PHASE ONE
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj5AuLKayS
His regal robes fluttering with the passing winds of this desert's swirling dunes, Ormius held that whip in his left hand, the insignia of the gods of godsland.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDiN7bOCGQ
"You said the timeline of the ranks of existence has been distorted." Ormius repeated.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvfurK5YFR
"Yes lord Ormius", the man kneeling behind him answered.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrV1DNuLKW
"Who is it", Ormius snarled, his fangs digging into his lips, the blood trickling down his jaws, "that would dare defy the the will of the cadre of gods ?"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIgU0mua14
"And the Erama ?" Ormius asked further.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEzob2FhAM
"There has clearly been a distortion of its dimensions.", The man replied.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6fqmfJT5F
"A distortion", Ormius sighed as he walked past the kneeling man into the dense winds, "make sure you find who it is Ortival."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWw2bUQ3iP
"Yes my lord", the man replied fading into the air.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTTzsq8fRk
"I thought after the downfall of that arrogant rat things would end up going the way I planned", Ormius said to himself as he walked through the desert winds, "But thousands of years after the death of Secregard, I still haven't been able to gain the control of the ranks of existence, with the cadre of gods about to rebel, each god scheming over having me ousted, the three Balances planning to bring forth the downfall of the gods, and ..."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGnoHLnMkD
The skies thundered as Ormius paused, those purple streaks of flames trailing down from the burning skies like spears, striking the ground they set this entire terrain ablaze.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe0XeqUCry
"And that bastard's riddle of time", Ormius sighed, "Secregard", he snarled, "even before your death, you had already made things difficult for me."

Balkyre Fang watched the ticking hands of the stopwatch in his palms, Ormius hadn't seen anything yet, Fang smiled. When he was done crushing these mites, he was going to come after them.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPFJrImPFj
"Those godly bastards ..." Fang smirked, none of them was going to escape his wrath.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaDGuiIPER
"So it's true as they say", Fang heard that female voice coming form behind him.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb7gEIBz98
The speaker's identity was someone who Balkyre Fang was familiar with all his life.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCOnLcVQGb
"Why feign ignorance", Fang answered rising from his seat at the table, "when we've been playing in your palms all this while Theonis ?"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SvAjXUKcP
Theonis growled, she felt like tearing this brat alive, her purple eyes blazing, Theonis was confronted with another gaze as irritating as the gaze of their father, the patriarch, Duke Balkyre Mor.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa4cOnz02W
"What makes you so bold to stare at your elder sister in such a manner ?" Theonis spat.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XzfXZqO3a
"That's because you're in the position of being seen as the prey." Fang answered.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ykBHDxisZ
"A drunkard's riddle", Theonis brushed Fang's reply aside.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nd62lTbL2
"Don't think I don't know why you're here Theonis", Fang whistled staring at the stopwatch, "since you didn't bother to ask yourself, I'll do the talking."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g1Ba3EwZt
"Vague statements". Theonis cuddled the cat in her hands.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZNArIdnSb
"Didn't Arman and Dartor pass my message ?"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTBhdcNSIk
Theonis felt like exploding, so Fang was the one who had tortured her subordinates to death.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiLPlYVTUb
"You won't get away with this Fang", she smiled.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJT8QGM2FV
"Remember Arman's dying words", Fang reminded, "Balkyre Fang is a demon."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYjmFUf6s3
That cold sensation ran down Theonis' spine, why did it fell like she was actually standing before a demon. Fangs eyes were completed different from those of a drunkard, it was the eyes of a beast staring back at her.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F84y116fh
"I'll only tell you this", Fang said walking away, "to me, this game of power already has a winner and that winner is me."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnsJa04quB
PHASE TWO
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3St1wnG3B
"Morca Olan", arch sage Verna repeated her question, "are you the one toying with the dimensions of the Erama ?"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgczdvHPuU
"Why", Morca Olan sighed, "wouldn't I do it if I had the power to."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCmhdQxqoz
"Why wouldn't you ?" Verna echoed.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCaRdot9PU
"That statement doesn't exempt the Sage Majors Verna", Morca Olan continued as he strode gracefully to his throne, "wouldn't you have tried to alter fate a bit, if you had the power to do so ?"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7NbI6aeek
"I'm the one asking the questions here", Verna probed calmly.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXZPN1shaH
"And it so happens", Olan replied sitting on his throne, "that my answers are also questions."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzqFQ9yy3Z
Arch sage Verna knew coming to face an adversary would likely yield no result, but it seemed that Morca Olan was both aware of what was going on with the Erama and at the same time also ignorant of who was capable of causing such a phenomenal shift in the transition of existence.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZrQ76khen
"So you're trying to justify your ignorance ?" She asked.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho6wluOjfE
The winds blew through the windows of Morca Olan's castle, the wolves howling from the hills, a red moon and screeching bats, this was a world devoid of sanity and light, the very meaning of darkness itself. Staring at the statues of gargoyles lining the sides of his throneroom, that wry smile took over Olan's lips, making him suddenly exploded into laughter.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHkcqsB3AY
"So you meant to find out if I was the one !" Morca hollered.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4YyZOTvYJ
"Why else do you think I'm here", Verna repeated.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8C2pryCKc
"We aren't innocent either are we ?" Morca continued, "Forming an alliance with the Waves, do you think you're the only one capable of harnessing the reins of celestial power Verna ?"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1SGPRhoXL
"Just as I had imagined", she sighed, "you already know. But", Her fangs baring themselves unveiled that beastly smile, "how does it affect this game of gods ?"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97RY3X5PQE
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhyCKlQ05t
PHASE THREE
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgS5QZJrlD
"Rising to the peak of existence", the man in a red leather outfit said, "the tools of the underworld really is a disaster."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lK9ry7ZGh
"Why not make the conflict more conflicting lord Legacy ?" The being in a brown robe standing behind Legacy said.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L95qNbTnD
"Making the conflict more conflicting isn't worth it", Legacy replied, "the winner of this war is already clear."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL7bBBXxoh
"Then what's the need to fight a battle that has already been won ?"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2pbMoGZ8S
"As if you don't know already First Grandeur." Legacy sighed.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoYCnr0GKb
"The Calamities are about to be released my lord." First Grandeur bowed.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuHLoNgquZ
"Now", Legacy smiled, "this is a better game to watch."

