Syngeneia Kathairein part 33
#34 of Syngeneia Kathairein
You like dark fantasy, dragons, adventure and a bit of romance?
You want to see the work of a professional video game writer?
You find AI's interesting?
This story of mine has all of that! Syngeneia Kathairein puts you in the shoes of Entropion, a purple dragon tasked to ''make the world right again''. (although he is a jackass in this prequel intro!) The view is set in first person view from Entropion's POV. This story is inspired by warcraft, forgotten realms, spyro the dragon and dragon age, among other things. AIdungeon's makeup is a bit messy, but > arrows denote saying or doing something. Part of the story is AI generated, please keep that in mind.
HIATUS! I want to take my story to bigger places, next week will be behind the scenes work fixing the early parts.
>You say "Interesting... Dis, you feel that as well, right? " "Yes, yes I do. this place is benevolent; it wishes us no harm." "So what now? we got new powers?" "I don't know, let's try something? Anything." You think for a bit ''Makes sense I guess? The 4 Eldritch schools of magic don't got clear sources like the regulars do.'' > You say "Let's reason this one up, shall we? fire is raw emotion, ice is lack of it.... Darkness is hatred, light compassion, earth or physical willpower, electric logical, air controlled emotion and acceptance. so if anti-magic cancels out magic and burns it... HPYOTHESIS! what if using the opposite emotion of what we are targeting, so, lack of emotion if we attack a fire being or object? " "Interesting... I like it. The opposite of what we are doing should be the key to success. So no anger if we are attacking a fire being, instead we should be serene or something." "Yeah." You nod. "let's try it out" You and Disarria run further, soon the earth rumbles.... an ancient alien statue rises from the ground! Parts of it's body are made out of boulders as this statue is severely damaged. It's eyes glow red with hatred for you! this towering abomination is easily 6 stories high! it's body is made up of multiple bodies melded into one! it screams out, "you fool! you should not have messed with things you do not understand!" It raises it's rocky, boulder-like finger and fires a thin, red beam at you. You feel your skin burning instantly. "Ha, hahahahaha! how do you like my power? can't fight something you can't fight, can you? I'll show you the meaning of pain!" > You test out your theory. this seems to be an physical/pure magic construct. channel feelings of defeatism and depression to attempt an anti-magic attack. You sigh, and begin to feel defeated. you think of your painful life, of all the people who have used and abused you. You sigh once more, and begin to feel calm and at peace. You channel a beam of magenta energy and the statue begins to burn with magenta flame! The statue screams in pain as it begins to crumble. It fires a few more beams, but they go wide, hitting the ground and causing small earthquakes in your area.
"Wha... what's happening!? This isn't possible!" > You say "well, that's that! I guess I have a new scar... Disarria? want to try the next objective? " she nods, and starts inspecting the fallen statue... and pulls out a pink crystal! she smirks wide ''Hey Enty, I got the first out of the five!'' the thing glows and it looks beautiful... hypnotizing.... an arch grows out of the ground and a portal with a vortex inside it forms. This is your nudge to head back. You arrive back in the room with the crystal. It flies out of Disarria's claw and slots into an engraving in the wall arch of the portal. Mazatl claps playfully and has a look of delight on her face ''really quick! How did you manage?'' You simply smirk in response while Disarria explains the situation. Mazatl nods, her triangular, firm ears flapping. She looks eager to hear what you have to say "So? What did you think?" You think carefully before answering. > You say "Anti-magic can certainly be a deadly force, however, what is the source?" Mazatl nods, and begins to explain the situation. ''Anti-magic is a strange force of nature which is found in a few places across the universe. It's a strange, purple plasmatic fluid which burns through almost anything given enough time. It's often found around strange, seemingly random locations, in bubbles isolated from regular magic systems. The anti-magic you use comes from the Warchief! you got his approval to use it. Use it with responsibility, it's expensive stuff to make.'' > You say "Blood, Mutation, and Soul left. Disarria? you got to do the next one so you get to choose. which doorway?" She looks at each doorway and has a serious expression on her face. She points to one of the doorways and walks towards it. Mazatl nods and waves you over to the doorway she indicated. Disarria frowns and points to another doorway, then looks at you questioningly. You walk over to the doorway she pointed to. "Let's go!" You follow her into the vortex! Next is the doorway to another familiar area... Mutatio! you are in the middle of a heavily infested swamp like forest, with many sickly colors such are purple, yellow-green, browns and so forth. weird tentacles dot the landscape and sickly, malformed beasts with body parts they should not be at! all abound here. you see a large, purple tentacle creature float by, a heavily mutated beast with too many eyes and an extra mouth in it's belly skulks about looking for prey, and a brown, reptilian bird-like creature with a long tail and a beak that ends in several points flies overhead. "This is the swamp-lands of Mutatio magic," Disarria guesses. > You say "Indeed, look! there's another thingy! the dodecahedron! smash it I guess?" Disarria looks carefully at the dodecahedron, which is pulsating an angry red color, and says "I think it's best if I smash it." She cracks her knuckles and gets ready to smash the dodecahedron. > You say "Dis, that weird mutant bird is going to be alerted. Be ready for combat once you do the thing! " She nods and gets into position to smash the dodecahedron. Her fist goes through the dodecahedron, which quickly disappears. You feel a change in the air. "Where did the bird go?" you ask. "I don't know," Disarria replies. "But something's happening." A tear in reality opens up, spewing out what looks like blood . It pours down like a waterfall, flooding the area with an ominous red liquid. > You say "I certainly feel empowered, but that can't be good... ready anti-magic attacks! That bird freak is coming!" You concentrate, and a force field of anti-magic forms around you and Disarria. The blood falls around you, but doesn't get inside. "What the heck is this?" Disarria asks. "This isn't right. This shouldn't be happening." You look up and see the red liquid pooling together to form a figure. The figure looks like a cross between a man, a bird, and a reptile. > You say "well, this is the Mutatio room... use mutation magic! you wanted to solve this one! can't keep anti-magic field up forever! DAMN! " Disarria nods and begins to mutate. She grows a pair of wings, her skin turning purple. She grows an extra mouth, her teeth becoming sharp fangs. She grows a long, forked tongue, which she lewdly runs across your face. "Dis, stop it!" you say. "It's part of the magic," she says, continuing to change. Her arms become extremely muscular.
