Anthem of Shadowlights

Training

The five pairs have successfully landed on their region. Extronomy on the other hand was left inside the temple to mind her own responsibility; is to eradicate some Noctis.
GARDEN OF EDEN
They have arrived in the Garden where Desonomy lives and breed plants. The garden was really big enough to be occupied by all species of plant ever discovered and undiscovered by others. The tree of life is placed in the middle of the entrance in his home. He has expensive looking interior design and showing life symbols on the walls and murals. In this Garden, it is full
of houses there, there are nymphs, dwarves and humans. In every region, pets and guards are always present to protect the people against the dark arts.
Desonomy:"Don't be afraid of my dyrads, just don't have an eye contact with them, they don't like that."
"Dyrads are a nymph who look like a fairt and take the form of a beautiful woman. They are the second-ranking defender in this main land. They have the power to grow plants and call out energy even if it's dead."
Britney:"They are quite interesting, but can I eat some fruits, I'm hungry."
Britney gestured into picking fruits in the Tree of Life but it is forbidden since the tree has it's own judgment. Kodamas live in here another tree spirit which used to threaten whoever tries to pick from it.
Desonomy:"Get out of it, Britney."
The Kodama sprint out to drive away Britney.
Britney screams as it bothers like bees in her head but Desonomy release woods to pull the Kodama away from Britney.
Desonomy:"Just follow me and I'll show you the powers you received with me so that you can protect yourself and this world as well."
Desonomy offer her some foods to fill her empty stomach. They gone to empty field whereas he can teach some to avoid casualties.
Desonomy:"This is the Thorn Stone; it has the power to give life on plants. I can also talk to them telepathically. This was the monster's main source of energy. Your power as well came from here, it does limits some of the abilities you acquire than mine but it will be completely yours if you managed to control it."
Desonomy show off some of his incredible stunts on manipulating the nature in his area. Of course, he brings seedlings to prepare to a rural area. He always brings every type of it for aerial, water and even concrete or sand. He shows some basic on how to travel within the nature. In an instant, he became one with the roses and appear behind Britney exiting from the oak tree. Britney has easily catch up and did it too. They managed to make it fast and it last for one hour for Britney to out speed him. The next technique was the vine grasp and imprison. Desonomy uplift his fingers and the vines instantly grow upward clenching her limbs making her knees down. He is really making this girl hurt a little bit. Three days after of their training, Britney are now showing improvements and incredible combo attacks. Britney acquired half of the power of the stone. Britney reads some of his works in the library when it's free time and she found out how many discoveries and inventions Desonomy has ever created in weaponry. Britney also learned how to talk with plants and be friends with the dyrads. Before their take off, Desonomy gave him the apple from tree of life. Britney received agility from it. Almost one week is used up and Desonomy is already impressed by Britney, not to mention she has a good voice garnering creature like Cinderella.
Britney:"You know I love your animals here; they are so cute. I envy that they don't exist in our world."
Desonomy:"Humans in your world have extincted them and banished to their habitat for your own needs."
Britney:"I'm very sorry to hear that little creatures, your life's better in this Garden of Life."
A minute before they leave, Shadow Omen has attacked the Garden. Some of the leaves tarnished and die as they walk towards the Garden. They have the very much alike appearance of the Dementors from Harry Potter but they have physical body, fangs and clothed with dark robe. Desonomy is very surprised since he knew that the Noctis know that they are staying on temple. The Noctis doesn't have any interest on harming other beings but to get the stones from the holders. Britney started to summon hybrid-type of plants; Koeia to poison them. There are about fifty estimated but Britney insisted that she will finish them all together. Britney creates whiplash from grown vines of thorns, he sprints to slash them in circular. They have dodge it but the show flame when the spikes of the vine started to aim at them. Britney:"Thornado Strike! Y'all too tough buddy."
