Legend of Ransera

For a moment, nothing happened. There was stillness. The drop of blood rest there on the diamond, neither moving nor anything miraculous happening…except for the fact that the drop did not move. It beaded on the surface of the diamond until finally, like passing through the surface of water, it dripped into the diamond and began to color it. Soon, Franky was staring at a blood red jewel. It was filled to the brim with Franky’s blood.

That was when the agony started. Franky’s hand spasmed as his skin began to sear with blistering pain. The very same pain that had burned him all those years ago. It coiled up from the ring and wound its way down to his bones, sizzling into his muscles and burrowing into his every nerve. Try as he might, any attempt to yank the ring off would fail. It was stuck to his finger. The twisting agony would be enough to drop Franky to his knees and leave him writhing on the ground in blinding pain. It reached his core, cutting through him as it bubbled into his lungs, sliced into his heart and finally spread outward to the rest of his body.

The fiery pain continued to grow worse as convulsions overtook Franky’s body. The experience went on, the sound of bones grinding and the sensation every part of him being seared away was all there was for what must have only been an eternity but in reality, was no more than a minute.

And then it was over.

The pain slowly faded, becoming nothing but a memory in the span of a breath.

A breath that was clear and deep. A breath that did not rattle. A breath that did not ache. A breath…that felt as if Franky was truly breathing for the first time in ages. Slowly, as he was able to gather his senses Franky could look up into the mirror and staring back at him was not the tired, withered old man wounded by the wars he had fought for his country.

Staring back at Franky was Frankorg the Scarlet Knife of Risea in all of his youthful glory.

The scarlet jewel of the ring shimmered softly, swirling with the blood it had been gifted.

Ring of Hidden Self - This ring will function for Franky and Franky alone. This silver ring holds a single jewel that appears to be a diamond upon inspection. Upon gifting the jewel with a drop of his blood, Franky will experience an excruciating transformation lasting no longer than (1) minute. He will be restored to the form and vitality of his youth, prior to being scarred by the horrors of the wars he fought. His physical strength and stamina however, are double that of what he was previously capable of, even at his peak physical condition. He is more durable in this form as well, being able to withstand greater adversity than ever before. Though not invincible, he is formidable while in this form. Once invoked, the form will last for twenty-four hours, at the conclusion of which, Franky will experience an excruciating transformation back to his normal state. He must then wait another twelve hours before he can invoke the transformation again. As his time runs out, the jewel on the ring will slowly revert from the blood red jewel to its clear diamond state. No matter what state he is in, to wear the ring is to always feel the continuously biting cold that it emits.
