The Flow of Arcane: New Legends Arises

Looming Storms Ahead

Red Son rushed through the city streets as powerful bolts of lightning struck many structures and nearly obliterated them. Sending massive amounts of rock and wood scattered outwards from the destruction. Thankfully, Red Son was able to quickly sunder the debris before it could crush anyone with a single fireball. Unlike most beings who could manipulate the Element of Fire, Red Son possessed control over a form of flames far more potent than even The Tcham Scepter that the mighty Ra could wield. He controls The Samadhi Fire, one of the Nine True Elements that came into existence alongside The Primordials that shaped Yggdrasil and The Realms among its trunk. "Get out of here now! I'll try to take down the Dragoness that is causing this storm!" The Bull Demon Prince told the small group of Mythics as they nodded in response before running for their lives. Red Son continued forth as he watched a Demi-Goddess battle the massive Dragoness as she breathed massive bolts of lightning at her with murderous intent. 'How did a Dragoness of that size even sneak into the city with no one noticing?' Red Son questioned as he continued running towards the battle taking place as he began to shift into his Demonic Form to take shape. Growing larger in size and muscle mass while Red Son's body adapted traits from both Minotaur and Demon origin as he conjured more of the Samadhi Flames from within him to do battle against the Dragoness.

Yet before the Bull Demon could reach the fight himself, a massive surge of Silver Mana swiftly formed into two skeleton arms that bound both Storm Dragoness and Aesir Demi-god down with little to no effort. As Red Son watched this display of raw magical might in awe. The Seven Crescent Tails walked over slowly with an expression of empathy before his Wisp-O-Mirāju Glare laid its sights on the Aiser child with a venomous stare. "I was not expecting this to come from the draconic mythic..." Began the Kitsune as the girl's own eyes stared back with a violent rage as her eyes glew intense royal purple to the point they nearly began orbs of raw Bifrost Energy, "Although, that girl is the one responsible for all of this destruction. Best that you give medical attention to the Kapre and the Dökkálfar Princess first, Prince Red Son." He explained as the Dragoness lashed around in a feral rage, still wanting to attack the Aesir and even charged another breath of lightning before Kizeno flexed his eyes upon the Dragoness' own eyes. Upon the second they locked eyes, The Dragoness was placed into a comatose state due to the illusionary power that the Kitsune held within his Glare.

Red Son was stunned by the raw power that the Kitsune held within him. "I have heard about you, Kizeno. Your speeches about declaring war against the Midgardians are foolish." The Bull Demon advises while remaining in his current and empowered form. "The Council deems your actions across Midgard to be a threat to everyone within The Realm. You need to stop before you spark a conflict that will lead to the deaths of many." Red Son pressed while crossing his arms. He knew of the story that made Kizeno develop a strong hatred towards the Humans. Kizeno's family was caught in the crossfire between a rampaging Gashadokuro and agents of The White Star Corporation. Losing his mate and children at the hands of the humans. In a rage, Kizeno unleashed his full power to slaughter both the Gashadokuro and the Agents. Yet, Kizeno only gave out a soft growl of anger before transforming into a silver fox and running off before Red Son could follow.

Vainomtie was walking through the halls of his Research and Development Laboratory that had been gifted to him by The Dark Mother. His armor clanked on the vinyl floor tiles as he walked through various containment rooms for test subjects. The Hidden Mage held his grimoire closely while examining each cell before laying his eyes on two particular cells. One held a Japanese American woman dressed in a green t-shirt, blue jeans, a trench coat that concealed the harrase for a sidearm, and combat boots. The one next to her belonged to a Schnee Native Woman wearing a business suit and skirt. These two women he held captive were able to uncover his and his brother's goal for the world. Impressing Vainomtie by their cleverness to nearly expose their operations that had been planned out by The Dark Mother since they had discovered her. "Ah. I nearly had forgotten about you two. I have been busy with other matters as of late." He chuckled as his armor created a metallic ringing with each word. "Amari Kage and Shadi Gonzales, correct?" He requested as Vainomtie sadly allowed their names to slip his mind with the experiments that mostly occupied his time.

