Aaron distributed his ability points as he saw fit then looked at his armor window.
Enae's ArmorDurability150/150 totalDefense54ArmorHeavyClassUltimate RareAbilitiesEnae was once the peace keeper of the gods along with five other goddesses to keep the the balance between the forces of the dark and light. Enae's armor was created from Mitheral and a rare forgotten metal of the gods along with part of Enae's flesh. This Armor was first worn by Enae and has now been passed down to her chosen. This armor Levels and evolves with the wearer. The wearer will also take the form of the goddess in combat and at randomevelutionNoneLevel53
Enae, “The armor will level and adapt to how you use it.”
Aaron, “That is a nice feature but what else can you tell me?”
Enae, “With time I could teach you a number of abilities but right now we do not have the time. If you open the book you found with the ancient sword rune on it you can quickly gain some basic sword forms from the first chapter.”
Aaron grabbed out the book and quickly flipped through the first chapter.
You have learned Enae’s sword form!
This sword form uses a mix of speed, precision, and strength in ways unheard of [adds +6 Agility, and +6 strength]
You have learned Enae’s Twin blades!
You can make two attacks at once with a sword; due to Duel wielding causes four attacks at once if properly used. [costs 100 mana]
You have learned whirlwind!
You rapidly spin doing double damage for a full 360 attack [costs 200 mana]
Aaron, “Enae do you know a way out of here?”
Enae, “There where three entrances but two are now sealed. There is only the teleportation room left that we can use to get out of here as long as there is still one of my temples or shrines still out there.”
Aaron, “May assume that the Teleportation room is back down the hall?”
Enae, “yes that is correct it is down the hall to the left in the second room on your left.”
Aaron groaned shaking his head.
Aaron, “there is an army of undead out there… do you have any plans on how we can make it there.”
Enae, “I am guessing that those undead where resurrected through a trap that activates when anyone enters. It must have been created by one of the old dark gods that attacked and sealed me. Also I think the only thing we can do is just fight through them.”
Aaron, “well it’s a good a plan as anything even though it really is not a plan at all. May I also grab some other items in this room to help with our journey.”
Enae, “that is fine since I have not had a use for them in a millennia.”
As Aaron began walking back through the room he grabbed as much of the gold and offerings as he could before heading back to the fallen statue. While he was walking his body began to glow and change shape he stopped as he began to lose his balance. When the light finally diapered he was no longer himself let alone a male.
Aaron, “what is this? Did you do this to me Enae?!”
Enae, “As I told you, you are my vessel and it was also an effect of the armor that you will take my form during combat and at random.”
Aaron, “just great!”
Aaron now had some large breasts and a bubble butt (lol). His skin became dark tanned and his hair had grown out to bellow his shoulders along with turning a crimson red. He also gained a few inches in height. Besides the changes to his body his armor has also changed to fit with it. The helmet has now become a circlet or crown, the chest piece had also changed to expose the top of the breasts but the rest of the armor still retained its plate maell style and protection.
Aaron, “great now I’m going to half to get used to this… oh wait what is everyone going to think about me when they find out?!”
Enae, “Why so down? either way you look good as a man or a woman.”
She began to laugh inside his head.
Aaron, “what ever I’ve wasted enough time we need to get out of here.”
Aaron exited the room and climbed up the fallen statue. The undead where about half way up the statue by the time he looked out over the room. The space in the room was filling up rapidly.
God there is a lot of them.
Enae, “which god are you talking to you know I’m right here and my names Enae got it Enae.”
Aaron, “yes, yes I got it. I just need to get used to this and why am I talking to you about this?!”
Aaron looked around the room and looked at the statue just to his right. They where all damaged enough that putting pressure in the right spot should cause them to fall.
Aaron, “sorry Enae but I’m going to have to make this place a bigger mess.”
Enae, “This place is already falling apart don’t worry about it but those other five statues are not of me but of the other five that stood with me… well I can tell you more about that later.”
Aaron began to climb the back of the statue until he got up between its shoulder blades. He pressed his back against the wall and push with his legs against the statue as hard as he could. It was not budging but he could hear the statue beginning to crack. Slowly the sound grew and the statue began to fall forward towards the center of the room. With one last push he was no longer against the wall and was falling with the statue. He grabbed on for dear life screaming with his new woman’s voice out of thrill and fear.
You have leveled up!
You have earned +2 strength
You have learned Shout!
When shout is used all enemy’s are stunned unless they pass a resistance check.
The statue landed crushing dozens of the undead and sending more flying into the walls or down the hall. Slowly as the dust began to settle Aaron got up and ran across the statue jumping off its head landing on some of the undead’s heads using them as stepping stones to get a third of the way down the hall with his momentum until there was to large a gap.
He landed and activated Whirlwind causing a few of the undead to disintegrate or be sent flying back into the other undead. Aaron continued to slash and hack his way forward through the undead not worrying about those behind him. With every four or five killed he took a hit. Soon he was almost at the intersection so he used whirlwind again to get a short pause he used two health potions and a mana potion to max them out.
