"What's the goods?"-Nancy

"Well, there's a cool one that is rare to happen but can save a life, so that's useful, but I think I'm going to get the extra life span skill"-Jack

"That's always good hut only as long as they can actually live most of it"-Nancy

"Yeah, but the other option is backing up the races into a magical corner or having healthier environments with more nutrients from their corpses"-Jack

"That doesn't sound so bad they're is always going to be dead people and if the rixis rely on nature to a degree that could help"-Nancy

"I know, but I've got to think of my other races I'll get, which I'm surprised I haven't gotten, yet it's dragging along a bit"-Jack

"Well, if you put it like that, yeah, I mean, I can't remember how many skills you have it gets confusing"-Nancy

"Alright then, I want that skill system"-Jack

[]Yes host[]

[]Candidate skill Enhanced dna gained[]

"Nice another bullet in the chamber"-Jack

"Have you even held a gun?"-Nancy

"No, why?"-Jack

"I can just tell"-Nancy

"Oh, sorry, I can't go to my local wallmart and buy a desert eagle"-Jack

"That's stupid you can't get a desert eagle from a wallmart"-Nancy

"But you can still buy one"-Jack

"Yep, that's our god-given right to shoot a freak trying to mess with ya"-Nancy

"I understand. I'm sure god was waiting for the chance for you guys to run around shooting eachother"-Jack

"Aren't you from the place we're it's normal to be stabbed just from walking through your capital?"-Nancy

"Not all of it, just some of it"-Jack

"While I love your guys riveting debate on who can die quicker in your country, I think you're still in a galactic death game"-Nyx

"Very true Nyx thanks so now. All that's left is to send the army back to recover and keep back any remaining dark forces"-Jack

"We need to wait for this drought to end so we can recover from that as well"-Themis

1 month later, most of the army had moved back home, bringing the tales they held of their time fighting death. Many had burn marks and chopped off limbs from the fast war that happened.

One thing that came out of this was a new clan was born from it called the Shadow

flame stalkers and their leader were Peneb. In the aftermath, he no longer talked to Valel, and they parted ways, and he took the cloaked undeads body as his reward. And wore it as armour it was only after collecting all that he noticed people looking at him.

"What?"-Peneb

This war and his risky attack against the undead leader had changed him, and he didn't feel like the hero he wanted to be.

"What do you want!"-Peneb

There was around 60 Jackrixis looking at him amidst the rubble of the base that had been abandoned for now. It would be rebuilt later.

"You just going to look at me!"-Peneb

Finally, one stepped forward a young rixis male who had lost his hand and had a strange look in his eyes.

"We don't have anywhere to go"

More rixis started to speak up to Peneb.

"We wouldn't make the journey"

"I don't feel comfortable around them anymore"

"Things are different now"

These voices all seemed to merge together and hit Peneb straight in his heart as he wondered what they wanted.

"Okay, so what do you want me to do about it? I'm just here to take what I'm owed"-Peneb

The same young man from before spoke up once more.

"We know what you did. Some of us saw it. You are strong and brave, that is a person that can lead us and help us survive"

"So you want me to what be your leader or something"-Peneb

"If you'll have us"

They all kneeled down in respect to Peneb, and he didn't know what to feel he was so in his own head that he didn't notice the small guy next to him.

"Wow, lucky you Mr big shot now, aren't you"-Van

"Ah!"-Peneb

Standing next to him was a little blue he didn't know, but he knew for sure wasn't there a second ago.

Even stranger, it seemed as if those around him hadn't heard his shock as if a sound barrier was blocking any noise.

"Who are you?"-Peneb

"I'm nobody but an interested spectator, but can I give you some advice?"-Van

"Not really"-Peneb

"I'm going to any way to listen become their leader protect them and lead them wisely trust me it'll be worth it"-Van

"But what do I say to them?"-Peneb

"Don't worry, my sister made something for you. Just say what I say, don't worry, they can't see me"-Van

They all kneeled, and soon Peneb spoke.

"Okay i will be your leader because we are the leftovers, we are injured, bruised, we've charged into the darkness to face death and limped out into the light alive, but changed, we are the bearers of the dark flame that's haunts life, we stalk through the night to protect others from its twisting will. I will do my best to protect you and others from the blight of twisted death magic"-Peneb

"To the dark flame!"-Peneb

The crowd soon got up and cheered at their new family they created from the destruction cause by the war.

"One last thing"-Van

"Yes?"-Peneb

"You know all that white dust from the undead"-Van

"Yes, what of it?"-Peneb

"Use it, doesn't matter how just use it. Anyway, I'm going now"-Van

"Wait! You're not just some blue mate, are you?"-Peneb

All he got in return was a smile before the god of curiosity disappeared before his eyes, and he now turned to the white dusted desert that was made from the undead.

"First things first collect the dust of the undead well be using it for something later and then let's get moving out of this desert"-Peneb