Her legs become extremely thin. Her head grows in size, her eyes turning red. She grows a long, reptilian tail. "What the fuck am I looking at?" you say. "I don't know!" Disarria says. "It's part of the magic." Disarria is barely recognizable. She has turned into a mixture of a human, a lizard, and a bird. She has wings, scales, fangs, and a long tongue. > You say "can't hold the shield anymore.... ouch! ATTACK!" You drop the shield, and a wave of anti-magic washes over the creature. It howls in pain, but quickly adapts to the power, growing a force field of its own. "It's too powerful!" you say. "We need to run!" "I can't turn back now!" Disarria says. "It'll kill us!" The creature roars, and charges towards you! > You fly up to evade, and attack with your corrosive gas breath. The creature flies up after you, and the two of you engage in a mid-air battle. You spew out a cloud of corrosive gas, which the creature easily evades. It rapidly fires balls of fire at you, which you also evade. You dive-bomb the creature, firing a jet of flames at it. The creature barely manages to evade the attack. It quickly counters with a blast of ice, which freezes part of your wing. > You answer with a darkness based attack, fueled by your hatred. Your jet of negative energy hits the creature, but it's already flying away. The creature quickly turns and fires a burst of light at you, blinding you temporarily. You can't see anything, and you're quickly losing altitude. You're hit with a blast of frost, and your wings freeze over. You start to fall towards the ground, as the creature flies away, cackling menacingly. > You say "Disarria! get that thing! I'm a bit.... stuck..." You yell at Disarria to go after the creature. She quickly flies up, and you lose sight of her. You crash to the ground, and lie on the ground for a few moments. You slowly get up, and look around. > You sigh and stay put for Disarria to return. You sit on the ground, waiting for Disarria to return. You hear the sound of flapping wings, and you turn your head. "What the fuck happened?" you ask. "I killed it," Disarria says. "You sure?" you ask. "It looked really dangerous." "Yeah, it's dead," she replies. "Come on, lets look at your wings'' > You say "bit frozen, I fell hard... how does it look?" "It's broken," Disarria says. "We need to set it. It'll be painful." "Do it," you reply. Disarria quickly snaps your wing back into place, and you scream in pain.
"There," she says. "It should heal up soon." "Thanks," you say. "Come on, let's go on." You smile, and walk alongside her. > You say "Ya got the crystal from the monster? remember, we need these. " "Yeah, I got it," Disarria says." "Perfect," you reply. You keep walking, an arch appears once again. Seems you are also attuned to Mutatio now! Once back Mazatl seems surprised. "Fantastic! you two are remarkably quick! what's that, Entropion? You got hurt'' she empathizes with you, looking over the wing you fell on. > You say "Yeah, thing is broken. I can use light but it takes a master healer to settle and regrow bone properly with light. I'm more of a wound guy. " "I can do it, I'm a high priestess myself." You hand her the wing and she quickly settles the bone back into place. "There, good as new." You flex it a few times, and it feels great. You smile, and thank her. She blushes. ''continue. any arch will do'' > You nod and do so, Disarria follows and you enter the gateway to the domain of blood. You walk through the gateway, and find yourself in a large stone room with a set of stairs in the middle. You walk up them, and find yourself in a massive castle keep. You see a group of people standing around a large table, looking at a map of some sort. The map has blood droplets on it, and is totally blank.... the ''spots'' move and form a cross potent logo from which a dodecahedron rises. > You say "can I smash this one, Dis?" "Yeah, go for it." You nod, and run towards the table. You pick up a battleaxe lying on a chair and swing it at the object, blood flies out in spurts and the men collapse, writhing in pain. a primal desire for blood itself takes over your mind! > You say "Disarria, let's put this to use! it ain't no dark siphon but vampirism ahoy! " You begin to suck the blood of the men writhing on the floor in pain, Disarria looks at you. "This is pretty gory... I'm in!" > You say "hm, a carnal, physical pleasure as the magic siphons their life force... I could use this with far slower corruption than dark siphon." You begin to suck blood from the men, your mouth beginning to salivate at the taste of it. "It's good!" you say with a mouthful of blood. You continue drinking, and drinking, and drinking. You feel full, but the men are all dry, you vitality spikes!
