Universe TR182Q

Planet Euderia

Blue Pearl Continient

Sacred City of Raehos

----------------------------

Sacred City of Raehos, home to the Temple of Goddess of Order and Chaos. Raehos is unlike the Holy City Luminous which worship God Of Light as the only Supreme one, it believe that everything is governed by the Primordial Force of Order and Chaos, Rae; which is managed by the Great Goddess of Order and Chaos. Who is called Ananta by her devotees. A foreign word from a far away world which is said to symbolise the most primitive aspect of the Goddess 'Endless'.

She is a figure shrouded by the thickest fog in the land of Euderia. Among many of her quircks one was Hero Summoning which led to the descent of Saint Alfred in past. Her secret formation was eventually taken by Ancient Magic Empire which improvised it for eons, only letting it reside in the hands of Pheonix Family who later became Imperial Family of Rising Phoenix Empire.

While the secret of Hero Summoning formation was lost in the annals of history, it doesn't mean that it didn't exist.

And today is the day it will be activated the Fourth Time, propelled by the hopes of many who want to end this tribulant era of the so called 'War of Supremacy'.

"Hut! Hut! Hut! Move faster You Worthless Pig!" (Guard 1)

"Lord Francis has bestowed mercy on you lot. Worthless leechs like you, who only knows to eat and shit, has been given a Holy Mendate of helping the descent of our own Saint." (Guard 2)

"Yes, like this. Stand in the circle as per the diagram...You Dumbass prick at the left end. Yeah you prick stand tall and stay in that position...Oh do you want to go bathroom, then spend your whole life there, Executioner!!" (Guard 4)

"This is sure a bountiful job. Even to ensure them standing at the same position for few hours we will be getting double bonus this year. This came just in time when these idiots were becoming more and more daring. We have to remind them who is the boss of Central Jail." (Guard 3)

"Hey Kevin, do you know why we are getting them line up in shapes like this." (Guard 5)

"Yeah! Your father is working in the Temple, you must have known something, even Chief warden Jack is not telling us anything." (Guard 4)

"My father is only a clerk for Goddess's Sake! Not a priest." (Guard 3)

"Swindler Kevin you can stop your lazy tricks, just say you want your commission for the news." G2

"What Swindler! Your daddy here is a guard of prison and if you want to obtain news beyond your means I am not obliged to tell them in free. Go don't waste time or our warden will double our shift!" (Guard 3)

"Tsk, lets leave him alone. This little man is still in pubes. Let me tell you what I heard from a priest when I was on night duty, you guys will be thrilled!!"

"Quick Tell us Holmes!"

"Hehe, listen carefully...Our city is going to summon our own hero!"

"Summoning Ceremony? Don't make such a joke, we are not Empire who can summon Heroes as they want." (Guard 1)

"Yeah stop bullshitting! It is fine if you don't dare to tell truth but don't make joke like this. I bet these White Tunics are performing a nefarious ceremony. They will surely suck blood of these prisoners! After that will be our number!" (Guard 5)

"You lot, stop gossiping like little lasses!! Get work to work. Now make sure that everything is in the correct position or else I will post you to that Bloody Hall for a month!!" (Jack)

"Jack it is not that we don't want to work but this crazy Harry is spouting nonsensical thoughts like we are participating in a demonic ceremony." (Guard 3)

"You lot just work as you were told to. This is the order of Director Arnold, not mine. As far as Harry's question is concerned, even I don't know much...besides the fact that we are indeed performing a Summoning Ceremony." (Jack smirked a little at the end of his words.)

"Jack is it true we are performing Hero Summoning!? Empire has already called upon heroes last year. And our Raehos also gave Holy Weapons to them. Why are we doing this." (Guard 2)

"Tch, what do you know. The Rising Pheonix Empire indeed summoned Heroes but none of them managed to defeat the Demon Queen and Beast King Alliance. Moreover last time they were heavily injured in the Foggy Red Continent and this happened when their opponents were those Dark Elves. Who knows how they survived against Demon Queen in past if they can't even defeat some moles." (Guard 3)

"Ah! I thought that this was a fake rumour. If this is true then the human race is indeed facing loses in this war." (Guard1)

"Sigh, The whole continent is going crazy this time. Whats the use of waging war with those demons who don't even have good cities to live in? It is a assuring that we are fine as long as we stay in Raehos. I have even called my sister family to live with us for few years till the war gets over, demons specifically target merchants during the war." (Guard 5)

"...You Idiot! Your foot is outside the circle. Yeah I am talking to you idiot. Your toe is outside the line...What do you mean by you have big foot! Stand within the circle or I will make you a small foot one...Argh this is getting troublesome now. Jack, till when we have to hold the position." (Guard 3)

"Hm. It is about time. But it is getting a little late, you guys monitor them I will go with other Wardens to check on status with the Priest." (Jack)

The Temple of Goddesses of Order and Chaos is in a state of hyper drive as people could be seen going in and out with full of energy.

Not only priests but almost all the officials of city has gathered to the temple. This day is not the day of yearly festival of Tunis but a day which have robbed all the persons gathered here from their rest.

As a last resort to gather energy to fulfill the requirements of ceremony, prisoners were called upon to fill the numbers. Resulting in this chaotic mire.

But strangely not a sound could be heard to the citizens of city as a Tier 7 Stealth Cloud was laid down on all the temple, while closing the whole premises and the area around it. Not a Soul outside know about the event which will take place. Leaving outside even many insiders don't know correct details of today's ceremony.

And the source of all this hustle and bustle is also today's centre of action, The Temple of Order and Chaos. The temple is a beautiful one. Made by the team of indigenous and foreign talents. The whole team was one of the most acclaimed one in the field of architecture and it was a team which may not appear in future. It not only contained Humans and Beastkins but also Elves, Orcs, Maritime Clan, and was headed by High Elf Beatrice, a Level 9 Powerhouse.

The temple was made with Chaos Crystals, a special material only found in Red Wasteland in the Fenum Continent, home to demons. This crystal becomes blue in daylight and Violet in the presence of moonlight, displaying that if there is a day then there will always be night following it, Dharma of Order and Chaos remains eternal.

The centre of temple sports a conical head which made this temple's architecture near to Asian Temples of Earth. The temple itself is surrounded by two human made circles which are made up by the men wearing prison clothes.

Both circles are distinct in the sense that a not only different number of people are forming in, exactly 300 in inner and 400 I'm outer one, inner cicle is made by a black soil while outer one is made with the help of pure salt of the Great Pearl sea.

Inside the circle resides the Blue Majestic Temple which is connected with circles with the help of 8 lines, representing 8 major directions.

The temple courtyard is empty as all of the persons participating in the summon are collected in the inner sanctum where a Pentagram was laid down with its centre containing a pattern made of distorted lines which are forming a image of door.

The Pentagram's four ends were connected with golden lines which are actually the 8 direction lines converging into 4. Unlike black and white lines laid outside the golden lines were releasing a fair amount of magic elements as a golden liquid was filling up the diagram

Wall made of people is looking the whole process with hope and a slight tinge of restlessness. In teh centre besides the image of door a pretty maiden was sitting in pose of a prayer while actually murmuring some valid prayers. She is young lass but her features are covered in darkness as whole central circle was shrouded in obscurity. All of them are waiting to unlock the gate for the person who... may become their savior.
