<strong><span class="bbc_u">03: Callista's Respite</span></strong><br/><br/>The floor quaked as the Shrouded One fell, but that was only due to coincidence. Time was hard to track here, despite what the adventurers felt with their intuition. The ocean's depths held nothing but darkness and despair, and those that ventured there would become aware of that without fail. The Deepscale God-King's birth that Hyuna and her team had been dispatched to stop had completed weeks ago. Choa, who had served as the vessel and life of the prophetic monster, had performed her tasks admirably. Her spectacular zeal for bouncing on top of Deepscale cock had provided just the right conditions for the return of their ultimate being. The God-King had been birthed.<br/><br/>The God-King had been nourished.<br/><br/>Now, the God-King had completely awoken. The entire ocean trembled at his might, and it felt like the world itself might split into two. The remaining heroines fell to their knees at the mercy of the relentless quaking, unable to keep their balance. A horrifying screech filled their heads as the God-King reared his head, ready to devour the world. The sounds of water bursting into the room could be heard; huge sections of the wall blasted open behind the force of rushing ocean, strong enough to instantly crush anything in its path. The entire chamber system was collapsing, and there was no way out.<br/><br/>A voice called out.<br/><br/>'Heroines, stand!'<br/><br/>The room filled with a light; so warm and soft was this light that it enveloped everything in sight. The seven adventurers found themselves fully clothed; they felt fully fed and more energized than they had ever felt. Not even a month of slumber could make them feel as rested as they were; the light of a greater being warmed their very souls. Even Lisa's dragon was back at their side, although Choa was nowhere to be seen.<br/><br/>'I am Callista, goddess of the Lightsworn,' a voice filled their heads. 'You must stop Myrreuim, or he will consume the world entire.'<br/><br/>The paradise of light in front of their eyes began to wane. The God-King was upon them, though they could not see him, they felt his presence.<br/><br/>'I send with you my blessing. May the Light guide your way.'<br/><br/>And all at once, the room went dark again, but the warmth in their bodies blazed hotter than ever. Four glorious monuments sprung up from the ground, and it seemed the collapse of the room was being held back by some power. The monuments cast a faint blue glow over the entire platform, which had turned into an island of sorts from the flooding. In front of their very eyes was the God-King himself. He looked more human than monster; a trait of the Deepscale, who absorbed those traits of the ones they consumed. Myrreuim stood at a seven foot tall, clad in scaly blue armor. A long, thick tail swatted the ground behind him.<br/><br/>'Go forth, adventurers!' Callista's voice echoed. 'Now is the time to fight!'<br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>You received Callista's Blessing.</li><li>All heroines leveled to 15 and have all ailments, and stats reset.
