Universe,something which describes the infinity beyond the naked eyes. A place which holds a lot of mysteries,the answer to the curious minds of special ones. The law lies there. You are being watched. Your every move will be watched since the moment you are being born into this mother earth. Once you are born,you will be forgotten the purpose of why you were born. But the purpose will reach you no matter what. It's upto you if you want to fulfill it or not.

And once you are done with your life,your sould will return to hear the judgement. But from whom? Where will your soul go?

It's a court. A universal court. You will be judged under the eyes of nine spiritual judges. They will read your account of crimes and good deeds. After counting the actions,they will decide where you will head next. If your account is to the negative side,four types of hells will be waiting for you. And if your account is to the positive side,there will be six heavens waiting for you including the human realm which is considered as one of the heavens.

Horus,a newly appointed judge. He was quite the new guy but if you consider in human time,he had lived thousands of years. He had died when he was very young,thus,his form had taken the form of a young boy.

He was carefully watching the siblings who had lost their parents. Their parents were buried in the backyard of their house with the help of Lewis's strange power.

Akira was blankly staring at his parents graves yet tears rolled down like a nonstop rain. He was kneeling infront of the graves without saying a word. Next to him,Izumi was standing beside him with her head hanging low. She seemed to be mourning for the loss but unlike her brother,she didn't have tears.

Behind them,Luca and Lewis were standing there silently.

Horus hasn't been a judge for a long time but comparing to human time,he had enough experience to not wave in a situation like this. This was all too familiar to him.

Hero or Villain, it is decided at a crucial time like this. Someone has to lose something to become something they had never thought they would be. They would have never imagined it but they'll end up in that messed up maze which decides their fate.

Akira could either be a hero or villain. He always radiated the aura of a hero yet no one can be sure. But either way,Horus had to do his job. The whole purpose of descending onto the human realm again.

"Why?"

Horus raised an eyebrow hearing Akira speaking finally.

"Why did my parents die?",His voice had gone deep like he had just hit the puberty. He stood up slowly and looked at Horus from the side of his shoulder. His blood shot eyes were not staring at Horus,rather he was gazing at Horus' feet. The sweat had stuck his hair onto his forehead with few scars here and there on the face. And when he turned around,Horus almost felt himself panicking but composed himself. Akira's eyes raised upto his eyes.

And Horus could see it. The absolute hatred. The fire had woken up within his deep fiery pit of eyes.

"....Is it because of me?", Akira wasn't dumb enough to not understand it.

Horus' reddish -orange eyes stared back at him. No pity,no sympathy. Horus had no emotion to give him. "...Yes"

Akira's hands clenched,veins running through his arms upto his neck. "What if -What if I refuse to believe?"

Horus smiled with his hands clasped behind his back. "Your highness has the word. Your word is the rule. If you say you refuse,then be it. And what do you intend to do now?"

Akira's eyebrows twitched hearing the word 'highness'. He had enough of the fucking name!

"FOR FUCK'S SAKE STOP CALLING ME 'YOUR HIGHNESS'!", He snapped out finally. He could only see red right now. His breathing was becoming harsh by the every passing second. His head was spinning nonstop like a rollarcoster.

Luca and Lewis felt a sudden electricity running through their spins. For a moment, their breathing stopped with Akira's outburst. It was like they could feel his emotions.

"WHY?!WHY?!WHY?!", Akira held his head. His legs were wobbling like the ground was going up and down just to make him fall. He shut his eyes feeling the rage running through the every bloody vein in him. "AAAAAAAAHHHH!", His angry outburst gave another wave of electric shock to Luca and Lewis. They were rooted to the ground,not being able to move with the changes in their bodies.

Just as Akira was about to fall,he felt a hand covering his sight while another hand was wrapped around his shoulders, instantly giving a rest to his angry voices in his head.

"Aki,breath", Izumi's dead ass calm voice reached his ears. He felt her hand patting his furiously beating heart to calm him down. "I'm here,calm down"

Horus watched the teenager becoming calm with Izumi's uttermost care. He observed Izumi's expression keenly. Soft yet firm.

