Zena's POV
[Wake up, Anderson! Your nightmare is over.]
[Prepare for your appraisal...]
Head pounding, Zena awoke. Grabbing for her head. Confused at where she was, she was the strings the made up everything in the place she was floating in.
She felt almost hypnotized when staring at the strings as if each string meant something. Yet before she could stare for too long the Spell announced.
[Aspirant! Your trial is over.]
[A girl raised by an ascended of the Beast God's kingdom. Yet, the protection the ascended brought with him vanished. The one who brought her blood. Was dead. In her frenzy for blood she killed many. To many to overlook for her talent in hunting. She fell, and her brother followed without hesitation. They ran to the giant forest. The warriors of the Beast Kingdom could not follow into the land of War. They ran. Unfortunately, the affects of the clash between a Sacred and and Cursed caused the ruin of the forest. The girl and her brother fought to survive in the end. The girl protected her brother who could not fight like her to the best of her ability. Suppressing her bloodlust. In the end. They survived.]
[You have slain a dormant beast, Juvenile Corpse Eater]
[You have slain a dormant beast, Juvenile Corpse Eater]
[You have done what is thought was impossible]
[Final appraisal: Magnificent. Your hunting instincts are unmatched.]
"Anderson did it. He managed to get us to the peak." Tears of joy fell from her eyes. The suppressed fear of death finally wore off. "We survived."
[Dreamer Zena, receive your boon!]
[You have been bestowed a True Name: Remorseful Hunter]
"A True Name!. How? I didn't do much in the nightmare? How was I able to get a true name? Anderson was the one who got us to the top of the mountain." Yet as her questions increased the Spell continued.
[Your Aspect is ready to evolve. Evolve Aspect?]
Still in shock from the previous information, Zena confirmed, "Yes"
[Dormant Aspect Savage Hunter is evolving...]
[New Aspect acquired.]
[Aspect Rank: Sacred]
"WHAT" Zena's eyes widened, "SACRED, how?"
"How did I get sacred?"
She somehow felt just like Anderson, as she knew no one had a sacred aspect.
"It must be my attribute. It must be." Yet as time passed it remained constant. But the Spells silence didn't.
[Aspect Name: Hunter's Dream]
Innate Aspect Ability: [Frenzy's Instinct]
Once the Spell stopped Zena instantly opened her runes

Innate Aspect Ability: [Frenzy's Instinct]
Innate Aspect Ability Description: [You are one with the hunt. You enter frenzy where your instincts are at the Apex of all. For you are a true hunter. Craving the blood of Prey.]
Unfortunately for her the Spell continued before she could truly process the information.
[The First Seal is broken.]
[Awakening dormant powers…]
The second the Spell ended, the heat started. Starting in the chest. It felt as if the sun was blessing her with the warmth of summer. The heat started to spread to her arms, legs, and finally her head. Then came the energy. She looked at her chest and saw what could only be described as a star. Shining bright the energy flowed. Every fiber of her being felt it. The reconstruction of her body into one which could hold her power. She felt incredible.
Floating in space, the world around was ignored until the Spell spoke again.
[Awakening Aspect Ability…]
Hearing this her mind instantly focused again.
[Aspect Ability acquired.]
[Aspect Ability Name: [Legacy of the Dead]
Seeing this she quickly opened her runes again.
Name: Zena
True name: [Remorseful Hunter]
Rank: Dreamer
Blood Core: Dormant
Blood Fragments: [0/1000]
"What the hell are blood fragments? Its not soul fragments, but all the stories talk about soul fragments. What in the world are blood fragments. What is the difference."
She kept contemplating it. However, she could not reach any conclusions while in her current state of floating. So she kept reading.
Memories: [Shredding Maw]
Echoes: ___
Attributes: [Bond of Delusion], [Mark of Divinity].
Aspect:[Hunter's Dream]
Aspect Rank: Sacred
Innate Aspect Ability:[Frenzy's Instinct]
Aspect Ability Name: [Legacy of the Dead]
Aspect Ability Description: [The dead's journey ended by your hand. A hunter does not waste the prey's journey. So what better way to continue their journey than the way it fought in its life.]
"Ok I got a good set of abilities. I couldn't imagine have a sacred aspect and it being useless."
"I guess I am fated to become a hunter. I mean could be worse. Could be the one who manages everything."
However, the spell abruptly started again.
[All power has a price.]
[You have received a Flaw.]
[Your Flaw is: Accompanied]
"Oh thank the gods. I thought that it was going to be bad"
"Lets see what it means" as she says this she opens her runes for the third time.
Skipping past most the runes she went right to her flaw.
Flaw: [Accompanied]
Flaw Description: [You are accompanied by those you slayed.]
"WHAT!"
"That's so much worse. Is this some cruel joke. Giving it such a harmless name."
"And my aspect is meant for killing. Its literally call Hunter's Dream for crying out loud."
"AHHHHHHHH, WHY ME!"
"Deep breaths, deep breaths. It will be fine I can just have a cohort get the final fit on everything, right?"
As her ramblings went on the Spell continued.
[You have gained an attribute: Blood Lust]
Yet that was not all.
[Your Attribute is evolving]
[You have lost an Attribute.]
[You have gained an Attribute: Link to Delusion]
[Wake up, Remorseful Hunter]
