Chapter 9 - Three Images

Within the rooms images of a glorious beautiful individual on a battlefield was displayed, he was valiantly fighting against what could only be described as winged humans. The gender of this person couldn't clearly be asserted but it was sure if you asked a man he would say it was a beautiful woman, with the perfect figure and the finest face. If a woman saw this they would imagine a man, with muscular features that was delicate yet showed his strong will. Lucius was the most shocked out of everyone who saw the image, as they were him!

From his previous life, as the scenes continued it changed and began to show the image of a tree, from it sprouting stages to its eventual withering, on this tree it had a fruit that resembled an apple which had a divine presence that could be felt even through the images. The final scene that was displayed was of a city but within this city the mood felt very strange everyone was going about their daily lives but with a lifeless look in their eyes it felt very weird and creepy. After the last scene was displayed the room remain silent until Gregory spoke, "father do you understand what this means"? "I'm not sure", Adam replied. For elemental and foundational laws they were easily recognizable as books about these laws were more widespread, which let anyone testing for laws aware immediately if one possessed either. Yet for the images shown no one present within the room were sure about the meaning of the three images shown.

No one expect Lucius, although he wasn't too sure of what laws these belong to, he knew each of these events vividly. The first image was of him rebelling against the old man, the second image was within that despicable garden, while the third image was of the city of Gomorra in which he played with the wills of the people within. "Hmm I'm not too sure about the meaning but from their reaction I'm guessing it is something similar or above the unique trait mentioned before" Lucius thought. Looking on Adam, Lilith and Gregory were both stumped about the meanings of these images, Adam and Gregory both possessed affinity with a specific law so therefore there weren't strangers to matters concerning laws but this matter before was completely unheard to them.

"I believe to fully understand what these images mean we'd need to consult a demigod" Adam said with a frown on his face. Although the King once boasted of a demigod within their ranks that was centuries ago, now although they are a powerful bloodline family on Hairouna they don't have enough weight to ask a demigod for a favor. "I believe we might have to wait until he goes to the academy to find out" said Gregory. Although they might not know the Academy on Mustique may have a clue. "But although we aren't too sure what these laws represent we do know for sure they are above foundational and elemental laws" said Adam.

This was obvious as these images the power and majesty shown within them was something unheard of within regular laws, Ha-ha my grandson is really a genius", Adam lifted Lucius in the air and caught him again. Experiencing this Lucius simply smiled, although he may be thought of someone evil and unscrupulous this is only relative to who perceives it. For example within Lucius previous world angels wiped out entire cities, countries and entire planets out of existence for their amusement. As to why no one has ever heard of it, who was there to witness it other than the Demons and the angels themselves every other being died. It is unrealistic for angels to badmouth themselves and trusting a demon words is impossible, even Lucius himself wouldn't trust his own subordinates sometimes if he was someone else.
