Awakening Chronicles

Chapter 22

"So the High Elves launched an invasion on the Nephilim homeworld and wiped them out?" Malek nodded his head sadly as he wrapped up his story.

"Yes. The High Elves were seeking power and thought that the last Nephilim Administrator would give it to them, so they killed him. By the time I arrived, I was too late to save anybody. Lucifer was the last one left, so I took him under my wing as a favor to a dying friend." Malek's voice trailed off as sorrow started to fill it, and a look of sadness crossed his face. I glanced back over to the training arena and watched as Lucifer and Nemesis were still engrossed in their conversation.

"That's sad. I thought the Angels and the Demons were the sole cause. Also how long ago was it?" I asked him as I tore my gaze back from the training arena.

"It was thousands of galactic rotations ago. Sadly, however, one of the main Administrators that perpetrated the genocide is still kicking, so watch your back. You will be safe during your protection period, but after I am sure he will try something. To touch on your other statement, they were the primary cause. The Elves just happened to deal the final blow."

I felt a wave of stress wash over me as Malek told me this. This was going to be a hard life and not quite the cakewalk that I thought it would be. "What is his name?" I asked him as I felt my Oblivion elemental move from my neck and quickly crawled down to my lap, nuzzling my hand.

"His name is Aylwin. He is a High Elf Administrator and is a guild master of one of our most prominent rival guilds. So watch your back. I tend to keep an eye on the stuff that he is doing, but at the end of the day, I need you to rely on yourself more than us." He told me, as I saw his gaze flash down to the oblivion elemental.

"Thank you for that information. I will keep an eye out, though I will mostly be keeping to myself unless you guys need help. I'll let you know if anything happens."

He nodded his head and scratched his head. "So I see that you decided on your paths of power, do you mind telling me what you chose?"

"Well, I found a planetary god, so I was forced into the Path of Godhood. I chose the Path of the Monster, and as you can probably tell, I started to walk the Path of the Oblivion Remnant." I told him as I pet the elementals head.

"That is a unique path combination. Though if you think about it, most path combinations are. You mentioned godhood. Do you have any specific domains in mind?" He asked me as he shifted back into his seat and crossed his arms.

I thought about his question for a moment. I wasn't sure, myself. There were countless options that I could choose, and the possibilities seemed endless. "I am not sure. I picked up a dimensional magic package when I first made my capital planet, So, I, for sure want to do something involving that. As for my second, I am not sure yet, I may do something that synergizes well with my class, or I may do something involving a path."

Malek quietly listened and took a moment before he spoke again. "Honestly, there are very few transdimensional gods in existence. I don't want to dissuade you from it though, because it is your life. But I don't know much about what that entails. However, for your second, I suggest choosing Oblivion as a domain. Since you walk the path, the domain should be available to you. It will help ease the overall difficulty of the path, though you will probably garner the attention of The Watcher even more so than what you have now."

"Ah, I did receive a message from him shortly after I selected the Path of the Oblivion Remnant," I asked him as I felt the elemental crawl back up my arms and wrapped itself around my neck.

"That sounds about right. The Watcher takes anything regarding Oblivion very seriously, so try not to irk it too much."

I nodded my head in agreement and decided to bring the conversation back to where it was previously. "When I select my domains, will they evolve like my class will?"
