Chapter #6The Altar of the Faerie by: Kooplan   A storyline requested by an anonymous user
After the defeat of King Rudolph, and the following efforts to restore the continent, the Deliverance had stayed together, and indeed become stronger. One day, they came across a traveling merchant whose trade route to and from the neighboring continent of Archanea had been blocked by pirates. Agreeing to help the merchant Alm's group, while strong already, made a stop at a certain place to prepare even better for the coming battles with the sea rogues.
That place was the Altar of the Faerie. It was there that Alm and his companions had journeyed to find the next in the assortment of Overclasses, which would grant a boon from exiled gods of historied past, or servants thereof, that could enhance one's abilities beyond normal means. The Deliverance had been searching out all of these altars in order to travel across the sea. The servant in question this time was the Faerie. A slyph that was said to grant further magical powers to master Saints.
Inside the altar, Silque had followed along with the group's fighting, using her healing magic to protect and revive her allies. It was without question that she was the most adept Saint the party had. So it was obvious to all that she should be the one to receive the blessing to promote to the Exemplar Overclass.
All of Alm's group had gathered to watch their beloved Saint be granted above and beyond normal means of growth. Silque was confident in the process, praying to the statue of the Faerie in the middle of the altar. The usual light show ensued. When it was over, Silque had changed costumes, and changed classes. Their ever humble Saint was now sporting the title and style of an Exemplar.
"I accept my new mission with humble determination." Silque stated confidently as she rose to her feet. Whatever Mother Mila had in mind for her path was the right way for her to go. No matter how things progressed from here, Silque knew that it was the how the mother willed it to be. She would not question it.
"Nice new rags, Silque." Tobin jokingly praised his female companion's new attire.
"Thank you, Tobin." Silque smiled and bowed graciously, not picking up the slight jest. As she looked down at herself, she had to agree. The Exemplar Overclass came with a fine, white dress and a complimenting dual-cape. Perhaps it showed a little too much cleavage for her liking, but that was just part of the dress that was gifted to her from Mila, she knew better than to dwell on such things. Silque would wear this proudly.
"Congratulations, Silque. Shall we move on?" Alm asked with a smile.
"Indeed. I'd like to see just what I can do in my new class." Silque replied, turning back to her friends. They cheered her on as she climbed down the steps of the altar. She waved to them meekly. "Thank you all! I could not have done this without your help!"  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
