Chapter 8

Standing there with his mother at his feet, he crouched down to stare deep
into her eyes. Grasping at her own throat, a look of fear and surprise
flashed across her face as she gurgled to make a sound. Looking up to her
son, there was a pleading look as she reached out with one claw but Aubrasz
simply sat there watching. Waiting for that exact moment when his mother
would take her last breath and then move no more. Closing his eyes, Aubrasz
inhaled a deep breath and took in the iron smell of the room. He could feel
the warmth of the blood as it spread across the floor and over his claws.

A surge of power raced through him both a mixture of pleasure and pain which
caused his body to spasm and lock up. He could hear the blood rushing through
his body, feel his heart pounding loudly in his chest like the drums around
the fire. Never before had he experienced such a feeling, yet he longed for
it. He craved it and he knew finally what he had been missing in his life.
The whispers had not lied to him about this, which made him wonder what else
they were truthful about. What else did they know and what other promises
could be obtained? Where once he had no power, he could now feel the arcane
flow through him. And this power felt amazing.

As Aubrasz opened his eyes, the blood around him began to bubble and swirl
which surprised him but did not cause any alarm. As he intently watched the
blood swirl and congeal, it soon formed into a small lump and then into an
eye. Looking up at Aubrasz, he knew this was connected to that of the
whispers and was the first time he had any proof it was something greater
then just in his head. Sickly sweet the whispers came, praising him for bein
strong enough to embrace the Weh. And more so, the path of true power was now
open to him. A path which he had been blessed to walk, a path in which was
whispered to him that he must break the veil between the worlds.

Flood the world in Weh and Darkness, for it shall unleash a flood of the
arcane to sate his hunger. Release those whispers which have been sealed
behind the veil, and all this power and more shall be his.
