Chereads / Wolf in Ruins / Chapter 16 - The Unknown

Chapter 16 - The Unknown

Nieo slept in Tiamat's arm but as she slept memories began to pour out in the form of a clear and unseen aura. Fenrir could feel the pressure from it, causing him to look over at her. "She's definitely got the aura for it..." His eyes flicker for a split second, allowing him to see the aura, that is now white as snow but unlike Archangels, it was smooth and gentle.

Tiamat and Zeus look at the girl but both were barely able to see it.

"Fenrir... How do you see this aura?"

Obsidia who now stood beside her brother looked at Fenrir, knowing he was probably the only one who could see Archangel's.

"Archangel had something similar, but it was dark and at first, it terrified me...". She walked over to Fenrir and gently placed her hand on his bare shoulder.

"Zero and I are unable to see it, but we could feel it every time he was angered."

Tiamat looks at the two then nods. "If her's was like his we would feel it by now then."

Zeus walked over to Fenrir "Your grandfather left to see if Ra is okay. He should be back any moment. Until he returns we should keep watch over this girl."

Tiamat looks down at her. "Nieo... What have you gone through..."

Fenrir looks down and clenched his fists. "If he is involved in her memory loss and her suffering... I'll make him pay..." The moment he said that, he feels his heart stops as though someone had a grip around it which causes him to drop to his knees and collapse to the ground.

"Fenrir... Wake up boy." He hears an unfamiliar voice calling his name. "Fenrir."

He wakes up to a white room similar to Archangels but not. The room was white with no reflections.

"Ugh.... Where am I?" He asks waiting for a response but doesn't hear anything for a moment.

"I have chosen to speak with you as you have seen my power slightly." A man walks over to him. His hair was black and slicked back and was clean shaven.

Fenrir struggles to lean forward for a moment then stands up. "I have frozen time for a moment and brought you here."

"You're her Father aren't you?" He placed his hand on his chest as he was finally able to recover.

The man steps away for a moment. "She had been secluded here in this place for so long so I entrusted her to my Archons, Valoel and Rahmiel."

"Who is the one that goes by Archangel?"

The man walks back to Fenrir. "Exactly who I said. He abused his power when I sent them to Earth."

Fenrir looks at the man for a moment. "Valoel is Archangel.... He never did remove his helmet when I met him. Why?"

"As I said before. He and Rahmiel were my Archons. Archangels I created before I created Nieo, my daughter."

Fenrir walks close to the towering man and looks up at him. "Then who are you? For the longest time, I've met most of the gods of old except you, let alone hear anything about you until recently."

"Nobody worships me, and I prefer it that way." The two begin to walk down the corridor "But to answer your question, you can simply call me Eaos."

Fenrir began to think but the name simply wasn't there. "So why do the old gods know about you, but is immortals don't? Why wait to reveal yourself now when you could've stopped my siblings from dying?"

"I know you have many questions my boy, but allow me to show you something. This may answer everything."

Fenrir sighs softly then follows behind. After a few moments of walking down the long corridor, Eaos stops before an open door. Fenrir steps through past the god and is greeted by a blinding light. Once he was able to see, Fenrir looks out and can see the world before him. Green trees, blue sky, deep blue oceans.

"This is where I was able to begin my work. The old Gods called it, The Creation." Eaos scratched the back of his head. "Although the dinosaurs was small failure on my part."

Fenrir looks at him then back to the scenery. He was looking at the world from this God's perspective now.

"You never did answer my question from earlier."

Eaos steps over to the white railing for a moment. "After The Creation, and the end of the Dinosaurs, I allowed Valoel to escort Nieo to Earth, to watch as your Old Gods were born and began the creation of Man. I unfortunately, at the time could not leave this place as the Universe had bound me to it." He began to tell the story of Nieo's journey across the world.

After listening to the Old God's story, Fenrir knew deep down he and the others had to take on new roles in this new and unexpected journey.

"May I ask you one final question?" He asks as he was aware the answer he was about to get from this God may not be the best.

"Of course, but after I tell you, I must send you back. My power is unlimited, but to the universe, you're not supposed to be here."

Fenrir nods and begins to ask "You knew I would try to go back in time to undo what I did. Was it to save her?"

Eaos smiles and looks down. "She has suffered so much for so long, and as a father, I felt helpless with each passing day..." He looked up at Fenrir "You are the only chance at protecting her. If you can find Rahmiel you might have a stronger chance."

"I won't stop until I find her. I will watch over Nieo as I look for Rahmiel."

"Nieo's memories might come to her if she meets Rahmiel." Eaos says softly, a light surrounds Fenrir for a moment. "I must send you back now. Thank you..." He is cut off as Fenrir opens his eyes and is standing where he last was with the others, time unfreezing around him as if nothing ever happened. Everyone stood around him but is surprised to see him standing

"I met him."

Tiamat and Zeus look back at eachother, both still trying to comprehend what just happened.

"I met Nieo's Father."
