Ronan felt a strong calling from the ring once he came within a 10 feet distance from the thing.
He felt enchanted as if the world around him had dissapeared completely as there was only himself and the ring now and it was calling it towards him.
Ronan walked slowly towards the ring , intrigued when he felt something stopping him from moving forward , as his shoulder was firmly held back by a familiar touch.
‘ Don’t go any further boy … ‘ Ronan heard a whisper in his ears , as the voice seemed very familiar but he could not make out whose voice exactly it was.
‘ Hmm … father? ‘. thought Ronan as he finally recalled whose voice it was , but before he could break out of his stupor , the ring came flying towards him and embedded itself to his thumb.
‘ AGHHHH ‘ Ronan’s physical body instantly lost consciousness as he felt mindnumbing pain throughout his body .
The ring started to constrict around his thumb as it embedded itself deeply across his skin and started to soak a little of Ronan’s blood.
The ring shone with brilliance and the power propagated from its surface throughout Ronan’s body as it started to shine too and Ronan could feel the golden thunder in his body starting to rampage.
Ronan felt the fusion of a terrifying force inside his body , as the golden thunder In his veins started to convert to pure thunder element .
Shockingly , Ronan’s golden thunder gladly started to suck the aura of destruction from its essence , hence effectively converting his golden thunder to just the normal thunder element..
The ring seemed to feed on the destructive force of golden thunder , as it fed on Ronan’s essence as if it were a beast who had starved for food for millions of years.
Ronan’s consciousness had been teleported into a seperate space as he was teleported to the mythical land of ‘ Kailash ‘ , as he found himself face to face with a meditating goddess.
Ronan instantly recognised the deity infront of him as he knew her all to well from the uncountable tales he had heard about her throughout his childhood.
She was Parvati , the wife of the god of destruction Shiva , the goddess of life and fertility who was kind and benevolent.
She was the better half of the god of destruction on most days , however she had the terrifying form of ‘ Maha Kaali ‘ too when she got angry , as she quickly transformed from the goddess of life to the goddess of death when angered.
The same godess who blessed Ravan with this ring all those years ago in her maha kaali form , was the one Ronan’s consciousness was teleported infront of now , as the ring chose it’s new master.
She was sitting closed eyes , as divine light radiated from the very pores of her skin , as she looked exactly like the fairytales that his mother used to tell him as a kid.
Incredibly and inhumanly beautiful , she was the perfect representation of an angelic face whose beauty one could get lost in. However it was the serenity of her expression that made one feel content from the moment they laid eyes on her.
As the goddess slowly opened her eyes , Ronan felt the pressure of a divine gaze as his knees buckled instantly , making him kneel before the goddess.
” Greetings Parvati Ma “
Ronan greeted the wife of the god of destruction with reverence as he used the title ‘ ma ‘ for her nickname as the mother of all living beings.
Parvati smiled at Ronan as she said ” Arise my child “.
Ronan felt the strength return to his feet at this moment as he stood up once more and nervously looked at the goddesses feet.
Ronan did not want to look flushed when he looked into the eyes of the goddess , hence to save himself from such embarassment he decided to look down and hide his face.
Parvati observed Ronan’s actions carefully as her smile widened and she said ” That ring on your finger once belonged to me . It was something that was forged by my husband for me to control my destructive impulses .
It’s name is ‘Mei’ , and it’ is a sentient object.
It feeds on the destructive elemental affinity and for a mortal like you it’s an excellent regulator for your powers , but the functions of that ring are much more wider than that.
Although you are too young and too weak at the moment ,for the ring to acknowledge you as it’s master means that you are bound for greatness my child.
I can see the burden of the prophecy that you carry on your shoulders and although i cannot intervene with your fate directly , i give you my blessing to become the new owner of Mei.
May your path ahead be filled with happiness and joy …. Farewell for now , but we shall meet again “.
Parvati flicked her hand and Ronan’s consciousness started to fade from that alternate realm.
Although Ronan did not know the legend behind the ring , it was a divine object crafted by the god of destruction Shiva himself. It was once a gift for Parvati however the sentient ring was given away to ravan after he earned himself three reward’s from the godess.
The ring chose it’s owner and for a millenia since Ravan’s death it had not chosen any new masters and Ronan was the first.
Every owner of the ring had to be approved by Parvati first and only then could they truly become the masters of the ring and it was the reason why Ronan’s consciousness was teleported to mount kailash to meet the godess of life.
What he had today was a once in a lifetime experience as she managed to get a few moments to talk with the godess of life herself , as it was an opportunity that even shakuni himself would kill for if he had to.
While Ronan did not understand the true nature of the ring on his finger , or the reality behind the prophecy that the godess talked about , he understood that the ring was something extremely precious and that it could help him control his destructive nature.
This was a huge relief to Ronan as the nature of his golden thunder greatly troubled him , as while the attack was very powerful in nature , it destroyed everything it came into contact with and that mad it very difficult to train in.
He could not spar with anyone using golden thunder as the enemy would die should they be hit with the destructive attack and overall it was very dangerous to train in too.
Although Ronan’s own skin was somewhat resistant to golden thunders corrosive properties , it would sting and burn a lot when the thunder came into contact with his bare skin as it destroyed a few thousand skin cells everytime that it did.
Moreover , with a spike in his anger and his emotions he sometimes lost control over the element which made him a walking timebomb.
The very idea of accidentally killing Sierra or grandmother Luna terrified him to no ends , as if such an event were to occur he would not even know where to start to process his emotions at.
It was exactly why he did not wish to return to the palace once he came back to the real world , but now with the ring to tame his powers he felt a sense of releif was over him.
‘ Thankyou mei ‘ he thought as he opened his eyes and regained consciousness.
He was in the royal infirmary it seemed , as a strange and heavy atmosphere had enveloped the room.
Sierra was sitting beside him looking out of the window and Percy was doing push-ups on the floor beside him.
Ronan coughed to get their attention as the two of them suddenly realised that he had woken up.
” RONAN “.
” Brother “.
both of them reacted instantly , as the next words out of their mouth were the same , as the both screamed ” DOCTOR “.
Ronan felt weird at the panicked reaction , but before he could even react at all the doctors swarmed into the room as they started to examine Ronan’s body.
A team of 4 doctors started to rigorously check every inch of Ronan’s Body as they even disturbingly looked into his ears and nose to check if there was something wrong there.
Ronan felt irritated as he said ” I’m fine mom … “.
however looking into Sierra’s fiery eyes his voice died mid sentence as he complied peacefully to the checking.
However When Ronan himself checked his body he was shocked to no ends.
His chest was smooth and his upper torso lacked all the visible marks of battle that were once so prominent.
His palms that were full of callouses were somehow baby smooth .
Even the toe that constantly hurt Ronan after he broke it in the cave of penance after going blind , no longer hurt as he could see that it was fully healed.
Apparently Ronan felt his body to be stronger and fitter than ever as he felt refreshed and energised.
Confused Ronan looked towards his finger as he thought ‘ What the hell is going on here … ‘.
