259 Chimera [#2]

Rain... Ah, soft raindrops falling onto his coppe

tan skin, sliding down his smooth hair into droplets of water onto the wet mud. Mud, wet dirt that is fun to play with when you're a kid, but it also is fun to roll around in.

Don't judge him, he can't get sick anyway, so he enjoyed a good rain while rolling around in the mud because he never got to enjoy a skmple childhood on his life! He always had to study, study, study, and fucking study all the time and it was all for nothing as he died and couldn't use the knowledge he acquired to have a job and slave away the rest of the miserable days of his life! "Ah~'' He heard the rumbling noise of his inner friends, he blinked and his eyes flashed with different beautiful colors- One was like hellfire, black and red and orange, with tints of yellow, the pupil being completely black like the void.

The other eye had a golden pupil, almost like a beautiful precious stone shining in the dark, the whole eye had this faint but beautiful light blue coloration with greens, darker blues, and tones of green-ish to flashes of bright white sometimes.

Those eyes were... Beautiful.

And even more beautiful was what it gazed at- On one side, a large horse stood. Easily bigger and bulkier than an elephant, with large black wings, the back and tail of this horse was oure blue fire, the wings were also fire but black, the color eyes of the horse and Vincent's left eye was the same for this was his Unholy Nightmare. On the other side of his vision stood another horse, this one just as big as the other, but without wings- Only a horn, white fur and beautiful golden hooves, there were golden 'tattoos' on the white fur of the horse that curled around its four paws and long tail, the horn also had a swirling golden thread that ended at the sharp pointy end of the horn, the horse was also giving off a weak aura of light. Being together, side by side, these two were at odds- They despise each other, but cannot be apart, or they'll die.

Meanwhile their human is rolling in the fucking mud- Is he brain damaged!?

"Stop looking at me like that." Vincent grumbled as he looked at the two horses who scoffed and looked away from him, they were simply a manifestation of his inner spirit, where they were inside right now: "I wanna be a horse... i think I should try that." And try it he did, his bones and flesh turned upside down and his skin was ripped inside out as he bathed in the drops of the rain. Standing there was a normal size horse with white fur, black scales, blue fire as his hair and golden fire as his wings, the long and pointy horn was a mixtre of black and white that spiraled up to the pointy end, where his fur was, he had these black lines that would spiral around, where his scalss were, these lines were golden, but they connected. 'Huh, neat!' Vincent spread open his wings and though of flight before he took off, his hooves kicking the wind as his wings carried him away above the clouds faster than he expected! 'Woah-' His thoughts lagged behind for a second as he broke through the dark clouds where rain and thunder couldn't reach him, he briefly saw the lightning blue electricity flash through the clouds as he passed through them and that same connection he felt through the water come to the wind and lightning.

Aether was the source of every primordial, esoteric, and elemental forces, including magic- While Aether represented the healing, good natured aspects of daid elements, Nether represented the destructive and dangerous side of it. He could use Aether to heal, while Nether would be more like a withering, like Necromancy.

Which is why, with his control over the wind, he could reduce the air attrition to almost none, greatly increasing his flight speed beyond what he thought would happen! He flashed through the sky like a lightning bolt and danced through the clouds as his hooves kicked the clouds, it felt so freeing.

So amazing...

Neigh, it was beyond amazing.

-Scene Cut-

With his new senses, Vincent could perceive reality in a whole different way! He saw the Astral world, or the Aether and Nether around in everything! These energies were everywhere he looked, like shadow and light, it went everywhere. So when he saw the long lines beneath the ground with a large amount of magic going in a river-like pattern, he knew he had found something interesting, so he followed it. He saw how it, like a tectonic plaque, covered a whole continent and even beyond, going through the sea and even air sometimes! He found some settlements through the lines of magic, and where they met he found these strange but beautiful places- Sometimes they were lakes, mountains, trees, springs, waterfalls, caverns, and sometimes there was a house there.

He found three homes where the ley lines meet, they all had some old person that or tried to attack him or just froze in fear when they saw him, which was something. He talked to the one who didn't attack him and came to know that they were some kind of magic user and that he was something considered an abomination- "Because you're the embodiment of two pollar opposites, opposites that would kill each other rather than stay even close like they are within you." So apparently his two spiritual companions should've been trying to kill each other, but are actually together." Together, just the word was enough to make both horses inside him scoff and turn away while Vincent just smiled awkwardly- His spirit kept them both together because they despised each other to the point of even death, but they both enjoyed his spirit!

