Elder Ibrahim

Flying inside the Void corridor the three vessels remodeled by the Ancients are now far better.

After a week of upgrading the ships Sophia claims the journey should take 2-3 years now, improving the travel time of the ships would aid them to joining the war against the Bisar faster.

"Do you think the Ancestor has a way to close the Void path connecting Vas and Teress?" General Vargas said speaking to Tes, Erin and Sophia.

"Even if he does do we let him die fighting in Vas? The enemy, if they kill and consume him they will gain his abilities. That would lead to them being able to reopen the path, we have to get him to let us assist him in anyway possible." Tes voiced her ideas to the group in this closed off meeting.

This time Erin spoke up "The most we can do is help hold open the Void gate, did he not already give us something we can do."

Turning to speak next was Vargas "We shall do as ordered, if you have any ideas of being more useful speak to Mistress Samara. She is always improving the troop morale with her visits, with Sophia bringing her around the ship.

Mistress Valara is always training or with the Ancestor, and he only meets with the two of them so this is all we can do for now. In these few months he has only met with us once."

Letting out a sigh Vargas sits deep into his chair.

Within the ships small combat training room, Val can be seen testing out new abilities, she tries finds as many as she can that work well with her style of combat.

Around her various weapons hover in the air around her most being lances, spear and swords, she sits in the center of the glowing weapons. Anyone near can hear the hum of the blades echoing off each other and then rebound into her before being pushed out, and back into the surrounding space.

Breathing in deeply Val stands up as each of the weapons turn into mist that swirl around, with her in the center she then absorbs the mist as she exits the training room.

...

In the center ship.

"Call General Vargas, Mara." Dashnell said as he stands up and turns to Mara.

"Ibrahim should be up ahead, also tell them to prepare for battle, he seems to be having some trouble, a few guest have been following him.

Even after gaining the power that is the God Tier, being half dead won't do you any good in a fight."

He said as he began to exit the ship.

"Mara cover the ships in a barrier of blood, once you do anything that comes chasing after him I want you to grind them to dust.

I'll get Ibrahim don't worry, he is worst off than I expected but we got here in time."

Not moving Dashnell lets the ship pass through him as he enters the Void.

Within the vast Void a middle aged man in black tattered robes is covered from head to toe in blood, with injuries all throughout his body.

Yet his uncaring expression telling a different story, noticing the giant blood barrier he heads down to see ships fire at his chasing enemies, looking closer he sees a face he could never forget.

"Grandson" Ibrahim calls out

"Don't call me that Old Man!

Open your mind to me! Don't make me kill you after you made it so close to Teress.

General Vargas has been waiting for you, I looked into his mind. Seems you raised him, no wonder he speaks up for you." Dashnell said as both his red eyes are glued on Ibrahim.

Ibrahim is not to surprised to see this youth stand before him until he fails to enter into his mind.

"You sealed off your mind from me? Seems your parents succeeded in removing my influence from the Guardians.

Fine search all you want child but we don't have much time to sit here and chat, from the looks of it you seem to have planned this out quite well." Ibrahim said with a smirk.

"I learned from you 'Old Man'. don't worry about the few enemies behind you, my wife Mara should be teaching them a painful lesson soon. So our chat can be as long as we need it to be, after all we have not seen each other in so long 'Grandfather'."

Standing on the helm of the ship Mara's abyss like black eyes turn blood red, as she sends tendrils of death to meet the incoming Creed. As they tear into the flesh of the screaming waves of enemies she crystallizes them into blood red shards before shattering the entire clump of them leaving nothing but dust particles of blood.

She then gathers the blood shards into her body.

"Working me so hard while you have a chat without me tsk tsk, (Ibrahim a legend of the Guardian Race.) Well I can meet him later no rush." She said Removing the Barrier around the ships. Mara then heads back into the ship.

Val sitting with the other's watches as Mara enters the room, waiting on her to give them news about the situation outside.

"They seem to want some alone time, they won't fight, Wild One has already got the information he wanted. They are planning something else I know it, but that was when I was kicked out of his mind."

Mara sat down after letting the others know about Ibrahim's return.

"You knew he would do that if you poked around to much lets just wait, it won't take long for them to work things out." Val said to the others, no longer bothered after saying her piece.

"Oh yea Sophia you might want to get the ready to receive Elder Ibrahim he is knocking on death's door." Saying this Mara once more exits the meeting room.

"Vargas come with me, we will meet Ibrahim in the second ship my equipment is there." Sophia said this as she rushed behind Mara leaving for the second ship.

...

"Listen Old Man after today I will be leaving to roam the other realms, I am taking those two with me as well, I can't leave them even if I wanted. As for Teress I leave it to you, with a God Tier expert guarding Teress things should be easy enough until the other Guardians wake up.

You can also work the other races harder they seem to have developed well without us. Oh yes I almost forgot destroy the Bisar General Gal and his toy cannon or keep it, as for the rest of the Bisar Race I leave that to you." Dashnell said staring at the Void behind Ibrahim as if trying to avoid a face to face.

"So many commands just for saving my life, such a petty child. Fine I'll watch over Teress long enough for the other Guardians to wake up after that I too will journey through the other realms.

Do we have a deal, is this enough?" Ibrahim said wanting to heal from his injuries as fast as possible.

"Yes we have a deal, but I am going to dump another trouble onto you!

It's to keep you company Old Man.

Crest is still alive, although her mind is a mess as they tried to brainwash her. But how would they know you already had control over every Guardian until their poison weakened your control over their minds.

Making it so we all gained a great deal of immunity to mind control, but they tried anyway.

After you restore her mind our deal ends, I'll deliver her to you after destroying all of Vas!" Dashnell then grabs hold of Ibrahim with his tail as they move towards Sophia's group that just exited one of the ships.

"Then it will be done, and you best remember the other part of our deal!" Ibrahim looks at Dashnell with a wide smile.

"Yes this stays between us now, no one will know about you controlling the Guardians like puppets to retain your position as leader. And you can make up a story about me and my wives great sacrifice to wipe out all of Vas.

Then we go our separate ways, maybe one day we can return but being in Teress brings about a uncontrollable rage in me."

...

Val and Mara both seeing and hearing this from Dashnell's eyes look at each other in shock after witnessing the talk they were allowed to spy on.

"So many more questions we have to grill him about Val."

"At least we know he is willing to trust us, after this we can seduce the rest out of him later."
