The two stared at each other for what seemed to be hours, with the heckles of the chief abstracts coming to an end the sanctum fell silent.
"Maw...w-what" tera stuttered as she stared longingly towards maw. The entire sanctum focused their gaze on the two beings, yet the abstracts soon broke the silence with their thunderous voice.
"My lord Tera, umm what brings you here." One of the abstracts spoke as they got up from their seat.
Maw was shocked, their voices were different they had a hint of fear within them and to his surprise bowed their heads towards her. Yet non of the abstracts or cosmic beings seemed to have not cared almost as if they expected this reaction.
"Why is he bound in chains.." Tera spoke in a deep voice as she approached the centre of the sanctum. The faces of all the abstracts swiftly changed as their arrogant stares soon fell. Maw only smiled as the cosmic beings began to chuckle for the chief abstracts feared Tera greatly.
"Well Tera, as we discussed we realised there was a slight surge of power recently.....we finally deduced it was maw's return causing this and we felt we should have called an emergency summoning." The central abstract spoke as he stared towards her dark eyes, bellowing out the rage and contempt she felt towards them. "Yet Maw arrived much earlier than expected and at the eclipse itself which we took.."
"For a threat.."Tera cut him of in a cold and angered tone as she then turned her gaze towards maw. "I'd like to ask you this how does Maw returning from the boundless halls Warren as a threat."
"Exactly!!! You fucking bastards think you have totalitarian control over us and the multiverse yet when you see Tera you are all shaken to the core. And with the return of maw, the supreme being, you attempt to trial him. If that does not show corruption I do not know what does!!" A being spoke in the stands, his hair a golden blond and his armour a beautiful cream white. With a formidable great sword by his hand, it's hilt a vibrant gold with great gems set upon it and it's body a strong metal and visibly sharp to the touch. Many other cosmic being all began to pipe up in praise "well said Rianor!!" Many shouted but the lions in the abstracts faces darkened.
"How dare you speak to us in such a manner!!" Eliza shouted as she rose from her chair. The chief abstracts however said nothing, under the watchful gaze of Tera. The clash of the abstracts and cosmic entities had started with slurs and profanities being hurled about.
"Shut your mouth Eliza!!! You slut!!" One shouted with an abstract then responding with blast from the hands. The flash or red energy ripped throughout the sanctum, the cosmic beings yelled as they then hurled their attacks back. "Who the fuck do you think you are!!!" They shouted as the sanctum was enveloped in a orchestral show of vibrant colours.
Eliza soon clashed with air Rianor as their danced in a feared battle, with Rianor having completely master over the blade he wielded and came crushing down upon Eliza's golden whip. The cascading energy flew past maw as he looked at where Tera once stood, to his dismay she to was locked in a deadly duel against the chief abstracts. Her fierce fits sending wave after wave of pure magical energy at them. Things had escalated so quickly and it was all centred around him; the ropes the bound Maw to the pole soon snapped and a wave of blue light shocked throughout the sanctum. Everyone stopped. Maw stood there, no longer under the shackles of the seal binding ropes and it struck a chord in the souls of everyone present.
"CEASE YOUR FIGHTING." He spoke in a calm yet booming voice.
All including Tera were in shock with the sheer amount of power that he suddenly summoned. The room was silent as the chief abstracts looked upon maw with terror, they all soon sat down with the abstracts not making eye contact with Maw.
"I do not wish to overhaul your position chief abstracts, it's obvious the multiverse has chosen you three as their rulers." Maw said as he looked towards the chief abstracts who still looked as if they were in the edge of their seats. "All I wish is to join this system you have made."
The people were shocked, they didn't understand why he would want to do such a thing.
"We cannot just let you become a cosmic being, for all we know it could have been you who caused the great miasma!" One of the chief abstracts responded as they looked towards Maw in a frightful manner.
"With all do respect, I have no clue as to what this great miasma is." Maw replied in a condescending tone. "You see from the way you say it it seems that this miasma problem is something quite serious."
"It is obviously serious."the chief abstracts respond. "Yet this issue is fare more serious than any mortal can comprehend, with the miasma coming from the terror realm. Yet non of the demons are powerful enough to cause a problem on this magnitude." Maw's face changed as he was left in thought however it was shattered when Tera spoke up in anger. "So are you implying that Maw is the cause of this issue!!!" She raged but Maw soon placed her hand on her shoulder before smiling. "Calm down." He whispered to her before walking towards the chief abstracts.
"It could not have possibly been me for while I was in the boundless halls I had sealed away my powers." Many of the cosmic beings nodded with agreement and it was visibly obvious that the abstracts still did not trust him.