She crosses her arms and run towards them as she neutralizes and paste bomb plant to their heads. The last three dark omen scythed her as she landed but her quick reflexes summon leaf shield to grasp those scythes and throw it with them in the air since they are holding too tight. Desonomy is so proud and he said that it's only half percentage of the power and she slay them all at once.
PYRAMIDS OF KHUFU
After the arrival of Khufu and Aeston, warrior orchestral welcomed their entrance and Aeston can really feel the pride of the Pyramids. This is the start of their training but Aeston can't help but to notice the titan creature guarding the pyramids.
Aeston:"Are they harmless? it's a dragon cat master isn't it?"
Khufu:"It's Cleo the Sphinx, she is my guard here and I've placed some of riddles that doesn't have answers. I have modified her to defend us against black smoke and our old colonizers; Desonomy. We used to be a rival against wisdom. He used to answer all the riddles of Cleo in exchange of my gems to put into his filthy plants."
Aeston:"So he did the right thing and you have deal right?
Khufu:"Yes but he stole more than that to power his inventions, as you know our gems are main source of the energy here. We own craftsmen produce the finest swords among all regions. But it isn't just an ordinary sword, it releases shockwaves as you slash."
Aeston:"I don't need that much information but we'll strive hard as rock haiya!"
Khufu: “Confidence. I like that. Let me see your endurance once I started to dustified your bones like rocks."
Aeston was terrified and chuckling a bit but he's much very aware that his training won't go easy as much he like. Aeston ask many questions since there is a Pyramid similar to him existing on Earth. Khufu said that it is just the clone of his real home. The one left on Earth was transcripted because of the sands. Sands are known to fossilized everything perfectly, that's the reason for leaving similar structures and statues. Aeston is still not convinced on the infos he gathered so he asks more until they reach the bottom of the Pyramid to prepare for their training.
Khufu: “This is the Obelisk Stone, the harder the holder the stronger stones you can create and more damage you can take."
Khufu showed him the shining obelisk stone holding it with his artifical hand made of sand. He keeps his stone inside of his hand. He mixed sand on his hand to hide it and hold it at the same time.
Earth bending is the specialty of Khufu and he showed intensity of trembling as main offense against ranger heroes. He taught Aeston concentrated tremor, this serves to minimize the area of effect. Aeston is having a hard time and the tremors are keep backfiring to himself. Khufu made Aeston pull blocks of limestones using his brute force and order him to build mini pyramid using his balance power. Khufu is a great teacher, he shouts at Aeston because he believes that loud is power. Aeston then starts shouting deep breath on bending rocks and stones. He managed to do it but he was drained that day. The next day they have decided to learn some defensive block techniques. Khufu gesture circular motion in his left hands and the stones reform to his front and equip it as an armor. He can do a lot more like sand-tracing, he can also draw your face on sand, his three sand masters can also do this to easily arrest criminals and intruders. Aeston keeps on hurting himself whenever he tries to equip the stone but he could deflect mini-attacks of Khufu with the stone animation. After a week of training, they have their last battle.
Khufu: “Kid, show the power of Obelisk stone, we share the same pride and softness doesn't run in our blood."
Aeston starts doing the techniques and has already master the movements on summoning his spirit animal, the dragon stone.
Aeston:"But are you prepared for this, you know I'm great at Martial Arts, haiyaaa!"
Aeston did a backflip with enraging stones in his feet, his kick was followed by stones and iit keeps on following his feet and hand movement. Khufu's quickly throwing sand to absorb each of the stones and they both equal in physical fighting. Aeston rides the Dragon Stone and turns stone into spikes and attack him in aerial view. Khufu claps his hands and made a palm rotation then punches the sand he's stepping that launches impact to be covered by the sand but before the spikes touche his eyes the sand hardens. The capsule sand was full of spikes but it didn't manage to go through his defense. Khufu then exploded his barrier which makes Aeston use his dragon stone to swirl it's body and jump from it to swiftly avoid the spikes. The attack of Khufu made the place storm, Aeston can't feel his presence so he flew up to the sky by uplifting shaft of sandstones. The moment he saw the shadow, he quickly turns into bullet, his head covered with the hardest stone having the velocity of an eagle but he was stopped momentarily by the sand grasp leaving his body elevated slightly on the ground. When Khufu checked the body, it was just a copy of Aeston, the moment he checked behind him, Aeston was already pointing sand claws on his neck.
