Arc 3 - Chapter 5: Fifth Circle: Sorrow
As Yhaovi reach the ground, he knows the world surrounding him is cold, ice covered the space around him and the place he stand on is a frozen lake. As the archive this is the end of the abyss, the place where the great father live, this floor serve the purpose of creating the new form of existance for any existance finish its time in the abyss. But the floor described is different than its description in the archive, the fifth circle is a grand hall, a throne in the middle and a working desk with material on the left. The hall is filled with warm light and the the hall is decorated with colorful patern but the current hall is filled with ice, the light is dim and the world surround him is cold. Logos, Yuzur and Luford said they haven't been to the fifth circle for at least three hundred years, the last time they saw father is the moment before the shadow started to take them over, they sent the last message to Fafnir told him to remain in the limbo and protect it with the fantasy he created.
Like a world filled with glass and crystal, the memories start to return to him, the ice surrounding him and in the memories he saw a person holding his hand and play with him in the snow. A young boy holding his hand and both of them playing under the snow, right before the snow storm start they went inside a house, the boy boils some ginger for him. The memories is a little bit distance and they never appear before but why Yhaovi feel they are so familliar to him.
"These crystal, they can reflect the memories deep inside me ? What are these crystal ? Quill, can you identify them ? Quill ?"
"I remember now, what actually happen... This... this can't be."
"What is it ?"
"He should took a while to process all of those memories. As for my part, i am the person you always called Quill, but not really him. Well, for simple, Quill can create existance and i am the one who destinated to erase them."
"So he always talk about a black quill, i can presume that is you ?"
"You can called me like that, if you wanted, i can reveal everything. I am another desire created by Or based on quill, a desire of fixing everything in that cursed dimension, i am a perfect replica of Quill but our power different. Because I don't have the power of Or so my power is to erase everything."
"So you are the one who cursed this place ?"
"No, i am here for an offer of alliance, to defeat the one who really corrupt this hall of creation. I simply return here for two things and one of them is to free this world, the world my author used to love."
"Your author ?"
"Of course, Or is still my author even if he just created me when he was depress but i still give him all of my kindness and loyalty. I respect him above everything, my starlight, my conductor, my father. I really want to see his smile again."
"Alright then, then do you know who is the one who cause this type of destruction ?"
"Father of the abyss is the one who create the vessal for all the soul in this abyss who help the dead to be reincarnated. But if the great father is sealed then there will be no vessal, the soul would slowly corrupt and finally they turned into the creature you called darkling. Your friend is fighting them at the moment, all the darkling and we have to deal with their leader. The one who cause all of this."
"I have one more question, how did you end up in this place ?"
"After the moment Lavern defeated Or and quill thought he could sealed me back inside him but something else appear and try to capture me. Maybe that is the true mastermind behind all of this. I fell into darkness but the power of the quill allow me to escape the darkness and in all the place i thought i could run to i thought about this place."
"So you have waited in this place for at least 300 years ?"
"Yes, i want to repay everything i own to Or and to you too Lavern."
"Lavern ? No, i am Yhaovi, Lavern is the author before me, as for Lavern, he is sleeping, in the end, he still can't found his emotion."
"..."
"Well, shall we depart then, we still have to take care of the last thing tainted this world, as for me i still have to find something but did you really wait down here for that long ?"
"Not really matter, as long as i can wait for someone who can help me. After all, that battle take away the power to erase anything of mine so now you can say i am powerless. Only the power i have left is the ability to use a few simple magic."
"Well, as long as you can lead me to them then i guess there is nothing wrong."
"Please becareful, the one who stay in this circle is not someone you can underestimate."
A strange feeling, the feeling of something dangerous, the vine wall erected and block the attack from behind and another attack come from the front. The hooded figure carry a whip blade in his hand, no introduction, the hooded figure attack again but this time Yhaovi can't sense anything, time stopped and time move again and everything Yhaovi felt is pain. But Yhaovi knows, he can't call to Morphis, no one else have to suffer for him.
"Fantasy Dream - Heaven Doll."
Yhaovi know his true power now, to open and leave his garden, the body of an author is indestructible. Rather than controling himself from the reality, Yhaovi control his body turn it into a puppet from the dream. With this method, Yhaovi is no longer bond by any rule even the time can't do anything to him. The real battle begin at this moment, when the hooded figure attack the garden guard appear and block the attack, the garden mage cast the spell and the garden knight attack the figure.
"Gate of Time - La Porte de l'Enfer."
Time stopped completely, before Yhaovi know that, he and the mysterious figure already entered another world, the ground below Yhaovi is a giant clock. A vision came to Yhaovi when he saw the clock reach twelve o'clock, he saw himself alone in the world of the stopped time forever. With the mind of person who know what will happen this is the final effort of the hooded figure, the battle if Yhaovi can't win he will be trapped in this world.
