First Stygian Diviner:Apocalypse

Connecting with nature was one of the abilities that Ethyl had since she was very little. She used it recklessly in her favor during her studies in the institution, but the first time she knew its value was when she was forced to fight the first hellhound  in her life 5 years ago.

Fighting such a  demonic creature was out of the question, the fact that she did it that night made her very confused in the first year.

Ethyl waited for another year to fight such a creature again, not because she was afraid but because she was suddenly alone and less motivated about her whole existence in this world.

That night five years ago was engraved in her memory, she could even tell what she was wearing or what she ate before that too.

Her brother's disappearing days before the triple full moon impacted the family deeply and shredded every last piece of emotion that collected them.

They just couldn't communicate with one another after that, they couldn't smile or talk or even act properly knowing that he was out here scared, cold, and hungry.

Serov was five years old when he disappeared, Ethyl's parents weren't that great in magic and that's why they contacted one of the best mages on the island to cast them a locating spell….A sophisticated one like he said.

They gave a huge amount of money to him, money that they didn't even afford and in return, he just told them that he couldn't sense his energy in the whole region. He was able to know that just by casting a spell using his shirt as an anchor.

Some thoughts crossed her parents' mind, like maybe someone kidnapped him or someone just took him into the next region, or even that the mage just messed with them and that he wasn't maybe that great, and that's why they kept on the run for the next few days, even when the triple full moon was going to happen.

She still remembers her mother crying while walking everywhere asking strangers if they saw her little kid…and also her father who kept blaming her for his disappearance.

He used to play around the house every morning on her watch but that day she got caught in cooking and when she checked him like usual she didn't find him around, and that's how everything started.

The first hellhound she saw in her life was the biggest among all because her fear of it was the most, however, now she was able to say that they were all the same size.

The opening of the portal that day happened far away from her home, but even then they got caught up in the middle of that mess because her father and mother kept screaming her little brother's name. That day was the most terrifying day in her life.

Her parents were too shocked when they saw the hellhound staring at them, so they started running away from him but it was much stronger and faster.

Her parents were running towards her to save her from him but he killed them before they reached her .

She still remembers his terrifying howls as if she was hearing them right now.

That day she reached the salt inside of her pocket and started that spell that she read in one of her parents' books.

The fact that she still remembers such a spell in a time like this was confusing to her.

She only read it once and somehow it was locked inside her head since then to show up in this moment of need.

Next to that spell, there was a note, the spell only works with divine energy .

At the time she thought that divine energy was something rare and sacred and that it would not be of use until she remembered one of her teachers' sayings…

" The divine energy is everywhere, everything in this world is built with it, every creature has it without it we won't fit in to this world but in to the world beyond"

Those words saved her life. In the middle of crying and heavy breathing, she managed to put her hands on the ground and absorb the divine energy on it. One of her strong suits was her control of that energy inside her body to formulate it and use it in her magic.

Not able to think even twice she cast the spell saying:"Unstabilize the magic core inside the hellhound"

It appeared to her for the first time that when she said that while projecting the energy she absorbed, she cut the connection between the hellhound and this place, and for more than a minute it just sat there not moving until she yelled saying:" Destroy the magic core".

At that moment that creature splashed in seconds causing a huge amount of light and disappearing.

That was the trick but it needed a lot of energy and being in this place is not promising and the salt she had was thrown in front of her while she sensed little energy on this ground.

Isiah said again to her:" Let's run, you crazy…"

But she didn't even look at him when she started absorbing the divine energy from the ground around her .

It was not an easy process and because she already used her magic in terminating the burning house she lost a lot of power and that's why she felt very tired while doing that.

The divine energy in this place was normal but she needed more, more like in the institution field, that place was flowing with magic .

And of course, no one in this place knew about this except for her, why!

Because she was the only person walking from one place to another testing the divine energy around Delwias island in case she needed to use it again.

Isiah was very surprised by her stubbornness? but instead of leaving her this time he just made up his mind and got closer to her and said:" Let's move"

She pushed him away until he fell to the ground and she said:" Can't let this monster hovering around; I won't let this happen…not to anyone "
