Arc 4 - Chapter 3: Sky Waltz - Ullyss and Yhaovi.

"Welcome everyone to this ball, this is a special party for the current author Yhaovi Arcarium, as a person who done the right thing and not going out of control like the last time. So we welcome our main guest of the party tonight."

"Thank you a lot lady and gentleman, i am Yhaovi Arcarium, i am currently the author, i can be rather dreamy and air-headed sometime, if any of that happen please forgive me for not paying attention."

"He is quite cute."

"Better than the last author."

"He seem to be quite bright isn't he."

"Such a cute face."

After the introduction from Luxon, other guest start talking to each other, mostly is praising the new author and discuss about that world. The music start soon, Hyrald is the conductor of this performance, not as perfectionist as Or but Hyrald choose to do the best he could, the music start and the grand ball truly begin. 

"Shall we have a dance ?"

"You look different Lady Yukihara."

"Afterall, welcome a new guest is different than live a normal daily life, i never wear this unless on special days."

"Then it should be my honor to make this a special day."

The kimono Lady Yukihara wearing is susohiki with black sleeves, the patern on the sleeves are moons and spider lilies. Contrast the dark color of the sleeves, the patern on Maemigoro and Okumi is colorful with the patern of leaf and lilac. Her hair is tied up high to reveal her neck and the hairpin is designed as a large magnolia, compare to a normal geisha work for Liang, Lady Yukihara doesn't use any type of make up, her beauty is natural.

"You seem brighter than normal day milady."

"And you look less crazy than normal day my clockworker."

"This is..."

"Where is my manner ? I am Hyde, the eternal clockworker. Like Lady Yukihara said, i am crazier than i am currently."

"You are the one who design the Gear of time right ?"

"Yes and no, I am just a co-designer with Lurux and Lurax, the clockworker before me is a quiet person, he doesn't share anything so after he left his legacy, Lurux, Lurax and i examine them and try to recreate them..."

"Now now Hyde, you being bad again, don't forget, this is a party and we don't talk about business during a party."

"It is business habit, please forgive me and enjoy this feast. I have a little business to take care of, Lurux, Larux, enjoy this party, i need to take care a few problem about Animius's efficiency."

Hyde leave the main hall, he know something not that simple, his mind linked with the garden so he know when someone enter it. An uninvited guest is unacceptable especially during a special day like this, an author, a precious guest arrive at the garden and even his student goes with him. This night is an important night and no one shall ruin it, this is not just the matter of the respect but this also the honor of the host, if the host can't even control the security then it is the shame of Greenwich.

"So you sense that Mr. Tick-Tock. They dare to attack us and even in this important night."

"What about your brother ?"

"Don't worry, if he can't even defeat them alone then he isn't my brother. Larus, can you take care of our guest ?"

"It is the shame you are not here to witness your big brother. Well, go with Hyde and take care of them, i will keeping our guest safe even actually they don't need that a lot."

"Our job is not protecting our guest, they can do that themselves, our job is tune up the ball and don't let anyone fell asleep because they think the party is boring. I will take care of the garden and i guest you can take care of the hall, brother."

The dark portal open and emerge from the starry sky above are a lot of black-hooded figures, they surround Hyde and Lurux, some of them try to reach the hall but everytime they almost touch the gate they return to their location when they arrive. They saw the book on Lurux hand glowing with brilliant light, the tome carry the gear of Animius inside it combine with the barrier spell type of Lurux allow him to control time in an area without losing too much power like someone else.

"I will leave the rest of the job your you Hyde."

"Got that."

Different from Lurux, Hype's power is destructive but it requires everything in the state of frozen timeline, stripping the time of those who trapped in the frozen timeline. Animius became unstable and starts to vibrate, the time inside the dome created by Lurux become unstable and time starts to compress. Hyde slowly stripping time from everything staying inside the dome, before they know something everything already in his hand.

"Thing should be finish here, i wonder if my brother is fine."

"With his ability everything should be possible."

The only place the organization attack is not just the outer hall but they also already present inside the hall before. Much likely Luxon let them in, showing his pride or just want to show them they are powerless against Greenwich. They rush toward Hyrald and try to attack the conductor, their time power allow them to slow down time but before the blade reach Hyrald the conductor smiles, reality and fantasy appear at the same time. Under Hyrald's command, every violinist took out a rapier from their bow and the rapier block the blade before they him. 

"Welcome our guest from the omega dimension, i must say your name isn't on the guest list and it is quite rude to enter someone house with their permission."

