PHASE ONE
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fwraXj9Ya
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHPeFOkpV2
"You said the timeline of the ranks of existence has been distorted." Ormius repeated.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUgZc0861Q
"Yes lord Ormius", the man kneeling behind him answered.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6jMdOSpJx
"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 ?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIhWGfBXnf
"And the Erama ?" Ormius asked further.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3lvvuBAZ6
"There has clearly been a distortion of its dimensions.", The man replied.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUQtM1Ki4X
"A distortion", Ormius sighed as he walked past the kneeling man into the dense winds, "make sure you find who it is Ortival."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeKn2nrk1L
"Yes my lord", the man replied fading into the air.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiKqCGrBZU
"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 ..."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXJbLEk9fv
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUZ42ORkxo
"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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiX0ZaeW29
"Those godly bastards ..." Fang smirked, none of them was going to escape his wrath.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnmn0uCoYx
"So it's true as they say", Fang heard that female voice coming form behind him.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3MBt6wDn8
The speaker's identity was someone who Balkyre Fang was familiar with all his life.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwSxrzWfuu
"Why feign ignorance", Fang answered rising from his seat at the table, "when we've been playing in your palms all this while Theonis ?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4pHrCDoXo
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ24NckKYW
"What makes you so bold to stare at your elder sister in such a manner ?" Theonis spat.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzqwlrewtx
"That's because you're in the position of being seen as the prey." Fang answered.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK228dD9zRi
"A drunkard's riddle", Theonis brushed Fang's reply aside.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHsY2vEeRJ
"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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rX5bNFBii
"Vague statements". Theonis cuddled the cat in her hands.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUkGX113mK
"Didn't Arman and Dartor pass my message ?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUhPKyGEKM
Theonis felt like exploding, so Fang was the one who had tortured her subordinates to death.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvOOQBYhV4
"You won't get away with this Fang", she smiled.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTVqEjjQu6
"Remember Arman's dying words", Fang reminded, "Balkyre Fang is a demon."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsClZNsHtl
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuBI0J8HwV
"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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSjn3E2hZ2
PHASE TWO
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6rOiGlySN
"Morca Olan", arch sage Verna repeated her question, "are you the one toying with the dimensions of the Erama ?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJnPNRfIaG
"Why", Morca Olan sighed, "wouldn't I do it if I had the power to."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqFzzwfwsr
"Why wouldn't you ?" Verna echoed.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxM6slkTiI
"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 ?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXzBcQOkdq
"I'm the one asking the questions here", Verna probed calmly.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkWC0ramf2
"And it so happens", Olan replied sitting on his throne, "that my answers are also questions."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMClpFZlk8
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVoJRJn1QG
"So you're trying to justify your ignorance ?" She asked.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4ghBtZwkY
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22XN8VQnHr
"So you meant to find out if I was the one !" Morca hollered.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9I6kCBpYt
"Why else do you think I'm here", Verna repeated.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtivTdxWO2A
"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 ?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T6qDXuIC9
"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 ?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hzWkhxzlf
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rhhTKj1KE
PHASE THREE
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kMPXjNZIi
"Rising to the peak of existence", the man in a red leather outfit said, "the tools of the underworld really is a disaster."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g9D2Cz2Aq
"Why not make the conflict more conflicting lord Legacy ?" The being in a brown robe standing behind Legacy said.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTVEIvbsh0
"Making the conflict more conflicting isn't worth it", Legacy replied, "the winner of this war is already clear."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf6DiAEgDc
"Then what's the need to fight a battle that has already been won ?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu1LioUtB6
"As if you don't know already First Grandeur." Legacy sighed.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkKxJ4YIkg
"The Calamities are about to be released my lord." First Grandeur bowed.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGHEPSC39y
"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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTahWSOFt2J
"Well Theonis really hasn't learned !" Fang said aloud as walked through the path leading to his mansion.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JI8re7mMb
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4UKwlzYmx
"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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeJpWAG268
"What's wrong with that Balkyre Erva ?" Magrez replied with a grin.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAfSE6loyG
"It's just that", Erva smirked, "your flower of hope will soon be nipped in the bud."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmvlpzvZYQ
"Isn't this the second attempt."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZINd2LnZc
Erva's eyebrows twitched for a moment, then the smile returned.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgiM9owkcm
"So you were aware all this while weren't you ?" Erva tagged.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYJsgU632m
"If I wasn't there still wouldn't have been any problem." The prince replied.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7ksxfoUz1
"Confident indeed", Erva saluted, his arm still clasped with the prince's, "but one victory doesn't guarantee that you've wine the war."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtSBEsdOx8
"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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OyeTJZJjk
Watching the prince walk away, Erva beckoned a steward to give him a glass of wine.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXuoM05QPI
"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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cYRZvo5FD
"Only a monster is capable of subduing the seven elite families father, and", Megraz said, "Balkyre Fang is that monster."
