Chapter 7 - The Gathering Storm

Azrael emerged from the depths of the Shadeborn stronghold, his heart racing and his mind racing even faster. He had narrowly escaped, but the weight of his discoveries pressed heavily on him . The Shadow Orb

Was not just a tool of power , it was a fragmented force that the Shadeborn were desperate to reassemble. He knew he had to act quickly.

"Now I don't know if he would understand if I explain," Azrael told himself.

Azrael made his way back to the hidden sanctuary where he and Nyx had trained.

"Why do I feel something comforting?"

The familiar shadows felt comforting, a stark contrast to the chaos he had just escaped. He thought to himself,

"If I do this reckless stuff again, I will succumb. It will not be a smart idea- let's train some more."[1]

Unpon reuniting, Azrael with Nyx recounted his harrowing experience, detailing the Shadeborn's rituals and the existence of the Shadow Orb. *Nyx listened intently, their expression a mix of concern and determination that Azrael had made him smirk.

Azrael felt something was wrong with this expression but reassured them that everything was going to be "Fine." Azrael smiled, letting *Nyx[2] know not to worry.

So, Nyx started changing the topics and talking about understanding the threat. "I am confused," Azrael thought.

Together, they analyzed the implications of the Shadeborn's plans.

The Shadow Orb could amplify their power exponentially, and if they succeeded in reassembling it, Aethel would be plunged into eternal Darkness. Nyx and Azrael realized they needed more than just their own strength. Nyx suggested reaching out to other Weavers. They needed a coalition[3] 

"coalition for You Azrael it means Ally"

"I am not That Dumb NYX!!" 

to stand against the Shadeborn.

They set out to gather allies from various corners of Aethel. They visited hidden enclaves, spoke to old friends, and even sought out those who had once been enemies. The urgency of their mission united them.

"Wait NYX aren't these your old enemies that you fought with isn't dangerous ?" Asked Him with a worried Voice 

"Do not worry about me , worry more about yourself"

As they gathered their forces, Azrael took the Opportunity to train with the other Weavers.[4]

The Weaver Camp that He trained Is somehow Far Deep hidden in the Valley , 

He learned new techniques and strategies, honing his skills further in preparation for the battles ahead.

And there, he started to get to know some of the other Weavers. One of them stuck to him the most: a woman training with him. Her name was unknown for some reason, but everyone called her "Yumi." Azrael kind of liked the name Yumi; somehow, it gave him hope that someday the environment would shine with a Beautiful trail of Sun. While sitting on A log Of wood

He Remembered something he thought was long gone and forgotten. Like a Dream

There was a woman on a beautiful land full of roses with him when he was a child. His mother told him:

"Be sure to be kind, be sure to give people love even if it's difficult. Try not to cry, they don't need to know how vulnerable you are, but most likely find a woman that is like your mother, that will do anything for you." It marked Azrael to feel secure on a comfort place that nothing bad will ever Happen to him, nothing more It was like everything was just A NIGHTMARE!

But Azrael for all He did Thought than it was just a Bad memories all the fighting and shadow stuff is long gone , "I am A CHILD AGAIN!!" so it maked him comfort more like it was stuck in Time.

He Started Tearing Up While he his Dreaming , *Nyx felt like Something is wrong . He Saw Azrael crying while sitting the Log wood , He started Running Across The Weaver Camp

also screaming with all his Lung "Azrael wake up!!" half way point of the camp *Nyx knew He will be Late he started Casting A Healing magic "WHISPER OF THE ANCIENT!!!" The ground under *Nyx started Collapsing the force of the Healing magic and also the impact is way more danger than Anyone can bear It could crush your Bones just standing next to Him

While the Speal is Embracing Azrael With Warm,

Yumi Sprinted and casted "Stardust of Veil" Trying not to Arm Azrael , But the beast behind him, But she knew if she didn't cast this Magic Azrael would have lost his Brain, So She just did it knowing the wrong doing she could do to him, But still she Start jumping and cast her missile magic That No one knows she could do that because it was a spell no one Other the higher Weaver Rank magician could use , she vaporized the Beast behind Azrael .

Hoping that the magic Stardust of Veil would not make the Illusion impossible to beat.

Nyx arrive to the scene he saw , checking the tears and saw that he was killing Azrael from the inside the beast , He knew That now everything is in the hand of Azrael

So the whole camp started Hoping The Azrael wake up from the Illusion that Yumi casted

"It can takes hours , days , even weak if the illusion is to strong because it only show the person Nightmare or Desire, But it distort the reality from it " Yumi told to *Nyx

"how do you know this stuff howw!!"The worried voice coming out of Nyx

Making him crazy and worried that he will never make it, could it be if I use my healing magic on him wake up from the spell You cast but of course it can damage the soul of Azrael .

"Do NOT use that magic on him" Yumi said angry "You are going to kill him no matter what for what you are thinking"

"why why are you doing this to him" screaming angry to Nyx 

"Do you not care that you could kill him"

"I thought Weaver as no feelings if another one Die" Nyx said calmly
