"I" you begin "I can wait for later when I am more trained to sufficiently undertake such a task" you reply.

You are not certain the look the Crimson King has in his eye, he just stands there and looks so faceless <That is your decision to make Shirou, know this caution is not cowardice nor is it wrong to be cautious. leaping in feet first will more often than not land you in dangerous situations that you will struggle to get out of.> The Crimson King now pauses <but there should always be a limit to your caution as there is never any reward without risk, sometimes being cautious can also lead to defeat, keep that in mind.>

You get the feeling that Magnus would have complimented what you did right and then told you how to improve no matter which answer you gave, he is a good teacher like that, generous with his praise but also equally generous with his advice. "Thank you Magnus Sensei" you state with a polite bow of deference and thanks.

<Since you seek to better yourself I will once again provide you with some assistance on this path> Magnus states as the world around you vanishes.

You find yourself in front of a blazing furnace that has five brands that seems to be waiting to be plunged into the furnace.



<Athanaean, Corvidae Pavoni, Pyrae, Raptora> The Crimson King states each words resounds as if it has power shaking the ground beneathe your feat and making embers fly from the furnase as each respective brand glows as it's name is invoke. <The The Athanaean were practiced masters of the discipline of telepathy, and were able to transmit their thoughts and read the thoughts of others> Magnus informs you as the brand in the shape of the eye glowed.

<The Corvidae were skilled in the psychic discipline of precognition, determining the likely probabilities of future events.> This too glowed in turn this time it was the brand in the symbol of the Raven's head.

<The Pavoni had developed the psychic discipline known as physiokinesis. Physiokinesis allowed the Pavoni to manipulate body chemistry and physiology within themselves as well as others. Skilled practitioners of physiokinesis were able to alter their physical appearance by manipulating the physical characteristics of their facial features at will as well as making themselves immune to the harmful effects of dehydration and other physical ailments. They also were masters of using lightning from their own biochemistry> The Brand of the feather shone in response as Magnus spoke.

<The Pyrae were pyrokinetics, meaning that they had developed the ability to both generate and control fire, the power for which was drawn from the Warp. The Pyrae could both generate lethal bursts of fire from their bodies that they could shape into a number of different forms, including projectiles fired from their hands as well as fire shields that could hold back foes and melt away incoming weapons fire. The Pyrae could manipulate existing or standing sources of fire and with their connection to the Warp could lower the temperature of flames striking their own bodies or the bodies of others, effectively making them immune to the effects of fire or great heat. They aslo had the power to manipulate technology known as technopathy.> The symbol of what seemed to be a whole raven glowed to signify that it was the Pyrae.

<Last but not least is the Raptora they were gifted practitioners of the psychic discipline called telekinesis, and were known as telekines. In battle, a Raptora Cult member could psychically fling physical objects at their enemies or rip their enemies bodies' apart through the application of immense telekinetic power drawn from the Immaterium. When used defensively, telekines could generate barriers of invisible kinetic force known as "Kine-Shields" to block physical attacks on themselves or others.> The claw symbol of shone brightly too.

<Now Shirou> The crimson King booms <taking in one of these brands will greatly increase your growth rate in that area, you need not worry I have ensured that it will not stunt or hinder your growth in other area's The question is which one will you take?>

What has brought this one Why is the Crimson King doing this? Has he seen a future that is unavoidable, Is there some trail to come? Looking up to the Crimson King's all seeing eyes you get your answer, there is. But what is it?
