Chapter 10 - 10: Hello Raganoceros

The moment Voxea touched the wall, both me and her got instantly moved from that tomb to the same spot where I was whisked away from in the first place, and right between an angry Glacielk and Magmoose.

When Voxea and I got back to the forest, a strange force knocked back the Glacielk and Magmoose to the left and right respectively. They did not look happy that an outsider got involved in their territorial dispute. Both the Glacielk and Magmoose proceeded to charge at me and Voxea, their horns glowing with aether.

I was about to roll out of the way when Voxea stopped and with a lazy smile said, "Watch this". As the two majimonsters got closer and closer, Voxea snapped her left and right hands toward them. Next thing I knew, both the Glacielk and Magmoose got launched into the air as a strong gust of wind blasted me and Voxea in the face.

After I shook it off, I saw Voxea look up towards the newly launched monsters and saw her counting with one of her hands.

"Silvia, be a dear", Voxea said sweetly and still counting, "underneath the snow where that rune you stomped on was located should be a disc made of blue stone. Can you please pick it up and place it about three steps in front of me?", she finished while pointing to the spot, counting all the while.

I ran over to the base of the tree where I stomped on that aforementioned rune and cleared away the snow. Low and behold there was indeed a blue stone disc about the size of a cart wheel decorated in what I assume to be other runes. I quickly picked the stone up and hurriedly place it where Voxea pointed to earlier.

"How's this?",I asked after placing the stone.

"Perfect, now this next part is going to be a little strange", she said.

"Strange how?", I asked

"Just watch, oh and grab that knife of yours", she said ominously.

After saying that, Voxea threw a blue ball of light at the disk just as the Glacielk and Magmoose were about to hit the ground. The disk at that moment released a bubble of blue light that ensnared the two majimonsters and caused them to float around the disk in a circle. As they floated, Voxea started chanting like she did in the tomb but the words were different this time. As Voxea was chanting, the two majimonster bubbles started to spin around the disk faster and faster until it looked like there was a uniform purple ring floating above the disk.

As the ring continued to spin, Voxea gestured me to take out my hunting knife. I wasn't entirely sure why she wanted me to, until I noticed the handle starting to glow. To backtrack a bit, years ago my Pa for my 10th birthday gave me this hunting knife and it was beautiful. The handle was made of elk bone while the blade was steel with a pattern resembling flowing water. What stood out though was this purple crystal embedded in the handle, an amethyst Ma called it. She said that it would help me keep a clear head whenever I felt confused. But right now, it was a source of confusion due to it acting like that primal drajule from earlier, though it seemed less "wild". 

I focused on the amethyst and imagined the fork forming again, only this time the fork seemed to manifest around the blade. I didn't really have time to question it as Voxea told me to hurry up with the binding process, as a strange ball of purple light formed at the center of the ring. Not sure where to aim the fork, I pointed at the aforementioned ball and struck the prongs with my finger. 

Purple rings of energy soon formed and encircled the glowing ball. As the tone rang out the rings started to get smaller and smaller, until the ball of light started to look a striped ball of light. Then with a flash, a ring and what sounded like an elk call, the ball of light shot into drajule in my hunting knife. I was a little dazed after performing yet another unusual binding ritual, but Voxea helped me get my bearings together again

"Well then, we should probably get out of here before those two get back up", Voxea said while gesturing to the Glacielk and Magmoose who were both face first in the ground with their legs twitching. Nodding in agreement, Voxea and I proceeded to book it back to the village before the two majimonsters got up and resumed their grudge match.

As we ran, well I ran while Voxea just flew next to me, I turned to her and asked, "So...what's its name? And what was that earlier?"

"That was essence fusion, you binders technically call it breeding but my version is a bit more advanced. As for the new majimonster born...you can name it whatever you want but its species is called a Ragnaceros. You'll understand why when you summon him", Voxea responded.

"Ragnaceros...I'll call him Rakka", I said with a smile growing on my face.