"Allow us to serving all of you tonight, it is our honor to show the hospitality of the host and welcome everyone to Greenwich where time is meaningless."

Other guests is not panic like some medieval noble when the assassin enter the throne room, they all know their will be in great danger if they choose to be the resident of Greenwich but one thing those dare to attack Greenwich didn't know their time manipulation ability consider to be Ω in dimensions outside greenwich because that is one of the most powerful power outside Greenwich. But inside Greenwich there is much more powerful power, and the existance of time gear Animius can completely erase the power to control time, in Greenwich, time manipulation is Ξ. 

"Allow us to show each one of you our hospitality, Fantasy Invoke - Plum Garden of Kamata, Fantasy Invoke - Bridge of Senju."

From where Lady Yukihara stand, the paintings start to appear and expand on the surrounding, garden and a bridge start to appear. Lady Yukihara appears and attacks the closest emeny to her, after that she return to the shadow of the painting. Other guest draw their blade, some even show killing intent. Used to be an author, they have to be graceful, they have to held back all frustration but now, they finally can release all of that. The organization thought they could use this chance to attack and cause surprise but the battle soon turned into one side bloodbath and the Saviours remain supreme. There is no balance anymore longer, Greenwich one-sided genocide on everyone who choose to attack them.

"Careful Luxon."

"I called you among the stars and sky, toward the all the prophecy and stars among the sky. This shall be the revelation of heaven. Morning star."

The hall disappear and everyone witness the starry night appear, the star circling and thousand of them start to shine brighter and energy beam shoot down. The only power Kuoni can't mimic, Luxon is not just a poet, he is a lot more, he is an artist, a stargazer, a prophet, a doctor. Morning star is his own creation, the ultimate defense system of greenwich, Luxon said that himself, this is not a machine, this is the revelation of heaven. The sky is filled with light and this is nothing different than a massacre.

"Fall back !"

"I won't give you that chance."

Another black portal open, inside the darkness of the gate is a young kid with white hair and bandage wrap around one of his eye. Darkness form a into a spider web and the ground start breaking, the tome on he carry is shining, the boy open the tome and summon a twister that prevent every hooded figure from running away. Finally with Luxon uses the pure power of Demonos, manipulation of life and death to finish all of them. The battle end thank to the mysterious guest, he turn to look at Yhaovi and even the boy only have one eye and he really slim and his hair turned white. But that face already show everything to Yhaovi, with only the face they look the same to each other. The boy smile and toward Yhaovi and then fell on the ground.

"Ullyss !"

"You are... the worst... bodyguard... i... ever...ha... ve..."

"Don't worry it is just exhaustion. But who is this ?"

"He is..."

"He is the original piece of my soul, Ullyss is my original self. When he is captured Ullyss use his power to create me and now he appear here, i have to ask him everything. Don't worry Gold, i won't hurt him, we just stay in our garden."

Yhaovi closes his eye and and fall on his back, the moment he open his eye again he saw Ullyss sitting on a swing, and with his gesture, he invites Yhaovi to join with him.

"How long have you wait until this day ?"

"I have wait for really long to see this day, to see you again Yhaovi. I missed you so much, even deep inside my heart i still want to keep you save."

"But why is that ?"

"You are the one who carry all of mine happy memories, even there is not a lot of it but you also carry my ability to find the color and the beauty in everything. That is what made an artist, since the day our land is destroyed and i was captured."

"But how could you remain calm ?"

"No i didn't, i just hope a day they will make a mistake and i can finally break free."

"So you just keep cling to that hope ?"

"As long as i am alive then i will keep on hope for a better future and i will never submit to them no matter how much pain i suffer and even when i almost lose to hatred and despair, i can sense a small link with you. And then... You pour so much happiness into me, so much beauty, so much memories, Lavern guides you, everyone give you memories. That is my true purpose to keep on fight against them... You should wake up now, they are worry for you."

"No, it has been nearly 400 years since they day i left you, i finally can see you again. We finally can be together again."

"No."

"What do you mean, don't you want to complete yourself ?"

"No, i created you first is to protect my memories then i can have them back but after i saw you and your memories, they are so joyful and so beautiful too. Like this garden you make, there is hatred but not just hatred, i sense joy, happiness and determination. I want to create my own new memories and i want to have you as a friend not just a part of me."

The wind blew and the swing start swinging back and fourth, both of them sleep on the swing in the wind, they felt relieve because they found each other. The wind and the sound of water flow create a lovely song.

They felt asleep between earth and sky.
