PHASE ONE
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlH5MDR8mm
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg4mTx2dIr
"You said the timeline of the ranks of existence has been distorted." Ormius repeated.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UeSkuajjP
"Yes lord Ormius", the man kneeling behind him answered.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFaCBb4U9u
"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 ?"
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMKjROHlRf
"And the Erama ?" Ormius asked further.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV3xK9FP4I
"There has clearly been a distortion of its dimensions.", The man replied.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs7XkcXRRn
"A distortion", Ormius sighed as he walked past the kneeling man into the dense winds, "make sure you find who it is Ortival."
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQZGmbb0gN
"Yes my lord", the man replied fading into the air.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sogi5E64i
"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 ..."
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGS4oTU5Fc
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKrZ4u70Aq
"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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LMhIagZyv
"Those godly bastards ..." Fang smirked, none of them was going to escape his wrath.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmJrQe1Rvu
"So it's true as they say", Fang heard that female voice coming form behind him.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXfv2Fu70p
The speaker's identity was someone who Balkyre Fang was familiar with all his life.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lyHPvB17Q
"Why feign ignorance", Fang answered rising from his seat at the table, "when we've been playing in your palms all this while Theonis ?"
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2fmBiqaTb
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyuazQet7W
"What makes you so bold to stare at your elder sister in such a manner ?" Theonis spat.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zqEiFNZLe
"That's because you're in the position of being seen as the prey." Fang answered.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wp1aJqhEF
"A drunkard's riddle", Theonis brushed Fang's reply aside.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy3LxXrXv1
"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."
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy5m2DKFi6
"Vague statements". Theonis cuddled the cat in her hands.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWusHekE3Sa
"Didn't Arman and Dartor pass my message ?"
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JHoJ1MBFs
Theonis felt like exploding, so Fang was the one who had tortured her subordinates to death.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCurXiEDKQY
"You won't get away with this Fang", she smiled.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ne8XFrR5R
"Remember Arman's dying words", Fang reminded, "Balkyre Fang is a demon."
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKPAblulzJ
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoAOnrB5oQ
"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."
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxFTxGJmli
PHASE TWO
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMTWHe9eDr
"Morca Olan", arch sage Verna repeated her question, "are you the one toying with the dimensions of the Erama ?"
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcCb9ZUaZV
"Why", Morca Olan sighed, "wouldn't I do it if I had the power to."
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISMfRgWe17
"Why wouldn't you ?" Verna echoed.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dlZYLwE14
"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 ?"
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS0oytxBmF
"I'm the one asking the questions here", Verna probed calmly.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZxL9IA6SW
"And it so happens", Olan replied sitting on his throne, "that my answers are also questions."
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SxOwiEaPx
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5egsqNw6j
"So you're trying to justify your ignorance ?" She asked.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozctnnnop9
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIOQmrTwIu
"So you meant to find out if I was the one !" Morca hollered.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUpgQtLLa5
"Why else do you think I'm here", Verna repeated.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBTlIQyjnA
"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 ?"
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ0WT9BsBW
"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 ?"
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdWBU4Arjy
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Dv8qi38v
PHASE THREE
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto9novOeYd
"Rising to the peak of existence", the man in a red leather outfit said, "the tools of the underworld really is a disaster."
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjKGaZIPVP
"Why not make the conflict more conflicting lord Legacy ?" The being in a brown robe standing behind Legacy said.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VUJOyEnJv
"Making the conflict more conflicting isn't worth it", Legacy replied, "the winner of this war is already clear."
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ779RSlg77J
"Then what's the need to fight a battle that has already been won ?"
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzttsRbUKib
"As if you don't know already First Grandeur." Legacy sighed.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCDHFJdmpA
"The Calamities are about to be released my lord." First Grandeur bowed.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zMXt1jFkC
"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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAxJSS6LAE
"Well Theonis really hasn't learned !" Fang said aloud as walked through the path leading to his mansion.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SJ8xRQhlf
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mhmjRiG8J
"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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15BKCLRbjK
"What's wrong with that Balkyre Erva ?" Magrez replied with a grin.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeotsHaVwk8
"It's just that", Erva smirked, "your flower of hope will soon be nipped in the bud."
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyEZZncied
"Isn't this the second attempt."
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7Y01XMHzI
Erva's eyebrows twitched for a moment, then the smile returned.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVTkUMEtaM
"So you were aware all this while weren't you ?" Erva tagged.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflWBSFRDtY
"If I wasn't there still wouldn't have been any problem." The prince replied.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMg2i5LS7z
"Confident indeed", Erva saluted, his arm still clasped with the prince's, "but one victory doesn't guarantee that you've wine the war."
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf22ZLIeVto
"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."
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBRoTLirgm
Watching the prince walk away, Erva beckoned a steward to give him a glass of wine.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar9DDh1agE
"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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxfvwo00eL
"Only a monster is capable of subduing the seven elite families father, and", Megraz said, "Balkyre Fang is that monster."
