3 Silently Will Follow

Embracing the small elf in shadows as a hug to hide her eyes from the scenes happening in the Crystal pool below she had been watching. Looking at how many points she had accumulated over the past ten years, while this child had earned her sooo many points by herself.

The Goddess didn't want to send her to Him... Neither of the Gods ``wanted" to! But they had no choice in the matter... If they wanted to live... That is... It was an unconscious decision amongst all of the ones who were told this, was to not touch the Champion or High Ranks of the other Gods, to try and keep the one most adored when the Reset occurred!

But sadly this Reset was on Hell Mode and many lost their chance to continue to live... Except for one. Who only had one Over High Ranker and their Champion so She met the quota... Just barely tho... Taking a good look on Her wrist the Goddess saw the numbers 759,515,028,767,435. She sighed with relief that she had enough to sacrifice.

The elf finally got out of the mist and as she stumbled onto the Pool she could see countless of dead monster bodies littering all of the City! She fretted about her body's safety and the view quickly changed to an overview of the stadium. Her eyes darted around as she saw the corpses piling higher than the Stadium Roof... But they did not fall in nor bury the building as she saw a few hands moving extremely slowly and pausing every few feet as a Darkened Shadowed Beast prowled around sniffing for something.

She took a look at the time on the scoreboard, 00:05:23. Baffled, she looked behind her at the fading shadow hug she recently was in the back at the time in disbelief that only five minutes were left of the Trial!

The Goddess, with saddened eyes, looked away from the baffled child. She whispered to where even the mind link was full of sadness, :This is a parting gift from me, my child.:

Becoming appalled at the two new things her Goddess had done in a row, became conflicted. One was she spoke quietly! The Second... A Parting Gift!! Wasn't she coming back when she finished the Tyrant off!?!?

:What do you MEAN? Aren't I Returning Soon?!: The elf exclaimed with a hint of horror behind her voice.

Taking a deep breath, the Goddess sighed heavily, :I'll Tell You A Secret Lil-One... If The One Who Appears Before You Has Both Eyes, Look For A Child Amongst The Group Around You! If The One Who Appears Hides Behind A Stone Statue, For It Is The Stone Father Of The Makers, Bow To The Statue Before Finding The One With An Eye Patch! This Is All The Info I Can Give Without Angering Him Who Calls!:

Tears threatening to eat through, the elf closes her eyes and leans her head on the Goddess hand as some tears begin to fall like a stream. Feeling her Goddess disappear she fell back into her own body which was sitting down. Feeling the overwhelming sadness she cried and curled up into a ball. And cried hard enough to where those on the other side of the stadium and under the Obsidian could hear someone crying like no other.

Seeing her Child's sadness she paused the timer at 00:00:05 so no one would see her in this state of grief. Making a brief checklist of what to use her points on for those who she was gonna save from this coming Reset which only cost her one million points for the ones who survived. The rest were going to go to her Child to prepare her for the worst case scenario, for she knew not what setting He was going to put them on, since she lost all of her Brothers and Sisters in this Hell Round for His amusement!

Sadness filled the Goddess but not as much as Rage did, as the time drew near to let Him take her away. She was preparing everything in her points range, to the max lvl, to give to the tiny girl as the last Group Harrah's Revenge in His face!.

From all spells possible of all elements in existence: Spacial pockets in the form of Ceremonial Tattoos with stackable items per pattern: Summoning elite universal shadow soldiers: Her own God Cloak Of Darkness that her best Brother had made her for their most recent Survival Reset Challenge, God of Crafting.

Leaving 505,150 out of 759,515,028,767,435 points left available for what the Priestess specifically wanted as per the terms of the dual/slaughter.

Seeing as the Priestess had calmed down a bit she started the time back up again and in five seconds the Goddess will appear again in the world since the deaths of her family.

Beep Beep Beep Beep

A timer sounded throughout the City Bring the Shadow Beast to a Halt and any monsters still moving in the City Walls just suddenly died, quickly adding to the Tally Marks on the scoreboard.

The Obsidian retreated into the ground and the Professor was brought to the surface. Once it reaches the bottom rows is when a giant oval shaped spinning black portal appears in the middle of the Stadium. The random survivors all moved away in fright, for they didn't know what was going on. Once the ones in the stadium saw Portal they all looked for their Priestess... and saw she was on the floor against her seat with tear streaks on her face, so they thought she was crying for joy and also knelt on the ground.

The Goddess slowly stepped out of the giant hole and she was followed by Shadows that looked like a flowing dress with her pure white skin and blackened hair, she opened her eyes to show crystal clear blue eyes that looked like gems. She had red lips like cherries that parted perfectly as she spoke out loud,

"Thank You For Surviving The Trail!" She swept her hand and the wounds on those beneath her all healed, "Child Stand And Tell Me What You Wish!" She turned towards the Priestess on the ground of her seat and held her hand out to indicate who she was talking to exactly.

Sniffle Gulp Sigh

The two still alive on both sides of the elf scooted closer quickly and offered their arm and shoulders as silent support, for those two knew that it was her who was crying but didn't say anything.

Feeling touched at their silent understanding and support, for they were her personal guardians, she used them to stand up. Leaving her hand on each of their shoulders she looked up to her Goddess and spoke with confidence,

"As per the Tally Marks! I would like ..."

The Goddess put her hand up silencing her before she spoke,

"Take A Look At The Shadow List You See For I Have Already Decided To Give These To You As A Parting Gift Before You Are Summoned To The Admin Hall!"

Feeling the two tense at her words they felt fear for the first time in a long time as it meant being away from their Charge to Guard!

Reading quickly at all the things her Goddess was going to give her, she glanced at the Tally Marks then back again confused.

"What You Chose To Pick That Is Not On That List Will Count For The Tally Points For That List Is The Use Of My Own Power Points You Have Earned Me In Your Endeavor Throughout The Years!"

Sighing with relief, then looking back over the list to make sure what she wanted was not listed, she felt the two under her hands move up slightly and closer to her as quietly as they could to not be disrespectful. Giggling softly she understood their meaning.

"Would it be too much to turn these two into Summons that I can call repeatedly even if they are destroyed they won't die?" She asked with a straight face but tilted her head to one side slightly.

"Yes, I Can Do That! You Still Have Many Points To Use!"

"The ability to make a Domain within a Domain that is like a Maze to others! Darkened Healing ability so no one will know what I'm casting as well as Healing with any and all types of Shields!"

" Is There Anything Else You Would Like?"

" For the Storage Tattoos... can you make it have a screen like a tablet that only you can touch that shows me what's in it and can it have the reproduction function? So if there is only one item in it it will multiply daily or something? But that's all, because of what you have already given me, even the Mix Option I will put to good use, my Goddess! If I still have points left... ... Could you ultra max all my summons out so there won't be any life threatening situations? " The elf asked.

" Do You Wish For Them To Remember? Also "Which Form Do You Want Them To Be? "

"Yes, if possible! ... Humanoid if I have enough points, but beast as well so others will think they are a rare species!?"

" I Can Do That Little One! " The Goddess replied as it was added to the list and it was asking for permission to enact the merge of permanent skills, the Goddess quickly confirmed as time was running short.

The Three were engulfed in a shadowy cocoon of fire just as the night sky suddenly brightened up in Holy Fiery Light all around the world as it PURGED all living and dead things from the world all the way through to the Core of the Planet... Nothing was Spared! As the Light Reached the Final City from all directions it stopped for the Goddess's power was surging rampantly and a Beam appeared in the middle next to her and a being stepped out dressed as Golden Light Humanoid.

"WHO DO YOU GIVE AS TRIBUTE?"
