Welcome to Gaia! ::

As one last lightnign bolt of energy was collected into the massive ball, Volt suddenly let the titanic blast go, the energy ammased for it being equal to about 20-25 turns of charge ((Not exact due to the method used to charge)). The blast would scream towards Damrius at a terrifying rate of speed as Volt's voice would thunder across the plains as thunder rolled across the skies.

The massive attack, now roughly 25 feet in diameter, sped towards Dame, aming to explode in a burning detonation of heat, electricity, and sparks. It would easily do major damage if not dealt with inteligently...

Unbeknownst to Dame, Volt had taken a beating. The man had, if there was an HP scale, about 1500HP. Dame had hit him earlier for massive damage, and dropped him down to 350HP, meaning that Dame's final attack would easily do enough damage to defeat him. Dame's strategy had left the young warrior with only 1 HP left, but it had been enough to hold onto consciousness long enough to fire the finishing move.

The final hit landed perfectly, and caused Volt to fall to the ground, stooping for a moment... His cuts and scrapes would heal slowly, but soon he would stand up, and walk over to the tired Dame.

Warrior Damrius, thou hath proven thyself worthy of the Elemental Pact of Lightning. The true strength of a warrior comes not from how strong he believes he is, but how well he conducts himself in battle, not simply fighting ability but mental strength as well. Thou hath proven that ye have strong resolve in battle, and know not to back down when the challenge in front of thy face seems to be impossible. Ye hath proven that your mind is strong as well, and able to seek out that which seems difficult to achieve. Thou hath faced death with courage, and the inner resolve of a true warrior. Warrior Damrius, thou hath been judged, and thou hath proven thy worth. Under what vow doth thou maketh thy pact?

Volt had the tiniest hint of a smile on his face as he spoke, and with a soft growl, Thunder appeared at his side, sitting on his hind legs as if awaiting Dame's answer.

Very well, Warrior Damrius. With your vow, thou art granted the power of the Elemental Plane of Lightning. Use it well, Warrior Damrius, and farewell...

With those words, and a final roar from Thunder, the pair vanished back into their realm. Suddenly, a massive rune would appear around Damrius, and would pulse with energy. Several rips in the planar fabric would appear and slowly surround Damrius. if he were to look into them, he would see a place of solid lightning and electricity, and filled with bright light.

Then, with a secondary pulse of energy, the smaller rips jumped towards Damrius, and surrounded his body. The energy would burn for a moment, but slowly, it would fade more and more until the electricity and shocking was almost non-noticable...

And then, with a massive flash of white light, a powerful pulse of energy, and a brilliant lightning bolt falling from the sky to shock Damrius, the pact was complete. No more would he have to draw from his own inner reserves. No more would he have to gather energy from other sources. Now, he would feel a soft flow of energy always there for him to make use of.

The energy from the plane would be there for him to pull from at all times as long as the pact remained intact. His charges were now equal with his masters, and he had a maximum number of 10. As a gift, he was also granted lightning and electric immunity, just as Ryugi was immune to fire and heat.

And as Dame would admire his new abilities, he would find his wounds had been healed, the last gift from Volt. Dame deserved congradulations, as he was now ... an Elemental Warrior.

Silver was leaning on a tree, hidden from view. He had watched his companion form a pact with the Lightning Entities with great interest. Letting out a silent laugh to himself, he grinned at Damrius' victory.

"Heh... Ryugi has chosen well..."

Silver stayed close by, not exactly hiding, but not exactly coming into the open either.

Silver grinned, speaking from 16 feet behind Dame to his right.

"Oh, from about the time that electric denzine showed up. Not like the entire town didn't notice. Not that it mattes in a continent of dragons, but hey."

He merely shrugged. He knew what could happen if one messed with one of these challenges. And it was Damerius' decision to go and do this. It wasn't his business.

Ryudo looked up and huffed. Apparently he didn't care much, mostly because the three party members had returned together. As long as they were in a group...

Now that you're back, its time to pack up. We'll sleep on the road tonight. We need to head out towards the City of Elders.

Silver remianed silent, obviously waiting to leave for a while. So he meerly followed them out, Angelous by his side.
