ACE POV:
I opened my eyes and was surprised to find myself where I was. I was in front of a huge cave in the middle of nowhere. It was very dark outside.
Then, I saw a dim light glowing from inside the cave. I went inside the cave, moving towards the light.
As I got closer, the light got brighter and brighter. Then, I got to the source of the light. I marvelled at what I saw!
It was a large red bird in flames. It flapped it's wings & screeched loudly, shaking the very foundations of the cave.
It then fixed it's blazing gaze on me. I moved closer towards the bird. As it's screech got louder and louder, I got closer and closer. Then, I stood in front of it and it stopped moving.
I stretched out my hand to touch it. It then brewed more flames from it's body. My hand moved past the flames but strangely, it felt normal.
I touched the head of the bird. Suddenly, energy surrounded us like a powerful tornado. A bright light started to glow from the tornado.
Then, I heard a familiar voice "It will find you, when you need it the most". I was surprised to hear the voice. It was Dad's! It was so long; I missed him so much. I shouted
"Dad, Dad, Da...addd".
I heard a faint voice.
"Ace, Ace, are you alright?". It was Mom's.
I jerked awake to find myself in a strange place. I looked around to find Mom, Jane and Shola looking at me, very worried.
"You're awake, thank goodness" said Willis as he entered into the room.
"What happened to me?" I asked.
"You were unconscious for 2 days" replied Shola.
"Two days?" I asked in shock.
Suddenly, my head began to spin; I began to hear strange things.
I could hear Jane's heartbeat, I could feel Mom's pain, I could read Shola's thoughts. I held my ears tight and tried to steady myself. Soon, it was all gone.
"Ace, there's something you need to know. It can no longer be kept a secret from you anymore" Willis said.
He looked at Mom and she nodded to him.
He continued "You have a powerful gift".
"I don't understand" I replied.
"I'll show you" Willis said. He snapped his hands and the lights went out.
"Acerbus Meradie" he said.
Light energy started to come from his hands. Suddenly, we found ourselves in a strange dimension.
"Where are we?" I asked.
"I'm showing you the past. The beginning of what's happening" he said.
THIRD-PERSON POV:
A long time ago, Arzetis, the habitation of gods was created by Godan, the Prime. He made other gods like him and ruled them. Every Edriva, Godan made a world and placed 7 gods, controlling an essential part of that worldwide. In our world, he placed Machos, Ephonia, Reimas, Iprita, Namina, Arith and Durz.
A war broke out in Arzetis as Melithos sought to overthrow Godan. Godan defeated Melithos and banished him from Arzetis.
In a quest for revenge, Melithos created his own army and invaded worlds, killing the gods in charge.
He became dreaded and known as the Dark One.
When he arrived our world, the gods fought valiantly. When Arith saw that they couldn't stop him, he connected with energy force from the Edriva of our world, sealing the Dark One away into a gemstone created by the remnants of Durz's power.
Godan used the next Edriva to recreate our world, sealing the gemstone in an unknown dimension.
The gods of our world began to have descendants. Every generation, a pure-blood descendant of all six gods is born, running a cycle to keep balance to this world.
Should the cycle be altered, a danger of the Dark One being released poses a threat to the existence of the universe.
