Lodos had never felt such raw power being blasted at his wards and protective spells before. The next volley was sure to send him back from the nether and into his corporeal form, at a time when he could ill afford it. But next came the voice "nothing is free in this plane of existence or the next said the scarab."
'' If I am to contract this with you what shall I receive from you as payment?'' Lodos was not sure but had an idea and said"I would feed you from the enemies you helped me defeat great scarab, no longer would you have to exert yourself but you could adventure alongside as a companion of mine until you see fit to terminate our agreement". The thunderous voice did not come this time but instead "Done", and just as quickly Lodos was standing in the containment chamber the psycho scarab glowing brightly upon the table in front of him. With no time to soon Lodos thought.
He knew his time of the great trails was near, by next full moon in fact. So with that in mind he know had to go about fashioning a construct of transport for his new companion. The combining of mystical and scientific forces was never an easy one Lodos already had something in mind that just might do the trick. Inside his studies was filled with databases of knowledge and lore computers not known amongst half of his universe.
His prized possession the multi dimensional printer he had himself built from years and years of research and study. This was what he would use to craft his new companions vehicle.
He was now in constant psychic bond with the scarab and updated the insect on the next phase of his plan. He would take technology and arcane weaving them through the multidimensional printer to fashion the staff that the scarab would now live in. It was necessary that an artificial atmosphere with the correct ratio of chemicals and protection for the scarabs comfort. This staff would be coded to only be held by himself an no other could touch it or risk being devoured by the scarab itself the scarab agreed that this would be satisfactory and cooperated fully.
The dust from the inside of the scarabs protective shell along with the night shade genus was combined and the orb of protection mounted within the top of the staff completed. The insect climbed inside and was quite pleased. The staff had the ability to continuously recycle the necessary chemicals as needed and the insect looked to be quite at home "
