FWOOP! A Bright flash of white suddenly exploded, stunning Ralia. It hurt so badly that Ralia felt she had eyes that had gotten blinded already.
‘Painful….’ She cried out, feeling the sting of the light like lashes across her entire body even though she did not really have now as at now. She was just a floating consciousness.
But just as soon as the pain came, it subsided alsot immediately, the white light that was all about dying out its brilliance. And in it, she could feel several things taking shape within it, almost as if objects and items were being built into life in reaction to her presence. .
Startled, she gasped. In the distance just before him, was a huge but yet slender figure. The figure had a cape overall flapping behind him and was backing her. Strangely, she felt some r
Ralia sighed just as the entire scene rolled out like someone was rolling the sheets of a scroll to close them up, entirely. She did not know that she had lost herself into the scene as she saw how the man, Trixius The Great took on the forms of the giant beings and the others who came alongside with them.He was just one person, one person against the world, the ideal form of the rebellion that he had come to believe in.And in all of that, she had been so engrossed that she had failed to hear the words of Liria as she told her that the Ascender Induction would be ending soon enough.Stil bodiless, she grumbled just then to herself about the way the whole scene had been cut short. She did know that Trixus the Great had fallen, otherwise, she would not even have been here in the first place b
There was not a moment of hesitation between the words that Ralia spoke and the reply that proceeded from Liria.‘That is good. It was just about the second part of the Induction for the Ascenders. You are going to learn the actual numbering of the siblings and armed with this knowledge, we hope we can make the best of that which we do.’Liriia said.Ralia nodded her non-existent head. It was pleasing to know that her next course of actions were just about the same thing that Liria had in stock there. Did that mean that she was rapidly getting better at this whole thing?Well, she sighed to herself menatlly, even that had to be a good thing. How could that be anyway wrong? She reasoned to herself. She had only been with Liria a while back and now she woke up, feeling the overload of energy surging into her head. The pain of it had been what had pulled her out and in that instant, in order to relieve herself, she had to scream out, her scream being the attractive force that brought the cold faces looking at her.She heaved now, looking at the front of her. The light began to clear now and as it was clearing, she could make out the form of bars that were erected before her.“Bars?” She whispered.Then it hit her.She could actually feel things and excitement shot through her nerves. She looked down at herself, her eyes widening in excitement even as she felt a twitch of something furry that belonged to her bum.She heaved out, her chest was tightening in panic.The whole of the environment that she found herself in was so much different from before. First, she had been bodiless, existing only asAscenders: Rising From Zero Rebellion: Captivity
Ascenders are creatures with the soul signature of the fallen Mad Prime, the one we all know as Trixius the Great. But aside from that, Ascenders are creatures with a known rate of exponential growth in strength, That is a spirit being of only a few months old may yet have the power of the one who has cultivated for a thousand years.Such a thing is only possible due to the presence of the bond with the soul remnant of Trixus inhabiting the soul of another being. More often than not, a reincarnated soul.Why this has to be the case where the soul remnant needs a reincarnated soul or even why it reincarnates soul , we may not yet be in the clear but at least, we are sure that this is how it operates.This information had taken a lot of time and observation to come together to piece and of course, with the cooperation of the Worlds below who have the presence o f the Soul remnants most pronounced.It was known to the world below, som
Ralia heaved now as she began to think less of what had happened. Only then did she open her eyes to the face that was staring intently into her, almost as if the owner of the face wanted to peer directly into her soul.She had been a Bulkari slave in her past life and so, she was used to being sized up like this. After all, the type of dressing that they were mandated to wear was something that covered very little of their nakedness, much to the sensual desires of their lustful captives. However, seeing the face of this person looking at her like this gave her goosebumps.She felt like he was visually raping her and as a result, she was starled. Immediately, she tried to jerk away, all in a bid to avoid the direct gaze. But just as she tried to do that, a depressing force slammed into her.“
“Aha! Our little bird wants to escape. Preposterous!” The hoarse voice sounded again with a booming laughter accompanying.Ralia gritted her teeth as she heard the heavy steps of the one who was the master ricochet off the ground. The boots he had on must have been really heavy to create such effect because with each step that he took, it felt as if a thousand sledge hammers had been slammed into her temples, all without mercy.She felt cringey, feeling all sorts of pressure piercing into her, almost as if the pressure points want to drill through her body. And on top of that, the depressing force that she felt at her back now doubled in intensity, till her face was literally shoved into the earth, forcing her to eat raw earth.She wanted to spit out but she could only afford to simply
Avan looked at the rag in his hands, numerous thoughts running through his mind. He knew he should not be doing this, heck, he knew what this Ascender was all about. Armed with this knowledge, he knew he should not have to entertain the words that she was saying to him. But then again, he knew that the words she spoke had deep resonance in him.The Irunmole Council, for as much as they seemed like the pretty much good guys and angels and all of that, it was not all so like that.It was not like the bed of roses others must have thought of. The ideal form of Heaven where everyone who walked about had all righteous thoughts in their heads because, why not, they were the direct representatives of the will of the Orisha, the Guardians of the Aspectual Laws.That was the general idea. So, people were naturall
The memory was sharp and hurting in Ralia/s subconscious. It had to be. It was the memory of the one person that had chosen to take her side, only for the disastrous end that came upon him. And to think that she had not been strong enough.To think that an Ascender like her would have to face issues as little as that.When Liria had first identified and illustrated all that was about her, Ralia had the notion that she was just about to become the most powerful of all beings.Maybe not as powerful as that but at least, being that she was an Ascender, she had thought she would be untouchable. Unhindered. Invincible,.Just like Trixius the Great had been then. She had thought that the fact that she had a soul remnant of him would mean that she had discovered a g
