Zeraphine was lost in a strange dream. She saw various figures that appeared around her.

There, she saw her father, who transcended Principal into becoming Primes.

This was a video that she watched again and again in her youth. When She was born, her father was already a Prime, and in her early years, her mother would constantly speak fondly of Zephirus.

Zeraphine was a Presider. But she was a rather strange one. Yet, Zeraphine had only several moments of being in front of her father.

Primes were not beings that existed solely in the three dimensions. When a Principal takes that step into the higher stages, the laws of the dimension have changed. They achieve a state higher than Dimensional Purging. They had transformed from Primes into the High Primes that held strange powers and were no longer beings solely of the Three Dimensions.

But thankfully, Zeraphine always had her mother.

But her birth and her growth were always an issue among all the Primes and Principals as it was believed that Zephirus had breached the rules set and had bestowed numerous techs to Zeraphine at her birth.

And because of all the chaos, Zeraphine and her mother became the target of various secret attacks.

And yet, despite all the hardships they faced for a few years, Zephirus never acted but would always charge the two to keep fighting and generally kept himself distant from Zeraphine.

Zeraphine saw these visions.

Finally, she saw the scene that she had tried to forget.

She saw her mother, who later died mysteriously.

Zeraphine saw her mother on her death bed.

"Where is he?! Where is he in all this?! This kind of illness! He can cure it!" Zeraphine wept.

"Zera. Don't blame your father. You will understand soon. But now, live your life and try to rise the ranks!" Her mother urged her to her death bed.

The vision appeared, and Zeraphine couldn't understand why her mother kept believing that Prime Zephirus loved her even when he never appeared to help or save her.

"Mother..."

Zeraphine saw the scenes that were locked up in her heart. But all of a sudden, the entire vision changed!

She saw the dreams morph as if it was forcibly becoming something else.

She saw a strange scene that she had never seen in her memories.

It was her! She was with Seeker.

They had a date in a fancy restaurant. But instead of using the body of Lara, she was using her real body.

"Hey, Zeek!" Zeraphine smiled as he found Seeker waiting at a certain shop. Seeker was older and had corporate attire.

"Zera! You're early!" Seeker was surprised and stood up.

"I was suddenly free. So you're still staying here? You know, you're too smart and better for them. Have you tried applying at that company I told you about?" Zeraphine asked.

"Nah. I like it here. The people are great, and the pay's alright."

"You could be someone better, you know? There are better places for you to have an opportunity to reach for the stars." Zeraphine urged.

"Why?"

"Why do you mean why?" Zeraphine frowned.

"Why do I have to reach for the stars? Can't I just be here on earth?" Seeker chuckled.

Zeraphine was confused as she saw that scene.

"This was the first time we hung out. It wasn't a date. It was just two friends hanging out. Back then, I still gave myself to the pleasures of the earth as I tried to become a Principal. I've had my fill of all the artists and hot ones the world had to offer. But... I was really enjoying his company. He was the first real earthling that I befriended." A voice spoke.

Zeraphine couldn't understand as she searched everywhere for the voice's source.

"It was there that I realized something was wrong with me. I saw Seeker and envied his life of being rather lax. He knew when to stop. He knew when to enjoy life. As opposed to me, who sought to become a Conqueror. In that life, he was my miracle. He showed me a life that I longed for. I wanted to be free but couldn't free myself from the curse. In the end, I couldn't kill him. I thought I didn't become his ally for my love for my family and race. But I realize... it was something else. My nature was simply designed to be against him. I couldn't kill him, nor could I ally with him."

The scenes began to change.

Zeraphine saw herself plot against Seeker, leading to the death of numerous allies.

Even then, Zeraphine pretended to be Seeker's ally and wept with him when he wept. And rejoiced when they won.

Even Lennox and Arthur did not suspect Zeraphine, nor did the rest of the Overcomers.

Zeraphine was becoming more and more confused as she saw everything.

But the more she saw, the more pain she felt. It was as if she was regretting everything that she did.

"Seeker now may be gone forever. Do something." The last message was sent, and Zeraphine was finally awakened.