Aaron then continued forward hacking at more of them until he noticed there was a large gap causing paused as he stared at an undead troll right in front of him. He quickly jumped back as the toll slammed its club against the ground a little to his left. He then ran forward as the troll was starting to lift its club jumping on it running up towards its head. He jumped as the troll tried to grab him with its other arm pushing off the wall to land on its shoulder.
Aaron then activated His twin blades ability while attacking the back of its neck dropping its health to about half. He then jumped backwards stabbing his two blades into its back while falling. While he had been attacking its neck the troll had tried to raise its club to hit him but missed and hit the back of its own head causing it to fall to the ground.
Aaron landing on its back continued to hack away at it until it disintegrated into loot. He quickly grabbed what loot he could before facing an oncoming undead.
You have leveled up!
Aaron, “what a wonderful day I’m leveling up like crazy.”
Enae, “it looks to me like you are being reckless.”
Aaron, “well I am still learning.”
Enae, “well I could teach you a number of things… Get down!”
Aaron jumped to the ground as a fireball came flying at him. He rolled and jumped to face the one who had sent it. Standing there where the three stooges with a new look as the undead.
Aaron, “even in death you three are after me! Oh why my luck?!”
Aaron ran towards them ducking under Chiounis’s swing. Coming up on the mage he swung at its legs making it fall forwards while he hacked of its head and preparing to dodge Hercules oncoming attack. Side stepping him Aaron was again facing Chiounis. The Chiounis undead was still raising its sword to bring it down on him so he shoved him into Hercules causing them to fall on top of each other.
Aaron stepped forward hacking at the Chiounis’s joints repeatedly until Hercules got up and charged at him with a long dagger. Using one of his swords Aaron nocked the dagger out of Hercules hand along with taking a few fingers. His other sword stabbed right through Hercules rotting chest. Bringing his other sword up he took a few swings to its neck until its head came off.
As Hercules disappeared Aaron grabbed his loot while walking towards Chiounis that continued to try and rise but could not. Aaron took both his blades to its neck and cut its head cleanly off.
Aaron, “now that’s payback for earlier.”
He hurried and grabbed the loot from Chiounis and Mage before continuing to cut through the undead in the hall. Aaron noticed as he continued on that there were a wide variety of the undead ranging from human’s and elves to Orc’s and goblins. As he reached the intersection he could only see undead down every hall.
“Just great… you said down the left hall right?”
“yes and two rooms down.”
Aaron was about to go left when he spotted a Lich casting a spell. The lich cast a fire spell sending a large fireball that took a form of a dragon. Aaron quickly jumped and rolled down the left hallway the fireball passing him and hitting the few remaining undead that were behind him. Cutting his way through a few more undead he finally reached the second doorway on the hall.
Enae, “here it is hurry get on the circle and repeat the spell I’m about to give you."
Aaron ran to the circle and turned to keep an eye on the undead while he repeated the incantation that Enae was using. The undead where beginning to close in on the circle when it began to activate and his surroundings became disorientating.
He was soon standing on another circle surrounded by emptiness besides Enae who was standing just outside the circle.
Enae, “hello Aaron it’s nice to finally meet you face to face though this is only a remnant of my former self, Oh and welcome to my domain.”
Chapter 7 What’s Next?
Aaron slowly looked back around once again to process a few thoughts and noticed he was once again himself.
Aaron, “Sure is a sad domain to have with there being nothing around here.”
Enae looked sad after hearing that looking down at the ground before speaking.
Enae, “I have lost much since I was sealed away. Well for now this place can once again become something thanks to you. “
You have been given partial control over Enae’s Domain!
After that message popped up he opened a new control panel from his menu. Many of the controls where blocked or he did not have enough Faith to use or purchase them. He noticed he could still create a basic lobby area still so he selected it and his surroundings began to change.
They both watched, as the area around them became a cross between a courtyard and Garden.
Enae, “Ah it’s a nice change from those old ruins.”
Enae walked over to a bush and crouched down to cup a flower in her hand. She slowly sniffed it then plucking it as she got up.
Enae, “This was once my favorite flower. It was once named after me but alas they are almost extinct and have been given a new name.”
Aaron slowly walked over to her as she turned to him.
Aaron, “that is a beautiful flower suited for a goddess such as yourself.”
She gave a soft laugh.
Enae, “Thanks, though we should get on our way.”
Aaron, “why is that, I would like to rest for a bit after a long fight like that.”
Enae shook her head, “this world has not fully materialized yet and can not truly affect the mortal realms. “
Aaron, “alright so where shall we go for now then?”
Enae, “I have found that one of my temples still has a connection to my domain. We can use the teleportation circle to get there.”
Aaron, “well when ever you are ready we can head out.”