"Now listen",Izumi again spoke after calming her brother. "Listen well"

Akira stayed quiet.

Izumi,"Mother and father sacrificed themselves for you. Don't let their sacrifice go to a waste",...."With the things which happened here,I believe that you can grasp the things I am gonna say now"

Izumi gave a small glance to Horus.

"Horus calls you 'your highness' because he ought to respect his King. He doesn't dare to disrespect the greatest king who once ruled the greatest kingdom"

Izumi could feel Akira tensing and she immediately held his shoulders harder and didn't let him see the light yet.

"Calm down -I said calm down!"

Akira took deep shallow breaths, trying his best to calm down.

"That's right. You heard me right. You -You are the reincarnation of that great person"

Akira fell into a strange silence. Even his trembling died down. It seemed like he was attentively listening but at the same time not.

Out of nowhere, he broke into a loud laughter,throwing away Izumi's hands. His laughter held no humour. It was purely sarcastic anger. He slapped his knees,laughing his guts out. Tears were leaking out from his venomous eyes of agony.

While others were staring at him blankly. No one made a noise. Only his laughter rang through the thin air. The moon was shining above them brightly.

He looked at Izumi with that specific fire in his eyes. "Very well", he was smiling creepily. "So,I was reborn to restore the fallen kingdom? Woah!",he clapped loudly,shaking his head. "I never knew that you were an amazing story writer ,sister! Why didn't you become an author instead of fucking your time with those utterly useless martial art skills?!", His voice rose up into a furious shout.

Izumi on the other hand,was calm. She listened to his outburst patiently. But from the corner of her eyes,she could see the other three boys starting to move. She immediately signalled them to calm down. But she was taken back when her eyes met Horus'. She could almost see red in his orange irises. But he was looking calm from outside. She couldn't tell what was he upto. Nevertheless, he had no right to meddle in human things.

Izumi sighed closing her eyes. She opened her eyes and stared at her furious younger brother. She knew that her younger brother had always hated her for whatever the unknown reason,so he wouldn't tend to believe in her words.

She didn't know what to say yet she opened her mouth to speak but nothing could be said when someone hit Akira's neck area. Akira gasped and fell down unconscious. Lewis stood there with a pair of burning eyes.

"Had enough of his bullshit", he mumbled and looked at Izumi. "I don't know what's happening. I also can't believe what you just said. I mean -look,he is an idiot! And when someone said he is a king,how could anyone believe when the said 'king' doesn't even believe in it?"

"Why can't you believe it? If you were to be a normal human being,would you believe if I said there are people who can control wind and earth?",Horus asked. "But you believe it since you have the power. Just because his highness hasn't showed any signs,you can't decide if it is true or not. But whether to believe it or not is obviously upto you"

Lewis cursed under his breath and looked at the unconscious Akira on the floor. "This is fucked up. I don't believe this bullshit! I don't want to be this bastard's servant!I'd rather join the enemy to fight against him!"

Luca scoffed. "Feel free to leave. No one is stopping you"

Lewis, "You got some balls to talk back to me huh? Is it because now I know you also have that creepy power?"

Horus rolled his eyes. "You kiddos,stop fighting"

Lewis and Luca,"Who are you calling 'kiddos',kiddo?!"

Horus,"Forget it. Listen,you two have no choice but to suck it up and work together. And Lewis,if you decide to work for the enemy,then it means you are losing your powers. You had given a vow in your previous life,and if you decided to break it off,you might lose the power you were give by his highness and will return back to your beast form,forever to never return back"

"Wait -What? Vow? Previous life? Beast form? What the -", Lewis was flabbergasted. Luca had the same expression as his.

Horus smiled clasping his hands behind his back. It almost looked creepy with his shiny eye balls. "You heard me right warrior, not only Akira has a past,but also you two too",...."All of you are entangled in the same mess you had created in your previous life"
