This is late. I tried to get it done sooner, but had to set up about half a dozen orders of chicken and roast pork for various members of my extended family with insane lines. Hopefully picking it up later today won't take anywhere near as long >.>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the white light around Garnet began to weaken, she began to regain her sight. She was no longer in a dark cave. Instead, it was a forest with trees that reached up into the sky. Light seeped through the trees from the foliage. As she looked down, she saw that she was in the middle of a four way intersection on a path. The predominant sounds were the rustling of leaves as the wind blew against them and the sound of birds chirping. It was almost peaceful. As she looked around, the man with chains was no longer in sight. "Where are you?" she asked.
There was no response. Garnet was alone. RUSTLE. There was the sound of something moving behind the trees near her. "Who's there?" shouted Garnet.
"Relax, I'm not your enemy," said a feminine voice. "I'm here to oversee your second test."
From behind the trees and brushes, a young woman stepped forward. She was wearing the same spotted clothes as the man from before. She looked very similar to the man except that she was maybe an inch or two shorter and had curves where the man did not before. She kind of looked like Garnet before Garnet absorbed the Siren into her body. These were the only clues that Garnet had, but it was not enough to go on. She still did not recognize the person in front of her.
"Who are you?" asked Garnet.
"I'm the one who will observe your test," said the woman. "Do you know who I am yet?"
"No," said Garnet. "I'm even more confused."
"You should know that your form is not something that is fixed," said the woman. "You can change the way you appear as well can you not?"
Garnet already had two transformations. This person was also capable of transforming, so it was even harder for Garnet to figure out who he or she was. It could have been anyone that she met before. "Can you give me any hints or clues?" Garnet asked.
"Like I said before, I cannot without you failing this test," said the woman.
"Why is your identity so important?" asked Garnet.
"An identity is how you see yourself and how you feel about yourself," said the woman.
"So what do I have to do here?" asked Garnet.
"This is a test of character," said the woman. "In this forest, there are numerous creatures, but only one is evil. You have to find that one."
"How will I know which one is evil?" asked Garnet.
"That's for you to find out," said the woman. "If you kill a creature that is not evil, then you fail this test."
Garnet would have to find a way to see if whether a creature was good or evil before she could kill it. In the past, the enemy was always clear, it was the one trying to kill her as well, but trying to find an evil creature in a forest was near impossible. After all, nearly everything could try to kill her for different reasons. She might be stepping on a creature's hunting ground, a creature could attack her to defend its home, or the creatures could just be fighting each other because one of them is a predator.
"I'll be watching you," said the woman as she flew into the sky.
The personality of the woman was also different from the man's. This woman was straight and to the point. She did not say more than she had to, making it even harder for Garnet to try to figure out who he or she was. "One thing at a time," thought Garnet. She needed to focus on finding the evil creature in the forest.
There was minimal light in the forest, but it was still better than where she was before. At least she could see things in here and her Night Vision skill allowed her to see everything clearly still. It was almost as if the other place purposely inhibited her senses. "Flight!" The spell did not activate.
"Are my spells being limited here too?" Garnet asked.
"Yes," said the woman. "We don't want you to accidentally shoot up the forest you know."
"What spells can I use then?" Garnet asked.
"The same ones as before," said the woman.
"Fire Bolt!" Garnet tried a basic spell. The spell began to dissipate as it went further away from her body. She was again limited to her close range palm and hand to hand skills. The Mana Armor was enough though. As long as the woman did not send anything crazy, Garnet would be fine.
Garnet just chose a random direction and began to walk. At the next spot, there was another four way intersection. Garnet crouched down and tried to scratch something into the dirt, but it was solid. There was no way for her to mark where she had been. She tried to mark the tree next to her. There was no mark either. It was impossible for her to leave anything to see where she had been. The forest itself was most likely a maze of some kind.