They walked over to the Circle again and began to recite the teleportation spell. Soon they where once again surrounded by light.
Once the light was gone Aaron looked around to see their new location. He was once again in Enae’s form. Looking around he seemed to be in a small temple standing in front of Enae’s statue. As he continued to turn he saw five priests and priestesses standing nearby starring at him with their mouths agape. Three of them seemed to be elders while the other two seemed to be in their early twenty’s.
Aaron, “Um hello sorry to disturb you.”
The elders quickly walked forward and gave him a bow.
Elder priestess, “It is an honor to be in your presence great one.”
First Elder Priest, “ have you finally come to answer our prayers.”
Aaron felt nerves and took a step back but stopped before he ran into the statue.
Aaron, “I’m sorry I am not Enae Elders though I am her Chosen.”
Second Priest, “Ah so another one of our six gods have returned to us in their chosen vassals.”
Aaron, “What do you mean by another are there others out there like me?”
Second Priest, “Yes there is other chosen though we only know of one that is in the area. She was also chosen at birth and grew to look just like the goddess that has chosen her.”
[Enae, “Aaron we must gather the others together as soon as possible. If the Priest is correct we are all in a weakened state and can be destroyed by any of the current ruling gods.”]
[Aaron, “I will search for them I promise Enae.”]
Aaron, “Is there a way to meet with her soon?”
Elder Priestess, “We will try to send word to her but times as of late have been very dangers to adventure out beyond our walls.”
Aaron, “Then if it’s possible can you tell me about the area and if there is anything I can do to help out around here.”
First Priest, “we would be very honored to receive your help. If you would like we could have one of our young clerics in Training to help you while you are in town.”
Aaron, “I would appreciate it elders, thank you.”
As Aaron finished talking he began to glow again and turn back into himself.
Aaron, “ah its nice to back to my old self.”
Elder Priestess, “Ah, you are certainly different from the other chosen. You also seem to look like one of Enae’s old right hands that is described in her old teachings.”
Aaron paused at that and was confused. The elders waved one of the priestesses over from the group of people that have been gathering. She quickly stepped forward and listened to the elders before bowing and walking up to Aaron.
As she bowed she said, “The elders have instructed me to help you in any way I can while you are in town.”
Aaron, “Thank you. Ah can you tell me about this area and show me around?”
Priestess, “I would gladly help you great one.”
Aaron rubbed the back of his head.
Aaron, “You can just call me Aaron.”
Priestess, “As you wish… Aaron.”
Aaron, “May I know your name?”
Priestess, “Oh sorry I did not introduce myself. My name Is April… April Rosland, I’m one of the Clerics in training here at the temple.”
Aaron, “that’s a nice name.”
[Enae, “stop being so formal it’s irritating.”]
[Aaron, “I’m trying to make it a good first meeting without upsetting them.”]
April blushed after he said that.
April, “um right this way Great… Aaron.”
They slowly walked out of the temple as she talked about the area. They where one of many small towns on one of the Islands somewhere called the Deathly Isles. This region really did not have any form of government or country and was made up of multiple outcast groups of the continents countries and races.
Before the exited the temple she grabbed a map from one of the tables and handed it to him. She pointed to an Island off the to the south west of the main landmass making up the deathly Isles saying that that was where they currently were. There were a number of villages and towns on the Island along with one coastal city.
After that they left the temple and walked around town. The town had a few stores, a blacksmith, a tavern, but not much else. As they walked around Aaron began to sell most of the loot he got from the tournament and Ruins.
He kept his weapons along with the ones he found. He also kept a belt, his scarf, the ring, and all of his kits and equipment from before the tournament. With that he had managed to earn just over 200 gold coins. He decided to purchase more tools and kits to work on his weapons and to make new Items. He also had all of his equipment repaired that was almost at its limit from the damage that was taken. After that he began to work on all the fetch quests that he could find along with the ones on the towns and temples posting boards.
While he was on his way to deliver an item to the town’s blacksmith he heard some one talking that was not there.
Kevril, “hay Aaron… Aaron are you there.”
Aaron then noticed that Kevril was whispering to him.
Aaron, “Hay how are you guys?
Kevril, “Is that all you have to say we where watching the tournament and you just disappeared. Then after that the whole tournament went to hell with undead rising all over the place. We even tried whispering to you a number of times.”
Aaron, “sorry I’ve just been busy and probably in a none communications zone. Well where to begin… Did you see I fell through a hole that that mage caused.”
Kevril, “yes and that was the last time anyone has seen you.”
Aaron, “Well I feel in to some ruins…”
Aaron continued to explain what had happened to him from in the ruins.
Kevril, “that is just amazing and wait did you just say you where in the deathly Isles?”
Aaron, “yes have you heard of them.”
Kevril, “yes though not much is known about them even from the beta test. All that is known is that it was once the center of three great empires a long time ago but fell in some forgotten war. They also say that the entire region is filled with overpowered monsters. It’s not even a place you can select as a starting area.”