The wind whistled past him as he made his way through the bends of the streets of Malma. Fang could sense that feeling, it was murderous, but not murderous enough to make even a hair on his skin stand.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5em31lA8q
"Well Theonis really hasn't learned !" Fang said aloud as walked through the path leading to his mansion.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rqk4XVRXH
To each side of the road was an endless stretch of trees, their crooked branches like the claws of Waregoyles and their fruits like the eyes of ravenous bloodsucking bats, this orchard resonated the foreboding event about to be witnessed.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtc79Qi7nQ
"Finally", Fang said as he saw that figure walk out from the shadows, "you've arrived."

"I can see that you've found a reliable companion his majesty, prince Magrez", Balkyre Erva whispered into the prince's right after clasping arms.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77OguUG7a0
"What's wrong with that Balkyre Erva ?" Magrez replied with a grin.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxVYt8Qkgi
"It's just that", Erva smirked, "your flower of hope will soon be nipped in the bud."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK32O71W57o
"Isn't this the second attempt."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhQhBTIMW1
Erva's eyebrows twitched for a moment, then the smile returned.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiMVfCM8SS
"So you were aware all this while weren't you ?" Erva tagged.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6TO6o7mxO
"If I wasn't there still wouldn't have been any problem." The prince replied.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerEiJ50Sop
"Confident indeed", Erva saluted, his arm still clasped with the prince's, "but one victory doesn't guarantee that you've wine the war."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc5XNa2q5f
"And a war is made up of single victories", said the prince, "make sure", Magrez released himself from Erva's grip, "that you aren't the next to fall under my claws."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvYoB2tp32
Watching the prince walk away, Erva beckoned a steward to give him a glass of wine.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejNC7CzbGW
"Refreshing", Erva sighed, "really refreshing, knowing in advance, yet still confident in that brat's capabilities. What is so intriguing about Fang, that makes even the prince this arrogant."

Climbing into that carriage, Megraz's gaze met the other seated figure's.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkpduL7OuC
"Only a monster is capable of subduing the seven elite families father, and", Megraz said, "Balkyre Fang is that monster."
