Will of chaos



Pov Xagar (Templar of Light): 

I wake up with my heart racing, in my mind I go over everything that happened in the dream and just to make sure it wasn't just a dream I started to meditate to look inside myself, that's when I found that next to my heart. 

"Hahahahahaha... finally, finally the wait is over... Hahahahahshahaha..." (I) 

Emotion welled up inside me to the point where my happiness turned to sadness, my laughter turned to tears and finally, only fury was left unbounded now that there was a way. 

I spread my wings lifting the dust accumulated in this room while getting up from the floor where I was sleeping with my back to the wall. 

I look at the armor and sword that were lying on the bed, the armor I was once proud to wear and the sword I once swore in an oath of justice, now these two objects are a source of revulsion and shame for my naivety. 

"How could I have been so blind in the past, how could I have been so bold in taking an oath of justice when I didn't even have an understanding of the meaning of justice?" (I) 

I leave everything in this room behind taking only a single piece of clothing so I don't stand out and head to the training ground, the sun is still rising so she must be there. 

I do my best to contain my emotions knowing that I cannot fail when I am so close to being freed from this abyss I once walked into smiling. 

"(The naive boy that day didn't know what he was getting into...)" (I) 

With my speed and the fact that the halls were empty at this time of the morning, I managed to quickly reach the recruits' training ground, just as I thought, she was already there wearing light clothes and holding a wooden spear in her hands. 

"Your spear handling is different, your eyes too." (I) 

"Did you find him too?" (Fiona) 

"Yes, and from what I feel coming from you, you seem to have received something, I shouldn't have come here if I can feel it others can too." (I) 

"It doesn't matter, it won't be long now." (Fiona) 

"Yes, I just didn't want to pass up this chance and came to talk to you." (I) 

"Thanks for the advice..." (I) 

"Don't thank me, I did it because I finally found someone who opened her eyes and she said everyone deserves a chance, I don't know if I would be able to make the same choice today." (Fiona) 

"Yes, I hope I'll be able to do something I can really be proud of next time..." (I) 

I use my Aura on one of my open hands, then slash my hand through my own heart like a blade. 

I feel the blood draining from my body, but I couldn't help but smile, if I'm going to die or live now I don't care, I did everything I could and now I let my will reveal itself with this act hoping to be right. 

"(May your will and Darkness bring you back from the gates of death, in the name of Zenos!)" 

A scream echoes through my mind as the thing next to my heart sends cold energy rushing through my body, my shattered heart consumed by that energy as it changes. 

My whole body was screaming in pain, I didn't know how much time had passed, but when I opened my eyes everything felt different, my senses were much stronger, which only made the suffering that followed worse as I felt my whole body burn, even the air I breathed burned my lungs. 

I also felt the mark on my back burn as it was expelled from my body, from now on I was truly free. 

"INTRUDER!!!!" 

"You are starting to earn my respect." (Fiona) 

Suddenly a bubble of energy covers my body, when I roll my eyes the same thing happened to Fiona, then suddenly I feel like my vision is blurred as I lose the ability to feel the outside of the bubble for a few seconds and then the feeling comes of oppression I was feeling disappear.

Pov Zenos: 

I see my sister approach me still munching on that enemy, me still sharing many of her senses, which made me feel the taste and texture of what she was munching, not to mention I was seeing myself from her perspective, which she was doing I get dizzy. 

"< Mental Restoration >" (Caitlyn) 

Caitlyn steps through the bubble of energy around us and places her hand on my head, in her current adult guise she is taller than I am. 

Soon a strange energy runs through my body spreading further increasing my body's recovery speed, Even though it's not my real body the damage to it seems to have affected me even more than physical damage. 

After Caitlyn helped me she spit out what was in her mouth and it was an egg made of blue and black scales, so Caitlyn slashes her own wrist pouring her blood over the egg before using the golden liquid she collected earlier to infuse the egg. 

As soon as these things were over, I felt all of her energy in Aura, Authority, and Holy Power flowing into the egg as she returned to her usual childish appearance. 

When all this was over, the egg that was the size of her head landed in her hands, I looked at her noticing her tiredness, so she throws herself into my arms before snuggling up hugging the egg. 

I didn't even have time to process everything that was happening when everything around us lost its colors fading little by little, so when I realized I was already in the secret room under the surface of the Moon. 

When I look I see my sister still in my arms hugging the same egg I saw before, I also felt the weakness for my Holy Power being sucked out of me. 

"Are you well?" (Nix) 

"Need something?" (Layla) 

"Do you need me to carry your sister?" (Hades) 

"I'm fine, just a little weak, I can also take my sister without having to worry." (I) 

Everyone was crowding around to see if I was okay, but I can't blame them when I was more ragged than a Zombie in this place. 

"Zenos, how was the plan?" (Alan) 

"It went well, looks like we've caught up with everyone, but I don't know the details yet." (I) 

"I can collect everyone's information and compile it into a report if you wish." (Hades) 

"That would help a lot, thanks Hades." (I) 

"I'll start now." (Hades) 

After that, I left along with my sister and the Hero leaving one of the Hero's companions along with my companions to clear the room of any traces of this Magical Ritual before Navar arrived to create his own Ritual to bring everyone to the dawn. 

While the others were busy I told the Hero what happened from my point of view, mainly the part about us being attacked, in turn the Hero explained about the emergence of a strange presence in the ritual, but he didn't show up here personally and no one else even arrived. 

"We have to hurry with the second part of the plan before more of them arrive, this time we had an advantage, but don't expect the same next time." (I) 

"I never count on luck, I have contingency plans, I just prefer not to use those plans as it will give away our position." (Alan) 

Navar arrived a short time later, she was watching outside along with Zadiris who are the two biggest forces I know here, Navar now entered because unlike me who had to reach each person individually at a time, Navar can use the marks he we gave it to them as a signal pulling them all at once in seconds. 

Cleaning up a magical ritual was quick as was Navar's efficiency in putting together her own ritual almost instantly. 

"All ready." (Navar) 

"How is the Dungeon?" (Navar) 

"Alright, Nix is at the Dungeon entrance waiting to guide people with his Spirits." (I) 

The temporary atmosphere that was also created here will also be of great help, not all of them are in the best condition after being under the Church of Light's confinement for so long. 

"Then I will begin." (Navar) 

"< Star Movement: Star Brand Summoning >" (Navar) 

Soon I feel an absurd amount of Space Element Magic and Authority emanating from Navar's body like a burst dam, the amount of power coming out of her is more than double mine, not to mention the fine control she has of her energy not letting it spread to the surroundings, each strand of energy going to the magical ritual that activates quickly. 

It was at that moment that the magic circle grew until it took the entire large room completely, then the space began to ripple and soon small shiny spheres began to appear, growing more and more, in a short time I became the size of people, that's when the spheres began lightening along with the ripples in space stabilizing. 

When Navar deactivated the magic there were already tens of thousands of people crowded here, but everyone had different expressions and he could see that soon there would be a chaos of conversations between them. 

"Use your Aura to focus everyone on you, we're there if you need anything else." (Ragnar) 

"All good." (I) 

I just do what Ragnar suggested, spread my Aura across the room, and do a little trick for my voice to be transmitted through my Aura so everyone will hear me, luckily my Aura was enough to make all their eyes focus on me, and those around me that these people knew in their dreams.
