Where Nuri stood there was now a tall red bird that looked like a phoenix its feathers the colors of red and orange shifting with the light. The edges of the wings and long tail trimmed with gold as well as a gold beak. A golden aura shown around her that gave off a warmth that flowed around me that seemed to give me more courage the longer I was around it. In the summon world there are many scary things giant Ogres that want to turn your organs into paste or things that can invade your nightmares and make you go insane. This however was the other side of the coin sometimes you see something so beautiful it almost brings you to tears. Turning towards Dionysus his form had changed as well his image was now chaotic it was as if I was looking at him throw a clear liquid that kept flowing and distorting his image and his clothing would change between two forms, but I could see his eyes clear as day. They looked powerful and full of confidence if the aura that was coming from what I guess is Nuri was not flowing through me I am pretty sure I would be a shaking mess right now.

"I see you have already noticed the effects I have put on that wine Officer Hendricks. You see Nuri thought if you drank some regular wine you would not come under the effects of my powers what she forgot is that I am not just a brewer of wine or some peddler of it. I am the wine god all of it is under my domain and I can change it however I wish. Yours, however, I made different especially for you. Having access to a power that you should not have till later would teach you better not to disrespect a god. He said his eyes going up in a grin then his from erupting into vines climbing across the room.

"Run Follow me!" Nuri yelled as I flowed her flight path out the door as it slammed shut.

The crowd had turned into a mass of black forms and red eyes screaming at the arena which now instead of wolves and an elephant giant looked like one giant flowing river of fur and blood. It looked like the giant was drowning in it thrashing around waves of blood coming up every time he hits. The Elephant giant unlike before which looked calm was now a raging storm of fury. It's eyes red as fire, scars all around his body, where his heart was not a gaping hole spewing black sludge. As we ran the black shapes lunged at us, I only had the ability to doge because my mind was so taken in by the sight. I tried to call Grog, but all I could hear in my mind was garbles and when trying to call my weapons they turned to snakes in my hands. Everything was shifting and turning I could feel things all around me the murderous intent, greed, hate, lust. All of it hitting my senses all at once my head started to pound and my stomach felt like it wanted to get rid of everything I had eaten from the last year. The only thing that stayed constant was Nuri's bird-like form that was in front of me. Focusing on it made it bearable to run through the crowd and in fact, the more I did the stronger I felt. We were coming onto a large door that to me looked like it had two chuckling faces on it. Nuri was about to open it when instead it was blown off its hinges. It was hard to tell how far I had been blown back, I did not have long to think about it as though the door came a tall figure. A female warrior clad in armor that looked to be made of wind her sword dripping blood that pooled on the ground shrieking faces forming in it.

The shadows from the arena descended on the warrior, it did them no good as they all were cut to shreds when they stepped close to her sword. More figures bolted out of the door it was hard to tell all their shapes, but a few stood out. A man made of dirt and earth that exuded an overwhelming amount of calm started crushing the shadows. A figure of blazing fire flying through spreading its flames to the shadows. It was utter chaos and all of the noise was starting to make my brain feel like it was in a vise. It was all too much, and blackness took me.
