31 Chapter 31

After we finished purifying everything, we met again.

"Mother Pétrea, could you make a map with the positions of the "dark beings" like the one you made before? ".

I said with one of my "heads", which was at his level.

"Very good."

With a simple wave of her hand, a large land map appeared.

-There is no more corruption in the area. With all the darkness of the land gone, the next point would be to attack the enemy that is in Neptulon's territory.

"The next lone target must be more powerful than this one. It has had more time to produce more troops. He should also have felt the death of his 'equal' at our hands."

I said confidently.

-I can feel the connection that all the "Old Gods" have, now that I am practically "one of them".

Al'Akir was interested in the comment, so he asked me.

"What do you know about it...forge earth?"

"You may call me as you prefer, Lord of the Air. With my change, I can now feel the connection that binds all these 'dark beings' together. I can hear their screams and whispers... their threats and I can also feel how some of them scream in pain. They are at war with each other. Feeding on each other for more power. We must end this quickly, or we cannot win. This power grows the more they consume, we don't have much time."

-It was a reality. The whispers were not only, from what I suppose are the "Void Lords", who for beings representing a primordial aspect, have quite incredible voices. In fact, I believe there is "A Lady of the Void" whose whispers are the ones I hear the most. She has an incredible voice, it's very... I don't know how to say it if I'm honest... I almost feel like Tarantino with his foot fetish, but with the voice... Hahahaha. The others also have amazing voices, but if I'm being honest, I only listen to them when "Mistress of the Void" goes silent. They're all so repetitive though... I guess I'll have to teach them marketing and some sense of humor. I mean, if I were a Void Lord I would first gain the "trust" of those who listen to me. Something like, "Good morning mortals, this is dark radio, whispering to you the infinite possibilities of dark power. Today we will talk about the growth process of beings and how darkness can alleviate pain in pregnant women. Among other topics, don't you think the light is very strong today?" ... hahaha. I love my sense of humor, maybe it's because I'm myself."

Without realizing it, I lost myself in idle thoughts. While the Elemental Lords watched me in confusion. Maybe the smile I had on all my "faces" or my sudden surge of joyful feelings are the cause, who knows, hehe.

"Well, then we'll have to hurry. We'll follow the original plan and try to end this fight quickly. Forge Earth, please..."

Then there was a momentary silence.

"Forge Earth?"

With this question, I quickly snapped out of my silly thoughts.

"I agree with you, Lord of the Air."

I said immediately.

-I had heard everything, I was just distracted. Anyway, it will be done as Al'Akir said, no need for my approval on this.

"... Forge Earth, please tell us if you know anything else."

"Oh, right. The enemy is waiting for us. That's what the dark being we're going to attack told me. How did he know that? , I can really only assume it would be the logical thing to do, considering he's close and alone."

...

After the "meeting" or "elementary council", we continue our march towards our next enemy.

-Tonight, the two Moons orbiting Azeroth look beautiful. A "White Moon" and a slightly smaller "Blue Moon". It is an illuminated night, but I can still see the stars spread across the sky. My size helps me see better. The lack of gas pollution, light pollution and lack of large buildings only adds to the appeal of this peaceful night.

Speak in Kalimag looking towards the largest of the Moons.

"I know you are there. Watching everything that happens in this world..."

There was only silence and everything remained the same.

-I really don't know what I expect by doing this.

"I want you to know, "Elune", that this world is important. Very important... I don't know, and I really want to believe that you don't know. But I..."

*SIGH"

"I don't know why I'm talking to you. It doesn't matter. Just keep lighting up this beautiful night, I think today, it's my only comfort."

-I felt a little melancholy about the view. I used to see the sky when I was human. I would see the stars late at night, even more so when there were electrical problems. I just wanted to understand what was up there. The view was beautiful, but my curiosity as to whether something or someone would see me from far beyond what I could see was enormous. I think I watched the stars so long that I thought I saw some kind of communication between them... There was a kind of pattern where their light increased and decreased, almost imperceptibly, but I could see it. Like when someone raises their hands in a stadium and starts a "wave", something like that. A magical moment.

As we marched. In the midst of the sight and my melancholy, I wondered.

- What would happen if the woman I'm waiting so long to meet is not what I expect her to be, if all this time, as is very likely, I have only been idealizing her without really knowing anything and only believing that I know her?

...

-I'm afraid I'm fooling myself. I can wait, I can wait thousands of years, but, if she doesn't turn out to be who I expect and if I never manage to fall in love with her either, then what?...keep waiting for some other of my female characters and hope that she will get my heart?...I could do that, but if she isn't either, will I keep waiting? Will I manage to hold on for so long just with the illusion of a possible love...?

I shuddered a little.

-I, I don't know... I can fight, I can hope, but I'm still afraid of being wrong. I'm afraid I'll never be able to find someone... not me.

I shook my heads.

-I can't doubt now. This must be the darkness trying to make me fall, but it won't succeed. I have hope, someday I will find someone. No matter the time, in the end, I am an eternal being, and if I'm not quite there yet, then I will be. As long as I am alive I will find a way, as long as I exist, the possibilities are endless.

Coming out of my melancholic state, I just continued to look at the big white moon in the beautiful starry sky.

-In the end, if I can't find someone, I just have to create them. I have the power, I can do it. I just have to be careful not to create obsession for me, in her mind. I want love, not a minion. A spiritual connection, not something ephemeral like a physical relationship. Although considering my future "eternity", it wouldn't be so ephemeral, but no matter, I understand myself. Hahaha, exactly. Only I understand myself...

I went into deep thought. Around me, many people were looking at me strangely, but I didn't notice.

As for the moon... it was still shining beautifully, though perhaps, just a little bit brighter.

