The approach of the end ahead...
You've come so far, and yet, the greatest task is still laying before you. The sum of all challenges, conflict, emotion, power.
The first test - Soul. Alizlia tested you personally, pressing her darker power into your veins, assaulted your very core, your very being. The continual struggle with the poison like attack awoken something within, and it was very much alive. It desired survival. Like an explosion of power, your soul struck back, and overpowered the unaware Avatar. Such a display surprised Alizlia, and she left, leaving you bitter. As time went on, you understood the importance of creating the desire within.
The second test - Mind. This time, Rithyrn tested you personally, by giving a series of questions, each designed to create different outcomes through which order of choices you took. The choices made, may of been the ethical, but not of the logical, and it gave you trouble in the end. But your desire to succeed overcame the obstacle, and you ended successfully, gaining wisdom.
The third test - Spirit. You were escorted to the cells by Aenima, under the orders of Alizlia. Here, you met one of the ancient Gifted Ones - Nephthys. This extra-ordinary creature once possessed the power to contain Kich'ravell, but now controls the stability of the void, eternally wandering this barren existence. It was then that the test of the power of the spirit was understood. Over great physical anguish and torture, the creature wished you to give in to safety, but you did not. It was ended with a success for the greater cause. The message and moral was that in times of hardship, the end of the darkness and the light of the eternal drew near.
The fourth test - Body. This was different that expected. It was not to test your body, but of someone elses - A small boy. Following the fire path of life, dialogue took place, advising that the body is to be cherished; The body is your temple, and is deserving of respect. This small boy looked up to you for sanctum, and you provived with your words. You helped him overcome his abusive father, a half-fiend, and arose him to new power, A Greater Planatar for his god. With the body, success can be achieved, but without one, nothing will be.
The fifth test - Transcendence
:: Our souls, she whispered... can -only- be achieved... ::
:: ...through death. ::
