Born Of Blood (3)

I woke up to the assassin muttering above me the faint words sounded like "I know its a monster but how do I convince my friends that I didn't attack an innocent person."

I sat up and simply said "if you truly think I am a monster let me show you what I have spent my life researching how to do this and finally started to gather the blood required, I call it the Blood Symbiote I used mainly my blood so it is basically like a contracted beast but made out of only blood so it should be able to shapeshift." I then created in my hand a blood shell with a super dense blood-core in it (putting a small soul portion within it still connected to my soul) and said, "Unfortunately it still hasn't woken up or hatched even though I have fed it a wyvern's blood and an Abomination and a undeads bone marrow."

She looked startled and her hood finally came off when she jerked back letting her hazel brown hair sway out nearly to her shoulders. She was about 5 feet tall with a black cloak and hood covering most of her. Her facial features were quite plain, but the shinning blue eyes were slightly unnatural. "Are you really trying to make a living being isn't that forbidden by the laws of magic?"

I laughed and pointed out a flaw "This living being as you call it isn't currently alive and also is made using a portion of my soul so if anything, I could argue it's my child with a dragon or whatever creature it will resemble when it hatches." She looks surprised and begins to think but I simply exit the tent put up around me by them and see a city in the distance the golem sprinting with me and them in its hand with tents set up. The golem sees me awake and smiles at me with a giant grin. I tell it to compress itself and set the tents down of which it begins to compress itself first nearly knocking the tents out of its hands before I stop it and tell it to put us down before it compresses itself.

It smiles setting down the tents very gently as if they were an egg that could crack at any moment. The giant body begins to fluctuate rapidly shifting and deforming until it is my height completely red with no delay and a nondescript body almost a blurry mimic of my body. I then walk towards the guards at the gate who say "Hey Huit, Talia, and Nuklo did you manage to kill that wyvern you all were hunting I don't see its flesh, so I guess you failed, and you picked up another straggler. You seem to really like picking up those who suffer Nuklo."

The other guard looked straight at the hidden assassin and says "Natasha you can't hide from my Marked Eye. I know you want to finally catch me off guard, but you will never be able to my ability is the only reason I was allowed to become a guard like you should too because your ability is amazing at identifying monsters." Natasha comes out of the ground seemingly appearing from nowhere to everyone except me and the guard. I could track her blood flow which was reduced when she was hiding but not gone only the undead have no blood flow. 

I picked out a silver coin from the pouch I had under my robes that was half filled with copper coins a few silvers and a couple gold coins. I tossed it to the guard and said its for the fee for a person such as me I pulled down my hood causing both guards to turn away one vomiting to the side. I gave a pathetic shrug and then saw the guard sign to the party "WTF happened to this guy and how did he survive out there without any help look at him he looks like a charred fucking BBQ?"

The paladin Nuklo laughed and said "He's a Blood mage who can see using his blood which is part of the reason he looks like this but the other is something me and the others don't know I just know Natasha kept calling him a monster and acting like he was such until she tried to kill him again this morning and he revealed something to her I don't know what but it got her trust." I knew she was watching but didn't know it was this close because she obviously winked at me then proceeded to walk over to me and whisper in my ear "I'll help you get high class monster blood for that little illegal experiment of yours."

I smiled whispering "I just need some time to hatch the creature but it's not illegal because it technically is a part of me and will be nothing more than my own soul that can form a second body that can either merge with me or fight on its own with a beastly body." The paladin smiled walking towards the guard dragging me to the market she then forced me to take Imp, Nightstalker Hound, Hellbound Wolf, Abyss Walker, Huigern (A type of spirit Giant tribe), Dragon Beast, and Night crawler each of them from very young versions of the creatures under her eyes in the hotel we went to I put the blood into the egg allowing it to hatch with a separate consciousnesses made from mine own and still connected to me tightly.

It looked like a small palm sized version of a wolf then it changed form into that of an imp and floated onto my shoulder giggling and rubbing its head like a cat does to get scratches between its tiny and sharp horns. I started to pet and scratch its skin causing a deep purring sound which caused the paladin to smile and say "I knew you weren't lying but you truly must be a master of many arts to accomplish such a thing please teach me how to combine so many arts to make such a perfect technique you must have reached the pinnacle."