With no other option, Garnet continued forward, counting the number of intersections she crossed. After the fifth one, there was something. In front of the cave slept a boar. "Is this the evil creature?" Garnet thought. "No, it can't be that easy. There has to be a way to find out."
Name: Spirit Boar
Level: 20
Class: Spirit
Sub-class: Beast
Stats: ?????
Using her ability to see the stats of the creature did not help. Garnet had to find another way to see whether the boar was the evil creature or not. She decided to get closer.
SNORT. The boar begin to sniff very loudly. Garnet stopped moving and looked at the boar. SNORT. The boar continued sniffing and moved its head around. It was already too late, it had sniffed out Garnet.
SQUEAL. The boar made a loud noise as it charged straight for Garnet. BANG. It crashed straight against Garnet, but her Mana Armor protected her from the strike and only drained a tiny amount of her mana. The boar repeatedly smash its head against Garnet's Mana Armor.
Garnet started to run backwards. She could not kill the boar without knowing if it was the evil one in the forest. She decided not to take any risk at all and just continued to run. As Garnet made her way back to the forest path, the boar slowed down and Garnet gained distance on it. When she finally turned around, the boar had stopped.
Garnet looked at the boar and the boar looked right back at her. The boar slowly turned around and headed back to the cave. It was not trying to kill Garnet. It was simply protecting its territory. Once Garnet moved out of the territory, it left her alone. The boar was not the evil creature in the forest or at least, it did not seem like it.
Garnet decided to turn back and check out each of the other intersections of the forest. Each one seemed to be inhabited by different animals. There was a pack of wolves near part of the forest that had numerous rocks about.
Name: Spirit Wolf
Level: 20
Class: Spirit
Sub-class: Beast
Stats: ???
Most of them were sleeping and it did not seem like they were doing anything. Garnet decided not to approach them considering what happened with the boar. A pack of wolves would be far worse. One by one, Garnet checked different areas of the forest. There were other animals such as squirrels, bears, foxes, and numerous small insects. The problem was that none of them were more aggressive than a normal version of that creature. It was impossible to determine which one was evil.
Rather than wander around aimlessly, Garnet decided to sit and think about it. She looked up into the sky and stared into the trees.
"Give up yet?" asked the woman. She was sitting right next to Garnet.
"Where did you come from?!?" shouted Garnet.
"I was just watching," said the woman. "Do you give up?"
"No," said Garnet. "I'm thinking."
"Call me if you give up and I'll let you out," said the woman as she flew backwards into the trees. She was gone again.
There had to be a clue, but Garnet did not know what it was. Some of the creatures were predators that hunted other creatures, but that lone did not make them evil. They were just doing what was necessary to survive. The same could be said for the boar that defended its cave or the ants that protected their home. Just because they killed other creatures does not necessarily make them evil.
But, according to the woman's words, there was definitely something evil in the forest. Garnet just had to find out what it was. Garnet continued to make her way through all of the intersections of the forest. Each part of the forest seemed to be inhabited by different creatures.
In the very last intersection was a long path. Garnet followed the path to a large tree that reached higher than the rest of the ones she had seen. At the base of the tree were two chipmunks that had collected nuts and ran up the side of the tree. A pair of birds flew up high into the branches. At the very base of the tree was a large black bear.
Name: Spirit Bear
Level: 20
Class: Spirit
Sub-Class: Beast
Stats: ???
There was nothing special about the bear either. This part of the forest was only a little different because there were multiple types of creatures that shared a single habitat, a tree. Other than that though, there was nothing special about it. Nothing that would direct Garnet to find what was evil in the forest. The forest was a perfect vision of nature that had been undisturbed for who knows how long.
"Undisturbed?" thought Garnet. That was not correct. There was something that disturbed the habitat, it was Garnet. She was the one that was introduced recently and her presence would alter the relationship dynamic because she was a foreign living creature. In addition, she was the one that went around looking for something to kill in order to disrupt the balance. In other words, the evil that Garnet was looking for, was herself.