Aaron, “I can understand that, when I went outside the walls to gather some furs a bit ago the lowest level rabbit I could find was at level 14.”
Kevril, “Man you are screwed if the creatures and monsters are comparable to the levels in the heaven’s training grounds or starting towns. Their lowest levels that can be found are at level one.”
Aaron, “That just means I can level up faster instead of looking for a specific level range.”
Aaron finished walking to the blacksmith and handed him the item to finish his quest earning a few silvers and an old hammer.
Kevril, “Well that’s true since you are a monster yourself being able to survive the undead and even all those other times you’ve hunted alone.”
Aaron, “hay I was just lucky all those times!”
Kevril, “Yah well…”
Ali, “Is this thing working… Aaron are you there?”
Aaron gave out an irritated breath and stopped next to the town’s bulletin board.
Aaron, “I’m here Ali.”
Ali, “Kevril just told us a bit ago that you made it.”
Aaron, “yes I’m great and on an Island near the continent in a region called the Deathly Isles.”
Ali, “That sounds like a bad place to be just from the name.”
Kevril, “well talk to you later I’m going to go Let the Instructor and Blacksmith NPCs here know that you are alright since they are worried that you did not come back with the other contestants.”
Aaron, “thanks Kevril talk to you later.”
Ali, “Aaron you still there.”
Aaron, “yes sorry I was just finished talking to Kevril.”
Ali, “well how is it down there on the continent.”
Aaron, “Its nice down here not much different then it was in the Heavenly training grounds.”
Alimore, “that’s nice to hear…”
Marcy, “Hey man I heard you made it!”
Aaron leaned against the posts board while he was listening.
Aaron, “yep, and had a hard time for it.”
Marcy, “at least you lasted longer then the three stooges they where taken out right after you vanished.”
Aaron, “well I’m glad they got what was coming to them even though the undead versions of them where just as irritating as the living.”
Ali, “well I’m going to go now need to work on some homework.”
Aaron, “Later then.”
Marcy, “Well Merlin is off trying to get some last minute things before everyone’s sent to the continent.”
Aaron, “Why are they all being sent to the continent now? I thought the heavenly training grounds was suppose to be the starting location.”
Marcy, “well there has been something going on with the angels and the towns Fouke up here. They are all worried that something’s going to be starting again. Besides that the Game Masters said there was now enough players to fully open up the continent and will have everyone move over there though the Heavenly training grounds can still be accessed in the future though not much is known right now.”
Aaron, “that’s still weird, maybe the event that happened was not expected or was not suppose to happen for a while. “
Marcy, “well who knows. Oh I need to get going sorry.”
Aaron, “later.”
Aaron quickly stood up strait and turned towards the bored but stopped as he noticed April standing next to him giving him a strange look.
April, “Um are you ok Aaron?”
Aaron nodded, “I’m fine I was using a long distance communications spell.”
April looked down for a moment her face blushing, “all right as long as you are ok.”
Aaron turned around to face the board again to see if there was any more low-level quest he could do to raise the intimacy with the NPCs of the town. He didn’t see much left so he looked at the ones to clear the monsters form the area. He accepted a number of them and headed out.
[Enae, “who where those people you where talking to a bit ago?”]
[Aaron, “Oh those where my friends that I meet a while ago.”]
[Enae, “they seemed like interesting people.”]
[Aaron, “yah they are a nice bunch… wait you could hear that discussion.”]
[Enae, “Well of course I did! I am in your head after all.”]
[Aaron, “well I still would like some kind of privacy or is that something that’s impossible to ask for?”]
[Enae, “well that’s hard to say since I can hear anything you think but yes you do have some privacy, though it is fun to listen to what you are thinking.”]
[Aaron, “well thanks.”]
Aaron began to head out of town.
Aaron, “Time to loot, and explore.”
Chapter 8 Forest of Esster
Aaron had finally reached a point on quests in the village besides the ones to travel to the next village. The majority of the quests he performed where fetch, Repair, Healing, and hunting quests. He had earned enough experience to reach Level 62 and even evolve his armor at level 60.

Currently he was in his own form walking to the temple. His armor looked almost the same as before its evolution but had some minor changes. His gantlets now morphed to cover the back of his hands and thicken around his rists and arm. His hands where covered in some fine light malle the same was with the rest of the joints on his body.
[Enae, “This has been a nice stay in the town but we should really find the other chosen.”]
[Aaron, “I’m planning on heading to the next town after speaking with the elders once more.”]
[Enae, “That’s a good Idea we could learn some more about our next stop.”]
Aaron walked into the temple and found April and the elders.
Elders, “Ah Chosen we are grateful for your help.”
Aaron, “ Anything to help those in need.”
Elder Priestess, “Ah so kind of you.”
First Elder, “is there something we could do for you.”
Aaron, “I was planning on heading out to find the chosen you had mentioned before.”