"Where...?" She was confused.

"You really took your time, Princess. The battle has started." A woman stood in front of her. But this time, Zoe didn't have her usual form.

"Shackstress?!" Zeraphine was stunned.

"Yes. I'm dead. The Progenitor won, and now, I'm like this soul guarding his kid." Shackstress laughed.

"That dream...! What was it?"

"Dream? Princess, I don't specialize in this tech. Garenjazz does. And he's about to kill your boyfriend. Can you help him?" Shackstress asked.

Zeraphine glanced to the heavens. She somehow couldn't understand her emotions. She knew it was a dream but so painful and real.

"Seeker!" Zeraphine shouted and powerful energy formed around her. Her power in the soul was revealed. Her entire Nefilus Suit and Throne became her soul as she flew towards where the battle was about to start.

'Zoe' chuckled as she saw that.

"Quite an interesting way to awaken her from that dream..." Shackstress laughed.

"How did it work? This dreamworld was showing Zeraphine the deepest fears and most painful memories of her mind. But you managed to change it easily!"

"Haven't you been listening to any of Eagle's sermons? Who knows a person's thoughts except for the spirit of that person, which is in him? 1 Corinthians 2. My soul is the only thing that can affect her like that. For a split second, she felt what I felt. And I simply allowed myself to be affected by this dream world. And she saw my dream."

"Those words you told her. You're attempting to free her from the Primordial's curse, aren't you?"

"If I want to be reborn and merge with her soul, it has to be free from the same limitations! I have to purge the influence of the Primordial, or at least weaken it!" Zeraphine explained.

"Let's go. It's time for us to use this power..." Zeraphine chuckled as she was excited to use it.

'Zoe' flew up high once more and headed towards the battle zone.

Unlike before, the entire dream world had shrunk. Most of the entire world was compressed and took its form in Garenjazz's body.

Garenjazz was indignant at the progression of events.

He had felt his luck run extremely low when he touched Vender.

In fact, the contact he made with Vender hurt him, and he felt a strange distortion that could not be fixed.

"The Lost Primordial! What exactly did he experiment on?! How can something like that exist?!" Garenjazz cursed.

He had no choice but to block and use his powers to form the Combat Body and block the attack!

The two Seekers and Lynd stood. Vender was next to them and was still unconscious.

"Incredible. If Vender weren't caught, it wouldn't have gone this way..." Lynd was amazed.

"Seeker!" Zeraphine arrived. Her form was her own body, but she had bright white energy moving out of her.

"That form! That's Zethayne Light!" The Adult Seeker was amazed.

"So you're the Progenitor... You look very... much like Seeker!"

"Obviously, he's sort of like my clone. What power is that?"

"Progenitor. This is the soul's form. This is the body that I was blessed with. Soul. Among Presiders, it's useless, since this power can only be used when Principals who can fight in multiple dimensions do." Zeraphine answered.

"Zeraphine! Get back! It's too dangerous!" Seeker pleaded.

"Are you here to fight with us?" The Adult asked.

"Your ward doesn't seem to have any intention of letting go of Vender. So I have Prima Donna here in some cease-fire."

"Prima Donna?"

Lynd flinched as he heard that title.

"Zeraphine! Tell Garenjazz to stop!" Seeker urged.

"Garenjazz!" Zeraphine shouted.

The Combat Body of Garenjazz was complete, and the form that seemed to contain a universe inside of him stood.

"Zeraphine... I guess my duties as a ward is over."

"Let this man go! Seeker and the Progenitor won't fight you! Neither will I! You can fight the Prima Donna for all we care?"

"It's not going to work." The Adult sighed.

"What?"

"Seeker. Zeraphine. He has discovered the ace that was meant to be used against him soon." The Adult pointed at Vender.

"What?!" Seeker and Zeraphine were stunned.

"I don't know what happened. But luck was on Garenjazz's side. It unveiled the power that could defeat him!" The Adult answered.

"Indeed it has. That man must die. I cannot become a Conqueror if he draws breath! Zeraphine! My luck's being tested! I will try to spare you! But I hope luck is on your side after this!"