"I have the answer," said Garnet.
The woman flew down from the sky. "What is your answer?" she asked.
"I am the evil in the forest," said Garnet.
"Why do you say that?" asked the woman.
"The creatures in here were peacefully co-existing," said Garnet. "When I came in here, I disrupted the natural order and changed it by attacking the boar."
"So what can you do to fix it?" asked the woman.
"By leaving, so take me out of here," said Garnet.
"That is the correct answer," said the woman. "Remember that not everything that is aggressive towards you is evil. Because of your personality, you may lose sight of that and forget."
"I won't," said Garnet.
"You've passed the second test," said the woman. "Are you ready for your last one?"
"Yes," said Garnet.
"Very well," said the woman. She released a bright flash of light again.
When the light cleared, Garnet was standing in the darkness once more. Again, she could not see anything. "Where are you?" she asked. There was no answer.
CLICK. A blue flame lit up at Garnet's side. Several more flames begin to light up, creating a path straight ahead. VWOOM. A strong gust of wind flew through the area, lighting up the rest of the flames as far as Garnet could see. Garnet could still not see far into the darkness, but the flames at least provided a little light. With no other choice, Garnet decided to continue ahead with the path in front of her.
Up ahead, she saw an opening, an end to the tunnel. Behind her was a path like a cave. In front of her was a huge platform surrounded by suits of armor on the ground. It was where she was fighting the Spirit Armors before. This was the deepest part of the cave. It was clearly a trap, but there was no other choice. She either had to go forward or go back.
"You're finally here," said a feminine voice.
Garnet saw from above that a figure descended. She had black hair, a blue eye and a green eye. Her curves was much like Garnet's own.
"You're me?!?" said Garnet.
"That is correct," said the woman. "But not exactly."
The woman raised both of her hands. A blue flame appeared in each hand. CRASH. CRASH. Two wooden poles landed in the wooden platform. When the dust cleared, Garnet saw two people tied in chains attacked to the wooden poles. In the chains were the man and woman from the previous two trials. The woman who looked like Garnet raised her arm and pointed each of the blue flames to one of the two in chains. "One must live, one must die," said the woman. "Which do you choose?"
Garnet was being offered a sadistic choice. She knew neither of them and neither of them seemed like particularly bad people, but one them had to die. "Kill me instead!" shouted Garnet.
"That is not the choice," said the woman. "So they both must die!"
"No!" shouted Garnet. It was too late though, the woman shot the blue fire at both the man and the woman. BANG. Where the two stood was now just large blue flames. "No..." cried Garnet as she fell to her knees.
There was something on Garnet's shoulders. She looked over and saw the man from before. "How?" asked Garnet.
"This was your last test," said the man. "I wanted to see how you would react if you were offered a sadistic choice."
"Why?" asked Garnet.
"A Hero is more than just strength," said the woman with black hair. "There may come a day when you have to make such a choice, but you offered yourself without much hesitation."
"What is the point of all of this?" asked Garnet. "Why ask me who you are? Why have me fight against endless hordes of enemies only to have me try to find something that does not exist?"
"Nothing is ever as simple as it seems," said the woman who looked like Garnet. "Do you recognize us now?"
"No," said Garnet.
"Line up!" said the woman with black hair.
The three of them lined up. The feminine looking man was on the left. The woman who looked like Garnet was in the middle. To the right was the woman with long black hair who looked like the man. "Do you recognize us now?" asked the woman with black hair.
"No," said Garnet. "The middle person looks like me, but the man to the left and you, I have no clue."
"Are you sure about that?" asked the woman who looked like Garnet. "Don't you know someone who went through this?"
"Someone who went through this?" Garnet repeated. Someone who was a man, then became Garnet, then became a woman.
"Riley?" asked Garnet.
"Correct," said the woman with black hair. The other two figures disappeared.
