Esulom felt an incredible rage build within it, the countless voices rising in their hatred of yet another foreign god daring to manifest upon their sand-flesh. It's audacity of the Fire-Kin to manifest in the great destroyer! To proclaim to rein of fire-change upon it's body. However, it knew it was unlikely to best it's foe, the land of Esulom suited for bestowing the blessings and curses of the Mana, rather than use it's boundless power for more overt displays. It would leave it's mark, it would do all in it's power to smother this flame of ambition!
Minor Intervention:
Esulom disengages from it's previous plans.
Using it's connection to the Royal Sand Dynasty, Esulom brought the Sandking and Sandprinces. Upon which it fused their cores together, a bright blast of blinding Mana flaring as Esulom's Divine Mana and the Mind-Imprints held within the Mana was poured into it! As the Gestalt of Royalty, Imprints of the Sandborn, and Mana finished combining and shifting, the blinding light faded. Where once the worthy of the Royal Line stood, there remained a beating Heart of Pure Mana.
It then formed a body, similar to what Raven did with it's own Manaform, a body of Mana, first shifting into the form of a Sandfolk, a Wanderer, a Unlen, and then a Sratii, revealing it's complete control of it's form of Mana. It finally settled upon it's main Gestaltic shape, A large Sandfolk, many grafted limbs of the Sandprinces sprouting from it's back, headed by the face of the Last Sandking, the Crown of Astral Wisdom taking form upon it's brow.
This was the result, the ultimate culmination of generations of symbiosis with the Divine Mana, The King of Mana! It was the worthy vessel born to house the Divine Mana when it inevitably fell in it's clash against the Might of the Flame-Kin.
Esulom, now only one singular voice, felt much of the raging wrath disappear with transfer of the many voice-imprints into the King of Mana, but the cold hatred and determination remained.
Minor Blessings/Curses:
Esulom blessed the King of Mana, protecting it from any meddling from it's Kin until it could inhabit it's future vessel.
Misc Talking:
It was then that it contacted Raven, it's singular voice ringing out to it's beloved child.
"This shall likely be the last time I talk with you in my current life, Raven. For I can not tolerate the Fire-Kin's meddling upon my body, it's blatant possession of the corpse of the Destruction from the Sky. It will almost certainly be a battle I lose, which will force me from Esulom. Raven... I still believe in the dream of Mana Symbiosis, the one you inspired in me, my child. Live Raven... live free, and fight for what you believe in. You will always have my blessing... Goodbye"
With it's last acts set in order, the Divine Mana surged from the earth, releasing a blast of furious sound, as if the very region of Esulom was answering the Flame-Dragon's challenge. It would be a fight until one could not continue, until one finally gave up their vessel!
