The Flow of Arcane: New Legends Arises

Rising Concerns

Set watched as Nez Ha and Ogun bonded down the Midgardian undead creation. Though, he couldn't understand how such an amalgamation was able to be created. "Wondering how this thing was made, Set?" Questioned one of Set's most hated Olympians, Zeus. Then again, Zeus was more than aware that many of the Divine despised him for similar reasons why they hated Odin. Both of them had ultimately created most of the problems that many across Yggdrasil had to endure. Yet, Zeus was more hated for the fact he was pretty much, as everyone has referred to him, a Lightning Whore. Unlike what most modern media had depicted him as some benevolent God and noble ruler over Olympians. That was far from the truth of the kind of person he was. Zeus may talk about wise ideals and just moral code... However, his actions would often be hypocritical to his words. Sleeping with practically anyone except for his actual wife, Hera. "I know how you view me, Set. But remember that it was my suggestion for Aries to take your place as Aspect of War. I know that you didn't come to regret that and I can say that I am proud of my son for the role you mentored him for." The Olympian of The Skies emphasizes. Making The Aker of The Deserts reevaluate his stance when it came to this monster.

Taking a brief moment to consider his next words, ensuring they weren't filled with his distaste for Zeus. Set then relays his thoughts to Zeus. "You're not wrong about my concerns with this thing... Never seen a Curse be altered like this by Humans." Set began as Zeus crossed his arms and listened to his Son's Mentor, "We both know for a damn fact that there is no way for Midgardians to achieve something like this with their current base knowledge on Arcane and Mana Energies. Whoever created that thing studied The Wendigo Curse as well as the unfortunate Lenshy they used to create that abomination..." The Aker concluded as The Olympian thought over Set's words on the matter.

"I fully agree with you, but who would be able to have this level of knowledge? I can't think of any Midgardian, Mythic, Demon, or even Divine with this level of knowledge and have the resources to create that thing..." The Olympian replied as they were both left with more questions than answers, a running theme as of late regarding recent events. "One thing is for sure, whoever created that thing had an intention for the design." Zeus concluded as Set seemed somewhat shocked to hear this.

"What would that be exactly?" The Khnum Divine questioned as he stood up straight, no longer leaning against the wall of a destroyed building from the attack.

Zeus glanced over to Set with an expression of dread clear. "To see if it is possible to turn a Curse into a Biological Weapon. From what I can see from the devastation, an attempt to mimic Nadruk's Necrosite power." He explained before elaborating further, "I may have not encountered the infamous Wraith Conjureror myself, but I have heard stories about how this single form of magic he had taken from Apophis has made him into a threat beyond most Divine." Zeus clarified what he knew on the matter.

Set nodded to confirm this assessment on Nadruk, "Yeah. Necrosite can turn an entire army into Nadruk's Pishachas. Those Pishachas also can spread the poison themselves, making things far worse. This singular spell has allowed him to end entire empires by himself by making the defenders into the very force to destroy them. From what we know, there is very little to counter this form of Soul Corruption." He finished as Zeus was glad to hear his information was correct.

"And what this creature was capable of doing was on a far lesser level. Yes, it worked. Though nowhere near to Nadruk's Necrosite. One modified Wendigo could create many Draugrs, but the Draugrs are mindless compared to the commander. In comparison, The Wraiths are as effective as their commander as if they were extensions of their will." Zeus finished with his explanation as Set saw why Zeus believed this statement.

"Then it would be best that we take the entity to Asgard for it to be properly contained. Though... In its current state, I don't think it would matter much as it was rendered into a blob-like mass from all of the abuse it had to endure." Declared Ogun while looking back at the feral mass of undead flesh as it snarled and roared in anger as well as desperate hunger.
