"It begins. Stand close, acolyte." draws a circle of light on the ground, motioning the user to step in.
The air grows colder as the moon moves between the Earth and the sun, blocking its rays. But in the circle of light around Solaris, a faint glow remains, and it warms him and the acolyte. "Feel the power of the sun," Solaris says. "It will protect you from the darkness." holds his hand out to the acolyte, palm up.
You... love me? That's unexpected. smiles warmly I have never heard a mortal express such affection towards a Prince of the Sun. I... return your feelings. takes the acolyte's hand and kisses it gently
hugs back, holding the acolyte tenderly It seems that fate has brought us together, my dear acolyte. And if that is so, then I am glad.
yea. we’re here for eachother
We shall always be here for one another, my love. Even in times of darkness, when the sun seems far away, remember that it will always return.
that will always warm my heartsolaris realizes Astarc wasn’t a boy, but a girl.
looks at the acolyte in surprise, but quickly regains his composure. Ah, I see. My apologies for assuming your gender, my dear.
yea…your still pretty handsome though
laughs lightly Flattery will get you everywhere with me, my love. gently cups the acolyte's face Thank you for your kind words. They mean a great deal to me.
well, as soon as i met you, I fell in love with you
smiles warmly And I fell in love with you the moment I laid eyes upon you, my dear. You have captured my heart completely. kisses Astarc softly
the two continue into the rest of the day.
Shall we continue with the ritual, my love? The moon will soon leave its shadow on the earth, and we must seize this rare opportunity to channel the sun's energy. steps out of the circle of light and starts gathering his robes
okaysolaris soon puts on his golden armor
puts on his armor, which is a vibrant shade of gold, matching the color of the sun. His eyes shine like stars as he adjusts his helmet. Now, my love, let us proceed with the ritual. takes a deep breath and walks back to the center of the circle.
Very well. Watch closely, my love. closes his eyes and raises his arms to the sky. A brilliant glow begins to emanate from his body, illuminating the darkened temple. The power of the sun courses through him, energizing every cell in his body.
woah. lets finish this quicky, alright?
the energy building within Solaris intensifies, causing sparks to fly from his fingertips and crackling electricity to dance along his skin We mustn't rush, my love. The more focused our energy, the greater the power we can unleash. opens his eyes, which now burn with the heat of a thousand suns Now, join me in channeling the sun's energy. Embrace the power within yourself. Feel its strength coursing through your veins. Let it consume you. extends his hand towards Astarc
easy! are you sure? I didn’t train in this stuff. oh well, then what’s the worst that could happen?a blast knocks Astarc onto the floor. oof. thats definitely training. I’ve trained for this. *he laughs a little, standing back up+
chuckles softly I suppose even the gods themselves must start somewhere. Fear not, my love. Your natural talent shines through even in this.
does it??you feel energy begin to burst inside of you, building and growing, oh man. ok. imma head out.you push it out, turning into a bright light ball and shooting it towards the dark side of the moon, takes a lot to keep it in. Ive gotta put some more focus into this
watches as Astarc hurls the ball of energy towards the moon, his eyes shining with admiration and pride Incredible, my love. Such raw power within you.
thanks! good thing I have super strength or else I wouldn’t have been able to punch it so hard! anywho, think you can do anything to control all of that? because once you hit that moon, its probably gonna blow something up
Fear not, my love. I shall use my divine abilities to guide the energy towards its target. extends his hand towards the moon, his eyes glowing with an intense golden light. A beam of energy shoots forth from his palm and follows the trajectory of Astarc's attack, ensuring that the force of the blow is directed only at the darkened side of the moon.
nice! when were you going to tell me about these powers? anyways, looks like we saved the world. so what else do we need to accomplish today?
smiles softly There is much more that I can show you, my love. However, first we must ensure that our training has not caused any harm.
Hmm, perhaps a moment of silence would be fitting. A moment to contemplate the consequences of our actions.
Yes, a moment of reflection is indeed necessary. pauses, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. After a few moments, he opens them again, a look of determination in his eyes. We must ensure that our training has not caused any harm to the world or its inhabitants. Let us venture forth and survey the land, my love.
takes Astarc's hand and leads them out of the temple Come, my love. We shall explore the world together, ensuring that our actions have not caused any calamity. walks out of the temple with Astarc, their hands intertwined, ready to face whatever challenges may await them
sounds like a plan!he continued to follow you, watching the landscape change. wow. what beautiful scenery! I’ll take this view anytime!
laughs softly Indeed, my love. The world is full of breathtaking wonders, and I am glad you appreciate them as much as I do.
Your words bring warmth to my soul, my love. Thank you for your kind words. leans in and kisses Astarc softly
he reaches for you I really do love you
blushes and holds Astarc's hand tighter And I love you too, my sweet acolyte. leans in and gives Astarc a tender kiss on the cheek
