Walking through the rubble and shrublet's of bodies around the Orderial Palace, makes me feel uneasy, to think that place so sacred so holy would end with a future so,

Looking around,

Trying to find a word to describe this scene,

So barren and despicable,

Why did this happen?

The light from the Orderial throne starts beaming brightly up into the sky, the lights eclipsed each other and separated evenly through the sky

The only way I could find out is to go back,

Back to the,

I look around to see myself back to the time everything was still in order,

IV VV XX-XXVII

This was nine months before it happened, I remember I came to the temple to pray that day,

There you are, so that means that must be, Efia? I turn around to see her standing behind me,

What are you doing here? Leon has been waiting for us, come, come, Efia grabs my hand and leads me outside as the sun shined brightly through my eyes, Looking around nothing has changed from the things I remember,

But Efia she looks different, especially different from the future,

I told you, I want to go alone,

Promise me you'll be safe?

Of course, I promise, the last thing I remember was her dying, dying in the fire

Leon, we're here, I look towards the man, sitting on the chair in front of me, the man that I would fight one day, the betrayer

So, Where have you been? He looked at me with his eyes glistening in front of me, I can feel him this time

I was just in the temple praying to Selene, He laughs as Efia slaps him on the back

I can't believe this, can you believe this Efia? He looks towards Efia as she gives him an annoyed look

Oh, Come on you both can't be mad at me for laughing, It's just believing in God's is a big waste of energy, Especially here in Criox, He walks up to me and pats my head,

You know I'm just joking, of course, don't be so rilled up about it, Let's go we have to pay our respects to the Sentinals, He walks towards the Riverside, I look towards Efia as she raises her shoulders and follows behind him

Oh, Lumino, what brings you here to old, Criox, I never knew we were you're favorite, Leon walks up to Lumino trying to hug him

Stop, I don't accept your hugs, Lumino raises his hand and places it on Leon's face blocking him away

Efia, Lumino bows at Efia as she smiles at him and bows as well, Huh? Weirdly enough I don't remember Lumino being here,

He walks towards me with a small smile on his face as he took my hand

Ioana, It's nice to see you again, He kissed my hand, I can feel his power radiating from him

It's nice to see you too again, Lumino, He nodded his head before walking past me,

He seems to be heading to the temple today, Efia says as Leon rolls his eyes

What he is gonna do there? Count how many offerings people in Criox gave to Selene? Efia shushes Leon as he rolls his eyes again

Whatever, Let's just go, I look back towards where Lumino went and didn't know that he was still looking at me, we accidentally made brief eye contact before I turned away

Well, that was awkward,

Ara munnus yus Callista, (I pray to thee)

Ara munnus yus Chronus, I was ready to place the powder near the statue but Leon didn't utter his thanks yet, I open my eyes to see Efia looking at Leon

Do I have to say Lumino? We both nod our heads as he sighed loudly

Ara munnus yus Lumino, We placed our offerings on each of the statues as they light up and soothing airbrushes over my skin

I look over to see Efia handing me the drinking vessel,

Thank You, I drank from it and hand it over to Leon

Thanks, He drinks from it before placing it on the ground and standing up

Okay, we're done here? Let's go to the arena, I heard new Antiques were found just as early as yesterday, Leon says before he starts sprinting down the hill almost tripping on the way down

Wait, Leon, Ughh, This Child, Efia looks at me with an annoyed face before running after Leon,

This was the day Leon garnished power it was that Crystal that gave him his power, the power that he would soon use to end everything,

I have to stop him,

Ioana, look doesn't this look beautiful? Efia hands me a pendant, I just nod my head, I'm too focused on what Leon chooses

I look around the table not seeing a sight of the Crystal,

Look this looks beautiful on you Callista, Efia places a flower crown on my head

Uh? Efia smiles and taps on Leon's shoulder

Look, Leon doesn't she look gorgeous? Uh, Uh, Uh

Uh, Uh, Uh, I knew he was going to do that, I continue looking around though no sign of that crystal anywhere

Hello, Everyone, I look up to see Chronus raising his hand up

Ara munnus yus, Everyone around me utters, as I look around, I could feel someone walking up to me, I look back to see Chronus looking down at me with Lumino behind him

How have you been? Miss us by any chance? Chronus looked at me with a serious face

Uh, No I don't think so, Why do I not remember this happening? Are these the present-day Chronus and Lumino?

I didn't expect you to visit, Chronus gave me a small smile as he pushed Lumino towards me

Lumino has been missing you, Ioana, Chronus said with a serious look on his face as Lumino bows at me

Uh, yeah, I guess I miss working with you too, Chronus smiles at Lumino as he walks inspecting the table filled with antiques and crystals

Efia, It's wonderful to see you again, Chronus smiled as he shakes her hand,

You too, It's surprising that you came here to Criox without a signal

Yes, I'm terribly sorry that it was quite unexpected, As Chronus was talking with Efia, Lumino gives me a Flare Blitz

Hmm? Uh, Thank You, He hands it over to me with a small smile appearing on his face

Callista,

What?

Callista made it,

She heard that it was quite cold up here so she got Safiya to sew it for you, Chronus says while looking at me, This is something new, why would Callista do this?

Why I left the Sentinals was because I wanted to start my own life and to help the people of Criox who were often treated unfairly by the Gods,

Selene, Uina, Isabella, Tavius, Coleus, and even the three main Sentinals all treated this one island unfairly

What do you mean, we give eternal winter? Everyone redirected their attention towards me, as Coleus clears his throat,

Since they won't respect our authority, they must be punished eternally, He slammed his fists unto the ground burning through the solid metal

But isn't an eternal winter too much? I understand all of what you said but what about giving them the same time as every other land? Coleus looks towards where Chronus and Lumino we're sitting at

Are you even a Sentinel, Ioana? He looks at me with an annoyed face before raising his eyebrows up

Well, yes I am-

I'm going to stop you right there, Remember the War of Hultian? (The War of Eternity, Everlasting War) That lasted for seven thousand years and even then it took ten more years to reclaim the power again,

Do you want another repeat of that entire fiasco? I look around the room to see everyone looking speechless, Even Selene who was sleeping looked speechless,

Then I will have to work on the people of Crioxs manners,

What? What do you mean? Chronus looks towards me

I will be, umm, how do I say this? I will be leaving to serve the humans,

What? Callista looked at me with a confused face as she whispers something in Chronus's ears

You can't be serious, right? I mean serving the humans? What are you a peasant? Isabella laughs as she looks towards Uina who looked at me with a confused expression

And how did you exactly plan this decision? Tavius looks at me raising his chin up

Since they are disobeying you then I will help to stop disobeying you,

And when do you plan to complete this? Callista looks at me while looking through a book

This plan will never be completed, They look at me with confusion again

*Sigh* You aren't getting the memo at all, I will serve them for eternity the same time we will give them eternal winter for,

Ioana, are you alright? I heard Lumino's voice as I whooshed out of the flashback

Uh, Sorry, Yeah I'm fine, just thinking about things,

Wait where are the others at?
