For the next few days leading to Kugish, Sashia split time Training hard to properly use her sword and Studying for the final exam. At the same time, Teone and Bertice began to know each other, with Teone teaching Bertrice not to hurt people when he gets mad. "Sorry I picked on you Earlier." Bertrice said. "It is ok." Teone said. Meanwhile, Axenia teaches Sashia a lesson in reflecting projectiles, as she throws the thunderbolts, and Sashia uses her sword to block them at ease. Soon, the day of Kugish arrived, and at Early dawn, Axenia and Sashia stood together watching the horizon sun begin to rise, even if it's dark out. "Orkono is growing angrier by the minute," Axenia said. "If we were to stop him, We must work together. We can also alert the other gods if Orkono breaks into our realm." Sashia said. "Indeed," Axenia said. "Your Training is nearly complete, your final lesson is taking down the big bad, Orkono, himself." She continued.
"I am ready." Sashia said, but then, a roar was heard. "It came from the woods. I better go check on them." Sashia said as she ran towards them. "Ok! Be back!" Axenia said. Meanwhile, Maizeno is showing off his new suit to another God named Opune. "What do you think?" Maizeno asked "it looks a bit spooky but very Nice! Perfect for Kugish!" Opune said, as he shifted into a buff owl ghost, being a god of ghosts in particular, yet neutral deity. "But it needs a few finishing touches. First, your pranks, where are they? Oh, right in the pouch, yeah! Second, Your money, your, umm, trick money, still in hand? Correct! Ding! Now, let us commence the journey to the Town where the best Festival is being held: Typona, in the Southeast Rokis Province!" Opune said. "Opune, you're a genius! And don't forget your secret ability!" Maizeno said. "You mean, oh right, I can use my ghostly ability to pull pranks! Tee hee." Opune said. He shifted back into a fleshy form. "We are all se then, let us pull the biggest pranks we…." Before Maizeno can finish, Sashia arrives. "Where is the sound heading from?" Sashia asked. "Coming from the nearby woods. Heard there is a Scaly Dragon there, a Fire breather who goes, Whoosh! Spew! Roar!" Maizeno said. "It has been in the news recently, could it be related to, orkono?" Opune said. "Dunno, i think i…" Before Sashia can finish, a roar is heard. "Gotta, go, Bye." Sashia said as she ran towards the woods. "What a Goddess." Maizeno said.
Soon, Sashia stepped into the woods nearby. It is not the same woods where she found the blade, but similar. "Stupid woods, always leading me astray." She said, Soon, she spotted another clearing, and there was a dragon, a red dragon, with magenta Scales on his belly and chest. Sashia approached the dragon, as it stood there, and drew her sword. "Who are you? And what are you doing here?!" Sashia said. The dragon then turned his body around and faced towards Sashia. "The better question to ask is, Who am i?" The dragon asked. "Your color scheme is similar to Orkono's. Do you work for him?" Sashia asked. "Work for him? Aha ha ha! I know him better than any other dragon in this nation!" the dragon said before breathing fire upward." What's the matter? Afraid of my bulky look?" he explained. The dragon has indeed a well muscled body. "I need to know where Orkono is right NOW! He is planning to break into the Crystal Amulet's resting place, the Realm of the good gods, and Swipe the amulet so he can become all powerful! And you must know where he is!" Sashia said. "Orkono isn't here or anywhere, but around." The dragon said as he sharpened his talons with his beaklike maw. "I just happened to know who he is right now. Do you wanna know?" he asked. "Yes?" Sashia Answered. "Good then," the dragon said. He then Tensed his body, and flames started to circle around it as he morphed. Scales gave way to Scaly/furry hybrid skin, wings shrunk to small size, and Claws Loosened, and muscles jolted and moved. His maw also changed to that of a Dragon/Sabertooth hybrid, and he grew tusks as well. The shifted Dragon then Flexed his arms, as the Changes escalated further, and his tail shrunk greatly, yet remained. Sashia gasped.
The dragon in reality, is Orkono, the very Dark god and Ruler of the Dark gods himself! "It is me! Orkono! Supreme Dark god of pure chaos, and ruler of the Dark gods that I sent to destroy you days ago!" he said. "Prepare to taste utter defeat! Orkono!" Sashia said as she charged at Orkono, only for him to push her back. "You think you can stop me this easily?" Orkono said. He then summoned a see through robe which covered his lower body. "I know all sorts of magic. Including Dark Magic, and tricky magic. And yes, I can shapeshift. The dragon you saw earlier was me." Orkono explained. "So YOU were the Dragon I met earlier!" Sashia said as she pointed her sword at Orkono. "Are you going to kill me?" Orkono asked. "I will and I can try to," Sashia said. "But, when me and you work together, we can achieve greater prosperity!" Orkono said as Sashia let her sword down. "Or, I just kill you and Corrupt Axenia, or I kill both of you." he continued. "Orkono, are you playing a trick?" Sashia said. "No tricks, no treats, nor ifs, nor buts, nor coconuts, nor Almond nuts!" Orkono said. "Just a little patience" he continued as he drew his Sword. "What other tricks can you do?" Sashia said. "I can do the unthinkable." Orkono said as he grabbed a Rat out of his pouch.