Garnet hugged her. "You're okay," said Garnet. "I had thought about you, but I did not know what happened to you."
"I became part of you here and was supplying you with mana for a while," said Riley. "When it stopped, I could move freely on my own."
"Why did you do all of this?" asked Garnet.
"I received a message to put you through this trial," said Riley.
"From who?" asked Garnet.
"He gave no name, but said it would be something that would help you," Riley explained. "I was told to present you with this test to determine whether you are truly worthy of the power of a Hero."
"Why?" asked Garnet. None of this made any sense to her.
"A Hero is supposed to represent the embodiment of all that is good," said Riley. "While you have the power, your methods and behavior so far is not anywhere near the embodiment of good, so the voice wanted to be sure that you had not strayed from the path of a Hero."
"What about you though?" Garnet asked. "Why did you agree to such a thing?"
"It's not like I have anything else better to do," said Riley. "I spent a lot of time thinking about it, but I didn't know what I should do, so when I saw some of the things you did to King Arnold's men, I decided that it was necessary to test you. That is why I decided to test you."
"But aren't you a man?" asked Garnet as she looked at Riley.
"Did you forget what happened to me?" asked Riley.
"You were losing your memories," said Garnet.
"Your memories replaced some of mine," said Riley. "And apparently, this is now how I see myself now," said Riley as she tossed her hair backwards and gave Garnet a seductive look. It was something that Garnet used to do to her clients.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Garnet looked at Riley. She looked a little like Garnet, especially her physique, but had long black hair and brown eyes that resembled Riley instead. In fact, this one would probably be what a daughter between Garnet and the male Riley would look like if she grew up. Even though Riley was a man, it was clear that this one knew how to act like either or maybe even Garnet herself.
"I wish I could remember more about my old life though," said Riley. "I have some visions of it, but it is worse than knowing nothing."
"There's one thing," said Garnet. Garnet opened her Inventory and took out a pile of papers. "Do you remember this?" asked Garnet.
"Only a little," said Riley. "I rushed to write down what I could before I lost control."
"Take them, maybe it will help," said Garnet.
"Thank you," said Riley as she looked through them. Garnet saw there were some tears in Riley's eyes.
"Is there anything that you can remember?" asked Garnet.
"There was someone who was very important in my previous life," said Riley. "I had someone in my school who helped take care of me. She was someone very important, but I cannot remember her face or name."
"Was she your wife or girlfriend?" asked Garnet.
"I don't know," said Riley. "I saw a nameless and faceless person who was frequently there with me, but that's all I can remember. I can't remember much of anything else, such as things I studied about."
Garnet had taken those memories from Riley. The Hero Summoning was not something that simply called forth someone from another world, it exploited them, using the summoned person as a prisoner and taking important knowledge from them. Garnet wanted to help Riley recover her body and her memories, but the question was how such a thing would be possible.
There was one thing that Garnet wanted to know for sure. "Is it still possible to bring you back?" asked Garnet.
"Of course," said Riley. "You just need to gather the ingredients, make a body for me, then place me inside of it."
"No progress on that end though," said Garnet.
"It's alright," said Riley. "You have all the time in the world once you face the Invasion."
That reminded Garnet. She was doing this test in order to prepare for the Invasion. "Wasn't this test also supposed to give me skills?" asked Garnet.
"Oh right," said Riley. "I forgot about it. Congratulations!"

Completing the Mastery Exam gave enormous changes to skills and greatly increased Garnet's overall stats. "I promise I will find you a new body," said Garnet. "Will I be able to see you again?"
"In a while," said Riley. "I was told there was a temporary solution. It's not a good idea to mess around your mana resevoir too much, so I do not recommend you try to come in here again unless its for another Class Change."
"How will I put you inside the body though?" asked Garnet. Making a body was going to be hard enough. Being able to put an entire consciousness into the body was something different altogether.
"I have no idea," said Riley. "But there's supposed to be a way to put a spirit inside a crafted vessel."
