588 My Life's Dream Is Yours
The Phoenix chipped weakly as she slowly regained her confidence, Shame filled her heart, but she only consoled herself with the thought that she did not feel any sort of adoration for that figure, it was just her body that had betrayed her.
She cried out in annoyance and irritation as she began beating her glowing wings faster, speeding up and slowly approaching the speed of light.
"Head towards the Great Battlefield Skylar, I shall hone my powers in battle, and when I walk in the glorious city of Aroth and enter the Palace of the gods, I shall come not as a son of Trion, but as its Emperor."
The Phoenix cried out in exultation and beat her wings faster, she was a Minor god and she willingly worshiped the figure she carried.
Fury Akranothotez Kuranes.
The most powerful Dominator in every single cycle, at least according to the popular sentiments.
There was a time when he believed that sentiment—That he was the most powerful, but he had learned his lessons quickly enough when he saw a higher mountain in the shape of Rowan Kuranes and knew of freaks of nature like Telmus, but now everything was different.
He had crushed his pride in the crucible of suffering and what arose from the ashes was something transformed and deadly, he not only held great power but also knowledge, and he was ready to challenge every opposition to his rise, for in three short years, Fury did not just become a Minor god he was now a Major god.
This unprecedented change occurred due to a secret he had found in that Inheritance Ground. Fury had battled against a million contenders for this power and had emerged victorious, and he took not only the lives of his opponents but their wisdom and power as well.
Fury was a Summoner and the million opponents he had faced all had the strength of gods. Everything they had, was now his own!
In addition to his powers as a Child of Trion that made Fury a hundred or even a thousand times more powerful than an average Major god, but Fury was not planning to stop at this level.
He was going into Trion, and he was taking all that power from himself, even if he was going to challenge the Primogenitor herself for it.
"Father, is that who I think it was?"
"Yes child," Telmus replied, "That is Fury Kuranes, what do you think about him?"
The white-haired girl paused in thought for a second before she replied, "He is interesting, his abilities appear to be extremely broad but still incredibly focused."
Telmus frowned a bit, "Yes, this child is now different. Okay, this shall be your first test. You shall not just defeat him, you shall kill him, only then would you be permitted to name yourself."
The easygoing nature of the girl suddenly transformed into something else, and the white of her eyes disappeared only to be replaced by a black and white orb that seemed to be filled with countless spider webs.
"It shall be done Father, before this day is done, I shall claim my name."
Another fast smack landed on her head that shook her away from this state and made her groan in pain,
"You are still an Earth god while he is already a Major God, normally that would not matter to someone of my blood, but this child is special, you will need to do more… become more, if you want any chance to win."
The breathing of the girl caught in her throat as she began to pant, her eyes were shining like stars,
"Are you finally going to be teaching it to me Father, your life's dream?"
Telmus stood still for a long time in silence and if she did not understand the massive weight in the mind of this man she might have become angry, but she knew, her great father was in… pain.
It was when they appeared over the glorious world of Trion that Telmus sighed and he looked at the stars,
"Do you notice that the stars in the skies are now different?"
The white-haired girl nodded, "Some of them had gone out and for some of them that remained, their colors are… different."
Telmus sighed, "I understand that you do not know the reason I just said these words, after all, a thousand stars die every day, and nothing of these are special. That is what everyone else would think, but not me. I know as surely as the Aether that flows in my veins, that those stars are important, and you should be ready for a great trial ahead, for Fury is just the beginning."
Telmus brought up his right hand, and two lines appeared on his palm, both of the lines were flickering wildly as they attempted to merge and they continuously failed.
"After nine thousand years, I finally have to admit that I have failed, I cannot complete this task. I have… failed…."
The white-haired girl was suddenly struck with a profound sorrow and she knelt, her forehead touching the tips of her father's toes.
"You still have time Father, if nine thousand years would not be enough, then in another nine thousand, I know you shall succeed."
Telmus smiled at his daughter and brought her back to her feet with a wave of his hand, she could not control her body's movement.
"Perhaps I shall succeed, but I have no more time, others might not know this, but I do. So I charge you, child, watch my every move from now on, as I breathe so also shall you breathe, as I walk, so also shall you walk. You shall witness my glory, for it walks hand in hand with my doom, and my legacy you shall carry, and you will complete it. When you do child, you shall be invincible."
The white-haired girl wept a single tear before she nodded.
She proceeded to stand behind her father and she watched him.
"No don't stand behind me, from now on you shall stand beside me."
She paused and after a while, took the next steps that brought her beside her father, and she stood with him.
The flames of reentry as they entered Trion covered the entire Bone Dragon but a shield created by the beast stopped it from reaching them.
The white-haired girl suddenly smiled and brought out a green bottle and she handed it to her father.
Telmus was curious and he opened it and sniffed it before a bright smile broke out on his face.
"Shut up Father. Did you forget you ordered me to gather the finest brew in the universe for you?"
"I did, didn't I? Great, I knew I did not forget, hahaha…"
