<span style="font-weight:400">Back in the Tower of Hoeth, in Ulthuan. <span style="font-weight:400">Stru’Kas falls to the ground. <span style="font-weight:400">The realm tear above began to close as the one keeping it open dies. <span style="font-weight:400">Stru’Kas charred corpse began to vibrate and shimmer before exploding. <span style="font-weight:400">Hundreds of spell books and other artifacts began to appear and pile up as the corpse fade out of existence. <span style="font-weight:400">With Stru’Kas death, every spell books he have eaten and artifacts he have gathered are left behind. <span style="font-weight:400">This means that when he eventually respawned in the warp, <span style="font-weight:400">Stru’Kas will be the only Lord of Change that cannot cast a single spell as he cannot learn magic in normal way. <span style="font-weight:400">He will have to beg for help and he will owe many things to other Lord of Change or even to Tzeentch himself. <span style="font-weight:400">A game Tzeentch likes to y with his own daemons.
<span style="font-weight:400">Teclis finally fall and sat on the ground in exhaustion. <span style="font-weight:400">The rest of the lesser daemons are finally dispatched as the survivors from the Hierophant floor have reunited with those from the Druids floor and help cleanse the remaining daemons within the tower. <span style="font-weight:400">The rest that still able to stand help to put out the fires. <span style="font-weight:400">Miriel saved in time while Rivandil lost an arm though it is regrown as the Druids arrived to help. <span style="font-weight:400">But for those who are blinded when gazing at the warp. <span style="font-weight:400">It is unknown if they can fully recover. <span style="font-weight:400">They, along with those that saw nightmare and visions are then quarantined as they might shows signs of corruption.
<span style="font-weight:400">Teclis dug around the pile of spellbooks as soon as he able to stand. <span style="font-weight:400">He saw Vriel when he let loose his Fiery Convocation spell. <span style="font-weight:400">Burning her along with the Lord of Change. <span style="font-weight:400">Gritting through his exhaustion and weary mind, <span style="font-weight:400">he shuffle the pile. <span style="font-weight:400">Shoving the pile away one by one. <span style="font-weight:400">The amount of books and artifacts will took at least a few weeks just to categorize them let alone securing the chaos artifacts and spell books. <span style="font-weight:400">The other wizards did try to talk Teclis to rest but he heed none of them. <span style="font-weight:400">Some choose to help him instead.
<span style="font-weight:400">As the pile finally shuffled through, all that is left is ash. <span style="font-weight:400">Teclis let out a long sigh. <span style="font-weight:400">He has promised many things to Vriel. <span style="font-weight:400">Saving her, breaking her free from the daemon, and even a promise to himself to keep his niece safe. <span style="font-weight:400">And now he have failed all of them. <span style="font-weight:400">He sat on the pile. <span style="font-weight:400">Guilt and sadness take over his mind. <span style="font-weight:400">Resting his head on his hands, Teclis let out another long sigh as weariness finally catch up. <span style="font-weight:400">Rest slowly take him as he wished what could have been.
<span style="font-weight:400">—
<span style="font-weight:400">I left Sanctuary after some time. <span style="font-weight:400">Vriel is still coping. <span style="font-weight:400">She just need time I think. <span style="font-weight:400">But then I realized the extent of my desensitization. <span style="font-weight:400">I could still felt emotion. <span style="font-weight:400">My fear of the Chaos Gods and concern for Vriel is a prove of that. <span style="font-weight:400">But everythinge and go really fast. <span style="font-weight:400">I distinctly remember feeling afraid when thest wave of Bloodletters screamed and charged to me during the survival mode. <span style="font-weight:400">But it is gone in an instant and my initial shock when gangraped by the Bloodletters also gone quickly as I start enjoying the time. <span style="font-weight:400">I can’t even felt outraged by this realization. <span style="font-weight:400">As if some fundamental parts of me are gone when I be a daemon. <span style="font-weight:400">Then I grunt as I start giving birth. <span style="font-weight:400">This time I gave birth to three lesser daemons and two Bovigors. <span style="font-weight:400">The joy I felt seeing my newborns are also gone quickly. <span style="font-weight:400">Beastwomen came inside the tent and bring my babies to be nursed elsewhere.
<span style="font-weight:400">Abandoning this futile endeavor, I made my decision on picking Divinity concept. <span style="font-weight:400">I will y with Causality when I have more power and can afford mistakes. <span style="font-weight:400">Immediately I felt my power surged. <span style="font-weight:400">Again I grow taller. <span style="font-weight:400">A third set of horn grows behind my ears and spiral downwards. <span style="font-weight:400">Then notifications starts to appear.

<span style="font-weight:400">Knowledge on how to build those buildings appear on my mind. <span style="font-weight:400">Not to mention the requirement from my Ascension is directly halved. <span style="font-weight:400">I need to build a Herdstone as soon as possible. <span style="font-weight:400">We can build one right here as we are deep enough within Drakwald. <span style="font-weight:400">I just need a stone big enough for one. <span style="font-weight:400">Exiting my tent, I saw the herd already starts packing.
<span style="font-weight:400">“No. Stop.” <span style="font-weight:400">The herd stopped and looked at my direction <span style="font-weight:400">“We will be staying here for a while.”
<span style="font-weight:400">They start putting down their stuffs again while Kal divide the work order between the beastmen. <span style="font-weight:400">The crafters start to unpack their tanning racks and rerise the makeshift stone forge. <span style="font-weight:400">I raised my eyebrows seeing Robadel, the halfling cook leads some of my lesser daemons and beastwomen somewhere while armed.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Kal, Druig, Mal. Come here.” <span style="font-weight:400">I called the three of them as soon as Kal finished dividing the works
<span style="font-weight:400">“Where did that halfling go? And why do some follow him?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Gathering some nts.” <span style="font-weight:400">Kal answered. <span style="font-weight:400">“The cooking is tasty but he said he can’t cook human meat. The daemons helped by making the nts to grow with their magic.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Now that’s an interesting development. <span style="font-weight:400">Then I ask what else I have missed during my absence. <span style="font-weight:400">Apparently the halfling cook also help leading the way south. <span style="font-weight:400">Never thought Robadel will prove himself to be useful enough that some willingly follow him. <span style="font-weight:400">Other than that, the only interesting part is a greenskin fort a day’s journey back.<span style="font-weight:400">Returning to the topic.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Allright then. Kal, Druig, I need both of you to find a huge stone and bring it here. We will build a Herdstone here” <span style="font-weight:400">Hearing this, Mal’s three eyes lit up
<span style="font-weight:400">“How big?” <span style="font-weight:400">Kal asked
<span style="font-weight:400">Then I start to think. <span style="font-weight:400">There is no minimum size required in my knowledge other than it must be big. <span style="font-weight:400">I also start to get confused on my scale of things. Not only <span style="font-weight:400">I have grown taller and Druig also have grown significantly that I cannot make urateparison. <span style="font-weight:400">Is he 3 meters tall already? <span style="font-weight:400">My height only reached his shoulder. <span style="font-weight:400">Kal barely reached my chest but his horn also growsrger that it makes him looks taller.
<span style="font-weight:400">“At least 3 times bigger than Druig.” <span style="font-weight:400">I decided with the most convenientparison
<span style="font-weight:400">“Gather a search party for the stone. Do not worry about leaving personally to help the search. I am here now to help defend the herd.”