"Who told you about a temporary solution?" asked Garnet.
"The Hero System did," said Riley. "It spoke to me."
"How?" asked Garnet. "I only get those messages that tell me when my skills level up."
"I just hear a voice in here sometimes," said Riley. "It told me that I should follow its instructions if I wanted to get a chance to move around, though I will be bound to you until you restore my body."
The Hero System was guiding both Garnet and Riley towards something, but they did not know what. Garnet was granted power and some of Riley's memories, mostly his knowledge. Yet at the same time, it did not want Riley to disappear. Instead, it wanted Riley to become something greater. There was a chance that the Hero System itself was something sentient.
"Can it tell me how to stop those Invasions?" asked Garnet.
"I don't know how to stop it, I only know where they come from," said Riley. "The next one is already unavoidable, so even if you know how, there's nothing to stop it. All I can say is, just wait until after the first Invasion is over."
Garnet's vision was starting to fade to black. Her time was up for now.
"Alright," said Garnet. "Until we meet again." She could see Riley waving to him before it all turned back.
Suddenly, Garnet's vision turned completely white before her vision returned. When it cleared, she was laying in a bed in Zedd's Workshop and looking at the roof. She was not in the room where Zedd had begun the Mastery Exam. "Ow," cried Garnet as she tried to move. She felt a massive headache.
"Try not to move," said Zedd. "You took a pretty bad fall."
"What happened?" asked Garnet.
"I activated the spell, but something messed it up," said Zedd. "You collapsed and I brought you here."
"How long was I out for?" asked Garnet.
"About a week," said Zedd.
"A week?!?" shouted Garnet. She was normally only out for hours. Even that was considered a problem, but a week should have resulted in some serious problems. She looked at her stats. Her mana was no longer filling to maximum. Riley was draining away at it.
"I'm sorry," said Zedd. "I messed up the spell somehow."
"You didn't," said Garnet. "Someone intentionally changed your spell."
"That's not possible," said Zedd. "I drew the magic circles precisely and even checked it multiple times. No one from the outside could have interfered with it either."
"Yes, but someone from the inside interfered with it," said Garnet.
"You did?" said Zedd. "Why?"
"It wasn't intentional, but it was done by the Hero System for a purpose," said Garnet. "And, it also fulfilled the same purpose, I got new skills and abilities as well."
"I guess it ended well," said Zedd.
"I saw Riley in there," said Garnet.
"That is because he was used as a catalyst for the Hero System to increase your power," said Zedd. "But that's a good sign if there's enough of him left to be conscious, it means that bringing him back is as easy as removing him from there and putting him into a new body."
"Do you know how to create a human vessel?" Garnet asked.
"Sadly, I do not," said Zedd. "That was one of the technqiues I sought after, but I was never able to find it because it was being guarded."
"Guarded?" asked Garnet. "Someone is guarding it?"
"Deep within the ruins of Constantinople remains a powerful spirit that is protecting its most valuable items," said Zedd. "I believe the secrets of that technique is in there, but I could not even get close. Every time I did, a figure made out of water would approach me."
"Could you not defeat it?" Garnet asked.
"No matter how much I tried, it would regenerate," said Zedd. "I retreated when it froze my arms because I knew that I could not defeat it myself."
Within Constantinople was something even more powerful than Zedd, and Garnet would need to find a way through it to reach what she was looking for. But Garnet needed to deal with the Invasion first. Only then could see think about Constantinople.
Garnet remembered that Riley was borrowing her power as well. In the corner of her eye, she saw that her mana was capped at a quarter of its full value. Riley was taking the rest to make herself into a spirit that was bound to Garnet's body.
"What else can you tell me about the Hero System?" asked Garnet. "I know you did not tell me everything last time."
"It's a long story, but I'll tell you what little I know," said Zedd. "It starts thousands of years ago with a man named Huangdi."
