《System Descendant: Awakening》Chapter 12 C

The flames did pretty much what Lucas hoped they would. After holding the spell for 5 seconds, all of the wolves were down. Not all of them were dead, but they were all down.
As soon as the flames died out, the guards turned their swords on Lucas. “Overpowered son of a bitch, What the hell do you think you are doing casting flames at us!” shouted one of the guards, presumably the leader of the guards that were up here at the moment.
“I defined you as allies, there was no risk to you,” responded Lucas
“What do you mean you defined us as allies, that little shout in the middle of the fight? Is this something you do often, running up to random people who are in battle and scaring the piss out of them by coating everything around them in flames?” replied the angry guard.
Lucas replied, “Well no, this was the first time.”
But before Lucas could continue his sentence the guard burst in “What do you mean this was your first time, how did you know it was going to work?”
“Well if I didn’t interfere you were dead when the wolves routed you, and then they would have turned on me. I wouldn’t have been able to keep them close enough together to burn them to a crisp, and it is likely I would have died too. I could take the risk and kill the wolves, to protect your town, and maybe get you help if I had burned you, or let you fall to the wolves, get killed by the wolves myself, and then have the wolves go attack your town.”
Thoughtfully the guard responded, “Aye, well when you put it that way...I guess thanks for the help. On to guard business then. Where are you headed?”

“I’m headed to the town just a few kilometers away on the other side of the river. I would like to buy some supplies if possible, possibly barter skills for a night’s stay and some information,” replied Lucas.
“Do you have coin then?” asked the guard with the limp.
“Not as such, but I think I can offer some services. I have unlocked enchanting and I can perform the luck enchant. I have unlocked a number of other enchants but I haven’t been able to practice them yet.” With that, Lucas pulled out his dagger.
After a quick inspection by the leader of the guard, the guard scoffed “I guess that will do. Since you have no coin, the fee for crossing the bridge will be a single enchant to one of our weapons. We will let you know which one once you have agreed to the price. Unless you also have some magic which can heal our wounds to go with that fancy fire magic. Then we will consider the fees paid in full and let you go on your way.”
“While I don’t technically have enough affinity for it, I can see if I can string together a healing spell,” replied Lucas.
“No, No, that’s alright. No need to test flame-based healing on us. You may go,” replied the head guard, clearly intimidated at the thought of experimental magic.
As Lucas started over the bridge, the guard who hadn’t yet said a word turned and shouted at Lucas, “Aren’t you going to loot your kills?”
“What do you mean loot my kills, I don’t have time to skin the wolfs and pick through them to see what is salvageable...”
“You haven’t heard of Looting where you are from...you must really be from the Stix. Put your hand against the dead wolf and think loot. The body will disappear and a bag containing loot is left. Everything stays compressed in that bag until after you open it. They’re bigger on the inside, but once you empty them, the bags disappear. Instead of 14 wolfs, you just need to carry 14 bags of wolf bits”

“That does sound really handy, and I can always use the extra meat,” commented Lucas as he walked back to the site of his wolf massacre. “Thanks for the tip”
One by one Lucas put his hand to the charred wolves and thought “Loot!” the same way he would think about casting one of his spells. One by one the wolves disappeared and left a bag. That is until he got to the last few wolves. “Uh, guys… I can’t loot these three.”
“Those must be the ones that we killed before you cast flames. That means the system recognizes that the loot is ours,” replied the head guard.
“That makes sense. Thank’s guys!” said Lucas. As he headed away he handed each of the guards one of the loot bags.
“For your troubles.”
“Thanks, mister. You make sure to visit the traders’ hall with the rest of that loot!” replied the last guard as Lucas walked passed.
“I plan on it.”

Life isn’t always fair. While most have the blessing of having two loving parents, Glacia Weiss is living another reality. The Gardenia, a warrior whose soul is half dragon, was murdered in the dead of night. This warrior was Glacia’s mother. Who witnessed the murder at only eight years old. The man who committed murder was none other than her father, Wiley Weiss. Unknowing of what would happen to her, she escaped the estate and fled the city into the darkness of the night as the dragon’s soul bound itself to its offspring. Days later, she was found in the wild by a woman named Lavia Achilles, the leader of an order called the Tarragon, who took her in. For reasons she didn’t understand, the Tarragon never returned her, and the details of her mother’s death never went beyond her being murdered to the public. Over ten years, the scene of her mother’s death had replayed day after day as the only one who knew what really happened that night. Driving her to escape the order and find her father, only to fail repeatedly. It wasn’t until the day she became one of them where freedom felt possible. On orders, she’s sent to the edge of the Elysia border. Miles from where, a year prior, the port town of Morath was burned to the ground from a dragon attack. Now haunted by what’s believed to be a fragmented being of the fire deity: The Ash of Ebon. To her, it looks more of an opportunity to earn her freedom.

The Weaver's Wrath
Millennia have passed since the end of the God Wars. Mankind's heroes of these wars, the powerful Luminescents, have since become the rulers of the lands, relying on their ancestors' deeds to fuel their own ambitions. The Church itself has fractured since the death of their Goddess. Now it has shifted its focus to a new power - the descendents of the men and women who had received her blessing in the past - the Luminescents. However, with the death of the Goddess Selene, their own abilities began to lessen in quality with each successive generation, leaving them grasping desperately at whatever they can; money, lands, power. Sevrath was born in a time far different than that of ages past. Much of the continent was under the rule of the powerful Luminescent rulers. The Gods were dead and gone; the age of man had begun. Only the Desolate Lands lay unconquered and resolute, a relic of the power of Deimos, the God of Death and Destruction. So when he is found near the borders of the Desolate Lands, what does it mean? Is he some spawn of demon, like many of the townsfolk of Carthal believe, or something else altogether? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This will not necessarily be something that is updated often.
