1 Curiosity Summoned the God
"Hmm. The last time humans could not bear the amount of magic. Looks like human bodies are fragile indeed. The 'hero' I chose was not competent enough as well. He was too presumptuous too. Bragging how I chose him and all. It made me angry in the end. This time, let see... How about elves?
Normally I hang out alone in my domain but this time it looks like I have company. I don't know how you entered but I don't really care. I should introduce myself.
My name is Rhaxtyx, the God of Magic. And this is the world of Grelia. A wonderful tropical world with two suns. Summers are especially hot but it is not that unbearable. The second sun rises from west and the mountains just shine with that. A beautiful scenery indeed. Uhh… losing my track here.
In this world, there are a number of species. Intelligent ones are not just humans as well. There are elves, dwarves, beastkin, demon kin and so on. What I do in this world is, well govern magic. Make sure it is not used excessively and always bound by rules. If I detect someone with intent of going out of bounds, I stop them. I should, actually but my curiosity usually gets the better of me. I want to see what'll happen most of the time. This time as well.
I plan on giving an elvhen baby some kind of blessing, a mark of myself if you will. Just to see what happens. I tried humans the last time. The human that I chose died when he became a tyrant in a small town. That was the first time I'm choosing an elvhen and I very badly want to see what'll happen!
Well then. That one looks cute."
------------------------------------
"Hmm. So this is the template. Looks a bit too intricate. But I have no choice! I have to do it! I just hope the ingredients are sufficient enough. Thyme, allspice, nettle, ginseng. And finally blood. This is for the ink to draw the circle."
------------------------------------
"Okay. Now that I've chosen my elvhen baby, I can finally sit back, relax and enjoy the show. The ones bearing my mark from birth have unique traits to them. Of course they have high affinity to magic but there are also physical marks as well. Like a sigil on some part of the body. Usually all white hair and red eyes but these traits are not so uncommon among the elves so I don't know what will happen to this elvhen child. Oh! It's a girl! That's interesting.
Looks like elvhen bearers tend to have characteristic changes rather than physical. They tend to be more active. Hyper active! Wow wasn't expecting that. Elves are usually very calm. Let's see how she will turn out. She's entering her teen years. Snacks!"
-------------------------------------
"It's all ready! Finally! I can start. What are the incantations? I see... Let's start."
Open, The Gates of Ul!
Break the rules and descend before me!
Thou shall become my sword and slay my enemy!
Devour my blood!
By the ancient contract I summon thee!
-------------------------------------
"Hmm, it looks like the elvhen is done with human oppression. With the power of the chosen one, they decided to wage war on them. What a pity... really. A race as wise as elvhen doing something so idiotic. Welp, I'm just an observer after all and it looks like the final resistance is upon them. So let's see what will happen. Oh sh*t! Need some snacks again.
Snac-! What the...?!
A bright flash and a red circle. That's unexpected. And directly in my realm? It looks like a magic circle but there is something wrong, or should I say different? Interesting, seems like I should work on this with my full attention. *Snap* And full attention means postponing the current experiment."
With a snap, Rhaxtyx took away everything he gave to that elven woman. His mark, his powers and so on. His red eyes were fully focused on the magic circle that appeared out of nowhere. He carefully approached to take a better look at it. Its color was as bright as blood and the formulae were in a foreign language. Which was weird if you think about it. Rhaxtyx was The God of Magic and he knew all the languages that are associated with magic.
"Let's see what you hide from me. You beautifuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
Giving to his curiosity, he discarded all and went next to the circle, reaching out to it. As soon as his finger made contact, a bright light came to be and he was swallowed by it before he could react.
