As the Six entered the Forest of Thought there was a ripple of energy that pulsed throughout the whole forest. Once everyone was inside the forest Adam tried to speak to Ralingar to ask him "what was that?" But nothing came out it was as if he had gone mute.
" oh my God did I go mute."Adam looked around to see who said that then Adam realized that was what he was thinking and thought " oh my god did I just hear my thoughts."
Ralingar turned to Adam and replied, " yes you did in the Forest of Thought you can only commutate by thought waves." The rest of the Six had adjusted to the new of talking in the Forest of Thought and now that they were all able to commute with each other
Ralingar thought to Kai'la " we must make our way to the center of the forest that is where the Tree of Thought is located and he is the guardian of the Ring of Earth. He will also let us out of the Forest of Thought."
As they walked through the Forest of Thought Adam looked around and saw that the branches of the trees were breaking and falling to the ground. Adam also noticed that there were no animals or birds anywhere.
Adam did not know why but he felt that
something was wrong with the forest that Adam turned to Victor and asked him " do you think that Zargorwarth's dark influence is corrupting the Forest of Thought." Victor had considered the idea that the constent build up of Darkness and the tipping of the Scales of Blance could have a effect.
" I agree with you. I think that Zargorwarth's' influence is affecting the world in ways that have not been seen since the days of Ryi'june and Lupine Riddle."
Adam had heard of Lupine Riddle but not of Ryi'june. " Who is Ryi'june?" Adam asked curiously
Ralingar spoke in a calm, composed but somber way like he knew Ryi'june personally " Ryi'june was not a Dra'ghoul by blood by was given the title by Arran Dra'ghoulwho was at the time the ruler of the Kingdom of Nevermore. Ryi'june was the one who defeated Xeno'vent'taris and sealed him away for the time being. Ryi'june was also the one who sealed away Lupine in the Nowhere."
Adam nodded and asked " so who defeated Xeno'vent'taris the first time?" Ralingar stopped and could see this was becoming complicated to explain.
Ralingar took a seat on the ground and said " sit everyone i belive i should explain the lineage of The Dra'ghoul Bloodline and the order in witch things happened." The group sat down
Ralingar breathes in a deep breath and spoke in a calm voice
" The lineage of The Azure Dragon also known as The Dra'ghoul Bloodline began with Erik Dra'ghoul in the Age of the Quinn when Erik was born to a human mother and a Dracoverin father making him a Dragonborn.
Much is unknown about Eriks life but from what has been recorded that Erik become friends with a boy named Silva Riddle who was born to a demon mother and a human father making him a Demonborn." Ralingar paused for a brief moment then continued
" The events concerning Erik and Silva are not important at this time but what is important that Erik became the first ruler of the kingdom of Nevermore and Silva..
Arran Dra'ghoul was the next in line and perished during the War of the Gods but gave Ryi'june the Dra'ghoul name and he was the current ruler of Nevermore until he to Pershed in Xeno'vent'taris Second Coming but not before defeating Xeno'vent'taris and sealing him away once again.
The next in line was Jango Dra'ghoul who created the Rings of Light and defeated the Dark Lord. After that Draco Dra'ghoul defeated Lupine the current vessel of Xeno'vent'taris and perished some after. Finally you Adam are the next in line to the Dra'ghoul Bloodline and the next ruler of Nevermore"
The group was silent after hearing that Adam's nodded not really knowing how to respond to being told he is the hier to a Kingdom and a Bloodline entangled in a battle between a cosmic entiy that stretched multiple eons.
They then stopped in a large open space that had a huge tree in the center of it. Ralingar said, " this is the center of the Forest of Thought."