Second Elder, “Ah we have sent a messenger out but he has not returned.”
Aaron, “I will keep an eye out for the messenger on my way to the next village.”
Elder Priestess, “we hope nothing bad has happened.”
You have acquired a new quest!
Aaron, “If I find out anything I will let you know.”
Aaron walked away to meet April that was waiting in the corner by the front door.
April, “I heard you where heading out to the next village.”
Aaron, “Yes I’m going to look for the other chosen that are out there.”
April grabbed something out of a pouch at her side and held it out to Aaron.
April, “I hope this will help you out on your travels.”
Aaron took a large parchment from her hand.
You have received Aprils Map!
Aaron, “This will be most helpful.”
[Enae, “Aaron that is no normal map!]
[Aaron, “what do you mean?”
[Enae, “This map like others has the basic region and city’s on it. But this one changes as to user travels. It adds any site of interest that we visit. It also allows the player to look at areas close up.”]
[Aaron, “How do you know this?”]
[Enae, “I used detect magic on it. I thought this spell had been lost long ago.”]
[Aaron, “that must mean that this is a very valuable thing to have.”]
Aaron looked up from the map to April.
Aaron, “This thing Is incredible! Are you sure you want me to have it?”
April blushed, “I learned how to make them from one of the old books you gave to us. I thought that it could help you find your way back to our village.”
Aaron, “That’s nice of you, I will take good care of it.”
As Aaron was finishing his sentence April Stepped forward and gave a quick kiss on his cheek then hurried off. Aaron just stared at her in a moment of daze.
[Enae, “you got to close to her you moron!”]
[Aaron, “What… that was the first time any girl has done that to me.”]
[Enae, “Moron, idiot!”]
[Aaron, “what was… are you jealous?”]
[Enae, “Of course I’m not…”]
[Aaron, “Oh yes you are.”]
Enae staid silent after that so Aaron walked out of the Temple and headed for the gate saying good bye to some of the villagers he got to know the last couple of days. Once out of the village Aaron looked back.
Aaron, “Man I’m going to miss this place even though I was here for only a short time.”
Enae, “It was a nice town… Aaron if we do not hurry I feel that we are losing needed time.”
Aaron, “Ok, ok I’m moving.”
Aaron continued to walk down the road passing a number of farm fields. Soon he reached the edge of a forest.
You have discovered the forest of Esster!
You will have a week of double experience gain!
Aaron, “sweet I love when I can earn more experience!”
Enae, “be careful the forest has unknown dangers in it.”
Aaron, “True enough and why am I always told that there are unknown dangers or that this and that is dangerous?”
Enae, “its all way’s better to be warned then to find out the hard way.”
Aaron, “True enough.”
Aaron continued on deeper into the forest. Soon he began to see a number of wild life and thought it would be a good idea to earn some extra exp along the way. Soon after that thought he was killing squirrels, rabbits, and birds left and right along with an occasional fox or deer.
While he was picking up some loot he heard a roar from behind him. Aaron quickly jumped to face the cause of it. There stood a massive bear with its lips pulled back in a horrid snarl. In its side was two arrows with fresh blood dripping from their ends.
Aaron stood their thinking he could make a small profit from it when he thought about how it was hurt he put away one of his swords and held a single one in his hands.
Aaron, “come on you ugly beast, Hit me with your best shot!”
[Enae, “you do know that Bears are marvelous creatures.”]
[Aaron, “yes but they are also very deadly.”]
The Bear Roared again charging at him. Aaron ran into the trees on the side of the road dodging the oncoming charge. The beast turned and continued to come at him. Stepping behind a tree Aaron Readied his weapon as the bear was about to pass him. As it came by Aaron sliced into its legs just above the bears elbow.
The bear slowed down greatly but became even more enraged. It turned and came steadily towards him nocking bushes and small trees out of its way.
[Aaron, “Oh great all I did was upset the thing!”]
[Enae, “don’t you think you should be using both your swords.”]
[Aaron, “yes now that its enraged. I thought I could tack it out with one sword but it would be more of a challenge.”]
Aaron pulled out his other sword as the bear began a slower charge. Aaron started to run from it noticing a large tree ahead of him. He headed straight towards it as the bear continued to get closer. When he got to the tree he did not slow down and tried to run up it but failed miserably still managing to get above the bear. It ran into the tree as Aaron crashed on to its back. He quickly started to stab into it repeatedly until it started to try and throw him from its back. Keeping one of his blades in its back, as he continued to stab and slice at it with the other blade.
As he was counting to attack its back it slammed into a tree and nocked him off. He quickly jumped to his fee with only one sword in his hand while the other was still stuck in its back.
[Aaron, “great I’m back to where I started. Enae do you have any Ideas.”]
[Enae, “quickly grab out the book with a fire rune on the cover.”]
[Aaron, “Enae I really don’t think it’s a good time to be reading.”]
