Embraced by Ra 2

When Polemos entered the tent, Hassan opened his eyes as they shined a bright light when he opened them as he smiled.

"Welcome to my tent, and yes Ra definitely is, I just wish I realized it sooner. When we thought we killed you I felt disgusted with myself and tried to change myself and find something better and I did." Then he pointed to the urn. "I'm sorry this was the best I could do for Elder Spear after Ashern killed him. And if I could request anything please do it with fire. That's my only request that I could ask."

When Polemos heard what was in the urn his eyes shook as he stared at the urn by Hassan. Slightly ignoring the sitting Hassan.

When Hassan noticed the look in Polemos's eyes he was able to confirm that Elder Spear was someone who was important to him. He didn't even speak up as he just sat quietly waiting for Polemos.

Polemos was able to quickly pull himself back from looking at Elder Spears urn. When he looked back to Hassan he took a deep breath and spoke with a heavy but solemn voice.

"You have my thanks for doing that for Elder Spear."

Then Polemos did something that shocked Hassan! Polemos put his right fist into his palm, placed it over his heart and saluted and bowed his head forward.

When Hassan saw what Polemos did he couldn't understand why or what Polemos did as this was something that he never heard of or seen. He had no idea on how to respond but, he didn't have to wait as Polemos spoke up with a deep look in his purple his.

"I figured you'd be shocked by this but, this is the best way to show my respect for what you did for Elder Spear. You'll still be killed but before it happens I would have looked like an ass if I'd didn't do this as Elder Spear would have been disappointed." Polemos spoke with a calm and sincere voice making Hassan look towards Polemos in a different view as he sighed.

"I really wish I'd treated you differently. Polemos I was an ignorant and clueless child." Hassan looked towards the sky as he spoke and took a deep breath before looking back at Polemos with a clear and determined look in his eyes.

"I've waited long enough, I'm ready to be embraced by The Sun Goddess Ra. Whenever you're ready, Polemos."

When Polemos saw the look in Hassan's eyes he nodded his head and didn't say anything as he slowly walked towards the front of Hassan and stopped.

When he got close Hassan closed his eyes and interlocked his fingers and rested them on his lap.

When Polemos saw that he placed his hand atop of his head and spoke in a deep voice that held power.

"May you be embraced by your Goddess, Hassan."

Hassan didn't say anything as he silently waited for Polemos.

"Asmodeus' Hand!"

Polemos's hand turned a bright red as an intense and violent heat erupted from his hand as it seared and burned through Hassan's skull boiling and melting his brain from the outside in. Hassan couldn't even scream as both the heat and the pain was intense but he didn't even notice it as he felt something both warm and gentle embrace him as a soft and caring voice reached his ears that brought a small content smile to his face.

"Welcome home my child."

Polemos had no idea that Hassan was embraced by The Sun Goddess Ra! He couldn't even hear what she said to Hassan!

Polemos only continued to grip his head as his spell took his life as black blood flowed from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Steam even flowed from his head.

When Polemos felt his head had started to hurt he lifted his hand from Hassan's head leaving behind a black and charred handprint atop his skull.

Hassan's body didn't fall at all as his sitting body stood straight.

When Polemos saw the small smile on his face he had a crazy thought run through his mind.

'Was he actually embraced by Ra?" Polemos had a wondering look on his face as he looked at Hassan's content smile.

Polemos stood and watched Hassan with a solemn look on his face as he spoke aloud.

"Maybe I'm wrong about darkness being the only thing that embraces one in the end. I'm very ignorant when it comes to the customs and beliefs of this world as I can't just use my experience as proof." Polemos continued to look at the content smile on Hassan's face as he smiled and saluted Hassan again.

When Polemos was done with his salute he reached down and put Elder Spears ashes into his necklace and left Hassan's tent with a clear look in his purple eyes. When he was about to leave the tent he felt a voice in his head speak. When he heard the voice he stopped as he shook.

