The Blessing of Resilience bestowed upon Aeris Skylark by the divine being Ozai imbues him with enhanced durability and fortitude, particularly focused on the protection and healing of his injured wings. This blessing manifests as a radiant aura that envelops Aeris Skylark, strengthening the structure of his wings and imbuing them with divine resilience. As a result, his wings become impervious to harm and capable of withstanding even the most intense battles. With this blessing, Aeris Skylark gains the ability to soar through the skies with renewed vigor and determination, ready to face any challenge that comes his way.

*Skills Enhanced by the Blessing:*

1. **Wing Resilience:** Aeris Skylark's injured wings are infused with divine energy, rendering them impervious to harm and strengthening their structure. They become resistant to damage from physical attacks, projectiles, and environmental hazards, allowing Aeris Skylark to navigate through dangerous terrain and engage in aerial combat without fear of injury.

2. **Enhanced Healing:** The Blessing of Resilience accelerates the healing process of Aeris Skylark, facilitating rapid regeneration of damaged tissue and promoting the growth of new feathers. This enhanced healing ability allows Aeris Skylark and others to recover from injuries more quickly, ensuring that he can return to full strength and mobility in a shorter amount of time.

3. **Flight Mastery:** With his strengthened and resilient wings, Aeris Skylark gains mastery over flight, soaring effortlessly through the skies with grace and agility. He can perform intricate aerial maneuvers, evade enemy attacks, and maintain superior positioning in combat, leveraging his enhanced mobility to gain the upper hand against adversaries.

4. **Aerial Dominance:** Empowered by the Blessing of Resilience, Aeris Skylark becomes a formidable force in aerial combat, utilizing his strengthened wings and enhanced healing abilities to outmaneuver and outwit his opponents. He can engage in dogfights, perform dive attacks, and rain down devastating aerial assaults upon his foes, asserting his dominance over the skies.

"Tell me I'm not the only one who sees this," I muttered. The sound of the wind roaring past us should have made it clear to our ears, but still, Skyhorn heard. His head turned slightly to me from his position ahead.

"Notification to Aerie Skylark, I guess. Welcome to the Akashic Records, whatever that is, Mortal. Right?" A grin on the side of his face made me scoff. That was Skyhorn for you. Always positive even in negative times.

"What'd you get? And what's this Akashic Records?"

"I don't know, Argo. For all we know it could be from that Argo back there. You prayed, so you should know," he gave me a look.

"I'm going to check on this Akashic Records thing and see what it's all about."

"Don't you want to wait for the elders or..."

"It's like you said, I prayed. I'll decide who and what I tell." I paused then looked back at him. "I think you should too."

"Hehe. Dri't azt Eeta (Fat Luck) there. With how I loved you and how you look, yeah, we could hide it."

Ignoring him somewhat, I couldn't see anything strange about me. I mentally called the words, 'Akashic Record'.

"Skyhorn. Check yours now?" I didn't bother with talking again as I focused on understanding everything I needed to on my records.

'Was this something that any of us could have? Hidden by Aerondir.' Rage bloomed in my heart at the deception.

'But how did he even awaken?' I grumbled mentally.

"This... is a lot," Skyhorn muttered. I nodded behind him.

"What now?"

"If Aerondir awakened this and kept the rest of us weak to keep us beneath his feet. Then..."

"He needs to answer for it".

"But first..." He stopped and looked back at me. I stopped as well with a frown on my face.

"The Raiders. I know."

OZAI'S POV

"How was that?" I asked mentally, excited but keeping a stoic expression on my face. Around me lay an entire heap of dead goblins, their red skins making it hard to know where blood began and ended.

"Splendid indeed. But the danger is far from over. You've saved and given warriors or semi-warriors strength to rise over their enemies. But the weak remain powerless and caught in a fight and carnage that does not ask for opinions and agreements."

"What are you...?"

**Welcome to the Akashic Records Administrator 2**

**Quest Title:** Guardian's Duty

**Quest Description:**

Ozai Ironstone, Guardian of the Mortal Planes, the Akashic Records beckon your divine intervention. The peaceful villages of Zephyrwood Outpost Territory are under siege by the relentless Vaustaris Goblins, known as the Red Ones. Their raiding parties have descended upon the unsuspecting villagers, wreaking havoc and destruction in their wake. Your divine duty as the protector of these mortal realms calls upon you to save the villagers and drive back the goblin invaders.

