Eternal Ascensions

A change is on the horizon, threatening the balance set in place by the Primordials. — The Plane of Ishva’al, a world of untold mysteries and wonders, is ruled by the Four Great Lineages, each lead by Royal Bloodlines of unparalleled majesty and power. Adonis, a humble servant of the Aksal Lineage is seeking the very zenith of the Heavens as his ambitions burn deep and his gaze is set upon the throne that lies atop it all. Yet, he finds himself cursed and shunned by his very own kin as all blades are turned toward him and he is trialed for a crime he did not commit. Unwilling to resign himself to the schemes and dictates of fate, he escapes the clutches of his jailers and is ushered into the violence and ruthlessness of Ishva’al, forced to fend for himself in a place where survival is the only law. With nascent dreams and aspirations, he sets on the Forsaken path of Ascendants but this all comes crashing down as the world crumbles and an apocalyptic event begins. The Planar Awakenings. *** Join the discord: https://discord.gg/zbqqvxMwpS

Slaughter(II)

What defined skill? What separated the masters from the apprentices?

Was it precision? Was it mastery? Was it experience? Was it comprehension of the arts? Was it adaptability? Was it techniques? 

Was it all?

To Adonis, it didn't matter. He wanted to reach the zenith in any aisle that could possibly define skill.

What he wanted was a form of perfection that stood beyond the zenith of perfection itself.

He wanted to be unmatched.

As he spent more time in the real world, Adonis learnt more about himself and over these past few months, he discovered a few things.

He hated not being in control and he hated imperfection. He hated weakness as well. Even more than the two.

Funnily enough, these traits perfectly reflected the Gifts he'd awakened but even this wasn't enough to satisfy his need for perfection. His need for control. His need for power.

It was a slow process but it was happening.
