Chapter 13: An Aspects


    Tyr quickly realises he has to learn to stabilize the mes to be warm enough to not burn him. This is much easier said than done. The entire time he has to tread water. Tyr muscles are good and stiff when he is not alight but being alight brings its own set of challenges. Tyr tries again. The tingle starting at the feet climbing up his body. covering every inch of him.


    The fire bursts out Tyr engulfing him in mes. He shouts as pains melt into one another. He can not fathom the purpose of this test. This is just pure torture. He isn''t afraid of pain but pain without purpose is worse. At least if he knew why he had to endure blistering cold, skin peeling heat, stinging cold, eardrum bloating mes, teeth shattering cold. He should be able to muster some kind of resistance.


    Through the blood in his ears. Tyr can hear her voice. Looking through eyes filled with fire an image in the mes. He remembers how she used tough before all her hair fell out. How they used to y in the yard together. In the middle of rain, she loves the wind. She loves him more than anything in the world. Sihle loves his little sister. She is suffering in a hospital her body destroying itself. She knows true pain. Certain pain that can never be turned off and yet she smiles.


    She finds beauty from her hospital bed and makes people around her light up just by talking to her. Through convulsive coughing, bone-breaking treatments she manages to smiles. Her smile is his own piece of mind. An ind amidst thundering storms.


    His body expels the fire forming a barrier. Holding on to the image of his sister he is able to force the mes to will. Unable to tread water he sinks slowly. Landing on theke he can see several tomes on theke floor. Each a treasure simr to the one he is carrying. HE can even see a legendary weapon. In his old life, it was used by Karl Draygo a god-level beast tamer. The rod of obedience not only gives a person an additional unique ss it also allows one to capture and breed dragons. Tyr can see only of the tomes is lit up. In his mind thinking of the way he can secure some of the other tomes here for his friends.


    Leave the Rod of Obedience aside, there is even a living weapon. The distinctive magic power it emits is as clear as the mid-morning sun. The risks are great if he gets out he will not be able toplete his inheritance. On the other side, any living weapon is as good as aplete legacy. He reaches out for a small ring. This ring was famous in his past life. A berserker could her hands on this ring. while she never exined all its functions. Its power is undeniable. This ring gave her immortality.


    A sh of energy warns that what he is about to do is dangerous. The ring is not meant for him. Tyr scratches his head trying to think of everything that has happened to him so far. Only Ramata''s words are clues. She had been the one to says that his trial would be one of blood and fire. He never thought she meant it literally. besides that, she also cautioned him that this trial is only for him. Reluctantly he goes towards the lit-up tome. a binder filled with a few pages


    [Tome of Fire - Spirit Fragment]


    Info: The tome of Fire belonged to Nogu before he ascended to godhood. This tome holds his unstoppable desire. His brother broke his tome into three pieces.


    Unusable


    Drops on death


    Requirements: Inheritor of Nogu


    Tyr waits a moment with nervous anticipation. He expected the two nearly identical tomes tobine or something. Clearly, they are part of a set. A pull pushes his body back a bit. Another tome lights up exactly twelve steps away. The ckke water starts rushing away. Making it difficult to move. Tyr tries to move forward. The water is too strong. He cant move forward.


    He can step back and to his left and right. A simple idea jumps into his head. too stupid to really the point. However what else can he do but walk backwards towards the tome. Whenever the water adjusts its flow he turns right or left to counteract and continue walking backwards. Tyr had relied on his sister once more. In order to ovee her kidneys failure. She decided to go back on to super harsh treatment. This meant that she lost what little mobility she had left. However, she bought herself for at least six months ording to the doctor. The treatment is so harsh she is in a foldednd. This is the modern-day equivalent of putting somebody in aa. Next week she shoulde out and Sihle will be able to talk to her.


    Tyr is d that she is around and he ns to keep her around for a long time still. The hundred thousand credits from the Syphon will be in his ount tomorrow. This will help get her better treatment. Acadia nitia where they live is a newly developing district. So he has to import the meds for her. This is extremely costly but at least for a month, he won''t have to worry about her body deteriorating further.


    The backwards walk doesn''t take long at all. going backwards to achieve one''s goal is something he needs to remember. At the light, The Tome is held up by a statue of Nogu. He looks younger than when he was in the cottage. his statue seems to be carved a luminescent rock. It is also incredibly lifelike. he feels like the statue must have been sculptured by a truly legendary figure. he admires the work looking at studying it intently. Coming across such artworks is rare in Oydessy.


    Nogu says, " Finally you have arrived." Tyr jumps out of his skin. His brown skin flushes blood as he gets the fright of his life. Falling to the ground he crawls backwards. He didn''t expect the man to statue to start talking. At least he could have waited until he reaches for the tome or something.


    Tyr says, "I am here." Tyr is at a loss for words. His heart is still racing and his thinking is not clear. So he said the only that came to his mind." Nogu startsughing gently. Hisughter is pristine and soothing.


    Nogu says, " Alright please listen for a moment." Nogu waves his hand and thin fments of light turn into a chair. The chair is soft to the touch. Sitting down Tyr can even feel a warmthing from it. The chair looks to be chip carved Tyr doesn''t recognize any of the images disyed.


    Tyr says, "Thank you Lord Nogu." Tyr wants to make the NPC he talking to is the Nogu or his brother. At least this way he can get an idea of what they want from. It''s clear that he is about to receive an epic item or quest. The dazzling Npc is too special to be a dud. Besides trials and special NPCs are but a few of the methods used to engage special quests.


    Nogu says, "Indeed friend, I built this ce to pass on my humanity. Being what I am take from a person their very being. I wanted to at least be able to pass on my legacy to someone. You are the only one who is worthy so far."


    Tyr smiles he is going to inherit a legacy directly from an NPC. Amongst the special weapons, legacies and inheritances that he thought of getting. this was not one of them. In fact he has no memories of anyone finding aplete legacy. In Odyssey, an inheritance is from a god directly. While legacies are from equally powerful none deities. Other forms of power also exist that can match gods in divinity after all they are the strongest forms of power.


    Tyr also knows from his memories that a yers power can only take them so far. A true guild needs its ownnd. Especially because he ns to grow into true power. He will need a few guilds supported by a strong firm. Of all these things none of them is unavable here in Pike but what is also unique to pike is that thend itself is the treasure and by securing it fully. His guild will have ess to unique technology from the Second rmic Empire. A superpower so old there is only legend about it and that is where he will start. Once he is done with this securing the keys to the empire will be a long journey.


    Tyr says, "I am d to thought so highly of by Lord Nogu. May I know what kind of gift you hope to give me." Tyr is being a little cautious rather than assuming he wants Lord Nogu to lead him.


    Lord Nogu says handing him the tome..."You have with you one of my three aspects. By epting it you will Earn my favour and receive my blessing." Tyr tries to go onto one knee so show his willingness..." Please friend listen first. This aspect is but one of three and each must be found if you wish to be my sessor." Tyr is a little confused be ones sessor is not a term used in Oydessy. Rather one inherits and they are the person they inherit from. It is why Seven-eyed Killer had to change the location he operates from because he inherent KIng Lobos'' Conquerer de.


    Tyr says," Your sessor my Lord?" Tyr is curious in his memories Odyssey still held a lot of secrets. One of the reasons he believed it is possible to be a true power. Despite therge amounts of money and people needed is the secret experts'' list. This list in his old life is updated once a year it lists powers and people. These powers or people are as strong or stronger than Glory listed guilds. The glory guilds are an existence even Tyr is not sure they ovee he can only build his empire and prepare for them.
