[QUOTE="Isklexi, post: 6864246, member: 6684948"] [b]Heir to the Burning Mountain[/b] Rai chose to meet Calaphax at the devil’s own manor in North Shore. [sblock]Cal immediately asked Rai what question he had asked of the Akashic Orb. Rai told him, and Cal quickly scoffed at his choice. He told Rai that the only path to peace was power. Only unparalleled power would allow a person to protect anyone they care for by annihilating anyone that opposes them. To illustrate his point, Cal told Rai a story. Once there was a kingdom blessed by the gods with sacred protectors. The people of this kingdom know only peace. One day, a terrible monster fell from the skies, a creature called Vezzuvu the Burning Mountain. The kingdom’s protectors weren’t strong enough to stop the monster, and the people prayed day and night for salvation. Eventually, the gods intervened and vanquished the beast, but the kingdom and its entire population were already dead. The moral of the story is that you can’t depend on someone else to protect you. The only way to stop monsters from taking everything you care about is to be the biggest monster yourself. Cal revealed that the story was true and had happened on Lanjyr long ago during the Dawn War between the gods and primordials. Vezzuvu had been a primordial bent on wiping out all mortal life. Rai rebutted that he didn’t intend to become a monster at all. Cal chuckled and told him he didn’t have a choice. Rai’s elemental power was the legacy left behind by Vezzuvu; when it died on Lanjyr, Vezzuvu’s essence seeped into the land and was kept dormant until now. Rai would inherit all of Vezzuvu’s power in time. Cal told Rai that he should give serious thought to how he would wield this power because it was his inheritance whether he wanted it or not.