"How about this, I will solve the miasma issue and you make me a cosmic entity, given I am the must powerful one here in sure I will be able to prove my worth." The abstracts looked at him in what looked like uncertainty before Eliza piped up
"Your majesty's, I do believe Maw's ultimatum is valid. He has the best chance of stopping the issue and from what I can sense, has no intent of taking control." Eliza said.
The chief abstracts all began to think staring towards maw in a dominating way. "Very well, but you must be under the supervision of a cosmic being." One of the chief abstracts responded in a defeated tone before waving towards the people in the chamber.
The cosmic beings all began to speak as they one by one left the sanctum, with the abstracts and cosmic beings they sat on the chairs, standing up.
"Glad we could come to an agreement." Maw said as he smiled towards Tera. "I will take Tera then to supervise me."
The chief abstracts however shock their heads before calling out "rianor!!"
Rianor swiftly turned around from the doors and made his way towards the abstracts.
"You will accompany Maw and make sure he does not do anything out of line. As payment for the slanderous words you said directly to our faces." One of the chief abstracts said with a face full of anger. However Maw was shocked as he looked towards the abstracts in defiance "I said I would like to have Tera accompany me, I do not see why I can't"
"It's simple, you to could plot something against us while your gone so it would be wise to have one of you under our control." One of the chief abstracts responded as Tera's face became visibly vexed.
Maw was already annoyed before nodding his head "then I'll prepare to make my leave." Maw said as he gestured to Rianor and walked out of the sanctum.
"What a bunch of pretentious bastards!!"Maw cursed as he turned towards Rianor. "How do you put up with them it is honestly horrible."
Rianor laughed sad he turned to face Maw and responded. "We don't, yet we have to hide our grievances or there will be another cleansing Hahahahaha!!" Rianor laughed before stopping and then letting out a sigh. "It really is an honour to be working with you lord Maw." However Maw simply laughed before waving his hand.
"Stop the formalities, I find it annoying." Maw respond as the two continued to converse all the way out of the palace and into the great avenue.
"My lord, if you don't mind I'd like to ask a question." Rianor inquired as he looked toward him.
"Go ahead." Maw replied
"You have the power, and the ability to so why do you not just take over yourself. Why do you want to be a cosmic being?" He asked as he stared at maw.
"Well..... from what I observed from my imprisonment, the role of a cosmic being us quite fun and you are free to do many things." He responded as the two continued to walk. "I am not fit to be a ruler always fit to be a subordinate, just like how it was with Tera those many years ago."
Maw smiled but it soon faded as he remembered about Tera and was to preoccupied with Rianor to take a moment to think. The truth was, the moment he saw Tera he felt as if his world had come back to him and that gaping hole in his heart was sealed yet a thought still lingered in the back of his mind of how she was alive.
"Also may I ask as to why you sealed your self for some couple hundred billion years." Rianor enquired but for some reason the question had taken maw of guard and he stopped dead In his tracks.
"Ughhh" he groaned slightly as thousands of thoughts raced through his mind 'I just had to be reminded' 'has it really been billions of years I must have lost track of time' ' someone please save me'.
In that moment a voice echoed behind the. "Elvaris." Maw turned around in shock as he knew who it was who had called him out. Forgetting all about Rianor and the task at hand, Maw not wanting to lose face in the sanctum, was finally able to throw his arms around Tera in a deep hug. The two laughed and Rianor watched from the side feeling very out of place, yet Maw was racing with emotions and he whispered into her ear. "I'm so happy your here."
The two finally broke from the embrace and Rianor was shocked to see the stark difference of character of when Maw was in the sanctum compared to now.
"Ugh, My lords how is it that you two know each other?" Rianor asked as he tried his best to include himself.
"Well why shouldn't we, we are both primordial's we knew each other in the times of creation. It was a horrible period of time but we had each other's backs." Tera replied in a soft tone before resting her hand on the hilt of her sabre, before turning back to Maw. " I thought you would never come out of that damned realm you made, so much happened that I wished you could have witnessed."
Maw smiled before chuckling. "I know I'm sorry it's just I thought....never mind, I must get to the terror realm though so we shall discuss stuff later." Maw said as he walked towards Rianor, Tera nodded in a smile before she disappeared in a white ray of light that shot up to the sky. With that the two continued to walk and made it to the plaza "you sure acted different towards Tera than the abstracts." Rianor said in joking manner. "Seems you two are close, it's a shame you missed her wedding though."
Maws smile that danced upon his face immediately faded upon hearing his words. "She got married..?"
"Yes it was a while back but a beautiful event, it's rare to see a celestial fall in love." Maw simply smiled before grabbing the arm of Rianor.
"Hold on." He said before a bright white light erupted around them and carried them swiftly away.
