The Crawford's Multiverse of Madness

Chapter 139 - Reunited

Everyone gathered their essentials after waking up the next morning.

The tour took about two hours, Hank introduced everything about the Iwi people, their culture, religion, behaviors but the most intriguing part turned out to be their history.

Elizabeth was busy scanning the environment to find out how much percentage of the environment had Alice's energy mutated. Turns out it was a significant part.

Suddenly, Elizabeth felt dizzy and stumbled a bit.

Mason quickly walked to her side and said "Careful, you're probably exhausted from earlier,"

Elizabeth quickly jumped back from Mason's arm, and steadied herself "I am fine,"

Elizabeth felt as if her body was about to crack under the constant strain of her own internal energies. Luckily, Mason was the only one to notice her blunder.

"Long ago Kings ruled the Earth. The Iwi's said that there were twelve of them but that number later became ten for some reason. The beasts of legends we hear about today were kings of the Earth in the past.

One day a crimson star descended over the planet, stunting the growth of all life, and draining the energy of the Kings and other ancient beasts. The Gigantapes were the only ones not affected by this crimson star.

Years passed, and many beats went into long slumbers...

The Gigantapes met humankind and grew fond of the hairless apes. So they betrayed the other kings and did not wake them up – the king of The Gigantapes felt like their time had long since passed and nature should take its course.

So he severed his bloodline and gave birth to the Kongs... the next king of the island became King Kong.

Then great lizard-like creatures rose up from the ground – they had grown by leaching off the energy of the Ancient Beasts.

They killed the Kong Clan until only one remained, just as he was on the verge of death... The Iwi's say a god descended from cracks in the heavens above, there were three gods.

One flew towards the world of man, one fell next to a dying King Kong and made him stronger than ever before, unlocking the once severed bloodline within.

The last one fell to the depths of the Earth, they call that one 'The Forbidden' since he fell where The Ancient Beasts slept.

Using the newfound power, Kong protected the humans and lived solitary as the last of his kind.

Kong spent his time as Guardian to the Tomb of the God who fell from the heavens, he also sometimes allows the Iwi to enter the tomb and meditate.

When they come back, their bodies are stronger, they become faster and smarter.

They are forbidden to speak of what they see inside, but I've been told that the god is trapped inside a crystal coffin, deep asleep," Hank wanted to continue telling them about the history of the Iwi people but Elizabeth paused him.

"Tell them to take us there," She ordered.

"I don't think they'll..." Before Hank could finish his statement, Elizabeth had already approached the leader of the Iwis "Take me there!"

There was a sharp silver glint in her eyes, but it soon disappeared as Elizabeth clutched her stomach and began a fit of coughing.

The Iwi looked at Elizabeth for a while, before shaking his head as if to say no.

Elizabeth felt disrespected and incensed but kept her cool so as to not have her power run amok near innocents.

"Your people have benefitted enough, do not get greedy. Being Greedy caused the downfall of many tribes!" Elizabeth said as her voice grew infinitely deeper near the end of her statement, she let some of her power leak to demonstrate her similarity with the energy of the cave.
