"Godly flame?" Ethan raised an eyebrow. He knew the term "godly" was associated with celestial beings, so he was left confused, and, besides, as far as he knew, he was not celestial.
" Yes, it is associated with gods." Many, many years ago, the elder gods forged six stones, which they called eternal stones.
These stones were created to keep the gods in check; however, the elder gods who created the stones were not excluded either
The stones also served as a punishment for all gods. The reason the stones were made in the first place was that the gods interfered in human life; hence, the elder gods made them. The stones served as a punishment for the gods.
Each one of the six eternal stones had the power of the elder gods, which were made up of six gods.
The stones and their powers are as follows:
The shadow stone represents the power of the shadow.
The stone of Hades can control the dead and anything related to them, such as vampires, zombies, undead, and all the rest.
pacific stone has the ability to control and have domination of all things inside and above the seas.
The Stone of Creation gave the ability to create weapons capable of killing fully matured gods; the elder gods were not excluded.
"This is the ones I know; I don't know about the other one, but from what I heard, it should be very powerful."
"Wait — I don't think your math adds up. You have mentioned only 4 and now you are saying it's only 1 you are not aware of, so can you please elaborate more? " Ethan asked. According to the ancient dragon, there were six eternal stones, so what about his stone?
Rowena looked at him and sighed. It was as if he had expected this question; nevertheless, he still answered.
" The eternal flame as the name sounds is godly energy, and it is stronger than any energy source. There is also a legend that says it can consume gods to a crisp. Even lighting pales in comparison. I wish I could tell you more, but am afraid I can't. "
Ethan frowned and asked, "Why can't you tell me?"
"It is for your own good. I have already told you enough, and if I tell you anything more than this, it would cause more harm than good. "
" Alright, I understand; anyway, we should get going now," Ethan said, and soon, Rowena merged with him again and he left the training room.
On the way, Ethan saw many students walking in the hallway; they mostly walked in groups. He also saw some of them coming out of the other training rooms, and they were all mostly sweaty. The entire hall was noisy, but the students still managed to keep their voices low, as this was a military school and the school valued discipline more than anything.
Ethan passed several students and military personnel before reaching his dorm room. He felt the slick metal door handle before twisting it, and he walked inside.
Unbeknownst to Ethan, there was a student at the side, not too far away, who watched as he walked into his dorm room.
Meanwhile, inside one of the training rooms, Ileus could be seen punching a punching bag viciously. Visible sweat could be seen all over his topless chest. It looked like he was drenched in water.
He was punching the bag furiously, which caused it to tear apart.
If one looks closely, they will admit the training was, indeed, a hard-core one.
Ileus was now getting tired, but he continued. As he was punching, he remembered a distinctive voice saying, "If you want to save her, then you have to beat me first."
Ileus increased his punches as the words repeatedly played in his head. He was now determined. "Don't worry, bastard, I will soon be back for you, and when I do, am going to beat the crap out of you," Ileus said, as his eyes glowed red.

In a dark and gloomy world, a bloody, crescent-shaped moon could be seen. The atmosphere of the place was heavy, and a particular stench was all over the place. All the buildings were dyed in deep shades of red. The world looked like it was created with a dark atmosphere in mind.
Even the trees in this world were deep shades of black and the leaves looked dead; furthermore, the entire place was quiet, very quiet.
Strangely, all of the buildings appeared to be from the Gothic era, and a dim red light emitted from the windows; additionally, a large, magnificent castle with massive pillars on all four corners stood in the centre.
In contrast to the large, magnificent castle, all the other buildings looked like ants.
And also, the streets had street lights that emitted dim red lights and cars, which were technologically advanced on par with the human race. The whole place had electricity, which was very dull, and it only made the place more gloomy.
Strange creatures had human shapes, with almost all of them putting on a hood or cloak, and they were unnaturally quiet.
The strange creatures had different shapes; some of them had 2 horns sticking out of their foreheads, but they still looked like humans; in contrast, some looked like humans completely; and also, some looked like a mixture of human and beast. However, they acted as if they were not alive, which further made this place seem like an isolated ruin.
In conclusion, this place looked like it was from the Gothic era with a little bit of advanced technology.
Suddenly, a mini spaceship crashed from the sky into a dark forest. When the spaceship landed, it made all the dust rise from the impact of the spaceship.
After the dust finally settled, one could see the spaceship turned upside down with a few electric sparks.
Then, a round metal door rotated around in a circle for a few seconds before it stopped, and with a chilling sound, it opened. A large figure that seemed to be a human in his late 20s walked out of the spaceship. The figure soon stretched his stiff bones due to sitting for a long time. Then, he raised his gaze towards the large castle, which even the tree failed to obstruct.
The figure soon smirked, and he said, "My journey starts from here. Hahaha! They made the biggest mistake by sending me here." The figure's smile became more profound, and he said, "I will return, and I shall be crowned emperor Kane Dracon, the fifth."