Aeston:"How did it feel being a prey?"
Khufu:"I have born a champ"
A great feeling was felt by Khufu, there is a dark energy coming into their mainland. Since they are busy in fighting he just lately realize it. The shadowlance are much powerful than the omen, they are ranked as upper-third. Khufu then prepare to set traps with the help of Aeston. He also made Cleo ready and tell her to hide under the sand to make surprise attack. Aeston is making sand clouds and maintains the sandstorm to camoflauge it.
Ten minutes later, the shadowlances are riding a horse, it is pure black with reddish eyes. The dark footprints of the Chaos Horse can be seen on aerial view. Aeston is watching them on top of his sand cloud to signal them. As the shadowlances entered their zone, Aeston shouted "Dust Thou Art" to get their attention as he jumps from the cloud and gently ride topaz stones. It rains the different kind of gems from the pyramid. It was Ruby, Agate, Sapphire, Bloodstone and Amethyst falling drastically in shuriken shape and shouted again "To Dust Returnest." It has caused panic and made them to be more agile and sprint towards the Pyramid. Cleo swipe quarter of them from beneath, she devours them in an instant. The falling gems hurted the Chaos Horsemen. Aeston charged them with the fallen gems as he fires his body like a blazing bullet he is creating massive human bazooka, as his projectile and velocity increases, the gems are forming together to a missile shape and banging them all. Some of the shadowlance was thrown up high as thirty meters. They were going to surrender but Aeston didn't let them go away, the ranger was aiming at him. Khufu's great sense ability deflected the abyssal arrow with quicksand to make it strike stretched to the sand. Aeston did a tremor and transforming their stand to quicksand and leaving no trace of them.
They are now heading back to the Petram Temple as they finished their week training.
Khufu is still wondering how does the Noctis know their plan. Their entrance barrier was destructed and some of the pyramids are burning by their black smoke.
ATLANTIS
The kingdom of Atlantis has unwatered mainland. The surface of it is the ocean where the mermaids live, they develop strip of gills where you can tamper it to your neck and swim with the coral reefs. It is Neptune and Tidreon arrival but since he already got some ocean power, his body automated to adjust with it's nature environment. He's shocked that he grows gill on his neck. He can also talk with no disturbance of the ocean pressure.
Neptune:"The great thing with the thalassic stone is that it can transform you according to you water needs like fins, gills or even mermaid tail. Any creature you shared with water can make you like them."
Tidreon:"This very cool can I simp those mermaids?"
Neptune with a mad looking face:"No."
"We'll now start your training once you finished your food here, so there'll be two part, in the ocean and beneath of it in land. You should be versatile inorder to protect everyone. We are rooting for you new gens."
Tidreon:"I would accept it and I'll meet my family once again. They won't believe it."
Neptune:"But we'll remove your memories after all of this and promise to return your life to normal."
Tidreon knew he'll miss a lot and he can't wait to tell this lore since he and Ravier are watching videos about this.
Since Neptune wanted Tidreon to be complex when fighting in unusual place, he taught advantages like Manifest, whereas he could acquire some parts of the creatures he's sharing with water. Neptune let him explored to see some creatures and he found out some Leviathan - Monster closely related to lobster and have some neon algae tatto which has the power to make whirlpool anyone closes and scathed them even with the toughest scale. He also saw some Krakken in different sizes but it is known that Krakken grows bigger beneath the Atlantis Kingdom. He saw a lot of fishes simillar to Earth. Neptune told him to imitate the swim movement of the particular creature he wants and feel like he's the one. He encourages him because Tidreon really struggles and can only manifest small parts like his fingers and hair. Every hour they try every specie they can do and after a day, Tidreon manage to imitate five species. Neptune let him to rest and then the next dsy they continued until the third day which they learn the special techniques of each creatures. The first one he uses is the Krakken's tentacle, he releases inks in a projectile to make his aim impeccable. The next one is the jellyfish tip; he could electrocute with disregarding the water preventing the electrocution to involve others. The next one is Ice Lantern, basically it looks very similar to Lanternfish but with Albino look and yellow dried eyes, this species can freeze themselves as a protection and leaves tiny glacier vapor as they walk. He acquired the antenna which glows whenever he uses its power. It is magnificent when it fires through his hands and his pores can explode some glaciers turning his body to complete ice but his veins are immune to this kind of situation.
