The legend of Zaphratos

A moment of peace

After walking through the forest into the field ahead then to the right into the area filled with tons of rocks with bits of grass in between them Henry sees his old home causing his heart to drop at the sight, now reduced to a large amount of large boulder like rocks collected in piles against the wall that was once an entrance and a smaller amount of them have fallen in the surrounding area.

"Wow, I didn't get a good look before," Henry says slowly and softly remembering everything that happened up to his escape from the now-collapsed cave. "A tragedy no doubt," Zaphratos says softly trying to empathize, Henry nods and stands there remembering it all then the events of his coat feeling his heart drop further "We should probably get started, " Henry says his voice shaky as he tries to change the subject.

"Yes, let's do that" Zaphratos replies in a soft voice, Zaphratos then takes over and eyes a large light gray boulder in front of them before raising his arms his fingers spread out and his palms towards as he closes his eyes and begins to channel his celestial energy before suddenly opening his eyes and turning his left hand to the right facing his right hand as he lines both hands up and lightly twists their position bringing forth a sphere of energy between them once again. He then slowly pulls his right hand back slowly moving the left hand as well to keep the sphere focused before he makes the sudden thrust of his right hand launching the sphere of built-up energy at the boulder ahead.

Zaphratos lets out a somewhat soft grunt-like noise as he thrusts and releases a few soft breaths as he watches the sphere of energy cause the boulder to explode into smaller chunks in all directions a smaller chunk even hitting his feet causing a slight pain but nothing zaphratos will give much reaction to. Zaphratos lets out a few more soft breaths as he walks forth looking for anything of value from the exploded boulder. A small smirk spreads across his face as he notices a small chunk that's a much darker grey in color. "what's that?" Henry says still feeling down but slightly excited,  "it's a type of metal, pretty solid should definitely make do for the spell," Zaphratos says as he picks up the metal object with his right hand closing his fingers around it to the best of his ability feeling a bit proud of his work and very certain this will work out.

Henry takes back over and smiles feeling a lot better "Okay" he says in a louder upbeat tone "so we got the core, what next?" Henry says full of interest. "Hmm, well I'd recommend we go to the beach for this next part, we'll need to enchant the core and then mold the outer shell," zaphratos says thinking it out thoroughly. "Okay, let's do it!" Henry says feeling energized as he turns around and starts walking towards the beach before slowing down with a small laugh "Can't forget to be careful around these rocks" he says to himself as he keeps most of his gaze downward. Zaphratos mentally smiles feeling like Henry is truly growing into a capable person then his thoughts shift to his son, as Henry keeps walking Zaphratos begins to think deeper about his son "I need to go back to him, Henry is important but I'm leaving my son and my wife over there to deal with not only raising him but possibly even Ataran if he arrives" his heart metaphorically sinks. Henry notices Zaphratos is being quiet as he is just about to get past the rocky chunks into the long open field seeing the forest on his left. "you okay Zaphratos?" Henry asks softly, Zaphratos mentally smiles feeling a bit better at Henry's question "Yes, just thinking about my family" Zaphratos says his thoughts returning to the present quest. "Oh.. well don't worry too much, soon enough you'll be able to go back to them," Henry says in a positive tone other than the oh, Zaphratos feels more confident about them and his return to them now "Yes, thank you, Henry," he says his thoughts almost completely returning to the current quest "let's get you the golem," Zaphratos says in a louder more confident voice. Henry smiles and agrees "Yeah" before continuing his walk with a smile causing him to speed walk as he happily thinks about what it will be like.
