Awakening Chronicles

Chapter 15.2

I peered into space as I attempted to formulate my next train of thought. I eventually decided to ask about my choices involving the creation of my world. "So Helios, what do you think about my choices of magic, and monsters?"

He stared at me blankly for a moment before he spoke again. "You did well regarding the monsters. You implemented basic ones for your races, to level and grow with which is good. The orc pack was supper iffy since they repopulate quickly. But it is still really good practice for your races, especially since they need to learn how to defend themselves against a diverse amount of threats."

I felt relieved at that, at least he semi-approved of my choice regarding the monsters.

"Now about your magic, the basic spell casting was a good choice. It gives your populace a chance to experiment to see what the like and don't like, however, what I didn't really approve of is the dimensional magic. That is a later purchase, why did you get it now?" He asked me quizzically and tilted his head.

I had to resist the urge to facepalm my self at his reaction? "Why didn't you stop me from making that purchase then?" I sat forward and stared at him annoyed for a moment longer.

"Well. To be honest I didn't feel like it."

My mouth dropped and I stared at him. Really? He didn't feel like it? The nerve of this angel. "What the hell kind of system companion even are you?" I stood up and yelled at him. This angel really was ridiculous.

"Well, look who is talking. You are the one who didn't give me a customized template. I have a mix between a companion who wants to help and the attitude of a noble divine angel. Really its a fight internally most of the time to actually want to help." He glared at me while his voice stayed monotonous. His rich accent faded into something that was flat and each syllable was punctuated with annoyance.

I let out a soft breath and sat back into my chair. I really shouldn't yell at him. It was my fault for being in such a rush at the start. I waved my hand in dismissal and rested it on the armrest of the chair, "I'm sorry for yelling. I'm just annoyed that I put my self in this situation."

Helios stared at me for a moment and shook his head, "Its alright. It's kind of my fault really. I'll work on my attitude a little more and hopefully, we can both overcome our shortcomings." I gave Helios a faint smile and leaned forward to stretch out my hand.

"Yes, hopefully, we can work towards fixing this." He took my hand and we both shook on it. He took his hand back and sat back into his chair, and looked around for a moment.

"What do you say we leave this stuffy control room? We can continue this talk down on Ouradia and we can slide in some combat training as well." He asked me as he stood up and extended his wings and extended his aura outwards in a blinding golden light show.

"Sounds like a plan." I stood up and attempted to stretch my wings out like him, only to fail and have them retract back in.

"Looks like we also get to do some physical training as well. Don't forget to grab your blades. You will need them for this. I'll be waiting for you planetside, just use the interface to find me." With those words, he vanished and left me standing in the observation room to collect my things. I turned my attention to the hallway and thought about going to talk to Aphelia once more. I stared longingly at the entrance to the next set of rooms before I chased that thought out of my head. I don't think I was quite ready to go for any kind of relationship, especially with everything going through my head at the current moment.

I walked over to the table that my weapons sat on and grabbed the row of sheaths and took a second to marvel at the sight. The sheathes were ink black and a faint red light radiated from the blades held within. I pulled one of the blades from its sheathe and marveled at its design. The metal was grey and scarlet red mana pulsed from its core and pulled the floating pieces closer together, and lined the edges of the blade. I ran a finger across the mana and felt my flesh catch on it. I pulled my hand back in surprise that the mana actually held an edge. I would have to research that soon and see why that was.
