Chapter 510: The Realm of Gods and Monsters
Tala, Rane, and Terry were standing on the edge of the forest, just processing their advancement along with the realities around their just-finished trip to the Lunar Hunt.
Tala, for her part, was considering a couple of things a bit further out as well. As such, she frowned in realization. “Hey, we should send another message to Master Grediv. He promised to let us know what was required to Reforge once we got to this step.”
Well, he actually promised to tell them anytime they asked, but it had been recommended that they not do so until they were Paragon.
He’d probably not imagined it would be quite this soon.
Rane opened his mouth to respond, but then he paused and cleared his throat. “Aura.”
Tala cursed. She’d gotten distracted, and her willful alteration of her aura had slipped. “Thank you.”
With a miniscule effort of will, she returned her aura to appearing just below Paragon. Lerra had explained that making her aura appear to be something she was familiar with would be easier than mimicking something she hadn’t experienced in a long time, or for long, or at all. The current display of yellowish-green was something her power and authority were used to, and so it came easier, making it better practice for holding the veil long term.
She would actually have had a really difficult time displaying a ‘true green’ of exact Paragon advancement, because her body was already ‘Reforged’ enough that her aura had the smallest hints of blue in it.
She wasn’t sure if that was because of how much ‘MINE’ her body was to her—given how important authority over self was to Reforging—or if it was because she’d been consuming food from her sanctum for years now, and that was yet another way to gain dominion over herself.
