Chapter 4 - blood and fire

The sun began to set as Cassius climbed up a hill with a large forest elk on his shoulders and a bone spear in his hands, he reached the top and headed towards the cave that rested atop it. Cassius clothed in a tunic made of beast skin, removed the tree leaves he had used as camouflage to hide the cave and walked in, he dropped the beast and laid it on the ground embodying a primitive cave man.

'What a world' Cassius thought to himself as he skinned and butchered his prey and began to make himself dinner. Waiting for his meal to be ready he thought about his recent explosive awakening.

Cassius had received the bloodline of three primal beings, beings that dominated epochs, conquered worlds, slaughtered gods and demons. He had also awakened an innate physique one that equaled his recently acquired bloodlines. Both his bloodline and physique granted him a limitless potential and abilities that saw him each day stronger than the last.

After his awakening he received knowledge about his innate physique and bloodlines, abilities he was expected to receive along with skills and techniques of each primal.

His innate physique is called The physique of beginning and the end : the road his innate physique leads is toward dominion over the forces of creation and destruction, of beginning and end. He had received three passive abilities and two active, the first passive gave him an innate affinity to all elements and his second passive ability, his physique had the ability to adapt and evolve in short it meant what didn't kill him made him stronger.

His third passive ability was called child of ether. Ether was the energy that flowed through the world it's what allowed for cultivation to be something you can grab rather than dream, ether was the means of power and Cassius third passive ability meant he was beloved by ether and that came with a lot of benefits, it had brought a smile to his face when he received this.

Cassius physique also granted him two active abilities one was called {the eyes of beginning and end} it allowed him to see and gaze into the mysteries of the world, to understand the workings of heaven, eventually life, death and fate, to traverse space and time.

the second ability was called assimilation it granted Cassius the ability to seize one thing {it could be skills, traits, bloodlines or physique} from anyone that dies by his hands

His first bloodline that of The Primal titan granted him two innate abilities {primal titan wrath} an ability that saw him bring the might and power of the most ferocious of primal to bear upon his enemies and the world, if need be, the second was {Primal titan transformation} allowing him to transform into a primal titan

The bloodline of the primal fae granted him two abilities as well : the first was Cloning that allowed him to gain two clones with every breakthrough to a major realm, the second ability is called Beast master allowing him to tame and control beast, and as he continues to grow he will be able to fuse with the beast under his control as well as gain a portion of their abilities.

His third bloodline that of the primal chaos dragon only granted him one ability Dragon transformation allowing him to gain certain draconian characteristics and authority plus when Cassius fully master's this ability he will be able to transform into a fully grown dragon.

Cassius ate dinner with a smile on his face as he thought about his newly gained abilities 'awesome' was the thought on his mind as he drifted to sleep and that's when something unexpected happened.

Cassius was no stranger to dreams but this was different, he felt himself merge with the dream and suddenly he was no longer Cassius instead he had become a titan in a giant hall with the ceiling replaced with the night stars, he was seated on a large throne, dressed in a golden toga, a giant blade stuck in the ground by his side and kneeling before him were a couple of titans smaller than he was but still titans large enough to destroy entire planets and they were kneeling before him.

One of them spoke " my lord the abyssal giants have begun to march under the banners of the ninth abyssal lord ***** they have grown arrogant and believe they can replace us as one of the top races of the universe.

And then Cassius spoke as the titan king, it was in a different language but still he was able to understand " Am I a leader of sheep or a king of bloodthirsty wolves that feast on the flesh and bone of their enemies?"

"Bloodthirsty wolves" the titans chorused

"So, what are you waiting for gather your armies sharpen your weapons and destroy those who dare to think of taking what is ours, make them regret raising their blades in our direction".

And then the scene changed Cassius the titan king was no longer seated on a throne, Now they were on a large battlefield waging war that consumed the cosmos and Cassius was right in the middle of it, As he had merged with the titan king he experienced everything the swing of his blade, every cut that brought death upon his foes, his skillful control of his sword and the battlefield, the blood of a thousand giants upon his face 'how exhilarating' was the thought on Cassius mind.

Then the Lord of the opposite force approached with terrifying speed, the ninth abyssal lord clad in demonic armor and swinging his giant spear he charged at the titan king and then the titan king spoke {Titan Wrath} the aura and power of the titan king increased tremendously and before the abyssal lord could react the blade slashed at him with incredible speed and though the abyssal lord tried to block with his spear it was to no avail as both him and his weapon were cleaved in two.

The force of the blow was so powerful that it ended up decimating nearly half of the giants forces 'what a weakling' Cassius heard the titan king mutter to himself as giant blood dripped from his sword and then "finish them" the titan king proclaimed to his forces. The battle ended the titan's victory.

Just when Cassius thought the dream would continue, he was shaken awake, he was confused at first thinking he was still dreaming but the shaking of his cave and the loud sounds he was hearing made him realize he wasn't dreaming.

Boom Boom Boom

the sound echoed through the forest and mountain each filled with enough force and power that they quaked ferociously and so with a dangerous level of curiosity Cassius stepped outside and what he saw caused his jaw to drop.

the world before him had changed from the normal forest filled with the movements of beast and the sounds of little insects instead it had become a world filled with blood and fire.
