Chapter 136 - [89] New light

A full millennia ago, when humans were still learning to survive. They weren't the only ones who walked on earth. Other nightmarish creatures such as the originators, magical beasts, and otherworldly powerful beings walked the same earth, creating chaos and destruction.

Among them, the originators were the ones that caused most chaos in African side of things. Even before Wakanda, this place had a harsh environment to live in.

A few brave warriors faced those said creatures, sealing them. But doing that cost them their lives. The great warrior Bast was the only one left of the brave warriors. She for her bravery was worshipped as a god.

But even she knew the forces of nightmarish creatures would be too much for her, if let loose. So she guarded the gate with her own blood. And choose champions that carried her own blood as rulers.

Some time later Wakanda was born. With it, Bast's champions were named Black Panther, the protector of Wakanda. Her avatars carried her blood that was more valuable than the metal they protected.

And no one knew that, she made sure to keep it a secret. But she had failed, and looking at the gate opening, she felt disappointment and pity. One of her own, the daughter of the previous Black Panther, suffered for it.

The world would be soon engulfed in chaos once again. She felt dreadfully, until she heard the shriek cry of Evil itself. A cry so venomous that made her shiver.

Then she saw, and became afraid of whatever it was, a evil far worse than the nightmarish creatures. An embodiment of Evil, rising from the darkness, commending the shadows, destroying and consuming chaos itself.

In her long life she saw the birth and fall of many kings and powerful beings, but even then a being that was capable of sending shivers to one of the gods of death, Bast. Was rarely seen.

She watched as all things happened. How the darkness beast engulfed the Vanyan in a battle, easily defeating the Originator. She was mesmerized by the cruelty, the darkness beast showed to its enemies.

Thinking about it now, even she was surprised. The darkness beast was a being that called himself as Max, an otherworldly creature not from this planet and now had taken the form of an ancient dragon.

She had warned her champion of him, even using her cosmic awareness couldn't determine his fate. As if he wasn't there.

Even when the otherworldly creature stole the heart shaped Herb and the mystical metal she didn't protest. She let it be. She figured out a long time ago, not to interfere with mortal things. But now she had to know who this creature was.

And from the look of it he was still trying to save one of her children, Shuri was her name, daughter of King T'Chaka, a talented thinker. She was most certainly dead, but the creature still tried to save her.

Which was a great way for her to bargain with maybe she could do some favours. But then again, he did save his champion once before.

So, she summoned his consciousness to the ancestral plane.

Max was surprised when he woke up in this place. Long field of barren land, patches of greenery stretched across the horizon, while purple-blue clouds fluttered in the sky. It would have been a mesmerizing scene if not for the fact that it was lifeless, unusually so.

'So this is the Ancestral Plane?' he thought. But looking around he saw no one, he was expecting a few panthers, but maybe he wasn't lucky enough.

But then something else happened. The ground in front started taking shape, as ashes rose from the ground, levitating in air, conjuring a female body.

She was tall, unusually so, maybe four meters or so. But even then she looked attractive, with black tribal clothes that hugged her in all of the right places, white colored tattoos that ran down her chocolate dark skin, black shiny hair and a body of a goddess.

Max was expecting a cat-headed creature to appear as Bast. Not a half-giant supermodel.

She looked attractive, yes, but what truly caught Max's attention was her aura. Shockingly so it was similar to Felicia. Which made no sense. But then again, why was he even trying. This world didn't make sense.

Max was the first one to break the silence. He had to look up, to see her. "I presume you are Bast?"

"Yes, I am." She said, her voice was silvery with a fierce undertone. "And why might you be here?"

Max raised an eyebrow, she didn't ask his name. So she knew him, he was expecting the so-called goddess to know everything n all, but this was a little scary. "I am here to take back Shuri."

The goddess hummed before smiling, flashing her pearly teeth, "Shuri, ah yes, daughter of T'Chaka. It was sad that her life ended, she was still soo young." She said conjuring an image of Shuri in the air. "But I don't see why I would let you take her. She would be better here, free from mortal duty.—"

Max glared at her. And she smiled as if he was flirting.

"—Unless of course you can give me something that I d.e.s.i.r.e." She said, "But from what I can see, you have nothing. So let me make a deal…"

Her speech was cut off when another portal started forming in the ancestral plane.

Max looked worried, who was it now. Not another wizard, he hoped.

And a female figure came out of said portal. She had worn a red one piece dress, with red hair and fair white skin. She also had red visor glasses over her eyes and a white spider logo on her c.h.e.s.t that stretched wide.

And Max was confused, a spider-man? Or woman? This day was just getting more wired.

"Greetings Lady Bast." The newcomer said nodding at the giant women.

The panther goddess sighed, rubbing her head, "This will take long." She said, conjuring herself a throne to sit on. "And why might you be here, Madam Web." She said as he rested on her throne, legs crossed, trying to look bored. But underneath she knew things were getting interested, things were always interesting with Madam Web.

That was news, even for Max. 'Madam Web?'

Madam Web flashed a small smile, then she looked over to Max. Before moving her attention to Bast. "Lady Bast, if I am not wrong you are willing to grant Max's wish if he had anything that has your interest."

Bast raised an eyebrow, before nodding. "Well, yes. If he has anything that interests me." She said. But she was betting that Max didn't have anything on him. She had plans for him, maybe even make him her champion or her knight, Wakanda could always need a black knight with how much the world was changing.

Madam Web's smile widened. "As a matter of fact he does."

"I do?" Max asked, "I do." He trusted Madam Web, and hoped he wouldn't regret it.