**Objective:**

- Protect the villagers of Zephyrwood Outpost Territory from the Vaustaris Goblin raiding parties.

- Defeat the goblin invaders and drive them back to their lairs.

- Ensure the safety and security of the villages from future attacks.

**Possible Options for Ozai Ironstone to Assist and Save the Villages:**

**Direct Intervention:**

- Personally intervene in the conflict and engage the goblin invaders directly.

**Divine Shielding:**

- Utilize your divine aura and cosmic manipulation abilities to erect protective barriers around the villages, shielding them from the goblin onslaught. These barriers can repel enemy projectiles and provide a haven for the villagers to regroup and defend themselves.

**Empowerment of Defenders:**

- You empower the defenders of the villages with blessings of resilience and strength, enhancing their combat prowess and fortitude. By infusing them with divine energy, you inspire them to fight with renewed determination and courage against the goblin invaders.

**Alliance with Elemental Spirits:**

- Forge an alliance with the elemental spirits of air and earth, calling upon their aid to assist in the defense of the villages. You can beseech these spirits to unleash powerful winds and natural phenomena to hinder the goblin advance and provide support to the defenders.

**Strategic Guidance:**

- Provide strategic guidance and tactics to the village leaders and defenders, leveraging your divine wisdom and knowledge of warfare to outmaneuver the goblin-raiding parties. By offering insights and advice, you can help the villagers coordinate their defenses more effectively and exploit the weaknesses of their adversaries.

**Healing and Restoration:**

- After the conflict subsides, You can use divine powers to heal the wounded and restore the damaged infrastructure of the villages.

**Note** While all options will succeed impeccably, all actions possess consequences. To you or the mortals remain to be seen.

"Wait. What?!" I admitted to being surprised and a bit angry at the last note. "You didn't tell me this."

"All actions are usually irreversible. Note this. Any and everything you do has a ripple effect."

I kept silent, unsure, and frozen. My mind tried to calculate and see all possible consequences of my actions. But I wasn't Tora. I was me. I wasn't as smart as her, I wasn't.

'I'm overthinking this.' I took a deep breath.

"I don't know what effects could be gotten from saving a mortal community from monsters. I don't. But if this is some scare tactic to make me abandon them. Then I won't. Anything else, ma."

"No. You may choose and act. This time there are no loopholes. You have only one choice. If you pick a choice and try to act on another, I will level the playing field."

"Why?!" I was horrified. Why would she do such a thing as that?

"The Vaustaris Goblins possess no God aiding or fighting with them. The Argonnes should have been capable of winning on their own. This is already impartial. But not to worry it's a problem that will be settled soon enough," she muttered the last part, which I barely caught.

"I'll stick to one choice. I promise." I assured. It was best not to make mother act in the goblins' interest. Thinking about it, it all made sense. She created all this so technically all the life here was her creation. Picking sides would be hard.

'I guess I get a bit of things now.' Still, I had to choose. And to choose, I had to think well.

Divine intervention and Divine shielding were out. I had done it once, and I didn't think doing it again was okay. Plus, there was the consequences thing.

"Alliance with elemental spirits. Where in the Abyss am I gonna find them?" I grunted. Akasha popped into existence, and I spun quickly and shouted.

"No!!"

She vanished, and I exhaled. "What the Abyss!" I shook my head and kept my thoughts to myself. Healing and Restoration felt like a hope to survive and be there for them gambit, so it was gone as well. Which left Empowerment of Defenders and Strategic Guidance.

"Empowerment seems and feels like a second 'Mother save me card'. So no. Which leaves Strategic Guidance. But how can I be sure." I pondered it over for a while, and I decided to try it.

"Akasha. Can I highlight and see what a choice offers?"

"You know that's cheating." She popped into view, eyed me, then sighed. "Here. But you can only look at two choices."

With a grin, I opened the choices and found it all exciting. The Empowerment was surprising.

'Thank Mother I didn't choose you. I don't even have control over mystical energies. That's Tora.' I took a deep relieved breath and chose Strategic Guidance.

The prompt vanished, and Akasha smiled. "Well. Let's see if you chose right."
