this is a way of implementing the Will to follow predetermined instructions.
The second is a name, it cannot be just any name, it must be something that expresses the effect of what you want to accomplish, something that coincides with the image that has formed in your mind. This name will serve as a trigger for this image as well as a connection between the image and the energy being used.
Magic focuses on the form of the image.
The Spiritual Rune focuses on the meaning of the image in philosophical form.
Ki focuses on the depth of the image, the mental and emotional state represented.
In this ritual I am using all natural concepts to express nature, I am transforming Faith into Sacred Power which in turn condenses with my Divinity becoming Divine Power, this constant flow of Divine power pulsates through the blood lines as if traveling through veins, pulsating in a specific rhythm.
All the magic circles light up, the Runes then with the pulsation in the blood lines marking a very specific activation rhythm.
All the materials are gradually surrounded by images of Starfire Dragons, being refined by their flames in a state of transformation.
With all this ready, tornadoes of Divine Power form in dozens around the ritual caused by the great flow of power being absorbed.
"(If I wasn’t in here, this power would have to come from me.)" (me)
A frightening thought of me turning into a mummy from being sucked dry came to mind in an intrusive thought before I shook my head, forcing myself into a state of absolute concentration once more.
I began to delegate the functions of the Ritual to my Saints, each of them perfectly assuming their roles, the knowledge of what to do was transmitted directly to their minds, making the process easy, especially for Samara who had vast experience.
With that resolved, I closed my eyes, when I opened them again, I was alone with Tarzor, I was still in my Dragon form while he was also in a White Serpent form, but this time it was much clearer that his Scales were mere fragments with glows that almost reflected completely different things.
We were still among the stars, on the horizon in one direction there was a Purple Sun, on the horizon in the opposite direction there was a Fragmented Moon and high in the Sky there was the Eclipse that marks my identity.
We were standing in a calm boundless ocean that reflected the boundless stars above cleanly, with the only ripples being those caused around us, our sizes were also close to each other showing how this was just a mental or perhaps Spiritual space.
In my hands were two items that seemed to resonate with each other, the Universal Seed and the book of the law in the form of a necklace.
I had already expected something like this, in fact this was the first time I entered this state of my own free will, I was literally incarnated in my Will and felt all the processes of the Ritual taking place.
"I cannot guarantee the results, only that there is a chance." (me)
"That is already your arrogance speaking, even the Gods do not dare to claim that they have a chance to create a Universe." (Tarzor)
"If it is created from nothing, I would also not affirm anything and I believe you understand the path I chose to follow in this ritual." (me)
"I have spent millions of years thinking about this boy, I am older than several Gods of this universe." (Tarzor)
"I already knew that there was only one way, to merge all the universal fragments into one universe, only that would do, but it is not something that can be achieved easily and you understand why I chose the power of chaos." (Tarzor)
"Yes, after some thought about the process, it became clear." (me)
The powers of this universe are divided into two, creation and destruction.
The Gods represent the power of creation while the Demon Gods represent the power of Destruction, a balance between the two extremes.
I can only assume that it is something similar in other Universes, but it seems possible.
All forms of energy and power can branch off from these two extremes, with only Chaos being the variant.
"You could have gotten it in other ways, Callidora would have helped in exchange for something and there must be other Anomalous creatures that could do something." (me)
"There are some types of Anomalous creatures that could help, but some tried to devour me, others tried to refine me into a weapon and others tried to enslave me." (Tarzor)
"My eagerness to become complete is not irrational to the point of losing myself completely, Hell would possibly be the worst of all places." (Tarzor)
"From the beginning I understood that the Anomalous Power would have limited chances of achieving what I desire, as a branched source of power there are limitations in its use, only its source which is chaos would be suitable." (Tarzor)
"It cannot be just me who controls chaos, there must be more options for you." (me)
"There are no better options." (Tarzor)
"..." (me)
"(It wasn’t a denial that there are others who control chaos or at least there were others.)" (me)
While I argued with Tarzor, I wasn’t idle, I was waiting for all the materials to be refined and the entire Ritual to be fully activated.
I was also adjusting the resonance between the 2 items in my hands, the Seed was filled with the Power of Chaos while the book was filled with the Anomalous power, both marked by my power, but the more the resonance increased, the greater the feeling of something else extending through the Seed.
It wasn’t trying to hide itself, in fact it was beckoning its presence to me, it was something I had only felt once, that was when I met Freya in my dream within the Star Path.
It seems that this Seed having formed has to do with the eldest sister of the World Trees that I hear Silvia tell, she must have been waiting for this and with that thought called Freya or that was as far as I could think.
"There is no turning back once I give this to you." (me)
"I’m not afraid boy, the Anomalous power alone can be dangerous, but Chaos only transforms, it doesn’t create or destroy." (Tarzor)
"Whatever state I wake up in, I will be whole, that was what I sought and that’s why I accepted any risk." (Tarzor)
"Very well..." (me)
I continue to feel the entire ritual as it is completely activated, all the items were refined and now the Ritual was pulsing as if it were a heart.
Opening one of my body’s eyes, I see the massive amount of Divine Power causing even the Star Path to tremble, the Silhouettes of Wills that previously walked along the star path are all turned towards us as if they could feel this tremor and wanted to see such a spectacle.
My Divinity pulses within me as if it wanted to take over everything and take the lead in the Ritual, but I keep it under control. That would be the worst outcome. I am not creating or reborn any Divinity. I am trying to ascend an Anomalous Creature.
With the Ritual reaching its peak and seeing my 3 Saints managing to maintain control of the ritual, I close my body’s eyes and return to Focusing only on my Will, where I was alone facing Tarzor.
I concentrate on the two items in my hands in resonance and join the two. Little by little, the book breaks, releasing Runes that seem to contain some meaning. Then, these Runes attach themselves to the body of the Dragon that was previously wrapped around the book. Its ethereal wings open, revealing endless Runes flowing as it flies to the Center of the Universal Seed.
The Star Palace, the Dragon of Law, and the Tree Silhouette disappear until the Seed seems to solidify into a true crystal that shrinks to the size of one of my claws, an energy of Pure Chaos emanating from it while something seems to flow from elsewhere into the Seed as if knowing life for it.
"I grant you what I have always wanted, but you must be the one to accept it." (me)
"..." (Tarzor)
The truth is that I wanted to send this Seed to Tarzor, but I couldn’t, it seemed like there was something holding me back and that was when I realized what it was, the Star Path, in this place I cannot grant power as I please, I can only present an opportunity while those who seek something must stand up for themselves.
Tarzor just looked at me for a second before looking around as if understanding the meaning behind my words, his snake face strangely opens a slight smile as if it were funny to have to prove his Will.
His whole body moves, coming closer to me, his body stretches with each movement, carrying enormous weight, his eyes shining as if they were exploding Galaxies, he opens his jaw and eats the seed directly from my hands, that’s when I felt the restrictions on my movements disappear and he returns to his position this time with great difficulty while a strange energy emanates from his body.
"My will is not something that can be denied!" (Tarzor)
"< Ascension >" (me)
This time I go to him, it wasn’t something I planned, it was something I felt was right, an instinct of recognition of the strong Will of the one in front of me, my claw touches his forehead leaving a single sliver of Star Fire that sinks into his body.
The next thing I see is a completely different scenario, Tarzor’s body expands as if it had exploded, then an incredible number of fragments floating around me.
The Starfire I planted becomes a flaming line that my Will controls, connecting all the fragments while rearranging them by the hundreds every second.
"I will go to the end as a sign of my respect for your willpower." (me)
