Arc 5 - Prologue: The storm at the horizon

"So i entrust everything you Yhaovi. They want you and they will attack you, that is the calculation we know, maybe this showdown is just a bait to trick us and they will attack you."

"Don't worrry even if they held an all out attack i will just return to dreamhall and write them out of this story. Even the price for that is absolutely painful but i still accept that price."

"Don't worry, we will protect every world. After all, this is my mission."

Luxon left and before that he perform a Demonos's blessing on Yhaovi, the blessing of Demonos help a person share the pain with them. Every pain and wound of the one who blessed will be transfer to them instead, that is the reason sometime Demonos even being loved more than the Transcendant. Their nature of kindness and their will to become the shield for other noble of Kritias, but this is also consider as an act of farewell to someone. 

"He knows he won't return."

"I know, that blessing ritual performed by thousand of Demonos on everyone. Before anything risky, the Demonos can control the cycle of life and death even on themselves but the price is the memory about dying of those who receive that blessing goes to them. Black wings carrying the burden on their shoulder, face stained with sadness, pain and grieve, i always wonder why their race called Demonos."

"Something we never know."

The Emprerys Order and even Hygenious is preparing for the war with a mysterious force that threat to control everything and turn every creature into their puppet. No one can know about their true intention but no matter the cause, the will of liberation is something has to be appreciated. Even the authors has no authority on other's will, to fight against the will of manipulation, Emprerys Order and even Hygenious will be the first to become the one who hold the flag of revolution to fight against the desire of manipulation.

"I will return to the abyss and ask for the reinforcement from great father of Hygenious. Can you held a meeting of every member ?"

"That is everything i can do. There must be a way for us to survive this war, no one can win a war like this but we know the fact that they want an author so our mission is protect you and Kuoni."

The crystal in the forest is what left of Or's old memories, the last of his mind, the last guiding of his kindness grant for the later author. No one can escape the circle of the authors, they will sleep when they found the next author and the next one will take the place of an author. After nine authors are gathered the new circle begins, carrying the duty of an author is a torment but also a blessing. To shape the base of a world is a blessing, the last of Or give Yhaovi his true potential, he is no longer a part of Ullyss, liberating himself from Ullyss's influence and open his true power as a painter of fantasy.

"Thank you so much Or, your last will helped me walking out of the darkness of my heart. But i never bond to that darkness, in my garden there is magnolia but also myosotis exist. In my heart is both joy and sorrow. I never consider darkness a bad thing, light and darkness can walk on both path."

The garden bloom filled with glorious light and graceful darkness, nothing can exist without balance, the garden inside Yhaovi, his fantasy world is filled with his joyful memories and also his sadness. Not perfect but complete, the garden is beautiful in its own way and it shall lead him on his way to the future.

"You know jumping down a hole is not very safe right."

"But i know someone will catch me."

Yhaovi currently sitting on Fafnir's head, the white dragon guarding the limbo of the afterlife, the limbo is filled with dreaming people. With the white wings, the dragon takes Yhaovi to the second floor, the limbo may sound scary but this floor is nothing but silence. The atmosphere is dreamy and the dragon fly down to the row of staircase, the rest of the journey can be skip by jumping down but no one is stupid enough to do that.

"So i see you are better now."

"You mean ?"

"You accept your true self more but i felt your dragon form look so magnificent, there is no need for the shame of becoming a dragon. A magnificent white dragon, somehow romantic like thing written in stories."

"You think it is great ?"

"What can be a better wonder for child rather than sitting the back of a great white dragon."

"(Except the fact that child is more than 300 years old.)"

"(You really have to learn when to speak sometime.)"

"You really think that ? That makes me really shy but thank you."

Fafnir's human form is not less magnificent than his dragon form, his height and muscle can be equal to a black giant. On his head is two white horns represent for his origin as a dragon, the scale become a white armor, the stairway lead to the a door, on the other side is the view of a hallway. 

"My position is the warden but also a gatekeeper, i used to hate my father so much because i never understand his mind but maybe now, he is just have the mind of a person just like you."

The hallway is glorious, much different than the gloomy hallway in the past, inside the end of the hall is Tellos's desk. On the desk is a small clay figure, Tellos is busy making a new vessal for a wandering soul, the clay figure soon have color. The soul slowly delivered inside the vessal with help from Yuzur and Logos, the clay figure slowly open its eyes then Yuzur lead him through another portal to the 4th floor to meet Luford.

"It has been a while, my author."

"There is no need for that much of respect for me, i am just a child afterall."

"Please don't be humble, another mysterious child visit us and he told us about you. We are not used to fighting but we can help you with something else. Our power combine can delay the end of fate of a world."

"Maybe you can help me with something but we have to wait until the right moment. But meanwhile it seem like everything back to the original state, do you feel better Logos ?"

"Father help me a lot, he help me reshape this form of mine which help a lot with my disease and recovery faster from that mind corruption from that wretched man."

"It is good to see you recovery from that, so i am counting on everyone this time."

"Don't worry, we will help this world. After all, this is the will of past author Or, even if he is the one who thrown this world into ruin but he is still the creator and as his creation we will protect this world."

As Kuoni finish the conversation and return to the surface, the wind start to blow and a storm is coming. The priest return to Yeon's castle, as he enters the hall, every other member of the emprerys order gathered here. The High Chancellor is the first to speak up his opinion on the incoming chaos.

"We faced another threat this time everyone, this time it will be even harder than the threat from the corrupted abyss. But i believe in our future."

"We rebuilt our world, now, it's the time to protect it. We - the dark giant won't back off from this war."

"Our enemies will have a lot of technology in their use but that is nothing we need to be worried about. Our brilliant tactician has something in his sleeves."

Kuoni already prepare something in his sleeves, a strange device made by Professor Hyde of Greenwich, the device allows any time manipulation power in omega category become useless toy. What Kuoni held in his hand could be a way to win this war, the sky still blue and there still time to prepare for this war, citizen is trained with magic and other ways to fight, scouting and close combat. 

"So our Priest, do you have something for this war."

"My garden will be their last place to see, let's go Ullyss, it's time for the butterfly to lure the enemies and the spider to make its web."

Ullyss smiles toward Yhaovi, butterfly and spider fighting each other will give others opportunity to kill both of them but if the spider work with the butterfly, that will be nightmare within a dream. Yhaovi's garden is not depend on the original nightmare Ullyss made, the butterfly garden of Yhaovi with the noble of Kritias - Morphis will be the perfect dream, the perfect stage for Ullyss performance and the same goes to Ullyss.
