Four out of the five Witnesses are stunned, blinking in disbelief after Marshack made use of an unknown type of Plasma, that rendered useless the Pryo Plasma.
This is a severe implication, because the Pryo Plasma is needed to counter the cold temperatures in areas plagued with Cryo Plasma, otherwise, it is highly unlikely to survive.
The crowned man claps his hands in awe and caughts the Apex's attention. "Impressive, you have talent and clearly a lot of training, Young Man. What are you?. An Expelled?. Or a Graduated?. From your REALITY, i mean".
"I don't understand the questions. I wasn't well received in my, REALITY, as you call it, so i stepped out".
*Hahaha*. "Understandable. That is more common of what you could believe. Young Man. Many are like you. And most of them, gather in Eyndver'Loumbp. Would you like to join us too?".
To the beat of the offering, more falcons land and bow, some of them revealing more than one people on their large backs.
Marshack remains in silence for a moment, since the Unmentionable Brightness, he has never had the real opportunity to choose for himself, as he made all his decisions, based on the results and repercussions that will affect the Hûrngöth and mold his Civilization.
{But i don't have to do that anymore!}
The Apex realization provokes an ephemeral gimmick on his mouth, twitching, as he attempts to do a satisfied smirk, but ultimately failing in the process.
However, he senses how his back stretches up, almost as if an unfathomable weight was suddenly lifted from his shoulders, along sturdy imaginary constrains that vanish into nothingness.
With this, Marshack is technically liberated from his title of Absolute Sovereign of the Hûrngöth. Even if he can't scape his nature of being a CEEPP, a Conceived Eminence Especially for the Purpose of Protection.
Without further hesitation, and not having the need to rush. The Apex accepts by riding Axerian's falcon, setting off from the snowy environment.
Flying through the sky, Marshack can feel the cold air impregnated by massive amounts of Cryo Plasma, constantly crashing against his body without affecting him. At the same time, he perceives the heat coming from the mount. Pryo Plasma coveting the plumage of the bird of prey with a dim translucent layer of an ethereal orange glow.
The tall female with coal like skin is sitting in front of the Apex, constantly looking back at him. "Why did you choose me?". She asks puzzled, as the majority would have preferred to ride alongside a beautiful Noble lady from a Renown House like Liyura.
"I enjoy calmness. People can be disturbing without being loud. Their aura is obnoxiously annoying, especially when they are nervous. I can see you want to ask something else, go ahead".
Axerian is taken aback. Not many can see auras, much less interpret them accurately.
"What is it?. You don't want to ask?". Says Marshack while he keeps staring at the landscape to his side, marveled by the majestic beauty of nature. A gift he couldn't protect on Húlfhednar, his Homeworld.
"I am Ganeira Garrott, known as Axerian. I want to learn what you did in that Duel".
{How formal}
"Axerian. I am Marshack Reiker, known as Bverxkka. And you need to be more specific. What do you want me to teach you?".
"The Plasma you employed, and, being more resilient against Pryo Plasma to resist it, as you did. I have a Confrontation in two weeks. I need to win. At any cost".
{Confrontation?. It is different to a Duel?}
"I see". The Apex turns to the woman and shows three slit pupils on each eye, scanning the silhouette of Axerian. "It is a waste of your time to learn the skill of Assimilation and orient it to Pryo Plasma".
"W-Why is that the case Bverxkka?!".
{Curious. She didn't retort or complain. While my answer was unexpected, she focus on the relevant part of what i said}
"Is simple Axerian. Contrary to popular belief. Assimilating and Dissipating Plasma, does not increase with practice, nor is dependant on innate talent. It is based on the Ascension Animal Affection and its homologous. Yet, you don't make use any of the two branches that you have unlocked".
"You mean, something like your tail?".
"Indeed".
The tall warrioress is thoughtful and sighs. "Is there no other way?".
"Not that i am aware of, Axerian. However, if you need to face Pryo Plasma, there are plenty of other ways to do it. Still, Why are you afraid of your Ascension Animal Affection?".
"I don't like it. Because i am unable to control and suppress it".
"That is absurd. Axerian, you must be aware of the full extents and inclinations of your prowess. That will never happen if you are afraid of knowing how much you can do. Control comes later".
"But, the changes. They are too primal".
"Lightning and fire are more savage. Still, they are used to illuminate the night or cook a meal".
"I am not ready, Bverxkka".
"Comprehensible, knowing your limits is part of progressing".
*Ahem*. "Regarding the other methods?".
"It depends on what you want to do. For example, Proto Plasma is capable of cancel the existence of Pryo Plasma. Like matter being annihilated by antimatter, only without the outburst of energy".
"So, i could match shot by shot with this Proto Plasma that you mention?".
"Not a viable or reliable option for a neophyte, but yes. I personally would recommend you to make use of a Body Shield. But seeing how extraordinarily suitable you are for Amber Plasma. I suggest you focus on it. Although, alternatives are always good. Like Pyro Plasma".
"Pyro?. Not Pryo?".
"Correct. It is Red, not Orange. You have a tiny connection with it".
"It is that good?".
"It depends on who you are going to use it against, but generally speaking, Pyro Plasma consumes Pryo Plasma. Similar to what happens with Proto Plasma entering into contact with Cryo Plasma. The latter gets a lot stronger and solid".
"The Unbreakable Ice?".
"It is not unbreakable. But it is not as mild as melting Cryo Plasma with Pryo Plasma".
"Let me guess Bverxkka, it explodes".
"Almost correct. Implodes".
"How do you know about this, Interactions?".
"I got curious. A «Don't do it», wasn't enough explanation for me".
{Now that I think about it. What other mixtures and interactions are possible with Plasma?. The arrogant young lady said «Yöwöll Plasma». I don't know this Plasma}
"Brace yourself Bverxkka". Axerian warning comes with a surge of velocity, as the falcon delves into a wormhole that conducts the raiders to Eyndver'Loumbp…