"What the hell are you even trying to achieve here asshole!?" Demanded the Private Detective as she pounded on the energy field that held her trapped within her cell, "I don't really see the point of trying to make World War Three happen. Especially with how you conduct yourself!" She spat towards the armored Mage as he only found this amusing to watch.

However, as Amari tried to gain some kind of answer from the man, Shadi remained silent since she was afraid of invoking his wrath. "You are right about that Ms. Kage. Though, I do not owe you an explanation nor the Schnee Reporter that discovered us before you did." Vainomtie declared as if he was already bored from entertaining Amari, seeing her as a lesser being. "Yet... I am more interested in HOW you both even alluded to our operations... That has been something bothering me ever since we discovered your meddlings." The Hidden Mage inquired as he faced them while patting his book onto the other hand.

Both Shadi and Amari refused to give any insight into this oddity that plagued Vainomtie's mind as he eventually stopped his display of arrogance and let out a frustrated sigh. He soon opened the Grimoire it glowed with powerful crimson energy, making the two women shutter in fear as they backed away from the Mage. Vainomtie searched the many pages within this book holding ancient knowledge and power within the pages. Upon landing a specific page within the book, The Hidden Mage held up one hand while holding the grimoire in the other. Using his Mana, a circle formed with many runes of what seemed to originate from Russia. However, these Runes seemed to be from the distant past rather than anything from the present day. "Otŭkryti тайный." Vainomtie declared as the magic within the crimson circle began to intoxicate both Shadi's and Amari's minds to compel them both to tell him what he wanted to know.

Amari and Shadi tried their best to resist the magic that enthralled their minds, yet the raw magical power that The Hidden Mage could command was too great for them to resist his will. "I... I... Was hired... By... Washta Gonzales... To... Find Shadi... After she vanished." Amari confessed as she was then released from the magic. Amarin fell to her knee and coughed intensely as if Amari was being choked by the Magic. Soon Shadi had followed with her confession as she gripped her throat. "I was... Given a... Tip from... A man that... Called himself... Koschei." She announced as Vainomtie immediately began to display an intense level of rage as he used his Mana to pull the Schnee Reporter into his grip. The Wrath that radiated from the armored Mage was made clear as the power within his eyes created a blood red colored orbs of energy.

"Koschei The Immortal Tipped You Off!?" Interrogated Vainomtie as he clenched Shadi's throat to the point that the guanlet's fingertips were making her bleed as they punctured her skin. Shadi was terrified by his rage towards whoever this Koschei person was. Yet, it was clear that Koschei had a connection to him and his brothers. The last thing she wanted was to endure the wrath of any of the siblings. "How Did HE Contact You Woman!?" Vainomtie demanded as his armor vibrated with the rage within his voice.

"He Just Came Out of Nowhere! He Heard of Me from CNN or one of my Podcasts! This Guy Told Me About Some Cult Group Was Tied to The Chernobyl Disaster and Knew How Those Gems Found By Gibbs Industries Worked! Due to How Revolutionary They Are As An Energy Resource, I Saw the Potential For A Story to Be One of The Most Historic Of ALL Time! I Don't Know Anything Else!" Shadi admitted with fear, making it clear that Koschei approached her and not the other way around. Vainomtie gave an intense stare before tossing her back into the cell. Seeing the truth from the Schnee Woman's eyes, Vainomtie was still enraged by this new information. Shadi crashed onto the ground and rolled across the floor a bit, giving her more bruises than when she was being choked by the metal hand. Shortly, The Hidden Mage stormed out of the area out of pure rage since Koschei's mere presence would create too many complications for The Dark Mother's Ultimate Goal. An Everlasting Peace.
