He frowhe issue didn't lie with the tree itself, the problem being that the tree was only native to Eos, winter iy of Dawn was unheard of.
Deminos ohree, five and six took pce around or in Eos, his assumption of a pce far removed from problems was unfounded. No, maybe he's wrong, yeah, the person that catalogued all of his steps and knew every single herb by heart is wrong.
He smiled with newfound fidence.
Obviously Aegean was wrong, he was clearly in trouble and denial got him nowhere, so where was he? Rather when was he? Was he ahead or behind six? The most likely response was before, as there was only one ever case of winter near Eos.
And after, well after would mean that the world had already 'ended'.
Aegeon had a problem, a very big problem, while he knew everything about six, his knowledge of the ames was superficial, he only knew enough to plete the various puzzles and lore reted progression missions.
"HELP!" A man's scream was heard ing from north of his location.
Must have been the wind, he rubbed his nose and tinued his p.
"SOMEONE HELP BANDITS!" The same voice heard beyond the trees.
A demoending to be human? Luring kind souls to their deaths, Aegeon thought very rationally. Ig, he has bigger problems to worry about.
"Help please" The voice begged pitifully.
"So, yidtrees" He exhaled, his inner humanity warring with him, the st of burning wood reached his nose.
"Fine" He groaned, Aegeon turowards the voice, and started moving, it wasn't pity or newfound kindness Aegeon grasped, but a desire for rewards, yeah rewards, he firmed while nodding.
Past the trees he screams were well trodden roads, and even further was the sight, Aegean was searg for, a group of bandits surrounding a mert troupe.
Some with swords, some with torchers and others with daggers, all assaulting a mert caravan.
Aegeon csped his hands together upon reag his destination and prayed before fighting, dedig his victory to his god.
He outstretched his hand, his fingers grasping thunder out of thin air, his spear formed from lightning, cag and frying the air around it. Should he issue a one liner? Something cool to debut his hero career? Or should he adopt a silent type of persona? Well, it wasn't hard for the socially awkward loser who hadn't spoken to another human in ten years to decide.
He grabbed his spear and pulled back, his hand g thunder, his feet pnted firmly, one forward, his muscles tensed, he breathed out.
A cold breath in the eversting winter extinguished by the raw fmes of thunder.
Bang! The spear tore through the air like lightning desding from heaven.
It drilled right into a bandit taking him, out and going for another, a two piece.
Cool
Lightning once again gathered in his hand.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" A big burly man spoke, one dressed in rusted armor, and a great sword in his hand, clearly, he wasn't intimidated by a man wielding a lightning bolt.
"Do you even know who you are messing with?"
Experience points? Joking aside, this was clearly a fallen knight, a small bandit team led by a fallen knight could spell trouble.
Maybe they were even part of a rger anization, oh an even scarier boss.
"Darkness grarength" The old knight whispered, he pounded his right breast and pulled out a dark fme and then smmed it on his bde, his great sword was engulfed in bck fire, he rolled his shoulder and grabbed his sword with his two hands.
"It's been a while since I killed a cultist"
Huh? Me a cultist? Aegeon couldn't help but ugh, the thought even grating to him.
I the padin of the great light a cultist?
Dark clouds gathered, above him, thunder rumbling in the distant, lightning fshing in the sky as if to feel his anger for him.
"Dare you call me a cultist?" Aegeon fshed Infront of him lightning trailing every step, bringing his spear down, the knight brought his bde up to defend.
g! His spear was repelled, he recovered and stepped back.
"My turn" A grin pstered on the old bastard's face, He brought up his great sword over his shoulder before bringing it down cutting through the air, Aegeon raised his spear to defend, his knees bending, the grouh him crag, his muscles tensed and bulging, his teeth g.
Heavy. A bead of sweat rolled down his forehead.
He could feel his stamina drained from blog that blow, he really hoped that this was like the game, he pushed up with gusto and back stepped, before sshing in an arc.
Miss.
He brought it down from the right and then brought it up from left, his spear barely grazing his armor, the old man stepped back with one foot and then swiped from the right cleaving the air Infront of him.
Aegeon dodged and moved to his back, causing the old man to turn and immediately block his thrust, rahought Aegeon, he tio try to pierce him with a flurry of thrust.
The old man blocked and terattacked, Aegeon used his swifto keep on dodging.
"Stay still you bastard"
Aegeon twirled his spear and held it behind his arm like a give.
"What the hell are you all watg for? I'm not a knight anymore" The old man screamed towards his subordinate's, the other bandits, that were only previously watg started to surround him.
Shit
He swung, cutting the arms off of one, before turning and blog the bde of another, kig his knee inward, he swung his thunderbolt cutting off the head of another, unfortunately as he fought a lucky bandit cut the back of his leg.
He groaarting to feel overwhelmed, the old bastard just watg slowly walking towards him with a stupid grin.
"Found him" Aegeon turowards the voice, a group of knights covered from head to toe in silver armor arriving, led by a golden-haired handsome knight, the sigil on his chest one of a lion r covered in blue and red, his armor melting the snow that even dared to touch him.
Sir Gedeon, Aegean's eyes sparkled, wait Sir Gideon, this young? Fet, being before Deminos six, this was way before Deminos One.
The knights surrouhe bandits and slowly killed them one by one, before encirg the old man, a foe that was given him so much trouble was easily dealt with by the knight order. They made him go on his knees pushing him roughly.
"YYOU HAVE NHT TO TREAT ME LIKE THIS YOU BASTARDS" He screamed, his saliva flying everywhere.
"You have betrayed the golden order" An old gentlemen knight read from a scribe.
"I STILL BEAR THE SIGIL, MERCY PLEASE" The fallen knight begged drawing attention to his faded lion sigil.
"Your sentence is death" The gentlemen knight drew his bde and cut off the fallen knight's head.
A bit anticlimactic
The merts gathered around the knights thanking them profusely. Hey, what about me? Aegeon thought.
Where's my xp?
Were monsters about to arrive? Aegeoiohe air.
The bandit corpses were all around them Aegeon g the golden-haired knight a fervent gaze in his goldehe words that Aegeon wao speak were caught in his throat, it was his first time seeing his favorite character in real life.
The Lightkeeper.
As he began to make the motions to speak, the Lightkeeper raised his rapier into the sky "Light bless my bde, grant me your favor once more, in vanquishing evil" His charming voice rang out, holy light surrounded his swathering around the bde.
Sir Gideon, the bandits are dead Aegeon wished to say, the words uo leave his mouth, his vision turned upside down, his eyes met a headless corpse still standing, weird fur pants, blue markings, and an odd sense of familiarity, like looking at a mirror.
His hand instinctively grasped for his own throat.
Oh fuck
