Crimson Magister

Chapter 8

The tent Aqua and Azure were sent to was nothing impressive, just black and white cloth put over metallic skeleton with bare minimum amenities needed to support someone living there.

By all margins it was nothing but a normal tent, meant to be easily disassembled and carried, Aqua slowly opened the flap which served as the entrance letting Azure enter first before following shortly after.

Inside was surprisingly clean and spacious, with top of the roof open leaving space for smoke from the central fire to safely exit the tent.

2 bedrolls were situated on two opposite sides of tent with sacks full of clothes already packed and ready to go sitting against tent's metallic support.

"Feel free to have your pick and change Azure, I wont peek I promise" Aqua teased as she looked over Azure's flushed face

Azure shuffled for a moment before answering "Lady Aqua, we are both girls, and you already saw me naked!" her cheeks flushed red as she turned her head as to hide her embarrassment.

'ADORABLE, I will need to fix her Divine corruption and she will be perfect!' Aqua smiled as she looked at Azure, to her it was like watching at mirror image of her old self.

From her naive demeanour despite her position to the will of divine implanted in her, it was truly a mirror, although on a lesser scale.

"Well I will need to see you if I am to apply illusion on you and not botch it, so please undress and stand in front of me, you weren't this shy when you teased me back when we first met!" She smirked as she saw Azure shuffling about before nodding.

Azure averted her gaze as she slowly removed her oversized Armor, dropping it aside before removing her makeshift clothes revealing her slender physique not fit for a fighter relying on strength "Please be quick, being without Armor makes me feel vulnerable"

Aqua smiled as she gazed over her, she could get a proper view of her companion, while she looked amazing in Aqua's eyes, it would be true for all elves.

Until now she never had a chance to take a good look at Azure, like herself she had blue eyes even though they were more pale blue even if her right eye was taken by the green glow by curtesy of divine, her hair long and so blonde that it bordered white was now stained by her transformation turning it completely white.

What caught Aqua's eye was that the Divine influence spread even more, the green patches of Argusian skin covering slightly more of her elven skin.

'So the influence didn't just grant her a boon, that figures, but what is even more concerning is that it seems to spread even faster than before' Aqua thought about burning away the influence, but making enemies in unknown world more than she already has would be a disaster.

'I will allow it for now, once I learn which divine parasite granted her this I will make plans, ill make that parasite regret showing itself!' She chuckled in her mind as she thought about eradicating yet another divinity that threatened her people.

And yet she couldn't act without information, while unlikely, for all she knew the parasite that granted her this blessing would be even more powerful than supreme deity of her world.

"Lady Aqua please don't stare that much!" Azure was flushed completely red as Aqua was in her thoughts.

"Oh sorry Azure, I was just admiring your look" Aqua responded as bluntly as she could, after all it wasn't a complete lie.

Azure took a small step back before answering "So you can even cast illusions, im impressed Lady Aqua"

Aqua gently placed her hands on Azure's head as her hands glowed eerie purple and blue light as Azure's form shifted and changed.