Tidreon:"This is really cool, I can't imagine what I can do more. Can I copy your tail to acquire your full power?"
Neptune:"Unfortunately you would only acquire the tail for swimming agility as my power is different from others and it doesn't come natural and besides godly powers can't be easily copied by shapeshifting."
Tidreon:"Never thought about that."
Neptune: “If you can do that what's the sense of training you."
Tidreon:"You can still train me but being powerful like you is something...."
Neptune: “Work hard for something you want to achieve, you won't get things easily by just wanting it fool."
Neptune taught him different waterstyle to attack and in the fifth day they decided to train in land.
Neptune: “Since you learned a lot fighting inside the ocean body, I'll teach you to be useful in land too."
Neptune taught him to waterbend, solidify it, equip, fly, water animal, water surfing and many more. Tidreon has an easy time imitating Neptune's Thalassic Art Technique.
The most important of his role being a support is the healing technique. Thalassic's power energy can turn any liquid to heal wounds, scars in just a matter of time. If you can master it, you can even heal dislocated bones, any kind of poison exist and the hottest black fire could be extinguished. On their sixth and last day, they focused on different types of healing at the same time, since there will be a war coming, he prepared Neptune to be the greatest support ever existed.
It's their last day at night but before they can go, Shadow Merefolk appears before them and invade their kingdom. They are taking the form of dark-green skin with claws and fin-feet. Neptune concludes that the Noctis are having cross-breed to have all-in-one fighters on any habitat. They are fast-swimmers holding a gun-hooks. Before they could even reach the kingdom, they have killed some of the mermaids and eating their shadows, Tidreon is surprised on what he witnesses. The mermaids collapsed and the eater gains tails from the mermaid.
Neptune:"Stay away with them, they'll lurk your shadow and once your shadow was eaten, your body will never be seen."
Tidreon and Neptune handle them both and creating whirlpool with their swim rotation. They have landed out some of them. This is the perfect time for Tidreon to practice his fins and tails, he smacks them with his tail, it weighs a hundred twenty-kilograms. Tidreon put so much effort on wielding it, in every splash and smack he do, the Shadow Merefolks are being sucked and dizzy inside. The longer they stay at the ocean, the more agonizing it is for them. Tidreon manifests clam on his left hand to finish it all. He finally kills them but he has to suck the bloodink they have left. He used octopus tentacles to reverse the ink blood suction.
ALFEIMR
It is the arrival of Lady Kimune and Agatha.
It is the living land of elves. There are humans living there and having friends with the elves. Lady Kimune have turned Dark Elves into Josalfar. Josalfar are to good elves and Dosalfar are the bad ones. They are just infected by the Noctis but they were originally known to guard the kingdom and the swamps connecting the Atlantis and its kingdom. Lady showed her the Chimera Stone, she talked about what the stones can do such as, Illusions, Spells and Lucid Dreaming. It has few power specialties but comes into many uses.
Kimune:"This is the Chimera Stone darling, you shared power from this. First sleep and we'll meet in your dream to train."
They met in her dream and guide her to Lucid Dream. They took about eight hours sleeping but Lady made sure first that she has eaten before performing this session. Agatha learned to tamed her fantasy mind in their first session. She learned how to be more creative after Lady Kimune let him explored the world in their dream. She created a similar place of the world where in they can wander safely and took some inspirations from it.