...

(Time after. 14 days)

-It took us a while to get there, but the "Old God" was waiting for us. And from what I see, he prepared for this battle.

Millions of "Aqir" and "N'raqi" were in the dark capital. This one was a bit bigger than the previous one, and the corruption could be felt much more in the atmosphere.

-These "Aqir" are a little different from the previous ones. The smaller ones are 5 times bigger. They have thicker shells and look more like a mixture of wasp, ant, hundred feet and moth. Many legs on an elongated body. Large black eyes, with a kind of hair covering their head and limbs. Sharp stinger and weird sharp antennae... all of them buzzing in the sky. The smallest one looked like a medium-sized dog and the sizes only went up.

Observe the entire battlefield.

-They are all entrenched in their "City/Temple". And those "N'raqi also look stronger. I see some that look the size of "Elemental Lords" ... Now that I remember. For sure they are the "C'Thrax" generals, of the army of this "Ancient God". The "C'Thrax"... those "N'raqi" that looked like octopuses with lobster that I enjoyed devouring so much... they will be troublesome, but, I don't think much. I did start to get hungry though... well, that's actually the thing. I'm always hungry.

I watched quietly as our army took up position and decided to say a few words to the "Dark God".

-It is a pity that I cannot be understood by others. This dark language, I think it was called "Shath'Yar". I'm not sure, I read it in a post, I may be lying. It is certainly quite unintelligible, at least to those who do not possess a great influence of the void.

"Are you ready to feed me with your being, you loathsome creature?"

-Although it's ironic that I should say so, considering that I'm more of an "Old God" than an elemental at this point.

His response came in a shrill voice. It sounded high-pitched and deep, with clicks from its jaw and mouth. This being looked like a huge hundred-footer. An insect with a chitinous carapace and multiple legs with sharp points and sickles. It possessed some tentacles, but not so many. Its legs 8 front legs were the longest and its lower part connected and twisted in the ground.

-He is taller than me because of the length of his body. I'm thicker. I'll sure wolf him down like spaghetti *glup*. From here I smell my food. His power smells so tasty *glup glup glup*.

I wiped the drool that fell from my mouth.

-How disgusted I am. I want to go back to my elemental body, I can't stand this look. But first I must know how strong I am now, and this guy looks more powerful than the poor fool I devoured before.

"Shik-shik-shik-shik-shik-shik, Your existence is new, little being. I find it intriguing *clip clip clip clip clip clip*, How did you do it, is it because of your hunger that you obtained its power, *clip clip clip clip clip clip* I want to know before I feed on your corpse, little one."

-So you know about it. Well, it's not like I was hiding it in the first place. The elemental lords must know that I get stronger the more power I consume, it's obvious. As for this stupid provocation... Pffft what a child, he still doesn't know about mind games. does he think I'm afraid of him, hahaha.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, do you think your words cause fear, you want to eat me and I want to eat you, if you want my fear you will have to exert yourself. If I win this, your power will be mine, your flesh will be mine, your will will be consumed. JA-JRA- JRAG-JRAGH-JRAGH-JRAGH-JRAGH-JRAGH".

At some point my voice began to distort with echoes of multiple voices, but they all sounded distinct, like some kind of grotesque roar that formed and twisted my laughter.

-Haha, I didn't know I could talk so cool. I like this way better now... but I think I can keep the dark echoes in my voice, I just have to practice.

I turned to look at the "Elemental Lords" and smiled, though a bit of drool was dribbling out of my mouth.

"Let's start the fight as soon as you like. I'm hungry already."

"..."

There was a momentary silence and then Ragnaros began to laugh.

"Let's finish quickly, I want to see who will consume this being first, will he be purified by my fire!!!? Or will he fall before you, Minion! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Smiling even more I told him.

"Let us compete Lord of Fire. Whoever devours this dark being first, wins!"

He didn't respond, but his smile and the increase in his fire told me everything. To kick this off I decided to roar and see if I could boost morale.

"FOOOORRR AAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOTTTTHHHHHHHHH"

I started moving towards the enemy as soon as I finished, I didn't need to turn around or say anything else to feel the rising emotions of the elementals.

The enemy "Old God" only shouted on his tongue.

"XITH WGAH! = Extermination!"

...

I felt for the first time how horrible it feels to be eaten alive, or well, to be tried. But I just had to expand my dark influence, to force all dark enemies that came near me to kill each other.

-Ragnaros runs beside me, he looks small. He's only about 20 or 30 meters long. I'm about 300 to 500 meters, I'm not sure. My enemy about 600 to 700 meters. But this big noodle will be devoured by a darkness that would forever erase his being from existence. *Glup*

Author's Note: What do you think of this chapter, I hope you liked it.

I must apologize to you if I seem to be slow, but I write the ideas in such a way that the protagonist's progress doesn't seem so forced. Although I don't know if it seems so, if it seems so I apologize, if it doesn't, then I'm doing something right. We're almost done with this "arc" or "temporary moment", there are only a few things left to add and for me to decide on others.

If I start updating every other day, it's probably because I'm researching everything again. I'm a bit picky and I really don't want to make a mistake now that I feel I'm doing well. So I'm going, "step by step to victory".

I invite you to tell me what you would like to see improved in the novel. If it is the way I write, the way I detail the fights, the way some character expresses himself. If they don't tell me I can't improve, in case I don't like it and it could be better. I'm not a fortune teller yet, nor have I learned how to see the future XD. I welcome all suggestions, ideas, advice and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism that you give me.

Let's build with patience and harmony. Every comment motivates me to continue writing and I thank you all who do it, Thank you for that ^^. I wish you a great day or a good night. :D
