Chapter 1666 – Shifts in the Sanctum Part 3

Alongside Carriflare, Kygar the Storm Bringer is agreed to most likely be an elemental that has reached the pinnacle of evolution. A creature of storm, lightning and wind, Kygar is a destructive entity by its nature, yet those who dream of the Ancient amongst the Cloud cult speak of the wisdom and temperament possessed by him.

Kygar is patient at times, boiling with fury at others. Like the skies he personifies, the Ancient is both friend and foe, clear and nourishing one day, an engine of destruction and chaos the next.

When he awakens, the site at which he rose is known to have arisen erupts with lightning storms, pillars of crackling energy rising into the sky and starting a season of hurricanes and storms that lasts for a year.

“I really wish you would stop contacting me to work for you,” Cobalt grunted.

The nameless one began to sign, but the carver just waved it away.

“I don’t understand your signs and I don’t want to. I’ve barely been forgiven for betraying my sister, and it certainly doesn’t look good that I keep getting pulled into your projects.”

The nameless one cleaned her antennae.

“We don’t require you to keep it a secret from her anymore. In fact, if you want to invite Tungstant to work on these projects with you, we would welcome her involvement.”

Cobalt snapped her mandibles irritably.

“No thank you. Only one of us needs to be pulled into your murky schemes.”

The nameless had developed a certain gesture, a tumbling of the antennae that they used to mimic a human rolling their eyes. She deployed it here.

“We are solely concerned with enforcing the edicts of the Eldest. Is that… a bad thing in your eyes?”

There was something to the nameless one’s scent that caused alarm bells to ring in Cobalt’s head.

“Not at all,” she replied quickly. “We all love and respect the Eldest. Anyway, the work is pretty much done. It was… a little suspicious how quickly you were able to gather the necessary materials—but I’m not complaining! It’s all… uh… done. I’m going home.”

“We thank you for your expertise. Thanks to you, the design has come together beautifully. Also, I believe you have been working for fourteen hours now.”

Cobalt froze.

“Why… why would you say that?”

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

“It’s just an observation.”

“How are you so sure it’s been that long since I woke up?”