Kai'la walked up to the tree as she did the large tree opened two large eyes and said in a slow old voice " hello Kai'la I have been waiting for you for many eons." Kai'la bowed to Tree of Thought and said, " how do you know my name?" the Tree of Thought replied, " I know everything." He turned his eyes to Adam and said, " great Warrior of Light I have a request to ask of you." Adam replied, " you do you need?"The Tree of Thought paused and took a deep breath then let out a wheezy cough " I have lived in this Forest for over nine thousand Eons. I was birthed by Kara and placed in the ground at the dawn of Tylingarieas early era.I witnessed the El'taree walk upon the world and their kin flourish and then become dispersed into the races of the universe, I was but a seedling when the first age of darkness came to the universe. The world cloaked in ash and smoke Voidhearts armies destroying the world.I witnessed Ryi'june destroy Lupine Riddle and prevent the Flashpoint upon seeing this my tree roots grew, and peace reigned for eons. At one point I was given a task of with I have forgotten or perhaps I have completed. I cannot remember In all of my lifetimes, I have witnessed boys became great hero's and save the world from great darkness that threatened to destroy the Multiverse."The Tree of Thought looked around at the withering forest and the dying life before himAdam replied, " but what is the balance and how is it destroying this world?"The Tree of Thought replied " I have not ever had to answer that question. First, think of the Multiverse in a broad sense as a place inside your mind. We all have one. It is a place that just we go to escape from this world.Now in this Multiverse think of the balance not just as a scale but as a sort of tree in the center. This tree has roots that spread all throughout the Multiverse channeling Positive Kyi though out time and space, to counterbalance this you add Dark Kyi the Darkness of the Universe. To keep the world from being too peaceful and boring and to overtake by darkness.The Positive Kyi is slowly fading and being replaced with dark Kyi that is eating away at the world corrupting it and destroying all that live upon it." Adam asked the Tree of Thought " what can I do to help you?" The Tree of Thought replied " I can only be healed by the Warrior of Lights power once the balance is restored to the world. I need you to promise me that once you defeat Zargorwarth and restore balance you heal me. I do not wish to die until my task is complete." The tree of thought paused and said slowly and sadly " A task that I can't seem to remember what it is or if it's even completed." Victor asked the tree "then why be healed and continue?" the tree replied "because I have to. I don't know why but I have to." Adam promised the Tree of Thought that he would heal him once his quest is finished and balance is restored The Tree of Thought looked at Kai' La " you must travel up to the highest branch and up there you will find the Ring of Earth." Kai'la La'gar leaped up to the first branch and swing from each branch until she reached the highest branch when she got there sitting on a branch was the Ring of Earth. The Ring of Earth was a ring made of solid rock. As Kai'la walked over to where the Ring of Earth was the earth began to shake as Kai'la took the Ring of Earth and put it on her finger a bright light engulfed her. the light lifted her as she was being lifted all of the earth around the Tree of Thought began absorbing itself into Kai'la skin she was then engulfed in the earth. The earth began pulling up until she was in a ball of pure rock. after a few seconds, beams of light pierced through the rock ball, and then Kai'la smashed the rock ball sending pieces of rock and earth everywhere. As she descended from the Tree of Thought the rest of the Six could see here Guardian Form. Her skin was still blue, but it was rock-like, and her muscle mass increased this include her breast size. Her clothing did not rip because her clothes were self-forming to her body. Her face was rocky and chiseled. Her eyes had changed to a light grey color her hair also changed to a light grey color. Kai'la approached the Six who had watched her transform from a blue alien woman into a blue rock-like alien. She walked up to Ralingar and said: " We now have two of the Rings of Light." Ralingar then said " now the real journey begins we need to make our way to the Southern Kingdoms," Ralingar asked the Tree of Thought " may we pass through so that we can journey towards the Southern Kingdoms to find the three remaining Rings of Light." The Tree of Thought said, " you may pass through." As an opening in the forest opened up revealing an exit that leads out of the Forest of Thought. Ralingar thanked Tree of Thought and once they were out of the Forest of Thought Nina asked Ralingar " where are we going to go to get Luke and my rings." Ralingar replied, " we are going to the Sea of the Northern Kings to see the Sea Nymph Vrina so that we can get your Ring of Light Nina the Ring of Water."
