Re: Player

About 2 weeks ago, the 7 gods received a call from the higher gods and the heaven's guardians about a certain angel who had committed a taboo. They were to report immediately since supposedly the matter involved the entire fate of Zarraf.

The information was as such…

The name of the angel was Raphi. An angel with a minor authority over wind. Since she was a 2-Winged Angel, normally this wouldn't have been such a big issue but…

According to the sources, she landed near the Coast City, and was searching for the Heaven's Wheel. Something that shouldn't even exist in nature. Anyway, her reason for doing so was because her town was being erased from existence over some issues regarding demons and such.

From sources unknown, it was found that the Flame City where she lived before, her hometown, was in cahoots with demons. Though there was no concrete proof, just the source of the information was enough to mobilize the gods to make a move. It won't be long before that entire area is obliterated along with the people there.

Raphi, the Angel of Wind, flew to her closest friend, a Seer. She begged the seer to find a way to save her entire town. Someway that she can protect those she held dear. She was desperate, to say the least.

And that seer friend, after considering everything, out of pity, did a favor on the angel. It was the least she could do for her friend.

But what she saw was something that nobody expected in the entire history of the heavens.

It was the sight of a Giant Wheel covering the entire sky and land. A man in a red silhouette standing in front of the angel, Raphi, protecting her against gods and demons alike. Yeah, both gods and demons were present there.

There were beings with powers beyond the gods on that battlefield. A heaven's guardian bleeding on his knees. A blue-haired boy with long hair and powers comparable to those of higher gods. Son of Laplace and demons from the demonic realm.

The Hell's Guardian, Vampire Queen, also stood there observing the whole thing with her own two eyes, with two Inspectors of Hell, Milliam and Ursila, standing alongside her, waiting for her command.

And finally, there was him, Adam. Standing in the midst of the battlefield, smiling as usual while he observed the entire thing, without a speck of worry on his face.

That was the vision that the seer saw.

Hearing what the seer told Raphi, hope ignited in her eyes as she prepared to descend to that place that her friend saw the scene of. Thanking the seer, Raphi flew away from there immediately and was nowhere to be found afterwards.

While things could have been under control still, but the foresight that the seer saw… it wasn't something that she could keep to herself. She could feel that this was something that could potentially tilt the entire planet.

And thus, the seer, with terror filled in her eyes, reached the All Father, telling him about everything she saw.

While the other gods snickered and laughed at that little seer, the All Father and other higher gods who had survived millennia had something altogether different in their mind.

'Could it be him?'

A deep memory had resurfaced in their head. It was something that they had been waiting for a very long time. A rematch, to say the least.

"Find each and every person she saw in her vision. LEAVE NO ONE!! IT'S A COMMAND OF THE HIGHEST ORDER! FIND EVERYONE SHE SAW IN THE VISION."

The All Father seemed rather excited at the time as he issued that order. And thus, began the conquest of finding all the people from that vision. And the heavens… it came into an uproar.

The gods who were snickering and bickering just before, now, were confused with the issuance of the command. They looked at each other before they too began searching for the people responsible. Since the All-Father had already commanded, there was no point in putting up any voice against it.

But there was another twist. Other than the angel, nobody knew about anyone else present in the vision. Sure, they had heard in bits about one person or another, but nobody knew the main personnel involved. To be honest, they didn't even know about the angel that well, either.

Matter of fact, not even the Heaven's Guardian present on the battlefield was someone the seer recognized. Even Adam, whom people had only heard little about as someone that nobody had concrete information about where he was or, in fact, who he was.

All except for two people, that is.

Goddess of Light Alepsia and her sister, Valencia.

Both of them were called and presented in front of the higher gods. As obvious, the All Father asked them of Adam, to which they both replied that they didn't know the current whereabouts of him. He was last seen in Hell, from where he appeared in Border Town, and then disappeared again.

Sadly, this answer wasn't what the All Father wanted.

"Bring me Adam in 1 month. Or else I will kill Valencia."

So he captured Valencia and ordered Alepsia.

Which led Alepsia to this point where they both met. She harbored some other thoughts for Adam, but then decided to trust Adam over All Father. Since the All Father wasn't exactly a man of his words.

Nothing personal. But even if she gave Adam to him, there was a high chance he wouldn't let Valencia go. But that's if she could capture him in the first place.

There were inconsistencies in Alepsia's story, but since they were in this [Zero Space] where nobody can lie, Adam didn't ask any prodding questions. He left them after she had told the entire story.

But as the story reached its end, his eyes were less than joyful and were pretty serious.

He sat quietly for a few moments as Queina and Alepsia both observed him sitting there with his hands at the back. Closing his eyes, he stretched a little and turned his face up while taking a deep breath before letting it all out.

And then, opening his eyes, he smiled a little.

"This makes things a little better."