After a week of practice, she learned the Illusion Technique, which is morphing. Agatha could turn into white kitsune that has red three line marking on her forehead. Lady Kimune turned into a different kind of Chimera, mixture of angel, snake and lion. Another set on whale, mantis and rhino. For her third set the iguana, saber-toothed cat and cheetah. She has shown Agatha how powerful a chimera could be.
When they got to their last mission. Shadowboogeyman has invaded their dreams. They are usually the ones to attack the dreams of other people as nightmares. They can't harm but brings trauma and messages to them. Lady Kimune senses something different from the Boogeyman she encountered. Agatha was too scared because she's easily to get frightened of nightmares. Those nightmares can shapeshift according to their fear. It turns into dark clown, spiders and shallow. In Lady's point of view, she saw Kholos and Tenebris in their appearance. Lady didn't let them be taken by their fears. She encourages Agatha to keep dreaming and since they own it, they have the power in their mind to become the god of their own world. Lady states that you are the lord for your own dreams, you can control everything you want in Lucid Dreaming. Agatha keeps dreaming and blindfolded her sight to erase the shapeshift of her fears. Lady summons wands and exterminate them with the old chants from Josalfar. Agatha was about to be consumed by the darkness as she elevated to think about a massive purple starry tornado. The darkness creeps upward her but before her face was consumed, she released a big bang of purple tornado. Every Noctis that holds them was stretched as thinnest as the hair. They were pulled by black hole created by the huhe explosion and then finally exterminating them to wake up on the reality. After they woke up, they hugged each other for performing different stunt.
AGARTHA
It is the arrival of Hocrus and Ravier. The place is modernized and you can see so much beautiful witches. Dark Arts and Dark witchcrafts are punishable by Hocrus. He was the prince and known to be kind to the most disliked creatures. He failed a lot on uniting his kingdom, five years ago they were the poorest empire in the world. They don't have something to trade so the giants and other beings protested to impeach him down. With the help of Desonomy and Kimune, his image was back and built Agartha a better place. They lived inside the core of the world for their safety.
Hocrus:"This is the Lacuna Stone, it can deliver you into different position of this places. You are directly owning it's power, so you have it in your body."
They have started their training and let him choose his weapons. Ravier choose deck of cards as his weapon. Hocrus asked his craftsmen to create cards that has neurolink and sharp edges. Hocrus made a deck universal pocket so he can produce infinite types of cards. The particular card has different specialty and their number tells the rate of damage and specific measurement. The spade can shrink or enlarge things and its number is the capacity. The hearts can charm any beings despite the gender and giving the user a command control over their body. The number on these cards tell how long the spell stays. The diamonds can take forms of things in the holder's choice, the number decides how big it will be. The flowers can let him summon warp hole to use it as pocket hollow, best use for sucking matter and attacks and deliver it wherever he throws the identical card. The number shows how big the warp hole can be.
They took five days for Ravier to master the ways of teleporting and traverse. He also learns to pick up being a fast hand because it requires quick thinking to apprehend on the opponent's attack. They spend the last two days on wandering through the Agartha and Hocrus introduced him into his eldest masters to learn some tips from him. It was night when they are about to head back to the temple but there's also a surprise attack from the Noctis. They are the shadowshadowest-type of noctis, they could split their physical body and turn into smoke. Hocrus summons warpholes to entrap them but he was surprised for this kind of mutant Noctis. He can't believe how far they've become. Ravier uses six of diamonds go create nitrogen smoke to neutralize their ability to vaporize. After freezing and slowing their body, he throws three of spades to shrink their scythes resulting to unpowered weapon. Their scythes could release ink for blinding a target. He rains a lot of six of diamonds turning into chains to bridled them together. For last attack, he summons five of flowers to suck them altogether, Hocrus then traverse the identical card into space to transport them. They managed to do it in eleven minutes and they are now heading back to the Petram Temple after Hocrus made a new seal chantment to the possible entrance of Noctis.