"Thank you for allowing my child to be embraced by fire, Polemos. For your kindness please take the robes that my child wore as they'll provide warmth on your journey as well as receive a small blessing." The voice was gentle as it was warm when Ra spoke to PolemosPolemos was wide eyed when Ra spoke and was surprised when she even thanked him for what he did, which confused him as well.

Polemos turned to look at the dead body of Hassan but what he saw was just a bright red like a setting sun robe, with gold trimming laying gently on the sands as Hassan's body vanished!

When Polemos saw that something finally clicked and dropped in place in his mind that not only scared him but excited him at the same time.

"Never underestimate your opponent regardless of who it is. I've been talked to by not one but two fuckin Goddesses. Just what type of world was I dropped into!? I should be scared or out of my mind, but I can't help but become excited with what's to come." Then he said something that made him have a crazed look in his purple eyes. "I wonder what it's like to fight and possibly kill a God?"

Polemos wasn't able to notice when he said that the black scale pulsed a dark light entering his body nor was he able to notice his Death Bells chime an eerie and cold sound.

When Polemos was able to pull himself from his crazed response he looked at the robe as he reached down and placed it inside his necklace.

"I'll wear this when it's time for me to leave the tribe." When Polemos touched the robe he felt a slight burning sensation flow into himself as he quickly pulled his hand back but the burning sensation continued.

But the burning sensation was replaced by a warm and gentle embrace as it flowed across his skin.

"So that's what she meant by a small blessing." Polemos felt as if he was washed by a warm and gentle fire across his skin but, to understand fully what the small blessing was he would need to experiment.

"But now isn't the best time, I need to leave and have Carl help me with Mana washing my marrow." He looked at the robe again as he grabbed it, this time nothing happened as he put it into his necklace.

After Polemos put the robe in his necklace he left Hassan's tent and greeted Rose who was hissing an angry hiss as both Mesakyle and Captain we're heading in his direction. When Polemos saw that he smirked as he called out to Rose.

"Let's get out of here Rose. It looks like my time is currently up for today as I'll need to come back tomorrow to finish up everything." When Rose heard Polemos she hissed as Polemos jumped and sat on her head but before she left and rushed back to their camp Polemos left a message and insulted Mesakyle.

"Hahahahahaha, aren't you a pathetic and horrible leader Measkyle. I've just killed not one but two important members of your tribe. And they couldn't do anything about it, you've raised some weak members. Now I only have Alyan, Ashern, and then you left." Polemos laughed in an evil and arrogant manner as he patted Rose's head as she left in a quick manner leaving behind a furious and fuming Mesakyle.

When he heard Polemos's mocking voice Mesakyle looked towards, Captain with anger and fury in his white eyes.

"I thought you told me that it was only his damn centipede that came close to the tribe and was causing mayhem!? Why didn't you tell me that the Cursed Devil of the tribe was here!?" Mesakyles anger was thick and palpable.

But Captain ignored it like he couldn't see his anger as he rubbed his chin.

"I didn't know he was here; the tribe members only mentioned his centipede." Captain had an embarrassed and bewildered expression as he spoke to Mesakyle.

When Mesakyle heard his Hunting Captains response he scowled as he looked at the fleeing figure in the distance then spoke with a heavy and furious voice.

"Does he know about the operation with the monster nest and the water source?"

"No, it doesn't seem like he would as you only told me and the Second Hunting Captain and I doubt he would have mentioned it to Hassan or Alayah." Captain lied as he knew Polemos knew about the operation as he was the one who told him but Mesakyle wouldn't find out until his final days which seemed to be coming.

"Good, I want nothing to interfere with it, especially not a damn curse of the tribe." Mesakyle continued to stare towards the fleeing Polemos but didn't notice the smirk on Captains face when he heard his response.

'Keep thinking that you old fool, soon you'll be embraced as your life will come to an abrupt end.'
