《War of the gods [Forum game]》Chapter 24. A gift from the great spirit
Advertisement
In the air a book had been materialized in front of the leader of the cultists. Its cover had six alive faces that moved all around the cover and opened their mouths in a scream of pain. It was obvious that they suffered. The book's color was red.
No, it's not red. It's crimson. A color of blood! the leader of cultists – Oculmust – realized, watching the artifact that the great spirit had gifted him.
Suddenly the book fell in his arms. Oculmust realized that this book was made of the souls of those demihumans that his followers had tortured earlier.
The leader smiled. He had never thought that Phantom_Lord_of_Void – Sage among the great spirits - would understand and support his cult.
Oculmust could feel those souls in this book. He could feel their hate, pain, suffer, and a desire to revenge.
“Great spirit, thank you for your precious gift!” the cultist opened the book, feeling how much those souls hated him. It brought him a lot of pleasure.
Oculmust saw a text where was described a teaching of the great spirit. It was hard to read, because the cultist could experience negative aura of the book constantly.
[will,independence,wisdom,knowledge,composure,moderation,determination,caution, cleverness,decisiveness,foresight,proactiveness, open-thinking these are the things that will lead to the path of ascendance. arrogance, passivity, reactiveness, indecision, stagnation, apathy, ignorance, narrow-thinking these all lead to death. all desires lead to path of ascendance, if you wish to be the greatest swordsman or the greatest sorceror, following this path will lead you to there and beyond for there is no peak in the path of ascendance. In order to do this one must obtain mastery over their self and will and find out what they want in life, never let go of your will and self you'll become a slave if you do that, never become a slave, become the master of your own destiny. one must seek all the necessary knowledge and skills in life in order to reach their goals and use it to your advantage effectively.One must put in the most effective and necessary rigorous effort in order to achieve one's goals. One must learn from conflict, doubt and mistakes in order to grow strong and improve. remember to not get too comfortable, comfort can east the mind,yes, but one must always be thinking of the next step, danger and oppurtunity or else your potential enemies will strike you dead. remember to keep a journal to pass down your knowledge to future disciples. accept those seek the path of ascendence. and remember that this is not a religion, it is a school. that you are not followers or slaves, you are disciples. that i am not your master or lord, i am your teacher.you can be good,evil and neutral as all lead to the path of ascendance. remember your life is the most important thing to you and there is nothing to gain from death. Now go forth, disciples, the world is yours for the taking. and consider these teachings well and if you don't want them pass it down to someone who does.]

The man couldn't focus on what was written in the book properly. He could only experience those negative feelings. It's a wonderful gift to me and my people!
He closed the book, gasping and feeling as his heart beats fast.
“The world is yours for taking,” Oculmust repeated and smiled. “Good words, great teacher.”
The leader of cultists stood up and turned to his followers. He showed them the book.
“This is a great gift from the great spirit! Come and see it! Feel its aura! The great spirits are pleased with us! This is their sign!”
The people cheered.
“We will sacrifice more in the future as a sign of our gratitude to the great spirits!” their leader concluded happily, holding the crimson book in his stretched arms. “Great spirits are our teachers!”
[Now you can write in the book what you want]

Meanwhile, in Turera
Poonkey ran down the street, hearing as the inquisitors pursued him. The cat realized what he must do now. Therefore, Poonkey stopped unexpectedly and turned around.
The inquisitors halted. Now two sides stood in front of each other.
“Do you decide to surrender, great sinner?!”
Poonkey attacked them with his ultra adorable “Meaowwwwww!” attack. It was so cute that even the inquisitors couldn't withstood it.
“Oh, what a cute cat!”
“It's so lovely!”
“Is it even possible to want to harm this adorable little thing?!”
“Woof! He is so good! Woof! I want to lick his belly! Woof!”
“Meow!” Poonkey was satisfied. He turned around and ran away.
The choices only for Poonkey.
[I will find Nameless! That fool human needs my cuteness and wisdom!]
[I will go to find some milk and fish!]
Or your choice
~~~~~~
Meanwhile, in the inn “Dancing Donkey”

Nameless heard a whisper. [the mask is temporary. If you join them they will soon know of your deception. also, the inquisitors hunting you track you based on scent, and are currently distracted by Poonkey. If you wish to have him owe you a favour, or to flee, now would be the time to act.]
But it was too late to warn him. The man's face began to melt. It shocked two girls.
“Hey, what's happening with your face, Elsa?!” they exclaimed together.
“I... I need to go!” Nameless stood up and limped to the exit. Ah, damn! My leg!
“Hey, stop! Elsa, what's happening with you?!”
But the man didn't hear the girls. Now he was out of the inn. His face turned to its original form. Nameless wasn't Elsa anymore.
“Hey! Who are you?!” he heard as two sisters exclaimed again, standing next to him.
“It was some kind of magic! You have fooled us! We thought you were a beautiful woman! Pervert!”
“No, I...”
“We had even invited you to the “Pink rose”! You are too shameless! We don't want to see you anymore!”
The twin sisters turned around and left Nameless.
The man shrugged and muttered. “Okay.”
He limped along the street, feeling as his leg was getting better and better. That was good!
Am I being hunted by the inquisitors? That's because I've drunken up that flask? It doesn't matter, but I must be careful. I don't want to be caught by them.
The human halted and looked around. Some people moved along the street. The unrest didn't touch this part of the city. I need to find a place to rest.
Nameless resumed a movement and soon he heard those voices.
[Come in the inn! You have money! Take some rest!]
[Find Poonkey! He must be scared! The inquisitors are hunting him down!]
[Sewer is the best place for rest!]
[Find those twin sisters and try to explain them what's happening with you! Perhaps, they will help you!]
