/High above the skies, Somewhere in Celestia/
The warmth of the scorching hot sun was extremely different compared to the land, the land that was located in the skies tasted the freshest air present in all of eryndral. Structures that were straight out of a fantasy novels with each of them having their own uniqueness and grandness to them that signified the difference between the celestial land and the actual land of eryndral.
Many structures stood tall but the tallest one was the one where the eternal flame is located or at least was located, now, it serves as the main stronghold for the corrupt Erectivialia, who reign as the one with most power in all of eryndral.
Going deeper inside the most secured walls in Celestia, it is where the eternal flame is located. The structure or stronghold as it is known as now, is massive and it contains various different rooms all over it, with the room in which the eternal flame is kept being in top and the room where the Erectivialia resides being just below it.
Who!? So, your saying that the man who is supposed to be behind the scenes, pulling the strings was the one who front lined? What is he doing!? That fool still has the "protagonist complex"? I thought he got over it. —Change in his voice settled, a more calm and composed tone— Cyg. Deneb, can you explain the situation we have going on in great detail? You are close to him aren't you? He must've discussed with you at least before his departure.
The words were spoken by him, the one ruler of celestia or also know as the Erectivialia. His words matched his appearance, striking and majestic. At first glance, his appearance was as majestic as one could possibly imagine. His sharp and symmetrical facial features made him look like a piece of art but upon closer inspection, one could easily guess his true nature. corruption has marred this ideal beauty—cracks run along his cheekbones and temples, glowing faintly with ember-like energy that pulses as if alive.
Yes, your right my highness! Him and i have known each other for a long time but unfortunately he only said a few words, even to me, before his departure. He said "the years of hardwork of our highness could depend on one single bitch that escaped from our grasps, we cannot take such risks, even if her chances of survival are very low, unless i see her dead face from my very own eyes i cannot stand by."
Kneeling down just in front of the Erectivialia who was seated on the throne that had similar appearance to that of the Erectivialia. The figure spoke with great respect as each of his words escaped his mouth with his head bowing down to the Erectivialia who listened to his words with great care.
Besides the Erectivialia and the one bowing in front of him, there were various other figures. Some were sitting on the smaller thrones which was similar to thatbof Erectivialia but smaller in size and some were just standing voluntarily in front of their seats.
I don't know him personally but his act of bravery is enough for him and i to be connected as i stand here as the bravest of all. of course, excluding you my highness. The smaller the problem, the greater the damage it will bring. I wholeheartedly respect the descension of such brave soul.
Among the ones who were standing in front of their seats, one spoke with a loud and proud tone in his voice. Even though he was the smallest in the room, his voice was definitely the loudest as the Erectivialia who's seat quite far from them was hearing him loud and clear.
His act may be brave but not all brave acts end up actually being good.
This time the voice came from one of them who was seated quite comfortably with her legs seated where the arm is supposed to be rested in a seat, calm voice which was alluring in a way, she spoke directly to the Erectivialia.
Care elaborating a bit more? Cas. Schedar?
The Erectivialia met his gaze with her while questioning her who liked keeping quiet most of the times, at least while being compared to the loud one's such as the loud guy from before, Crux. Acrux.
A dark omen is what i saw above his head, the "brave" act of his could be the triggering of his dark omen and when i say dark omen, i mean it. The least that could happen to him is his death and that being the least that could happen is more than enough for you all to understand how dark it can get, right?—She said while slowly covering her face in her dark hood, returning to her usual sight —
Upon hearing the words of someone titled "Mystic of Fate", there was nothing left to be questioned. The "constellation of Erectivialia" was already one member short because of Yasmine but one more member could cause too much damage to not only the constellation of Erectivialia but the celestial life itself as, each of the "stars" in the constellation of Erectivialia serves a great purpose that makes life in Celestia possible.
Let me help lend a hand on this one, my highness. I think my powers would be the most suitable for quickly navigating his locations and bringing him back.
Another figure showed himself from the dark, his white hair and blue eyes made him naturally stand out but he finally spoke up.
Aur. Capella! When did you get here? Forget that, you've already finished your "usual task"? That you joined today's celestial meeting? You didn't really have to but since your already here and willing to lend a hand, why would i decline your help when you are the most consistent member who provides regular goods.
Seeing the Erectivialia obviously giving special attention to the member who had apparently just shown up to the meeting, Crux. Acrux had a displeased look on his face but it only lasted for a fe swift seconds.
So, with your permission, i will be taking my leave then, my highness. —He said while bowing down — Celestial watcher: Eye of cosmos and also, Celestial watcher: Cosmological remembrance.
The first chanting opened a third eye right in between his forehead which the same blue color just like his original eyes but it had a strange glow which was lacking in his original eyes and with his second chanting, a strange portal like structure opened up right in front of him and he stepped inside it, immediately closing of the portal happened right after his body fully entered the portal.
/Back at the outskirts of moonlight forest/
The portal opened up, right above where the clash between zailos and the guy that had shown up should be happening but when he turned his gaze towards the place where the battle should be taking place, all he could see was burning ground with temperature hot enough for him to feel, who was high above the ground.
It was pretty hard to see what was going on inside those firey flames that looked more like slash which was cut deep inside the ground as each of the flame came burning out of the cuts making it seem like someone had used a blade made out of fire to cut deep inside the land itself. He swiftly exited the portal as, the portal closed in similar sense just like before but this time when the guy exited the portal instead of entering it. As the gravity worked it's part, the guy started falling towards the ground at high speed. At mid air, he closed both of his eyes and the only remaining eye open was the third eye and it started glowing just like it did before but this time finally the eye's purpose had been revealed.
The eye that shined brig blue helped him see directly through the high smoke screen that was blocking the view and what he saw wasn't exactly what he wanted to see. At first, his gaze landed upon the hand that was missing a body and because he knew Boö. Arcturus for a long time he immediately knew that it was his friend's arm and there he was right besides the severed arm laying on the ground with a lifeless look on his body.
Seeing his friend in such condition, his senses dulled for a second as a drop of tear left his eyes but he quickly gathered himself as Arcturus could be still alive and taking him back was the main reason why he was here so he once again chanted the same chant from before to open up a portal right besides the body. He swiftly entered the another portal that had opened up below him and because he was still falling, he entered the portal. Right after he entered the portal below him, it closed up but the portal besides his friend still remained and from that portal, he pulled his friend inside the portal and afte successfully managing to get him in, the portal started closing itself.
Just seconds before portal closed, he saw it. It was a horrific scene among the flame that still stood high, he saw a man or was it a beast? It was hard to differentiate because it was acting like a wild beast trapped in a human body as it swung it's blade desperately which was strangely broken in half but not incomplete as the missing part of the sword was made out of flame that were the same flame that scarred the ground of eryndral itself. The man or the beast was desperately trying to escape from the familiar aethergazing magic that had trapped him inside, a cage made entirely out of light and it didn't took him long to realize that it was Yasmine's aethergazing magic, Lightborn chronicles.