"Unthinkable dark magic, which can Ponder and make people think that they are hideous." he said as he morphed the Rat into a muscle gut plant monster. "If my minions obey, they are rewarded." Orkono said as he snapped his fingers and golden armor was summoned onto the plant monster. "But if they disobey, they are punished." Orkono said as he clapped his hands, and the Musclegut plant Monster withered until he was nothing but a mere Withered stem. "I can also do, More Black magic that I got after my corruption." Orkono said as he turned a Daisy into a Piece of Charcoal Glass. "And can cause utter chaos, and destruction." Orkono Grasped his hand and the Charcoal Glass Exploded like a bomb. "And all i need to become emperor of the Macrocosmos, is that very crystal amulet, your brethren have kept from me, for a very long time." Orkono said as he turned a patch of dirt into a Dark metallic spike. "So tell me, where is the amulet located within the realm?" Orkono asked. "I will never tell you." Sashia said, brave and bold. "Oh yeah? Orkono said as he morphed into a Snake and Coiled Sashia. "I think you will ssssssee that your best friend Axenia will sssssssoon fall, and I will become emperor of the macrocosmos, just wait and ssssssee." Orkono said. Sashia got herself out of the coil. "Leave me alone, and I will tell you." She said as Orkono Morphed back into his muscled Dragon Sabertooth hybrid form.
"You will? Today is Kugish, you know, the Spring Equinox. Katuria celebrates every year." Orkono explained. "Not now. If I tell you, Katuria will be in Grave Danger." Sashia said. "Oh yeah, I suggest you talk to Axenia first." Orkono said. How about a little Flashback to when i Escaped from the underworld?! Orkono said, before showing Sashia a vision from the day he officially broke free from his seal. That day, Chocune, a hulking white rabbit with hair covering his eyes, and a Scythe on his back, is standing near the cave that is the entrance to the underworld. Chocune grew bored, and wanted to Join the good gods to make Katuria a better place. Soon, he felt pain in one of his arms. He looked at the arm, and found a dark purple speck on it. Flickering it away, he felt the wind breeze onto his body. It wasn't a normal breeze, it was an alert Breeze. "The air," he said. I think something is not right. I think I'm afraid that the seal might weaken!" Chocune said to himself. "Or did it already?" a voice came from behind Chocune. It is Orkono back then, wearing his hooded cloth and acting very malicious. "Orkono." YOU RETURNED!" Chocune said before drawing his scythe.
"Oh, Mighty God of the underworld, you will succumb to my power!" Orkono said. "What do you want? Orkono?" Chocune said. "I need the crystal Amulet. Where is the Girl?!" Orkono Boomed. "I will never tell you." Chocune said. "Oh I think you will." Orkono said, as another hooded figure, Gullic back then, Grabbed Chocune, and Drained his muscles and Strength. "You will pay for this Orkono." Chocune said. Orkono waved his hand, and Chocune screamed in horror as he was petrified "Yes, now that he is taken care of, let us go down to business!" Orkono said. Both laughed as they took their hoods off, and laughed maniacally, before Orkono Choked and Coughed out something. "Hairball" Orkono said before continuing to evilly laugh as the vision ended. "So, You Drained Chocune's power, and petrified him! TRAITOR!" Sashia said, as she pointed her sword at Orkono.
"Kill me numerous times, I will always come back" Orkono said. "You can only bring back a petrified deity and restore his strength and muscle by a special chant, only Axenia knows, and since you didn't know, well, Boo hoo! You are a Total Coward!" Orkono said. He morphed back into a snake and Coiled Sashia again, this time, Sashia morphed into a snake herself. "See Sashia? Sss Soon you will succumb to death as I become emperor of the macrocosmos and I will get what I want." Orkono said. "Not this time, Orkono!" Sashia said as she morphed back into her muscular otter goddess form and stomped away. Orkono Shifted back into his muscular Dragon Sabertooth form as well. "You tell Axenia then. Tell her, I am going to the Realm right now to snatch the amulet, and she will be pissed that you sided with me." Orkono said. "You will wait and see Orkono." Sashia said. "I gotta tell Axenia the warning" Sashia said as she ran back to see Axenia. "FINE! RUN! I will break in anyway!" Orkono said. The fourteen Dark gods approached him. "What now?" Hacku said. "You follow my order, when I give the signal, attack the realm of the good gods, and I will Snatch the amulet! Ok? Ok? No? I take that as a yes. Besha, you're coming with me." Orkono said. "Finally, a Chance of redemption!" Besha said in excitement.
Meanwhile, Sashia Rushed back to Alert Axenia. "Axenia! Orkono is here! He is attempting to break into the realm of the good gods and steal the amulet! We need to stop him!" Sashia explained. "Huh? Here at last? You are right. Come on, It is time to show you your soon to be new home anyway," Axenia said before whistling. A flying cart flew down to Axenia and Sashia. "Hop in," Axenia said. Both goddesses hopped into the cart, and it flew to the entrance to the realm. "Sashia, Welcome to the Realm of the Good Gods." Axenia said.