[Enae, “just do it that book is a fire elemental spell book.”]
Aaron quickly grabbed out the spell book and started flipping through the first few pages while weaving his way through the trees so the bear could not get him. After he finished flipping through the basic section of the first chapter two windows popped up.
You have learned the basics of fire magic!
You have learned Fireball!
He quickly stashed his book and turned to face the bear. It was rounding a tree a few feet to his right. Aaron quickly said the required words for the fireball spell. Floating above his hand a black fireball with a white glow formed. He quickly throws it at the bear while jumping to the side.
The fireball struck it square in the face causing in to howl in pain while staggering around blindly. Aaron fired it another three times at the bear and noticed that he was almost out of mana. He stood back as the bear continued to run around in terror while burning away the last of its health and falling to the ground. A moment later it disintegrated into a pile of loot along with dropping his sword that had still been stuck in its back.
Aaron, “that was a close one.”
[Enae, “yes it was you should probably use some herbs to heal a bit.”]
[Aaron, “yes I’ll do that. I think I should probably read more of these books so I can use more ability’s for the proper situations. “]
[Enae, “Stating the obvious.”]
[Aaron, “I didn’t hear you mention anything about it before now!”]
[Enae, “well I also was not thinking about it.”]
[Aaron, “we need to work on strategizing and working together.”]
[Enae, “Another obvious fact but we should probably get moving again for now.”]
Aaron slowly walked forward and picked up his sword, a pelt, some meat and bear claws. He quickly stashed the loot before he began to repair his sword. After he repaired the sword he slowly walked back to the road following the trail of destruction the bear had caused in the fight. As he about reached the road he again changed into Enae’s form.
“Great there it goes again!”
He was beginning to get used to changing back and forth but it was still at very random. He began to walk down the road again heading towards the next town with his hips swaying away back and forth.
Chapter 9 Bandits!!!
Aaron was still walking down the road through Esster forest. He was currently in Enae’s form trying to even walk properly but could not walk the way he used to in his original form and instead had a swaying rhythm with his hips slowly going to the side as he took each step.
Thanks to the evolution the armor had also changed for this form. Similar to his original form the plates have shifted to expose Malle at the joints and hands. What was not like his other form is that his stomach was now exposed.
[Aaron, “Enae I really hate that the stomach is exposed it feels irritating and Its open to direct attack.”]
[Enae, “sorry Aaron but I have no control over the evolution of the armor it automatically changes to suit the wearers style of combat and needs.”]
[Aaron, “but why would it change to not cover the stomach leaving an obvious weak point”]
[Enae, “Its possible that it was meant for a wider range of movement instead of being confined by the armor. Plus that kind of looks sexy on you.”]
[Aaron, “I don’t want sexy! I want to have a proper defense like any other armor.”]
[Enae, “Come on I meant it as a compliment.”]
[Aaron, “Ah what ever, lets just get to the next village to find the Chosen.”]
Enae continued to laugh at Aaron in his embarrassment and irritation.
At that Aaron continued on down the road eventually getting out his bow to shoot some animals for exp and some basic loot. The road continued to weave back and forth as he continued to work his way through the forest. Soon he began to notice that there weren’t any animals and that the forest had grown silent. Aaron slowed a bit putting his bow away and putting his hands on his swords handles.
As he came upon a small clearing he began to think he had made a mistake when he had noticed the signs. As he reached to center of the clearing he heard a branch snap off to his right. In one swift motion he drew out a dagger and threw it at where the sound came from striking a tree that a bandit had stepped out from behind.
Bandit, “Well that wasn’t a nice greeting.”
Aaron, “what do you want?”
Slowly more bandits began to step out from the trees with multiple types of bows readied but not drawn yet.
Sadistic Bandit, “Women really shouldn’t be carrying weapons or be out on their own in the middle of the forest.”
He gave a twisted chuckle.
Aaron said while irritated, “and why is that bastard!”
Sadistic bandit after chuckling again, “woman are only good for sitting on a mans lap and doing anything he wishes of them.”
Aarons face turned bright red with anger while tightening his grip on his swords. One of the bandits at the sadistic bandits side told him to knock it off.
Bandit, “sorry about my companion here he wasn’t raised properly. But where are my manors could we guide you to your destination?”
Aaron, “I’m sorry but I really don’t feel like going anywhere with the likes of you.”
Bandit, “Well then could you please surrender we would not want to harm any valuable goods.”
Sadistic Bandit, “Can I take her first boss I’d love to teach the delicate thing a lesson of manners.”
Bandit, “you can have her all night if you wish but don’t ruff her up to badly.”
[Aaron, “These guys are scum why would anyone treat people like that. Plus I’m not really even a woman!”]
[Enae, “would you like to teach them a lesson for me and all the women out there.”]
[Aaron, “I would gladly do so.”]
Aaron began to cite the fireball spell quietly while taking his hands off his swords.
