"It feels so cold," Arthur comments, slowly opening his eyes. "It's so dark. Is this what death feels like?"
[We meet again Arthur.]
"Wait, this voice…Romanov?" He asks, jolting as he remembers the familiar voice.
[Yes Arthur.]
"What's going on? Please tell me! I just died and it's all driving me crazy. Please my mom too, I couldn't save her." He says, his voice trembling as tears fill his eyes.
[Calm down Arthur we don't have much time left. I can't keep this space open for too long, the other gods will find out soon.]
"I don't understand," He claims, finally starting to calm down.
[Listen carefully to what I'm going to say from now on Arthur.]
"..."
[Long ago, before your planet even came to existence, I was the sole being who existed. With time I began to form the world you have come to know about. But one day I decided to create beings who could wield divine power,so I created 7 beings called "Demi-gods." I had no idea it would be the biggest mistake ever made, the 7 of them turned against me and stole a portion of my power, and then they sealed me.]
"Why did they turn on you if you created them?" He asks, confused by what he's hearing.
[They grew selfish desires after seeing my true power, so they wanted it for themselves. Arthur you are the key, the one I chose to fix the mistakes I made and the one who will save the world. You have to kill the 7 demigods.]
"How am I supposed to fight against beings with such immense power? I'm just a weak human who couldn't even protect a single person," He claims, spreading his arms as a self affirming gesture to emphasize his point.
[Right now yes, but I shall grant you my power and it will guide you. But I will not be able to converse with you for a while, so try not to lose yourself until then Arthur.]
"What?"
[That mark on your hand, it holds the power of life & death, it allows you to regress to a particular point when you die. It also holds the rest of my power. However, you are not ready to wield it yet, since your body is still too weak at the moment. Get stronger Arthur, and make that power yours.]
"But I have no idea how to use it," He claims.
[As I said before, It will guide you. Everything you need is there, deep within you. You just have to look carefully. It seems our time is up, I can't keep this space open for too long, I'm fading away.]
"Wait! I still have a lot to ask!"
[Goodbye Arthur, I wish you luck.]
"Stop! Romanov!" He yells, reaching out his arm.
[Believe in yourself and you will find the answers.]
"Romanov!"
[END]
