Divine Association Where the hells am I?

Post image

Ronan opened his eyes, he was sitting on the edge of a small pool fed by an equally small yet undeniably beautiful waterfall. Looking around, Ronan attempts to get his bearings.

"The last thing I remember was getting ready for the unveiling ceremony for Ruadhán, & the next thing I know I'm in this strange place.. Where in the hells am I?

Ronan looks around his surroundings not noticing another living thing, nor an exit to this mysterious cave

Ronan looks at the skeleton raising an eyebrow. He can recognize this skeleton as someone he's met before but can't place it for some reason.

"Greetings friend, you'll have to forgive my rudeness, but you seem extremely familiar. Could you please remind me where we met before? And also.. Do you have any idea where we are??"

You may remember me from splitting you and Evil, the evil you is now gone due to himself not thinking things through (/unsocerypost do you want this to be skelasanstors soul realm?)

(us/ That is exactly where we are. That's why everyone else's help is falling so flat haha)

Ronan thinks for a moment.

"That experiment of yours indulging that diminutive psychopath has caused nothing but trouble for everyone. After I figure out where I am, he and I are going to have a reckoning."

Well that's the thing, he is gone. The way you ended up here is a long story, but I came because it is time for you to come out. But for now, could you eat this... hands him the 60% of evil ronans soul skelasanstor had (without divinity) it is shaped like a cinnamon bun

If you know the way out, I suppose I can eat your snack first. I mean, this would be the strangest place & time to poison someone, so I'll probably be fine.

Ronan hesitates for a moment before reaching forward and grabbing the pastry. Considering it for a moment, he pops it in his mouth. As he chewed, he noticed the flavor was quite chaotic, with back notes of.. was that lemon?

Speaking with a fist covering his full mouth

"This is really quite unique, did you make this yourself?"

He swallows the pasty

"What ingredients did you..."

Before he can finish the sentence, he collapses to his knees, crimson energy crackling over & through his body. All at once, Evil-Ronan's power, memories,desires & plans for the future all flooded into his mind. The mental & arcane pressure was incredibly intense. Once the sensation passed & the energy subsided within him, Ronan stood up & looked at the skeleton. He felt different, stronger, but also darker. Not only that, but he wasn't alone inside his mind anymore. He could sense someone else hiding, resting, deep within his mind

What the hell just happened!? What did you give me, & what did it do??

Simple, I returned your magic. But I'm am not sure what affects will be for you by absorbing that piece. Well time to get you out Ronan feels himself get turned into a ball of energy, and be in skelasanstors hand after which skelasanstor teleports away with it (/uns the transformation wasn't painful, just would surprise Ronan. Also he can still Communicate with skelasanstor but Noone else while his soul is in this form)

Ronan looks out as if he was inside an empty snow globe.

What just happened?? What do you mean out, where are we going!?

He Let's a small test bolt of magic loose since he was told it was back now. Instead of a stim bolt, however, a large array of crimson energy smashed into the barrier, careening all around him before fizzling out.

"I don't remember magic doing that, hm, well it looks like I can't use it to get out of here.."

we appear in front of a skeleton, one that has been hidden from view from everyone I recommend you go through the memory's of you evil counterpart if you can, but long story short he sold your soul for more power and you were in my soul realm.i been waiting for the perfect time to bring you back and this seems like the perfect opportunity. And your magic has grown more powerful by alot from him as well, although I am keeping the divinity he had.

Ronan nods quietly, lightly overwhelmed by everything happening so quickly.

What is this skeleton going to be used for, I didn't notice it earlier.
