The world was still in the embrace of the night god, but the lingering image of a loving father was the only thing in my mind.
Embraced by the warmth of the night, I walked through the dark forest. The forest outside the elven territory was dangerous. If we let our guard down, we could end up prey to some wandering beast. But for some reason, despite knowing that, there was this odd warmth that sought to wrap itself around me.
"How strange," I muttered.
The shaman, Gi Za Zakuend, might be able to uncover the cause of this strange atmosphere, but as for me, the most I can do is to keep it in mind.
It's not a bad feeling though, and I've actually already gotten used to it by now. I walked through the forest of the night while filled with that strange sense of warmth.
"Blood and war is your path, little one. Neither fear it nor turn away from it."
It's been a while since Verid last spoke.
"Worried that I'll stop fighting?" I asked.
"The old gods of the water and the forest live eternally. Their influence upon these lands is great, weakening the burn of the flame. It is uncomfortable."
The snake spoke honestly. The other snake, the one whose mark was a gem on my left hand, seemed to agree with Verid as its mark quietly rumbled.
"I have already begun my path to domination. It is a bit too late to be turning away now."
I have long been sick of this thirst for conquest within me. I want to win. I want to fight!
Those feelings blazed like a great flame within me as I spoke to Verid.
"I will take back that which was taken from me. Until then I will crush everything in my path."
"Little brother, don't forget. The Goddess of the UnderworldLady Altesia is both our mother and master."
The calm feeling within me changed, and the smile of a beast appeared on my face.
"It doesn't matter who it is. If someone stands in my path, I will cut them down. I won't care even if they're gods."
Good... Good! That is how you should be. Don't forget, little one. The words I, the guiding black flames, have given you. Don't ever forget."
Verid's laughter resounded loudly along with the squirming of the snake symbol on my arm, then his voice vanished.
Remembering the words I said just moments ago, I muttered to myself. "I will take you back. No matter the cost..."
Those words vanished in the dim light of the night.

Altesia sweetly smiled as she watched the goblin reflected on the giant magic mirror.
"He conquered the demihumans, and now, his claws reach for the elves. Unexpected... Truly, unexpected," Altesia said to the one-eyed snake, Verid.
"The barrier of the forest and water gods have indeed been strengthened. It would be difficult for anyone to enter without the invitation of the elves," Verid said.