"To be able to break free from this garden, to defeat you and end the curse of this abyss, i have to defeat you and trap you in this world."
The first hour pass, the hooded figure spit into five, they all attack Yhaovi while the soldier of the garden protect him. The second hour pass, ice start to appear on the clock and countless ice arrow showering on Yhaovi, the garden vine protect him but that is not enough. The ice arrow pierce through the vine and leave a cut on his face. The third hour pass, the hooded figure keep on teleporting make the army of the garden can't attack him, the figure smile and Yhaovi know he doesn't have much time left, the time speed up and now the current speed of the battle is double. Yhaovi knows, he only have 4 hours left but he didn't know the hooded figure want him to trapped forever.
"Victory is mine."
The time is sped up and everything know, the clock reached twelve Yhaovi slowly felt he is being pull out of the dream, so this is the end, he failed and frozen in this world of time. Quill will be passed down to Kuoni as the role of the new author and Quill will taught him everything he need to know to be an author. But what will happen to this world, sealed in the frozen timeline for eternity ?
"My Seer if you can still hear me, please i don't want anything else, please let me take Yhaovi's place. I own them too much, i own Lavern for taking away his emotion, i own Yhaovi for taking away his time, if anything i can do for them... I would sacrifice myself to let Yhaovi win so please. Please, take me instead, i wasn't meant to be created. I shouldn't exist in the first place, so please take me instead of him."
"What are you doing, no, he didn't have a chance to say goodbye to you."
"I know my author still happy and well, if you can then please do this for me, remind him to be happy in the current world. There is no need for perfection to be happy."
Yhaovi felt he returned to the world and the one behind him, black quill is a frozen statue now. The last effort of Quill, he used power to create an anomaly allow him to take Yhaovi place in the frozen time world. This give Yhaovi another chance to defeat the hooded figure, the garden charge forward with all of their might and defeat the hooded figure.
"Not because of you i became like this, we could take over this world by now not because of you two, you worthless low life. I could have take over this world and even everyworld in this miserable galaxy."
Yhaovi already sad and angry, because he was too helpless to save quill, because of his power but most of all, because of the one who lying on the ground mocking the sacrifice of the greatest servant. Even after quill know he can't survive he still want to see Or's smile again, he still loyal to Or even if Or is no longer an author. And this pitiful creature dare to the greatest soul Yhaovi respect, that filled him with disgust and anger.
"What are you looking at, you want to kill me ? You still need me for the information about my master, aren't you ? Yon wouldn't dare."
"..."
"Speechless now, aren't you ? You are just a worthless child and that thing is just a broken quill, you think you can change everything ? Don't make me laugh."
"..."
"What is that anger ? What can you do ?"
"..."
"What are you doing ? Don't come closer."
"I won't mind killing you now, how dare you mock the author, how dare you mock the sacrifice of a loyal servant, how dare you mock the one who sacrifice everything he has for a person he doesn't know. How dare you mocking us you low life worthless, don't call him worthless, you are not even a part of him. Your power right ? La Porte de l'Enfer, the gate of the abyss ? That should be the perfect punishment for a sinner like you, mockery on your creator, mockery on those who far better then you."
The ice space around Yhaovi crumble, the ice crystal floating on the air and all of them converge into the hooded figure. Sealed in a frozen statue for eternity, what a price to pay for a traitor who dare to betray their author, as Yhaovi turn to quill, he only felt sorrow, the person who he respect for loyalty, who sacrifice even the last chance to see his creator.
"Thank you a lot for saving our world."
"You are..."
"I am the one you called father of the abyss, for proper introduction, i am Tellos and that person ?"
"He is the one who sacrifice his own life for me to liberate this world."
"I see, i will leave you a moment of silence, i need to visit all of my children now."
"Well, i should give you back Fafnir first. I kinda well, aduct him."
Fafnir released from the dream and sleeping in dragon form, he slowly wake up, his golden eye shine bright and the first thing he saw is Tellos's eyes, filled with sorrow, the sadness because he bring his son nothing but sorrow. Fafnir look back at him, he tried to use his power to control illusion but it didn't work.
"You don't have to hide yourself before me, i know i should grant you the form of a normal human like your brother but to fill so much power into you i have to give you a suitable vessal."
"..."
"I am sorry my child."
Fafnir spread his wings and he speaks to Tellos to get on his back so they can visit other brother. For Yhaovi, he bring two quill with him back the ground, the darkling is vanishing and a new dawn came to Hygeniuos but something still make him felt uncomfortable. Because of the future ? Because of the true masterming, there is something make him felt uncomfortable and looking at black quill he only felt sorrow. Even if he was not created for the right purpose but he still loyal and full of affection, a forced smile he has to show to let everyone know everything is alright but from his heart he felt painful.
