An Alacryic was a creature of that darkness. IT could if summoned and the spell had to be well the RITUAL had to be perfect. Her father had unknowingly, provided all of the necessary items to complete that.
Like a bat, it hung upside down in the darkness its wings folded around it. The arrival of Malfoid, who managed, to step beyond the barrier to perform the summoning?
After and not knowing if it had worked, Malfoid had stepped out, onto the wooden jetty that was next to the lake. TO sit? Reflect and wonder IF it had worked but also WHY there had been no indication that it had!
The anger from earlier had not subsided. Seldom ever did her rage ease and, often meeting others afterwards,, noting her facial expressions they would scuttle off.
Scrunching of her lips, clenching of her fists, especially where; that guy was concerned. NOW, she was sat here, her mood like the shadows around her, somewhat diffused, by the glimmer of the lights from the buildings.
The coldness? A cold chill a shadow in front of her to one side and then across her. Darkness, as though wrapped in DARKNESS.
“What you wish for, you understand you are playing with dark magic. You have knowingly, summoned an ANCIENT BEING; an Alacryic,
Born of darkness, sharp talons, claws for feet and, wings that when closed hide us in a cloak of invisibility. Our PHYSIOLOGY, sometimes ANATOMY; skin colours; can differ depending upon our PROGENESIS.
OUR ORIGINS as ANCIENT BEINGS across the vastness of the Qiverse; across TIME itself. WE have existed here on Solus (Earth) for millenia.. MILLIONS of yars (YEARS) WE are on record in legends; as the VALKYRA.. VALKRAN.. VALKYRAIE.
In command of our OWN DESTINY. With powers that go far beyond YOUR simple magics. Though you can SUMMON those of our kind IF you use the right incantations, spells. BUT even if we ‘attend’ are present gives YOU a mere mortal; NO powers over us.
What you seek, is a reflection of your innermost thoughts; DESIRES. WISHES. YOU cannot go back and change YOUR PAST.. I have been close to YOU, I have sensed, felt your PAIN, YOUR ANGER, FEARS and DESPAIR.
Once OUR race TOO suffered at the hands of others who sought to inflict pain and suffering to the point we had no choice but to enact an extinction event upon this world. Forced to hide in the shadows from the primitives who emerged.
ONES like your kind who sought us out used DARK MAGICS on any of us to seek to control us to use us. abuse us. Their own avarice, used to bring about their own punishment for that as we stood by and watched; YES we took some pleasure from it.
I can grant your wish, BUT, I will NOT; guarantee what happens IF you make the choice. YOUR FUTURE, YOUR DESTINY. ONLY the Gods of Creation can alter that. IF they choose they can judge YOU on YOUR choices.
PUNISH YOU for your use of magics, the incantations, spells NEVER come without some COST? YOUR mere EXISTENCE is at their, directly or indirectly RIGHT to EXIST. BUT they are not without COMPASSION.
Malfoid was resolute. NOT going to change her mind. Her father had attacked her again, not physically this time just verbal mental abuse. FULL on in her face reminding her once again, that she would never amount to anything.
Ancient artefacts that her father had, ones she has been stood in front of earlier including that time piece and a strange box that glowed illuminated and said to house some mystic energy. Power she will need, to allow her, to travel in TIME..
LEAVE BEHIND HER PAST; INTO HER ‘ FUTURE’ !