Something neutral that made both of their aspects, their essences, become one within him. And that? That was truly and utterly unique to him, well, him and some other beings that once born are known to destroy worlds. Nephalems, or as they are known- Demon/Angel Hybrids, more powerful than archangels or any angel, and purer than any demon. They can attain power enough to defy God, in this case, one of them- Bevause surprise~!

There are Gods.

Greek Gods, Norse Gods, Egyptian Gods...

Man, Vincent shook his head as he landed once again on another concentration of the Ley lines as they were called- That sweet old lady who helped him gave him a few books about some subjects, since it'd be good to have a powerful being like him on her side, and he isn't complaining! He was near England right now, this time he landed in a forest, a willow tree in the center of a crystalline lake was the center of this conglomerate of ley lines. "Is this a Nemeton...?" The name given to these things vary from language to language, some called it Center of Magic, others were Glyparynos which means Gathering of the Earth's Blood, and some even call it Magical Epicenter! But Nemetons are much more than a gathering of magic-

They are fragments of a tree more well known- Yggdrasil. Each Nemeton is connected or can connect to a different dimension, and the longer they live, the stronger they get and the amount of dimensions they can connect themselves to increases. Yggdrasil is just the first and the strongest Nemeton to be ever born, connected to nine realms and can channel the energy from all these nine realms freely. Midgard, or Earth, is also connected to it, which is why Vicent saw the lines of the magic going even towards the sky! He looked up and he could see the connection this world had to Yggdrasil, he could even "touch" it and move alongside its roots to reach Valhalla or higher! He also knew that Mount Olympus is also a Nemeton, so is every known location to be a God's or Pantheon's home.

And now Vincent is in front of an... "unclaimed" Nemeton, per say. No one has ever set foot here as far as he can tell, which means the giant willow tree before him is for him to take and make his home- The first thing he did was connect himself to the land, which was one of the first things he practiced from the book he received from that old lady -Her name was something like, Baba Yaga?- and thr results showed!

[Druid Magic lvl 1: You can use Druidic Magic, a type of magic that channels energy from nature to cast spells. Your connection with nature strengthen this type of magic.]

See? He learned real magic! He let his energy flow around him, he felt the Aether within every single grass blade and let his energy enter each one of them, he felt each grain of sand and gravel and dirt, each leaf of the willow, each drop of the lake's water, each spirit in this place gazed upon the two enormous horses that trotted along, claiming the land in which they stepped on while Vincent sat down and meditated. It took him a few hours to throughly claim this land, since not only was this his first try ever but also because... He ended up, you know, connecting himself with the entirety of England's and Scotland's ley lines.

By like, accident?

I mean, he connected himself to the ley line beaneath his feet and they kinda moved so he followed, his energy spreading on the surface, claiming the land as he passed through it- He felt dozens and dozens of creatures, and those who felt him back just stopped what they were doing as they sensed the birth of a new lord of the land- The unforseen backlash was the death of the actual lord of the land, so, sorry Queen? No, Vincent focused om something else while that old lady's soul floated away to be reincarnated into the child of some lady out there...

"Wow." Only a single word left his mouth as he completed the process of claiming the unclaimed land for himself- It hadn't been claimed yet because no one had enough energy or power or was even crazy enough to attempt such thing! So now this place belongs to him, this place and, like, the United Kingdom and Scotland too.

He prefers Scotland, to be honest.

[New Title: Lord of the Land

...]

There were other notifications, but Vincent pushed them away from his mind for the moment because of what he felt at that moment- Floods and floods of emotions from different creatures, humanoid beings or not that could feel his presence, his essence seeping into the earth beneath them and reaching out to seize their souls, analyzing them before each one of Vincent's spirits gave an evaluation.

There's about...

30% Good souls here, 45% Neutral and 25% Evil or tainted souls in his land. The Devil horse, wait, why not give them names since they can stroll outside of his body as physical and spiritual manifestations? "Hm... Mihr Salutifer (Healing) and Sag'thok Ag'thonok (To Curse and Wither)." Each horse spirit just ignored his words as they kept on walking around, Mihr was above the water looking at his reflection with almost narcissistic pride while Sag'thok was trying to headbutt a tree...? Oh, there was a black little creature with wings on it on top of the tree, it looked like a mischievous spirit from the Astral Plane, it had this almost monkey appearance and held onto a blowdart weapon that dripped with red liquid, it kept shooting it towards the super big bad evil horse without fear.

This little guy sure had courage.
