After sitting in a circle to decide on the conditions of their rebirth, Kaede stood up and spoke.
“Would you allow us to be born together in the same family, but with different races?”
“To whom are you asking that?” asked Kaelon.
“Anyone?”
”It will be complicated.” Kaelon furrowed his brows, deep in thought. “Yes…that could happen… Eureka! Absolutely!”
“Thanks. We will now give the conditions of our rebirth. I’ll start. Human, red hair, brown eyes”
Aika followed
“ Beastwoman, golden hair, light blue eyes, beautiful skin complexion and texture.”
Aiko stepped up next.
”Beastwoman. Silver hair, green eyes—and flawless skin, of course.”
Hakuto stepped up next. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZA53H9MP1
“Dragonet, black hair, brown eyes.” 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtEBuz5S6j
He hesitated, then added, almost whispering, 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX9oqzBp6Z
“Slim frame.”106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadgdwlEudW
A faint blush crept across his cheeks, as if revealing a secret desire.
“Good!” said Kaelon. “We’ll now move on to your special skills. I’ll commence.”
”By my authority as a god, I bestow upon you the divine spell, Divine Help. Speak its name only in true despair, and the heavens shall answer.” he intoned.
He was followed by Helena.
“By my grace, I grant you the gift of poison’s denial. Its workings will unfold when your path requires it.”
She was succeeded by Malias.
“On my honor, I grant you the form of the wild. Become any beast you know—this power is yours forever.”
The others followed. Zen gave them near immortality.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qnqYs9R7U
“From dusk to dawn, your bodies shall defy death. So long as a single piece of you remains, you shall rise anew.”106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ1hzYkxws
Celestia gave them the ability to make dragon scales appear as shields.
“I grant you the might of dragons. At will, summon scales of obsidian or pearl to shield your flesh from blade and flame.”106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWb4Ui182i
They were now ready. With a flick of his hand Kaelon declares…
”Esteemed heroes, we are sending you to save Aedalon. Do not fail”
A blinding light surged around them, but this time, their hearts were steady. They did not flinch. They did not fear. Together, they would face the darkness—and win.