Bandit, “I take it that means you are surrendering to…”
The bandit could not finish his sentence, as above Aarons hands appeared two fireballs. He quickly through them at the closest bandits while he began to cite the fireball spell once more while running for the closest cover. The bandits quickly started to fire their arrows and bolts at Aaron. Most of them missed while a few bounced off his armor. As he neared the cover one of the arrows pierced his side sending a numbing shock up his body but still managed to get behind cover.
[Enae, “are you alright!?”]
[Aaron, “do you think I’m alright I have an arrow in my side! I told you that the belly being exposed was a weakness.]
Aaron quickly tossed his two new fireballs at the bandits near him then moved deeper into the forest.
[Enae, “when I had the armor I had the same style armor and it wasn’t a weak spot for me.”]
[Aaron, “Well you are a Goddess and more skilled then me.”]
Aaron quickly stepped behind a tree and through on a quick bandage to try and stop the blood and health loss. As he finished he quickly look back behind the tree to see the bandits almost on him again. Using a mana and health potion he quickly started to cite the fireball spell once more. As the fireballs appeared above his hands again he tossed them at the bandits before drawing out his swords.
He ran out as the fireballs struck jumping through the smoke that it caused to land in the middle of the bandits once more. They all came at him with their swords drawn. Aaron quickly blocked the first bandits attack with one sword and used his other sword to strike the mans leg. As the bandit collapsed from the pain Aaron moved on to the next bandit blocking with both his swords.
As he drew his swords back for the next attack he saw the other bandits where to close so he activated Whirlwind striking at all the critical spots he could. A number of them disintegrated to loot while the remaining ones where forced back from the attack.
You have leveled up!
You have leveled up!
Aaron quickly began to attack the bandits one after another either critically wounding them ore killing them on the spot. Soon he was facing the bandit leader one on one. They continued to strike and block each other’s attacks. Aaron knew he could not continue this single fight the way it was so he used twin blades to quickly strike at the bandit’s joints.
Aaron missed his attack on one of the legs and arms but still forced the bandit to the ground. As he was about to finish him off a blade was set against the side of Aarons throat. Stopping where they where Aaron turned slightly to see the sadistic bandit standing there holding the sword.
The bandit gave one of his chuckles again.
Sadistic Bandit, “You are an interesting one. Chu chu chu. I really must have you all to myself.”
The bandit leader slowly got up off the ground with the assistance of one of his companions.
Aaron, “do you really think that I would let you.”
Sadistic Bandit, “I don’t really think that you have a choice in the matter right now.”
Aaron quickly dropped the moment the bandit finished his sentence while raising one of his swords to nock the bandits sword aside. With the bandits sword in an awkward position after the move Aaron quickly kicked the Bandit in the stomach to push get some distance.
The Sadistic Bandit laughed again.
Sadistic Bandit, “I have not had this much fun in years. You will make a perfect little plaything.”
Bandit leader, “We can’t take her as we are right now everyone retreat for now. “
Sadistic Bandit, “what and end my fun…”
Bandit leader, “then would you like to face your brother for disobeying me.”
Sadistic Bandit, “Ah what a poor sport. Well see you another time my plaything.”
Aaron stood there as the remaining few Bandits quickly began to grab their wounded and run away to where ever. As the bandits were soon out of sight Aaron put away his swords and took in a breath and exhaled.
[Enae, “That was a tuff fight, are you ok.” She said in a worried voice.]
[Aaron, “That was worse then the first time I had to fight wolves. “]
[Enae, “well it seems like you are alright. We really do need to learn more skills and spells so we can be able to handle more situations.”]
[Aaron began to pick up the loot from the dead bandits then headed to the clearing where the fight had begun.]
[Aaron, “what book do you think I should read first or do you know a few that you can teach me.”]
[Enae, “I could teach you a few things but I can only do that while we are in my domain. So I think we should try reading a couple of the first chapters in the books we have now.”]
Aaron grabbed his dagger out of the tree and stowed it away again.
Aaron, “well for now I’ll finish reading the fire tombs first chapter.”
Enae, “that is a good plan.”
Aaron began to head down the road once more with a little more sway to his hips then earlier not worrying about how he walked while reading some of the books he had.
While he walked he had a number of windows pop up.

Aaron , “that should do for now but I will still need to learn more.”
[Enae, “Don’t push yourself to far.”]
[Aaron, “I know mother Hen.”]
[Enae, “well someone needs to look out after you.”]
[Aaron, “thanks.”]
Aaron continued to travel through the woods for 2 days changing forms multiple times as he went. Towards the end of the second day he finally arrived at the next town. As he got closer he noticed there was some smoke rising from the town. As he continued to get closer it became easy to tell that there was something going on so he ran forward while in Enae’s form.
As he neared the town gates he noticed that there where no guards and that there where three bodies on the ground. As he got closer they vanished leaving behind some loot. Aaron did not go for the loot since it looked like before they vanished that two of them where guardsman.
