the Asura household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The palace rose like black stone grown from the earth rather than built.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tall spires curved like horns toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep red banners hung between the towers, barely moving in the still air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even from outside the gates, the pressure of the place could be felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most of the family members are well aware of the current situation.\" Mortis who was standing beside me mumbled. \"And they are more than scared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded my head, not saying anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given what happened with the other two elf families it was obvious why they were scared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…They don't want to be the next in line to get destroyed.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mortis began to walk, taking me inside the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My gaze though shifted back to the young boy who was walking a few steps behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lysander had been silent the entire time during our travel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't spoken a word and had been keeping his presence as low as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Is he really that scared of me?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't think so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's like he was trying to hide something from me by acting like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…I gotta keep an eye on him.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking so, I moved along with Mortis into the inner gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards stiffened the moment they recognized me, but none dared speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They just bowed and moved aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, the courtyard was quieter than a noble palace should ever be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mortis walked me through the palace as I found many new faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We only stopped when we reached the main hall of the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lysander had already gone somewhere else leaving me along with his grandfather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two more beings who were present inside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them was the son of Mortis and the definition of nepotism and the other was the princess of the Orth kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leila was the one whose wedding was destroyed…whose husband died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she noticed me, she stood up and bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded as my gaze shifted towards the portrait on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A name was engraved on the lower end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adean Varyan Asura, the Asuran Child of Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The portrait was larger than the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man stood painted in silver and black armor, long dark hair flowing behind him like smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kept on staring at the man who was once me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the other two child of mana in the second Holy War, he was fighting everyone for the love of the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…He does looks like someone who would get offended easily.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I rubbed the back of my neck as I sat down on the sofa opposite to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mortis cleared his throat taking his seat as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't waste your time.\" He said. \"Right now, as the head of Asura family I would formerly ask for your help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leila's fingers tightened in her lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mortis' son sat straight, trying to look like he belonged in a conversation this important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I leaned back into the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You already have my attention,\" I said. \"Talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mortis shifted his gaze towards Leila who stood up as if understanding his unspoken words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The situation is really grim.\" She said, taking out a document from her bracelet. \"From what I have gathered \"they\" are a cult who are killing Asura.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She passed the documents to me, which I took.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twelve hundreds confirmed incidents,\" Leila said. \"Likely more we don't know about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I flipped through the pages that had names and images of those who were effected by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hornless asura looked pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything you know about the cult?\" I asked, closing the document for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They call themselves 'Council of Better Future.\" She replied. \"They say they want to revive all gods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I titled my head in response. \"All gods?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded her head. \"With what we have gathered, they want to bring back all the gods that died in the Third Holy War.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…All the gods that Qaisel killed?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I frowned as I couldn't understand the meaning behind such thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would they want to bring back those gods?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I flipped through the documents once again thinking in the silence about their motives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are they going to do that?\" I mumbled more to myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By using the dungeons.\" Leila replied instead. \"They are using the dungeons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stopped turning the pages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The dungeons…\" I repeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what I remembered, the dungeons were created by the dead gods to one day have enough souls to revive themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Still why would a cult try to revive those gods?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I leaned back slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you get this information?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We tortured one of them.\" Mortis son said gruntly. \"He poke everything like a bitch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced at him and gave a single nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…damn, I forget his name.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I rubbed my temples as I looked through the documents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But I don't buy this bullshit about reviving the gods.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was definitely something else that was going on with this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" I said, patting the armrest twice. \"I will look into this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of relief immediately appeared on all of their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can we help you?\" Leila asked. \"If you need we can provide with our army—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't think I will need them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I said standing up but as I did, I heard a cripping voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up, I found a small blue bird floating over my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled as the bird slowly lowered itself to sit on my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tweet! Tweet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liraz began to peck my head like that's all he knows to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned my head as I found someone walking towards the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Epione.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Unknown Island, Sea of Shadows.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world of Lumina was as beautiful as dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the world was explored yet a big part of Lumina was unexplored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sea of Shadows was such place that was too chaotic to be reached by normal beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black cliffs rose from the sea, jagged and wet, as if the island had clawed its own way out of the ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place that was once a mystery that Primordial Goddess Annat herself couldn't solve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the edge of the place was a mansion that was big enough to shelter thousands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mansion did not look abandoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the first wrong thing about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a place where even the sea sounded sick, the structure stood intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long halls stretched in every direction, lined with statues of Sabaoth himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of the mansion was a grand hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the grand hall sat a man who was seven metres tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His muscular body was only covered by a peice of cloth that he wrapped around his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the opposite side of him, on a throne that was on equal level to him stood a red haired man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ragnar sat lazily on the throne staring at the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Care to talk?\" He said, his voice annoyed. \"You can't call me here and turn mute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant did not look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat cross-legged on the stone floor, eyes closed, breathing slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each breath sounded like distant thunder rolling under the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the leader of the organisation that followed Sabaoth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the leader of…Principalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I asked a question Valar.\" Ragnar growled. \"I crossed half the Sea of Shadows for this.