New quest Acquired Bandit Raid!
You may either hunt the bandits down and save as many towns folk as you can, or join in the looting and sacking of the town.
Rewards: Unknown
Aaron turned into Enae’s form as he quickly ran through the gate to see people running in panic with a number of bandits running around looting and dragging people. Aaron quickly went for the nearest bandit stabbing one of his blades through the mans back and using the other a moment later to slit his throat. The body quickly disintegrated as he ran to the next bandit continuing the proses again.
He continued to work his way down the street killing one bandit after another until the rest noticed. They quickly began to group and come at him. As they got closer he used a fireball to disorganize them before charging in to the fray. He quickly began to target the joints to either immobilize them or slow them down.
As he blocked the bandit’s swords from both sides he activated whirlwind taking out the whole group due to his build up of his attacks. As he looked for the next bandit a large man came forward with a large war hammer over his shoulder.
Bandit leader, “so someone actually worth a challenge is here, and can you tell me your name so I can know the one who has killed many of my men?”
Aaron, “I am… Enae’s Chosen the keeper of the worlds balance.”
The Bandit laughs, “so another chosen has arrived oh what shall we do… Ha the other ones not even here so the town is easy pickings”
Aaron, “not while I’m around.”
Bandit leader, “oh is that so then I will just have to cower in fear… ha.”
As the bandit was finishing his sentence he swung his hammer down as Aaron jumped back. Aaron was about to go in to attack thinking that the man was slow but he had to duck from the bandit’s next swing. Aaron then quickly moved to his right as the man swung his hammer again. Aaron quickly rolled behind the man as he began his next swing, and quickly jumped up and struck at the mans arms barely even leaving a scratch. The man turned around laughing.
Bandit Leader, “Is this all you’ve got?! My mother can do better then that.”
Aaron quickly cited his new fire blade spell causing his swords to ignite.
Bandit Leader, “oh now this can get interesting. “
The bandit leader began to swing his hammer down at him again. Aaron instead of stepping back he went to the side and struck at the mans side causing third degree burns where his sword struck but still could not pierce the bandits flesh deep enough.
The bandit swung again but missed as Aaron rolled behind the man. Has Aaron began to rise he noticed that the bandit had not finished his swing and was bringing it around while spinning. It struck Aaron in the side throwing him into some barrels on the side of the road causing them to shatter on impact. Aaron slowly got to his feet almost out of breath and spitting up blood.
Bandit leader, “this was almost to easy.”
The bandit leader was coming towards Aaron again raising his weapon for another strike. Aaron quickly sidestepped under the mans arm and used twin blades with all the force he could muster finally piercing deep enough to prevent further use of the mans arm. The bandit using his other arm swung again but slower. Aaron used Shadow step to move behind the man and attack the bandits only good arm. He did not cut deep enough to prevent use of the arm but the damage was enough that the bandit could not raise his hammer again.
The bandit gave a grown and fell do his knees as blood continued to run down his arms. The other bandits all began to either run away on foot or on horseback leaving their fallen commander kneeling in the street before Aaron.
Bandit, “finish me off I can only live for my fallen king. I’m nothing since I failed him.”
“and what do you mean by that?”
the bandit looked away, “Why should you care?!”
“just tell me!”
“My… my King once ruled one of the nations along the continents coast line. At first he was a kind benevolent ruler but he began to change. Eventually we were forced to flee from his sister’s coup of the country... we eventually wound up on this island and that is all I will tell you.”
Aaron wiped off his blades and slid them into their sheaths.
[Enae, “Aaron… please spare his life.”]
[Aaron, “Why should I let these kind of scum live.”]
[Enae, “Not all are how they seem.”]
Aaron sighed.
Aaron, “I will not kill you since you are no longer a threat. I leave you to the towns council or rulers judgment.”
Bandit, “Kill me!”
Aaron shook his head, “no I will not.”
Aaron looked at the man then began to bandage him up.
Bandit, “Why are you doing this I must fall in battle following my warriors code of honor.”
Aaron, “I really do not care about a warriors honor. I care more for peoples lives and helping others then ones own selfishness.”
Bandit, “I am not worthy of this…”
[Enae, “This guy does not know when to quit.”]
Aaron, “If you want to die so badly find something to fight for besides banditry.”
Bandit, “it is the only thing I can do in this land since I have nowhere I belong anymore.”
Aaron turned to see many of the villagers either standing there looking at him, putting fires out, or crying over loved ones.
Aaron, “these people need someone to fight for them. This land from what I have seen it is very hard to survive alone besides having bandits raiding them.”
Aaron looked back at the man.
Bandit, “My name my lady is Jonathan Verstin I am in your debt.”
Aaron nodded then walked over to the nearby villagers.
Towns folk, “May I ask you for your name stranger.”
Aaron, “My name is…you may call me Aaron I am the Chosen of Goddess Enae.”
